DETROIT (Juni 23, 2018) – Claressa Shields wurde Weltmeisterin in zwei Divisionen, und Christina Hammer behielten ihre beiden Weltmeistertitel, da beide am Freitagabend einstimmige Siege holten Showtime Boxing: SONDERAUSGABE aus dem Freimaurertempel in Detroit, Mich.

 

 

 

Und jetzt haben sie einander im Visier.

 

 

 

Die zweifachen olympischen Goldmedaillengewinner im nahegelegenen Flint, Mich., wurde zum ersten Mal in ihrer Karriere niedergeschlagen 53 Sekunden in der ersten Runde, Aber sie konnte zurückkommen und jede Runde danach gewinnen, um eine zweigeteilte Weltmeisterin zu werden und die vakanten IBF- und WBA-Mittelgewichts-Weltmeisterschaften gegen Hanna Gabriels zu gewinnen. Die Richter haben den Kampf gewertet 98-91, 97-92 zweimal.

 

 

 

Hammer betrat den Ring nach dem Kampf mit den Schilden, und ein emotionaler Shields drückte sich auf Hammer und es folgten einige Schubsen und Schubsen. (siehe Video HIER)

 

 

 

„Ich habe es nur satt, dass Hammer mich die ganze Zeit respektlos behandelt,„Schilde (6-0, 2 KOs) sagte,. „Sie kommt nach all meinen Rechten in den Ring, redet über Müll, und dann geht sie da rein und sieht aus wie [Mist] gegen Nelson. Ich habe es satt. Aber ich habe sie wissen lassen, dass ich mehr als bereit für einen Kampf gegen sie bin. Sie wollte, dass ich heute Nacht verliere, Aber ich wollte, dass sie gewinnt, weil ich gegen sie kämpfen will. Wir müssen uns jetzt vereinen.“

 

 

 

Shields und Gabriels begannen den Kampf wütend zu schwingen, aber es war Gabriels (18-2-1, 11 KOs) die sich auf einem rechten Uppercut verbunden haben und Schilde an die Leinwand gesendet haben. (siehe das Knockdown-Video HIER)

 

 

 

„Einmal ging ich runter, Ich atmete tief ein und erinnere mich, dass ich bei mir dachte, ‚Ich bin dabei, dieses Mädchen auszupeitschen‘“, sagte Shields. "Ich erinnere mich nur, dass ich dachte, lass uns den Jab benutzen und schlau sein."

 

 

 

Costa Ricas Gabriels, ein einheitlicher 154-Pfund-Titelhalter, kam ins Gewicht und versuchte, ein Weltmeister in drei Divisionen zu werden. (siehe Highlights von Shields-Gabriels HIER).

 

 

 

„Ich habe trainiert, um die Distanz zu gehen, aber mein Herz hat mich verraten, denn nach dem ersten klopfen, Ich habe nach einem anderen gesucht,“ sagte Gabriels, der amtierende WBA- und WBO-Champion, der in ihr kämpfte 12th gerader WM-Kampf seit dem Gewinn des Weltergewichts-Titels in 2009. „Ich wollte allen zeigen, dass ich das Herz eines Kriegers habe.

 

 

 

„Ich hatte nach dem Knockdown nicht das Gefühl, im Vorteil zu sein“. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass ich Runde für Runde arbeiten muss, um überhaupt eine Chance auf den Sieg zu haben.“

 

 

 

Gabriels hinzugefügt: „Sie hat viel Kraft. Es war ein toller Kampf und man muss die Entscheidung der Richter akzeptieren. Sie ist mächtig und für die Fans lief es meiner Meinung nach gut.

 

 

 

Shields suffered a cut on the left cheek in round 10, and also overcame a head butt. She recalled being hurt by Gabriels’ punches to the head just three times in the fight. “The first round, fourth round and the eighth round, other than that she didn’t hit me with no head shots.”

 

 

 

Shields – in her first fight with new trainer John David Jackson – said she learned something about herself after the fight. “I can get put on my ass, get up and come back and win,” she said. “Tonight was my night and I have to show the world I’m the greatest of all-time. I showed who I am. Jetzt, I’m really dangerous because you can even put me down, and I’ll still come back to win.”

 

 

 

The difference in the fight was Shields’ Richtigkeit, vor allem in Bezug auf ihre Powershots, als sie sich anschloss 42 Prozent im Vergleich zu Gabriels 26 Prozent.

 

 

 

Shields wurde nach dem Kampf gefragt, wann sie sich Hammer stellen möchte. „Hoffentlich kommt es als nächstes,” she said. „Ich brauche keine Ruhe. Ich hätte sie heute Nacht auspeitschen können. Ich habe sie und ihr ganzes Team einfach so satt.“

 

 

 

 

 

Bei einem einseitigen Sieg in ihren mit Spannung erwarteten USA. Debüt, Hammer (23-0, 10 KOs) blieb mit einer einstimmigen Entscheidung gegen Tori Nelson ungeschlagen (17-2-3, 2 KOs). Die Noten waren 100-90, 99-91 zweimal, ihre WBC- und WBO-Mittelgewichts-WM-Titelgürtel zu behalten. (siehe Hammer-Nelson-Highlights HIER).

 

 

 

„Es wäre besser gewesen, ein KO . zu bekommen,“ sagte Hammer, wer ist 27 Jahre alt und aus Dortmund, Deutschland. „Ich habe alles versucht, um den Knockout zu bekommen. Sie war hart. Ich hoffe, die USA sind damit gut und ich bin immer noch der Champion.“

 

 

 

“I’m really looking forward to fighting Claressa. She will try and fight me on the inside but my footwork and my reach will make the difference. The fight with Claressa will be a game-changer. It will be the biggest women’s fight ever. I would like to fight her at a neutral site.”

 

 

 

“I’m very disappointed in my performance tonight,” said an emotional Nelson after the fight. “It’s a loss, of course it’s disappointing. I wasn’t busy enough, I guess.”

 

 

 

In her last fight, Nelson lost a unanimous decision to Shields back in January. “Claressa is better,” Nelson said. “Shields has a jab and uses the ring. Claressa stands there and wants to fight. She has all the punches. Hammer only has one.”

 

 

 

In der Sendung Opener, Umar Salamov (21-1, 16 KOs) mit einer tödlichen rechten Hand verbunden, um Brian Howard KO zu schlagen (13-2, 10 KOs) 53 Sekunden in die neunte Runde eines geplanten 10-Runden-Halbschwergewichtskampfes.

 

 

 

Salamov, von Alkhan-Kala, Russland, gab sein USA-Debüt und trainiert im berühmten Kronk Gym in Detroit mit Javan „Sugar“ Hill Steward. In einem Kampf zwischen zwei langen und schlaksigen Kämpfern, Salamov landete 34 Prozent seiner Kraftschläge im Vergleich zu 27 Prozent für Howard und lag zum Zeitpunkt des KO auf allen drei Kampfrichtern vorne.

 

 

 

"Ich wurde in der zweiten Runde von einem seiner Schüsse ein wenig verletzt", aber ich habe mich davon nicht stören lassen, denn das sind meine USA. Debüt,Sagte Salamov, ein sechsjähriger Profi, der 24 Jahre alt. „Ich habe einfach weiter gekämpft. Nachdem ich von diesem Schlag getroffen wurde, Ich fing an, nach vorne zu kommen und sobald ich das getan hatte, der Kampf hat sich verändert.“

 

 

 

Salamov sagte, er habe gewusst, dass Howard verletzt war, als er auf der ersten rechten Seite verbunden war. "Ich wusste, sobald ich den Schlag landete, dass er sehr verletzt sein würde","Er sagte. „Ich habe es bis zum Ellbogen gespürt. Danach wollte ich ihn nicht mehr schlagen, weil ich wusste, dass er fertig war.“

 

 

 

Der ehemalige Cruisergewichtler Howard hatte einige Highlights und konnte seine rechte Hand mehrfach effektiv landen, einschließlich einer starken rechten Flanke in der siebten Runde, die Salamov . zu betäuben schien.

 

 

 

„Ich würde sagen, ich habe fair gehandelt, Ich habe es gut gemacht,“ sagte Howard, ein ehemaliger Minor-League-Footballspieler, der außerhalb von Atlanta lebt und sein SHOWTIME-Debüt gab. „Ich hatte das Glück, den Anruf von Salamovs Team und von SHOWTIME zu erhalten. Ich werde wiederkommen."

 

 

 

Der Tripleheader am Freitag wird am Montag wiederholt, Juni 25 bei 10 p.m. ET / PT auf EXTREME Showtime und wird auf Showtime ANYTIME zur Verfügung® und Showtime-on-Demand®.

FLASH ZITATE:

 

Claressa SHIELDS:

"Ich habe jetzt John David Jackson und ich habe so viel von ihm gelernt, seit wir uns im Februar getroffen haben. Ich hatte in der Vergangenheit Trainer, die versuchten, meinen Stil und mein Spiel zu ändern, Aber am Ende des Tages muss ich einfach hineingehen und kämpfen, wie ich es kann.

 

 

 

„Ich bin für mein letztes Lager in Flint, Sie würden nicht all die Dinge glauben, mit denen ich mich befassen musste. Nur Dinge, die einem Weltmeister nicht passieren sollten. Es war stressig, und ich war sogar in der Woche des Kampfes gestresst [im Januar]. Ich musste raus. Diesmal konnte ich in Florida trainieren.

 

 

 

"[Hannas] ein guter Kämpfer. Sie hat Fähigkeiten und genau so, wie sie sich selbst trägt. Sie ist sehr ruhig und ihre Mimik ändert sich nie. Ich habe den Kampf beobachtet, in dem sie ausgeknockt wurde, und selbst dann änderte sich ihr Gesichtsausdruck nicht. Ich denke sie ist hart, aber nicht so hart wie ich. Ich weiß, ich bin der bessere Kämpfer.

 

 

 

„Tori hat meine Macht unterschätzt. Ich denke, Tori hat eine Puncher-Chance [gegen Hammer]. Ich schließe meine Karriere nicht um Hammer. Unser Leben ist nicht miteinander verflochten. Ich muss mir Sorgen machen, was vor mir liegt. Ich werde diesen Kampf nicht sehen.

 

 

 

„Ich habe mich bei diesem Kampf auf meine Ernährung konzentriert. Ich habe nicht viel Familie in Florida und keine Ablenkungen. "

 

HANNA GABRIELS:

 

 

„Wir müssen auf den Tisch treten und sicherstellen, dass unser Spielplan auf den Punkt kommt, und wir geben den Fans, was sie sehen wollen, Das ist ein großartiger Kampf. Man muss viel überwinden und opfern, um an diesen Punkt zu gelangen, und mein Team hat das getan.

 

 

 

"Ich habe nie jemanden gefürchtet. Worte tun nichts. Wenn ich in den Ring steige, werde ich ein Biest sein.

 

 

 

"Ich bin mit allem, was kommt, einverstanden, Gewinn oder Verlust. Ich bin ein Champion und das ist meine Mentalität im Ring. Wir streben den Sieg an, und ich schätze alles, was passiert, um mich auf diesen Kampf vorzubereiten.

 

 

 

"Ich unterschätze ihre Macht nicht. Beim Boxen geht es aber nicht nur um Macht, es gibt so viel mehr. Du kannst mächtig sein, Aber kannst du den Schlag landen?? Kann es genau sein? Es gibt so viele Dinge im Ring, über die man sich Sorgen machen muss. “

 

CHRISTINA HAMMER:

 

 

"Ich war sehr enttäuscht, dass ich mich im Januar wegen meiner Visa-Probleme nicht wehren konnte.

 

 

 

"Ich war beim Kampf zwischen Claressa Shields und Tori Nelson und jetzt bin ich an der Reihe, in den Ring zu steigen. Ich gehe gerne vorwärts und bin aggressiv. Wenn du fertig bist, du beendest. Das amerikanische Volk wird meinen Stil mögen.

 

 

 

„Boxen ist meine Leidenschaft und mein Job, und ich bin vorbereitet und freue mich darauf. Jetzt ist der Tag da und es ist SHOWTIME. Wir denken nicht an Claressa Shields. Aus Respekt vor Tori Nelson, Ich konzentriere mich nur auf diesen Kampf. "

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

"Ich bin ein Power Puncher und ich habe meine Beine mehr im Lager benutzt, also war dieses Lager so viel anders als ich es gewohnt bin.

 

 

 

„Sie sagen, dass die Beleuchtung nur einmal zuschlägt, aber ich habe noch eine Chance. Ich bin so dankbar, dass ich den Ruf für diesen Kampf bekommen habe. Dies ist meine zweite Chance. Viele Menschen bekommen keine zweite Chance.

 

 

 

„Ich muss wirklich etwas beweisen. Viele Leute haben an mich geglaubt und ich muss zeigen, was ich im Ring tun kann.

 

 

 

„Ich denke, Christina übersieht mich. Es ist respektlos, aber ich bin froh. Es ist besser für mich, dass sie mich übersieht. "

 

UMAR SALAMOV:

 

 

„Dieser Kampf wird ein guter Test sein. Ich weiß, dass ich es nach oben schaffen kann 10, und das ist mein fang.

 

 

 

"Es gibt einen großen Unterschied, hier in Detroit zu leben, aber es ist Moskau sehr ähnlich, Eine große Stadt.

 

 

 

„Ich liebe es zu kämpfen, und dies ist ein wahr gewordener Traum, nach Amerika zu kommen. Brian Howard ist ein harter Gegner. Es wird kein einfacher Kampf, aber ich bin zuversichtlich, dass ich ihn schlagen kann. "

 

BRIAN HOWARD:

 

 

„Ich habe ein bisschen Ringrost, aber ich werde scharf sein. Ich habe mich gut vorbereitet und bin in Form. Ich habe einen guten Stoffwechsel, und kann leicht Gewicht verlieren.

 

 

 

„Ich habe meinen ersten Verlust gemacht 2012 und nachdem ich diesen Verlust hinnehmen musste, hatte ich nicht die Unterstützung, die ich brauchte. Ich habe mich wieder darauf eingelassen und es war nur schwer, einen Kampf zu bekommen. Ich habe viele Nr.

 

 

 

"Ich habe ein Band von meinem Gegner gesehen. Aber Sie wissen nicht, ob er sich ändern oder etwas anderes mitbringen wird.

 

 

 

„Ich boxe besser als ich Fußball spiele. Mein Spitzname ist MVP - Most Vicious Puncher.

 

 

 

"Ich sehe es nicht so, dass ich der B-Side-Kämpfer bin. Dies ist eine echte Chance für mich, und ich werde es voll ausnutzen. "

DETROIT (Juni 19, 2018) – Einheitliche Frauen-Super-Mittelgewicht-Weltmeister Claressa Shields and unified 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels spoke to the media at a workout session in Detroit just days before the two clash to decide the IBF & WBA Women’s Middleweight World Championships this Friday on SHOWTIME.

Here is what Shields and Gabriels had to say today at the Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit:

 

Claressa SHIELDS

 

“It’s been seven weeks of really hard work. A lot of people don’t know and I really don’t like to be open about it, but I got to 183 pounds after my last fight in January and now I’m 160. Das ist, 23 Pfund. I was in camp running and getting ready for the fight and having to focus on weight was very different for me.

 

 

“I feel good and ready to go. I’m happy that she made it in safe and all that but now I’m just excited. You all know how I get before fights. The champ is here.

 

 

 

 

“So much has changed since I first turned pro. In my first fight, I was frustrated against Franchon (Crews Dezurn) during our fight. I was frustrated throughout camp and I really couldn’t handle everything that was going on. Now I know how to handle the media, the workouts, the interviews and still remain disciplined. The fact that I had to lose so much weight this camp only added more discipline.

 

 

 

“It makes me so happy and it just touches my heart to see four female fighters on the main fight poster. I was so happy that they decided to put them on TV. They have put me on before but it’s always been my goal to put other women on so when they decided to put Tori Nelson and Christina Hammer on I was so excited because this has never been done before. Women’s boxing is going somewhere.

 

 

 

“I always knew that it would take me to turn professional for women’s boxing to go to a higher level. That’s why I waited to win a second Gold Medal before I turned professional. To be the one to be the leader is special. I feel like I go out there every fight and give my best and show that I can box better than 90 percent of the men that box. If you have a choice to make a man the main event or me the main event, I always want them to choose me.

 

 

 

“There’s always mutual respect between me and my opponents. I’m thankful for them because I can’t do this by myself. I thank Hanna for stepping up and it’s mutual respect until Friday. I start getting really mean on Thursday,Friday is the fight and then after that we can exchange numbers and be friends.

 

 

 

“I expect her to use her gifts. She’s really good on her legs and she’s strong up top. I think she lacks in speed so I expect her to try to counter me and try to force me to make mistakes with her movement. I think she underrates my power.

 

 

 

“I never said that I wanted to get more knockouts. I’m perfectly fine being 5-0 mit zwei Knockouts. Am Ende des Tages, I’m fine with that. The longer I’m in the ring boxing, desto besser. The more they get to see me on TV, that’s fine. Of course I would love to get the big knockout but look how disappointed Errol Spence Jr. was to get such a quick knockout of Ocampo. That didn’t please his fans. Wenn der Knockout kommt, es kommt.

 

 

 

“This will be my toughest fight. She’s the most skilled and has the most experience. She’s a three-time world champion. I’ve fought former world champions but she’s a three-time world champion to date. The girl that beat her, Hanna avenged that loss. I’m looking forward to her coming out and putting 100 percent in and I hope for us to have a great fight.

 

“I’m always confident going into fights. I’m not leaving the ring without having two new belts.”

 

HANNA GABRIELS

 

“I think that this is a time right now where women can have this type of platform. Claressa is a great champion and I have faced great women’s champions. I think it’s a great time for boxing fans to enjoy a quality fight. She’s a champion. Ich bin ein Champion. This will be a great matchup.

 

 

 

“You are going to see a very technical and aggressive fighter. That’s the only way that you can fight Claressa because she’s so aggressive herself and so tough, you can’t go in the ring passive against her. You have to put your life on the line in there and that’s what I’m planning to do.

 

 

 

“I feel honored to be on such a great card. This is a great opportunity and I just hope everybody sees this the way that I do. We trained hard. In my case, I wanted to bring the very best out of myself so the fans could leave the arena feeling great. Dies ist, was Boxen geht. Bringing entertainment and emotions that most other sports don’t bring to people.

 

 

 

„Dieser Kampf bedeutet mir sehr viel. Every person that I love is going through a hard time right now, including my family. I just want to lead by example and show everybody that all odds are nothing. You can still fight the battle with as many resources or as little resources as you have. I’m dedicating this fight to all my loved ones because I promise there will be better times for us.

 

 

 

“When I was five years old I was sexually abused so my teenage years were tough. Sports always took me away from that. When I got an injury and I had to stop competing in track, I thought my life was over. For the next five or six years, I was very destructive and felt like I didn’t have a purpose. When I turned 24, I started a different passage and learned that everything that happened to me just made me the person I am today.

 

 

 

“We don’t really focus on anybody’s weaknesses because we believe if you’re a good professional and you are dedicating your life to this, you are supposed to get better at your weaknesses. So we focus on her strengths and I think we have a great plan. They say that she’s been underestimating me a lot but I think it’s part of her game and part of what she does.

 

 

 

“I think her strengths are pretty obvious. She has great feet. I don’t know if she punches hard but she’s very explosive. She must have a lot of power and she’s very defensive. She keeps her distance and she’s so big and I’m so small that we will have to risk a lot of things. Her confidence is one of her biggest strengths.

 

 

 

“This will probably be my toughest fight so far. I never had an amateur career, I had just one fight. Claressa has fought 80-something times so my schooling has been in the professional environment and I have had to learn in the process. Every fight has been a hard fight because I have to solve problems and I think she is definitely the toughest opponent because she’s so tall and so fast. She must walk around normally at 185 pounds and I’m not as big so we were a little worried at the beginning at how we would reach her body but we finally were able to figure that out in training and I’m confident that my game is going to surprise her a lot.

 

 

 

“Hopefully we can bring a surprise and people will get to see me and let everybody know that there are more great boxers out there that aren’t getting the same exposure or marketing that Claressa is getting. I don’t feel disrespected, I see this is an opportunity to show what I’ve been working on. Let them plan. Maybe those plans will fall.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a great fight. She’s coming for the victory and I’m coming for the victory as well. She’s in for a big surprise.”

‘BULL VS. MATADOR’ MATCH-UP OF SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECTS BAKHTIYAR EYUBOV VS. NICHOLAS GIVHAN ADDED TO UNDERCARD OF CLARESSA SHIELDS VS. HANNA GABRIELS IBF & WBA WOMEN’S MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Another exciting battle between well-regarded prospects has been added to the un-televised undercard of Salita Promotions’ “Shields vs. Gabriels” event on Friday, Juni 22, at the Masonic Temple in Detroit.

 

 

 

In a classic “bull vs. matador” match-up, Kalamazoo, Michigan’s Nicholas “King Beamen” Givhan (21-1-1, 11 KOs) will face undefeated Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Eyubov (13-0, 11 KOs), from Aktjubinsk, Kasachstan, über 10 exciting super-lightweight rounds.

 

 

 

A six-year pro, Nicholas Givhan has had mixed results, so weit, against stronger opposition. He fought to a draw with France’s 8-1 Freddy Durand in August 2015 and suffered his lone setback against undefeated top contender Ivan Baranchyk in March 2016. Givhan has won five straight fights since then and was last seen scoring a unanimous decision over rugged veteran Agustin Cicero last February. Givhan is a smooth boxer with good instincts in the ring. The 32-year-old stands 5’ 9” and has a 68” reach.

 

 

 

“Training is going great. I’m putting the work in and prepping for the big fight,” said Givhan. “I’m a very good boxer and I’m looking forward to showing off my craft with no mistakes.”

 

 

 

Givhan says he respects Eyubov, but is confident of coming out on top.

 

 

 

“I would say he’s the toughest opponent I’ve faced so far. He comes and keeps coming and coming. He’s a very in-tight fighter and has nice power. It’s hard to say how the fight will go. Real fighters adapt to any style, so I can’t say if his style is made for mine. I just know that whatever he brings, I’ll be able to adapt.”

 

 

 

A six-year pro, Brooklyn-based Eyubov is originally from Aktjubinsk, Kasachstan. A charismatic showman, Eyubov is a fast-rising prospect who has appeared twice on ShoBox: Die neue Generation. He stopped then 16-2-1 Jared Robinson in three rounds in January 2016 and took an exciting 10-round split decision from veteran Karim Mayfield in August of the same year. He was last seen in January, when an accidental headbutt forced opponent Maurice Chalmers to quit in round one. The fight was ruled a No Contest. The 31-year-old stands 5’ 6” and has a 65.5” reach.

 

 

 

“I look forward to a great fight on June 22. I am the best junior welterweight in the world – a point I will prove it in this fight,” said Eyubov. “I will show my improved skills, strength and power in the ring. I had a great training camp in Brooklyn, New York, with my trainers Nirmal Lorick and Keith Hewitt. This is a very important fight for me I plan on making a statement and showing the world that I am the best and hardest punching man in the division.”

 

 

 

Eyubov says he’ll be looking for another knockout on June 22.

 

 

 

“I know Givhan is a strong fighter and is in great shape and coming to win. The fight is in his hometown but that’s no problem. My plan is not to leave it to the judges June 22nd can’t come soon enough!"

 

 

 

“This is a significant crossroads fight with each fighter understanding the upside of victory and the doom of defeat,” said event promoter Dmitriy Salita. I know Bakha is hungrier than ever to win this fight and make a statement to the junior welterweight division that he is ready for the best. This match has all the ingredients of a great fight.”

 

 

 

„Schilde vs. Gabriels” will feature two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and current Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champion Claressa Shields attempting to become a two-division world champion against unified 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Women’s Middleweight World Championships.

 

 

 

The main event will be televised live on SHOWTIME BOXING: SONDERAUSGABE (10 p.m. ET / PT) and will also feature highlights of Unified Women’s Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer as she defends her WBC & WBO Titles in her U.S. debut against former world champion Tori Nelson.

Below is what the fighters had to say prior to Donnerstags Wiegen:

 

Radivoje Kalajdžić

“This is my second 10-round fight and it is against another unbeaten southpaw from New York. I’m looking forward to this fight and I’m anxious to look ahead.

 

“I was very upset after my last fight [a controversial decision loss to unbeaten Marcus Browne]. I wasn’t really mad necessarily at myself or my team; it was mostly the referee. Dann, afterward when I saw the reaction from the fans, who totally booed the decision, even took their Marcus Browne T-shirts off, I didn’t feel so badly.

 

"Am Freitag I want to come in and look great and hopefully stop this guy. I want to look better and cleaner than I did against Browne. I fought OK against Browne, but I should have used my jab more and not allowed him to grab and hold me so much.

 

“I was looking too much to land my right. I know I need to do better at setting it up by jabbing first. And by punching in bunches.

“A big win Freitag won’t remove the overall sting of my last fight; nothing can erase the result. But since Browne doesn’t want to give me a rematch, I’m not going to just chase him. I have to move ahead.

 

“Against Peterkin, I want to keep it simple – jab, move and use the right hand. I need to keep him on the end of my punches. It looks like he comes at you but I’m going to come at him, zu, in a smart way. I want to try and get inside, smother him. I never got that chance against Browne because of all the holding.

 

“Peterkin is undefeated, durable and coming to win. I expect a very tough fight. But everything is going according to plan. I had about sixth months of preparation. The errors I made in my last fight have been fixed. They won’t happen again. I have an opportunity in this fight to erase all the bitter memories of my last fight.’’

 

TRAVIS Peterkin

“Making 175 pounds is OK. I can make the weight with no problem. So weight is no issue. If there was a weight class at 185, I’d probably be in it, aber doch 175 is fine. Ich bin bereit.

 

“I watched ‘Hot Rod’ closely against Browne. It was definitely a good fight. I feel Marcus could have won easily if he’d have finished the job in some of the rounds. If he stays outside he wins easily, but he wanted to make a point by going inside.

 

“Now ‘Hot Rod’ gets me, and this is a tremendous opportunity for me. He’s a good fighter and should have a zero there on his losses. He has power and is a decent counter-puncher. But we’ve prepared for him. We’re coming to win, box or brawl. This has been one of my best camps in a long time. I’m confident of a win.

 

“The key is controlling what goes on in the ring, be smart and listen to my corner. I feel this is definitely the toughest fight for me, and for him, zu.

 

“’I’m looking forward to the fight and the opportunity to make a name for myself at 175. It’s been a long journey, but if I can be myself and do what I came here to do, I’ll be fine.’’

 

Oy BARANCHYK

“This is like a second home for me, fighting in Miami. I like the people. They seem to like me. Freitag should be an exciting night for everybody.

 

“My last two fights have ended quickly but I always train and plan to go 10 Runde. I never try for one-round knockouts. I look forward to the time when I can show off a little more of my boxing and overall skills. I do have patience.

 

“I think my opponent is very good and has a lot of experience. He’s better than the last two fighters I fought. I feel this fight could go some rounds. But I have power, also werden wir sehen.

 

“I work very hard in the gym. I spar 10 rounds every day. I got to spar a few rounds with Danny Garcia for this fight. Training with a world champion like him was a tremendous learning experience and it helped me a lot. I hope some of it shows am Freitag.''

 

WANG ZHIMIN

“I want to thank everyone for this chance to fight. Ich bin auf alles vorbereitet. My opponent is a very experienced boxer with a good reputation. This is definitely a step up and my biggest fight.

 

“I can promise you one thing: We’ll put on an exciting show for you.

 

“My goal is to ultimately be fighting for a world title. It takes a lot of time, patience and work inside the gym.

 

“I’m known for my aggressiveness but I’m constantly working on boxing more. I feel I’ve improved a lot since I was an amateur.

 

“So I’m ready for this fight. He may be a big puncher but I don’t look at his numbers. This is a solid matchup, a crossroads fight and a good opportunity for both of us.’’

 

TREY LIPPE MORRISON

“This is a real, significant step up for me but I have to approach it like I always do.

 

“Moving to Hollywood [Calif.] was a big change for me, but it meant I could train with Freddie Roach. He boosted my confidence just by the fact he agreed to take me on. So he must have seen something.

 

“There are so many things we work on: Ring Feldherrnkunst, Beinarbeit, things to look for, stuff to avoid.

 

“This is a tough fight for both of us, a dangerous test. Latimore is definitely my toughest opponent so far.

 

“I know a lot of people are interested in watching me and seeing how I do because of my dad. But as I go on, they’ll see I’m my own person.

 

“Fighting here again at the Buffalo Run is always exciting but a ring is a ring; there is no home field advantage. I certainly appreciate the fans’ support but I can’t think about it.

 

“One of these days I’ll fight someone who can take my shots. It might be Latimore, but if it happens, Ich werde bereit sein. As for me taking a shot, I’ve been rocked in sparring but not in a live fight.

 

“Hurting my right hand in my last fight was a real blessing. I knew I always had power in it but now I have speed and accuracy to go along with it. My hand hasn’t given me any problems at all in training. So I don’t think about it. If I hurt it again, I’ll just deal with it and fight on.’’

Freddie Roach, Morrison’s Trainer

“I was supposed to be in the Philippines, but I’m very close with Manny Pacquiao and I told him, ‘Listen, Manny, I’m going to be a week late because I have a big fight with Trey coming up,’ and he said, ‘I’ll see you in a week. Get the win.’

“We are a 100 Prozent bereit. We have great sparring partners. We’ve done great work and I know he’s coming from a broken hand and he hasn’t fought in a while, but his strengthening and conditioning is going really well. This is going to be a great fight and I expect him to be at his best. [Looking at Ed Latimore] You are going to feel his power.

“Trey has very good power and breaking his hand helped him. We got to develop both hands and now he has knockout power in both hands.

“Ed Latimore is a very difficult opponent, but I think Trey will beat him.’

ED LATIMORE

“My whole goal is to be totally calm, relaxed and in control. It’s not a physical or mental thing.

 

“I feel I’ve come a long way and I’m improving all the time. There were times when I was overthinking in the ring, but no more. I work on technique each and every day; my work ethic is impeccable.

 

“I’ve become such a better student of boxing. When I first started watching, I thought it was boring. Then I learned how to watch, and began to notice the subtle things going on. I now know what I’m looking at when I watch films and I see things totally different than I did before. Now I know what to do with what I learn.

 

“I may be small for a heavyweight but I’m never going to be one of those big guys so I do not put a lot of emphasis on size. If you can fight, you can fight. I work on developing skills. Punching power comes from technique and repetition, not always from size.

 

“I’m looking forward to a good fight. I have to stay composed. Morrison likes to come right out at you but I’m not planning to just let him come at me like he did his other opponents. I have something I plan to do that will give him something to think about.

 

“Fighting him is huge for me. His name means a lot. He’s the toughest guy I’ve fought. But I don’t think about my emotions and fighting in his hometown. We knew what we were getting into and there’s nothing we can do about it. There are things that are beyond your control.

 

“I’m still in school, majoring in physics, but I took a semester off. Dann, this opportunity came along. No way I could do both right now. I enjoy how far I’ve come in boxing. I think the hard work is paying off.

 

“I’m confident I’ll win Freitag. It’s going to be a great.’’

IVAN GOLUB

“I’ve been working mainly on my inside game and setting down on my punches lately. I know Stevenson is a good boxer, a slick guy who knows what do to. I have to try and stay patient, work the jab, work the body and put on pressure.

 

“In the amateurs it was more about points. Winning was OK with points but in the U.S. you need more than that.

 

“My mindset going into every fight is on going the distance. I’m looking forward to fighting Stevenson. Besides his boxing ability, he takes a good shot.

 

“This will be a real test for me, my toughest test. I’m a natural 160 but can make welterweight easily. It’s been a good camp for me.’’

 

JAMES STEVENSON

“I think my opponent is probably taking me lightly. But he’s going to see a different me. I’m looking at this as a must-win, can-win fight. The birth of my daughter recently totally woke me up. It made me realize it was time to straighten up, stop running the streets and totally focus on my job. I have to take care of her. The added responsibility made me change my ways.

 

“So this training camp has been totally different than any I’ve had before. I’m really prepared. I didn’t come here to run, Ich komme, um zu gewinnen. I’m certainly not here to be anyone’s opponent.

 

“It’s been crazy in my hometown. The whole city of Baltimore is behind me, and that is very exciting. Freitagis the most important fight ever for me and I am looking forward to it.

 

“I’m confident I can be the first to defeat Golub.’’

GORDON HALL, Senior Vice President of Production, Showtime Sports & Ausführender Produzent,ShoBox: Die neue Generation

"Morgen night we have eight fighters with a total combined record of 114-3-1. We have undefeated fighters facing each other. Wir hatten 151 fighters fight on ShoBox, and lose that 0. Morgen Nacht, on the second matchup of the night, we have two undefeated heavyweights. Trey Lippe Morrison’s father may have been Tommy, but we are not here because he’s Tommy’s son. We are here because we believe that Trey Lippe Morrison can fight and he’s taking a big step up in taking on Ed Latimore. It’s a big fight for both fighters and I credit them for taking the matchup.

 

“Ivan Golub had 300 Amateur-Kämpfe. He’s an accomplished fighter, we had him once before on ShoBox and he’s taking on James Stevenson, a veteran fighter, who’s not coming here to lose.

 

“Ivan Baranchyk, the adopted son of Buffalo Run Casino here in Miami. He’s one of the fighters you want to pay to see. He’s all action. His skill level is A-plus and Wang Zhimin knows that and he’s not afraid.

 

“The main event, Rod Kalajdzic vs. Travis Peterkin is the one to watch out for. Kalajdzic loss on his record against Marcus Browne is debatable to those who saw the fight. Travis Peterkin is undefeated, so for me this is a fight of two undefeated fighters in the light heavyweight division, which has Adonis Stevenson, Andre Ward, Sergey Kovalev. It’s a hot division and looking for new blood and hopefully we’ll see it heremorgen Nacht. "
