Här är vad deltagarna hade att säga onsdag:
KEITH THURMAN
Muhammad Ali opened up the door for so many people. Michael Jordan changed the game in our era, but Ali did it so long ago. He showed people that boxing is a great sport and can be the most entertaining sport in the world.
“För mig, it’s almost like a dream come true. It’s surreal. I remember at an early age in boxing saying, ‘I want to be the guy that brings boxing back.I’m really blessed to be where I am in my career. For all the fighters who could end up on this stage, I’m proud that I’ve been chosen.
I’ve always considered myself a knockout artist. Back to when I was a teenager knocking out grown men in headgear. Ever since then, I’ve been dropping people like a bad habit.
I love being a power-puncher. My favorite fighter of all time is Mike Tyson. One of my goals that I set when I was a kid was to have more knockouts than Mike Tyson throughout my career.
I’m ready for Shawn Porter. We’re going to box harder, box stronger and box better. I will be the better man.
Training is the fundamentals of getting one prepared. We’ve always known that Shawn Porter was going to come into this fight in tremendous shape. That’s what his training methods are all about. But the Energizer Bunny has never been hit by Keith Thurman, and I’m pretty sure I could stop it in its tracks.
“Jag går för knockout. I’ve stated it before. My hands are itching for a knockout. I’m ‘One Time,’ alltid. That’s my philosophy. Every single time I step into the ring I’m looking for the knockout. We don’t get paid for overtime.
This is an opportunity to showcase our talents and our skills to the world. The winner will have an opportunity to be the head guy in the sport. I’ve always wanted to have a legacy in the sport of boxing.
I want to be the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. That’s my ultimate goal. There have only been so many in the history of boxing. I want to be a part of that history.
DAN BIRMINGHAM, Thurman’s Trainer
Keith is a guy who deserves to be on this stage. He has a lot of experience and he’s come into his own. This is the kind of thing that happens when you work hard.
Life happens. Keith was involved in the accident and so we took the necessary rest. He saw the right doctors and we’re back now. We’re ready for Shawn Porter.
We’re constantly conditioning. We’re working on attacking his style. He’s a short, come-forward brawler who’s going to try to come into Keith’s chest and make it a war. We’re making out adjustments.
Keith has to be busier, more in charge fighter. He has to work off of his jab and then his power will keep Porter at bay.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Juni 2, 2016) – Keith Thurman, the reigning WBA Welterweight World Champion, is four weeks out from his Juni 25 title defense against Shawn Porter and has his 20-year career in boxing on his mind heading into the crucial showdown.
Thurman will be headlining on CBS live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn with televised coverage starting at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST. Biljetter kan köpas på nätet genom att besöka
www.ticketmaster.com, www.barclayscenter.com eller genom att ringa 1-800-745-3000. Biljetter finns också på American Express Box Office på Barclays Center. Grupprabatter finns genom att ringa 844-BKLYN-GP.
It’s been an amazing journey and no one predicted this better than my first coach Ben Getty,” said 27-year-old Thurman. “It puts me in a state of gratitude for Ben. He told everyone I’d be world champ, and here I am, defending my title against Shawn Porter. I am just starting to see what Ben Getty saw in me and the mark that I can make in boxing.
Thurman isn’t the only one celebrating a boxing anniversaryhis trainer of 13 years and Florida Hall of Fame elected boxing trainer Dan Birmingham, who trained former champion Winky Wright, has been in the sport for 50 år, and assistant trainer Chris Getty has grown up with Thurman in the sport through his father Ben Getty. The fight also is the first primetime fight on CBS in almost 40 years since the Muhammad Ali vs. Leon Spinks from Las Vegas.
Nu, 20 years after Ben Getty introduced Thurman to boxing as part of an after school program, he is one of the strongest power punchers in the division, with an excellent knockout rate of 80%. His focus, emellertid, is on making boxing history.
My goal is to be known as the hardest hitting welterweight in the division,” Said Thurman. “This camp, if anything, I feel more comfortable. I’m fully recovered, sparring, träning. I’ve been throwing power punches for what seems like forever and it’s a little weird. I can’t help but think about how this is my 20th year in boxing and knowing the longevity I’ve had. It’s given me a new confidence. “
For Birmingham, this training camp has been a re-commitment to the strategic and conditioning process the team has gone through for each fight for the past 13 år.
Training is going real well,” said Birmingham. “We know Porter is a come-forward fighterhe is going to try to be on Keith’s chest. I want Keith to box, use his power, use his jab, and use his feints to work the body from the inside. All the things Keith knows how to do. Porter is not a real technical fighter so we’re working on using that to our advantage.
Birmingham on sparring:
We’ve been doing great sparring workwe have some tough, tough kids in camp. We’ve been boosting aerobic capacity, and those kids are keeping on Keith. He’s going to be in great shape for this fight. We’re excited for this fight. “
What does Team “One Time” anticipate?
Birmingham:
We know that Porter is going to bring it so we’re working extra hard on aerobics and being fit for this fight. Keith’s doing a lot of running, hjärt, uthållighet; we expect a tough fight and we’ll be prepared for this fight. We expect a victory
What can fans expect on Juni 25?
Thurman:Hopefully a knock out! I’m coming to bring it. Shawn is coming to bring it. Det kommer att bli en stor kamp. We are two of the top welterweights in the division. Two of the youngest and strongest welterweights in the sport going toe-to- toe.
What is your goal for this fight?
Thurman: My goal is to be known as the hardest hitting welterweight in the division. My lifelong goal is to be the undisputed welterweight champion of the worldand I have a ways to go in unifying the titles. Once I move past Shawn I look forward to the challenge of making my dreams come true. I’m blessed to be where I am today.
The Welterweight division is one of the hottest divisions in boxing, what do you think of a Super 6 tournament in the division?
Thurman: I’m for it. In the 147-pound division it’s time to unify a title. Someone at 147 should have more than one belt and that’s my goal that before end of the year to have more than one belt.
One of the sports more enigmatic athletes, Thurman is known for having a varied list of interests and hobbies setting him apart from other fighters, including playing the flute, piano and guitar, books (The Secret Life of Plants to Bhagavad Gita the Little Buddhist Handbook) and music (Ziggy Marley to Tupac). It is his uniqueness that helps him be an easy fan-favorite.
Greatest advice I’ve been given is just to be Keith Thurmanjust be me,” Said Thurman. “I’m looking forward to stepping on this scale, not over talking and just going in and getting the knock out.

MIAMI, Okla. (Mars 26, 2016) – On a night of knockouts, unbeaten super lightweight Regis "Rougarou" PROGRAM (17-0, 14 Kos), av Houston, scored his third consecutive dominant victory on ShoBox: Den nya generationen, knocking out Mexico’s Aaron Herrera (21-5-1, 12 Kos) vid 2:17 av den första omgången Fredag i Main Event påShowtime från Buffalo Run Casino i Miami, Okla.

 

In scheduled eight-round bouts that all ended early, Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (10-0, 9 Kos), av Brooklyn, N.Y., registered a 21-second, första omgången knockout över Nick Givhan (16-1-1, 10 Kos), av Kalamazoo, Mich., in a super lightweight scrap, Ukrainian welterweight Ivan "Den Volk" Golub (16-0, 10 Kos, 5-0 i World Series of Boxing), av Brooklyn, N.Y., scored a sixth-round TKO over marlon Aguas (9-1, 6 Kos), Quito, Ecuador, och Justin DeLoach (14-1, 8 Kos), of Augusta, Ga., who is trained by former world champion Paul Williams, registered a fourth-round knockout over undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon “White Lightning” Cook (16-1, 6 Kos).

 

All but Prograis and Baranchyk were making their ShoBox debuterar. Cook, Aguas and Givhan became the 143rd, 144th och 145th boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

 

“I can’t remember i 15 år of working ShoBox a show with such emphatic knockouts – and two of them being spectacular knockout of the year candidates,'' Sa ShoBox expert analytiker Steve Farhood.

 

PROGRAM, 5-fot-9, 27-year-old originally from New Orleans, was fighting in his second consecutive ShoBox main event and second scheduled 10-rounder. The aggressive-minded southpaw pounded Herrera’s body from the opening bell; five of his six power punches were targeted to the Mexican’s midsection. A left hook to the body downed Herrera, who crumpled to the canvas and wasn’t able to beat the count.

“I was prepared to go 10 fulla rundor, the last thing I was expecting was a first-round knockout,’’ said Prograis, who was making his 2016 debut. “I’m making hard fights look easy but they’re really not. It’s all the daily work in the gym all day every day that is paying off for me. Tonight was fun. I’m very satisfied.

“I want all the fighters in my division to know one thing: I’m coming after all of you.’’

“He just got me with a great shot, it was simple as that,’’ said Herrera, who making his second start in the United States. “There’s really not that much that I can say.’’

 

The highly regarded Baranchyk – making his second eight-round start and second in a row on ShoBox – knocked out Givhan with a huge left hand with the first power punch of the fight. He required only two punches to finish the 17-fight veteran. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the quickest professional KO for the Belarus native. Baranchyk owns a three-second KO over Angel Figueroa från 2015.

 

“I’m very happy,’’ Baranchyk said. “I was expecting a much longer fight. I was focused on a full fight. But knockouts are good. I know fans like knockouts.

 

“I’ll take a week off and then go back to the drawing board. I’m looking ahead to fighting again soon and on ShoBox again.’’

 

Givhan was shocked with the result.

 

I’m good but I am very, very disappointed,” Givhan said. “This is the lowlight of my life. For me to get knocked out by someone I know I can beat is just the worst feeling. And there’s nothing worse than for it to happen on national television.

 

No one expects 20-second fights. Jag fastnade, det är allt.”

Golub, a former standout amateur from Ukraine, had to rally from the first knockdown of his career. “This was a little tougher than I expected,'' Sade han. “But it’s all about learning. I had to go through some adversity to win. You don’t know adversity until it hits you in the face.”

Golub was the more active fighter against the awkward Aguas, who was at his best when matters turned ugly. In a bizarre second round, southpaw Golub scored a questionable knockdown as Aguas hit the canvas while clinching and off-balance. Aguas bounced back seconds later to knock down Golub with a short right, sending the Ukrainian to the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I was surprised that I got knocked down, but he caught me off-balance,’’ Golub said. “Overall, I am very happy with my performance.”

Golub resumed control after the second and a series of combinations in the sixth sent a gassed Aguas falling back through the ropes in the closing seconds of the round. Aguas somehow rose to his feet to beat the count, but his trainer quickly waved off the bout when the Ecuadorian returned to the corner.

Aguas said an injury, not fatigue, was the reason his corner stopped the fight at the end of the sixth. “I hurt my right bicep in the fifth round,'' Sade han. “That’s the reason we stopped it. I wasn’t that tired.”

I öppnings slagsmål av telecast, DeLoach made Williams a winner in his training debut. With Williams looking on from his wheelchair in the corner, DeLoach, a winner of four in a row, dropped Cook with a devastating, counter-overhand right at 2:47 of the fourth that sent Cook awkwardly to the canvas in a knockout of the year candidate.

 

“I’m happy with my performance,’’ said DeLoach, who was the more active fighter, kasta nästan 100 more punches over the four rounds. “This was a great experience fighting a guy like this in his backyard. I enjoyed the crowd and their enthusiasm. It motivated me. I got a little lazy in parts of the second and third rounds, but I listened to my corner and picked it up on offense and got my punch count up and going again.

 

“Dillon was a good fighter who moved a lot. I know I have to do better cutting off the ring. He landed with a left a second before I landed that big right. This was a great win for all of us. I’m ready to do this again.’’

 

“Look at me, look at my shirt. It feels like I was sweating worse than when I fought,’’ said Williams, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012. “I am very relieved to get this one out of the way. I’m very happy for Justin and Mr. Pete (Paul’s longtime manager and trainer and DeLoach’s assistant trainer, George Williams)

 

"Jag är OK, all things considered,’’ said Cook. “He was a tough guy. I’ve never been knocked out before so I don’t exactly know how to act. I felt I was in the fight until I was caught. It’s disappointing, but this was a great learning experience for me. It can only help me in the long run.’’

 

A taped interview with Williams and ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood aired prior to the bout. In the discussion, Farhood asked the former two-time champ why he chose to return as a trainer for the first time since the 2012 motorcycle accident left him paralyzed.

REGIS PROGRAIS

 

"Detta är min största kampen. Vi har varit på gymmet i två månader att få klar. Vi sparring med varje stil, något som krävs för att få mig redo.

"Jag hade en hel del kul i min sista match på grund (Abel) Ramos bara hålls kommer. Jag kämpar en veteran, a different kind of guy tomorrow. He’s tough with the Mexican style so I expect him to be smart and know all the tricks.

 

"Herrera kommer med inget att förlora, men jag älskar att slåss den mexikanska stil. Jag har tränat i Houston, så han kommer inte att ge något jag inte har sett förut.

 

"Jag kan vara en smart southpaw eller jag kan bråk. Jag bara älskar att slåss, vilket är anledningen till att jag startade i boxning. Min tänkesätt är att bang och kamp, när det kommer till kritan. Ibland om jag inte träffar jag uttråkad så jag blanda upp det lite mer så jag kommer att få träffa och då kan jag komma tillbaka. Jag kan anpassa sig till någon stil.

 

"Detta är min tredje kamp på ShoBox och andra main event. Jag välkomnar tryck men samtidigt vet jag att jag måste ignorera det och bara njuta och ha roligt i det.

 

"Mentalt, Jag känner att jag är redo för en större kamp mot någon av de bästa utmanare, men jag vet de typer av slagsmål är fortfarande lite ner linjen för mig. Jag har fortfarande en hel del arbete att göra; Jag måste hålla tjat det tills jag får det bra.

 

"Jag ser fram emot en bra kamp i morgon. ''

 

AARON HERRERA

 

"Detta är en intressant kamp eftersom vi båda kommer upp i sporten. Jag har sett några av hans matcher och vet vad jag upp mot. Det ser ut som Prograis gillar att komma fram och kommer att kämpa, och jag kommer att göra detsamma, även om jag förmodligen mer av en boxare än en slugger.

 

"Det handlar om att ta hand om verksamheten. Jag har varit 12 rundor innan. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Detta är bara min andra kamp i Amerika men jag lärde mig en hel del från den första och det kommer definitivt att hjälpa mig. Jag har mer förtroende. Detta kommer inte att bli en ny upplevelse för mig.

NICK GIVHAN

"Detta är en stor möjlighet och jag känner mig välsignad att få det, men det är något jag har arbetat för år. Jag anser att detta är där jag ska vara i detta skede av min karriär. Jag behöver bara få i ringen för att se till att jag hantera min verksamhet i ringen

"Detta formar upp som en boxare kontra hålslag kamp som gynnar mig. Han kan komma ut jabbing vid första, men när han rörde han kan vara frustrerad. Det är vad jag kommer att dra nytta av, hans över aggressivitet.

 

"Jag ser fram emot att ta vara på tillfället i morgon kväll. ''

 

IVAN Golub

 

"Jag är mycket glad över att vara på detta kort och ser fram emot att kämpa på min första ShoBox kort. Detta är ett stort steg upp och det kommer att bli en stor kamp.

 

"När jag fick chansen att kämpa på ShoBox, Jag visste inte ens fråga vem jag kämpade. Jag spar med några av de bästa ute (Ievgen Khytrov,Sergey Derevanchenko, etc.). Men jag är mer av en boxare lagare än några av mina lagkamrater.

A member of Holden Productions“Four State Franchise”, the popular Cook is from nearby Seneca, MO and fought in front of sellout crowds on multiple occasions. While these are definite advantages for Cook, DeLoach comes into the ring with an impressive background.

 

Against DeLoach, 13-1 (7 KO: s), Cook is taking a significant step up in competition and will do so before a national audience. Hailing from Augusta, GA and based in Houston, TX, DeLoach trained alongside top fighters including IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo, undefeated Jermell Charlo, Bryan Vera and Edwin Rodriguez amongst others.

“I’m excited for the fight but trying not to let the pressure of fighting on TV get to me,” said Cook, a former National Junior Golden Gloves titlist and six time Kansas City Golden Gloves winner. "(To specifically prepare for DeLoach) we’re working on (technique to counter) his style. DeLoach is a good fighter I’ve seen him fight a few times he’s fast and a busy fighter but I’m pretty fast myself. I expect to match his speed, if not beat it.”

 

Cook also acknowledges his advantages and never second guessed taking the step up in competition.

 

“I’m a smart fighter and can adapt well (plus) hometown crowd is definitely a benefit. I knew we’d step (up the competition in the near future) and this is a great time for it. I’ve had 16 professional fights and am ready to show the world that I’m capable of going to the next level.”

 

Cook’s promoter, Tony Holden, is confident in his fighter and believes the locals will come out droves to support him.

 

“I’m proud to see him get a shot on a national stage. He’s a key part of the “Four State Franchise” and is a big crowd draw. He’s worked very hard and I expect him to put forth a tremendous performance. I’d like to personally thank Showtime as well for this incredible opportunity.”

PAUL WILLIAMS RETURNS TO BOXING AS A TRAINER

FORMER WORLD CHAMPION TO TRAIN PROSPECT JUSTIN DELOACH

IN FOURTH FIGHT ADDED TO FREDAG, MARS 25,

SHOBOX: DEN NYA GENERATIONEN TV-SÄNDA

“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight.” – Paul Williams

 

Super Welterweight DeLoach Takes on Undefeated Local Favorite Dillon Cook;

Promising Meets Aaron Herrera in Main Event;

Live på SHOWTIME® Vid 10:30 p.m. OCH/PT

NEW YORK (Mars 15, 2016) – Former two-time world champion Paul Williams, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012, is back in boxing as a trainer.

 

The popular Williams will work the corner of once-beaten Justin DeLoach (13-1, 7 Kos) when DeLoach faces undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon Cook (16-0, 6 Kos) in the opening eight-round bout of what is now a ShoBox: Den nya generationen quadrupleheader på Fredag, Mars 25, leva påShowtime (10:30 p.m. OCH/PT, fördröjd på västkusten) från Buffalo Run Casino i Miami, Okla.

 

DeLoach is the first boxer to be trained by Williams, the former 154-pound southpaw who has been confined to a wheelchair since the accident.

“I guess I was being selfish at first,” Williams said. “I didn’t want to deal with the fight game. I wanted to be the one fighting. But that changed.”

 

Williams was reluctant to train fighters for a long time. Det varGeorge Peterson, who managed and trained Williams from the time the boxer was a skinny kid with little amateur experience until his career ended, that helped persuade “The Punisher” to return to the ring. Williams trains his pupil at a private gym in his hometown of Aiken, S.C.

 

“You know me, I really didn’t want to do this,’’ Williams said. “But finally after three or four years of George practically begging me to try and do it, this opportunity came along and I decided to give it a shot.

 

“Everything is about timing. I started thinking about it, George kept asking me and messing with me about it, one thing led to another, and I finally said I’d take a stab at it.
Williams, who is enjoying his new job description, admits there are some pre-fight jitters.

 

“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight. Nu, I have to think about everything that Mr. Pete was thinking about when I was fighting. I have to try and teach Justin what I knew how to do.

 

“George and I accomplished a lot. He made me a world champion; before that, no one knew who he or I was. We were just a couple of guys from Aiken, S.C. We gave fans fights to remember.

 

“I was the fighter the press labeled as ‘Most feared in boxing.’ But that’s over for me now. I’m jumping into a whole new thing. It’s been an adjustment but I’m glad I’m doing it.’’

 

In his role as a trainer, Williams’ mindset has changed drastically from his fighting days. “Look, I always feel good,'' Sade han. “What’s happened has happened. Det är vad det är. This is my first time stepping back into the world. Jag älskar boxning.

 

“What I don’t want to see is a fighter getting hurt. This is a hard sport. I know when I was in there I was always going for broke. But I want Justin, all fighters actually, to come out of the ring the same way they came in. Vinna eller förlora, I don’t want to see anybody get hurt.’’

 

On DeLoach, Williams sade, “He’s a good fighter and now he’s in the spotlight. I want to do my best in the training world to get him at his peak. I hope he does his best. I’d love to one-up George with Justin.’’

 

Becoming the best takes strenuous work on a daily basis, and Williams was no stranger to putting in the hours.

 

“I never took a shortcut,'' Sade han. “You take shortcuts, you know what’ll happen. I took the long road home when I was fighting and fans, fighters, everybody knew what to expect when I stepped in the ring.

 

“Justin isn’t like this, but one thing I know is that fighters think they’re slick. Bra, you can’t pull anything over me. Jag har varit där, seen it all.’’

 

Och, som alltid, he’ll have George Peterson by his side.

 

“I’m just helping Paul,’’ said Peterson, who will serve as Williams’ assistant trainer. “So far, he’s doing great.”

 

It will be the ShoBox och 2016 debuterar — and toughest fight to datefor both DeLoach and Cook.

 

DeLoach was a top amateur, competing in the USA Boxing National Championships in 2012. He won a National Silver Golden Gloves title when he was 13.

 

The 22-year-old DeLoach, of Augusta, Ga., has won three in a row since suffering his lone loss to Cesar Villa den feb. 6, 2015. That was before he started training with Williams.

 

“This has been a total blessing, and I say that every day,” DeLoach said. “Thank God. He’s the one who brought the two of us together, that’s the main thing. Paul loves it, just to be back. I think he was scared at first, his reputation was at stake and so was mine.

 

“But he’s been so helpful – just in the mental side of things. I was already a good boxer but he’s taken me to another level mentally. He’s been pushing me, criticizing me, giving me instructions and picking my brain.”

 

DeLoach and Williams grew up just 30 minutes down the road from each other.

 

“Me and Paul, we’ve known each other our whole lives,’’ DeLoach said. “I’m from Augusta, Ga., and he was right across in Aiken. We knew each other when I was coming up as an amateur. He came to my last pro fight that was in San Antonio. When I saw him, I got so excited. We started to talk and I said something like, "Hey, Paul, wouldn’t it be cool if we got together?'

 

“Once I came home, we started working together and he’s been training me since. I think we’re going on about three months now. It’s an unbelievable feeling to be able to work with one of my favorite fighters.”

 

I sin sista utflykt, DeLoach won a shutout four-round decision overSantos Benavides sista December. 12. DeLoach, a pro since March 2013, fought six times that year and four times each in 2014 och 2015.

 

“I’m really looking forward to fighting for the first time for him,” DeLoach said. “I’ve gone crazy waiting for my break and an opportunity like this to fight on SHOWTIME. I know it’s not easy fighting in your opponent’s backyard, but with Paul, George Peterson and me and my skills, we are confident it will be a good fight.’’

 

Cook, 25, is from Seneca, Mo., which is located about 20 minutes from Buffalo Run Casino where he has fought six times. A top amateur, he won six Golden Gloves titles, a Junior Golden Gloves National title, a Heartland title and four regional Silver Gloves titles. He is popular at Buffalo Run and will be making his premium network television debut against easily his most dangerous assignment as a pro. Cook’s brother, Jesse, a welterweight with a record of 15-1-1, will box on the non-televised portion of the event.

 

Dillon Cook turned pro in August 2012, fought twice that year, seven times in 2013, four times in 2014 and three times last year. Five of his last seven took place at Buffalo Run, including two out of three in 2015. He’s coming off a lopsided eight-round decision overRahman Yusubov sista November. 14.

 

“I couldn’t be more excited about making my ShoBox debut, right at home, at the Buffalo Run Casino,” Cook said. “This is a huge opportunity for me, and I plan on putting on a spectacular showing, for all my fans there that night and everyone watching on TV.”

 

I ShoBox main event, unbeaten super lightweight knockout artist and emerging rising star, Regis "Rougarou" PROGRAM (16-0, 13 Kos), Houston by way of New Orleans, will meet experienced Aaron "The Jewel" Herrera (29-4-1, 18 Kos), of Valladolid, Mexiko, in a 10-round match.

Med förlusten - och tidigare resultat i quadrupleheader - Ramos blev 139thfighter att lida sin första förlust på utsikten utvecklings serien.

 

Prograis was the more aggressive and effective fighter from the outset. Han landade 53 procent av hans makt skott jämfört med bara 28 procent för Ramos medan kasta mer än 250 fler totala stansar.

 

Ramos (14-1-2, 9 Kos) simply couldn’t deal with Prograis’ speed and movement. At the finish, Han var en blodig mess från ett snitt kring hans vänstra öga och ett jack på toppen av huvudet och hade inget svar för angrepp av slag från sin obesegrad motståndare.

 

"Det var en otrolig kamp,” Prograis said. “It was really, verkligen tufft och jag trodde inte att jag skulle stoppa honom, but I did. We stuck to the game plan and I am happy.

 

“He was really messed up. I don’t like to talk bad about my opponents, men jag definitivt skada honom och tror att kanske de bör har slutat det tidigare. Du vill aldrig såra någon så illa där det kan påverka dem i det långa loppet. "

 

Efter kampen, Ramos klagade över att han inte var densamma efter oavsiktlig huvudet rumpa i femte som öppnade forsande snitt på toppen av huvudet.

 

Sen ersättning Dardan Zenunaj handed tidigare obesegrad lättvikts utsikter Bryant Cruz den första förlusten av sin karriär efter Cruz 'tränare Ronnie called an end to the fight after the seventh round. Zenunaj was ahead 67-64 på de tre domarnas poängkort efter den sjunde.

 

Cruz var mer aktiva fighter, kasta 754 stansar genom sju omgångar jämfört med bara 555 för Zenunaj, men det var tydligt att Zenunaj landade de mer kraftfulla skott.

 

Zenunaj (11-1, 9 Kos) knocked Cruz down midway through the fourth with a wide left hook. Cruz survived the round, but continued to eat a series of big shots to close the round. Cruz bounced back but couldn’t keep Zenunaj from picking his shots and landing damaging power punches.

"Jag ville att det skulle vara ett krig för alla de människor som tittar på och jag gjorde det, så jag känner riktigt bra,” Zenunaj said. “He is really good, much stronger than I believed he would be. He hung in there, men jag gjorde jobbet och jag vann.

 

"Idag var min första match i US. och det kommer inte att bli den sista. Nästa år kommer att bli ett stort år för mig. "

 

Efter kampen, Cruz gjorde inte några ursäkter för klena.

 

“I came in really confident that I was going to win. I had almost seven weeks of training and this guy took the fight on a week’s notice.

 

"Jag kom att tänka att jag skulle vinna, men det gick inte min väg. He was a tough opponent. He came forward and hit me with some really awkward shots. He’s an awkward fighter and he hit me with different angles I hadn’t seen before. Han fångade mig på sängen, men det är så att boxning är så jag kan inte riktigt vara alltför upprörd med mig av denna förlust. Jag kommer tillbaka starkare.

 

“I did everything I could and gave it my all. I tried to listen to the punch list from my coach, men han bara ut-släpade mig och jag ger honom all respekt för det. "

 

I en matchup av mellanvikt utsikter, Steve Rolls gjorde en imponerande fjärde omgången TKO över tidigare obesegrade Steed Woodall. VIDEO MARKERA:http://s.sho.com/1O1bf7g

Rullar (13-0, 7 Kos) kom tillbaka med besked i den fjärde, landing nearly a dozen big right hands. With Woodall wobbling around the ring with his guard down, domaren Laurence Cole ingrep för att stoppa tävlingen på 2:46 av rundan.

 

"Jag var beredd att göra vad jag kom hit för att göra,"Sade Rolls, som landade 41 procent av hans makt skott. “I didn’t agree with the knockdown, men det är den typ av boxning. Sånt som kommer att hända och du behöver bara plocka upp dig, samla dig själv och kämpa på.

 

"Jag kommer att vila lite och egentligen bara dra in den och koppla av."

 

Woodall (8-1-1, 5 Kos) klagade över att stoppet var för tidigt.

 

"Jag har inte håller med stoppet,” Woodall said. “I was caught on my ear so that threw off my balance a little bit, but I was totally fine. I’m wise enough to take a knee if I wasn’t able to continue, but that wasn’t the case. I definitely feel that was a premature stoppage but I’m not a sore loser.

 

"Nu är det tillbaka till ritbordet. I need to sit down with my manager and get back to training camp. I know it’s soon to say this after the fact, but I’ll definitely be looking for the rematch at some point. Men, för nu, Det är tillbaka till ritbordet. "
