Вот почему я начал ходить в тело. Я собирался получить чистый выстрел в одном раунде, и она собиралась идти, но арбитр остановил его в четвертом. Вырезанное нокаут. Это было захватывающе.

«Я рад, что все пришли. Я воспользовался этой прекрасной возможностью еще раз. Это еще один шаг к победе титул чемпиона мира «.

“Я думал, что это был рукопашный бой, но я пришел на сильный в конце,»Сказал Потапов. «У меня было больше, и закончил сильнее. Это сделало разницу. Я гораздо более агрессивен, и я сажусь на моих выстрелов. Это разница обучение в Кронке сделало для меня.

“Я знал, что я выиграл бой. Я не был удивлен, когда я получил его. Я не был доволен судейством в моем последнем большом бое, но я думал, что на этот раз я сделал больше, чем достаточно, чтобы выиграть «.

Я заставляла его пропустить и посадки все более резкие удары. Все, что он бил меня, я блокировал и возвращаться.

“Я не знаю, почему близкие бои не отходят. Отсюда я возвращаюсь к чертежной доске. Вся моя команда и много толпы чувствовали, что я выиграл. Я хотел бы снова бороться с ним «.

“Я был очень расстроен там, но я действие своего рода истребителей, поэтому, когда он был запущен его вид был писает меня. Он был повсюду. Он провел весь бой «.

Я знал, что я собирался получить его. Подушка только мой товарный знак. Ничего личного. Вы должны выделяться каким-то образом. Это именно то, что я делаю. Ничего личного к нему.

«Я знал, что я пришел, чтобы сделать. Я взволнован, но я не в шоке. Моя команда знала, что произойдет, и они были уверены во мне. Я знал, что это был только вопрос времени «.

“Coming out of Cleveland, nobody gives us a chance. We have to fight for everything we get.

 

“I respect Potapov. Он хороший боец. He said he’s going to take my belt? He’s going to have to take it from me. Я здесь, чтобы сражаться. I’m not going to just give it up. Come try and take it.

 

“When I get in there Friday, это все дело. I respect him – I don’t have any problems with him as a person.

Гордон Смит Джеймс:

“I’m knocking you out. I’m not here to play games. I’m coming straight for you. I bet you I knock you out.

 

“You can’t punch. What are you going to do?

 

“I’m coming to throw bombs, so I hope you trained for this because I’m going to knock that smile off your face. Your coach can’t fight for you.”

 

Джошуа Грир, Младший:

"Я готов. Вас нокаутируют. We didn’t come here to lose.

Everything went well in training. Potapov is a solid fighter but I believe giving him some movement and coming in from the side is really going to help me get the victory in this fight. Я 100 процентов готов. I’ve been focused on one guy the entire camp and I’m ready to get in there and get the win.
We tried to get sparring partners that imitate him as much as possible, so when I get in there with him, there’s no surprises, but basically, I’m just going to stick to what I know.
A victory means a lot. We’re two undefeated fighters on the verge of a world title shot. A victory over this guy would put me to the stage of being in line to fight for a world title, so this win means a lot.
Николай Потапов
I had a great training camp in Detroit at Kronk gym with Javan SugarHill Steward. It’s been a great learning experience for me. Обучение, intensity, спарринг, living conditions have been superb.
This is the most important fight of my career. Antonio Nieves is a very skilled, high-level fighter. I am focused on making a statement on Март 10, and showing that I am one of the best bantamweights in the world.

Ниже то, что бойцы должны были сказать,:

Claressa Shields:

“I made history in the amateurs, so it’s very special to me to be making history in the pros too and also doing it so close to home in Detroit.

“For this fight, I did more road work and also worked hard on my fundamentals. With my coach, Jason Crutchfield, in my corner he knows my weaknesses and strong points, so we are strengthening all weaknesses.

“I know that Szabados has a lot of body endurance and a ‘no quit’ mindset in the ring. She has a lot more professional experience than me and is a huge step up for me, as it is only my second professional fight.

“With my reputation and name steady rising and me getting a lot of notoriety, I have really just been handling it by taking a few deep breaths and just not allowing myself to get too excited. When I think about Март 10, I just wanna jump up and down!

“When I was an amateur, I followed women’s professional boxing the best I could. I thought a lot of women weren’t given equal opportunity. I told myself that for women’s boxing to grow, I’d have to go pro after winning the Olympics again. I felt in my heart that I would be respected and given a chance. I take advantage of every opportunity, so as of now, I feel women’s boxing is a sport that is going to be around for a long time.”

Николай Потапов:

“Nieves is good fighter, and he’s ranked in the top 10. I want to fight the best available in my division. A win over Nieves would be huge for my career and would hopefully lead to a shot at a title in the near future. I can’t lose on Март 10.

“I trained hard to go the distance of 10 раундов, but Kronk’s philosophy is not to leave it in the hands of the judges.

“I am thankful to Showtime and Salita Promotions for giving me another opportunity to fight on such a prestigious network. I am focused on bringing home the victory after spending time in Detroit training at the legendary Kronk Gym. "

Temecula, Халиф. (Февраль. 24, 2017) – Justin “Выбранный” DeLoach scored a shocking upset over Крис “Молодой король” Пирсон in a second-round knockout victory в пятницу в главном событии ShoBox: Новое поколение on SHOWTIME in front of a sellout crowd from Pechanga курорт & Казино в Темекула.
DeLoach, (17-1, 9 КО), of Augusta, Джорджия. continued his impressive winning streak with his seventh straight victory as he claimed the vacant USBA super welterweight title with the win, knocking out Pearson (14-2, 10 КО, WSB 3-0, 1 KO) на 2:30 второго тура.
Пирсон, who trains in Las Vegas and fights out of Dayton, Огайо, was first knocked down after DeLoach threw a strong left hook that caught Pearson sideways and dropped him to the canvas with one minute to go in Round 2.
DeLoach didn’t let up, going after the hurting Pearson with a flurry of combinations sending him down again on a straight up right hand and leaving Pearson on his knees for the entire 10-second count.
I’m not surprised that it happened so quickly,” DeLoach said. “We had a strategy and we stuck to it. Hard work pays off and that was proof. I didn’t think I was an underdog, but I understand the whole thing of psychological warfare. I always go into the ring like I am on top no matter what.
The southpaw Pearson, who was appearing on ShoBox for third time, never got going and landed just one body punch in the short fight connecting on just nine percent of his total punches (four of 43) по сравнению с 32 percent for DeLoach (29 из 92).
Pearson seemed a step slower from the start and DeLoach came forward,” сказал ShoBox эксперт аналитик Стив Farhood, who later called the DeLoach win a shocker. “Вау. Even if you liked DeLoach to win this fight, you are surprised it happened this soon.
He later added: “I thought it was going to be a distance fight. Pearson never recovered from his loss to Eric Walker. DeLoach continues to surprise. This is his fourth consecutive major win and now I believe he’s a contender at 154 pounds-maybe one or two fights away from a world title fight.
The bout was originally scheduled for last September before Pearson was forced to withdraw due to an injury suffered in training.
I felt lackluster,” Pearson said. “He came out and he was explosive, he was busy. He didn’t do anything I didn’t expect. Things happened the way they did, and you gotta take the good with the bad. He hit me in the eye which got me a bit disoriented. He fought like I thought he would, he did what he had to do. His performance didn’t surprise me.
DeLoach was clearly overcome with emotion as he reflected on his huge victory. “Я прекрасно себя чувствую,” DeLoach said. “I am emotional right now. I come from a small city and my mom is here and she’s in tears. Seeing my mom and my family here, I am just proud.
В со-главном событии вечера, undefeated up-and-coming prospect Саул “Neno” Родригес (21-0-1, 15 КО) of nearby Riverside won a split decision treating the hometown fans to a close outcome against a tough and game Оскар “Машина” Хорошо (22-7, 10 КО) в 10-раундовом бою легкого.
Судья Carla Caiz scored it 95-94 для Родригеса; Tony Crebs 95-94 for Bravo and Jerry Cantu 97-92 in favor of the still undefeated Rodriguez, who had never been past eight rounds before Суббота ночь, and also was knocked down for the first time in his career in the fifth round.
I was pretty happy with my performance, but I know there are a few things I need to work on and really just stay focused,” Rodriguez said. “When you’re fighting a wild opponent like Bravo, it gets tough, he head-butted me a few times which affected my visual, but I didn’t let his wild style interrupt my plan.
I was definitely going for the KO throughout the night, but I was still boxing with him. I just gotta go back in the gym and continue developing as a fighter, I am just happy to bring the win home to my hometown and my home stable [Мэйвезер Акции].”
A straight right hand by Bravo dropped the 23-year-old Rodriguez for the first time in his career with 1:50 left in the fifth round giving Bravo a huge 10-8 круглый. In the sixth round Bravo, 29, was again impressive and was able to effectively get inside against Rodriguez and land several powerful combinations.
Переход в финальный раунд, the two were almost equal in number of punches thrown and number of punches connected. Rodriguez was a bit more active in the end, подключения на 33 процентов его ударов (174 из 522) по сравнению с 31 percent for Bravo (155 из 497).
В телепередаче нож, undefeated cruiserweight Другойв “Зверь” Табити (14-0, 12 КО) Чикаго, Жестокое., out-worked and out-classed the previously undefeated QuantisThe Grim Reaper” Могилы (11-1-2, 4 КО) Бомон, Техас, scoring a technical knockout after six rounds.
The 27-year-old Tabiti was simply too skilled and powerful for the out-manned 34-year-old Graves, who was fighting for just the second time in the past 27 месяцы.
Near the end of the fourth round Tabitifighting for the second time on ShoBoxunleashed a series of powerful combinations that all but ended the fight putting the visibly hurt Graves against the ropes before he was saved by the bell.
В шестом раунде, Tabiti hurt Graves again leaving him back-pedaling and finally sending him to the canvas for the first time in his professional career with a brutal body shot. Graves never made it out for the seventh round as he and his corner threw in the towel in between rounds. The referee, Ray Corona, signaled the end of the fight.
As soon as I got in the ring, I knew it was game over for him,” Табити сказал. “Figuring out his game plan was easy money. The only thing I feel I could have done better was get him out of the fight quicker. He was talking a lot before the fight, but I didn’t let that get in my head I just came out and did what I was supposed to do.
Graves connected on only three body punches on the night, по сравнению с 29 for Tabiti, который приземлился 43 процентов его общего объема ударов, по сравнению с только 11 percent for Graves, который был 159й истребитель потерять его непобедимую запись на ShoBox.
Tabiti is very fast,” Graves said. “I’ve been boxing for 19 years and I’ve never fought anyone as fast as him. У меня нет оправданий. It is okay. Tabiti was cocky before the fight and humble after. He just needs to keep working hard and perfect his skills.
Мероприятие способствовало Мэйвезер Акции и TGB Акции, and was witnessed by all-time great and Mayweather Promotions President Флойд Мэйвезер, who celebrated his 40й день рождения в пятницу and was interviewed by Farhood on the telecast before the Rodriguez-Bravo fight.

FNU Combat Sports Show Featuring Ivan “Зверь” Baranchyk

Джон “Зверь” Baranchyk (15-0, 10 КО) joins the broadcast tonight to talk about his recent war on ShoBox with Abel Ramos (17-2-2, 12 КО). Baranchyk launched an incredible effort in the later rounds to hand Ramos his second professional loss and establish himself as a spirited, tough-as-nails brawler. Some experts claimed the fight was one of the most entertaining bouts in the 17-year history of the ShoBox series. Том, Tony and Rich discuss the fight, other highlights of Ivan’s career, and get Baranchyk to explain how his early start in Jiu Jitsu eventually led him to the Sweet Science. The 24-year-old is already solidifying his legend, which explains why he points to “Железо” Mike Tyson as one of his role models in the sport of boxing.

 

Том, Tony and Rich also discuss the latest Mayweather/MacGregor news, an odd suspension of an MMA fighter for going after his opponent’s corner man, the calling off of Chris Brown vs. Soulja Boy, and Roy Jones Jr. re-establishing his goal of fighting Anderson Silva in a boxing match (he now wants it to be on the Mayweather/MacGregor undercard).

 

We also recap last week’s combat sports events and preview Bellator 173 and this week’s upcoming boxing matches.

Заключительные мысли

Крис Пирсон

 

On fighting Justin DeLoach…

“I have had my back against the wall before. I know how it feels. I perform at my best when I have my back against the wall. I know he’s a talented fighter and that he has power in both hands, but I also know that he looks shaky when he gets cracked. He’s an athletic guy, he’s fast and moves well, but I’m the more skillful fighter.

 

“DeLoach makes a lot of mistakes in the ring. I’m going to take advantage of that. He’s never been against a guy like me. He won’t pass through me. I’m simply the better fighter here.

 

“I have the better jab and I have the pedigree. I’m disciplined and patient. You’ll see завтра ночь, DeLoach is in for a surprise. The only way this kid beats me is if I’m going with the wrong strategy, but I know I won’t. As far as skill for skill, I know I’m at a different level.”

 

На сборах ...

“I’ve been in camp since April last year—almost a year. I’m not concerned in the very least about making weight. I woke up this morning at 152 фунты. I learned from my mistakes. Every fight that I’ve looked mediocre it’s been because I kill myself making the weight.”

On his loss against Eric Walker…

“I struggled to make weight for my fight against Walker. Я должен был потерять 20 фунты в 10 дней. I waited until the last minute to make weight and I paid the price. У меня не было ноги. I had him in the position I wanted him, but I had no energy to close the deal. I couldn’t deliver. I lost that fight on the scale. I learned my lesson. It won’t happen again.”

На завтра night’s matchup…

“I don’t think it’s going to be a boxing match for long. Once one of us gets comfortable with the range and believe we have the advantage, we are going to start opening up more. If he comes up a little hotter, I believe my skills are going to dictate the pace and make adjustments as we go. Boxing is the sweet science but is not rocket science. You get in there and you find the advantage. You do what you have to do, adjust and get the win.”

Джастин DeLoach

On working with his new trainer, Lucius Robinson…

“I had some differences with my previous trainer [Пол Уильямс]. I wanted more of the mental side of training, not only the physical. We just had different philosophies so I decided to change trainers.

 

“I’m training with Lucius Robinson now and it’s a big change—psychologically and philosophically. I’m really breaking down what I’m doing in the ring. I’m not just going in there to fight. As a young fighter you get in the ring and you just fight, but you have to do more than that. I’m learning how to use my head in the ring. When I’m hitting you, I know why I’m hitting you, where I’m hitting you. I know what I’m going to do.

 

“Learning the mental side of my sport really took me to another level. Anybody can get in there and get knocked out—that’s why I had my first loss—but who can really go in there and do what Floyd does? Break an opponent down in the later rounds. Master the sweet science. That’s the biggest change I had in my career, to learn the mental side of the sport.”

 

On his last three fights…

“I fought three undefeated prospect last year and I beat them. Я боролся Младший Кастильо кто имеет власть в обеих руках. I went in there, I did my thing and I outclassed him. I got the knockout over Диллон Кук а потом Доминик Долтон, who is a respectable opponent. I had a heck of a year.”

On his fight against Dominique Dolton…

“It was something that came together last minute. I was supposed to fight Chris Pearson but he got injured. I really appreciate the opportunity of fighting Dolton because a lot of up-and-comers don’t have the opportunity to fight a guy like that. Dolton was like a championship fight for me. He taught me a lot and took me to a whole different level. He was a replacement opponent, and my God, he’s a hell of a fighter.”

 

On his KO over Dillon Cook on ShoBox…

“It’s funny. I’m more of a boxer than a puncher. I don’t look for the knockout. Я люблю боксировать. I think of myself as a boxer-puncher. I feel my opponents don’t usually know how much power I have. They underestimate me and I’m OK with that. My power catches them off balance.”

On fighting a southpaw…

“When you fight a southpaw, there are only two people you can study: Флойд Мэйвезер и Рой Джонс-младший. If you watch tape on them you can learn a lot. It can help you develop your skills. I did my homework. I know exactly what I’m going to do завтра."

 

On making weight…

“I never had a problem making weight. My body feels good. When I was with Ронни Шилдс at the beginning of my career, I learned that if I take care of my weight early on, you can concentrate on training for the fight. Так, это то, чем я занимаюсь. I make weight early and then I train hand to fight my opponent.”

 

Саул Родригес

 

На завтра fight against Oscar Bravo…

“I want to look good. If I focus on dictating the pace for this fight, the knockout will come. My punches will keep on coming and I eventually will get some damage done. I’ll drop him and then, I’ll stop him.

 

“I always look for the knockout. It’s just more satisfying for me. I like KOs, but I’ll be patient. I feel that Bravo is tailor-made for me. Он никогда не был остановлен. So I want to stop him. Не поймите меня неправильно, I won’t be reckless. But if he’s there for me to punch, I’ll punch him and I’ll go for the knockout.”

 

On changing promoters…

“Top Rank wanted to sign me again, but it was my decision to leave. I felt I was not treated well. I felt that I wasn’t getting the opportunities I deserved. So I decided to sign with Floyd, and here I am, fighting on SHOWTIME. It was a good move.”

 

On sparring with Mikey Garcia…

“I’ve sparred with Mikey Garcia for years. He got me ready for almost every professional fight I’ve had. I would say we’ve sparred over 100 раундов. Я так много узнал от него. I think that having him as a sparring partner it’s been a difference maker for me. It’s made me a better fighter.”

On what’s next…

“I’m going to get a title at 130 first and then I’ll move up in weight. I’d like to fight Мигель Берчельт—the guy that just beat Vargas. Gervonta Дэвис is at that weight too. I’ll meet him down the road. I’m more interested in unifying. I want to get the WBC title and then I want to go for the IBF.”

 

Oscar Bravo

На сборах ...

“I’ve been training in Floyd’s gym in Vegas. We were in training camp for a while. Я думаю 135 is my best weight to fight at.”

 

По его противника, Saul Rodriguez…

"Он хороший боец. He’s a young fighter and hasn’t been in the gym with the experienced fighters like I have. He throws wild punches. Если он делает это, I will make him pay.”

 

On what’s next…

“I want to be a world champion someday. I’ve never had this much time to prepare for a fight, so you’re going to see a different fighter this time. I’m confident and feel like this fight is going to change my life.

 

“My dream was to become Chilean champion and I did. I always took last minute fights with two weeks’ notice and went the distance.”

 

Андрей Табити

 

On his performance against Keith Tapia…

“I kept my composure. I thought I was sharp. A lot of people didn’t think I was going to beat Tapia, но я сделал. Styles make fights and we were matched perfectly. Since Tapia, I’m much better. He was high energy and moved a lot. He threw me off of my style at first, but I adjusted.”

 

По его противника, Quantis Graves…

“I watched some tape on him. He’s flat-footed and stays stationary. I know what he has to offer. I can adjust well. I got a good jab, a great body punch.”

 

On what’s next…

“I’d love a world title shot, but I’m going to stay patient. I’m still at Floyd’s gym and working hard. I want to be a heavyweight someday. I’d like to stay more active and fight more.

 

“If things go well, I’d like a title shot later this year. There are not a lot of American boxers in my weight class. I’d like to fight Шуменов Бакбо. That’s who I want.

 

“I’d like to move to heavyweight later in my career.”

 

для своих

 

On his matchup завтра night…

“I plan on beating Andrew Tabiti завтра ночь. I’ve prepared for this. We’ve done everything. I’ve been prepared for this fight mentally. I’ve never been 100 percent for a fight, except for this one.

 

“I’m not worrying about Tabiti. Tabiti is worried about me. He has the title to lose. That’s how I feel about it. I’ve seen his YouTube videos, and I’ve seen the mistakes he’s made. And I’m going to capitalize on those mistakes.

 

“I’m not just fighting Tabiti, I’m fighting TMT. I’m fighting Floyd. I’m taking this fight very seriously.”

 

По его противника, Andrew Tabiti…

“Everybody can look good when you fight guys that can’t fight. His last opponent, [Кит] Tapia was good. But who else has he fought?

 

“I have everything to gain, nothing to lose. Я голоден. I’m not a pampered, spoiled guy. I have nobody buying me cars. I have a car note, a house note, two kids and another one on the way. Я голоден. I have everything to lose…I’m going to do what I have to do.”

On his pro career…

“I had a great amateur career. I had some stops and starts. I had issues when I didn’t get signed with a promoter coming out of the Olympic trials and that stalled my pro career a bit. My professional career started off slow. I’m not as active as I would have liked to be but I’m a young 34. I’ve never taken a beating. I fought five times and 2014, and twice in 2015 and last year, no fights. I live a clean life and don’t drink or don’t smoke. I just train. Every day.”
