PROVIDENCE (Mai 31, 2016) — Super mi-moyens invaincu Demetrious “Boo Boo” Andrade est dans un bon endroit où il se prépare pour son Juin 11 épreuve de force contre Willie “Le grand” Nelson sur Showtime Championship Boxing® en direct sur Showtime® (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT) de Turning Stone Casino à Vérone, N. Y..
En approchant le sommet de sa carrière de boxe professionnelle, Andrade-28 ans (22-0, 15 KOs) a dépassé frustrant bout de trois ans, après avoir remporté une décision en 12 rounds sur Vanes Masrtirosyan pour l'Organisation mondiale de boxe vacant (WBO) 154-livre titre mondial, trouvé le combattre seulement deux fois. L'un était sa seule défense de son titre, dans lequel il a gagné de manière impressionnante par un arrêt de septième ronde de puis WBO Non. 1 challenger titre obligatoire Brian Rose. Mais, en raison de problèmes de promotion, Andrade a été dépouillé plus tard par la WBO pour l'inactivité. Son dernier combat a été Octobre dernier quand il a enregistré un KO au deuxième tour de Fabian Dario Pucheta pour la WBO ceinture internationale.
Maintenant, Andrade a un nouveau contrat promotionnel de trois ans qui donne son entreprise, Promotions Une équipe, 50 pour cent de ses droits promotionnels pour aller de pair avec 25 pour cent pour chaque bannière Promotions et Star Boxing.
“J'ai toujours été dans un bon endroit, mentalement, parce que j'ai confiance en moi,” dit Andrade sur ce qu'il a vécu au cours de sa longue étendue à l'extérieur de l'anneau. “Je continuai la formation dure. La politique de la boxe, bien, Je ne suis pas 100 pour cent encore là. Pas jusqu'à ce que je suis en fait dans le ring et le combat puis-je savoir si ce fait, nous avons travaillé pour moi.
“Je suis satisfait de mon avenir, me présentant dans l'anneau. je possède 50 pour cent de moi-même et que – étant un promoteur – est un facteur important. Je sais tout maintenant, y compris tous les nombres réels, et je l'ai appris sur les tenants et les aboutissants de cette affaire. Je rencontre également le réseau droit des personnes pour aider ma carrière.”
Andrade est ravi de se battre sur SHOWTIME pour la deuxième fois au cours de sa carrière, le premier avant 2013 sur ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération contre Freddy Hernandez. “Le top 154-pilons sont avec SHOWTIME. Je tiens à remercier SHOWTIME pour me donner cette opportunité.”
Andrade-Nelson est un combat d'élimination du titre WBC 12 rounds pour déterminer le deuxième challenger obligatoire pour les nouveaux champion WBC des super mi-moyens Jermell Charlo, qui, comme WBC Non. 1 candidat a été égalé en mai dernier 21 sans. 2 Évalué John Jackson. Ne Pas. 3 Andrade a été prévu à l'origine pour faire face Non. 5 Charles Hatley dans un éliminateur titre pour déterminer No. 1 aspirant obligatoire. Cependant, négociations avec le promoteur de Hatley, Don King, n'a pas réussi à se matérialiser et Andrade déplacé pour combattre WBC Non. 10 Nelson. Le WBC a déclaré Hatley comme challenger obligatoire de Charlo, malgré lui être classé plus bas que Andrade, avec le vainqueur Andrade-Nelson a déclaré aujourd'hui le challenger titre obligatoire pour le futur vainqueur Charlo-Hatley.
Andrade, bien que, n'a pas de rancune avec le WBC au sujet de ses décisions. “Je suis reconnaissant à se battre dans ce « tournoi »,” at-il commenté. “Charlo était le champion WBC International et il aurait eu l'occasion de se battre pour le titre vacant. J'ai le titre WBO international, Hatley le titre WBC Silver, si Hatley aurait probablement dû être plus haut gradés que moi par le WBC. Je respecte la décision du WBC pour lui faire le premier challenger obligatoire.”
Nelson (25-2-1, 15 KOs) et Andrade sont familiers les uns aux autres par le programme amateur USA Boxing, mais les deux ont jamais rencontré dans le ring.
“Nelson laisse aller ses mains,” Andrade a noté. “Il aime mélanger et moi aussi. Je me plais à penser que je suis un peu plus intelligent que lui dans le ring. Cela va être un combat intéressant. Je le respecte pour prendre le combat et je me prépare à lutter contre le adversaire le plus coriace que j'ai jamais fait face à. Il peut être le plus grand gars (6′ 3″) J'ai jamais combattu comme un pro, mais il est à seulement quelques pouces, et pas une grosse affaire.”
Andrade est de retour sur son chemin pour atteindre le sommet de la division des 154 livres une fois.
“Je suis prêt à mettre le toit en feu sur Juin 11,” Andrade dit. “Une fois que tout le monde à 154 livres devient un avant-goût de moi, ils savent que je suis le plus grand. Le Charlos a marqué l'histoire en devenant les premiers jumeaux à des titres de maintien de la même division de poids. Je vais faire l'histoire en battant les deux. Ensuite, je vais battre Lara et unifier toutes les ceintures.
“Restez à l'écoute. Je suis une force à laquelle il faut compter. Je vais montrer au monde que le meilleur 154 combattant de la livre dans le monde est Demetrius Andrade.”

Fighting Professionally in his Hometown for the First Time this Friday, Nick Casal to Make First Ring Appearance in Nearly Five Years

Laisser un commentaire
A familiar name, especially to the local boxing fans, will make his first ring appearance in just under five years ce vendredi night in his own hometown of Niagara Falls, New York.
Former red-hot prospect Nick “Hands of Gold” Casal (22-4-1, 17 KOs) says he’s expecting some rust, but should have enough to overcome when he takes on 37-fight veteran Antonio Chaves Fernandez of Brockton, Massachusetts, in one of the untelevised supporting bouts at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino. The fight will be Casal’s first at home as a professional.
Dans l'événement principal de 10 manches de la nuit, WBO #11-, WBA #12- and IBF #15-rated heavyweight boxer Jarrell “Big Baby” Meunier (16-0-1, 14 KOs), defends his WBA NABA Heavyweight title against Topeka, Kansas, slugger Nick Guivas (12-3-2, 9 KOs). And in the 10-round lightweight semi-final, red-hot Filipino prospect Harmonito “El Huracan de Gensan” Dela Torre (17-0, 12 KOs) will make his debut on US soil against capable veteran Guillermo Sanchez (15-18-1, 6 KOs) de Buffalo.
Presented by Greg Cohen Promotions, Salita Promotions, FightCard Productions and Winner Take All Productions, “Championship Boxing sur CBS Sports Network” will be broadcast live nationally at 9 pm EST.
Les billets pour “Championship Boxing sur CBS Sports Network” commence à $35 and are available at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino box-office,www.ticketmaster.com or you can charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000.
30-year-old Casal was headed for big things in boxing before suffering a loss of focus and all four of his losses in a two-year stretch from 2007 à 2009. Depuis, inactivity has been the name of his game.
So where was he and why wasn’t he fighting?
“I never really left,” said Casal during a break in one of his final training sessions. “I’ve been working full-time for the last three years, but I was ready to go and trying to get a fight the whole time. I had a number of them fall through. I had one fight fall through at the weigh-in when a guy failed his physical. That was heartbreaking. But now, I finally have a team in place that can keep them from falling through and I’m glad to be finally getting back in the ring.”
Casal says he’s basically the same talented fighter he always was… with a few improvements.
“Physiquement, I feel exactly the same as I did five years ago. Mentalement, I would say I’m a little stronger and a lot more patient than I was when I was younger. I set my shots up a lot better. I don’t think the ring rust will be as bad as it is for other guys who take a lot of time off. I’ve been in the gym training fighters and working out the whole time. I expect to have a little bit of rust, but not as much as someone who was completely out for years. I picture it going very well if I stick to my game plan and stay very focused.”
Working with father Ray at their Casal’s Boxing Club Gym in Niagara Falls since February, Casal says he will now compete in the welterweight division and expects to take an aggressive approach to getting back on track.
“I want to win a few regional titles and then earn a world title shot. Around this time next year, I’d like to be in some important fights.”
Casal says he owes his apparent resurgence to promoter Greg Cohen, with whom he signed earlier this year.
“He’s a great promoter and does shows in my hometown. I’ve never fought here as a professional. I fought in Buffalo a few times in 2011, but never fought here. That was important to me. People are calling like crazy for tickets. I’m excited to get it on. With the crowd behind me, Je serai 100% prêt. I’ve just been waiting for the right guy to help me get to where I want to be. Looks like I found him.”
La nuit de combat, ouverture des portes à 6 h et l'action commence à 7:00 h. The Seneca Niagara Resort & Le casino est situé au 310 4th Street à Niagara Falls, New York. Pour plus d'informations, appel 877-873-6322 ou visite www.senecaniagaracasino.com.

Here’s what the fighters said about their fights Vendredi, training camp, their respective opponents and more:

 

ANDREW Tabiti

“It’s great that four undefeated cruiserweights are fighting each other. I want us to get the ball back into U.S. territory, since it is a historically European-dominated division. I definitely think the emergence of young cruiserweights like myself is changing that.

 

“I don’t compare myself to other cruiserweights in the division, I know I’m the best. I’m always looking to win impressively, and I look to put on a great performance for the fansVendredi nuit.

 

“Everything has been perfect. Le camp d'entraînement a été très bien passé. I started camp in February so I feel strong and comfortable. What’s interesting is that I’m not nervous at all despite this being my first headlining debut. I see it as any other fight where I know what I am coming in to do. I think that lets me know that I am maturing as a fighter and feel a lot more confident in my skills and abilities.

 

“I’ve been waiting for the right date and this is it. I believe my career moving is great, what I dreamed of. Now it’s time to take the next step.

 

“Personally I’ve never seen Tapia fight, but I’ve watched videos. He is unbeaten, a solid opponent. Styles make fights and this is a good one for me. I’m looking forward to continuing to step up and give everybody a good performance and get close to a title fight.

 

"Je ne peux pas attendre. I’m going in confident. The key is to get the victory, it’s the main thing. Winning is everything.

 

“I feel blessed to be training out of Floyd’s gym and be able to fight under Mayweather Promotions. He’s someone I look up to so being where I am is a dream coming to reality. I love training at Mayweather Boxing Club. It keeps me focused and hungry.”

 

KEITH TAPIA

 

“Fighting Tabiti is a great, real challenge. I like the way he fights. Je le respecte, but I’m going to be bad weather for him. I’m going to take control right away; it will be a Tapia fight, not a Tabiti fight. That’s a fact.

 

“Tabiti is a talented boxer. His style is a Mayweather style. I love Floyd Mayweather as a fan, but Tabiti’s not Floyd Mayweather. Moi? Je viens pour combattre, hands up, moving forward as I go. I want to run over you.

 

“I’m definitely going to change the perception about me in this fight and the division because I’m a machine. I’m really confident and can’t wait to fight.

 

"Pour moi, this is the right time. I am here and definitely ready to fight. I feel I’m the best in my weight class except no one has seen me yet. Tabiti may have the fame, but I’m not just going to talk the talk, I’m going to walk the walk.

 

“I think this is a big step up for me when I beat him. Once the bell rings, that’s when we know what is going to really happen.

 

“I’m going to become the cruiserweight champion, defend it a couple of times and then move up. I already feel like a champion both mentally and spiritually.

 

“All of my fights are equally important. I’m really satisfied with the way my career is going. If it wasn’t for boxing I wouldn’t be here right now. God and boxing saved me. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be alive.”

 

 

MICHAEL HUNTER

“This is a step up as far as competition compared to the past, with him being an undefeated cruiserweight. C'est un bon, long-ranging southpaw. We are actually around the same age; we were in the amateurs at the same time, but never fought each other.Vendredi, I aim to win impressively. I don’t want to say I’m going for the knockout, if it happens it happens, but hopefully we can get it.

 

“Although I’ve fought on TV quite a few times before, this is going to be a good show with Mayweather Promotions. I’m thankful to be fighting on the undercard of my good friend Andrew Tabiti. That’s an honor, pour être honnête. It’s going to be great that my family and friends outside of Las Vegas will be able to tune in to watch me, so that’s a blessing.

 

“I wouldn’t say I’m satisfied with the way my career is going. I can’t complain because I have no losses, I just wish it would go at a little faster pace. I’m a two-time Olympian and in the amateurs we’re used to fighting 4-5 times out of the week, so adjusting to fighting once every few months or so feels a little stagnant to me. I really try not to think too far into the future, I try to live in the moment, but I hope to get a title shot relatively soon.

“I went into training camp right after my last fight, so it’s been about eight weeks. There’s always ups and downs in training, but as long as you keep a positive spirit, everything will end up going perfectly well. So it’s been going good I can’t complain. I usually train out of the Mayweather Boxing Club, but there’s been some construction going on so we have moved it to Fight Capitol and a few other places.

“I have been changing my training just to better myself, not necessarily for my opponent or for this fight.

 

“You have to be a little more focused in the Mayweather Gym. There’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t really happen in a normal gym simply because he is Floyd so it will bring it out of you or it won’t. Only the strongest survive.”

 

Isiah Thomas

 

"Vendredi is a good thing for up-and-coming, American cruiserweights. There are a lot of us in the division looking to make our mark. Not just myself. This is our chance to show that America has good fighters in the cruiserweight division. It’s the perfect showcase.

 

“I’m very excited about being part of Vendredi de carte. I am just taking it all in and looking to perform to the top of my ability and showcase my talents.

 

“Hunter is young and hungry just like me, but I haven’t really seen or watched him. I’ve heard about him and I’m sure he’s going to bring his “A” game.

 

«Je sais ce que je peux faire, there’s no need for a lot of strategizing. I’m not just showing up.

 

“I feel my career is going good to this point. I keep rising. I’m on television. I like the pace I’m going but there is only way to really go, and that’s to the top. I don’t consider myself the best cruiserweight, just one of the top comers. Finalement, and in due time, bien que.

 

"Vendredi, I’m just going to do what I do best. Bien sûr, you want to win impressively but the most important thing is to win. I’ve got to get that W.

 

“I live in Detroit but train in Miami, which is like a second home to me. Training camp has been going for about two months and it has been great. I get great sparring in Miami.”

 

Ronald Gavril

 

“I’m looking forward to having this big opportunity. Many people don’t know who I am so fighting on SHOWTIME will start giving me the exposure and recognition I need.

 

« Le camp d'entraînement s'est très bien passé, I feel strong and prepared. I’m happy and have no complaints. I feel blessed to be a part of this great card full of fighters with tremendous talent. It’s exciting to be able to share this with my stablemates here in our town.

 

“I’m looking forward to what this will bring not only for my future but for all of ours.”

 

JUAN NOVOA

 

« Le camp d'entraînement s'est très bien passé, I have been training for seven weeks now. I’m currently training in Miami, Fla.

 

“I have seen videos of his fights and can tell he is a strong fighter who is not afraid to mix it up. Considering that I have more professional fights and over 180 combats amateurs, it is tough to say whether Gavril is a step up for me, until I step into the ring ce vendredi.

 

“I would be more satisfied with my career if I had already won a world title, but unfortunately the circumstances from my last world championship challenge didn’t turn out in my favor. I know that by winning this fight I would immediately launch myself into world title contention and potentially another world title opportunity. I see myself either challenging for, or defending a world title a year from now.”

 

SANJARBEK RAKHMANOV

 

“I’ve watched Olvera enough to feel I know him. He’s a taller, Mexican guy. Je suis impatient de le combattre.

 

“I train at Mayweather Boxing Club with Dewey Cooper; he’s been my coach since I turned pro. I had about 150 amateur fights and I got a lot of international experience.

 

“I consider myself a puncher. Once the bell rings, Je viens pour combattre.

 

“I’m happy with the way things are going. Je me entraîne dur tous les jours. I’m coming to take all the titles. This is my weight, environ 143 livres. I don’t plan to go up much or down

 

“In this fight I want to win and look good and then come right back. I think after about a year I will be ready to take on all the top guys.’’

ALFONSO OLVERA

 

«Le camp d'entraînement a été formidable; we’ve been in training for about a month. Road work is good, the sparring is good with different boxers. The weight is not an issue. I train at Scrapyard Boxing Gym in Tucson, Ariz.

 

“Our opponent is formidable and to be taken serious. We know he is aggressive and expects to win so we have to bring our “A” game to the ring. We also expect to win.

 

“At this point in my career I am very happy with my progress. This card is definitely for the world to see, and is also a big step forward for us.

 

“We are welcoming the opportunity and grateful for it. We hope this fight elevates us to more opportunities and gets us closer to someday challenging for a world title.”

VERONA, N. Y.. (Avril 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects Nikolay Potapov et Stephon Jeune fought to a majority draw in theShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération événement principal Vendredi on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N. Y..

 

The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 deux fois.

 

Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. Potapov (14-0-1, 6 KOs) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.

 

After slowing in the seventh and eighth, Jeune (14-0-3, 6 KOs) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. Mais, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10e and lost the final round on all three scorecards.

 

“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,»Dit Potapov, qui a jeté 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.

 

“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”

 

Après le combat, St. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.

 

“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.

 

“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.

 

“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”

Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 KOs) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. The Dominican Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. Less than one minute into third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo (21-1, 15 KOs) out before he even hit the canvas.

 

“I made a statement ce soir. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 pour cent de ses coups en puissance. “My speed, power and footwork were the difference.

 

“I said a prayer for him in the middle of the ring that he goes back to his family healthy.”

 

Bernardo, who was removed from the ring on a stretcher as a precautionary measure, was taken to nearby Oneida Healthcare where he was awake and responsive.

 

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, undefeated cruiserweightConstantin Bejenaru main Alexey Zubov the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 deux fois.

 

Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, Bejenaru (11-0, 4 KOs) controlled the fight from the outset. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. Zubov (10-1, 6 KOs) never got into rhythm and failed to capitalize on his reach advantage against the active and athletic southpaw.

 

“He was a good classical boxer, but he’s too straight up and he couldn’t adjust,” Bejenaru said. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked to beat him. I adjusted my style to do that because I knew it would make him hesitate. I knew if I just constantly attacked him he wouldn’t know what to do.”

 

Zubov and Bernardo are now the 146e et 147e boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

 

Vendredi de three-fight telecast will re-air Mardi à 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND beginning April 16

RUSSIA’S ZUBOV LIVING OUT HIS DREAMS FIGHTING FOR DETROIT’S KRONK GYM WHILE PREPARING FOR HIS SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION DEBUT THIS FRIDAY, Avril 15

Laisser un commentaire
BROOKLYN, New York (Avril 12, 2016) – As a kid growing up in Magnitogorsk, Russie,cruiserweight Alexey Zubov heard stories about the fabled Kronk Gym and the late legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, but never thought he’d have a chance to join the team. But then one day, the former amateur champion was asked to come to Detroit to spar with Kronk’s Johnathon Banks … Et le reste est de l'histoire.
Cette Vendredi, Avril 15, the undefeated Zubov (10-0, 6 KOs) will face Mandilesti, Moldova’s Constantin Bejenaru (10-0, 4 KOs, WSB: 0-1-1) in the eight-round opener of an internationally televised ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération live on SHOWTME (10 p.m. ET/PT, retardés sur la côte ouest) au Turning Stone Resort Casino à Verona, New York.
Presented by Salita Promotions in association with AASHA Record Breakers,the mainevent will featureIBF No. 10-classé poids coq Nikolay Potapov (14-0, 6 KOs), de Podolsk, Russie, prenant Stephon Jeune (14-0-2, 6 KOs), de St. Louis, Missouri in a 10-round bout. En cas de co-principal, Eudy Bernardo (21-0, 15 KOs) of the Dominican Republic faces Maçon “Rock Hard Puissant” Menard (30-1-0, 22 KOs), of Rayne, Louisiane, dans une bataille de huit rounds.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at the Turning Stone Resort Casino Box Office, en appelant le 877.833.SHOW, ou en ligne sur Ticketmaster.com. They are priced at $60 pour les premières loges, $35 et $25.
“I’ve been in Detroit for the last two months and I am so happy; I want to stay here, train here and live here,” said Zubov. “Every Russian fighter knows about Kronk Gym and Emanuel Steward.”
Zubov is currently winding down camp with his trainer and Steward’s nephew Javan “Sucre” Hill at the resurgent Kronk Gym. “I like Javan’s style,” said Zubov, “and I’ve learned so much about hand speed and footwork and about using intelligence in the ring – how you need to think when you’re in a fight.”
“Alexey is able to learn a lot and absorb boxing knowledge easily,” M. Hill. “He barely speaks English and yet he soaks it in. C'est incroyable. I brought him in to spar with Banks and when we were training, Alexey just sat on the side and watched. Plus tard, he was sparring with Johnathon and I told him to stop. I said ‘listen here. I’m training Jonathon Banks and you’re doing everything I told him to do. What’s wrong with you?’ Then I laughed and said ‘I like that. Keep watching. I’ll teach you everything you want to know.’ “
Hill says this camp with Zubov was a transition for the fighter. “We are moving into the championship level where you train for a specific fighter. A lot of it is strategy and planning. The only thing I worry about is him being too excited. He’s very high-strung and wants to prove things. I have to control him and keep him from getting over-excited. That’s what we’ve been working on. He gets antsy when he’s excited.”
“Training was prefect. Je suis 100 pour cent prêt,” said Zubov. “I know Bejenaru is a southpaw and he is a short guy with a good record. It’s my first time on SHOWTIME and I am so happy to be showing the world what I can do.”

“Je suis en grande forme. Je me sens fort,” said Bernardo via translator. “I’ve learned so much from Frank Tate and I’m proud to be working with him. He’s a great trainer. I’m learning to throw better combinations and I’ve improved my defense, mon jab, and my foot movement since we teamed up.”
Bernardo says he still doesn’t know much about opponent Menard, but isn’t worried about it. “I watched a few of his fights on YouTube, but I’m training for anything that comes my way. Everything is going to go great for me that night. It’s my ring that night and I will have my way. I will win.”

Menard says despite the usual aches and pain experienced in camp he is 100 percent and training is going well. The only adjustments he’s made is to bring in taller sparring partners.
“This is huge for me,” il a continué. “This is the ‘get up or lay down’ type of fight. If I get up, then the sky is the limit. If I fall, then maybe it’s time to look for a job. I’m going to get in there and do what I have to do. Hopefully I get the KO, but if it goes to the scorecards, I just want the win. No matter which way it goes.”

NEW YORK (Mars 16, 2016) –Eight talented up-and-coming boxers with a combined record of 116-2-4, 71 KOs will compete on a compelling ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération quadrupleheader sur Vendredi, Avril 15, survivre AFFICHER L'HEURE (10 p.m. ET/PT, retardés sur la côte ouest) de Turning Stone Resort Casino à Verona, N. Y..

 

In a clash of unbeaten bantamweights in the main event, undefeated world-ranked Nikolay Potapov (14-0, 6 KOs), de Podolsk, Russie, visages Stephon Jeune (14-0-2, 6 KOs), de St. Louis, Manquer. dans un combat de 10 rounds. Eudy Bernardo (21-0, 15 KOs) of the Dominican Republic faces Mason “Rock Hard Mighty” Menard (30-1-0, 22 KOs), of Rayne, Le., in an eight/10-round battle of hard-hitting lightweights in the co-feature.

 

Promising Russian cruiserweight Alexey Zubov (10-0, 6 KOs) measures against Constantin Bejenaru (10-0, 4 KOs, WSB: 0-1-1) of Mandilesti, Moldavie, in one of the eight-round bouts.

 

The two ShoBox returnees will box in the eight-round telecast opener when Kazakhstan’s devastating junior welterweight Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Eyubov (10-0, 10 KOs), de Brooklyn, N. Y., takes on Liberia-born Samuel Seah (7-1-1, 2 KOs), de Philadelphie, Pennsylvanie.

Six of the fighters, all seeking to establish their credibility and make a name for themselves, are newcomers to the network and will be making their ShoBox debuts on a four-fight telecast that has a distinct international flavor (two Americans, two Russians, one Romanian, one from Kazakhstan, one Dominican and one from Liberia).

Tickets for the event presented by Salita Promotions in association with AASHA Record Breakers are currently on sale and can be purchased at the Turning Stone Resort Casino Box Office, en appelant le 877.833.SHOW, ou en ligne sur Ticketmaster.com. Les billets sont au prix de $60 pour les premières loges, $35 et $25.

The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, Russie, est classé 10e dans l'IBF. Extremely rare for a fighter at this point in his career, he’s already gone 10 rounds five times and 12 rounds once against good opposition. This is his second start in the United States since signing with Salita Promotions in June 2015. The 5-foot-4, 26-year-old is coming off a shutout 10-round decision over Pedro Melo dernier Octobre. 29 à Brooklyn.

 

An outstanding amateur with international success, Potapov had around 200 fights before he turned pro in March 2010. Il est allé 13-0 as a pro in Russia. In his outing before last – and last in his homeland — he produced perhaps a career-best performance while winning a unanimous 12-round decision over then-IBF No. 10-classé Jasoin Canoy, le nov. 8, 2015.

“I’ve been training very hard to make my ShoBox debut a spectacular one,’’ Potapov said. “This will be my second fight in New York against a very skilled boxer in Stephon Young, who is undefeated like me. I look forward to a great competitive fight and I’m putting in my work to come out on top.’’

 

Young is a talented, lightning-fast-handed southpaw who’s done more than enough to deserve his standing as a rising star in the Midwest. He’s making his 2016 and 10-round debut.

 

Like Potapov, Young was a top-notch amateur. He compiled a record of 86-13 while representing the United States in many tournaments. In theU.S. Olympic Trials in 2011, he lost to the No. 1-rated amateur,Rau'shee Warren.

 

His pedigree solid and after years of having “celebrated amateur” permanently affixed to his name, Young turned pro in August 2011.The 5-foot-5, 27-year-old has gone eight rounds once and six rounds on four occasions. He’s coming off a third-round TKO over Terrance Roydernier Août. 8 and by far his toughest task, Young boxed unbeaten Antonio Nieves to an eight-round draw on June 20, 2015.

 

Young hasn’t fought near the caliber of fighters as Potapov but he’s excited and optimistic about Avril 15. “This is a great opportunity for me, going up against another undefeated fighter in front of the world onShoBox,’’ Young said. “You can’t pass up an opportunity like that. Formation se passe très bien. I’m training with some of the top notch fighters in the world like Juan Carlos Payano, Claudio Marrero et Yenifel Vicente.

“I know little about my opponent, but what I know makes me feel like we are the perfect match. We both have good records and we are both good fighters, but once I bring my A game, he’d be helpless. I will be watching all my P’s and Q’s. Once you get me in that zone I have no doubt I will win.’’

Bernardo, a 29-year-old with a million-dollar smile – and a punch to match — has registered knockouts in nine of his last 10 combats. In Menard, he’s facing unquestionably the most seasoned foe of his career. This is Bernardo’s fourth U.S. start and second in a row. He’s coming off a clinically ruthless second-round demolition of Ben Odametey dernier Février. 6 à Detroit, moi.

 

Born and raised in Santo Domingo, République Dominicaine, Bernardo had an extensive amateur career (128 combats) before turning pro in October 2009. He captured the Dominican Republic Lightweight Title in his fourth start. Tall for his division at 5-foot-10½, Bernardo is aggressive, technically sound and possesses two-fisted power.

“With him being 30-1, beating Mason Menard will take me to the next level, exactly where I want to go,’’ said Bernardo, who trains in Houston with former world champion Frank Tate. “I’m excited about this fight onShoBox because it’s a good opportunity for America to get to know me. Formation va très bien. Every day I am learning. My diet is terrific. My whole team is with me, pushing me to get better.’’

Menard, former Louisiana State and UBO All-Americas Lightweight Champion, is a pressure and hard-punching fighter who’s won 28 dans une rangée.

He has fought all but one of his fights in Louisiana and this will be his second start en 21 mois. In his most recent effort, il se arrêta Jesus Lule-Raya in the first round on Aug. 8, 2015.

 

While inactivity could pose a problem, Menard is primed for Bernardo. Nobody, dit-il, is going to deter him from his aspirations of making it to the top.

 

“It’s blessing to me to be able to fight and showcase my talent on SHOWTIME,’’ said Menard, who has weighed at or around 135 pounds throughout a pro career that began in October 2007. “It’s been a part of a dream of mine to do so and to one day fight for a major world title. SurAvril 15, Bernardo stands between me and my dreams. It’s all or nothing. It’s rise or lay down. Avril 15 is the day I’ll be able to be known as a real legit fighter. I WILL NOT let this guy stop me from accomplishing any of those things. Quote me, I will give it my all, I will rise, I will be known and I will be world champion.’’

 

Zubov, a sensational former international amateur standout and seven-time cruiserweight tournament champion in Russia and Europe, turned pro in April 2014. His first five fights were in the U.S. – four in California and one in Brooklyn. He won all but one inside the distance.

 

The 6-foot-1½-inch 30-year-old will be making his 2016 debut after fighting four times in 2015 et six fois dans 2014. Zubov’s last five fights were in Russia; he is coming off a first-round TKO over Rihards Bigisdernier Novembre. 29.

Zubov was born and raised in Magnitogorsk, a city which isn’t exactly a fistic hotbed. Getting into boxing was hardly common for his corner of the world. He didn’t grow up in a nasty neighborhood or fighting in the streets. En fait, he has a profound mathematical background, having attended a special school that concentrated on physics and mathematics. But while his first sport was hockey, he took to boxing.

Regarding his upcoming skirmish, Zubov said, “I spent several weeks training at the Kronk Boxing Gym with Javan ‘Sugar’ Hill in Detroit for my ShoBox début. I learn every day in the gym and look forward to putting my knowledge to use Avril 15 sur ShoBox. I want to follow in the footsteps of all the great Kronk fighters.’’

Bejenaru a Moldovan-born fighting out of Catskill, N. Y., en est à sa 2016 début. Since moving to the U.S., the 5-foot-10, 31-year-old southpaw is 10-0 avec 1 No Contest dating to September 2012. Dans sa dernière sortie, he won a unanimous eight-round decision over Joel Shojgreen du oct. 14, 2015.

“I know Zubov is a good fighter. I am training very hard and have been waiting for an opportunity like this so people can see just what I can do,’’ said Bejenaru, who was born in a Moldovia, a small land-locked country in Eastern Europe. “I am ready to go and very excited about this fight.’’

 

Comme un amateur, Bejenaru won a bronze medal at the 2006 Championnats d'Europe de boxe amateur, multiple medals at the European Union Amateur Boxing Championships and the Gold Medal at the 2010 World Combat Games.

 

Yeyubov, 29, of Astana, Kazahstan, has fought a total of 16 rounds in his 10 fights since going pro in February 2012. A one-main offensive juggernaut, he’s scored six first-round knockouts, two second-round knockouts and two third-round knockouts. This will be his ninth fight in the U.S.

 

Dans son ShoBox debut in his last start this past Jan. 22, Eyubov droppedJared Robinson, three times en route to a third-round TKO (0:56).

 

“I’m honored to be back on ShoBox,’’ said the 5-foot-6 Eyubov who’s promoted by Salita Promotions. “I went back home to Kazakhstan after my last fight and came back with more inspiration and motivation to be the best fighter in the world. I am training very hard every day in New York City and look forward to putting on a show Avril 15. My gratitude toShoBox for giving a young upcoming fighter like me the opportunity to showcase his skills against the best possible opponents on national TV in the U.S. It’s just amazing.’’

Eyubov got into boxing the hard way. “I used to live in a very bad neighborhood and would constantly get into street fights. I’m not a big guy so I started boxing to learn to defend myself,'' At-il dit. “I had over 150 combats amateurs. I won about 125-130, most were by knockout. I beat Olympic champions and international champions, but I was not allowed to travel. It might have been because of where I come from – they didn’t have political connections. They’d tell me, ‘Win by knockout, or you’re not going to win.’ I had to fight heavier guys sometimes. But I was so rough and hit so hard, I’d ruin some of their best fighters at my weight.’’

 

Ouais, une 5-7, 28-ans, a remporté son ShoBox and eight-round debut lastNovembre. 6 with an upset, unanimous decision over previously undefeatedO'Shanique Foster. Teah outpointed Foster, who would go on to win his ensuring start on ShoBox.

 

“It’s a privilege and honor to be facing Eyubov on SHOWTIME,’’ said Teah, who’s coming off an eight-round draw against Demond Brock dernier Jan. 22. “I don’t know much about him. I know he’s from Kazakhstan with a perfect record. He fought last time I fought on the same card, but I didn’t get to see him and he didn’t get to see me. Now we get to fight each other. When I got the call I was in the gym already, just not in a fight mindset. Now it’s just matter of turning up the intensity and getting ready for an aggressive opponent and getting my fight mindset going.’’

 

Ouais, who was born in Liberia, fled with his family to Ghana, where his father’s from, to escape the civil war when Sam was a youngster. The family’s been in the U.S. since he was 10.
