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

A familiar name, especially to the local boxing fans, will make his first ring appearance in just under five years ביום שישי הקרוב night in his own hometown of Niagara Falls, ניו יורק.
Former red-hot prospect NickHands of GoldCasal (22-4-1, 17 קוס) says he’s expecting some rust, but should have enough to overcome when he takes on 37-fight veteran Antonio Chaves Fernandez of Brockton, מסצ'וסטס, in one of the untelevised supporting bouts at the Seneca Niagara Resort & קזינו. The fight will be Casal’s first at home as a professional.
In the night’s 10-round main event, WBO #11-, WBA #12- and IBF #15-rated heavyweight boxer Jarrell “ביג בייבי” טָחֶן (16-0-1, 14 קוס), defends his WBA NABA Heavyweight title against Topeka, קנזס, slugger Nick Guivas (12-3-2, 9 קוס). And in the 10-round lightweight semi-final, red-hot Filipino prospect HarmonitoEl Huracan de Gensan” Dela Torre (17-0, 12 קוס) will make his debut on US soil against capable veteran Guillermo Sanchez (15-18-1, 6 קוס) של באפלו.
Presented by Greg Cohen Promotions, מבצעי סליטה, FightCard Productions and Winner Take All Productions, “אליפות אגרוף ברשת CBS ספורט” will be broadcast live nationally at 9 pm EST.
כרטיסים ל “אליפות אגרוף ברשת CBS ספורט” מתחיל ב $35 and are available at the Seneca Niagara Resort & קופת קזינו,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 ל 2009. מאז, 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 waswith a few improvements.
“מבחינה פיזית, I feel exactly the same as I did five years ago. נפשי, 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, I’ll be 100% מוכן. I’ve just been waiting for the right guy to help me get to where I want to be. Looks like I found him.
במוצאי מאבק, דלתות פתוחות ב 6 pm והפעולה מתחילה ב 7:00 pm. The Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino is located at 310 4רחוב ה במפלי הניאגרה, ניו יורק. לקבלת מידע נוסף, שיחה 877-873-6322 או ביקור www.senecaniagaracasino.com.

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

 

אנדרו 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 fansיום שישי לילה.

 

“Everything has been perfect. מחנה אימונים כבר הולך נהדר. 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.

 

“I can’t wait. 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.

 

קית טאפיה

 

“Fighting Tabiti is a great, real challenge. I like the way he fights. אני מכבד אותו, 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. אני? אני בא להילחם, 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.

 

"בשבילי, 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. הוא טוב, long-ranging southpaw. We are actually around the same age; we were in the amateurs at the same time, but never fought each other.יום שישי, 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, למען הכנות. 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.

 

אייזיאה תומאס

 

"יום שישי 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 של יום שישי כרטיס. 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.

 

"אני יודע מה אני יכול לעשות, 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. סופו של דבר, and in due time, למרות ש.

 

"יום שישי, I’m just going to do what I do best. כמובן, 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.”

 

רונלד גבריל

 

“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.

 

"מחנה האימונים עבר מצוין, 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

 

"מחנה האימונים עבר מצוין, I have been training for seven weeks now. I’m currently training in Miami, פלורידה.

 

“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 קרבות חובבים, it is tough to say whether Gavril is a step up for me, until I step into the ring ביום שישי הקרוב.

 

“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. אני מצפה ללחימתו.

 

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

 

“I consider myself a puncher. Once the bell rings, אני בא להילחם.

 

“I’m happy with the way things are going. אני מתאמן קשה כל יום. I’m coming to take all the titles. This is my weight, around 143 קילו. 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

 

"מחנה אימונים היה נהדר; 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, אריזונה.

 

“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.

I think the matchups on this card will do just that.
The highly regarded 26-year-old Chicago native Tabiti, נלחם מתוך לאס וגאס, עושה 2016 הבכורה. הוא זכה 11 שלו 12 fights inside the distance, including a second-round TKO over Tomas Lodi on September 29, 2015.

VERONA, N.Y.. (אפריל 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects ניקולאי פוטאפוב ו Stephon צעיר fought to a majority draw in theShoBox: הדור החדש אירוע מרכזי יום שישי on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..

 

The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 פעמיים.

 

Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. פוטאפוב (14-0-1, 6 קוס) 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, צעיר (14-0-3, 6 קוס) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. אבל, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10ה 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,אמר פוטפוב, שזרק 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.”

 

אחרי הקרב, 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 קוס) 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 קוס) out before he even hit the canvas.

 

“I made a statement הלילה. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 אחוזים מיריות כוחו. “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.”

 

ברנרדו, 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.

Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, בז'נארו (11-0, 4 קוס) שלט במאבק מלכתחילה. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. שיניים (10-1, 6 קוס) 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 146ה ו 147ה boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

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

BROOKLYN, ניו יורק (אפריל 12, 2016) – As a kid growing up in Magnitogorsk, רוסיה,cruiserweight אלכסיי זובוב 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 … והשאר היסטוריה.
זה יום שישי, אפריל 15, the undefeated Zubov (10-0, 6 קוס) will face Mandilesti, Moldova’s קונסטנטין בז'נארו (10-0, 4 קוס, WSB: 0-1-1) in the eight-round opener of an internationally televised ShoBox: הדור החדש live on SHOWTME (10 p.m. ו/PT, עיכוב בחוף המערבי) בקזינו סטון Resort הפיכה בוורונה, ניו יורק.

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,” אמר זובוב. “Every Russian fighter knows about Kronk Gym and Emanuel Steward.
Zubov is currently winding down camp with his trainer and Steward’s nephew Javan “סוכר” היל בחדר הכושר קרונק המתחדש. “I like Javan’s style,” אמר זובוב, “and I’ve learned so much about hand speed and footwork and about using intelligence in the ringhow you need to think when you’re in a fight.
Alexey is able to learn a lot and absorb boxing knowledge easily,” סעיד היל. “He barely speaks English and yet he soaks it in. It’s amazing. I brought him in to spar with Banks and when we were training, Alexey just sat on the side and watched. מאוחר יותר, 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. אני 100 אחוזים מוכנים,” אמר זובוב. “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.

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).

The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, רוסיה, מדורגת 10ה בIBF. 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 פדרו מלו אחרון אוקטובר. 29 בברוקלין.

 

An outstanding amateur with international success, Potapov had around 200 fights before he turned pro in March 2010. הוא הלך 13-0 as a pro in Russia. In his outing before last – and last in his homelandhe produced perhaps a career-best performance while winning a unanimous 12-round decision over then-IBF No. 10-מדורג Jasoin Canoy, בתאריך 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. ניסויים אולימפיים ב 2011, he lost to the No. 1-rated amateur,ראושי וורן.

 

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 Royאחרון Aug. 8 and by far his toughest task, Young boxed unbeaten אנטוניו 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 אפריל 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. ההדרכה הולכת נהדרת. I’m training with some of the top notch fighters in the world like חואן קרלוס פייאנו, קלאודיו מרר ו 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.’’

ברנרדו, a 29-year-old with a million-dollar smile – and a punch to matchhas registered knockouts in nine of his last 10 קרבות. 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 אחרון פבואר. 6 בדטרויט, לי.

 

Born and raised in Santo Domingo, רפובליקה הדומיניקנית, Bernardo had an extensive amateur career (128 קרבות) 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 פרנק טייט. “I’m excited about this fight onShoBox because it’s a good opportunity for America to get to know me. הדרכה הולכת טובה מאוד. Every day I am learning. My diet is terrific. My whole team is with me, pushing me to get better.’’

מנארד, former Louisiana State and UBO All-Americas Lightweight Champion, is a pressure and hard-punching fighter who’s won 28 in a row.

He has fought all but one of his fights in Louisiana and this will be his second start ב 21 חודשים. In his most recent effort, הוא הפסיק Jesus Lule-Raya in the first round on Aug. 8, 2015.

 

While inactivity could pose a problem, Menard is primed for Bernardo. Nobody, הוא אומר, 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. באפריל 15, Bernardo stands between me and my dreams. It’s all or nothing. It’s rise or lay down. אפריל 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.’’

 

שיניים, 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 ושש פעמים ב 2014. Zubov’s last five fights were in Russia; he is coming off a first-round TKO over Rihards Bigisאחרון נובמבר. 29.

He didn’t grow up in a nasty neighborhood or fighting in the streets. למעשה, 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 הבכורה. I learn every day in the gym and look forward to putting my knowledge to use אפריל 15 ב ShoBox. I want to follow in the footsteps of all the great Kronk fighters.’’

Bejenaru a Moldovan-born fighting out of Catskill, N.Y., עושה 2016 הבכורה. Since moving to the U.S., 5 מטר 10, 31-year-old southpaw is 10-0 עם 1 No Contest dating to September 2012. בטיול האחרון שלו, he won a unanimous eight-round decision over Joel Shojgreen על אוקטובר. 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.’’

 

כחובבן, Bejenaru won a bronze medal at the 2006 European Amateur Boxing Championships, 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.

I am training very hard every day in New York City and look forward to putting on a show אפריל 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,'' הוא אמר. “I had over 150 קרבות חובבים. 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.’’

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.’’

As for Jerry Odom, he fought a great fight and it was very close. Once again his fight was filled with action and he earned another opportunity to compete against anybody at 168 קילו. He shows the heart of a fighter and doesn’t turn down anybody. He will be back in another good fight in the next couple months.
O’Shaquie showed everyone that his fight in November was just a bad night. He has a ton of ability and he put on a great performance. He is back on track and we still envision huge things for him.
Frometa is a prospect that has great natural ability and he will be stepping up the opposition with each fight. He comes from the Cuban amateur system, and he fits into what GH3 Promotions is about and that is developing fighters and have them prepared to fight big fights when the are ready.
