Live At 10 p.m. ET/PT From Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Измиване.



NEW YORK - Може 30, 2019 – Two top undefeated heavyweight prospects will put their unblemished records on the line when they fight in separate bouts on ShoBox: Новото поколение Петък, Юли 12 live on SHOWTIME from Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Измиване.



Top American heavyweight prospect Джърмейн Франклин returns for his second consecutive test of 2018 на ShoBox against the streaking Jerry Forrest in the 10-round headliner. В съвместно черта схватката, undefeated Swedish heavyweight and top-10 ranked contender Ото Уолин will battle former world title challenger BJ Flores in a 10-round clash on the seventh ShoBox телевизията на 2019.



“The heavyweight division is the strongest it’s been in a generation with a number of new faces looking to position themselves for an eventual title shot,- каза Гордън Хол, Изпълнителен продуцент на ShoBox. “Otto Wallin is on the doorstep based on his rankings in the top 10 but he needs that statement win to get there. BJ Flores is not coming to test Wallin. He is coming to win and feels he has what it takes to teach Wallin a lesson.



“Jermaine Franklin is the best American heavyweight prospect and, at only 25 възраст, still has a ton of growth potential. He passed his first test on ShoBox in April and we look forward to getting a second look at him in another step-up fight. Forrest is far more experienced than Franklin. This will be his fifth fight of 2019, and he is fully aware of what a win will do for his career.”



Билети за събитието, which is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with Brian Halquist Productions, go on sale Saturday, Юни 1 and are available via Ticketmaster and the Emerald Queen Box Office.



“This is an exciting time for the heavyweight division and on July 12 boxing fans will have an opportunity to witness two of the division’s best new faces in significant tests,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “Jermaine Franklin’s goal is to be an American heavyweight world champion, and an impressive performance in a tough matchup with Jerry Forrest will be a significant step in his quest to the title.



“Otto Wallin is an example of what happens when you combine dreams and hard work. He grew up in a small town in Sweden and aims to challenge for the heavyweight world title and follow in the footsteps of Ingemar Johansson. Otto is fighting a proven veteran in BJ Flores who’s only losses have been in world title fights, so I expect it will be an exciting matchup from the opening bell.”



The 25-year-old Franklin (18-0, 13 Нокаута), from Saginaw, Mich., is a former amateur standout and a 2014 Национален шампион за златни ръкавици. A likely candidate to represent the U.S. в 2016 Олимпийски игри, Franklin turned down the opportunity to compete for a spot on the team and instead chose to begin his professional career in 2015. Widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, Franklin has built his undefeated record with relative ease since turning pro, knocking out nine of his first 10 professional opponents. Franklin made his SHOWTIME debut in the co-featured bout of the Claressa Shields vs. Christina Hammer event in April, earning a unanimous decision over former No. 1-класира САЩ. аматьор Rydell Booker.



“In my SHOWTIME debut earlier this year, I felt I could have put on a better show but I won and that’s most important,” Franklin said. “Winning this fight is an important step toward my dreams of fighting for a heavyweight championship. This fight also is a chance for the fans to see me more focused and prepared. Jerry Forrest has been around the game for a while and he brings a lot of skills to the ring. I will be ready for him.”



Forrest (25-2, 19 Нокаута), от Newport News, Va., has won eighteen consecutive bouts since dropping back-to-back contests to world title challenger Gerald Washington and Michael Hunter, whose only professional loss came to former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Forrest, a 6-foot-1 southpaw, scored an eight-round unanimous decision over Joshua Tufte his last time out in April.



“This is a long time coming for me,” said Forrest. “My record and my potential are definitely worthy to fight in the main event on national television. This is where I should be. I’m very comfortable and I’m not at all overwhelmed. I’ve fought in the Nationals and big tournaments and I’m not afraid of the spotlight. Franklin throws a lot of punches and tries to bully you out. He’s not super accurate from what I see. He’s a heavyweight who will try to outwork you. I see him as a very similar fighter to Andy Ruiz. My training is going great, I haven’t been out of shape in two years. I’ve been in the gym grinding and doing it old school.”



Уолин (20-0, 13 Нокаута, 1 ND) прави своя U.S. debut on SHOWTIME in April, also on the undercard of Shields-Hammer, but his fight with Nick Kisner was cut short after an accidental headbutt left Kisner unable to continue, resulting in a No Decision. The 6-foot-5 Wallin turned pro in 2013 and has gradually risen in the rankings by recording 20 straight wins in Europe prior to his American debut. The 28-year-old southpaw won the Swedish Boxing Championship at 16-years-old, fought against Anthony Joshua twice as an amateur and was a member of the Swedish National Boxing Team. Currently ranked in the top-ten by both the WBA and IBF, Wallin now has his sights set on becoming his country’s first Heavyweight Champion since Ingemar Johansson in 1960.



“My U.S. debut did not go the way I had hoped and I didn’t get a chance to show off my skills,- каза Уолин. “I’m really looking forward to going out there again getting a chance to show a lot more. This is a fight I need to win if I want to go somewhere. I need to win and I need to look good doing it. I need to be sharp at all times and not take anything for granted. This is a sport where everything can change in the blink of an eye.”



Цветя (34-4-1, 21 Нокаута) Оказа про в 2003 and has enjoyed a long, successful career competing mostly as a cruiserweight. Undefeated through the first seven years and 25 битки на кариерата си, Flores suffered his first setback when he traveled to Australia to challenge Danny Green for his IBO Cruiserweight world title, dropping a unanimous decision. The Arizona native bounced back by winning eight of his next nine fights before getting a second chance at a world title, again traveling to his opponent’s hometown. Този път, Flores was stopped by WBC Cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew in Liverpool. Flores has since moved to heavyweight, where he has won two of his three fights.



“Not only is this a winnable fight for me, Аз съм 100 percent winning this,” said Flores. “I’m working with [обучители] Angel Heredia and Ibn Cason and world class heavyweight Kubrat Pulev. Working with this team is perfect for getting my strength and conditioning up for this fight, and sparring with one of the top guys in the world in Pulev is making me very sharp. I know Wallin is undefeated and has a good amateur style. He’s tall and has good boxing ability. I know he’s got some talent and is a young up and coming guy. He’ll be trying to make a name for himself off of my name, so I’ll be ready for that.”



Бари Томпкинс ще извика екшъна от ринга заедно с историка на бокса Стив Фардъти и бившия световен шампион Раул Маркес, служещи като експертни анализатори. Изпълнителният продуцент е Gordon Hall с Ричард Gaughan производство и Rick Phillips режисура.

КОРОНА, Халиф. - Може 10, 2019 – Undefeated prospect Ruben Villa stayed true to his calm and consistent style, recording a unanimous decision over Luis Alberto Lopez in his first main-event appearance on ShoBox: Новото поколение Friday from Omega Products Events Center in Corona, Халиф.



The judges’ scorecards read 98-92, 97-93 и 96-94 in the featherweight bout, although all three ShoBox commentators had Villa winning each round except the 10тата кръг, giving the final round to Lopez (17-2, 8 Нокаута) in a fight that saw nearly 1,400 punches thrown.



“I give myself a ‘C’ grade,- каза Вила, making his second consecutive ShoBox вид. “He was a tough opponent and had a real awkward style and wasn’t really a boxer. It took me awhile to adjust to him and it was hard not to get frustrated.”



Taken the 10-round distance for the first time in his career, the 22-year-old Villa (16-0, 5 Нокаута) на Салинас, Калифорния., took the first two rounds to get used to the top-15 ranked contender Lopez’s awkward style before he began landing heavy body shots to dominate the third round.



In the seventh round, Villa out-jabbed Lopez and continued the onslaught of body punches in the ninth round, but was not able to get the knockout against the game Lopez.



“I agreed with the judges’ scorecards,” the two-time National Golden Gloves Amateur Champion Villa said. “I still got the unanimous decision win so I have no problem with that. I can take a whole lot from this fight tonight.”



Lopez was coming off an upset victory over Ray Ximenez in his U.S. debut in February but could not repeat the feat against the highly regarded Villa.



“I hit him with the better shots,” Lopez said. “I was consistently throwing and landing the power shots while he was just jabbing. Аз се чувствах добре. It’s a complicated to fight a lefty, but I thought I landed the punches that scored.”



В съвместно функцията, undefeated 21-year-old rising prospect Michael Dutchover (13-0, 10 Нокаута) made quick work of late replacement Rosekie Cristobal (15-4, 11 Нокаута) на Филипините, connecting on a right-left combination to Cristobal’s liver that sent him to both knees before being counted out by referee Zachary Young at 1:46 of the first round of a scheduled eight-round super lightweight contest.



В своята ShoBox дебют, Dutchover of Santa Fe Springs, Калифорния., by way of Midland, Texas, recorded six body connects among his 11 landed power punches in the fight that lasted just 109 секунди.



“I have to be able to adjust,” said Dutchover, a runner-up at the 2016 National Golden Gloves and a bronze medalist in the 2016 Олимпийските квалификанти. “I was given a tall lefty on short notice due to the original opponent dropping out. Part of being a professional is being able to adapt. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before. I’ve seen pretty much every style through the amateurs and now during sparring sessions as a pro.”



Dutchover added: “I was patient and waited for the open shots. He wasn’t covering up the body so that was my target. The plan from the beginning was to break him down. I’m just happy I was able to end it early and give the fans something to talk about.”



В схватката отваряне на tripleheader, undefeated bantamweight prospect Saul Sanchez (12-0, 7 Нокаута) recorded an eighth-round knockout against Brandon Benitez (14-2, 6 Нокаута) in an entertaining and all-action fight.



After an even first round, Sanchez and Benitez continued to trade shots over the first three rounds before Benitez’s legs began to betray him and he tired midway through the fourth, slowing the pace of the fight considerably. Sanchez, of North Hollywood, Калифорния., landed three huge punches that staggered Benitez as the fourth round came to a close, stoking the undefeated prospect with confidence as the fight reached progressed to the later rounds.



In the seventh round, Mexico’s Benitez suffered an injury over his right eye from a Sanchez punch, and referee Raul Caiz Jr. warned Benitez prior to the eight round to protect himself. At the start of the eighth round, a flush right hand by the 21-year-old Sanchez connected cleanly and Caiz Jr. stepped in and stopped the fight after just 18 секунди.



“I felt strong throughout the fight,” Sanchez said. “Benitez was tough so I had to be careful and aggressive at the same time. I know I hurt him a handful of times, but I know I can do better. My conditioning was great. I was ready to go the distance.”



Sanchez out-landed the 21-year-old Benitez 145-94 overall and 123-78 in power connects while landing 42 percent of his power shots to Benitez’s 29 на сто.



“I was responding well in every round,” said Benitez from Queretaro, Мексико. “I don’t know why the referee stopped it. I had a lot more left. I’m just disappointed I wasn’t allowed to finish the fight.”



Middleweight contender and 2018 champion of The Contender champion Brandon Adams was interviewed during Friday’s telecast to discuss his June 29 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP Бокс® showdown with undefeated Jermall Charlo, which was announced earlier on Friday.



“I’m a new face,” Adams told Hall of Famer Steve Farhood. “I’m in the top 10. I’m in the discussion and I think that’s enough to shake everything up. The guy that comes out to nowhere is a great story for boxing.



“I hope I get the best Charlo because I’m bringing the best ‘Cannon.’ I’m very fan friendly and I definitely go for the kill. When I get in the ring I like to entertain myself. I’m very much looking forward to fighting Charlo. It’s going to be exciting.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. The full telecastwill replay on Monday, Май 12 при 10 p.m. ET / PT на SHOWTIME EXTREME и ще бъде на разположение на SHOWTIME ANYTIME® и SHOWTIME по DEMAND®.

My opponent is 17-1, and he has won some regional titles. He is no stick in the mud. I know he comes forward and that should make for an exciting fight. I am looking to put on a great performance because I know a win will open doors for bigger fights.”

Chilean-born Mascarena, who currently resides in Tijuana, Mexico and trains in San Diego, Калифорния., Оказа про в 2017 and has compiled a perfect record through his first ten contests—all within just 12 месеца.

“I’ve always dreamed of having an opportunity like this,- каза Санчес. “To fight on national television against a tough guy like Benitez. I know this fight will not be easy, но аз съм готов. I will shine on May 10.”



Benitez, from Queretaro, Мексико, has stayed busy in late 2018 and early 2019, fighting four times in a span of six months. The 21-year-old, who fought 186 times as an amateur, is the lone blemish on featherweight prospect Chaise Nelson’s resume. Benitez has won five fights in a row since the only loss of his career, which came to then 10-0 and current 20-0 Mexican Irving Turrubiartes.



“I’m young and hungry and I know Saul Sanchez is a great opponent for me, but I’m not concerned about him,” said Benitez. “I don’t think he does anything special in the ring. Правя, I’m confident I will win. I’m going for the KO.”

It’s about pushing young prospects outside of their comfort zone, matching them tough and discovering the next generation of champions in the process. I look forward to see whether or not Leo, Martinez and Cortes will rise to the occasion.”



Originally from New Mexico and currently residing in Las Vegas, Лъв, 24, recorded a unanimous decision over Alberto Torres in his 2019 debut on the non-televised undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz. Лъв, who started boxing when he was eight, amassed a notable amateur resume, winning the state Golden Gloves and Jr. Golden Gloves Championships before turning pro at 18. Leo debuted under the Mayweather Promotions banner in November of 2017 with a fourth-round knockout of Dominican Republic’s Yasmaly Basilio Peguero-Nieves.



“This fight came to me at the perfect time,” said Leo, who has fought four of his last six bouts at Sam’s Town Live. “I’m in great condition coming off my recent fight last month. I think Tabanao is good fighter and a good counter-puncher. He fought good competition and he went the distance with a former world champion, so I know I have a tough fight ahead. He is a dangerous fighter but I have a solid plan. I have a unique style and I think I bring a lot to the table with my speed, angles and body shots. Fans should expect an exciting fight on April 5.”



Tabanao, 24, made his pro debut in 2012 in his home country of the Philippines. He will make his United States debut next month as he looks to move up the super bantamweight ranks. Tabanao won the WBO Oriental Featherweight Title in 2016 with a third-round technical knockout of Ibrahim Balla. In his next fight, Tabanao lost the belt when he dropped a unanimous decision to Isaac Dogboe, who would go on to become the WBO Super Bantamweight World Champion. Tabanao suffered two consecutive defeats after losing to Dogboe but has admirably rebounded by winning his last four bouts.



My trainer Sonny Dollente is working hard to prepare me for this fight,” said Tabanao. “We know this is our first fight in the States and TV debut, so we are working especially hard to put on a great performance and we thank Mayweather Promotions for this opportunity. Angelo Leo is a good fighter but we have a good strategy. It has always been my dream to represent The Philippines and to be known as a great boxer. This fight will bring me one step closer to my dream.”



Martinez, Сакраменто, Калифорния., is best known for his crafty and powerful fighting style and is regarded by many as a prospect to watch. After losing his first two amateur fights, he amassed a record of 88-10. He won the Jr. Golden Gloves in 2010, състезаваха в 2012 и 2013 Nationals Championships and was ranked No. 3 amateur in the country in 2013. He turned pro in Mexico at 17 and joined the Mayweather Promotions team in late 2016 with a unanimous decision win over Wilfredo Garriga at Sam’s Town Live. He’s coming off five straight knockout victories, with his most recent being an impressive fifth-round knockout against Deivi Julio Bassa on February 9. Martinez is looking for a statement victory over Moralde to assert his pedigree in the 130-pound division.







“It feels great to get back in the ring,” said Martinez. “I’m happy Mayweather Promotions found another great matchup for me, and on national television. Now it’s time for me to do my part as a fighter by training hard and getting the win. I came in to training camp with a fresh mindset and ready to go to war. I’m ready for whatever Moralde brings to the table. I don’t know much about him other than he has the guts to fight me. I heard two opponents said, ’No,’ to this fight because they didn’t want to face me.”



Moralde, who made his pro debut in 2011 as a 17-year-old, will see his toughest test to date when he meets rising star Martinez. Hailing from Davao del Sur in the Philippines, Moralde, кой е 2-2 в последните си четири двубоя, is looking to redeem himself in this pivotal matchup. Неговата U.S. дебют в 2017 didn’t go as planned as he was handed the first loss of his career at the hands of Toka Khan Clary. He rebounded quickly against Ismail Muwendo but lost by decision against Jamel Herring in his next fight. He scored a second-round knockout victory over Elmer Colve in his last outing.

“It feels great to have another opportunity to put my skills on display for the world to see on national TV,” said Moralde. “I’m up against a tough fighter; we both have a tough fight ahead. Аз трябва да направи изявление. This is the fight that will get me where I want to go. I want to fight the toughest and I’m ready to face anyone they put in front of me.”

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Кортес, 22, fell in love with the sweet science at an early age as he watched his brother Luis at the gym. He started training at Elite Boxing Gym when he was six, alongside Juan Heraldez and Andrew Tabiti, who would later become his Mayweather Promotions stablemates. He had a reported record of 130-20 as an amateur and turned pro in 2016. He caught the attention of Floyd Mayweather while sparring with lightweight champion Gervonta Davis. Cortes joined Mayweather Promotions soon after. He has won four of his last six fights by knockout including his last outing against Eder Amaro Fajardo on January 17. С победа, Cortes will be one step closer to becoming a legitimate contender.



“I’ve only taken off one week from the gym since my last fight in January,” said Cortes. "Чувствам се страхотно. Аз съм 100 percent prepared for whatever my opponent brings my way. I’ve been working on my power and my strength with my conditioning coach and overall development as a fighter. I’m ready for my next challenge.”



Baltimore’s Dyer, 27, picked up boxing at 19 and after a brief amateur career turned pro in March of 2017. He scored an impressive 22-second first-round knockout of Dwayne Martin in just his third professional bout. He was named 2017 Rookie of the Year by Boxing Along the Beltway, a Washington, D.C. boxing publication, and has won five fights in a row, most recently against promising undefeated prospect Carlos Dixon.



I’m coming fresh off a fight so I’m still in great shape,” said Dyer. “Andres Cortes is a good fighter, но аз съм по-добър боец. I’m training to go a full eight rounds, but if I find an opportunity before then, Отивам да го взема. I’ve been waiting for a chance to show the world how good of a fighter I am, и това е. This is my time to show the world who I am.”

SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV OUTLASTS MYKAL FOX IN UNANIMOUS DECISION WIN IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: НОВОТО ПОКОЛЕНИЕ ПЕТЪК НА SHOWTIME®

Mulvane, Май. - февруари 15, 2019 – Shohjahon Ergashev overcame a five and a half-inch height advantage recording a unanimous decision victory over fellow undefeated prospect Mykal Fox in the 10-round super lightweight main event of ShoBox: Новото поколение Friday on SHOWTIME from the Kansas Star Casino.



With famed trainer Sugarhill Stewart shouting instructions from his corner, the Detroit-based power-punching Ergashev (16-0, 14 Нокаута), by way of Fergana, Узбекистан, did enough to beat the rangy 6-foot-4 Fox (19-1, 5 Нокаута) in a matchup of two exciting undefeated prospects. Резултатите бяха 96-94 и 98-92 два пъти (Кликнете ТУК да гледате).



“I didn’t think it was a close fight,", Каза Ergashev, who was only able to land two jabs the entire fight missing more than a hundred times. “He was awkward and his head was very low. He was very long and tall too, so it was hard to hit him in the head. I expected him to run all fight and he did.”



Ergashev did connect on 29 процента на Неговата сила удари (66 за 225) compared to Fox at 27 на сто (41 за 153).



Ergashev said he was disappointed in his performance. “I come to fight,"Той каза. “I like fighters who stand and fight. Аз съм боец. I like guys who let me showcase my skills and bang. Fox wasn’t even boxing. He was just running around the ring. I wanted to sit down and fight.”



The 23-year-old Fox of Forest Hill, Md., one of the tallest fighters in the 140-pound division, said he agreed with one of the judges’ cards, but not the two 98-92s. “I knew it was close, and thought maybe I did enough to win,” said Fox, who did a nice job slowing the pace of the fight. “I think it was closer than 98-92. I took a few shots, but I knew he was going to be strong.”



Fox became the 186тата fighter to lose their undefeated record on the prospect developmental series.



Лисица, who had his father Troy and brother and fellow professional boxer middleweight Alantez in his corner, became the ninth fighter in ShoBox history to have a brother who also fought on ShoBox joining brother duos like Jermall and Jermell Charlo, Andre and Anthony Dirrell and Glenn and Nonito Donaire.



При откриването схватката на телевизията, England’s Thomas Ward (26-0, 4 Нокаута) put on an impressive performance and showed U.S. fight fans he will be a force to be reckoned with in the wide-open 122-pound weight class as he won a unanimous decision against ShoBox veteran Jesse Hernandez (11-2, 7 Нокаута).Кликнете ТУК to watch a recap.



Fighting for the first time in the States, WBO No.. 4-ranked Ward of West Rainton, Англия, scored a fourth-round knockdown and took the 10-round super bantamweight fight easily against Fort Worth’s Hernandez. Резултатите бяха 100-89, 99-90 и 98-90.



“I came to America and fought a home fighter and won quite comfortably, I even got a knockdown,” the 24-year-old Ward said. “He was supposed to be the puncher and I was supposed to be the boxer. A lot of people think I can’t punch, then they get over-confident and get clipped. Then they realize I can punch. Look at his face compared to mine. That will tell you something.”



Ward started strong, and seemed to get better as the fight went on. “He’s been on the gas from the opening bell, and he hasn’t gotten off it,” said International Boxing Hall of Famer and ShoBox play-by-play commentator Barry Tompkins in the final minutes of the 10тата и последен кръг.



Ward exceeded double-digit connects in every round and topped 30 in five of the final six rounds while Hernandez reached double digits just three times.



It was a clean left hook that sent Hernandez to the canvas in the final seconds of the fourth round (КликнетеТУК да гледате). Ward controlled the middle of the fight and landed consistent three-punch combinations against Hernandez, who at the end of round six was warned by referee Bill Clancy that he was taking a lot of punishment and had to show him something or he would stop the fight. At the top of the ninth, the referee still concerned about Hernandez lack of action, called the doctor and asked once again the same question. The doctor cleared Hernandez to continue.



Hernandez said he felt Ward’s power, and was impressed. "Да, he got me with that left, but I recuperated,"Той каза. “But all the credit to him. A knockdown is a knockdown.”



Ward said Hernandez asked for the fight, but wasn’t prepared for the it. “I knew he was a good, experienced fighter,", Казва Уорд. “He’s fought some good guys and knocked out some good guys. He’s supposed to be a puncher, but I was just on another level tonight.



“I wanted a good fight to showcase my skills and I’m glad the people on ShoBox got to see it.”



Farhood interviewed undefeated middleweight world champion Claressa Shields before the main event. Shields and fellow undefeated champion Christina Hammer will meet on Saturday, Април 13 live on SHOWTIME to crown the women’s undisputed 160-pound world champion. The blockbuster unification from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. will be the main event of ПОКАЗВАНЕ НА БОКС: СПЕЦИАЛНО ИЗДАНИЕживеят в 9 p.m. ET/PT and is arguably the most significant women’s boxing event in history (Кликнетеhttps://s.sho.com/2UVWXtE to watch full interview).



Shields talked about her disdain for Hammer. “I’m going to keep it 100 percent professional,” she said. “I don’t like her as a person but that doesn’t matter. I want to beat her well. She’s just mad because I’m meaner that her and I’m better than her. I’m the GLOAT. Greatest lady of all time. I’m fighting every person that they say I can’t beat. I’m going to unify my division. I’m going to be the undisputed champion and nobody is going to be able to say otherwise.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Salita Promotions. Пълното предаване ще се възпроизведе в понеделник, Февруари 18 при 10 p.m. ET / PT на SHOWTIME EXTREME и ще бъде на разположение на SHOWTIME ANYTIME® и SHOWTIME по DEMAND®.

Окончателна оферта:
 
RONALD ELLIS 
 
“It’s my fourth time onShoBox, this time I have to get it right, this time I have to go out with a bang.
 
“I’m going to show a lot, I’m going to show boxing, banging, whatever they want to see we’re going to bring.
 
I trained at Buddy McGirt’s new boxing gym in Northridge, Халиф. I sparred Canelo Alvarez for his last fight and was in camp with Sergey Kovalev for his fight this weekend.
 
“I learned a lot from Canelo and Kovalev. I feel like sparring with them gave me an edge, so I’m going to look like a whole different fighter in there. Canelo is more compact and he comes a little bit faster. Kovalev, he’s big and he’s a banger.
 
DeAndre Ware is tough. He’s just a real tough guy who comes to fight. He got a lot of heart and he’s just going to do what he got to do. He’s not going to stick and move. He’s going to be there all night unless I get him out. I think his game plan is just going to be to come in and do what he does.
 
I think it’s a perfect fight for SHOWTIME. This one is going to be entertaining.”
 
 
DeANDRE WARE
 
"Чувствам се страхотно, feeling strong. We had a full camp this time around so I’m looking for good things. My training camp was about six to eight weeks at the Glass City Gym in Toledo. Prior to that, I was in Tony Harrison’s camp helping him to get ready to fight (Jermell) Charlo.
 
“Sparring was great, it was probably the best sparring and best camp I’ve had so far. I only had about 12 days to prepare for my last fight and I’m in much better shape this time. I think that’s going to play a big difference in this fight tomorrow night.
 
Ronald Ellis is just another guy in my way. I think Ellis is a tough fighter. From what I’ve seen, he’s a come-forward guy. He tries to box a little bit – there’s skill. I respect anybody that gets in that ring, but come fight time, all that stuff goes out the door. I’m coming to win.”
 
 
THOMAS MATTICE
 
“It’s a great feeling to come back toShoBox for the fourth time. Последната ми битка [a draw against Hamazaryan] was a great fight, a very exciting fight, but I thought I edged it five rounds to three. We’re going to do what we have to do to make sure this fight doesn’t turn out like that.”
 
“If I use my skills and my ability to use the ring it should help me tomorrow night. I don’t really know much about my opponent, I haven’t watched him since he was a last-second opponent and I got him like two weeks ago.
 
“Training camp was great. We were training for a southpaw and then they switched it when my opponent switched but I’m confident and I feel ready.
 
“I’m better than what I’ve shown in the past. My plan is to show that tomorrow night.”
 
WILL MADERA
 
"Чувствам се страхотно, I’m confident and I’m looking to put on a show. I had a great camp, I trained hard and I have no worries.
 
“For tomorrow, the key is pressure, intelligent pressure. I don’t want to come in overwhelming myself but still keep the pressure on him.
 
“Our styles should make for an exciting fight. If I bring the pressure it’s going to be a fun fight
 
[The Hamazaryan fight] was controversial. The first fight was a really close fight and I think if I apply the same pressure and fight smarter, I’ll get the victory.
 
“I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this. Now I just need to finish the job.”

UNDEFEATED SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT RONALD ELLIS LOOKS TO GET NEW ENGLAND SPORTS OFF TO A GREAT START IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION THIS FRIDAY, Февруари 1 На живо по SHOWTIME®



Ellis Takes On DeAndre Ware In Main Event Of Tripleheader Beginning Live At 10 p.m. ET/PT From Main Street Armory In Rochester, N.Y..


NEW YORK – Януари 29, 2019 – Undefeated super middleweight prospect and Massachusetts native Ronald Ellis (15-0-2, 10 Нокаута) will look to set the tone for a successful sports weekend for New England when he takes on DeAndre Ware (12-1-2, 8 Нокаута) in the 10-round main event of ShoBox: The New Generation this Friday live on SHOWTIME (10 PM ET / PT).

Борбата, which will take place at The Main Street Armory in Rochester, Ню Йорк, will serve as another opportunity for Ellis, a native of Lynn, Massachusetts.

Ellis, who is a huge fan of his beloved New England Patriots, is eager to earn a big win and then return to his new residence in Los Angeles to see Tom Brady bring home a record sixth Super Bowl title.

My camp went beautiful. I have had a couple camps in a row, so I was able to work on a lot of things. I learned a lot in this camp,” каза Елис.

The 29-year-old Ellis knows that he has a tough customer in front of him in once-beaten Ware.

Ware is a solid fighter. He is real tough, and he comes forward. He is not a tall guy, but he makes up with it with his toughness. He is a former football player, and he likes to come forward, so I know he will be there.

This will be the fourth appearance on ShoBox for Ellis, and he feels that a strong performance will lead him to major fights in the next year.

“Тази година, I have to execute. Now it’s time to perform. I just need to keep fighting, and if that happens I feel that I will be in line for a title shot in the next year. There is a lot of talent in the division, and now it’s time to knuckle up and all fight each other. I feel that I can compete with the elite of the division.

When talking about the Patriots, Ellis lights up. He has been a fan of the team since he was a youth growing up in the Boston suburbs.

It’s is going to be a great game. По ирония на съдбата, I moved to Los Angeles to train a couple of years ago, and for the last week all I’ve been hearing about is the Rams. It has been fun going at with the guys in the gym about the game, but I will always represent the Patriots. I am going to get the state of Massachusetts off to a good start on Friday, and the Patriots will have their arms raised on Sunday.

Ellis and Ware headline a tripleheader that will also feature undefeated lightweights Thomas Mattice (13-0-1, 10 Нокаута) of Cleveland taking on Will Madera (12-0-2, 6 Нокаута) на Albany, New York in an eight-round bout. The broadcast kicks off with a eight-round super featherweight contest between undefeated fighters Abraham Nova (14-0, 10 Нокаута) на Albany, New York and Oluwaseun Joshua Wahab (18-0, 11 Нокаута) на Акра, Гана.

Билети за събитието на живо, which is promoted by GH3 Promotions in association with Greg Cohen Promotions, са с цени $100 за VIP Ringside, $50 for Preferred Seating, $30 за общо признание и $2,000 for VIP Tables. Tickets can be purchased by calling 585-232-3221.

UNDEFEATED SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECTS SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV AND MYKAL FOX TO HEADLINE SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION ON FRIDAY, Февруари 15 На живо по SHOWTIME®

НЮ ЙОРК - Януари 16, 2019 – A 10-round clash between undefeated super lightweight prospects will headline ShoBox: Новото поколение when Uzbekistan’s power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev takes on Mykal Fox Friday, Февруари 15 live on SHOWTIME from Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Май.

The second of two February editions of the prospect developmental series will feature four fighters with a combined record of 71 wins against just one loss. Undefeated super middleweight prospect Ronald Ellis will take on DeAndre Ware headlines a three-fightShoBoxtelecast on February 1.

In the February 15 co-featured fight, 28-годишниятShoBox veteran Jesse Angel Hernandez returns to face WBO No. 4-ranked Thomas Ward in what will be the toughest test of his career in a 10-round super bantamweight bout.

“Shohjahon Ergashev is one of the hardest punchers in all of boxing. He will be facing a challenge in the undefeated skilled, determined fighter in Mykal Fox. A great fight the winner of which will cement himself as one of the best in the Jr. Welterweight division,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “The co main event is one of the best fights in the super bantamweight division between two proven world title contenders. A real cross roads fight with lots on the line for the winner to emerge as the new dominant name in the talent packed super Bantamweight division.”

The 27-year-old Ergashev (15-0, 14 Нокаута) is a former member of the Uzbek national team where he won 202 на неговата 216 amateur bouts. A decorated amateur, Ergashev owns a win over Uzbekistan’s Shakhram Giyasov, a silver medalist in the welterweight division at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Ergashev, who started his pro career by registering 11 consecutive knockouts, made hisShoBox debut in January 2018, handing then-unbeaten and top-10 ranked 140-pound prospect Sonny Fredrickson the only loss of his career with a third-round TKO. The southpaw slugger, who was named one of ESPN’s top prospects of 2018, trains in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward and Rick Phillips at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit.

“I’m very excited to fight on SHOWTIME again,", Каза Ergashev. “Everyone says Mykal Fox is my toughest opponent to date, but that doesn’t concern me. It actually excites me because when I knock him out, just like I knocked out Sonny Fredrickson, all of the champions in my weight class will know I am coming for them soon. It’s going to be Shoh-time in 2019!"

Unlike his opponent, Лисица, 23, had a rocky amateur journey amassing 40 победи и 60 losses—two of his wins came over undefeated top prospect Lamont Roach. Лисица, 6-крак 3 ½-inches from Forestville, Md., admitted that he was not disciplined and fully committed to the sweet science in his teenage years, but once he turned pro in 2014 everything changed and boxing became his way of life. Оттогава, he has defeated all of his 19 опоненти, five by way of knockout. Лисица, who is promoted by King Promotions, owns victories over the likes of former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley, Ricardo Garcia and Anthony Mercado.

Fox comes from a family of boxers. He is trained by his father Troy and his older brother and formerShoBox fighter Alantez (24-1-1, 11 Нокаута) is a 160-pound prospect whose only defeat came by the hands of Demetrius Andrade.

“It’s been a dream of mine to fight onShoBox. It has catapulted the careers of some of my favorite fighters,” said Fox, who is making his debut on the series. “I’m hoping it will catapult my career too.

“My opponent is a good fighter. He has good feet, good speed and great power. This is going to be a fight that can potentially steal the show. I look forward to seeing how our styles matched up.”

A win over Thomas Ward will definitely boost my career and hopefully lead to a world title shot. I know I will have all eyes on me on national television, I must impress. I believe the bantamweight division is mine for the taking. So I will go head and take what’s rightfully mine.”

Хани (21-0, 13 Нокаута) вкара нокдаун във втори рунд и носеше Ндонгени (25-1, 13 Нокаута) надолу с наказващи удари по тялото във втората част на битката, за да спечелите лесно на резултатите на трите съдии, 100-89 два пъти, и 99-90.Вижте нокдаун от втория кръгТУК.

Хейни каза на Стив Фардъти на SHOWTIME на ринга след битката, че оттук нататък иска да бъде считан за претендент. „Искам тези топ момчета,"Той каза. „Сега наистина не могат да ми откажат. Казвам това отдавна, но сега, Аз съм претендент. "Вижте интервюто след биткатаТУК

Нокдаунът дойде 1:30 на втория рунд, когато Хейни с дясната ръка хвърли флъш, като удари неуравновесения Ндонгени на платното. Но изстрелите на тялото на Хани измориха упорития Ндонгени, който се бори в САЩ едва за втори път. Хейни силно искаше да завърши битката с нокаут, дори да казва на баща си Бил Хейни между кръговете, „Ще го нокаутирам!"

„Той е страхотен боец,- каза Хейни, който с победата носи вкъщи поясите на WBO Intercontinental и WBC International. „Не се справяте 25-0 без да си никой. Още от самото начало знаех, че ще бъде тежък противник. Той е наистина добър боец ​​и не го избрах. Това беше опонентът, който се появи и вие ме познавате, Не отказвам на никого. Бия се с всеки, който дойде пред мен. ”

Farhood каза 2019 може да е годината, в която Хейни се бори за световна титла. „Впечатлен съм, защото той показа страна от себе си, която не бяхме виждали преди,”, Казаха от Международната боксова зала на Famer Farhood. „За млад боец, въпреки че е много сръчен, искате да го видите да се справя с всякакви ситуации. Той отиде до тялото ефективно и ако битката продължи 30 секунди по-дълго получава спиране. Е борба за световна титла в 2019 възможност? Сигурно. Само защото той е 20 не означава, че не е достатъчно добър. Ясно е, че няма никой, който да го изгони. "

Farhood най-накрая даде на Ndongeni рунд за първи път в седмия, тъй като той използва ефективна работа на тялото, за да контролира рунда, макар никога да не наранява видимо Хейни или да го излага на твърде голяма опасност.

Тъй като битката ставаше все по-дълбока и по-дълбока, Хейни просто продължаваше да се засилва. В последните два кръга, той поведе 69-28 върху цялостни приземени удари (16-6 удари и 53-22 мощност). В последната минута на последния кръг, Хейни излезе от Ндонгени 23-3 общо свързва.

„Ставам по-силен с всяка битка и усещам как се появява моята мъжка сила,- каза Хейни. „Ндонгени е много издръжлив боец. Приписвам голямото му сърце, че го държи в битката. Знаех, че съм по-добрият боец. Показах на всички, с които мога да се боря, напред, Мога да се боксира, Мога да ударя, Правя всичко. Аз съм готов…никой не ме спира. "

В битка на непобедения Рубенс, бивша украсена аматьорска вила Рубен (15-0, 5 Нокаута) връчи колумбиеца Рубен Червера (10-1, 9 Нокаута) първото му поражение в кариерата с доминиращо единодушно решение, 80-72 и на трите карти с резултати в двубоя с осем кръга в полу-игра.Вижте акцентите в биткатаТУК.

21-годишният двукратен национален олимпийски шампион за юноши и 2014 и 2015 Национален шампион по златни ръкавици от Салинас, Калифорния., Вила изпревари и надмина по-бавния, но решителен Червера по пътя към решителна победа.

„Чувствах се добре в битката на голямата сцена и спечелих победата срещу много твърд непобеден боец,”, Каза еднократният олимпийски заместник Вила. „Чувствах, че контролирам цялата битка с превъзходните си боксови умения. Готов съм да премина към следващото ниво. Поемам всички желаещи, без значение кои са те, Чувствам, че съм най-добрата полуоценка в света. "

В шестия кръг, Вила трябваше да работи със силна дясна ръка и проследяване с удари и комбинации, които сякаш събудиха Севера, който бе изпреварен на удари в кръг 35-5.

Ударът беше ключовото оръжие за Вила, докато той водеше 105-23 в свързва, както и държи a 36 процент до осем процента предимство в точността на удар. Вила надвишаваше двуцифрените стойности в удари във всеки рунд, но в първия.

Левицата Вила каза, че посещението на Ривърсайд и прекарването на време с известния обучен Робърт Гарсия е помогнало на играта му. „Ще си дам 8 или 9 тази вечер,"Той каза. „Вярвам в скоростта си. Знам, че има момчета като [Авенир] Кобили и [Лъв] Санта Круз, който хората познават, но посещението на Ривърсайд ми позволи да видя дали мога да вляза там с всеки. "

Севера стана 182ри кариерен боец, за да загуби непобедения си рекорд наShoBox. „Знаех, че Рубен Вила е много бърз боец, защото видях видеоклип с него, но не знаех, че е толкова бърз,- каза Сервера. „Той е много по-бърз, когато го видите в ринга. Опитах всичко, което можах, но разстоянието ми беше изключено. Успях да ги ударя с няколко комбинации и той вероятно усети моята сила. Не съм несъгласен с решението на съдиите, той беше по-добрият човек тази вечер. "

В телевизията отварачка, Кубинският тежка категория Франк Санчес (11-0, 9 Нокаута) преодоля 14-минутно закъснение между първия и втория кръг, нокаутирайки бившия футболист на колежа Уили Джейк, Jr. (8-2-1, 2 Нокаута) при 2:59 на втория кръг. И двамата бойци седяха спокойно на столовете си, докато местните организатори работеха за ремонт на две от въжетата, паднали от поста им.Вижте акцентите в биткатаТУК.

След контролиране на действието в първия кръг, Суровите удари на Франк просто надвиха по-тежкия Джейк, хващайки го с поглед вдясно към главата и маншет към тялото, което накара Джейк да падне с лице на платното и битката беше размахана само с една секунда, останала във втория рунд.

Санчес беше по-точният десант 39 процента от изстрелите му към Джейк 25 на сто. Той също така изпревари местния жител на Индианаполис в общите връзки (28-15) и при кацане с мощност (20-14).

„Исках да покажа на света, че съм новата кубинска сензация по бокс,- каза Санчес, който е израснал в Гуантанамо, Куба, и сега живее в Маями. „Не оставих забавянето на въжето да повлияе на представянето ми. Бях готов да тръгна, независимо какво се случи. Моят мениджър великият Ричард Стийл [бивш съдия по бокс] вече сглобявам следващата си битка. Идвам за всички в тежка категория. Всички претенденти по-добре внимавайте. "

Събитието беше популяризирано от Devin Haney Promotions и Bishop Promotions LLC, съвместно с Banner Promotions и Thompson Boxing. Пълното предаване ще се възпроизведе в понеделник, Януари 14 при 10 p.m. ET / PT на SHOWTIME EXTREME и ще бъде на разположение на SHOWTIME ANYTIME® и SHOWTIME по DEMAND®.
