VERONA, N.Y.. (Jan. 13, 2018) – Unified Women’s Super Middleweight World Champion Claressa Shields dominated previously undefeated Tori Nelson en route to a 10-round unanimous decision in the main event of ShoBox: Den nye generation Fredag on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino.

 

 

 

Shields controlled from opening to closing bell, sweeping 100-90 on all three judges’ scorecards in the first 10-round distance fight of her career. Den 2012 og 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist out-landed Nelson 225-81 with her total punches, 186-70 in powers shots, and connected at a 44 percent clip with her power shots compared to just 20 percent for Nelson.

 

 

 

“I landed every shot that I thought possible to land,”Shields sagde. “She was tough, she wasn’t a pushover. She put on a good fight.”

 

 

 

Shields advanced to 5-0 with two knockouts in what was likely her final fight in the super middleweight division. The 22-year-old now has her sights set on the middleweight division where she will eventually target undefeated and Unified Women’s Middleweight World Champion Christina Hammer, who was ringside Fredag i Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (første),”Shields sagde. “I think I could make 160 easy, I’m going to be bigger and stronger than any girl.

 

 

 

“Hammer just wants to scope. I think she’s pretty scared to be honest. She is more worried about me than I am about her. I’m going to kick Hammer’s ass. People think Hammer is more skilled than me so I can’t wait to show her that she’s not.”

 

 

 

Hammer, who is expected to fight in a co-featured bout on the next Shields card, was interviewed by SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood and expressed excitement to make her U.S. debut and eventually face the American champion.

 

 

 

“It’s a great combination me and her on the same card,” Hammer said. “I can’t wait to show the fans who Christina Hammer is. That will be the best fight ever. It will be the game-changer for female boxing. It’s our time to shine.

 

 

 

“I’m long-time world champion and I have more experience. I have longer reach, I’m tall, I have good footwork and better technique than her. I feel the energy, and I can’t wait to fight against her.”

 

 

 

The former world champion Nelson (17-1-3, 2 KOS) became the 173rd undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional loss on ShoBox: Den nye generation.

 

 

 

“I’m not happy because I didn’t win, but other than that I thought I executed pretty well,” said the 41-year-old Nelson. “I gave her a better fight than she was expecting.

 

 

 

“No disrespect to Claressa, she doesn’t have great power. She has great speed and she overwhelms you with a lot of punches. My movement threw her off like I knew it would but knowing she was the champion, I needed to just push a little bit more.”

 

 

 

I ShoBox co-feature, Jesse Hernandez narrowly defeated Ernesto Garza via split-decision in an action-packed fight that was scored 95-94 Hernandez, 95-93 Garza, 97-93 Hernandez.

 

 

 

After a close first round, Garza floored Hernandez with a flush left hand to the nose in the closing moments of the second round. Hernandez recovered, and while the middle rounds featured tremendous back-and-forth action, Hernandez seemingly had no trouble walking down Garza, who’s punches seemed to lack any real power. Garza (9-3, 5 KOS) found a second wind and seemed to pick up the eighth and ninth rounds until Hernandez roared back in an excellent 10th and final round that featured 178 samlede slag.

 

 

 

Hernandez (11-1, 7 KOS) landet 50 percent of his power punches and connected on 40 percent of his punches compared to just 28 percent for Garza, however he threw just 719 total punches compared to more than 1,000 by Garza.

 

“I think it should have been a unanimous decision,” Hernandez said. “I’ve always been a slow starter and I feel like I lost the first two rounds, especially with the knockdown. But I won pretty much every round after that, I maybe lost three rounds.

 

 

 

“I’m not completely happy with my performance. I have to control my distance and my range a little bit better. I need to go back to the gym and work on those things. Before the summer comes I hope to have another fight and I hope it’s on SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

“I give Garza a lot of credit for getting in the ring and knocking me down. He hung in there for 10 rounds even after I caught him with some good shots. He was able to withstand those shots, but all that said, I still think it should have been a unanimous decision.”

 

 

 

Garza countered that sentiment.

 

 

 

“I thought it was a bogus decision,” Garza said. “I don’t understand that last judge’s card. I was happy with everything that I did. I executed well and did everything I needed to do to win the fight.

 

 

 

“I’m really disappointed with the outcome. I felt that I won. For mig, I won a majority of the rounds and I knocked him down. I know knocking your opponent down usually leads to you winning the fight.”

 

 

 

Undefeated Uzbekistan power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev handed Sonny Fredrickson the first loss of his career with an impressive third round TKO in the opening bout of the ShoBox fjersynsudsendelse.

 

 

 

The win over the top-10 ranked Fredrickson extended Ergashev’s perfect record to 12-0 med 12 knockouts.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old pressed the action from the beginning, negating Fredrickson’s five-inch reach advantage with a steady diet of well-timed, crisp punches. Ergashev landed a wide left to the head that stumbled Fredrickson in the opening minute of the third and continued to tee-off as his opponent wobbled against the ropes With Fredrickson (18-1, 12 KOS) unable to defend himself and eating a series of brutal lefts, referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to stop the bout at 1:58 af den tredje.

 

 

 

All of Ergashev’s 61 connects in the bout were power shots, and he connected on 77 percent of his power punches in the third and final round.

 

 

 

“The ref saved him,” Ergashev said. “If he let him stay on his feet any longer I would have knocked him out. He couldn’t handle my power.

 

 

 

“At this stage of my career, I am in the best shape of my life and the best I have felt. This is my time right now, especially because I am training with Rick (Phillips) og (Javan) Sukker (Hill Steward). That’s what leads to all of my knockout power.

 

 

 

“I’m ready for whatever comes next. I’m ready for more fights in the U.S., and I want to keep getting more exposure to show off my skills. I’m ready to fight anybody in America.”

 

 

 

Fredrickson, who became the 172 fighter to suffer his professional loss on the prospect developmental series, suffered a jaw injury in the bout and was unavailable for comment.

 

 

 

Fredagens tripleheader will replay on Mandag, Jan. 15 på 10 p.m. OG/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

Russisk Heavyweight Apti Davtaev Remains ubesejrede på Shields vs. Nelson undercard på Turning Stone Resort Casino

Efterlad en kommentar
Adskillige underholdende kampe fremhævede untelevised undercard til to-tiden OL-guldvinder Claressa Shields forsvar af hendes WBC og IBF-titler mod obligatorisk udfordrer Tori Nelson på Turning Stone Resort Casino i Verona, New York i aften.
I de vigtigste understøttende Bout, Detroit via Kurchaloi, Rusland, sværvægter Apti Davtaev havde en succesfuld USA kæmper debut ved at score en seks-round enstemmig beslutning i Philadelphias Garrett “The Ultimate Warrior” Wilson.
Wilson gjorde det ikke nemt. Fighting ud af en crouch, den stærkt muskuløs, men meget kortere Wilson kom op med nok vilde haymakers at gøre hele kampen meget interessant. Davtaev synes at have en tung højre hånd, som han faldt over på den hårde leder af Wilson ofte nok til at tjene den tætte, men fortjente nik. Davtaev garanterer kredit for at gå i krig, når et af Wilsons looping gynger tilsluttet.
Davtaev (nu 14-0-1, 13 KOS) mister sin perfekte KO procentdel, men går væk med en hård sejr over en fjende, der kom til at vinde. Wilson er nu (18-14-1, 9 KOS).
Pointene blev 58-56 fra alle tre dommere.
En utilsigtet skalle bragt en forkortet ende til den seks-runde super let tilbagevenden Aktjubinsk, Kazakhstan’s Bakhtiyar Eyubov.
Ind mod Lynchburg, Virginia’s Maurice Chalmers (14-13-1, 8 KOS), den spændende Slugger Eyubov (13-0, 11 KOS) blev fremrykkende bag aktiv hoved bevægelse og en stram shell, da hans hoved kolliderede med tilbagetog Chalmers’. The cut that resulted was ruled too severe and the fight was ruled a No Decision at 1:59 af åbningen runde.
I en vild kvinders lys sværvægter Brawl featuring næver flyver fra alle retninger, brydning besidder og flere MMA-stil takedowns, Franchon “Heavy Hitting Diva” Besætningerne-Dezurn vandt en enstemmig seks-runde beslutning i løbet af Tiffany “The Terminator” Woodard.
Besætninger-Dezurn, nu 3-1, 1 KO, af Baltimore, Maryland, havde for mange våben til Wilson, North Carolina’s Woodard (nu 4-10-3, 3 KOS), så Woodard forsøgte, og det lykkedes at gøre tingene grim. Hvad fulgte var en vild slag-out med albuer og låsehuse og takedowns, der forlod både på lærredet mere end én gang.
Woodard tog en masse hårdt læder og fortjener ros for sin sejhed. Besætningerne-Dezurn viste klasse ved ikke at tage lokkemaden i det meste af kampen. Hun mistede et punkt i den sjette for en lusket hævn takedown.
Pointene blev 59-53, 59-54 og 59-54.
Detroit via Magnitogorsk, Russia’s Alexey Zubov outworked a determined Lamont “For glat” Kapers af Hawley, Pennsylvania, på vej til en seks-runde flertalsbeslutning.
En underholdende kamp mellem benhård cruiserweights, Zubov blev skåret over højre øje og tog nogle gode slag, men blot outworked de mere selektive Capers. Zubov viste sin ofte superior condition og arbejdede bag en uddannet jab, mens Kapers var tilfreds med at lægge i tovene og jord hårde pot shots ofte nok til at holde det interessant.
En score på 57-57 draw blev over-styret af scores 59-56 og 58-56 for den hårde russiske. Med sejren, Zubov flytter sin post til 17-1, 9 KOS. Kapers falder til 8-11-3.

AFSLUTTENDE citater:

 

 

Claressa SHIELDS:

 

 

”Tori bringer en masse mere aggression, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. På papiret, hun har den bedste CV for enhver modstander, jeg har konfronteret og kan sætte en bedre kamp.

 

 

 

”Alle undervurderer mig på grund af min størrelse. Min ramme ligner jeg er en 140 men virkelig jeg er en 168. Alle går ind i en kamp tænker de kan vinde, but once that right hand lands everything changes. I’m going to go after her in the first round and get her out of there like Nikki Adler.

 

 

 

”Jeg forventer min modstander til at lægge pres, og at bruge nogle beskidte taktik. Hun har mere erfaring, men ikke så meget, når du taler om hendes amatør erfaring.

 

 

 

“She’s confident and she believes in herself. She thinks I haven’t earned my place yet. She doesn’t think I throw hard punches. Speed is power. She doesn’t get that.

 

 

 

”Det har været en hård lejr, Jeg skubbede mig virkelig. Jeg plejer at gøre seks uger, denne gang jeg gjorde otte uger. Jeg havde ikke kæmpet siden august, så jeg ønskede at give mig selv en ekstra to uger, så jeg vidste, at jeg var i perfekt form.

 

 

 

”Der er ingen tvivl om, at jeg starter året med en sejr, men jeg ser det som en konkurrencedygtig kamp. Jeg har tænkt mig at skulle tjene sejren, men jeg tror, ​​jeg kan KO hende ved den sjette, syvende runde.”

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

”Jeg ved, jeg er underdog, men jeg har droppet ni mennesker. Hun har ikke scorede et knockdown endnu som en pro. Når Claressa blev professionel, Jeg vidste, jeg ville have til at stå over for hende til sidst.

 

 

 

”En sejr er, hvad jeg kom efter. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, men andre kvindelige boksere kommer op efter mig.

 

 

 

”Jeg føler, at det er mere underholdende at se en kvindelig kamp. Når kvinder bliver droppet, de kommer tilbage op og gå efter det igen. Når mænd bliver slået ned, de begynder at skjule, fordi de ikke ønsker at blive ramt igen. Så jeg synes, vi skal få betalt lige så meget som mændene.

 

 

 

”Jeg er velsignet at være her, but I’m not a winner until I complete what I came here to do. And that’s win. The odds are definitely against me, men jeg har tænkt mig at chokere verden.

 

 

 

“I want to take her into the deep waters. We don’t think she can beat us in a 10-round fight.

 

 

 

”De kommer ikke til at give mig noget. I have to be a dog and go in there and win this fight. I’ve always been aggressive. Why change anything for her?"

 

 

 

JESSE HERNANDEZ

 

 

”Jeg prøver bare at komme tættere på en titel kamp. Flytning op af ranglisten er det vigtigste mål lige nu, og jeg er på rette vej. En sejr her i en 10-runde kamp ville være enorme for min karriere.

 

 

 

”At være en all-around fighter er noget jeg arbejder på. Men man kan ikke blive et godt afrundet fighter, indtil du får den erfaring og de kampe, og det er, hvad jeg arbejder på at gøre lige nu. Jeg ønsker at få flere runder i og fremskridt.

 

 

 

”Fighting en southpaw er ikke et problem for mig. Jeg kan skifte min holdning, men det er ikke noget, jeg tænker over eller plan. Det sker bare naturligt i en kamp.

 

 

 

”Jeg har altid troet på mig selv, selv når jeg tog fri. Jeg troede, at jeg kunne komme tilbage i det og komme til et topniveau. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, men det viste andre jeg hører, og at jeg kan konkurrere på det øverste niveau.”

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

”Jeg kan lide at bringe trykket, and he’s a pressure fighter too. We’ll see who backs up once we start throwing punches.

 

 

 

“I like to face fighters who come forward like him so I think everything will work for me. I plan on applying the pressure, få ham træt i de sidste runder, og tage ham ud.

 

 

 

”Han har en tendens til at skifte, but I think that’s when he gets off-balance. He won’t bring anything I haven’t seen before.

 

 

 

“I’m fighting at my natural weight class this time. My last fight on ShoBox (mod undefeated Jon Fernandez) Jeg kæmpede en meget højere vægt.

 

 

 

“I don’t think his height and reach will give me any issues. I’ve been working with a lot of guys in the gym who have similar size and style. We’re ready for anything.

 

 

 

“A win would be a great step for me and my career. All the doors would open up for us.”

 

 

 

Efter Shakh:

 

 

”Jeg elsker at træne her på grund af det faktum, at det er en anden stemning her i staterne. Det er en rigtig professionel opsætning, Jeg føler, at mine evner og min teknik har fået en meget bedre uddannelse her med Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

”Jeg ved, at han er en erfaren fighter. Han er ubesejret og han kommer til at kæmpe. Det er en stor mulighed for os begge.

 

 

 

”Jeg er meget beæret over at være på SHOWTIME og glad for at være at få denne form for national eksponering. En sejr ville cementere mig som en af ​​de bedste junior weltervægt udsigter i verden.

 

 

 

”Jeg har fået en meget bedre uddannelse på Kronk Boxing Gym i Detroit. Sidste træningslejr var en introduktion til den amerikanske form for boksning og denne lejr virkelig forbedret min teknik og taktik med den intense sparring.

 

 

 

"Jeg er 11-0 med 11 knockouts. Jeg er en puncher og jeg ønsker at slå ham ud, men jeg har trænet for afstanden. Jeg har trænet til at slå nogen ud i første runde, og den ottende runde.

 

 

 

”Dette er et stort skridt op i opposition, men jeg har haft i løbet af 200 amatør kampe mod nogle af de bedste amatør boksere i verden. Jeg har slået olympiske medaljevindere og meget dygtig amatør kæmpere.”

 

 

 

SONNY Fredrickson

 

 

”Jeg har ventet på denne eksponering i lang tid. Jeg har prøvet at komme på TV for de sidste to eller tre år, så dette er en stor aftale for mig. Forhåbentlig en win bump mig op i toppen 5 og giver mig en titel skudt i slutningen af ​​dette år eller i begyndelsen af ​​næste år.

 

 

 

”Vi sparre meget med Robert (Påske). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Jeg giver ham nogle pejlemærker her og der, og han gør det samme for mig.

 

 

 

”Jeg ved ikke alt for meget om min modstander. Jeg ved, han er en lefty, og han har en stærk slag. Han er et godt match for mig. Han ønsker at holde kommer frem og jord big shots, så jeg vil være i stand til at udbakke ham temmelig nemt.

 

 

 

”Jeg tror ikke, at nerverne bliver faktor. Jeg har kæmpet på André Wards kort, Jeg har været i store slagsmål før.

 

 

 

”Jeg har tænkt mig at slå ham ud efter den tredje runde. Jeg har tænkt mig at sige, hey, få ham ud af her.

 

 

 

”Efter denne kamp, fans vil begynde at lære mit navn. Jeg tror, ​​de får lyst til at se mig have et skud på 140 pund titel.”

“I am excited to make my ShoBox debut, and look forward to putting on a good show for the fans at Turning Stone and everyone watching on TV, especially all my family and fans back in Toledo, Ohio” Fredrickson said. “I know Ergashev is tough and he will be coming to fight, but I’ve trained very hard. I had a great camp and I am looking to make a statement. I’m very appreciative of SHOWTIME for this platform.” I had a number of television opportunities fall through because fighters pulled out so I’m happy my time has finally come. Forhåbentlig, Ergashev doesn’t get hurt before Fredag, but once the fight starts I can’t promise anything.”
Rick Torres, Formand for Victory Sports, feels that this fight will give Fredrickson exposure to a wider audience that may not be familiar with him.
“We feel Sonny is one of the best kept secrets in all of boxing and we’re excited that the rest of the world will get to see what we already know – that Sonny Fredrickson is the future of the 140-pound division,” Torres said. “Sonny has not gotten the TV exposure of other fighters, but we know that, given the chance, he will not disappoint. We are very grateful to SHOWTIME and Gordon Hall for making this happen and for the support of Sonny’s promoter Roc Nation Sports.”
Mike Leanardi, COO of Victory Sports, sees an opportunity for Fredrickson to follow in the footsteps of another Victory Sports fighter that started on ShoBox.
“ShoBox is the premier platform today for showcasing and developing young fighters,”Leanardi said. “We’ve seen the impact ShoBox can have firsthand with [former Super Middleweight and Former Light Heavyweight World Champion] Badou Jack. We’re confident that Sonny can achieve great success as well.”

Originally from Lynn, Mass., the 28-year-old Ellis currently lives and trains in Los Angeles at the Iron Gym under trainer Jerry Rosenberg and his father Ronald Ellis Sr.
 

“It’s going to be fireworks from the jump,” said Ellis, who was scheduled to fight Taneal Goyco in November, but the fight was scrapped when Goyco weighed three pounds over the super middleweight limit. “Younan is a good little fighter, but we are trying to get him out of there. Dette er min første main event, and I want to impress. It will be a good way to start 2018, which will be my year.”
 

Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Nationale Golden Gloves. Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. ved 2012 Olympiske Lege.

Because of injuries, Younan fought just one time in 2015. After a nine-month layoff, he returned in March of 2016 to beat Cristian Solorzano and has remained active since. Eight of Younan’s 13 pro wins have ended in the first round, including three of his last five fights. The 22-year-old is trained by his father, Sherif Younan
 

“It’s a pleasure to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m excited to put on a show for all the viewers,” Younan said. “I’ve been working as hard as possible and I’m confident my efforts will pay off. I’m going to break my opponent’s spirit and pick him apart. This is my time – in 2018, I’m looking to make a title run and this fight is just the first step.”
 

WELLINGTON ROMERO vs. SAM TEAH – Eight-Round Super Lightweight

 

Romero is originally from the Dominican Republic now fighting out of Newburgh, New York. A southpaw, he fights under the Roc Nation Sports promotion and represented the Dominican Republic in the 2012 London Olympics, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist Vasyl Lomachenko.

“This fight on SHOWTIME is a great opportunity for me to showcase my talent and I want to thank God, my team and everyone involved for this opportunity,” Romero said. “I’m going to deliver a world class performance for all the boxing fans out there to enjoy. After defeating my opponent, I know I will make a lasting impression on the viewers and start paving my way to a world title belt.”
 

This won’t be the first time Philadelphia’s Teah is facing an undefeated fighter on ShoBox. In Las Vegas in 2015, Teah scored a unanimous decision over previously undefeated O’Shaquie Foster. The 30-year-old’s only loss came against then-undefeated Lavisas Williams in 2014.
 

Født i Liberia, Teah did not start boxing until the age of 19. His last four fights have been close to home with three in his hometown of Philadelphia and the other two in Bristol, Pa., and Atlantic City, N.J.
 

“I know my opponent was an Olympian, and he has been in front of a lot of great fighters,” Teah said. “I am excited to face him and take the big challenge. I know I will be his toughest opponent. I am ready to see what he is made of.”
 

THOMAS MATTICE vs. ROLANDO CHINEA – Eight-Round Lightweight
 

A 27-year-old from Cleveland, Mattice turned pro in 2014 and had an amateur record of 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves champion, and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.

“It’s a tough fight for sure,” Mattice said. “I checked him out. It’s going to be a rough fight, but I am prepared for a war. I am prepared for whatever he will bring. I am excited to fight on ShoBox. Ever since I started boxing, I said one day that will be me fighting on TV, and now that dream comes true.”
 

The 26-year-old Chinea returns to ShoBox after handing previously unbeaten Kenneth Sims Jr., the first loss of his professional career via majority decision on July 14. The win moved Chinea’s ShoBox record to 2-0. He had previously won an eight-round split decision victory over O’Shaquie Foster in 2016.

He has won five straight since, including two unanimous decisions over previously undefeated Ladarius Miller and Mel Crossty, as well as the unbeaten Sims. His last four opponents had a combined record of 38-1-1.
 

“I know Thomas Mattice is another undefeated fighter with a terrific amateur career,” Chinea said. “I am being brought in as his opponent, to make him look good in his national TV debut. I respect Thomas for agreeing to fight me. I am sure that he will bring his best, and it will be another entertaining fight, Chinea style. I am going to be in the best shape of my career. I am going to be stronger, and I am going to hunt him down, rough him up, and beat him. I can’t wait to fight and win again on ShoBox.”

Haney is currently living and training in Las Vegas, where he sparred with Floyd Mayweather as the pound-for-pound champ prepared to face Conor McGregor, and Shawn Porter. Haney turned professional when he was 16 years old in Mexico.
 

“Fighting on SHOWTIME, specifically ShoBox, where many champions have been made, is something I’ve envisioned since I turned professional in 2015,” Haney said. “I’m in tough against Harmonito Dela Torre, a hungry fighter who is coming off his first pro loss. I know his back is up against the wall, so I’m expecting him to bring everything he’s got. But this is my time to shine on the big stage and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by. I’m the future of boxing and everyone will see my talent on February 2, especially Dela Torre.”
 

Dela Torre is a 23-year-old Philippines native who has been training with Osmiri Fernandez in Miami the past few months at the Sanman Boxing Gym.
 

Dela was scheduled to fight last on Aug. 22 in Las Vegas in a super featherweight bout against undefeated Saul Rodriguez, who inexplicably pulled out of the matchup a few days before the fight.
