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: An Giniúint Nua Dé hAoine 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. An 2012 agus 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 said. “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 Dé hAoine i Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (ar dtús),” Shields said. “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.”

 

 

 

Casúr, 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: An Giniúint Nua.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

Sa ShoBox comh-gné, 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 10ú and final round that featured 178 punches iomlán.

 

 

 

Hernandez (11-1, 7 Kos) i dtír 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. Chun liom, 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 telecast.

 

 

 

The win over the top-10 ranked Fredrickson extended Ergashev’s perfect record to 12-0 le 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 an tríú.

 

 

 

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) agus (Javan) Siúcra (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.

 

 

 

Dé hAoine tripleheader will replay on Dé Luain, Jan. 15 ag 10 p.m. AGUS/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

Sleachta FINAL:

 

 

CLARESSA SHIELDS:

 

 

"Tugann Tori a lán níos mó ionsaí, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Ar pháipéar, tá sí an atosú fearr ar aon chéile comhraic mé os comhair agus is féidir a chur suas ar an troid níos fearr.

 

 

 

"Meas faoina luach gach duine dom mar gheall ar mo méid. Breathnaíonn mo fráma cosúil mé 140 ach i ndáiríre tá mé a 168. Téann gach duine isteach i gcomhrac ag smaoineamh gur féidir leo a bhuachan, 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.

 

 

 

"Táim ag súil leis mo chéile comhraic brú a chur air, agus a úsáid roinnt tactics salach. Tá taithí níos aici, ach nach bhfuil i bhfad nuair a labhraíonn tú de a taithí amaitéarach.

 

 

 

“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.

 

 

 

"Tá sé seo ina champa crua, Bhrúigh mé i ndáiríre mé féin. Is féidir liom de ghnáth sé seachtaine, an uair seo rinne mé ocht seachtaine. Ní raibh mé throid ó mhí Lúnasa mar sin bhí mé a thabhairt dom féin ar dhá sa bhreis sheachtain sin bhí a fhios agam go raibh mé i gcruth foirfe.

 

 

 

"Níl aon amhras ach go Tús a chur mé an bhliain le bua, ach féach mé seo mar troid iomaíoch. Tá mé ag dul a bheith acu a thuilleamh an bua ach creidim go féidir liom ko di ag an séú, seachtú babhta. "

 

 

 

Tori NELSON:

 

 

"Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil mé an underdog, ach tá mé thit naonúr. Nach bhfuil sí scór knockdown amháin go fóill mar pro. Nuair a Claressa iompaigh pro, Bhí a fhios agam gur mhaith liom a aghaidh a thabhairt di sa deireadh.

 

 

 

"Tá bua méid a tháinig mé as. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, ach dhornálaithe mná eile ag teacht suas i mo dhiaidh.

 

 

 

"Is dóigh liom go bhfuil sé níos siamsaíocht chun féachaint troid mná. Nuair mná a fháil a thit, fhaigheann siad ceart ar ais ar bun agus dul i ndiaidh é a dhéanamh arís. Nuair fir fháil knocked síos, dtosaíonn siad i bhfolach toisc nach bhfuil siad ag iarraidh a fháil ar bhuail arís. Mar sin, I mo thuairimse, ba chóir dúinn a fháil a íocadh ach an oiread agus is na fir.

 

 

 

"Tá mé beannaithe a bheith anseo, 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, ach tá mé ag dul le turraing an domhain.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

"Ní bhíonn siad ag dul a thabhairt dom rud ar bith. 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

 

 

"Tá mé ag iarraidh ach a fháil níos gaire don troid teideal. Bogadh suas na rátálacha is é an sprioc is mó ceart anois, agus tá mé ar an gcosán ceart. Bheadh ​​bua anseo i troid 10-babhta a bheith mhór do mo shlí bheatha.

 

 

 

"Is é a bheith ina Trodaire léir ar fud rud éigin Tá mé ag obair ar. Ach ní féidir leat a bheith ina Trodaire dea-chothromú go dtí go bhfaigheann tú an taithí agus na troideanna agus sin an méid mé ag obair ar ag déanamh ceart anois. Ba mhaith liom a fháil babhtaí níos mó i agus dul chun cinn.

 

 

 

"Ní Troid ina southpaw ina fhadhb dom. Is féidir liom a athrú mo sheasamh, ach nach bhfuil sé rud éigin smaoineamh mé faoi nó plean. Tarlaíonn sé ach go nádúrtha i troid.

 

 

 

"Tá mé chreid i gcónaí i mé féin, fiú nuair a thóg mé am saor. Chreid mé go raibh mé in ann a fháil ar ais isteach é agus a fháil chun a leibhéal is fearr. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, ach léirigh sé cinn eile bhaineann mé agus gur féidir liom dul san iomaíocht ar an leibhéal is airde. "

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

"Is maith liom a thabhairt ar an mbrú, 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, dul dó tuirseach sna babhtaí deiridh sin, agus ag cur leis amach.

 

 

 

"Is nós le sé a athrú, 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 (in aghaidh undefeated Jon Fernandez) Bhí mé ag troid le meáchan i bhfad níos airde.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

Tar éis an Shakh:

 

 

"Is breá liom oiliúint anseo mar gheall ar an bhfíric go bhfuil sé atmaisféar difriúil anseo sna Stáit. Tá sé ina thus fíor gairmiúil, Is dóigh liom go bhfuil mo chuid scileanna agus mo teicníc gotten a lán oiliúna níos fearr anseo le Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

"Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil sé ina Trodaire taithí. Tá sé undefeated agus tá sé ag teacht chun troid. Is deis mhór do bheirt againn.

 

 

 

"Tá mé an-onóir a bheith ar Showtime agus sásta a bheith ag fáil an gcineál seo de nochtadh náisiúnta. Bheadh ​​bua stroighne dom mar cheann de na hionchais welterweight sóisearach is fearr sa domhan.

 

 

 

"Tá mé gotten oiliúint a lán níos fearr ag an Giomnáisiam Kronk Dornálaíochta i Detroit. Bhí campa traenála seo caite réamhrá ar an stíl Mheiriceánach de dornálaíocht agus an campa níos fearr i ndáiríre mo teicníc agus tactics leis an sparring dian.

 

 

 

"Tá mé 11-0 le 11 knockouts. Tá mé pollaire agus ba mhaith liom a cnag air amach, ach tá mé oilte le haghaidh an t-achar. Tá mé oilte éigin a t-amach sa chéad bhabhta agus an ochtú babhta.

 

 

 

"Is é seo an mór céim-ar bun i gcoinne, ach tá mé go raibh níos mó ná 200 troideanna amaitéarach i gcoinne roinnt de na dhornálaithe amaitéarach is fearr sa domhan. Tá mé fosta medalists Oilimpeacha agus trodaithe amaitéaracha an-i gcrích. "

 

 

 

SONNY Fredrickson

 

 

"Tá mé ag fanacht ar an risíocht ar feadh i bhfad. Tá mé ag iarraidh a fháil ar an teilifís ar feadh dhá nó trí bliana anuas, mar sin tá sé seo le déileáil go mór dom. Táimid dóchasach Buaileann bua mé suas i an barr 5 agus tugann dom lámhaigh teideal ag deireadh na bliana seo nó tús na bliana seo chugainn.

 

 

 

"Táimid ag spar go leor leis Robert (Cásca). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. mé a thabhairt dó roinnt leideanna anseo agus ansiúd agus a dhéanann sé mar an gcéanna do dom.

 

 

 

"Níl a fhios agam an iomarca faoi mo chéile comhraic. Tá a fhios agam tá sé ina lefty agus tá sé ina Punch láidir. Tá sé ar chluiche maith dom. Tá sé ag iarraidh a choinneáil ag teacht ar aghaidh agus talamh shots mór mar sin beidh mé in ann a outbox air go leor go héasca.

 

 

 

"Ní dóigh liom go mbeidh nerves a fhachtóir. Tá mé throid ar chárta Andre Choimircí, Tá mé i troideanna mór roimh.

 

 

 

"Tá mé ag dul chun an t-amach dó i ndiaidh an tríú babhta. Tá mé ag dul a rá, hug, a fháil dó as seo.

 

 

 

"I ndiaidh an troid, Beidh lucht leanúna tús a fhoghlaim ainm dom. mo thuairimse, beidh siad ag iarraidh a fheiceáil dom a bheith lámhaigh ag an 140 title punt. "

Originally from Lynn, Aifreann., 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 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.
 

A Puerto Rican native now living in Lancaster, Pa., Chinea suffered his only defeat against the hands of Ismail Muwendo in 2015. 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.”
 

DEVIN HANEY vs. HARMONITO DELA TORRE – Eight-Round Lightweights

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.
 

Ina áit sin, Dela Torre entered the ring in Las Vegas on Nov. 18 and suffered his first loss against 2012 Olympic silver medalist Tugstsogt Nyambayar in an eight-round unanimous decision, despite scoring a second-round knockdown.
