SLOAN, Iowa – January 17, 2020 - Three promising and undefeated Detroit prospects shined during ShoBox: The New Generation’s 250th episode Friday night with Russia native Vladimir Shishkin leading the way with a solid unanimous decision win in the main event Friday night from WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa.



With Tyson Fury’s trainer Sugarhill Steward from the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit working his corner, the 28-year-old fast-rising Shishkin (10-0, 6 KOS) won for the second consecutive time on ShoBox in a battle of unbeaten fighters as he dominated Ulises Sierra (15-1-2, 9 KOS) San Diego, Calif. The 10-round super middleweight bout was scored in favor of Shishkin 100-90 og 99-91 to gange.



Also posting victories were Steward’s students Shohjahon Ergashev, who registered a first-round knockout, and Detroit native Ja’Rico O’Quinn who won unanimously in a dominating eight-round bantamweight bout.



“Ergashev was spectacular but you almost feel like you wish you got to see more,” said Hall of Famer and ShoBox analytiker Steve Farhood. “He’s the furthest advanced of the three and Ja’Rico O’Quinn sold himself tonight and was very aggressive, maybe too aggressive.”



Shishkin said afterwards that he fought with an injured left bicep and left elbow. “It was a much tougher fight than I thought it would be because I fought with one hand for most of the fight,"Sagde han. “I was surprised he could take my punches, but I couldn’t move his hand out of the way with the left to hit him with the right. That affected me a lot because I use that a lot.”



Han tilføjede: “I want Canelo (Alvarez). Jeg ønsker (David) Benavidez. I want the champions next. I am ready for the next level. With Sugarhill in my corner I am ready for anyone. Even with one hand.”



Steward is the nephew of the legendary trainer Emanuel Steward. “I thought all the Detroit guys did great,” Sugarhill Steward said. “They all got good experience on television. That’s a factor that some fighters don’t take in to consideration. When they get on television, they don’t know how to handle it. You have to be used to being on a stage like this and I’m happy with the way they all performed. All the guys from Detroit stepped up on television to further their careers. I’m very happy all-around.”



Sierra didn’t have an answer for Shishkin’s body shots as Shishkin connected on 65 body shots to 28 for Sierra. “He was sharp and he was strong,” said Sierra, who became the 189th boxer to lose his undefeated record on ShoBox i 19 years of the series. “But I was also hurt with a sprained hand a month before this fight and haven’t hit the bags since then.”



I co-featured Bout, hard-hitting super lightweight Shohjahon Ergashev (18-0, 16 KOS) showed off his powerful left hand as the southpaw from Uzbekistan also trained by Steward knocked out Adrian Estrella (29-5, 24 KOS). The fight ended at just 92 seconds into the first round with a devastating body shot as Estrella was unable to survive the entire 10-count.



“I just saw the window to the body, so I threw the shot,Sagde Ergashev, who is ranked in the top-15 in three of the four major sanctioning bodies. “I wasn’t planning to knock him out in the first round. I wanted to get some rounds in. The guy is durable and experienced, so I thought I would, but when I saw that opening, Jeg var nødt til at tage det.



“I knew it was over the second it landed though. I knew he would not get up from that. No one could. That was a message to the super lightweight division. It’s Shoh Time! No matter where I fight, it is always Shoh Time.”



After Ergashev landed the knockout blow, Estrella of Fort Worth, Texas, went down writhing in pain from the left uppercut to the liver and unable to continue.



“I started moving and tried using my jab, but he was very quick with that punch,” Estrella said. “He just punched me very hard in the stomach and I was paralyzed on the canvas. I tried to stand up, but I couldn’t hear the referee counting. I couldn’t hear anything, and I couldn’t move. It was a hell of a shot.”



I fjersynsudsendelse åbneren, former No. 1-rangeret US. amateur at bantamweight, Ja'Rico O'Quinn (14-0-1, 8 KOS) was impressive in his ShoBox debut as he outclassed a game Oscar Vasquez (15-3-1, 3 KOS) in a unanimous decision 79-73 three times at 118 pounds.



The WBO No. 10-ranked junior bantamweight O’Quinn worked the body effectively throughout the eight-round fight connecting on 83 body shots to 40 for Vasquez of Reno, Nev. O’Quinn outworked Vasquez with an average of 88 punches per round to Vasquez’s 59.2.



“I give this performance a six, to be honest,” said O’Quinn. “I want to fight bigger and taller people, that’s what I’m used to. I’m not taking anything away from Oscar. No matter what I will always come out on top. Even when things can get ugly, I know how to win beautiful.”



Farhood called the bout a “highly competitive, one-sided fight.”



Added O’Quinn: “I went into this fight knowing Oscar Vasquez was a tough guy. I knew he would be coming forward to make it ugly, so my game plan was to box him but if I had to, stand there and trade with him. I knew I’d be stronger than him and be able to take his punch. It was hard to land my shots with him leaning on me. I couldn’t turn him like I wanted and cut off angles, but we came, we conquered and I got the win.”



O’Quinn, who overcame a slow start losing the first round, ended round seven emphatically with a series of punches that rattled Vasquez, who stayed on his feet and didn’t give up. “I think I did amazing,” said Vasquez, a 32-year-old crane operator. “It was a very close fight. I thought I was winning the first five rounds. He hurt me once in the seventh round and that took a lot out of me. He was a better fighter tonight.”



Fredagens kampe blev promoveret af Salita Promotions. Hele tv-udsendelsen afspilles på mandag, Januar 20 på 10 p.m. ET/PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME og vil være tilgængelig på SHOWTIME ALTID® og SHOWTIME på DEMAND®.

The 28-year-old Shishkin shined in his United States and ShoBox: Den nye generation debut i august, registering an eighth-round technical knockout against then once-beaten DeAndre Ware. Standing at 6-foot-1, Shishkin was a standout amateur in Russia where he compiled 301 wins in 330 fights before turning professional in 2016. He has won his last four contests – all scheduled 10 eller 12 round fights – via knockout, herunder en 10th round TKO of former world title challenger Nadjib Mohammedi prior to his American debut in October 2018. Currently training in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill, Steward at the new Kronk Gym, Shishkin is looking to continue his ascent up the rankings in the super middleweight division with a second consecutive statement win on ShoBox.

Prior to Sierra’s career-best win in April, he won four straight contests in Mexico, herunder tre af knockout.



“I’m happy for the opportunity to face a good opponent and I’ll use him as a steppingstone to get where I want to get,” said Sierra. “I still have a month of preparation to get into the best shape of my life. I know Shishkin is undefeated and has a Russian amateur pedigree. It’ll be the hardest fight of my career, but I will do anything and everything to come out victorious.”

Stjerne, who hails from Monterrey, Mexico, blev professionel i 2010 og vandt 22 consecutive fights before he suffered his first setback in 2015. With just seven of his 33 pro fights going the full distance, Estrella is an all-action fighter typical of his Mexican roots. He earned a career-best win, a closely-contested split decision over Oscar Duarte, i hans U.S. debut i februar. Estrella will face his fourth undefeated prospect in his last five fights as he looks to get his career back on track with a win over the highly-regarded Ergashev.



“This is an opportunity I’m going to take full advantage of,” said Estrella. “I’ve been in camp for the last two months, so I’ll be in perfect shape to go in there and do my thing. I know Ergashev is a southpaw and a hard puncher with a big KO record, but I’ve been in this situation before. I have too much experience for him. Knowing that if I win this fight I could get a world title shot is all the motivation I need.”



The 24-year-old O’Quinn is rated No. 10 i verden af ​​WBO. Ranked as the No.1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 før du tænder professionel i 2015, O’Quinn boasts blazing-fast hands and an ability to throw effortless combinations. A fan favorite in his hometown of Detroit, he was last seen winning a unanimous decision over James Smith of Flint, Mich., i oktober.



“The time has finally come,” said O’Quinn. “It’s my time to show the world who the king is on live TV. For those that don’t know, Januar 17, I’m going to show the world greatness in is purest form. They are going to see charisma, skills and explosiveness. I know I’m fighting a tough competitor. Han kommer ikke til at fastsætte. I’m coming prepared for war. It’s going to be a great night for boxing in the super flyweight division. I’m putting all the champions on notice.”



Vasquez, from Reno, Nev., is a former streaking prospect in the super flyweight division. After losing his third professional fight, the 5-foot Vasquez rattled off thirteen consecutive wins between 2012 og 2017 and was well on his way to making a name for himself in the division before a unanimous decision loss to once-beaten Ricardo Sandoval in May 2018 halted his momentum. After a year-and-a-half layoff, Vasquez returned by fighting Gilberto Mendoza to a majority draw in October. På 32 år, the hungry Vasquez finds himself in a do-or-die fight against O’Quinn.



“Training in Reno is going amazing,” said Vasquez. “It’s such a tremendous opportunity for my life. I’m trying to get to a high ranking and it’s a dream come true. I know O’Quinn is undefeated. He’s a boxer who likes to grab a lot. He doesn’t like pressure. I’m hoping I will tire him out. I think he’ll eventually give in as the fight goes on if I put on a lot of pressure. In the later rounds, he won’t even want to come out of his corner.”

»Jeg troede ikke, det var en tæt kamp,Sagde Ergashev, som kun var i stand til at lande to jabs hele kampen manglede mere end hundrede gange. "Han var akavet, og hans hoved var meget lavt. Han var også meget lang og høj, så det var svært at slå ham i hovedet. Jeg forventede, at han ville køre hele kampen, og det gjorde han.



Ergashev tilsluttede sig 29 procent af hans magt slag (66 for 225) sammenlignet med Fox kl 27 procent (41 for 153).



Ergashev sagde, at han var skuffet over sin præstation. "Jeg kommer for at kæmpe,"Sagde han. »Jeg kan godt lide kæmpere, der står og kæmper. Jeg er en fighter. Jeg kan godt lide fyre, der lader mig vise mine evner og bang. Fox boksede ikke engang. Han løb bare rundt i ringen. Jeg ville sætte mig ned og kæmpe.”



Den 23-årige Fox of Forest Hill, Md., en af ​​de højeste kæmpere i 140-pund-divisionen, sagde, at han var enig i et af dommernes kort, men ikke de to 98-92'ere. "Jeg vidste, det var tæt på, og tænkte, at jeg måske gjorde nok for at vinde," sagde Fox, som gjorde et godt stykke arbejde med at bremse kampens tempo. "Jeg tror, ​​det var tættere på end 98-92. Jeg tog et par billeder, men jeg vidste, at han ville blive stærk."



Fox blev den 186th fighter til at miste deres ubesejrede rekord i prospect-udviklingsserien.



Fox, som havde sin far Troy og bror og kollega, professionel bokser-mellemvægter Alantez i sit hjørne, blev den niende fighter i ShoBox historie at have en bror, der også kæmpede videre ShoBox slutter sig til broderduoer som Jermall og Jermell Charlo, Andre og Anthony Dirrell og Glenn og Nonito Donaire.

“Jeg kom til Amerika og kæmpede mod en hjemmekæmper og vandt ganske komfortabelt, Jeg fik endda en knockdown,” sagde den 24-årige Ward. "Han skulle være puncheren, og jeg skulle være bokseren. Mange mennesker tror, ​​at jeg ikke kan slå, så bliver de oversikre og bliver klippet. Så indser de, at jeg kan slå. Se på hans ansigt sammenlignet med mit. Det vil fortælle dig noget."



Ward startede stærkt, og så ud til at blive bedre, efterhånden som kampen fortsatte. »Han har været på gas fra åbningsklokken, og han er ikke sluppet af det,” sagde International Boxing Hall of Famer og ShoBox play-by-play kommentator Barry Tompkins i de sidste minutter af 10th og sidste runde.



Ward overskred tocifrede forbindelser i hver runde og toppede 30 i fem af de sidste seks runder, mens Hernandez kun nåede tocifret tre gange.



Det var en ren venstre hook, der sendte Hernandez til lærredet i de sidste sekunder af fjerde runde (KlikHER at se). Ward kontrollerede midten af ​​kampen og landede konsekvente treslagskombinationer mod Hernandez, som i slutningen af ​​runde seks blev advaret af dommer Bill Clancy om, at han tog en masse straf og var nødt til at vise ham noget, ellers ville han stoppe kampen. På toppen af ​​den niende, Dommeren er stadig bekymret over Hernandez manglende handling, ringede til lægen og stillede endnu en gang det samme spørgsmål. Lægen gav Hernandez tilladelse til at fortsætte.



Hernandez sagde, at han følte Wards magt, og var imponeret. "Yeah, han fik mig med det tilbage, men jeg kom mig,"Sagde han. "Men al ære til ham. Et knockdown er et knockdown."



Ward sagde, at Hernandez bad om kampen, men var ikke forberedt på det. "Jeg vidste, at han var en god, erfaren fighter,"Ward sagde. »Han har kæmpet mod nogle gode fyre og slået nogle gode fyre ud. Han skal være en puncher, men jeg var bare på et andet niveau i aften.



"Jeg ville have en god kamp for at vise mine færdigheder, og jeg er glad for, at folkene fortsætter ShoBox skal se det."



Farhood interviewede den ubesejrede mellemvægtverdensmester Claressa Shields før hovedbegivenheden. Shields og andre ubesejrede mester Christina Hammer mødes på lørdag, April 13 live på SHOWTIME for at krone kvindernes ubestridte verdensmester på 160 pund.

Hun er bare sur, fordi jeg er mere ond over, at hende og jeg er bedre end hende. Jeg er GLOAT. Den største dame nogensinde. Jeg kæmper mod enhver person, som de siger, jeg ikke kan slå.
