SLOAN, Iowa - janeiro 17, 2020 - Três perspectivas promissoras e invictas de Detroit brilharam durante ShoBox: The New Generation’s 250th episódio sexta-feira à noite com o russo Vladimir Shishkin liderando o caminho com uma sólida vitória por decisão unânime no evento principal na sexta-feira à noite no WinnaVegas Casino em Sloan, Iowa.



Com o treinador de Tyson Fury, Sugarhill Steward, do famoso Kronk Gym em Detroit trabalhando em seu canto, Shishkin, de 28 anos, em rápido crescimento (10-0, 6 KOs) venceu pela segunda vez consecutiva em ShoBox em uma batalha de lutadores invictos enquanto dominava Ulises Sierra (15-1-2, 9 KOs) de San Diego, Califa. A luta de 10 rounds dos super médios foi marcada em favor de Shishkin 100-90 e 99-91 duas vezes.



Também postando vitórias estavam os alunos do Steward, Shohjahon Ergashev, que registrou um nocaute no primeiro assalto, e o nativo de Detroit Ja’Rico O’Quinn, que venceu por unanimidade em uma luta dominante de peso galo de oito assaltos.



“Ergashev foi espetacular, mas você quase sente que gostaria de ver mais,”Disse o Hall of Fame e ShoBox analista Steve Farhood. “Ele é o mais avançado dos três e Ja’Rico O’Quinn se vendeu esta noite e foi muito agressivo, talvez muito agressivo. ”



Shishkin disse depois que lutou com um ferimento no bíceps esquerdo e no cotovelo esquerdo. “Foi uma luta muito mais dura do que eu pensava, porque lutei com uma mão a maior parte da luta,"Ele disse. “Fiquei surpreso que ele aguentou meus socos, mas eu não conseguia tirar a mão dele do caminho com a esquerda para bater nele com a direita. Isso me afetou muito porque eu uso muito isso. ”



Ele adicionou: “Eu quero Canelo (Alvarez). Eu queria (David) Benavidez. Eu quero os próximos campeões. Estou pronto para o próximo nível. Com Sugarhill ao meu lado, estou pronto para qualquer pessoa. Mesmo com uma mão. ”



Steward é sobrinho do lendário treinador Emanuel Steward. “Achei que todos os caras de Detroit se saíram bem,”Sugarhill Steward disse. “Todos eles tiveram uma boa experiência na televisão. Esse é um fator que alguns lutadores não levam em consideração. Quando eles aparecem na televisão, eles não sabem como lidar com isso. Você tem que estar acostumado a estar em um palco como este e estou feliz com a forma como todos eles atuaram. Todos os caras de Detroit apareceram na televisão para promover suas carreiras. Estou muito feliz com tudo ”.



Sierra não tinha uma resposta para as fotos do corpo de Shishkin enquanto Shishkin conectava 65 tiros de corpo para 28 para serra. “Ele era astuto e forte,”Disse Sierra, quem se tornou o 189th boxeador perderá seu recorde invicto em ShoBox no 19 anos da série. “Mas também me machuquei com uma torção na mão um mês antes desta luta e não acertei as malas desde então.”



Na luta co-featured, Shohjahon Ergashev super leve e contundente (18-0, 16 KOs) mostrou sua poderosa mão esquerda quando o canhoto do Uzbequistão também treinado por Steward nocauteou Adrian Estrella (29-5, 24 KOs). A luta acabou em 92 segundos no primeiro assalto com um tiro devastador no corpo, pois Estrella foi incapaz de sobreviver à contagem de 10.



“Acabei de ver a janela do corpo, então eu lancei o tiro,Disse Ergashev, que está classificado entre os 15 primeiros em três dos quatro principais órgãos sancionadores. “Eu não planejava nocauteá-lo no primeiro round. Eu queria fazer algumas rodadas. O cara é durável e experiente, então eu pensei que iria, mas quando eu vi aquela abertura, Eu tive que levá-la.



“Eu sabia que tinha acabado no segundo em que pousou. Eu sabia que ele não iria se levantar disso. Ninguém poderia. Essa foi uma mensagem para a divisão superleve. É hora do Shoh! Não importa onde eu lute, é sempre a hora do Shoh. ”



Depois que Ergashev deu o golpe de nocaute, Estrella de Fort Worth, Texas, desceu contorcendo-se de dor do uppercut esquerdo ao fígado e incapaz de continuar.



“Comecei a me mover e tentei usar meu jab, mas ele foi muito rápido com aquele soco,”Disse Estrella. “Ele só me deu um soco muito forte no estômago e eu fiquei paralisado na tela. Eu tentei me levantar, mas eu não conseguia ouvir o árbitro contando. Não consegui ouvir nada, e eu não conseguia me mover. Foi um tiro e tanto. ”



Na abertura da cerimônia, antigo não. 1-classificou U.S. amador no peso galo, Ja’Rico O’Quinn (14-0-1, 8 KOs) foi impressionante no seu ShoBox estréia como ele superou um jogo Oscar Vasquez (15-3-1, 3 KOs) em uma decisão unânime 79-73 três vezes em 118 libras.



O WBO Não. 10-o peso galo júnior classificado O’Quinn trabalhou o corpo de forma eficaz durante a luta de oito assaltos conectando-se 83 tiros de corpo para 40 para Vasquez de Reno, Nev. O'Quinn superou Vasquez com uma média de 88 socos por rodada para Vasquez 59.2.



“Eu dou a este desempenho um seis, para ser honesto,”Disse O'Quinn. “Eu quero lutar contra pessoas maiores e mais altas, é a isso que estou acostumada. Eu não estou tirando nada do Oscar. Não importa o que eu sempre estarei por cima. Mesmo quando as coisas podem ficar feias, Eu sei como ganhar lindo. ”



Farhood chamou a luta de “altamente competitiva, luta unilateral. ”



Adicionado O’Quinn: “Eu entrei nessa luta sabendo que Oscar Vasquez era um cara durão. Eu sabia que ele iria se apresentar para tornar isso feio, então meu plano era boxear ele, mas se eu tivesse que, ficar lá e negociar com ele. Eu sabia que seria mais forte do que ele e seria capaz de receber seu soco. Foi difícil acertar minhas tacadas com ele apoiado em mim. Eu não poderia transformá-lo como queria e cortar os ângulos, mas nós viemos, nós conquistamos e eu ganhei. ”



O'Quinn, que superou um lento começo perdendo o primeiro turno, terminou a rodada sete enfaticamente com uma série de socos que abalaram Vasquez, que ficou de pé e não desistiu. “Eu acho que fui incrível,”Disse Vasquez, um operador de guindaste de 32 anos. “Foi uma luta muito acirrada. Eu pensei que estava ganhando as primeiras cinco rodadas. Ele me machucou uma vez no sétimo round e isso me custou muito. Ele foi um lutador melhor esta noite. ”



As lutas de sexta-feira foram promovidas pela Salita Promotions. A transmissão completa será reproduzida na segunda-feira, Janeiro 20 em 10 p.m. ET / PT no SHOWTIME EXTREME e estará disponível no SHOWTIME ANYTIME® e SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

His aggressive style and punching power make him a fighter who boxing fans want to see. 2020 will be a big year for both fighters. This series was built on giving young, talented fighters national television exposure and we are excited to get a first look at Ja’Rico O’Quinn, a U.S. amateur standout who is an all-action fighter with high expectations.”



“On January 17, boxing fans are going to see some of the best prospects in boxing from big to small,”Referido promotor Dmitriy Salita. “The card features young, hungry fighters in the super flyweight, junior middleweight and super middleweight divisions. Vladimir Shishkin, Shohjahon Ergashev and Ja’Rico O’Quinn are all undefeated, world-rated fighters on their way to national recognition and world titles. Primeiro, they have to pass the biggest tests of their careers.”



The 28-year-old Shishkin shined in his United States and ShoBox: A Nova Geração estréia em agosto, 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 ganha em 330 fights before turning professional in 2016. He has won his last four contests – all scheduled 10 ou 12 round fights – via knockout, incluindo um 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.



“Training with Sugar Hill at Kronk Gym is going really well, and I can guarantee that I will be ready and I will put my newly learned skills to use,” Shishkin said. “I hope for another emphatic victory that impresses the American boxing fans. I’m looking forward to putting on a great fight and letting the champions at 168 know that this is my year.”



The 30-year-old Sierra, from San Diego, Calif., is riding an eight-bout winning streak including a unanimous 10-round decision over Fidel Hernandez for the vacant WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship in April. The son of former San Diego Padres pitcher Ulises “Candy” Sierra, he has sparred with future Hall of Famers Andre Ward and Canelo Alvarez and former world champion Peter Quillin. Prior to Sierra’s career-best win in April, he won four straight contests in Mexico, incluindo três por nocaute.



“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,”Disse 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.”



Hard-hitting super lightweight Shohjahon Ergashev (17-0, 15 KOs), do Uzbequistão, is ranked in the top-15 in three of the four major sanctioning bodies. The 28-year-old is coming off an impressive fourth-round knockout of veteran Abdiel Ramirez this past August onShoBox. In his previous appearances on the prospect developmental series, the former member of the Uzbek national team scored a third-round knockout against then top-10 rated Sonny Fredrickson, and a 10-round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Mykal Fox. The powerful southpaw currently trains alongside stablemate Shishkin in Detroit.



“I am adding new dimensions to my game and plan on making a big statement in the first ShoBox of the year,Disse Ergashev. “2020 is going to be my year and I am going to set the tone in my fight with Estrella.”



Estrela, who hails from Monterrey, México, se tornou profissional em 2010 e ganhou 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, na sua U.S.. debut in February. 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 in the world by the WBO. Ranked as the No.1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 antes de virar profissional em 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., em Outubro.



“The time has finally come,”Disse O'Quinn. “It’s my time to show the world who the king is on live TV. For those that don’t know, Janeiro 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. Ele não vem estabelecer. 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 e 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. Em 32 anos, the hungry Vasquez finds himself in a do-or-die fight against O’Quinn.



“Training in Reno is going amazing,”Disse 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.”

With famed trainer Sugarhill Stewart shouting instructions from his corner, the Detroit-based power-punching Ergashev (16-0, 14 KOs), by way of Fergana, Uzbequistão, did enough to beat the rangy 6-foot-4 Fox (19-1, 5 KOs) in a matchup of two exciting undefeated prospects. Os escores foram 96-94 e 98-92 duas vezes (Clique AQUI para assistir).



“I didn’t think it was a close fight,Disse 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 por cento de seus golpes de energia (66 para 225) compared to Fox at 27 por cento (41 para 153).



Ergashev said he was disappointed in his performance. “I come to fight,"Ele disse. “I like fighters who stand and fight. Eu sou um lutador. 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 186th fighter to lose their undefeated record on the prospect developmental series.



Raposa, 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.



Na luta de a cerimônia de abertura, England’s Thomas Ward (26-0, 4 KOs) 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 KOs).Clique AQUI to watch a recap.



Fighting for the first time in the States, the WBO No. 4-ranked Ward of West Rainton, Inglaterra, scored a fourth-round knockdown and took the 10-round super bantamweight fight easily against Fort Worth’s Hernandez. Os escores foram 100-89, 99-90 e 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 10th e última rodada.



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 (CliqueAQUI para assistir). 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. "Sim, he got me with that left, but I recuperated,"Ele disse. “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,"Ward disse. “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, Abril 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 Showtime Boxing: EDIÇÃO ESPECIALViver em 9 p.m. ET/PT and is arguably the most significant women’s boxing event in history (Cliquehttps://s.sho.com/2UVWXtE to watch full interview).



Shields talked about her disdain for Hammer. “I’m going to keep it 100 percent professional," ela disse. “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.”

UNDEFEATED SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECTS SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV AND MYKAL FOX TO HEADLINE SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION ON FRIDAY, Fevereiro 15 VIVER EM SHOWTIME®

NOVA YORK - Janeiro 16, 2019 – A 10-round clash between undefeated super lightweight prospects will headline ShoBox: A Nova Geração when Uzbekistan’s power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev takes on Mykal Fox Friday, Fevereiro 15 live on SHOWTIME from Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Maio.

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-anosShoBox 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 KOs) is a former member of the Uzbek national team where he won 202 da sua 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 nocautes consecutivos, 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,Disse 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!"

Ao contrário de seu oponente, Raposa, 23, had a rocky amateur journey amassing 40 vitórias e 60 losses—two of his wins came over undefeated top prospect Lamont Roach. Raposa, 6-pé 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. Desde então, he has defeated all of his 19 oponentes, five by way of knockout. Raposa, 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 KOs) 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.”

Hernandez (12-1, 7 KOs) broke onto the scene in 2017 with back-to-back wins over previously undefeated, top-15 ranked fighters onShoBox– a unanimous decision over Glenn Dezurn and a fifth-round TKO of Vladimir Tikhonov.
