SLOAN, Iowa – January 17, 2020 - Three promising and undefeated Detroit prospects shined during ShoBox: Den nya generationen 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 och 99-91 två gånger.



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 analyst 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,"Sa 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.”



He added: “I want Canelo (Alvarez). Jag vill ha (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,”Sade Sierra, som blev den 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,"Ergasjev sa, 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, Jag var tvungen att ta 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 telecast-öppnaren, former No. 1-rang U.S.. 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,”Sade 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.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Salita Promotions. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Januari 20 vid 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

Står vid 6-fot-1, Shishkin var en enastående amatör i Ryssland, där han sammanställt 301 segrar i 330 slagsmål innan vända professionell 2016. Han har vunnit sina fyra senaste tävlingar - allt planerat 10 eller 12 runda slagsmål - via knockout, innefattande en 10th omgången TKO förre VM-titel utmanare Nadjib Mohammedi före sin amerikanska debut i oktober 2018.

Jag ser fram emot att sätta på en stor kamp och låta mästarna på 168 vet att detta är mitt år.”



Den 30-åriga Sierra, från San Diego, Calif., rider en åtta-bout vinna i rad inklusive ett enhälligt 10-runda beslut över Fidel Hernandez för den vakanta WBC Silver Super mellanvikt Championship i april. Son till förre San Diego Padres kanna Ulises ”Candy” Sierra, Han har spar med framtida Hall of Famers Andre Ward och Canelo Alvarez och förre världsmästaren Peter Quillin.

Star, som kommer från Monterrey, Mexiko, blev professionell 2010 och vann 22 konsekutiva slagsmål innan han led hans första bakslag i 2015. Med bara sju av hans 33 pro slagsmål som går hela sträckan, Estrella är en all-action fighter typisk för hans mexikanska rötter.

Jag vet Ergasjev är en Southpaw och en hård hålslag med en stor KO rekord, men jag har varit i den här situationen innan. Jag har för mycket erfarenhet för honom. Att veta att om jag vinner denna kamp jag kunde få en VM-titel skott är all motivation jag behöver.”

Rankad som No.1 amatör bantamvikt i landet sammanställa ett register över 130-18 innan du slår professionell 2015, O'Quinn har blixtsnabba händer och en förmåga att kasta ansträngning kombinationer.

”Tiden har äntligen kommit,"Said O'Quinn. ”Det är min tid att visa världen som kungen är på direktsänd TV. För dem som inte vet, Januari 17, Jag ska visa världen storhet i är renaste form. De kommer att se karisma, kompetens och explosivitet. Jag vet att jag kämpar en tuff konkurrent. Han kommer inte att fastställa. Jag kommer förberedda för krig. Det kommer att bli en stor kväll för boxning i super Mellanvikt division. Jag sätter alla mästare på meddelande.”



Vasquez, från Reno, Nev., är en före detta strimmor utsikter i super Mellanvikt division. Efter att ha förlorat sin tredje professionella kamp, 5 fot Vasquez rabblade tretton raka segrar mellan 2012 och 2017 och var väl på väg att göra sig ett namn i division innan ett enhälligt beslut förlust för en gång slagen Ricardo Sandoval maj 2018 stoppade hans fart. Efter ett år och ett halvt uppsägningar, Vasquez tillbaka genom att slåss Gilberto Mendoza en majoritet oavgjort i oktober. Vid 32 år gammal, hungriga Vasquez befinner sig i en gör-eller-dö kamp mot O'Quinn.



”Utbildning i Reno går fantastiskt,”Sade Vasquez. ”Det är en fantastisk möjlighet för mitt liv. Jag försöker komma till en hög ranking och det är en dröm som går i uppfyllelse. Jag vet O'Quinn är obesegrad. Han är en boxare som gillar att ta en hel del. Han gillar inte trycket. Jag hoppas jag kommer att trötta ut honom. Jag tror att han kommer så småningom ge kampen går vidare om jag sätter på en stor press. I de senare omgångarna, Han kommer inte ens vill komma ut ur sitt hörn.”

MULVANE, Kan. – February 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: Den nya generationen 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 Kos), by way of Fergana, Uzbekistan, did enough to beat the rangy 6-foot-4 Fox (19-1, 5 Kos) in a matchup of two exciting undefeated prospects. Poängen var 96-94 och 98-92 två gånger (Klicka HÄR att titta).



“I didn’t think it was a close fight,"Ergasjev sa, 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 procent av hans makt slag (66 för 225) compared to Fox at 27 procent (41 för 153).



Ergashev said he was disappointed in his performance. “I come to fight,"Sa han. “I like fighters who stand and fight. Jag är en kämpe. 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.



Fox, 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.



I öppnings anfall av telecast, 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).Klicka HÄR to watch a recap.



Fighting for the first time in the States, the WBO No. 4-ranked Ward of West Rainton, England, scored a fourth-round knockdown and took the 10-round super bantamweight fight easily against Fort Worth’s Hernandez. Poängen var 100-89, 99-90 och 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 och sista omgången.



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 (KlickaHÄR att titta). 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. "Yeah, he got me with that left, but I recuperated,"Sa han. “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 sa. “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, April 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 BOXNING: SPECIALUTGÅVAbor 9 p.m. ET/PT and is arguably the most significant women’s boxing event in history (Klickahttps://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. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Februari 18 vid 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

UNDEFEATED SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECTS SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV AND MYKAL FOX TO HEADLINE SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARI 15 BO PÅ SHOWTIME®

Lämna en kommentar

NEW YORK - Januari 16, 2019 – A 10-round clash between undefeated super lightweight prospects will headline ShoBox: Den nya generationen when Uzbekistan’s power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev takes on Mykal Fox Friday, Februari 15 live on SHOWTIME from Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Kan.

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-årigaShoBox 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 av hans 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,"Ergasjev sa. “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, Fox, 23, had a rocky amateur journey amassing 40 segrar och 60 losses—two of his wins came over undefeated top prospect Lamont Roach. Fox, 6-fot 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. Sedan dess, he has defeated all of his 19 motståndare, five by way of knockout. Fox, who is promoted by King Promotions, owns victories over the likes of former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley, Ricardo Garcia and Anthony Mercado.

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.”

Ward hails from County Durham in North East England, where he compiled an amateur record of 60 vinner, just four losses. The 24-year-old turned professional in 2012 vid en ålder av 17 och av 2017, he had won 20 straight fights and the British super bantamweight title. För närvarande rankat nr. 4 by the WBO, Ward hopes a win in his U.S. debut will set him up for a world title shot.
