Tulsa, OK (Oktober 31, 2016) – The boxing world is always looking for its next great attraction and nothing is more sought after than a heavyweight; especially an American with devastating power like Trey Lippe-Morrison.
På Friday September 23, the undefeated Lippe-Morrison fought his first televised bout on Showtime against fellow unbeaten Ed Latimore. Kampen, a significant step up in competition for Lippe-Morrison, received a tremendous amount of attention.
After Lippe-Morrison scored two hard knockdowns and stopped Latimore in less than 2 ½ minutes, the boxing community was buzzing with questions. Is he going to be a world champion like his late father Tommy Morrison? Will he be on the fast track to stardom? Is he America’s next great hope?
According to his promoter Tony Holden, they will take their time to find out.
"Trey is definitely a good prospect and his most recent win demonstrated that. He has devastating power and is improving under Freddie Roach, who has done a fantastic job with him. Samtidig, it’s important to remember as a promoter it’s my utmost duty to take our time and move him strategically.”
Lip-Morrison, 12-0 (12 KO s), continues to sell out shows as the main attraction and is scheduled to return in December at the Buffalo Run Casino where he is a member of the “Four State Franchise.” Since his impressive victory, Holden’s recieved multiple offers for Lippe-Morrison to return to TV in early 2017. I sidste ende, the plan is to mix in the right TV fights and untelevised bouts at the Buffalo Run, where his impact goes beyond boxing.
"The economy here is struggling and for some, boxing is one of the few things they have to look forward to,"Sagde Holden, who promoted Tommy Morrison and has promoted Lippe-Morrison since his pro debut. “This is our professional franchise and the commuinity has rallied behind Trey. He is fighting for them and it’s very heartwarming to see the relationship Trey has developed with his fans. Wherever he fights, Trey is representing the “Four State Franchise” and our community. I sidste ende, the team is going to make smart decisions and get him to that next level when we collectively agree the time is right.”
Official particulars on Lippe-Morrison’s next bout will be announced Torsdag, November 3.

ZUBOV: I CAME TO DETROIT TO BECOME CHAMPION

Russian cruiserweight is back in action on November 12 at the latest ‘Detroit Brawl’ at the Masonic Temple

Last April at the Turning Stone in Verona, New York, and with the ShoBox: The New Generation cameras rolling, Alexey Zubov admits he choked.

“I was nervous. I never fought on a big show,” explained Zubov of the unanimous decision loss he suffered to Moldova’s Constantin Bejenaru. “It was such a huge step in my career and I felt frozen by nerves.”
Fighters often make excuses when they lose, but with Zubov, there may be some validity. Normally a very active fighter with a high work rate, Zubov appeared listless and sluggish for eight uneventful rounds.
“Life doesn’t always go the way you want. Losing that fight made me stronger. It was a good lesson for me and it was good for my experience to fight on that level. And now I know what it’s like. That will never happen again.”
Zubov will continue his quest for another shot at the big time on Lørdag, November 12, at Salita Promotions’ “Detroit Brawl” event at the Masonic Temple in Downtown Detroit.
Sponsored by Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, billetter til “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, $63, $38, og $28 and available at all Ticketmaster outlets andTicketmaster.com.
Originally from Magnitogorsk, Rusland, Zubov says he’s enjoyed his last eight months living in Detroit and working with the late Emanuel Steward’s nephew Javan “Sukker” Hill at the resurgent Kronk Gym.
“I came to Detroit to become a champion. I want to show everyone that I’m a world-class cruiserweight and I want to show everyone all the things Javan has been teaching me. He is a great trainer and I have a very good relationship him.”
When not in training, Zubov says he loves the challenge of adapting to a new culture, virtually alone.
“I only miss my parents, but we talk everyday on Skype or Facetime and they support me all the way. I don’t have many Russian-speaking friends in Detroit. Most of the time, I practice my English to try and learn it well. Hver dag, I challenge myself to learn new words. I’ve always been like that. Just like my boxing skills. Every day I push myself to be better.”
Zubov says in near-perfect English that he’d love the chance to settle some unfinished business.

“I want a rematch with Bejenaru so bad. I can do so much better than that. I know I can. I will prove I can. I will not stop until I do.”

SHOWTIME® Continues To Deliver Boxing’s Biggest and Best Fights
Bouts Presented In Association With Premier Boxing Champions Include
Garcia vs. Thurman, Frampton vs. Santa Cruz II and Cuellar vs. Mødre

NEW YORK (Oktober. 25, 2016) – SHOWTIME Sports will present seven marquee boxing matches pitting top-10 rated champions in the prime of their careers against fellow top-10 rated challengers over four consecutive months beginning in December. Tidsplanen, which is the second robust boxing programming announcement from SHOWTIME in 2016, was announced today by Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President og General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports. The lineup includes two long-awaited championship matchups, Jesus Cuellar vs. Abner Mares and Jermall Charlo vs. Julian Williams; the can’t-miss featherweight rematch between Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz, and a welterweight unification blockbuster between undefeated champions Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia. All four of these anticipated bouts will be presented in association with Premier Boxing Champions.

SHOWTIME Sports produced the strongest lineup of world-class boxing events of any network this year, delivering 18 world title fights devoid of mismatches and “tune-up” fights. The best fought the best, and the results were spectacular: two “Fight of the Year” contenders, Thurman-Shawn Porter and Santa Cruz-Frampton; a “Knockout of the Year” frontrunner by one of boxing’s biggest punchers, Deontay Wilder; and the arrival of one of boxing’s most marketable new stars in Anthony Joshua. SHOWTIME also featured the trio of junior middleweight champions, the Charlo twins, Jermall and Jermell, and Erislandy Lara, all in title fights on one card; highlighted the world’s best featherweights in Santa Cruz, Frampton, Gary Russell Jr. and Lee Selby; and set the table for the title unification fight between super middleweight champions Badou Jack and James DeGale.

Boxing’s brightest stars will again take center stage on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® as the network prepares to present the following seven matchups, including six world title fights, over a 12-week span. All bouts will air live on SHOWTIME with the exception of Garcia vs. Thurman, which will either air live in Primetime on CBS or live on SHOWTIME.

Seven of the 14 fighters are undefeated, while the champions and challengers in the six world title fights boast a combined 313 wins versus just six losses.

December 10: Jesus Cuellar (28-1, 21 KOS) vs. Abner Mares (29-2-1, 15 KOS)*
Jermall Charlo (24-0, 18 KOS) vs. Julian Williams (22-0-1, 14 KOS)*

Januar 14: Badou Jack (20-1-2, 12 KOS) vs. James Degale (23-1, 14 KOS)**

Januar 28: Carl Frampton (23-0, 14 KOS) vs. Leo Santa Cruz (32-1-1, 18 KOS)* Dejan Zlaticanin (18-0, 11 KOS) vs. Mikey Garcia (35-0, 29 KOS)*

Februar 11: Adrien Broner (32-2, 24 KOS) vs. Adrian Granados (18-4-2, 12 KOS)

Marts 4: Danny Garcia (32-0, 18 KOS) vs. Keith Thurman (27-0, 22 KOS)**

*World title bout
 **World title unification bout

“This is a slate of high-level, evenly-matched, 50/50 fights – the best fighting the best – which has become the calling card of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING,” said Espinoza. “Every fight we are announcing today features a top 10-ranked champion taking on a top 10-ranked challenger; in many cases, it’s top-five vs. top-five.

“This is our second major boxing lineup announcement this year, further proof that no other network is delivering high-quality competitive fights – without relying on PPV – as consistently as SHOWTIME. No other network is as committed to driving the sport forward. SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is giving subscribers the best that boxing has to offer.”

Lørdag, December. 10 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®
Presented in association with Premier Boxing Champions

In a highly anticipated featherweight blockbuster, hårdtslående Jesus Cuellarwill make the second defense of his WBA 126-pound title against Abner Mares, a three-division champ who has compiled a staggering resume while collecting belts at 118, 122 og 126 pounds. Cuellar vs. Mares is the latest in a lineup of action-oriented 126-pound showdowns assembled with the goal of unifying one of the sport’s most talent-laden divisions. It will be the fifth featherweight world championship of 2016 på SHOWTIME.

On Dec. 10, there also will be a long-awaited world championship contest between two undefeated 154-pound fighters. Jermall Charlo will make the third defense of his IBF Junior Middleweight World Championship against No. 1 obligatoriske udfordrer Julian Williams in a matchup of 26-year-old fighters at the top of their game. Charlo vs. Williams becomes the sixth title or world title eliminator in the 154-pound weight class in 2016 på SHOWTIME, a roster featuring eight of the top-10 fighters in the division.

Lørdag, Jan. 14 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING

Super middleweight world champions Badou Jack og James Degale are set to unify the 168-pound class. Both champions retained their titles on a doubleheader last April 30 på SHOWTIME. Jack kept his WBC belt in a controversial draw with longtime titlist Lucian Bute that many thought Jack clearly won. Earlier that evening, DeGale successfully defended his IBF crown with a unanimous decision over mandated challenger Rogelio Medina. Jack landed 61 procent af hans magt slag, while DeGale connected on an astonishing 66 procent af hans magt skud. Nu, Jack and DeGale will face off in a long-awaited unification to determine the No. 1 fighter in the super middleweight division.

Lørdag, Jan. 28 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING
Presented in association with Premier Boxing Champions

The most anticipated rematch in boxing will take place when Carl Framptonog Leo Santa Cruz square off in an immediate rematch of a leading 2016 Fight of the Year kandidat. In their first encounter Juli 30 på SHOWTIME, former super bantamweight champ Frampton moved up in weight to challenge fellow unbeaten Santa Cruz, edging the three-division titlist in a firefight. The must-see rematch will be the sixth featherweight world championship on SHOWTIME in less than 12 måneder.

The co-feature pits undefeated lightweights Dejan Zlaticanin against resurgent fan favorite Mikey Garcia. Zlaticanin is making the first defense of his WBC 135-pound crown against the former two-division titlist in Garcia. The champion is the No. 1 fighter på 135 pounds, while Garcia is aiming to become a three-division world champion in just his second fight back from a two-and-a-half year layoff.

Lørdag, Februar. 11 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING

Fire-division verdensmester Adrien Broner will face the streaking Adrian Granados in a matchup of top-10 ranked 140-pound fighters. The flashy Broner, who has captured titles at 130, 135, 140 og 147 pounds, has scored two consecutive knockouts in the super lightweight division. The hard-charging, all-action Granados, who pulled a stunning upset of then-undefeated WBC No. 1 ranked super lightweight Amir Imam in a dominating performance last November on SHOWTIME, thrives in the underdog role and has a deceiving record – his four defeats, all via split or majority decision, have come against opponents with a cumulative record of 52-1.

Lørdag, Marts 4 – SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING
Presented in association with Premier Boxing Champions

Undefeated welterweight world champions Keith Thurman og Danny Garciahave been on a collision course for more than a year. Thurman has held a version of the WBA Welterweight World Championship since 2013 but announced his arrival in March 2015 with an emphatic win over Robert Guerrero. Thurman has since defended the title twice, including most recently against former world champion Shawn Porter in a potential Fight of the Year thriller in June on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS. Garcia, after conquering the 140-pound division, captured the WBC Welterweight World Championship with an impressive performance against Guerrero in January. Should Garcia defeat Samuel Vargas on November. 12 i en kamp uden titel, he and Thurman are set to meet in a marquee unification blockbuster between undefeated champions at the pinnacle of their careers. Garcia vs. Thurman will air live in Primetime on CBS or live on SHOWTIME.

MIAMI, Okla. (Syv. 24, 2016) – On a night when undefeated heavyweight Trey Lippe Morrison won his television debut and Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk og Ivan "The Volk" Golub forblev ubesejret, lys sværvægter Radivoje "Hot Rod" Kalajdzic regained his winning ways by registering a fifth-round knockout over previously unbeaten Travis Peterkin i de vigtigste tilfælde af en ShoBox: Den nye generation quadrupleheader leve på SHOWTIME Fredag fra Buffalo Run Kasino i Miami, Okla.

 

Gør hans ShoBox debut and first start since suffering his lone defeat on a disputed decision to Marcus Browne, a motivated Kalajdzic (22-1, 15 KOS) St. Petersburg, Fla., dropped Peterkin (16-1-1, 7 KOS), of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, N.Y., two times in the fifth before the fight was stopped at 1:32.

 

Other televised results: Baranchyk (12-0, 10 KOS), af Brooklyn, N.Y., took a 10-round unanimous decision over Wang Zhimin (7-1, 3 KOS, 7-1 WSB), af Nutley, N.J. i form af Ningbo, Porcelæn, i ShoBox co-feature; immensely popular local favorite and son of the late former world heavyweight champion, Tommy ”The Duke” Morrison, sværvægter Trey Lippe Morrison (12-0, 12 KOS) demolished previously unbeaten Ed Latimore (13-1, 7 KOS), of Pittsburgh, Pa., scoring a 2:19, first-round TKO; and Ukrainian welterweight Golub (13-0, 11 KOS, 5-0 WSB), af Brooklyn, registered a third-round knockout over James Stevenson(23-3, 16 KOS), af Baltimore, Md.

 

Kalajdzic overwhelmed Peterkin with consistent aggression, superior fighting spirit and better power. Han landede 45 procent af hans magt skud, Herunder 60 percent in the final round. Mere, he led 37-7 in body connects.

 

“The one-dimensional nature of Travis Peterkin cost him big time because he had no answer for Hot Rod’s right hand, and when he threw his own power shots they were ineffective,'' ShoBox ekspert analytiker Steve Farhood said afterward. “He was exposed i aften, and Kalajdzic rejuvenated his career after the loss with Marcus Browne.”

 

A 6-foot-2 native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kalajdzic dropped Peterkin the first time with a right-left combination and finished him with a right-left-right combination. Peterkin fell heavily in a neutral corner, prompting the referee to stop it.

 

“He was a little bit awkward so it took me a little bit to find my range but once I did and I got into a rhythm, I knew he wasn’t going to last,’’ Kalajdzic said. “We have been working on staying patient and finding that range and it showed i aften.

 

“I wanted to make a statement in this fight and I did. I want the biggest names in the light heavyweight division, but before that I want Marcus Browne again. That is unfinished business for me. If he really thinks he won the fight then let’s do it again. We could fight next week. I’m ready.’’

 

Baranchyk, despite getting cut for the first time in his career (over his left eye in the fifth), vundet af snesevis af 100-90 to gange og 99-91. Der var ingen knockdowns.

 

The rounds, particularly in the fight’s second half, were competitive. Both fighters landed a high percentage of power shots, 44 percent for Baranchyk, 41 percent for Zhimin, but the difference was that Baranchyk was busier, crisper and physically stronger.

 

Going more than four rounds for the first time, he answered questions about his late-round stamina and feels he is now ready to step up again.

“The 140-pound division is loaded with talent,’’ Baranchyk sagde. “There are tons of fighters I would love to fight, but there are two guys in particular I’d like to fight next: Maurice Hooker and Abel Ramos. Hooker is with Roc Nation and is above me in the ratings. He’s undefeated and this would be a great fight to prove I’m one of the best up-and-coming guys in this division. I’d love Ramos to fight Ramos too. We are both promoted by DBE and I have heard he called me out. He’s a come forward guy and those are the type of fights I like and that make for great TV.

“I love the fans here in Miami and I love fighting on ShoBox. This was my first time going 10 rounds and I feel great. Of course I would have liked to get the knockout because I always want to put on a spectacular show, men dette var en stor lærerig oplevelse for mig. He was an extremely tough opponent and I was surprised he was able to take so many big shots. We have been working on being patient and boxing and I was able to show that i aften.''

 

Wang, who gave his best and never allowed Baranchyk to relax, sagde, “I felt a little tight and I couldn’t get my punches off like I wanted to. He was a little too big for me.’’

 

In a performance that lit up the arena, Lippe Morrison dropped Latimore two times and was on the verge of knocking him down again when the referee stepped in and halted matters at 2:19. Morrison decked Latimore the first time with a right hand midway through the first. Øjeblikke senere, Latimore went down again from two rights and a left hook. After a series of shots, the referee stopped it.

 

“You know I have to watch the fight, but I think I did alright,’’ said Morrison after what was supposed to be the most dangerous assignment of his career. “I know I have to be patient and work behind my jab and just take the opening that I see – patiently. Being patient is something I’ve really been working on. I really felt my patience this time.

 

“I didn’t expect it to end this quick. I knew it might, but I didn’t plan on it. It felt good to drop a guy with my left hand. I never had the accuracy or quickness with the left that I do know. I now feel that I am equally adept with both hands. My left is like my right.

 

“To win a fight like this is definitely a relief. I was nervous about the fight, but not about fighting on TV. This was supposed to be my toughest fight on paper and I think I did well.

 

“I feel I may have opened some eyes, but that’s in large part to Freddie Roach. I feel I’m improving thanks to Freddie. I’m throwing quicker, snappier punches and the coordination between my footwork with my hands is way better. All that is because of Freddie.

 

“I wasn’t going for the KO but I’m glad it happened. I could not have done it without Freddie, der er sikker. I’ll be going back to California in a week and then right to the gym.”

 

The knockout was Lippe Morrison’s ninth in the first round. He also has two second-round knockouts and one fourth-round KO in a career that began in February 2014.

 

“We want to see more of Trey Lippe Morrison,'Farhood sagde. “Let’s let Freddie Roach to do a little bit more of work with him. He had a tremendous pressure on him i aften, but he did fantastically and he responded very well. He made a big step up in class i aften and couldn’t have produced a better result: a first-round knockout.”

 

After a competitive, fast-paced first round, Golub took over as Stevenson appeared to tire. A picturesque right hook to the chin dropped and staggered Stevenson, who still wobbly, got up by the count of five, but Golub continued his two-fisted assault, delivered over 20 unanswered punches and the referee stopped it.

 

“To me the guy that stole the show was Golub,"Sagde Farhood. “We keep thinking of him as a boxer but he showed tremendous power i aften. He knocked out a very sturdy opponent in Stevenson and Baranchyk will benefit tremendously by going 10 runder. He showed a lot by throwing as many punches as he did late in the fight against an opponent who simply wouldn’t be hurt.’’

 

“I could see from the first round that he was leaving himself wide open when he was coming in,’’ said Golub after his second ShoBox begyndelse. “I knew it was only a matter of time until I caught him with something really big and I would get him out of there. I’m happy with the performance but know I still have a lot to improve on. Our game plan was to be patient and box and let him come to us. I’m looking forward to getting back in there soon and continuing to climb the ranks of the welterweight division.’’

Fredagens four-fight telecast that was promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Tony Holden Productions in association with Fight Promotions and Roc Nation Sports will re-air Mandag på 10 p.m. OG/PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME og vil være tilgængelig på SHOWTIME On Demand begynder i dag, Lørdag, Syv. 24.

Nedenfor er, hvad krigere havde at sige før Torsdagens indvejningen:

 

Radivoje KALAJDZIC

”Dette er mit andet 10-runde kamp, ​​og det er mod en anden ubesejret southpaw fra New York. Jeg ser frem til denne kamp, ​​og jeg er ivrig efter at se fremad.

 

”Jeg var meget ked af efter min sidste kamp [en kontroversiel beslutning tab til ubesejrede Marcus Browne]. Jeg var ikke rigtig gal nødvendigvis på mig selv eller mit team; Det var for det meste dommeren. Derefter, bagefter, da jeg så reaktionen fra fans, der helt booed beslutningen, selv tog deres Marcus Browne T-shirts fra, Jeg følte ikke så dårligt.

 

"På fredag Jeg ønsker at komme ind og ser godt ud, og forhåbentlig stoppe denne fyr. Jeg ønsker at se bedre og renere end jeg gjorde imod Browne. Jeg kæmpede OK imod Browne, men jeg burde have brugt min jab mere og ikke tillod ham at få fat i og holde mig så meget.

 

”Jeg ledte for meget at lande min ret. Jeg ved, at jeg skal gøre bedre til at sætte den op ved jabbing først. Og ved stansning i bundter.

”En stor gevinst Fredag vil ikke fjerne den samlede brodden af ​​min sidste kamp; intet kan slette resultatet. Men da Browne ikke ønsker at give mig en omkamp, Jeg har ikke tænkt mig at bare jage ham. Jeg er nødt til at komme videre.

 

”Mod Peterkin, Jeg ønsker at holde det simpelt - jab, bevæge sig og bruge den højre hånd. Jeg har brug for at holde ham på enden af ​​mine slag. Det ser ud som om han kommer på dig, men jeg har tænkt mig at komme på ham, for, på en smart måde. Jeg vil prøve og komme ind, kvæle ham. Jeg fik aldrig chancen mod Browne på grund af alle bedriftens.

 

”Peterkin er ubesejret, holdbare og kommer til at vinde. Jeg forventer en meget hård kamp. Men alt går efter planen. Jeg havde om sjette måneders forberedelse. Fejlene jeg lavede i min sidste kamp er blevet rettet. De vil ikke ske igen. Jeg har en mulighed i denne kamp for at slette alle de bitre minder fra min sidste kamp.’’

 

TRAVIS PETERKIN

”Making 175 pounds er OK. Jeg kan gøre vægten med noget problem. Så vægten er ingen spørgsmål. Hvis der var en vægtklasse på 185, Jeg ville nok være i det, men 175 er fint. Jeg er klar.

 

”Jeg så’Hot Rod’tæt mod Browne. Det var helt sikkert en god kamp. Jeg føler Marcus kunne have vundet let, hvis han ville have afsluttet arbejdet i nogle af runder. Hvis han bliver uden han vinder nemt, men han ønskede at gøre et punkt ved at gå inde.

 

”Nu’Hot Rod’får mig, og det er en fantastisk mulighed for mig. Han er en god fighter og bør have en nul der på sine tab. Han har magt og er en anstændig counter-puncher. Men vi har forberedt ham. Vi kommer til at vinde, kasse eller slagsmål. Dette har været en af ​​mine bedste lejre i lang tid. Jeg er sikker på en sejr.

 

”Nøglen er at kontrollere, hvad der foregår i ringen, være smart og lytte til mit hjørne. Jeg mener, dette er absolut den hårdeste kamp for mig, og for ham, for.

 

’Jeg ser frem til kampen, og muligheden for at skabe et navn for mig selv 175. Det har været en lang rejse, men hvis jeg kan være mig selv og gøre, hvad jeg kom her for at gøre, Jeg vil være fint.’’

 

Oy BARANCHYK

”Det er ligesom et andet hjem for mig, kæmper i Miami. Jeg kan lide de mennesker. De synes at lide mig. Fredag bør være en spændende aften for alle.

 

”Mine sidste to kampe er endt hurtigt, men jeg altid træne og planlægger at gå 10 runder. Jeg har aldrig prøve for én-round knockouts. Jeg ser frem til det tidspunkt, hvor jeg kan vise lidt mere af min boksning og overordnede færdigheder. Jeg har tålmodighed.

 

”Jeg tror, ​​at min modstander er meget godt og har en masse erfaring. Han er bedre end de sidste to kæmpere jeg kæmpede. Jeg føler denne kamp kunne gå nogle runder. Men jeg har magt, så vi vil se.

 

”Jeg arbejder meget hårdt i gymnastiksalen. I spar 10 runder hver dag. Jeg fik at sparre et par runder med Danny Garcia for denne kamp. Træning med en verdensmester som ham var en enorm læreproces, og det hjalp mig meget. Jeg håber, at nogle af det viser på fredag.''

 

WANG Zhimin

”Jeg vil gerne takke alle for denne chance for at kæmpe. Jeg er forberedt på alt. Min modstander er en meget erfaren bokser med et godt omdømme. Dette er absolut et skridt op og min største kamp.

 

”Jeg kan love dig en ting: Vi vil sætte på en spændende show for dig.

 

”Mit mål er at i sidste ende skal kæmpe for en verden titel. Det tager en masse tid, tålmodighed og arbejde inde i gymnastiksalen.

 

”Jeg er kendt for min aggressivitet, men jeg arbejder hele tiden på boksning mere. Jeg føler, at jeg har forbedret meget siden jeg var en amatør.

 

”Så jeg er klar til denne kamp. Han kan være en stor puncher men jeg ser ikke på hans tal. Dette er en fast matchup, en korsvej kamp og en god mulighed for os begge.’’

 

TREY LIPPE MORRISON

”Dette er en reel, væsentligt skridt op for mig, men jeg er nødt til at nærme det som jeg altid gør.

 

”Flytning til Hollywood [Calif.] var en stor forandring for mig, men det betød jeg kunne træne med Freddie Roach. Han boostet min selvtillid lige ved det faktum, at han indvilligede i at tage mig på. Så han må have set noget.

 

”Der er så mange ting, vi arbejder på: ring generalship, fodarbejde, ting at se til, ting at undgå.

 

”Dette er en hård kamp for os begge, en farlig test. Latimore er afgjort min hårdeste modstander hidtil.

 

”Jeg kender en masse mennesker er interesseret i at se mig og se, hvordan jeg gør på grund af min far. Men da jeg går på, de vil se jeg er min egen person,.

 

”Fighting her igen på Buffalo Run er altid spændende, men en ring er en ring; der er ingen hjemme felt fordel. Jeg helt sikkert sætte pris fans’ støtte, men jeg kan ikke tænke på det.

 

”En af disse dage vil jeg kæmpe en person, der kan tage min skud. Det kunne være Latimore, men hvis det sker, Jeg vil være klar til det. Som for mig at tage et skud, Jeg har været rystet i sparring, men ikke i en live kamp.

 

”Såre min højre hånd i min sidste kamp var en virkelig velsignelse. Jeg vidste, at jeg altid havde magt i det, men nu har jeg hurtighed og præcision til at gå sammen med det. Min hånd har ikke givet mig nogen problemer overhovedet i uddannelse. Så jeg tænker ikke over det. Hvis jeg ondt det igen, Jeg vil bare beskæftige sig med det og kæmpe videre.’’

FREDDIE ROACH, Morrisons Trainer

”Jeg skulle være i Filippinerne, men jeg er meget tæt med Manny Pacquiao og jeg fortalte ham, 'Hør efter, Manny, Jeg har tænkt mig at være en uge sent, fordi jeg har en stor kamp med Trey kommer op,’Og han sagde, ’Vi ses i en uge. Få den sejr.’

”Vi er en 100 procent klar. Vi har store sparringspartnere. Vi har gjort store arbejde, og jeg ved, han kommer fra en brækket hånd, og han ikke har kæmpet i et stykke tid, men hans styrke og konditionering går rigtig godt. Dette vil være en stor kamp, ​​og jeg forventer ham til at være på sit bedste. [Ser man på Ed Latimore] Du kommer til at føle sin magt.

”Trey har meget god effekt og bryde hans hånd hjalp ham. Vi fik at udvikle begge hænder, og nu har han knockout magten i begge hænder.

”Ed Latimore er en meget vanskelig modstander, men jeg tror, ​​Trey vil slå ham.’

Latimore ED

”Hele Mit mål er at være helt rolig, afslappet og i kontrol. Det er ikke en fysisk eller psykisk ting.

 

”Jeg føler, at jeg er kommet en lang vej, og jeg forbedres hele tiden. Der var tidspunkter, hvor jeg var overthinking i ringen, men ikke mere. Jeg arbejder på teknik hver eneste dag; min arbejdsmoral er upåklagelig.

 

”Jeg er blevet sådan en bedre studerende af boksning. Da jeg først begyndte at se, Jeg troede, det var kedeligt. Så lærte jeg at se, og begyndte at lægge mærke til de subtile ting foregår. Jeg ved nu, hvad jeg kigger på, når jeg se film og jeg ser tingene helt anderledes, end jeg gjorde før. Nu ved jeg, hvad de skal gøre med, hvad jeg lærer.

 

”Jeg kan være lille for en sværvægter, men jeg aldrig kommer til at være en af ​​de store fyre, så jeg ikke sætte en masse vægt på størrelse. Hvis du kan kæmpe, du kan kæmpe. Jeg arbejder på at udvikle færdigheder. Stansning magt kommer fra teknik og repetition, ikke altid fra størrelse.

 

”Jeg ser frem til en god kamp. Jeg er nødt til at forblive komponeret. Morrison kan lide at komme helt ud på dig, men jeg har ikke planer om at bare lade ham komme på mig som han gjorde hans andre modstandere. Jeg har noget, jeg har planer om at gøre, som vil give ham noget at tænke over.

 

”Fighting ham er enorm for mig. Hans navn betyder meget. Han er den hårdeste fyr jeg har kæmpet. Men jeg tænker ikke over mine følelser og kæmpe for hans hjemby. Vi vidste, hvad vi var at komme ind, og der er ikke noget, vi kan gøre ved det. Der er ting, der er uden for din kontrol.

 

”Jeg er stadig i skole, hovedfag i fysik, men jeg tog et semester off. Derefter, denne lejlighed kom sammen. Ingen måde jeg kunne gøre begge dele lige nu. Jeg nyder, hvor langt jeg er kommet i boksning. Jeg tror det hårde arbejde betaler sig.

 

”Jeg er overbevist om jeg vil vinde Fredag. Det kommer til at være en stor.’’

IVAN Golub

”Jeg har primært arbejdet på min indvendige spil og indstilling ned på mine slag sidst. Jeg ved Stevenson er en god bokser, en behændig fyr, der ved, hvad gøre for at. Jeg er nødt til at forsøge at holde patienten, arbejde jab, arbejde kroppen og sætte på tryk.

 

”I de amatører det var mere om point. Winning var OK med point, men i US. du har brug for mere end det.

 

”Min tankegang går ind i hver kamp er på at gå afstanden. Jeg ser frem til at kæmpe Stevenson. Udover hans boksning evne, han tager et godt skud.

 

”Dette vil være en reel test for mig, min hårdeste test. Jeg er en naturlig 160 men kan gøre weltervægt nemt. Det har været en god lejr for mig.’’

 

JAMES STEVENSON

”Jeg tror, ​​at min modstander er sandsynligvis tager mig let. Men han kommer til at se en anden mig. Jeg kigger på dette som et must-win, kan-win kamp. Fødslen af ​​min datter for nylig helt vækkede mig. Det fik mig til at indse det var tid til at rette op, standse gaderne og helt fokusere på mit job. Jeg er nødt til at tage sig af hende. Den ekstra ansvar gjorde mig ændre mine veje.

 

”Så denne træningslejr har været helt anderledes end nogen jeg har haft før. Jeg er virkelig forberedt. Jeg er ikke kommet her for at køre, Jeg kommer til at vinde. Jeg er bestemt ikke her for at være nogens modstander.

 

”Det har været vanvittigt i min hjemby. Hele byen Baltimore er bag mig, og det er meget spændende. Fredager den vigtigste kamp nogensinde for mig, og jeg glæder mig til det.

 

”Jeg er overbevist om jeg kan være den første til at besejre Golub.’’

GORDON HALL, Senior Vice President for Produktion, SHOWTIME Sports & Executive Producer,ShoBox: Den nye generation

"I morgen nat vi har otte kæmpere med en samlet kombineret referat af 114-3-1. Vi har ubesejrede krigere vender mod hinanden. Vi havde 151 krigere kæmpe på ShoBox, og miste det 0.

Travis Peterkin er ubesejret, så for mig er det en kamp mellem to ubesejrede kæmpere i lyset sværvægter division, som har Adonis Stevenson, Andre Ward, Sergey Kovalev.

“Hot Rod” Kalajdzic Faces Undefeated Travis Peterkin in Main Event,
Ivan Baranchyk, Wang Zhimin in Clash of Unbeaten Junior Welterweights, Welterweight Ivan Golub Risks Perfect Record Against James Stevenson

Live på SHOWTIME® på 10 p.m. OG/PT

NEW YORK (Syv. 21, 2016) - Trey Lippe Morrison er 11-0 med 11 knockouts. He is the son of the late former world heavyweight championTommy ”The Duke” Morrison. A Grove, Okla., indfødte, Trey resides in Hollywood, Calif., and is trained by Freddie Roach at Wild Card Gym.

 

Dette Fredag, Syv. 23, Morrison makes his eagerly awaited television debut when he faces fellow unbeaten and Roc Nation prospect Ed Latimore (13-0, 7 KOS), of Pittsburgh, Pa., in the second bout of a ShoBox: Den nye generation quadrupleheader leve på SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten) fra Buffalo Run Kasino i Miami, Okla.

 

Morrison, der vender 27 på Syv. 27, has recorded eight first-round knockouts, two second-round knockouts and one fourth-round KO in a career that began in February 2014. He bears a striking resemblance to his late father facially, physique-wise and with his fighting style, wears red, white and blue trunks with “TOMMY” written across the belt. He has fought all but one of his fights in Oklahoma; this is his 10th start at Buffalo Run.

 

A popular member of Holden’s Four State Franchise stable, the 6-foot-2 Morrison is fighting for the first time since he underwent surgery on his right tendon from an injury suffered in his most recent bout, a fourth-round TKO over Thomas Hawkins sidste Jan. 23.

 

Below is what Morrison and Roach said about Trey’s fight against LatimoreFredag, his up-and-coming career, life outside the ring, remembrances of his father, working with Freddie and more:

“I’m going to approach this fight against Latimore just the same way I approached my first 11 slagsmål,’’ said Morrison ahead of the scheduled six-round bout. “I’ve gained a lot of confidence and a lot of new skills, and I’m just honored to be able to showcase them. Being on SHOWTIME is just a huge bonus.”

 

Morrison’s thoughts on Ed Latimore …

“I’ve watched a little bit of video. He’s really similar to me. The way he bobs his head all the time and is a real aggressive fighter and always comes forward. It’s almost like I’m fighting a clone of myself. He kind of has that Mike Tyson style, and that’s what I expect to see. If he doesn’t come at me that way, then I’ll have to have a game plan for something else.”

 

Is Latimore your toughest fight to date? …

“Oh, Ja. Selvfølgelig. 100 procent. His record says it all [13-0, 7 KOS]. He’s athletic. From just what I’ve seen of his past fights, he would be the toughest guy I’ve fought so far.”

 

On the injury suffered in his last fight …

“I feel like it is 100 percent healed. It was kind of a freak accident. I threw an uppercut and it hit him in the hard part of his head. Since I’ve been able to put my glove on it, it hasn’t been a problem.”

 

What are the keys to this fight? …

“I think you always find the keys within the first couple rounds of the fight. That’s when you figure someone out. I figure I’m just going to be patient, and wait for my shot and when it comes, take it.”

 

Tommy was known as a left-hooker, you’re known for a strong right hand? Did you work more on your left when you were sidelined? …

 

“Oh, ja. Tremendously. I would say me being hurt was a blessing. I think it helped me more than it hurt me. I was really able to develop and sharpen my left hand. So right now I feel like my left hand is just as lethal as my right. I’m confident I can now do everything with my left that I can with my right. I was more of a right-handed fighter before because my left hand wasn’t as developed yet. My timing and my speed wasn’t quite there with my left before, but now I’m good with both.”

 

On working with Freddie Roach…

“I’ve been working with Freddie for about a year now. I’m living in West Hollywood; right smack dab in the middle of all the craziness. But I stay away from all of it. I’m more of a hermit. If I’m not training, I’m at home. I really don’t go out much. I really just like being alone at times and being at my place. I don’t have many hobbies. I would say I’m a nerd. I like to play video games with my friends online.”

 

How did you end up with Freddie?

“I originally moved out here to train with Jesse Reid. He decided he wanted to make a move to Las Vegas, and that just wasn’t a move my promoter, Tony Holden, and I were going to make. Since I was already here, Tony had a lunch with Freddie who agreed to look at me. So I had a private session with him and after that he said he’d be willing to work with me.”

 

How much have you learned under Freddie’s watchful eye? …

“I’ve learned so much — probably everything. And anything I was good at before, he’s sharpened it. I’d probably give him full credit for everything. The guys I’ve sparred with have also taught me a lot. It’s really helped me in every way possible.”

 

Did you play sports in high school? …

“I played football, basketball and track. I played tight end and defensive end in football and I ran the hurdles and threw the shot and disc. I played four years of college football at the University of Central Arkansas. I played defensive end there. I had a couple of pro teams looking at me, but I screwed up my senior year and ended getting kicked off the team. I made some bad decisions, just being a dumb college kid, and that led to it. When boxing came up, it was like a second chance for me.

 

“I wasn’t ready for my athletic career to be over. Football ended for me because I made bad decisions. I needed to be told that I wasn’t good enough for me to move on and go out and get a regular job. Around the same time that happened, my dad passed away. My mom told me that Tony Holden had a casino in the next town from where I went to high school. I had never met him before but we went out and had a great time talking about my dad. So I popped the question to him and asked if he’d help me get into boxing. He said absolutely not. I told him I was going to give it a shot because I wasn’t able to give up athletics. He called me back three days later."

 

Do you feel pressure being the son of Tommy Morrison? …

"Yeah. I think there’s a lot of pressure on me to do well, and I think that really weighed on me the first couple of fights. That’s always going to be there. No matter who I fight, or how good I do, they are always going to compare me to my dad. I just have to deal with it. There definitely is pressure, but I can deal with it better now.

 

“When I first started, people were comparing my first fight ever with how my dad ended his career…to his best fight. So obviously I wasn’t going to match up that way. I knew that I’d get better and that one day I’d get there.”

 

How would you describe your relationship with your father? …

“I’d say our relationship was awesome. We were great friends. Du ved, our time got cut short, and we didn’t get to spend a lot of time together. But the time we did have was amazing. And we really cherished it.”

 

Would you think your dad would be proud of you today, following in his footsteps?

“I think he would be proud of me. I wish he was here because the things he would say would help me a lot. I really do think he’d be proud.”

 

How much has your promoter Tony Holden meant to you?

 

“I wouldn’t be where I’m at without him. I can’t even put it into words. Ærligt, if I would have started boxing without him, no one would know who I was. Everything I have in boxing, is because of him. I met him in October of 2013, two or three months before I got into boxing.”

 

 

Freddie Roach, a seven-time Boxing Writers Association of America Trainer of the Year and 2012 inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, will be in Morrison’s corner Fredag i Miami. He said Trey is dedicated, a joy to work with and has continued to improve. But he remains a work in progress.

 

“Trey’s a very nice person, a simple guy, real polite like most boxers.’’.

 

“He inherited his father’s punch. He’s a big puncher. He’s learned how to box and is getting better every day. He tries hard. I like the way he’s progressing. He holds his own with some of the veteran guys here at the gym and is doing very well.

 

“Once he learns to box a little more, he’s going to make a lot more noise in the division. My thoughts on the heavyweights right now is that it is not all that strong of a division. [Anthony] Joshua may be the best, and there are a couple other big names. But I think the division is mostly wide open for guys who have heart and balls and are ready to take it the distance. Trey’s that kind of kid.’’

 

It was Roach who wanted this fight. “His manager asked me if he was ready and I said he was 100 procent klar. Latimore is his toughest fight, but it’s time to step up.’’

 

 

I Fredagens ShoBox main event, gang-slået Radivoje Kalajdzic (21-1, 14 KOS), St. Petersburg, Fla. will try and resume his winning ways when he meets undefeated Travis Peterkin (16-0-1, 7 KOS), af Brooklyn, N.Y.. i en 10-runde lys sværvægter skrot.

Billetter til salg nu

NEW YORK (Syv. 6, 2016) – Light heavyweight Radivoje "Hot Rod" Kalajdzic will face unbeaten southpaw Travis “The Notorious” Peterkin in the 10-round main event of a stacked ShoBox: Den nye generation quadrupleheader på Fredag, Syv. 23, lever videre SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten) fra Buffalo Run Kasino i Miami, Okla.

The combined record of the eight boxers on the televised card is 114-3-1 med 78 knockouts.

Kalajdzic, 25, St. Petersburg, Fla., og Peterkin, 26, of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, N.Y., vil gøre deres ShoBox debuts and initial 10-round starts.

This is Kalajdzic’s first fight since losing a highly controversial and questionable eight-round split decision to unbeaten 2012 Olympian Marcus Browne sidste April 16 i Brooklyn. Kalajdzic is clamoring for a rematch with the world-ranked Browne, but he can’t overlook the strong, athletic Peterkin, who is coming off a shutout decision over Larry Pryor sidste Marts 30 and is looking for a breakout performance.

I ShoBox co-feature, super lightweight powerhouse Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (11-0, 10 KOS), af Brooklyn, N.Y., faces Roc Nation prospect’s Wang Zhimin (7-0, 3 KOS, 7-1 WSB), af Nutley, N.J. i form af Ningbo, Porcelæn, in a 10-rounder for the vacant USBA 140-pound title. In a scheduled eight-round bout, ukrainsk weltervægt Ivan "The Volk" Golub (12-0, 10 KOS, 5-0 WSB), af Brooklyn, tager på James ”Keep'em Sleepin” Stevenson (23-2, 16 KOS), af Baltimore, Md.

Local favorite and son of the late former world heavyweight champion, Tommy ”The Duke” Morrison, sværvægter Trey Lippe Morrison (11-0, 11 KOS) makes his highly anticipated television debut against fellow unbeaten and Roc Nation prospect Ed Latimore (13-0, 7 KOS), of Pittsburgh, Pa., in the six-round telecast opener.

Billetter til arrangementet fremmes af DiBella Entertainment og Tony Holden Productions i samarbejde med Roc Nation Sports er prissat til $35, $55 og $75 og kan findes påbuffalorun.com og ved stubwire.com. (Den $35 tickets are sold out).

Kalajdzic (21-1, 14 KOS), a 6-foot-2 native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, turned pro in June 2011. Han vandt sin første 21 fights before losing to Browne in a bout in which many felt he won easily. Browne (18-0) landed an occasional hard shot, but Kalajdzic seemed to control the fight with his power and awkward style. Both boxers hit the deck, Kalajdzic (from what appeared to be a slip) in the first, Browne (clearly) in the sixth from a right hand to the head. Receiving credit for a knockdown in which no punch appeared to connect was the difference, and the fans booed when the scores of 76-75, 76-74 og 74-76 were announced.

“I am really excited about this fight and that I am on television again fighting another undefeated southpaw,"Sagde Kalajdzic. “I am continuing where I left off with training camp from my previous fight since it’s another southpaw, so I will be more than prepared. Forhåbentlig, Peterkin comes to fight and not hug like my last opponent did so we can give the fans a good fight.”

Peterkin (16-0-1, 7 KOS) would still have an unblemished record if not for losing two points in an eight-round majority draw with 2008 Dominikanske Olympian Lenin Castillo (12-0) den aug. 1, 2015 på Barclays center. Peterkin had a point deducted in the fourth for hitting after the break and in the fifth for a low blow. Pointene blev 76-74 og 75-75 to gange.

Despite the draw in his outing before last, Peterkin considered this the most gratifying moment of his life. Fra 2012-14, he stocked and served food in the suites at Barclays. In his most recent effort, Peterkin easily outpointed Pryor by the scores of 80-72 three times in New York. This will be Peterkin’s first fight outside of his home state.

A good boxer with excellent technique, Peterkin was introduced to boxing by his father, Bernard, en 1987 heavyweight Golden Gloves semifinalist, i 2001. Han gik 95-7 i amatører; after winning the 2010 New York Golden Gloves, he went pro in January 2011.

“I was ringside at Hot Rod’s last fight. Jeg respekterer ham, but I saw what his flaws are and will exploit them,” said Peterkin. “I am anticipating a war. Brooklyn is coming to Oklahoma and I will not disappoint. På Syv. 23, greatness beckons.”

Baranchyk, an offensive-minded fighting machine, packs outstanding power in both hands. He’s making his third appearance on ShoBox and third in a row at Buffalo Run. His otherShoBox starter, both first-round knockouts versus undefeated opponents, totaled a combined2:49.

The highly regarded, all-action Baranchyk registered a brutal, two-punch, 21-second stoppage over Nicholas Givhan (16-0-1) sidste Marts 25 på ShoBox at Buffalo Run. He scored a 2:28, første runde knockout løbet Shadi Shehadeh (9-0-2) i sin ShoBox debut last December. 11 i Houston, Texas.

Baranchyk was born in Minsk, Byelorussia and lives in Brooklyn. He’s won eight straight by knockout, including a third-round TKO over previously undefeated Joaquim "Eliseo” Cross (9-0-1) sidste Juni 25 at Buffalo Run. Dominant with his speed and power from the outset, Baranchyk dropped Cruz in the second. Cruz’s corner threw in the towel at 1:07 af den tredje.

Alle 10 of the 5-foot-7, 23-year-old Baranchyk’s knockouts have come inside three full rounds, including six in the first. He’s fought 22 rounds in an 11-fight career. The only time he went the distance was in his third fight, a four-rounder in December 2014. Baranchyk, a former European amateur standout, turned pro in June ‘14 and relocated to the United States a few months later.

“I couldn’t be more excited about returning to ShoBox,” said Baranchyk. “Zhimin is a very skilled fighter and he will be my toughest opponent yet. Men, I intend on ending this bout in devastating fashion. I guarantee you will see Zhimin on his back when the fight is over. I am looking to send a message to the rest of the junior welterweight division that I am someone to be feared.”

Zhimin, 30, turned pro in November 2010 and fought eight times in the WSB through 2011. After a three-year layoff, he relocated to the U.S. and has gone 7-0. He’s coming off an eight-round decision over Matthew Doherty sidste Juni 11. Zhimin had great success in the WSB, winning the gold in 2011 in his native China, defeating Yerzhan Mussafirov of Kazakhstan in the tightly contested lightweight final. Inden da, he reached the final in the Chinese National Boxing Championship in 2010, where he received a silver medal. I 2012, han vandt anden sølvmedalje, denne gang på Erdos International Boxing Competition.

“It’s an honor for me to be a part of this great event,” said Zhimin. “I want to thank the promoters, my team and everyone who gave me this opportunity. My goal is to get that belt. I know it’s a process full of challenges, but I am not afraid of what lies ahead. I know that I will make it. I have faith in myself. I will do whatever I can to prepare myself for this title showdown and give the fans my best performance and bring home the belt.”

Golub, a 27-year-old who, at 6-feet, is tall for a welterweight, turned pro as a middleweight in November 2012. At the outset of his career, Han gik 5-0 in the WSB. He’s gone 12-0 siden, vindende 10 af knockout, including his last six in a row, the last three as a welterweight.

I sin ShoBox debut, he touched the canvas for the first time in his career, but bounced back to blast out Marlon Waters with a series of combinations in the closing seconds of the sixth. He won by TKO.

Golub, a southpaw who’s coming off a second-round TKO over Ernesto Ortiz sidste Juli 21, was an outstanding amateur. Han gik 270-32 som amatør, was a five-time national champion in Ukraine and won bronze at the 2009 World Amateur Championships.

“Stevenson has a lot of experience and I am preparing for a very tough fight,” said Golub. “He is a guy that likes to sit on his punches and trade, which is exactly what I want. Once he feels my power, he is going to be in trouble. This will be an exciting fight for as long as it lasts.”

Stevenson is making his ShoBox debut. En pro da 2008, he won his first 21 scraps until losing by ninth-round TKO to then-undefeated Sammy Vasquez den aug. 8, 2014. The fight was competitive for five rounds before Vasquez took over. Stevenson went down in the ninth.

The 5-foot-11, 33-year-old Stevenson has won two-of-three since, herunder en femte runde TKO i Kevin Womack sidste Maj 14 in his first fight i 13 måneder. A hard-hitting boxer-puncher, Stevenson has feasted on modest opposition and is still seeking a signature victory.

Stevenson has produced a respectable record in spite of his career getting sidetracked by a series of setbacks and tragedies. I 2011, during a routine jog, a dog viciously attacked him, requiring Stevenson to get more than 20 stitches. Kort tid derefter, his father James Stevenson Sr. passed away, as did his mother-in-law.

“I appreciate the opportunity,” said Stevenson. “But they made a big mistake giving me the time to get ready for this fight. I’m training real hard and I’m coming to make a statement. I’m not scared of Golub and I promise it won’t go the distance. I’m putting him to sleep.”

Morrison has registered eight first-round knockouts, two second-round knockouts and one fourth-round KO in a career that began in February 2014. Morrison, who bears a striking resemblance to his late father facially, physique-wise and with his fighting style, turns 27 påSyv. 27. He’s fought all but one of his fights in Oklahoma; this is his 10th start at Buffalo Run.

A popular member of Holden’s Four State Franchise stable, the 6-foot-2 Morrison is fighting for the first time since he underwent surgery on his right tendon from an injury suffered in his most recent bout, a fourth-round TKO over Thomas Hawkins sidste Jan. 23.

“I have worked so hard to get to this point and now this is my chance to show the world who I am. I want to thank SHOWTIME for the opportunity,” said Morrison. “Latimore is a huge step up in class for me, but I am ready for it. Once I hear those Oklahoma fans and feel the energy inside the arena, I flip a switch and it’s go-time. This is going to be my coming-out party.”

Latimore, who majored in physics in college, is a boxer-puncher expected to give Morrison his toughest test. Latimore is making his ShoBox debut and fourth start this year. He’s coming off an eight-round split decision over Juan Goode sidste Juli 15.

Den 6-fods-1, 31-year-old Latimore turned pro in January 2013. Som en amatør, he won the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves, National PAL and Ringside Championships, and was victorious over 2012 Olympian Dominic Breazeale and former IBF Heavyweight Champion Charles Martin.

“Morrison will be a real test for me,” said Latimore. “It’s never easy to fight someone in their backyard. I just fought in my hometown of Pittsburgh so I know the feeling coming into it and the momentum on fight night. I am looking forward to putting on a good show for all the fans in Oklahoma and those watching on ShoBox."

(Throwback Thursdays/ Fight Synopsis)

 

Eubank vs. Benn II – Oct. 9, 1993, Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester, Lancashire, England

 

Three years after Eubank rallied to stop defending champion Benn in an intense, fiercely contested battle for the WBO Middleweight Crown that marked the beginning of a great era for British middleweights and super middleweights, the rivals fought to a controversial 12-round draw in a 168-pound unification bout for Eubanks’ WBO and Benn’s WBC titles.

 

With more than 42,000 fans in attendance roaring their approval, the two legends went at it again from start to finish. There were lots of close rounds with frenzied flourishes at the end of each. The thrilling 12th round is considered a classic as both boxers were told they needed it to win. At the finish, one judge scoring it for Eubank, 115-113, one judge gave it to Benn by the identical score while the third judge had it 114-114.


Hamed vs. Johnson – Feb. 8, 1997, New London Arena, London, England

The undefeated WBO Champion Hamed unified the featherweight division with an eighth-round TKO over respected longtime IBF titlist, Tom “Boom Boom” Johnson. Hamed dominated Johnson, der var at gøre hans 12th defense, from the third round on, scoring the bout’s lone knockdown with a huge uppercut in the eighth. Hamed was ahead by 69-63, 69-64 og 69-65 when it was stopped at2:27 Rundens.

 

Four starts later, Hamed won his United States debut with a wild fourth-round knockout over Kelly, a former WBC Champion, i Madison Square Garden.

 

Hatton vs. Tszyu – June 4, 2005, M.E.N. Arena, Manchester, England
The largely unproven but hungry Hatton scored one of the most sizeable stunners in British history and announced his entry to the upper echelons of the world boxing scene by recording an 11th-round TKO over Tszyu for the unified IBF, Ring and lineal light-welterweight titles.

 

This is regarded as the signature performance in Hatton’s career; the stamina, aggression and heart he displayed is now legendary. A massive underdog against a dominant, feared champion and one of the world’s top pund-for-pund boksere, Hatton won when Tszyu failed to answer the bell for the 12th round. Efter 11, Hatton was ahead by 107-102, 106-103 og 105-104.

Calzaghe vs. Lacy - Marts 4, 2006, M.E.N. Arena, Manchester, England
In the most important and anticipated super middleweight match since Roy Jones besejret James Toney i 1994, Calzaghe produced a masterpiece and the performance of his career, thoroughly overwhelming the previously unbeaten IBF kingpin Lacy. It was a Brit Beatdown at its brutal best, a wipeout from the outset. Calzaghe cut Lacy over both eyes and caused blood to flow from Lacy’s nose midway through a fight that could have been stopped several times, and floored him in the 12th.

By impressively prevailing over Lacy, Calzaghe also earned the Den RingChampionship, becoming the first super middleweight to be recognized as world champion by The Ring.

Froch vs. Taylor – April 25, 2009, Foxwoods Resort Casino in Foxwoods, Conn.
Froch registered one of the most dramatic finishes to a world title fight sinceJulio Cesar Chavez, behind on points, stoppet Meldrick Taylor two seconds from the end of the 12th round in 1990.

Froch, making his second U.S. start and initial defense of the WBC title, survived a third-round knockdown – the first of his career, amateur and pro – to finish Taylor with 14 seconds left.

 

Froch hurt and staggered Taylor with a cracking right hand just over a minute into the 12th. Desperate to get the knockout, he continued to belt Taylor all over the ring. With about 90 seconds left, Taylor went down from a barrage of head shots. He barely arose at nine with 0:29 remaining but had no defense for an ensuing barrage of damaging blows.

 

(The British Invasion/Boxer Capsules)

 

Chris Eubank (45-5-2, 23 KOS), of Brighton, England, was one of the top British super middles of all-time; he was responsible for helping British boxing ride a peak of popularity in the 1990s. After winning the WBO 160-pound title by stopping Benn and making three subsequent defenses , Eubank moved up to 168, captured the WBO crown and retained it 14 gange (12-0-2) over a five-year-period. One of the draws came against WBC champion Benn in world title unification in their rematch in October 1993.

 

Nigel “Dark Destroyer” Benn (42-5-1, 35 KOS), of West Ham, England, went pro in January 1997 og vandt sin første 22 fights by knockout. He took the WBO 160-pound belt with an eighth-round TKO over Doug DeWitt april 29, 1990, i Atlantic City. In his first defense, he stunned the boxing world by scoring a devastating TKO 1 over former middleweight world champion Barkley on Aug. 18, 1990. In his next outing, Benn fought Eubank the first time. He captured the WBC 168-belt in October 1992 and made nine successful defenses.

 

Naseem Hamed (36-1, 31 KOS), af Sheffield, England, was a global superstar. He was known, loved, despised and acclaimed as one of the greatest British pound for pound boxers of all time. He was known for his marvelous movement and entertaining, albeit unconventional antics. He held multiple world championships at fjervægt and made 16 consecutive featherweight world title defenses. He was considered the linear world champ at 126 pounds for five years (1995-2000) and was The Ring Magazine’s No. 1 Featherweight Fighter from 1997‑2000.

 

Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton (45-3, 32 KOS) af Manchester, England, is viewed by many as the No. 1 British 140-pounder of all time. Han var den 2005 RingMagazine Fighter of the Year, the first British boxer to receive the award since its inception in 1928. He was also the 2005 ESPN and Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year. During his15-year career (1997-2012), he held various world titles at junior welterweight and one at weltervægt. He reached the pinnacle of his profession in June 2005 when he upset Tszyu to seize the unified IBF, Ring and lineal 140-pound titles.

Joe Calzaghe (46-0, 32 KOS) is the longest-reigning super middleweight world champion in history, having held the WBO title for more than 10 years and making 21 successful defenses before relinquishing it to move up to light heavyweight. As his reins at 168 og 175 pounds overlapped, he retired with the longest continual time as world champion of any active fighter. Calzaghe annihilated IBF Super Middleweight Champion Jeff “Left Hook” Lacy to become world super middleweight champion on March 4, 2006. He held the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, Ring magazine og lineal super mellemvægt titler, as well as The Ring lys sværvægter titel.
Carl “The Cobra” Froch (33-2, 24 KOS), of Nottingham, England, was a four-time super mellemvægt world champion who possessed an aggressive, stil, toughness and granite chin. Froch won the WBC crown twice and was the WBA titleholder from 2013-2015 og IBF champion from 2012-2015. I 2013, den Jeg er en meget smart bokser med hurtige hænder og kraft listed him as the best British pound-for-pound boxer.

 

One outing after Froch captured the WBC belt with a triumph over Jean Pascali maj 2008, he rattled the boxing world by producing one of the most remarkable comebacks in history. Rallying from an early knockdown and a four-point deficit on two of the scorecards entering the final round, Froch came on to batter former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor senseless and knock him out at 2:46 af 12th april 25, 2009. A few months later, Froch entered the Super Six World Boxing Classic on SHOWTIME, where he got the only two defeats of his career, losing decisions to Mikkel Kessler, ogAndre Ward in the finals.

Tulsa, OK (August 27, 2016) – Heavyweight sensation Trey Lippe-Morrison makes his highly anticipated TV debut when he faces fellow unbeaten Ed Latimore as part of a quadruple header on ShoBox: Den nye generation Fredag, September 23 på 10 pm ET live from the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK.
Living and fighting out of Tulsa, OK, Lippe-Morrison’s 11-0 med alle hans sejre kommer med knockout. A member of Holden Productions’ Four State Franchise, the 26-year-old power punching phenom has been out of the ring since January after suffering a hand injury. Under the watchful eye of 7-time BWAA Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach, Lippe-Morrison’s working hard daily towards his goal to become the heavyweight champion of the world like his late father Tommy.
Latimore, 13-0 (7 KO s), is without question the toughest opponent of Lippe-Morrison’s career. Fighting out of the Steel City Pittsburgh, PA, Latimore is fresh off a Juli 15 victory over Juan Goode.

Samtidig, Latimore is here to spoil the party and was a very good amateur prior to his current run as an unbeaten professional. The fans at the Buffalo Run, where Trey is a favorite, and everybody watching on Showtime are in for exciting fight between two unbeaten heavyweights on the way up, which is a rarity these days.”
Lippe-Morrison and Latimore meet over six rounds.
Brooklyn-based Russian Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk, 11-0 (10 KO s), puts his perfect record on the line against an opponent to be named in a ten round junior welterweight bout.
