VERONA, N.Y.. (Jan. 13, 2018) – Unified Women’s Super Middleweight World Champion Claressa Shields dominated previously undefeated Tori Nelson en route to a 10-round unanimous decision in the main event of ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie Vrydag on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino.

 

 

 

Shields controlled from opening to closing bell, sweeping 100-90 on all three judges’ scorecards in the first 10-round distance fight of her career. Die 2012 en 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist out-landed Nelson 225-81 with her total punches, 186-70 in powers shots, and connected at a 44 percent clip with her power shots compared to just 20 percent for Nelson.

 

 

 

“I landed every shot that I thought possible to land,” Shields said. “She was tough, she wasn’t a pushover. She put on a good fight.”

 

 

 

Shields advanced to 5-0 with two knockouts in what was likely her final fight in the super middleweight division. The 22-year-old now has her sights set on the middleweight division where she will eventually target undefeated and Unified Women’s Middleweight World Champion Christina Hammer, who was ringside Vrydag in Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (eerste),” Shields said. “I think I could make 160 easy, I’m going to be bigger and stronger than any girl.

 

 

 

“Hammer just wants to scope. I think she’s pretty scared to be honest. She is more worried about me than I am about her. I’m going to kick Hammer’s ass. People think Hammer is more skilled than me so I can’t wait to show her that she’s not.”

 

 

 

Hammer, who is expected to fight in a co-featured bout on the next Shields card, was interviewed by SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood and expressed excitement to make her U.S. debut and eventually face the American champion.

 

 

 

“It’s a great combination me and her on the same card,” Hammer said. “I can’t wait to show the fans who Christina Hammer is. That will be the best fight ever. It will be the game-changer for female boxing. It’s our time to shine.

 

 

 

“I’m long-time world champion and I have more experience. I have longer reach, I’m tall, I have good footwork and better technique than her. I feel the energy, and I can’t wait to fight against her.”

 

 

 

The former world champion Nelson (17-1-3, 2 Uitklophoue) became the 173rd undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional loss on ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie.

 

 

 

“I’m not happy because I didn’t win, but other than that I thought I executed pretty well,” said the 41-year-old Nelson. “I gave her a better fight than she was expecting.

 

 

 

“No disrespect to Claressa, she doesn’t have great power. She has great speed and she overwhelms you with a lot of punches. My movement threw her off like I knew it would but knowing she was the champion, I needed to just push a little bit more.”

 

 

 

In die ShoBox mede-funksie, Jesse Hernandez narrowly defeated Ernesto Garza via split-decision in an action-packed fight that was scored 95-94 Hernandez, 95-93 Garza, 97-93 Hernandez.

 

 

 

After a close first round, Garza floored Hernandez with a flush left hand to the nose in the closing moments of the second round. Hernandez recovered, and while the middle rounds featured tremendous back-and-forth action, Hernandez seemingly had no trouble walking down Garza, who’s punches seemed to lack any real power. Garza (9-3, 5 Uitklophoue) found a second wind and seemed to pick up the eighth and ninth rounds until Hernandez roared back in an excellent 10ste and final round that featured 178 totale stoot.

 

 

 

Hernandez (11-1, 7 Uitklophoue) geland 50 percent of his power punches and connected on 40 percent of his punches compared to just 28 percent for Garza, however he threw just 719 total punches compared to more than 1,000 by Garza.

 

“I think it should have been a unanimous decision,” Hernandez said. “I’ve always been a slow starter and I feel like I lost the first two rounds, especially with the knockdown. But I won pretty much every round after that, I maybe lost three rounds.

 

 

 

“I’m not completely happy with my performance. I have to control my distance and my range a little bit better. I need to go back to the gym and work on those things. Before the summer comes I hope to have another fight and I hope it’s on SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

“I give Garza a lot of credit for getting in the ring and knocking me down. He hung in there for 10 rounds even after I caught him with some good shots. He was able to withstand those shots, but all that said, I still think it should have been a unanimous decision.”

 

 

 

Garza countered that sentiment.

 

 

 

“I thought it was a bogus decision,” Garza said. “I don’t understand that last judge’s card. I was happy with everything that I did. I executed well and did everything I needed to do to win the fight.

 

 

 

“I’m really disappointed with the outcome. I felt that I won. Vir my, I won a majority of the rounds and I knocked him down. I know knocking your opponent down usually leads to you winning the fight.”

 

 

 

Undefeated Uzbekistan power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev handed Sonny Fredrickson the first loss of his career with an impressive third round TKO in the opening bout of the ShoBox uitsending.

 

 

 

The win over the top-10 ranked Fredrickson extended Ergashev’s perfect record to 12-0 met 12 uitklophoue.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old pressed the action from the beginning, negating Fredrickson’s five-inch reach advantage with a steady diet of well-timed, crisp punches. Ergashev landed a wide left to the head that stumbled Fredrickson in the opening minute of the third and continued to tee-off as his opponent wobbled against the ropes With Fredrickson (18-1, 12 Uitklophoue) unable to defend himself and eating a series of brutal lefts, referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to stop the bout at 1:58 van die derde.

 

 

 

All of Ergashev’s 61 connects in the bout were power shots, and he connected on 77 percent of his power punches in the third and final round.

 

 

 

“The ref saved him,” Ergashev said. “If he let him stay on his feet any longer I would have knocked him out. He couldn’t handle my power.

 

 

 

“At this stage of my career, I am in the best shape of my life and the best I have felt. This is my time right now, especially because I am training with Rick (Phillips) en (Javan) Sugar (Hill Steward). That’s what leads to all of my knockout power.

 

 

 

“I’m ready for whatever comes next. I’m ready for more fights in the U.S., and I want to keep getting more exposure to show off my skills. I’m ready to fight anybody in America.”

 

 

 

Fredrickson, who became the 172 fighter to suffer his professional loss on the prospect developmental series, suffered a jaw injury in the bout and was unavailable for comment.

 

 

 

Vrydag se tripleheader will replay on Maandag, Jan. 15 by 10 namiddag. EN/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

FINALE KWOTASIES:

 

 

CLARESSA SHIELDS:

 

 

"Tori bring 'n baie meer aggressie, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Op papier, Sy het die beste CV van enige opponent Ek het die gesig gestaar en kan sit 'n beter stryd.

 

 

 

"Almal onderskat my ter wille van my grootte. My raam lyk asof ek 'n 140 maar regtig ek is 'n 168. Almal gaan in 'n geveg te dink hulle kan wen, but once that right hand lands everything changes. I’m going to go after her in the first round and get her out of there like Nikki Adler.

 

 

 

"Ek verwag dat my opponent te druk toe te pas, en 'n paar vuil taktiek gebruik. Sy het meer ervaring, maar nie veel wanneer jy praat van haar amateur ervaring.

 

 

 

“She’s confident and she believes in herself. She thinks I haven’t earned my place yet. She doesn’t think I throw hard punches. Speed is power. She doesn’t get that.

 

 

 

"Dit het 'n harde kamp was, Ek het regtig gestoot myself. Ek gewoonlik doen ses weke, hierdie tyd wat ek gedoen het agt weke. Ek het nie geveg sedert Augustus so ek wou myself 'n ekstra twee weke gee so ek het geweet ek was in perfekte vorm.

 

 

 

"Daar is geen twyfel dat ek begin die jaar met 'n oorwinning, maar ek sien dit as 'n mededingende stryd. Ek gaan hê om die oorwinning verdien, maar ek glo ek kan KO haar deur die sesde, sewende ronde. "

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

"Ek weet ek is die underdog, maar Ek het nege mense val. Sy het nog 'n uitklop nie aangeteken as 'n pro. Wanneer Claressa draai pro, Ek het geweet dat ek wil hê om uiteindelik die gesig staar haar.

 

 

 

" 'N Oorwinning is wat ek het vir. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, maar ander vroulike boksers kom na my.

 

 

 

"Ek voel dit is meer entertaining om 'n vroulike stryd kyk. Wanneer vroue kry gedaal, hulle kry gou terug op en gaan na dit weer. Wanneer mense kry platgeslaan, hulle begin wegkruip omdat hulle nie wil hê om weer te slaan. So ek dink ons ​​moet betaal net soveel soos die manne.

 

 

 

"Ek is geseënd om hier te wees, but I’m not a winner until I complete what I came here to do. And that’s win. The odds are definitely against me, maar ek gaan die wêreld te skok.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

"Hulle is nie van plan om my iets te gee. I have to be a dog and go in there and win this fight. I’ve always been aggressive. Why change anything for her?"

 

 

 

JESSE HERNANDEZ

 

 

"Ek is net probeer om nader aan 'n titelgeveg kry. Beweeg die ranglys is die hoofdoel nou, en ek is op die regte pad. 'N Oorwinning hier in 'n 10-ronde stryd sou groot vir my loopbaan wees.

 

 

 

"Om 'n all-around vegter is iets ek werk. Maar jy kan nie 'n afgeronde vegter totdat jy die ervaring en die gevegte te kry en dit is wat ek werk doen nou. Ek wil meer rondtes in en vordering te kry.

 

 

 

"Veg 'n hotklou is nie 'n probleem vir my. Ek kan my standpunt oor te skakel, maar dit is nie iets wat ek dink oor of plan. Dit gebeur net natuurlik in 'n stryd.

 

 

 

"Ek het nog altyd geglo in myself, selfs toe ek tyd af. Ek het geglo dat ek terug kan kry in dit en kry 'n top-vlak. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, maar dit het ander ek behoort en wat ek kan meeding op die hoogste vlak. "

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

"Ek hou daarvan om die druk te bring, and he’s a pressure fighter too. We’ll see who backs up once we start throwing punches.

 

 

 

“I like to face fighters who come forward like him so I think everything will work for me. I plan on applying the pressure, kry hom moeg in die laaste rondes, en neem hom uit.

 

 

 

"Hy is geneig om oor te skakel, but I think that’s when he gets off-balance. He won’t bring anything I haven’t seen before.

 

 

 

“I’m fighting at my natural weight class this time. My last fight on ShoBox (teen onoorwonne Jon Fernandez) Ek is veg 'n veel hoër gewig.

 

 

 

“I don’t think his height and reach will give me any issues. I’ve been working with a lot of guys in the gym who have similar size and style. We’re ready for anything.

 

 

 

“A win would be a great step for me and my career. All the doors would open up for us.”

 

 

 

Na aanleiding van die Shakh:

 

 

"Ek is lief vir die opleiding van hier as gevolg van die feit dat dit 'n ander atmosfeer hier in die Verenigde State. Dit is 'n ware professionele opset, Ek voel dat my vaardighede en my tegniek 'n baie beter opleiding hier gekry met Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

"Ek weet dat hy is 'n ervare vegter. Hy is onoorwonne en hy kom om te veg. Dis 'n groot geleentheid vir beide van ons.

 

 

 

"Ek is baie geëerd om op Showtime en gelukkig te wees om hierdie soort van nasionale blootstelling. 'N Oorwinning sal my sement as een van die beste junior weltergewig vooruitsigte in die wêreld.

 

 

 

"Ek het 'n baie beter opleiding gekry by die Kronk Boxing Gym in Detroit. Laaste oefenkamp was 'n inleiding tot die Amerikaanse styl van boks en hierdie kamp regtig verbeter my tegniek en taktiek met die intense sparring.

 

 

 

"Ek is 11-0 met 11 uitklophoue. Ek is 'n ponser en ek wil hom te klop, maar Ek het opgelei vir die afstand. Ek het opgelei om iemand te klop in die eerste ronde en die agtste ronde.

 

 

 

"Dit is 'n groot stap-up in opposisie, maar ek het oor gehad 200 amateur gevegte teen sommige van die beste amateur boksers in die wêreld. Ek het Olimpiese medaljewenners en baie bekwame amateur vegters geslaan. "

 

 

 

Sonny Fredrickson

 

 

"Ek het gewag vir hierdie blootstelling vir 'n lang tyd. Ek het al probeer om op TV te kry vir die afgelope twee of drie jaar, so dit is 'n groot deal vir my. Hopelik sal 'n oorwinning knoppe my in die top 5 en gee my 'n titel geskiet aan die einde van hierdie jaar of die begin van volgende jaar.

 

 

 

"Ons Spar baie met Robert (Easter). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Ek gee hom 'n paar wenke hier en daar en hy doen dieselfde vir my.

 

 

 

"Ek weet nie te veel oor my opponent weet. Ek weet hy is 'n Lefty en hy het 'n sterk punch. Hy is 'n goeie wedstryd vir my. Hy wil hou kom na vore en land groot skote so ek sal in staat wees om hom outbox redelik maklik.

 

 

 

"Ek dink nie senuwees sal faktor wees. Ek het geveg op Andre Ward se kaart, Ek het in groot gevegte was voor.

 

 

 

"Ek gaan hom te klop nadat die derde ronde. Ek gaan om te sê, hey, kry hom hier uit.

 

 

 

"Na hierdie stryd, aanhangers sal begin leer my naam. Ek dink hulle sal wil sien dat Ek het 'n skoot op die 140 pond titel. "

“My doelwitte is om aktief te bly en te veg, hoe beter name in die afdeling vanjaar,” het hy gesê. “Ek sien uit daarna om te wys die boks fans my vaardighede en uitdagende die groot name. Die ondersteuners in New York kan verwag om 'n nuwe mededinger in die swaargewig-afdeling sien.”
Steward, neef van die groot Emanuel Steward en vinnig bou van 'n sterk reputasie van sy eie, sê dat Davtaev het wat dit verg.
“APTI is 'n sterk, gekoördineer, groot swaargewig wat gereed sal wees om te kompeteer baie gou met die ander aanspraakmakers in die afdeling. Ek is baie beïndruk met sy vermoë om te leer en te dra wat hy geleer het in sparring. Ek is opgewonde om APTI in aksie te sien Januarie 12 vir sy Amerikaanse debuut. Ek verwag om 'n opwindende uitklophou te sien!”

Vir onmiddellike vrystelling

New York, New York (Januarie 10, 2018) — Victory Sport & Entertainment’s highly-touted Junior Welterweight fighter Sonny “Pretty Boy” Fredrickson (18-0,12 Uitklophoue) is slated to make his SHOWTIME debut on Vrydag, Januarie 12 when he faces off against Shohjahon Ergashev in the telecast opener of ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie op Vrydag, Jan. 12 woon op Showtime (10 namiddag. EN/PT) uit Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..
Fredrickson will square off against the Uzbekistani Ergashev (11-0, 11 Uitklophoue) in a telecast headlined by two-time Olympian Gold Medalist Claressa Shields (4-0, 2 KO se) as she defends her WBC and IBF Middleweight World Titles against Tori Nelson (17-0-3, 2 KO se).
Fredrickson, die WBA se nommer. 8 ranked fighter at 140 pond, will take on power-puncher Ergashev in the former’s first fight since claiming the WBA Fedebol Super Lightweight title on Nov. 1, 2017 in Medellin, Colombia. The highly anticipated fight is part of a tripleheader event promoted by Salita Promotions. And while Ergashev is with Salita Promotions, there is no doubt who the “A-Side” of this fight is as the fast rising Fredrickson looks to solidify his position as one of the top contenders at Junior Welterweight and make himself a television regular.
“I am excited to make my ShoBox debuut, and look forward to putting on a good show for the fans at Turning Stone and everyone watching on TV, especially all my family and fans back in Toledo, Ohio” Fredrickson said. “I know Ergashev is tough and he will be coming to fight, but I’ve trained very hard. I had a great camp and I am looking to make a statement. I’m very appreciative of SHOWTIME for this platform.” I had a number of television opportunities fall through because fighters pulled out so I’m happy my time has finally come. Hopelik, Ergashev doesn’t get hurt before Vrydag, but once the fight starts I can’t promise anything.”
Rick Torres, President van Victory Sport, feels that this fight will give Fredrickson exposure to a wider audience that may not be familiar with him.
“We feel Sonny is one of the best kept secrets in all of boxing and we’re excited that the rest of the world will get to see what we already know – that Sonny Fredrickson is the future of the 140-pound division,” Torres said. “Sonny has not gotten the TV exposure of other fighters, but we know that, given the chance, he will not disappoint. We are very grateful to SHOWTIME and Gordon Hall for making this happen and for the support of Sonny’s promoter Roc Nation Sports.”
Mike Leanardi, COO of Victory Sports, sees an opportunity for Fredrickson to follow in the footsteps of another Victory Sports fighter that started on ShoBox.
“ShoBox is the premier platform today for showcasing and developing young fighters,”Leanardi said. “We’ve seen the impact ShoBox can have firsthand with [former Super Middleweight and Former Light Heavyweight World Champion] Badou Jack. We’re confident that Sonny can achieve great success as well.”

CLARESSA SHIELDS

“I am calm – focused – but still hungry like a challenger with the added confidence of being a world champion. I took some time off after my last win but I look forward to getting busy again in 2018.

 

“This training camp I did eight weeks instead of six. A lot of camp has been extremely hard. But I’m so focused and determined on 2018 and starting great and staying busy. I expect my opponent to apply pressure, en 'n paar vuil taktiek gebruik. Sy het meer ervaring, maar nie veel wanneer jy praat van haar amateur ervaring

“Training through the holidays is fine. The difference between the amateurs and now is that I was always in other countries competing. Now I get to be home with my family getting ready and I feel good.

 

“The matchup to me will play out with the first few rounds of me using my jab. Then I’ll add the combinations as the fight goes on. I see it being competitive though. I’m going to earn the win. I believe I can KO her by the sixth, sewende ronde. "

From Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..

NEW YORK (Desember. 12, 2017) – Uzbekistan power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev will face the toughest test of his career in fellow undefeated and top-10 ranked Sonny Fredrickson in the telecast opener of ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie op Vrydag, Jan. 12 woon op Showtime (10 namiddag. EN/PT) uit Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..

In the co-feature of the tripleheader headlined by the Claressa Shields-Tori Nelson Women’s 10-round Super Middleweight World Championship, Jesse Hernandez (10-1, 7 Uitklophoue) will take on former National Golden Gloves Gold Medalist Ernesto Garza (9-2, 5 Uitklophoue; 1-3 WSB) in 'n 10-ronde super kapokgewig bout tussen twee all-aksie vegters.

Ergashev (11-0, 11 Uitklophoue), who has recorded a knockout in each of his first 11 professionele gevegte, and Fredrickson (18-0, 12 Uitklophoue) van Toledo, Ohio, will contest an eight-round super lightweight bout.

“This card is a great way to set the tone for competitive fights in the 2018,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “These are two pick’em fights with the winners having a legitimate shot at world title contention in the near future. Egrashev has the power, skills and ambition to be an exciting addition to the already packed junior welterweight division, but he’s facing his toughest test in Sonny Fredrickson. Jessy Hernandez is coming off impressive wins over two undefeated fighters and he’s returning against a very durable challenger with solid pro experience and strong amateur boxing pedigree. I am excited and grateful to SHOWTIME that we were able to put together these fantastic fights as the first show of the year.”

Kaartjies vir die geleentheid, wat bevorder word deur Salita Promotions, is tans te koop vir $75 vir die eerste twee rye van ringside, $65 vir oorblywende ringside sitplekke en al die ander kos $49 en $37, plus enige toepaslike fooie.

The 23-year-old Fredrickson is currently ranked No. 9 deur die World Boxing Association. An active amateur who had 130 amateur bouts with more than 120 oorwinnings, Fredrickson traveled to Medellin, Colombia, in his last fight to face unbeaten Placido Ramirez as part of the annual WBA Convention and looked impressive in a third-round knockout.

Fredrickson competed in both the U.S. Amateur National Championships and National Golden Gloves and has been an active pro with five fights in 2015, four in 2016 and three in 2017. He is represented by Roc Nation Sports and trained by Lamar Wright.

“If you look at Ergashev’s past opponents, he hasn’t fought against anyone that talented, so I’m confident that I’ll stop him in his tracks,” Fredrickson said. “I’m sure he’ll try to come out strong in the beginning of the fight, but I plan to break him down.

“Plenty of boxing stars got their first break on SHOWTIME, so fighting on this network is huge for me. I’m ready to capitalize on this opportunity and showcase my skills on one of the biggest platforms in boxing. My goal is to put on a great performance at Turning Stone and get the victory.”

Hernandez is coming off two consecutive wins over previously undefeated, top-15 ranked fighters – a unanimous decision over Glenn Dezurn on November. 11, and fifth-round TKO of Vladimir Tikhonov in his ShoBox debuut op Augustus. 4. The 27-year-old Hernandez, the youngest of 15 kinders, was 67-6 as an amateur and took five years off from boxing between 2009 en 2014 to work construction jobs in his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas.

“This is going to be a tough fight, but I am putting in the work and feel like I will definitely come out on top,” said Hernandez, who has six brothers that have boxed professionally. “It will be action-packed and a must-watch fight. I feel like my aggressive style is meant for TV. I will fight whoever is put in front of me to prove my worth. Dominance in the 122-pound weight division is my ultimate goal.”

Garza, of Saginaw, Mich., was die 2008 National Golden Gloves Gold Medalist and a 2009 U.S. National Championships Bronze Medalist. The 29-year-old is fighting on ShoBox for the second time having suffered a third-round knockout against Jon Fernandez on Februarie. 10, in Miami, Okla. Garza has won his last two fights since the defeat, both coming in Michigan.

“I’ve been training hard for this fight, and I can’t wait to step into the ring to show the world my talent,” Garza said. “I know I’m going to come out on top and bring back this win for my hometown. I’m extremely blessed and grateful for this opportunity. I can’t let it slip away.”

In die belangrikste gebeurtenis, Unified Women’s Super Middleweight World Champion Shields will defend her 168-pound titles against undefeated IBF mandatory challenger Nelson. A two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, Shields (4-0, 2 Uitklophoue) will face her second consecutive undefeated opponent in the main event on ShoBox.

Nelson (17-0-3, 2 Uitklophoue) won a middleweight world championship in 2011 and owns wins over previously unbeaten Alicia Napoleon and Mia St. John. The 41-year-old Ashburn, Va., native looks to capture her second world title in a showdown with the fastest rising star in women’s boxing.
