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: The New Generation Föstudagur 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. The 2012 og 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 Föstudagur í Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (fyrst),” 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 Kos) became the 173rd undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional loss on ShoBox: The New Generation.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

Í ShoBox samhliða lögun, 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 Kos) found a second wind and seemed to pick up the eighth and ninth rounds until Hernandez roared back in an excellent 10th and final round that featured 178 Heildareignir högg.

 

 

 

Hernandez (11-1, 7 Kos) lenti 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. Mér, 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 útsending.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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 Kos) unable to defend himself and eating a series of brutal lefts, referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to stop the bout at 1:58 af þriðja.

 

 

 

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) og (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.

 

 

 

Föstudagur er tripleheader will replay on Mánudagur, Jan. 15 á 10 p.m. OG/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

FINAL MARKAÐSUPPLÝSINGAR:

 

 

CLARESSA SHIELDS:

 

 

"Tori koma mikið meira árásargirni, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Á pappír, Hún hefur bestu ný af hvaða andstæðing sem ég hef blasa og getur sett upp betri berjast.

 

 

 

"Allir vanmetur mig vegna stærðar minnar. Beinin í mér lítur út eins og ég er 140 en í raun ég er 168. Allir fara í slag hugsa þeir geta unnið, 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.

 

 

 

"Ég býst við andstæðing minn til að beita þrýstingi, og til að nota sumir óhreinum tækni. Hún hefur meiri reynslu, en ekki það mikið þegar þú talar um áhugamaður reynslu sinni.

 

 

 

“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.

 

 

 

"Þetta hefur verið erfitt Tjaldvagnar, Ég ýtti virkilega sjálfur. Ég geri venjulega sex vikna, þetta skipti sem ég gerði átta vikur. Ég hafði ekki barist síðan í ágúst þannig að ég vildi gefa mér aukalega tvær vikur þannig að ég vissi að ég væri í fullkomnu formi.

 

 

 

"Það er enginn vafi á því að ég byrja árið með sigri, en ég sé þetta sem samkeppni baráttunni. Ég ætla að fara að vinna sigur, en ég tel að ég get KO hana með sjötta, Sjöunda umferð. "

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

"Ég veit að ég er lítilmagni, en ég hef fallið níu manns. Hún hefur ekki skorað eitt knockdown enn sem atvinnumaður. Þegar Claressa gerðist atvinnumaður, Ég vissi að ég myndi þurfa að takast hana á endanum.

 

 

 

"A vinna er það sem ég kom til. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, en aðrir kvenkyns Boxer koma upp eftir mig.

 

 

 

"Ég finn að það er meira skemmtilegt að horfa á kvenkyns berjast. Þegar konur fá lækkað, þeir fá strax aftur upp og farið á eftir henni aftur. Þegar menn fá slegnir niður, þeir byrja að fela vegna þess að þeir vilja ekki að fá högg aftur. Þannig að ég held að við ættum að fá borgað eins mikið og menn.

 

 

 

"Ég er sæll að vera hér, 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, en ég ætla að hneyksla heiminn.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

"Þeir eru ekki að fara að gefa mér neitt. 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

 

 

"Ég ætla bara að reyna að komast nær titli baráttu. Færa upp fremstur er helsta markmið núna, og ég er á réttri leið. A vinna hér í 10-umferð baráttunni væri mikið fyrir feril minn.

 

 

 

"Þar sem allur-í kring bardagamaður er eitthvað sem ég er að vinna á. En þú getur ekki orðið vel ávalar bardagamaður þar til þú færð reynslu og slagsmál og það er það sem ég er að vinna í að gera núna. Ég vil fá fleiri umferðir í og ​​gangi.

 

 

 

"Berjast við southpaw er ekki vandamál fyrir mig. Ég get skipt á afstöðu mína, en það er ekki eitthvað sem ég hugsa um eða áætlun. Það gerist bara náttúrulega í baráttunni.

 

 

 

"Ég hef alltaf trúað á mig, jafnvel þegar ég tók frí. Ég trúði að ég gæti fengið aftur inn í það og fá að efsta stigi. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, En það sýndi aðra sem ég tilheyri og að ég get keppt á efsta stigi. "

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

"Ég vil koma á þrýstingi, 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, fá hann þreyttur í seinni umferðum, og taka hann út.

 

 

 

"Hann hefur tilhneigingu til að skipta, 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 (gegn undefeated Jón Fernandez) Ég var að berjast miklu meiri þyngd.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

Í kjölfar Shakh:

 

 

"Ég elska að þjálfa hér vegna þess að það er öðruvísi andrúmsloft hér í Bandaríkjunum. Það er alvöru faglega skipulag, Mér finnst að færni mín og tækni mín hefur fengið mikið betri þjálfun hér með Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

"Ég veit að hann er reyndur bardagamaður. Hann er undefeated og hann er að koma til að berjast. Það er stórt tækifæri fyrir okkur bæði.

 

 

 

"Ég er mjög mikill heiður að vera á Showtime og fús til að fá þessa tegund af innlendum útsetningu. A vinna myndi sement mig vera sem einn af bestu yngri veltivigtar horfur í heiminum.

 

 

 

"Ég hef fengið mikið betri þjálfun á Kronk Boxing Líkamsrækt í Detroit. Last æfingabúðir var kynning á American stíl box og þessum búðum virkilega batnað tækni mína og aðferðir við mikilli sparring.

 

 

 

"Ég er 11-0 með 11 knockouts. Ég er puncher og ég vil að knýja hann út, en ég hef þjálfað fyrir fjarlægð. Ég hef þjálfað til að knýja einhvern út í fyrstu umferð og áttundu lotu.

 

 

 

"Þetta er stórt skref upp í andstöðu, en ég hef haft yfir 200 áhugamaður berst gegn nokkrum af bestu áhugamaður Boxer í heiminum. Ég hef barið Olympic medalists og mjög annálaður áhugamaður bardagamenn. "

 

 

 

SONNY Fredrickson

 

 

"Ég hef verið að bíða eftir þessum útsetningu í langan tíma. Ég hef verið að reyna að fá á sjónvarpinu á síðustu tveimur eða þremur árum, þannig að þetta er a gríðarstór samningur fyrir mig. Vonandi vinna högg mig upp í toppinn 5 og gefur mér titil skot í lok þessa árs eða í byrjun næsta árs.

 

 

 

"Við spar mikið með Robert (Easter). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Ég gef honum nokkrar ábendingar hér og þar og hann gerir það sama fyrir mig.

 

 

 

"Ég veit ekki of mikið um andstæðingurinn minn. Ég veit að hann er Lefty og hann hefur sterka bolla. Hann er góð samsvörun fyrir mig. Hann vill halda áfram að koma fram og land stór skot þannig að ég ætla að vera fær um að úthólfinu honum nokkuð auðveldlega.

 

 

 

"Ég held ekki taugar verður þáttur. Ég hef barist á kortinu Andre Ward, Ég hef verið í stórum slagsmálum áður.

 

 

 

"Ég ætla að knýja hann út eftir þriðju umferð. Ég ætla að segja, hey, fá hann héðan.

 

 

 

"Eftir þessa baráttu, fans vilja byrja að læra nafnið mitt. Ég held að þeir vilja sjá mig hafa skot á það 140 £ titil. "

Victory Sports & Entertainment’s Sonny “Pretty Boy” Fredrickson Ready to Shine in ShoBox: The New GenerationDebut, This Friday at 10 p.m. ET/PT Live on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino

Skjóta losun

New York, New York (Janúar 10, 2018) — Victory Sports & Entertainment’s highly-touted Junior Welterweight fighter Sonny “Pretty Boy” Fredrickson (18-0,12 Kos) is slated to make his SHOWTIME debut on Föstudagur, Janúar 12 when he faces off against Shohjahon Ergashev in the telecast opener of ShoBox: The New Generation á Föstudagur, Jan. 12 lifa á Showtime (10 p.m. OG/PT) frá Beygja Stone Resort Casino í Verona, N.Y..
Fredrickson will square off against the Uzbekistani Ergashev (11-0, 11 Kos) in a telecast headlined by two-time Olympian Gold Medalist Claressa Shields (4-0, 2 Rothögg) as she defends her WBC and IBF Middleweight World Titles against Tori Nelson (17-0-3, 2 Rothögg).
Fredrickson, í WBA er No. 8 ranked fighter at 140 £, 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 Frumraun, 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. Vonandi, Ergashev doesn’t get hurt before Föstudagur, but once the fight starts I can’t promise anything.”
Rick Torres, Forseti Victory Íþróttir, 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.”

“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.”

“I know Sonny is a world-ranked, highly touted fighter,” Ergashev said. “I look forward to continuing my knockout streak and getting my 12th KO á Janúar 12. I am excited to fight on SHOWTIME and show the world what I bring to the ring.”

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 Nóvember. 11, and fifth-round TKO of Vladimir Tikhonov in his ShoBox Frumraun á Ágúst. 4. The 27-year-old Hernandez, the youngest of 15 börn, var 67-6 as an amateur and took five years off from boxing between 2009 og 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, Michigan., var 2008 National Golden Gloves Gold Medalist and a 2009 Bandarískt. 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 Febrúar. 10, í 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.”
