CARLTON, MN.

Gassiev delivered a powerful left hook that put Shimmell out on the mat and halted the cruiserweight title elimination bout immediately at 2:54 الجولة الأولى. Shimmell was able to move effectively for much of the round and had landed an early combination that got the attention of Gassiev.
The Russian fighter, who now trains in California with Abel Sanchez, was able to start working through the defense of Shimmell with his jab as the round wore on. The final blow came after Gassiev imitated a right hand and delivered the critical left hook while Shimmell was caught counter-punching.
The co-main event of the night saw local favorite جوي “مينيسوتا الجليد” جرس (32-9, 30 كوس) deliver a dominant performance in knocking out previously unbeaten ويس Nofire (19-1, 15 كوس) في مواجهتهم للوزن الثقيل.
The former title challenger bothered Nofire early and often from his southpaw stance and was successful with his left hand throughout the fight. Abell snuck in a strong right hook in round two that stunned Nofire before he delivered multiple left hooks to score the early knockdown.
Nofire tried to weather the storm but a big right hand from Abell again put Nofire down early in the third round. Nofire almost made it out of the round but Abell’s power in the left hand proved to be too much as a series of strong shots sent Nofire down for the final time before his corner stopped the fight.
Abell could hardly miss as he connected on 42 percent of his punches on his way to the stoppage at 2:12 الجولة الثالثة.
في المباراة الافتتاحية, سانت. Louis heavyweight ستيفان شو (7-0, 5 كوس) earned a shutout unanimous decision over Washington, D.C.’s داني كيلي (9-3-1, 8 كوس) in their six-round bout.

The punch stats were in line with the judges’ عشرات 60-54 as Shaw out landed Kelly 95 إلى 56 while connecting at 34 percent mark to Kelly’s 23 في المئة.
هنا هو ما كان المقاتلين القول الثلاثاء:
MURAT GASSIEV
“I was trying to set up the final punch. I imitated the right overhand so that I could come back with the left hook. It was a combination that we practiced.
“It wasn’t the most powerful punch but I snapped it pretty well. I was ready to keep going but that punch was enough.
“I’ve trained hard and been improving my skills. I’m going to work and get ready for my title shot.
“I am extremely happy he got up and I hope he is okay. I never want to hurt anybody; I just want to win the fight.”
JORDAN SHIMMELL
“حصلت على واقعة. Gassiev has power. It was a clean shot and I got hit, ذلك هو ما هو عليه.
“He’s a really good fighter with power. سوف اعود. It was a learning experience.”
JOEY ABELL
“I did this for myself. I wanted so see where I was at. I’m a different fighter when I have time to train.
“I’m going to give it some time to think about the next step. Right now I want to fight for the rest of my life, but if I got beat It would be different.
“This is exactly what I planned. I thought I might get him in the first round but I took my time. My punches were sharp. There were times in the past where I felt my timing was off but I’m in great shape so I wasn’t thinking about getting tired.”
WES NOFIRE
“I just didn’t get the shots I was looking for. I thought I was going to be able to back him up more with my jab. He stayed his distance and lunged in from out of range.
“One of the head butts caught me pretty good and I just couldn’t see what he was coming back with.
“The head butts were giving me problems and he followed up on me after them. He was a little stronger than I expected but I’ve been hit hard like that by other fighters.
“أشعر بخيبة أمل. I trained really hard for the fight. I’ve never had a problem taking power before. It’s just one of those things that happens in everybody’s career, but I’ll be back.”
STEPHAN SHAW
“I felt great in there. It felt good to be victorious in my first fight on PBC. I fought a guy with a lot of experience and did what I had to do.
“I’m the best kept secret in America. That’s my motto.”
DANNY KELLY
“I started too late. I was working behind my jab but I didn’t do enough behind it. أعطيته كل ما عندي.
“He only hurt me once, with a right hand in the fourth round. I didn’t think he had speed but I should have start earlier.”
PBC on FS1 and FOX Deportes was promoted by Warriors Boxing in association with Seconds Out Fights.
