Six of the fighters, all seeking to establish their credibility and make a name for themselves, are newcomers to the network and will be making their ShoBox debuts on a four-fight telecast that has a distinct international flavor (two Americans, two Russians, one Romanian, one from Kazakhstan, one Dominican and one from Liberia).

The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, Rusija, je zauzela 10th u IBF. Extremely rare for a fighter at this point in his career, he’s already gone 10 rounds five times and 12 rounds once against good opposition. This is his second start in the United States since signing with Salita Promotions in June 2015. The 5-foot-4, 26-year-old is coming off a shutout 10-round decision over Pedro Melo posljednji Listopada. 29 u Brooklynu.
An outstanding amateur with international success, Potapov had around 200 fights before he turned pro in March 2010. Otišao 13-0 as a pro in Russia. In his outing before last – and last in his homeland — he produced perhaps a career-best performance while winning a unanimous 12-round decision over then-IBF No. 10-zauzela Jasoin Canoy, stu. 8, 2015.
“I’ve been training very hard to make my ShoBox debut a spectacular one,’’ Potapov said. “This will be my second fight in New York against a very skilled boxer in Stephon Young, who is undefeated like me. I look forward to a great competitive fight and I’m putting in my work to come out on top.’’
Young is a talented, lightning-fast-handed southpaw who’s done more than enough to deserve his standing as a rising star in the Midwest. He’s making his 2016 and 10-round debut.
Like Potapov, Young was a top-notch amateur. He compiled a record of 86-13 while representing the United States in many tournaments. In theU.S. Olympic Trials in 2011, he lost to the No. 1-rated amateur,Rau'shee Warren.
His pedigree solid and after years of having “celebrated amateur” permanently affixed to his name, Young turned pro in August 2011.The 5-foot-5, 27-year-old has gone eight rounds once and six rounds on four occasions. He’s coming off a third-round TKO over Terrance Royposljednji Kolovoz. 8 and by far his toughest task, Young boxed unbeaten Antonio Nieves to an eight-round draw on June 20, 2015.
Young hasn’t fought near the caliber of fighters as Potapov but he’s excited and optimistic about Travanj 15. “This is a great opportunity for me, going up against another undefeated fighter in front of the world onShoBox,’’ Young said. “You can’t pass up an opportunity like that. Obuka ide super. I’m training with some of the top notch fighters in the world like Juan Carlos Payano, Claudio Marrero a Yenifel Vicente.
“I know little about my opponent, but what I know makes me feel like we are the perfect match. We both have good records and we are both good fighters, but once I bring my A game, he’d be helpless. I will be watching all my P’s and Q’s. Once you get me in that zone I have no doubt I will win.’’
Bernardo, a 29-year-old with a million-dollar smile – and a punch to match — has registered knockouts in nine of his last 10 borbe. In Menard, he’s facing unquestionably the most seasoned foe of his career. This is Bernardo’s fourth U.S. start and second in a row. He’s coming off a clinically ruthless second-round demolition of Ben Odametey posljednji Veljače. 6 u Detroitu, mene.
Born and raised in Santo Domingo, Dominikanska Republika, Bernardo had an extensive amateur career (128 borbe) before turning pro in October 2009. He captured the Dominican Republic Lightweight Title in his fourth start. Tall for his division at 5-foot-10½, Bernardo is aggressive, technically sound and possesses two-fisted power.
“With him being 30-1, beating Mason Menard will take me to the next level, exactly where I want to go,’’ said Bernardo, who trains in Houston with former world champion Frank Tate. “I’m excited about this fight onShoBox because it’s a good opportunity for America to get to know me. Obuka ide vrlo dobro. Every day I am learning. My diet is terrific. My whole team is with me, pushing me to get better.’’
Menard, former Louisiana State and UBO All-Americas Lightweight Champion, is a pressure and hard-punching fighter who’s won 28 in a row.
He has fought all but one of his fights in Louisiana and this will be his second start u 21 mjeseci. In his most recent effort, on je stao Jesus Lule-Raya in the first round on Aug. 8, 2015.
While inactivity could pose a problem, Menard is primed for Bernardo. Nobody, kaže, is going to deter him from his aspirations of making it to the top.
“It’s blessing to me to be able to fight and showcase my talent on SHOWTIME,’’ said Menard, who has weighed at or around 135 pounds throughout a pro career that began in October 2007. “It’s been a part of a dream of mine to do so and to one day fight for a major world title. NaTravanj 15, Bernardo stands between me and my dreams. It’s all or nothing. It’s rise or lay down. Travanj 15 is the day I’ll be able to be known as a real legit fighter. I WILL NOT let this guy stop me from accomplishing any of those things. Quote me, I will give it my all, I will rise, I will be known and I will be world champion.’’
Zubov, a sensational former international amateur standout and seven-time cruiserweight tournament champion in Russia and Europe, turned pro in April 2014. His first five fights were in the U.S. – four in California and one in Brooklyn. He won all but one inside the distance.
The 6-foot-1½-inch 30-year-old will be making his 2016 debut after fighting four times in 2015 i šest puta 2014. Zubov’s last five fights were in Russia; he is coming off a first-round TKO over Rihards Bigisposljednji Studeni. 29.
Zubov was born and raised in Magnitogorsk, a city which isn’t exactly a fistic hotbed. Getting into boxing was hardly common for his corner of the world. He didn’t grow up in a nasty neighborhood or fighting in the streets. Zapravo, he has a profound mathematical background, having attended a special school that concentrated on physics and mathematics. But while his first sport was hockey, he took to boxing.
Regarding his upcoming skirmish, Zubov said, “I spent several weeks training at the Kronk Boxing Gym with Javan ‘Sugar’ Hill in Detroit for my ShoBox debi. I learn every day in the gym and look forward to putting my knowledge to use Travanj 15 na ShoBox. I want to follow in the footsteps of all the great Kronk fighters.’’
Bejenaru a Moldovan-born fighting out of Catskill, NY, je njegova izrada 2016 debi. Since moving to the U.S., 5-metar-10, 31-year-old southpaw is 10-0 s 1 No Contest dating to September 2012. U svom posljednjem izlet, he won a unanimous eight-round decision over Joel Shojgreen lis. 14, 2015.
“I know Zubov is a good fighter. I am training very hard and have been waiting for an opportunity like this so people can see just what I can do,’’ said Bejenaru, who was born in a Moldovia, a small land-locked country in Eastern Europe. “I am ready to go and very excited about this fight.’’
Kao amater, Bejenaru won a bronze medal at the 2006 European Amateur Boxing Championships, multiple medals at the European Union Amateur Boxing Championships and the Gold Medal at the 2010 World Combat Games.
Yeyubov, 29, of Astana, Kazahstan, has fought a total of 16 rounds in his 10 fights since going pro in February 2012. A one-main offensive juggernaut, he’s scored six first-round knockouts, two second-round knockouts and two third-round knockouts. This will be his ninth fight in the U.S.
U njegovoj ShoBox debut in his last start this past Jan. 22, Eyubov droppedJared Robinson, three times en route to a third-round TKO (0:56).
“I’m honored to be back on ShoBox,’’ said the 5-foot-6 Eyubov who’s promoted by Salita Promotions. “I went back home to Kazakhstan after my last fight and came back with more inspiration and motivation to be the best fighter in the world. I am training very hard every day in New York City and look forward to putting on a show Travanj 15. My gratitude toShoBox for giving a young upcoming fighter like me the opportunity to showcase his skills against the best possible opponents on national TV in the U.S. It’s just amazing.’’
Eyubov got into boxing the hard way. “I used to live in a very bad neighborhood and would constantly get into street fights. I’m not a big guy so I started boxing to learn to defend myself,'', Rekao je. “I had over 150 amaterske borbe. I won about 125-130, most were by knockout. I beat Olympic champions and international champions, but I was not allowed to travel. It might have been because of where I come from – they didn’t have political connections. They’d tell me, ‘Win by knockout, or you’re not going to win.’ I had to fight heavier guys sometimes. But I was so rough and hit so hard, I’d ruin some of their best fighters at my weight.’’
Da, a 5-7, 28-godišnjak, osvojio ShoBox and eight-round debut lastStudeni. 6 with an upset, unanimous decision over previously undefeatedO'Shanique Foster. Teah outpointed Foster, who would go on to win his ensuring start on ShoBox.
“It’s a privilege and honor to be facing Eyubov on SHOWTIME,’’ said Teah, who’s coming off an eight-round draw against Demond Brock posljednji Jan. 22. “I don’t know much about him. I know he’s from Kazakhstan with a perfect record. He fought last time I fought on the same card, but I didn’t get to see him and he didn’t get to see me. Now we get to fight each other. When I got the call I was in the gym already, just not in a fight mindset. Now it’s just matter of turning up the intensity and getting ready for an aggressive opponent and getting my fight mindset going.’’
Da, who was born in Liberia, fled with his family to Ghana, where his father’s from, to escape the civil war when Sam was a youngster. The family’s been in the U.S. since he was 10.

Andre Ward (27-0, 14 KO-a) – Olimpijski zlatne medalje i WBA super srednjoj svjetski prvak
"Nisam osjetio taj osjećaj, boriti tjedan u Oaklandu, u neko vrijeme. Prošli tjedan su ti osjećaji počeli postavljena u. Ja sam bio fokusiran i sprema, ali borba tjedan je samo drugačiji. Bez obzira na veličinu borbe trebali osjećati ovako. Uzbuđen sam. Navikao sam na tom vrstom pritiska. "
"Smith je europski prvak. On nema problema putovanja. On ne mari ako krvari. Ako ga srušiti, on dolazi pobijediti, i to je razlog zašto smo ga pokupili. Nismo ga pokupiti, jer postoji nešto mekano o njemu. Pokupili smo ga jer on je tvrd natjecatelj. Drago mi je da je odjednom počeo govoriti kao što je učinio prošli tjedan. Skoro sam bio uzimajući uvrijedila da ne govori ništa. Ja sam tako nekad dečki pričaju puno. Tako, napokon je počeo govoriti, a ja to volio. Nije da mi je trebalo više motivacije, ali to je samo malo više. "
"Vraćam se s dva otpuštanja. Tijekom proteklog kampu, Osjećao sam se puno bolje nego što sam se u prošlosti. Ja sam više. Rame osjeća jači i mislim da svi idu vidjeti da u subotu navečer. "
"Svaki borac ima svoje osobne borbe. Ne možete predvidjeti što ti izazovi i borbe će biti i ne možete predvidjeti koliko dugo će oni biti. Uspio sam ustrajati kroz koje. Paul Smith nije samo bori Andre Ward off osam tjedna kamp, on bori Andre Ward od svega što sam upravo prošao kroz. Sve frustracije, sva kašnjenja, sve te emocije ... on bori da momak dolazi u subotu navečer. "
"Svaka borba za mene je Super Bowl. Nisam izgubila u jako dugo vremena. Pripremili smo za sve što je Paul Smith će imati i sve što će donijeti na stol. To je lijepa stvar kad se bore tjedan dolazi oko i znate da niste izrezati bilo ugla. Svaki ponavljanja broje za mene u ovom kampu. Svaki okrugli broje za mene. Ja gurnula prošlosti ono što mi je trener želio učiniti. Nije bilo ničega svjetlo o ovom kampu. Čujem Smith logor govori puno o prstena hrđe i ako je to ono što su bankarstva na, oni su u krivu igra plan dolaze 20. lipnja "
"Plan je da se igra Razzle, zasjeniti, biti eksplozivan i to sve. Moram biti svjesni kao profesionalni. Virgil mi je ispričao cijelu ovu logor "Nema plana igra za Paul Smith. Neka se doći do vas. Vi ste bili boks dovoljno dugo da kada dođete u ringu ćete znati što učiniti. "Mi ćemo napraviti prilagodbe na putu, ali ne postoji specifičan plan igre za Paul Smith. Mislim da ćete vidjeti sve što se u subotu navečer. Neću ga silom. Samo ću pustiti da teče. "
"Ovaj grad je glavna borba vrijeme. To je ne samo Oakland. To je San Francisco. To je Haywayd. To je Stockton. To je sve okolne gradove. Svaki put kad se jedan od vlastite u prvom planu, oni podržavaju i to je ono što volim o Bay Area. "
Paul Smith (35-5, 20 KO-a) – Bivši svjetski naslov izazivač
"Posljednji veliki teretana sjednici sam bio prošli petak. Sve što sam mogao eventualno učinio dogodilo tijekom mog trening kampu. Prošli tjedan je sve o opuštanje, odmorište, uzimajući vaše energetske razine gore i svoju težinu dolje. "
"Kada [trener] Joe [Gallagher] dobiva u [za Oakland], ćemo sjesti i on će ukazati na stvari odmah da trebamo raditi ... što treba pritom, igra plan. Usredotočite se na planu igre i taktike. Mi ćemo biti promatranje snimke Ward te ih seciranje. "
"To je velika da ljudi u teretani danas. Jučer, smo došli u Kraljev put napraviti posao van i to je malo mirnija. Lijepo je imati dobru atmosferu kao što je ovaj u teretani. Svatko zna da je borba ovaj tjedan i to je super imati djecu (od dječaka i djevojčica Klub Oaklandu) ovdje. "
"Volim Oakland. Teško je, ali to je teško, gdje sam s previše. Liverpool je tvrd. Ja sam stvarno u nadi da će finale ići na igre sedam tako da je veliki vikend za Oracle Areni. To bi donijeti atmosferu areni noć prije borbe. Vjerojatno neću spavati zbog buke. "
"Ne postoji mnogo više mogu učiniti za pripremu sada. Nema ništa Andre mogu učiniti danas kako bi me tuku u subotu navečer. Što god smo oboje učinili u tjednima prije je ono što se događa u ringu s. Ja ne mogu dobiti bilo više stane. Plan Igra je učinio. Ja sam u poziciji u kojoj sam uzimajući u borbi najbolji borac u mom podjele na planeti. Znam da je više nego itko. Nitko ne treba da me podsjeti da je, ali isto tako znam da imam priliku da ga tuče. Znam da sam samo morate učiniti ono što moram učiniti i držati na plan igre. "
