Mattice van Cleveland (15-1-1, 11 KO) komt van zijn belangrijkste overwinning tot nu toe, een acht-ronde TKO van de eerder ongeslagen Michael Dutchover afgelopen september ShoBox.

Mattice zal zijn zesde start maken in de prospect-ontwikkelingsreeks, waaronder een bijna verlies voor Will Madera in 2019, een split decision win en een split draw met Zhora Hamazaryan in 2018, en een knock-out van Rolando Chinea. De 29-jarige hoopt dat een overtuigende overwinning op de top 10 Gonzalez hem dichter bij een wereldtitel zal brengen.



“Een overwinning zou enorm zijn voor mijn carrière en mij in een geweldige positie plaatsen,'Zei Mattice. 'Het zou me in gesprek brengen met de tophonden van de divisie. Ik moet een geweldige prestatie neerzetten en al die topvechters laten weten dat ik hier ben en klaar om met iedereen te vechten. Het is een must voor mij, maar het is een groot gevecht voor ons allebei. Hij is gerangschikt nr. 7 door de IBF, dus dit voelt als een groot gevecht. Ik denk dat een overwinning mij in de top-10 zou plaatsen. ”



Gonzalez (18-1-1, 14 KO), van Mexico-Stad, heeft knock-outs gescoord 11 van zijn laatste 14 vecht sinds hij slechts zijn verlies van zijn carrière leed in slechts zijn zesde professionele gevecht. De 22-jarige heeft een knock-out van de voormalige interim-wereldtitel-uitdager Jose Felix Jr. in 2018. Momenteel gerangschikt nr. 7 door de IBF op 135 pond, Gonzalez maakte zijn Amerikaanse. debuut in december op de niet-uitgezonden undercard van de Jermall Charlo vs. Dennis Hogan-evenement in Barclays Center in Brooklyn afgelopen december.



"Ik vind het geweldig om in de Verenigde Staten te vechten en ik vind het geweldig dat mijn gevecht op SHOWTIME wordt getoond,'Zei Gonzalea. "Zoveel vechters begonnen hun carrière bij ShoBox en zijn wereldkampioen geworden."



Aleem stelde een 65-10 record als amateur en was een vijfvoudig gouden handschoenen staatskampioen in Michigan. Hij eindigde als derde bij de National Golden Gloves in 2010 en 2011 voordat hij professioneel in 2011. De 29-jarige verhuisde onlangs zijn trainingskamp naar Las Vegas, waar hij sparring met Jessie Magdaleno, Nonito Donaire en Jhack Deborah. Aleem, die is opgeleid door Terry Markowski, zal de zwaarste test van zijn carrière bij de veteraan Lopez doorstaan.



“Al mijn harde werk werpt zijn vruchten af ​​en nu mag ik het op het grote podium laten zien,'Zei Aleem. “Ik kijk er naar uit om nieuwe fans te verdienen en op dreef te blijven. Ik weet dat Lopez een heel stoere jager is met iets te bewijzen. Hij is hier eerder geweest, dus ik weet dat hij klaar is voor de uitdaging. Dit is een springplank om uiteindelijk te komen waar ik wil zijn, en dat vecht voor een wereldtitel, grotere betaaldagen en meer exposure. Tenslotte, Ik wil niet alleen winnen, Ik wil domineren. Winnen is niet goed genoeg - ik moet er ook goed uitzien. ”



Lopez was een ervaren amateur die zes nationale titels won en een nee behaalde. 1 ranking, maar hij heeft een op en neer carrière als pro gehad. De 29-jarige begon zijn carrière bij 15 rechte overwinningen, maar hij heeft een paar tegenslagen geleden, omdat zijn oppositieniveau dramatisch is toegenomen. Lopez was ongeslagen en één overwinning verwijderd van de uitdaging voor een wereldkampioenschap voordat hij verloor van de huidige verenigde 122-pond kampioen Daniel Roman in een titel eliminator in 2017 op Showtime. Lopez, die zijn eigen record zal brekenShoBox optredens wanneer hij voor de achtste keer de ring betreedt, zal zijn zesde ongeslagen tegenstander in de serie onder ogen zien terwijl hij zijn carrière weer op de rails wil krijgen.



'Aleem is een redelijk goede vechter, maar ik denk dat mijn ervaring een factor zal zijn,'Zei Lopez. "Hij heeft niet gevochten tegen de beste jongens, met uitzondering van Marcus Bates. Ik heb deelgenomen aan de grote gevechten en dit is zijn eerste keer dat hij dit doet. Ik heb een three-fight winning streak en ik heb mezelf opnieuw toegewijd aan de sport. Ik heb een nieuwe trainer, Saai Martinez, en een heel nieuw kamp. Ik kan niet wachten om te laten zien dat ik terug ben. "



De flitsende liefde was een ervaren amateur die een 174-13 record. De 25-jarige linkshandige keert terug voor zijn derde test op ShoBox op zoek naar een overtuigende overwinning. In zijn eerste gevecht op de serie, hij won een meerderheidsbesluit over Samuel Teah in 2018 en volgde dat een paar maanden later met een split-draw tegen Kenneth Sims Jr. Liefde, wie heeft sparren met Adrien Broner en Robert Easter Jr., zal het opnemen tegen wat zijn gevaarlijkste tegenstander zou moeten zijn in de mede ongeslagen Walton.



'Walton is een goede vechter, maar ik heb het gevoel dat hij nog steeds groen is en hij heeft niet zoveel ervaring,'Zei liefde. 'Ik weet dat hij stoer is, maar ik breng dit naar een hoger niveau. Hij is slechts een springplank. Het is spannend om onder de felle lichten te vechten. Sommige jongens folden, maar ik ben hiervoor gemaakt. Ik kijk niet langs hem heen, maar dit zal mijn carrière naar een hoger niveau tillen. We zijn allebei ongeslagen en niet veel jongens nemen zulke risico's, maar dit laat zien dat ik een echte vechter ben. Mijn naam is Montana “Te mooie liefde” en ik vecht op Valentijnsdag, dus ik zal veel liefde uitdelen op 14 februari. ”



De 29-jarige Walton is geboren en getogen in New Orleans, waar hij zijn moeder en zus redde van de overstromingswateren van de orkaan Katrina toen hij net was 13 jaar oud. Dakloos achtergelaten, de familie verhuisde naar Houston, waar Walton als amateur meedeed. Walton werd professioneel 2014 en was perfect tijdens zijn eerste 16 gevechten, waaronder een carrière-beste overwinning op voormalig super bantamgewicht wereldkampioen Victor Terrazas in 2019. De bokser-puncher, die is opgeleid door Bobby Benton en vorig jaar zes keer vocht, zal het opnemen tegen de eerste ongeslagen tegenstander van zijn carrière in Love.



'Ik heb Montana eerder zien vechten. Ik weet dat hij flitsend is in de Adrien Broner-modus, maar verder weet ik niet veel van hem,'Zei Walton. 'Deze kans is een zegen. De wereld zal me zien en mijn verhaal horen. Ik kom uit New Orleans en het was een worsteling voor mij om op te groeien, dus dit is een geweldige kans. Ik had nooit in een miljoen jaar gedacht dat ik in deze positie zou zijn. Ik hoef alleen maar het moment te grijpen en de overwinning te behalen. '



Net 20 jaar oud, Colemon begon met boksen op de leeftijd van 4 en verbeterde zijn vak in de originele Kronk Gym onder Emanuel Steward tot zijn overlijden 2012. Colemon had een 135-fight amateurcarrière en was een viervoudig nationaal amateurkampioen in de junior divisie. Hij werd professioneel toen hij dat was 18 jaar oud en heeft acht knockouts in zijn eerste 11 professionele gevechten. Colemon, die is opgeleid door Marlon Thomas, veruit de zwaarste test van zijn carrière in Jackson, een mede ongeslagen maar nog niet getest vooruitzicht.



'Ik ben fysiek en mentaal meer voorbereid dan ooit,'Zei Colemon. 'Ik weet dat Jackson ongeslagen en hard is, dus ik weet dat ik een grote test moet ondergaan. Dit is de volgende stap in mijn carrière, en ik voel dat ik niet alleen de volgende grote kampioen zal zijn die heeft gevochtenShoBox, maar de volgende grote jager uit Detroit. Ik ben klaar om de wereld mijn talenten te laten zien. Februari 14 zal mijn naam in de hoofden van boksfans over de hele wereld zetten. ”



De 31-jarige Jackson kreeg een late start als professional en is toch actief geweest, waaronder drie gevechten in 2019 en drie in 2018. Hij heeft 12 KO in 15 gevechten, inclusief knockouts in zeven van zijn laatste acht wedstrijden. De inwoner van Greensboro zal voor het eerst in zijn carrière buiten North Carolina vechten wanneer hij het opneemt tegen de ongeslagen Colemon.



'Ik weet dat Colemon moeilijk is, en hij had een lange amateurcarrière,'Zei Jackson. 'Hij komt om te vechten, maar ik bereid me voor op alles. Dat is waar het in deze sport om draait. Ik kijk er naar uit om mijn talent aan de wereld te laten zien. ”



Barry Tompkins zal de actie van de eerste rang te bellen met boksen historicus Steve Farhood en voormalig wereldkampioen Raul Marquez die als deskundige analisten. De uitvoerend producent is Gordon Hall met Richard Gaughan produceren en Rick Phillips regisseren.

Zhora Hamazaryan: “I will beat-down Thomas Mattice in rematch

PHILADELPHIA / ORANJE, Calif. (Zeven. 27, 2018) –Lichtgewicht Zhora Hamazaryan wants to show the world that he is indeed better then undefeated Thomas Mattice when they meet in the rematch of their controversial July 21st bout, this Friday night in the co-feature bout of a ShoBox: The New Generation card from Pechanga Resort Casino, and live on Showtime (10 PM ET / PT).

 

 

 

Hamazaryan (9-1, 6 KO) was on the wrong end of what most people thought was a very controversial decision on that July night in Sloan, Iowa. The native of Armenia has been in Los Angeles, training very hard for the rematch.

 

 

 

“Alles is perfect. My camp has been great, and I am just ready for Friday night,” said Hamazaryan.

 

 

 

Hamazaryan has been able to block out the first fight, and he believes that what happened in the ring has no bearing on what will happen on Friday.

 

 

 

It is a totally new fight for me. I am taking this more seriously because this is a rematch. I did not lose the last fight, so it doesn’t make any difference to me. It will not change my game plan.

 

 

 

De 22 year-old Hamazaryan feels the experience he gained in the first fight will be beneficial to him for even a more dominant performance.

 

 

 

I feel like I am a champion. I will do great again, and perform even better. I took this fight to prove that I am better then him. I showed that in the previous fight, and now nothing can stop me.

 

 

 

The decision was chastised throughout the boxing world, and even called the one of the worst decisions seen in ShoBox expert analyst Steve Farhood’s 40-year boxing career. Hamazaryan will not let the judges decide his fate in the rematch.

 

 

 

Everyone was disappointed by decision because they saw clearly that I won. It was disappointing for the fans, but It did not break me. This time it won’t be a decision. I am going to do what I am good at. I will win this anyway, whether it’s a decision or knockout. Either way it’s going to be a beat down. Hopefully this will be the right the decision. I just hope everything will be fair, and I am coming for a win.

 

 

 

Hamazaryan is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing

WAT: Fans can relive the controversial first fight between lightweight contenders Thomas Mattice and Zhora Hamazaryan, available now in its entirety on SHOWTIME Boxing YouTube channel ahead of the rematch September 28 in the second of back-to-back Fridays of ShoBox: The New Generation action.

In one of the most widely disputed fights of 2018, Mattice (13-0, 10 KO) kept his undefeated record intact when he overcame a knockdown in the second round to escape with the eight-round split-decision victory over the previously undefeated Hamazaryan (9-1, 6 KO). Two judges scored the fight 76-75 in favor of Mattice with the third judge scoring it 77-74 in favor of Hamazaryan.

Less than three months after judges in Iowa awarded Mattice what Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood called “the worst decision I’ve ever seen in the history of ShoBox”, Mattice and Hamazaryan will face off in the co-feature of the ShoBox telecast from Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif.

Hamazaryan, who recently returned stateside after an extended stay to be with family and train in his native Armenia, is looking forward to his opportunity to exact revenge.

“I respect Thomas Mattice,” said Hamazaryan, who is currently training with John Pullman and Buddy McGirt. “He fought a good fight last time, but everyone knows I won the fight and he does too. I respect that I got a rematch and we can settle this once and for all.

“My game plan is to do the same thing I did last time, but just more pressure and aggression. Because of what happened last time, I can’t leave it up to judges. I must get the knockout. If I don’t, then the same thing will happen again and I will get robbed. I can’t have that.”

Mattice, who has watched the July fight multiple times, is hoping to prove that his decision win was no fluke.

“It was important to me to get this rematch so that I can display to the fans the kind of fighter I am and show that I deserved to win the first fight. I’m looking to continue my rise and show the world that I’m the real deal.

“We’re just trying to work on the mistakes we made in the first fight. He may try to do things differently this time, but we’ll adjust and be ready come fight night. It was a controversial decision but I have to remember that at the end of the day I’m a fighter and not a judge. I just have to go out there and fight my fight, and things will be taken care of.”

De september 28 ShoBox is headlined by top undefeated lightweight prospect Devin Haney (19-0, 13 KO) facing three-time world title challenger Juan Carlos Burgos (33-2-2, 21 KO). The opener will see two undefeated middleweight prospects meet as Cem Kilic (11-0, 7 KO) and Donnie Marshall (9-0, 6 KO) face off in the ninth matchup of undefeated prospects of 2018 op ShoBox: The New Generation. The previous Friday, Jon Fernandez (16-0-0, 14 KO), one of the top prospects in boxing and Sergio Martinez protégé, will face O’Shaquie Foster (13-2, 8 KO) in the main event of a ShoBox telecast from Firelake Arena in Shawnee, Okla.

Devin Haney vs. Tijdelijke afbeelding voor Juan Carlos Burgos – 10-ronde lichtgewicht wedstrijd

Haney was a seven-time national junior amateur champion and has been considered one of boxing’s top prospects since turning professional at the age of 16 in Mexico. He faced the toughest test of his career this May on ShoBox, shutting out Mason Menard over nine rounds before Menard’s corner threw in the towel before the start of the 10th en laatste ronde. VIDEO:https://youtu.be/1NM2lOWdzHw

 

 

 

The young and flashy Haney, who grew up in Oakland, Calif., fights out of Las Vegas, where he has earned a reputation as a prodigy having sparred with Floyd Mayweather, Shawn Porter, Jessie Vargas and Rances Barthelemy. Haney, who is trained and managed by his father, William Haney, received a special exception to make his U.S. debut on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley III when he was just 17 jaar oud.

 

 

 

Burgos is a tough fighter who has been in several world title fights, so I know he’s going to be ready for war,” Haney said. “He’s been in with Mikey Garcia and Rocky Martinez, so I know he’s my toughest opponent to date. I’m ready to shine once again on SHOWTIME, give the fans another great performance and prove I’m ready to take the next step.

 

 

 

Burgos ran up a 25-0 record met 19 KOs to start his professional career before earning a world title shot when he was just 22 jaar oud, dropping a decision to Hozumi Hasegawa in 2010 in Japan. De Tijuana, Mexico native went unbeaten in his next seven fights, including a draw in a title challenge against then-WBO Junior Lightweight World Champion Roman Martinez.

 

 

 

Burgos challenged 130-pound champion Mikey Garcia in 2014, losing a unanimous decision against the pound-for-pound mainstay. He has since won three consecutive bouts from 2016-17 after taking a nearly three-year hiatus from boxing.

 

 

 

Devin Haney is good fighter but my experience in big fights will be the difference when we step in the ring,” Burgos said. “My back is against the wall and I’m ready to rise to the occasion and get this victory. He might think he’s the next big thing, but I’m at a whole different level.

Thomas Mattice vs. Zhora Hamazaryan IIEight-round lightweight bout

Mattice and Hamazaryan initially faced off in a matchup of unbeaten prospects on July 20, with the judges in Iowa awarding Mattice a 76-76, 76-75, 77-74 split decision. The result, echter, was widely disputed. Hamazaryan floored Mattice in the second round and pressed the action in the final three rounds before leaving the decision in the judges’ handen. Two days after the fight, Thompson Boxing and Banner Promotions appealed the decision on behalf of their fighter, Hamazaryan.

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Mattice, Cleveland, had scored five consecutive knockouts before winning the split decision over Hamazaryan. This will be Mattice’s third ShoBox appearance of the year.

 

 

 

I didn’t hesitate one second when the rematch was offered,” Mattice said. “I’m going into this fight with victory on my mind, and there’s nothing Hamazaryan can do to stop me. My hands will be raised once again.

 

 

 

Hamazaryan was the No. 1 fighter in Armenia during an amateur career that spanned over 200 gevechten. The 22-year-old will make his third consecutive start in the U.S. as he looks to avenge the only loss of his professional career.

 

 

 

Everyone knows I beat Mattice in our last fight but I was robbed,” Hamazaryan said. “Now it’s time to put matters into my own hands and go for the knockout. He better be ready for the onslaught because it’s coming. He went down last time, but this time he won’t be getting up.

 

Cem Kilic vs. Donnie Marshall – Eight-round middleweight bout

 

 

Kilic trains in Los Angeles under Buddy McGirt and won silver at the 2012 European Championships for Turkey. De 24-jarige, who recorded an 82-6 record als een amateur, has served as a sparring partner for Errol Spence, Jermell Charlo, Jean Pascal and Miguel Cotto. While Kilic has scored knockouts in five of his last six fights, he will face by far the toughest opponent of his career in Marshall, a fellow unbeaten yet untested prospect.

 

 

 

This is the turning point in my career fighting on SHOWTIME against another undefeated fighter,” Kilic said. “I’m going to leave it all in the ring and the fans are going to see a great fight. Eén ding is zeker, Ik zal overwinnen.”

 

 

 

Marshall was born in Buffalo, N.Y., and fights out of Raleigh, N.C. Former title challenger Ross “De baas” Thompson trains the 29-year-old Marshall, who was named the 2017 North Carolina Fighter of the Year.

 

 

 

I’m ready to take my career to the next level and remain undefeated,” Marshall said. “Kilic is in for a rude awakening. He’s never been in the ring with a hungry fighter like me. I’m going to win and win impressively.

SLOAN, Iowa (Juli 20, 2018) – Jaron Ennis continued his knock out streak in impressive fashion in his ShoBox: The New Generation debut on Friday night as the highly-touted prospect from Philadelphia scored a third-round TKO against previously unbeaten Armando Alvarez in an exciting night of fights from WinnaVegas Casino.

 

 

 

The 21-year-old Ennis (21-0, 19 KO), a former National Golden Gloves Champion, dominated the Key West fighter Alvarez (13-1, 7 KO) from the start, knocking him down four times in the third round before the fight was waved off with one second remaining in the round. The win was Ennis’s 11th consecutive knockout in a step-up fight for the welterweight prospect, who appeared composed in the ring from the outset.

 

 

 

I feel so great after this fight,” Ennis said. “I came out and did what we planned on, which was to just get out there and break him down. I wasn’t nervous and I had fun in the ring, I’ve been here before and I’m aware of everything. I’ve been in the ring my entire life and this is always what I’ve been doing.”

 

 

 

Ennis came out aggressive against a game Alvarez and started his attack by going directly to the body. Hij landde 46 percent of his power shots and led 35-8 in body connects during the short fight, which was originally scheduled for 10 rondes.

 

 

 

Ennis, who has never been past the sixth round, didn’t have plans on making this a long night, as he connected on a left cross to the jaw to put Alvarez on the canvas for the first time after 30 seconds had elapsed in the third round. A delayed-reaction left to the pit of the stomach sent Alvarez down for the second time and a three-punch combination capped by a hook was good for knockdown No. 3.

 

 

 

Referee Adam Pollack waved the fight off with Alvarez on his knees with just one second remaining in the third round following a right uppercut to the chin that ended the fight.

 

 

 

“Alvarez was just another opponent,”Zei Ennis, who out-landed Alvarez 23-3 in power punches in the final round. “He’s a great fighter but it feels like I’ve been here before. I’ve been fighting forever so it was nothing new. I’ve been doing this since I was a kid.”

 

 

 

Ennis’s two older brothers have both fought previously on ShoBox but came up with losses. “This was my coming out party and it really feels great to be the third Ennis to fight on ShoBox,” Ennis continued.

 

 

 

The previously undefeated Alvarez became the second fighter of the night to lose his undefeated record and the 176th overall in the history of the ShoBox serie, which this week celebrated 17 years since its inception in July of 2001.

 

 

 

He was faster than I expected and I didn’t execute my game plan,'Zei Alvarez. “I was supposed to pressure and I didn’t. He hit me with a surprising shot. He had enough power that I had to respect him. He was just the better man tonight.”

 

 

 

In middle fight of the tripleheader, undefeated Thomas Mattice overcame a knockdown in the second round to escape with a controversial eight-round split decision victory over Armenian Zhora Hamazaryan. Two judges scored the fight 76-75 in favor of Mattice with the third judge scoring it 77-74 in favor of Hamazaryan.

ShoBox commentator Steve Farhood had Hamazaryan (9-1, 6 KO) winning by a score of 78-73. “That was the worst decision I’ve seen in the history of ShoBox,"Zei Farhood.

 

 

 

Mattice (13-0, 10 KO) said he thought he did enough to win the fight, even though he was floored by a devastating right hook from Hamazaryan at 2:30 in de tweede ronde.

 

 

 

“Tonight wasn’t my best performance,'Zei Mattice. “I felt like I Iost the few early rounds. [Hamazaryan] landed some clean shots and he’s a crazy competitor; he wasn’t giving me anything. Ik denk dat de beslissing was eerlijk. I out-jabbed him and it may have looked like he was hitting me more but he wasn’t really touching me. The crowd was going crazy over him tapping my gloves. I outpointed him overall.”

 

 

 

Hamazaryan’s pressure enabled him to work his way inside and render Mattice’s normally powerful jab mostly ineffective, as he landed just 19 percent of his jabs. Besides scoring the fight’s only knockdown in round two,Hamazaryan controlled the seventh round and applied more pressure than Mattice in the final three rounds.

 

 

 

“I am extremely upset,” said Hamazaryan, who was fighting for the second time in the U.S. “I deserve a lot more being here in the United States. I worked many years for this opportunity, and for the judges to take it from me is just terrible. Ik weet dat ik heb gewonnen. I’m always a champion. I have already talked to my team and we are going to protest this fight to the right outcome and we will give him a rematch.

 

 

 

He added: “I knocked him down, hurt him several more times and dominated the fight. And how could they just take this from me.”

 

 

 

In de uitzending opener, young super lightweight prospects Montana Love (11-0-1, 5 KO) of Cleveland and Kenneth Sims Jr. (12-1-1, 4 KO) of Chicago fought to an eight-round split draw. De juryleden scoorden het gevecht 77-75 for Love, 77-75 for Sims and 76-76.

 

 

 

The action-packed fight was fought in flurries as both fighters came out swinging. Sims was the busier and more accurate fighter, throwing a total of 638 punches and connecting on 211 (33 procent) while Love threw 529 punches and connected on 159 (30 procent).

 

 

 

“I worked well in the beginning even though I was a little rusty,” said Sims, 24, who had not fought in more than a year because of right elbow surgery. “I slacked off in the middle rounds, and picked it up in the last three. Ik dacht dat ik won het gevecht, but I can’t complain. I haven’t fought in a year and I feel like I am a stronger and a better fighter than I was then.”

 

 

 

In his second appearance on the series, the 23-year-old Love came alive in the middle rounds, highlighted by a blistering right hook midway through the fifth round that knocked out Sims’s mouthpiece.

 

 

 

“Today wasn’t my best day and I just wasn’t able to get in to a groove,” said Love, who fought against Sims when the two were teenagers in the amateurs. “I definitely didn’t fight my best. I felt good in the third and fourth rounds.

 

 

 

 

“We definitely want a rematch,” Love continued. “Today was an off day but we hundred percent want a rematch and want to fight again, wherever and whenever.”

 

 

 

Friday’s tripleheader will replay on Monday, Juli 23 bij 10 p.m. ET / PT op Showtime EXTREME en zal beschikbaar zijn op Showtime op elk moment worden® en Showtime on Demand®.

 

 

 

Barry Tompkins noemde de actie vanaf de eerste rang met bokshistoricus Steve Farhood en voormalig wereldkampioen Raul Marquez als deskundige analisten. De uitvoerend producent was Gordon Hall. Richard Gaughan produceerde en Rick Phillips regisseerde.
