There has been a lot of improvement since I have started
In Morley, he is facing a durable guy, that has gone the distance in his first two outings.
I just know he is shorter and heavier then me. He is from Philadelphia, so that alone, I know he is a tough guy.
Davis is even more honest when it comes to his ceiling as a fighter.
My goal is to fight as long as the sport wants me. I want to have fights that will build my resume and give me the credibility to become a trainer for all athletes. I would like to instill what I know and my experiences with baseball, football and now boxing and become an all-around trainer and role model. There are people needed in the community that should be mentoring kids coming up and I feel that I can be that guy around here.
I want to thank my supporters. I am humbled that they spend their hard earned money to come see fight, and I am so appreciative of that.

Rainone came up just short in that fight, but Rainone wanted to test himself against the former world champion.
That fight was a tall order. Ishe is the bigger man and a former world champion. I am not a junior middleweight. I tried very hard and I knew if I had won that fought, I would have been ranked in the top-ten.
Rainone is only planning to fight another couple of years and he still has the goals of every fighter, but he is taking his career fight by fight.
The goal is one fight at a time. I am excited to fight in Atlantic City. I want to fight at Barclays Center and again in Madison Square Square Garden as well fighting for a title back in Atlantic City.
I have done this the hard way throughout my career. I do not know who has done it the way I have. I have done this on my own without any alliance or any promoter and I am very proud what I have accomplished and I still have more to do.

Las Vegas (Decembar 18) – The “forcewas with Cuban star and newly crowned lightweight world champion Rances Barthelemy (24-0, 13 KOs) as he won a 12-round unanimous decision over Russian southpaw Denis Shafikov (36-2-1, 19 KOs) in the headlining bout of the final Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) na Spike fight card of 2015. The four-fight telecast, which was supported by non-televised fights featuring some of Mayweather Promotions’ zvezde u usponu, took place at the Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Coming off of a luxury world tour, Floyd Mayweather returned stateside and sat ringside as promoter of tonight’s fights. The recently retired five-division world champion, who also learned today he was selected asSports Illustrated Fighter of the Year, was animated and engaged through the final bell of the evening.
Glavni događaj, which started off as a close toe-to-toe battle, ended in the Barthelemy’s favor as he swept the latter quarter of the bout. Shafikov controlled the beginning of the fight, staying in the pocket and throwing more powerful punches than Barthelemy as the Cuban had a difficult time adjusting to the significantly shorter, yet stronger, style of Shafikov.
The turning point of the fight occurred when a cut caused by a punch by Barthelemy opened up above Shafikov’s right eye in the eighth round. The blood began to poor furiously and referee Vic Drakulich called the ringside doctor over to inspect the cut. When the fight resumed, Barthelemy attacked the Russian’s eye and never let up for the remainder of the fight. He took advantage of the cut and coupled it with his height and reach advantage which led to a recipe for success as he is now a two-division world champion. The judges saw the bout 119-109 i 116-112 dvaput.
There were moments where I was trapped into my style of fighting. It took me a minute to adjust to Shafikov’s style and exchange punches with him,” Said Barthelemy. “I’m really happy with the number of punches I was able to get off.
I was really impressed with Shafiov’s warrior style. He never gave up even after getting hurt with punches that were affecting his fight. That really caught me by surprise and also that he was able to last the whole fight. The fact that he continued really says something about him as a fighter.
I’m not sure if I won the fight,” Said Shafikov. “I’m very disappointed and I want a rematch.
The co-main event saw a bizarre ending to what was to be a cruiserweight elimination bout. Detroit southpawIsiah Thomas (15-0, 6 KOs) was winning the fight on all three judgesscorecards through round three when Russian power-puncher Murat “Gvožđe” Gassiev (22-0, 16 KOs) threw accidental late blows to Thomashead after the bell. The punches forced referee Jay Nady to make the tough call that the punchesdiminished the valueof Thomasability to continue. As the fight had not yet gone four rounds, unified rules state that the fight does not go to the scorecards, thus ruling it a no contest.
Chris Pearson (16-1 11 KOs), a promising super welterweight from Dayton, Ohio put his previously undefeated record on the line against fellow unbeaten Eric Walker (12-0, 6 KOs) of Plaquemine, Louisiana in the second televised bout. Walker came out strong, dominating the early rounds against Pearson, another member of the stable of rising stars from Mayweather Promotions. A wobbled Pearson persevered and attempted to turn the tide in an action-packed fifth round with a series of head shots.

The seventh round saw both fighters exchanging a brutal barrage of punches culminating with a fast-paced eighth and final round drawing a standing ovation from the crowd. The underdog Walker, who spent 13 years in Dixon Correctional Institute in Louisiana, scored a unanimous decision victory (79-71, 78-74, 80-72) winning the biggest fight of his life in front of a captivated national TV audience.

If you believe in God and work hard at what you’re doing, you’re going to succeed,” Said Walker. “Look at me now.
I had watched his previous fights and knew that my right hand would be too much for him and that I could land it anytime,” continued Walker. “My conditioning was really the difference tonight. I was in great shape and I was able to rely on that when the going got tough.

Pearson was disappointed in the decision and was left wanting a rematch.

I take my hat off to him,” said Pearson. “His punches were crisp and hard. I just couldn’t get going on anything consistently. I thought it was closer than the judgesscorecards and I definitely want a rematch as soon as possible.

U uvodnom borbu večeri, one of boxing’s fast rising stars, Gervonta “Jedan” Davis (14-0, 13 KOs) out of Baltimore put his undefeated record on the line against Mexico’s Luis Sanchez (17-5-1, 5 KOs) in a lightweight clash.

Davis, a 21-year-old protégé of Mayweather, lived up to his reputation as a budding superstar scoring a hard-fought ninth round knockout victory. Sanchez showed his toughness and resiliency as he forced Davis to fight three rounds longer than any fight of his career.Davis showed his speed and power in the eighth round as he landed an uppercut to knock down his determined opponent. In the ninth round, he threw a massive left hand to finish Sanchez, sending Mayweather to his feet in celebration.

It felt great to fight all of these rounds and get the work in,” Said Davis. “He’s a tough fighter and I learned a great deal tonight. It was a very good experience for me.
I just listened to my corner and Floyd, took my time and broke him down. I want to fight again as soon as possible for a world title.
Mayweather, who was very pleased with Davisperformance, sees the young undefeated fighter’s future as bright.
It’s always good to go out there and get the W,” Said Mayweather. “On je mlad. He’s still learning. We’re looking forward to him being a world champion some day.
Mayweather relished in the opportunity to promote one of the final fights of the year in his hometown of Las Vegas saying, “I’m so happy we were able to showcase on national television some of the talented fighters we have at Mayweather Promotions. Dobiti ili izgubiti, I am proud of all of them.
More importantly I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and thank for them supporting me, Mayweather Promotions and The Money Team throughout all of these years. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

I/PT, kasni na zapadnoj obali).

Douglas, koji je 1-0-1 u dva nastupa ShoBox, traži da dokaže da je on zaradio je nadimak “Akcija” kada je suočava protivnika koji – kao što je on – nikada nije izgubio ili dodirnu platnu. Što je još važnije, on je sa ciljem da nastavi da izbriše bilo sumnje o njegovoj budućnosti kao kandidat na 160 funti. Douglas je osvojila dva zaredom, jer boks je teško borio 10-okrugli većinom remi sa bivšim titulu svjetskog prvaka challengerMichel Soro (23-1-1 ide u) posljednji Juli 25 na ShoBox.

Evo šta Douglas imao da kaže kako je priprema za proboj 2015:

Kako bi ste rekli da vam je karijera ide?
“Moja karijera ide sjajno do sada. Veoma sam zadovoljan tempom moje karijere. Ja sam u pravu, gdje želimo biti i na poziciji za veliku godinu.”

Ni jedan od vas je oborio kao profesionalni. Očekujete li da je za promjenu na Mart 13?
“Ja stvarno ne očekujem ništa ide u borbu. Samo želim staviti na veliku predstavu i staviti na veliku borbu. Daj mi je sve.”

Vi ste suočeni su čvršći opozicije kao pro. Kako ostati fokusiran i ne izgleda prošlosti protivnika?
“Ovo je sport boksa i jedan udarac može promijeniti bilo borbe. Svaki borac ima sposobnost Boli me tako da ne zanemariti nikoga. Lamanna je neporažen. Nikad nije izgubio, tako da ne mogu pogledati pored njega. Svašta se može dogoditi tamo.”

Što znate o Lamanna i kakve borbe očekujete?
“Znam da je visok i ima dugu dohvat. Ja stvarno ne znam šta da očekujem. Znam da je on ima tendenciju da zaključam u pokušaju da ostanu u odbrani položaju. Moram iskoristiti da odlaskom na ofanzivu.”

Nakon što ste prevladati kao mladić, da li smatrate sebe preživio? Da li boks spasiti?
“Ne bih se samo preživjeli smatraju. Ja bih sebe smatram borac. Imao sam dosta da se borim za u mladosti. Boks mi je pomogao da se kroz pitanja. To mi je dao upute i disciplina. Oko dobi od 14 Stvarno je preuzeo kontrolu nad moj život i postao čovjek. Osjećao sam se kao da je potrebno da se tretira kao čovjek.

“Kada sam bio u hraniteljsku kući 14, moja dva staratelja se rastali i ja sam bio u poziciji gdje mi je trebalo da donese odluku da izabere kojim putem ići dolje. Ne bih bio u poziciji Ja sam danas ako ne donese odluku sam napravio. Nije bilo ljudi oko mene da me uputite u pravom smjeru, Ja sam bio na mom. Ako je bilo ljudi koji su bili podrška od mene, Nisam očekivao. Ja sam bio u poziciji da sam donošenja odluke isključivo za sebe.”

Kako ozbiljan – tvoja majka je bila i iz svog života odrastanja. Ono što drži si tako odan joj nakon svega što si prošla?
“Razumijem činjenicu da su svi prolazi kroz stvari u životu. Lako je da im kaže šta treba da rade. Potrebno je mnogo da stavi svoj ponos na stranu da bude obziran onoga što ljudi prolaze. Previše vodstvo mnogi ljudi po prvi put u odnosu na druge. Uzeo sam korak natrag i shvatio da se sve događa s razlogom i pogledaj kako sam se okrenuo danas. Moja majka i ja imamo sjajan odnos sada, jer sam bio razumijevanja svoju situaciju i nije ništa uzeo je radila namjerno ili mislim da je to bila usmjerena prema meni.”

Šta si učiti od vaše zadnje ShoBox boriti protiv Soro)?. Da li je vidjeli kao pozitivan ili negativan?
“Ja na borbu sa Soro kao pozitivan. U toj borbi sam dolje u težini, Najmanji sam s vremena na vrijeme. Ja sam bio na 155 umjesto mog uobičajenog težine 160. Odbacivanjem funti zaista imao veliki utjecaj na borbu i shvatio sam da sam u srednjoj i osjećaju ugodno na 160.”

To je Soro borbu zvao većinom remi — je da je totalno za vas? Kako ste saznali iz tog?
“Bio je to veliko razočaranje za mene da remi, ali sada znamo da ne ide bilo manje od 160. To je glavna stvar koju smo naučili u toj borbi. Postoji takva stvar kao previše disciplinovan. Ljudi primetio kako mršava sam bio za to borba, ali biti discipliniran borac sam je utvrđeno da se težina. Puno protivnika ne bi uzeo tu borbu, ali je to bila prilika da želim da iskoriste. Mislio sam da je to bila dobra odluka u to vrijeme, ali sam naučila vrijednu lekciju.”

Pokucao si tip zub u svojoj prvoj borbi ShoBox (Jan. 17, 2014, nasuprot Marquis Davis) tvoja mama i ukrao show u vašem prošle izgledu. Što imate u radnji za gledaoce na Mart 13?
“Mislim, Samo sam planirao za veliku borbu. To je sve što mogu da garantujem. Nisam jedan za praznovjerja [Petak The 13th]. Mogu samo da garantujem da će to biti velika borba.”

Koji je vaš najveća snaga? Tražite li nokaut ili da li smatrate možete ići 10 metaka i dobiti pobjedu na taj način?
“Vjerujem da mogu lupati za 10 kruga, ali to sve ovisi o protivniku. Neki ljudi su dovoljno jaki, koji može ići punom 10 kruga. Idem u i pokušati da nanese najviše iznos štete od otvaranja zvono.

“Moja najveća snaga je moja volja i odlučnost. Nikad nema trenutak kada želim odustati. Čak i ako se povredio u ringu, Neću podleći borca. To su misli koje prolaze kroz glavu.”

Jerry Odom je i na ovoj kartici i oboje su iz područja DC. Vi ste izjavili da ste vas dvoje su kao cimeri. Šta to znači da ga na kartici s tobom?
“To puno znači za mene. Dolazimo iz sličnih skromnih početaka i za nas da budemo na istoj kartici je istorijski za nas. Oboje imaju isti zajednički cilj i imamo mnogo toga što se borimo. Biti u mogućnosti da to uradite na tako velika pozornica na SHOWTIME i dokazati sve pesimiste pogrešno znači svijet za nas. To čini da je mnogo više vrijedi i za nas ispunjava, pogotovo ako oboje dobiti pobjedu.”

Pogodite?
“Predviđam pobjedu. Trenirala sam i vrlo naporno za to i sam spreman da stavi na show.”
