Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Shields is deep in preparation for her attempt to become a two-division world champion when she faces fellow unified champion Hanna Gabriels at Masonic Temple in Detroit on Friday, Junie 22.

 

 

 

Shields, a unified champion at 168 pond, and Gabriels, a unified titlist at 154 pond, will meet for the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Championships on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION at 10 namiddag. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

A native of Flint, Mich., Shields (5-0, 2 Uitklophoue) was the first American boxer in history – male or female – to win consecutive Olympic Gold Medals. The 23-year-old turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and became unified women’s super middleweight world champion in just her fourth professional fight. Shields now begins her first camp with renowned trainer John David Jackson as she attempts to become a two-division champion.

 

 

 

SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION will also feature extensive highlights of unified women’s middleweight champion Christina Hammer (22-0, 10 Uitklophoue) as she defends her WBC & WBO titles in her U.S. debut against former world champion Tori Nelson (17-1-3, 2 Uitklophoue). If both Shields and Hammer are victorious in their 160-pound bouts on June 22, they will meet in a fall blockbuster on SHOWTIME to determine the undisputed women’s middleweight world champion.

 

How has training camp been so far?

“Training camp has been great. It’s been fun and I’ve been working my butt off. I can’t wait to step in the ring with another champion and make history by winning the world title in my second weight division!"

What can fans expect from you on June 22?

“The fans can expect for me to fight like I’m Okoye from Wakanda! I’ve never been more motivated, more ready, and more able to take on the challenges and achieve my goals. Ek wil die beste om te veg, and I want to be the best ever. I will give everything onJune 22 against Hanna Gabriels to win a world title in my second weight division, then I want Christina Hammer, so we can unify all the middleweight belts, and then my sights will be on getting to the 154-pound world title.”

 

What are some of your future goals in boxing?

“I want to lift women’s boxing for all the women past, present and future. I want equality for women and men in boxing. I want to be recognized as one of the pound-for-pound best in the sport among both men and women, no gender labels. And I want to be known as the best female boxer ever. Ek is gereed. Come to Detroit on June 22 and see me live, watch me on SHOWTIME, and join the team as we make history!"

What have you learned training with John David Jackson?
“Coach John is very knowledgeable, he’s been working with me on my patience. He admires the beast inside of me, but just wants me to control it more and be smart. He’s been to the biggest battles with some great world champions, and I’m glad to have his experience and knowledge on my team.”

What is your typical day like in camp?
“A typical day in camp can go according to either of two plans. Plan 1 is I wake up at 9 is, make myself a small breakfast (2 boiled eggs, 2 pieces of turkey bacon and some steamed asparagus) or a fruit smoothie. Op 11 am I’m at the gym training. By1:30 pm, I’m at the gym. My workout usually consists of bag drills, mitt work, shadow boxing, jumping rope, speed bag and ring drills. Then I either swim or run at 6 pm the same day. On the days I do Plan 2, I still wake at 9 am and have my breakfast and then 11 am-1:30 pm, I’m in the gym. But right after that, I do strength and conditioning, which consists of box jumps, dumb bell squats, some drills with weights for my upper body, or a four-mile run.”

Have you made any changes to your training and nutrition for your first fight at middleweight?
“Right after my fight with Tori Nelson, I knew I would be fighting next at middleweight, so I stayed in the gym three times a week until Mark (Taffet) told me we secured June 22 on SHOWTIME against Hanna Gabriels. But to properly make middleweight, I had to learn about my body some more. Losing weight is more about a routine than it is about eating less food. The good thing for me is that I like healthy food – my body and mind feel best when I eat that way. The only difference in camp is I eat smaller portions of the food I like and drink a lot more water. This camp I’ve been heavy on fish, all kinds of fish from cod, salmon, Atlantic salmon — with sides of asparagus, sweet potatoes, rice or spinach. And body clock is important, so no eating after 7 pm. I’m feeling great and will be in the best shape of my life when I get in that ring on June 22.”

Who are your sparring partners?

“So far, I’ve sparred with Matt Korobov and Daniyar Yelluisar. I love to spar with men – I find that the strength and speed helps me get the most out of the sparring.”

What have you done differently in preparation for this fight?

“Well I always say this, but I don’t get ready to face my opponents – my trainer John David Jackson focuses more on the opponent than I do. I just get prepared to be the best version of me. I’ve seen film of Hannah and I’m not impressed – I know she’s a champion and I respect that, but I’ve never seen a woman who can stay in the ring with me. It’ll take two of her to even have a chance at beating me.”

How has training camp gone so far?

 

 

 

“My camp has gone well. We train three times a day and work hard to be in the best shape possible on June 22 in Detroit.”

 

Can you tell us about your current training location?

 

 

 

“We are in Austria, staying at a place in the mountains that is about 5000-feet elevation. It’s amazing here. The nature and the mountains inspire me and give me power. It’s very comfortable to do my roadwork and go to the boxing gym because everything is situated in a comfortable way.”

 

What is a typical day like at training camp?

 

 

 

“We’ve been in Austria for the last 10 dae. Op 7:30 is, we start the first interval runs. Op 9 is, I have breakfast and at 11 is, we go up to the mountains to our gym (which is at 6500 feet high) to do my strength and conditioning work. Later, in the afternoon, we start our boxing work. The nature and beautiful surroundings give me peace of mind.”

 

How and why is your training camp built into different stages?

 

 

 

“The mountains are perfect to prepare for the fight. You are away from your hometown stay more focused on training. The air is thin and this high level of elevation gives your body a higher level of conditioning. Op Junie 10, we will move on to our next stage of training, which will take place in the United States. That will be to help acclimate me to the new time and climate for fight night on June 22, which is when I will put all of this hard work together and have it pay off in a big way.”

 

Who is your head trainer?

 

 

 

“My coach is Dimitrie Kirnos. I started my professional career with him. He himself was Soviet Union Boxing Champion and trained many top champions. He is old school and pushes my mind and body to the limit. He is a big part of my team we have a great bond. I have much respect and admiration for him.”

 

Have you done anything different preparing for this fight?

 

 

 

“I spar with lots of shorter fighters, like Tori Nelson. I guarantee that it will be much more explosive and impressive than Claressa Shields was against her.”

 

American fans love knockouts. Can they expect a Christina Hammer KO on June 22?

 

 

 

“That’s why I train hard and give everything in the gym. I want to be amazing that night and a knockout would be a perfect ending.”

 

 

What is your prediction for Junie 22?

 

 

 

“I will show my power and skills. People will see who the real unified Middleweight Champion of the world is. My performance will speak for itself!"

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: Die nuwe generasie Vrydag 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. Die 2012 en 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 Vrydag in Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (eerste),” 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 Uitklophoue) became the 173rd undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional loss on ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

In die ShoBox mede-funksie, 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 Uitklophoue) found a second wind and seemed to pick up the eighth and ninth rounds until Hernandez roared back in an excellent 10ste and final round that featured 178 totale stoot.

 

 

 

Hernandez (11-1, 7 Uitklophoue) geland 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. Vir my, 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 uitsending.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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 Uitklophoue) unable to defend himself and eating a series of brutal lefts, referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to stop the bout at 1:58 van die derde.

 

 

 

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) en (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.

 

 

 

Vrydag se tripleheader will replay on Maandag, Jan. 15 by 10 namiddag. EN/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

Russiese Swaargewig APTI Davtaev Bly onoorwonne op Shields vs. Nelson undercard by die draai Stone Resort Casino

Skryf 'n opmerking
Verskeie vermaak gevegte uitgelig die untelevised undercard vir twee-tyd Olimpiese goue medalje Claressa Shields verdediging van haar WBC en IBF titels teen verpligte uitdager Tori Nelson by die draai Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York vanaand.
In die belangrikste ondersteunende bout, Detroit via Kurchaloi, Rusland, swaargewig APTI Davtaev het 'n suksesvolle Verenigde State van Amerika veg debuut deur scoring 'n ses-ronde eenparige besluit oor Philadelphia se Garrett “Die Ultimate Warrior” Wilson.
Wilson het nie dit maklik maak. Veg uit 'n hurk, die swaar gespierde, maar baie korter Wilson het met genoeg wilde Haymakers om die hele stryd baie interessant maak. Davtaev lyk na 'n swaar regterhand het, wat hy laat val op die harde hoof van Wilson dikwels genoeg om die einde te verdien, maar verdien knik. Davtaev lasbriewe krediet vir 'n oorlog wanneer een van Wilson se herhaling swaaie verbind.
Davtaev (nou 14-0-1, 13 Uitklophoue) verloor sy ideale KO persentasie, maar loop weg met 'n harde geveg oorwinning oor 'n vyand wat gekom het om te wen. Wilson is nou (18-14-1, 9 Uitklophoue).

FINALE KWOTASIES:

 

 

CLARESSA SHIELDS:

 

 

"Tori bring 'n baie meer aggressie, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Op papier, Sy het die beste CV van enige opponent Ek het die gesig gestaar en kan sit 'n beter stryd.

 

 

 

"Almal onderskat my ter wille van my grootte. My raam lyk asof ek 'n 140 maar regtig ek is 'n 168. Almal gaan in 'n geveg te dink hulle kan wen, 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.

 

 

 

"Ek verwag dat my opponent te druk toe te pas, en 'n paar vuil taktiek gebruik. Sy het meer ervaring, maar nie veel wanneer jy praat van haar amateur ervaring.

 

 

 

“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.

 

 

 

"Dit het 'n harde kamp was, Ek het regtig gestoot myself. Ek gewoonlik doen ses weke, hierdie tyd wat ek gedoen het agt weke. Ek het nie geveg sedert Augustus so ek wou myself 'n ekstra twee weke gee so ek het geweet ek was in perfekte vorm.

 

 

 

"Daar is geen twyfel dat ek begin die jaar met 'n oorwinning, maar ek sien dit as 'n mededingende stryd. Ek gaan hê om die oorwinning verdien, maar ek glo ek kan KO haar deur die sesde, sewende ronde. "

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

"Ek weet ek is die underdog, maar Ek het nege mense val. Sy het nog 'n uitklop nie aangeteken as 'n pro. Wanneer Claressa draai pro, Ek het geweet dat ek wil hê om uiteindelik die gesig staar haar.

 

 

 

" 'N Oorwinning is wat ek het vir. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, maar ander vroulike boksers kom na my.

 

 

 

"Ek voel dit is meer entertaining om 'n vroulike stryd kyk. Wanneer vroue kry gedaal, hulle kry gou terug op en gaan na dit weer. Wanneer mense kry platgeslaan, hulle begin wegkruip omdat hulle nie wil hê om weer te slaan. So ek dink ons ​​moet betaal net soveel soos die manne.

 

 

 

"Ek is geseënd om hier te wees, 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, maar ek gaan die wêreld te skok.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

"Hulle is nie van plan om my iets te gee. 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

 

 

"Ek is net probeer om nader aan 'n titelgeveg kry. Beweeg die ranglys is die hoofdoel nou, en ek is op die regte pad. 'N Oorwinning hier in 'n 10-ronde stryd sou groot vir my loopbaan wees.

 

 

 

"Om 'n all-around vegter is iets ek werk. Maar jy kan nie 'n afgeronde vegter totdat jy die ervaring en die gevegte te kry en dit is wat ek werk doen nou. Ek wil meer rondtes in en vordering te kry.

 

 

 

"Veg 'n hotklou is nie 'n probleem vir my. Ek kan my standpunt oor te skakel, maar dit is nie iets wat ek dink oor of plan. Dit gebeur net natuurlik in 'n stryd.

 

 

 

"Ek het nog altyd geglo in myself, selfs toe ek tyd af. Ek het geglo dat ek terug kan kry in dit en kry 'n top-vlak. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, maar dit het ander ek behoort en wat ek kan meeding op die hoogste vlak. "

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

"Ek hou daarvan om die druk te bring, 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, kry hom moeg in die laaste rondes, en neem hom uit.

 

 

 

"Hy is geneig om oor te skakel, 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 (teen onoorwonne Jon Fernandez) Ek is veg 'n veel hoër gewig.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

Na aanleiding van die Shakh:

 

 

"Ek is lief vir die opleiding van hier as gevolg van die feit dat dit 'n ander atmosfeer hier in die Verenigde State. Dit is 'n ware professionele opset, Ek voel dat my vaardighede en my tegniek 'n baie beter opleiding hier gekry met Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

"Ek weet dat hy is 'n ervare vegter. Hy is onoorwonne en hy kom om te veg. Dis 'n groot geleentheid vir beide van ons.

 

 

 

"Ek is baie geëerd om op Showtime en gelukkig te wees om hierdie soort van nasionale blootstelling. 'N Oorwinning sal my sement as een van die beste junior weltergewig vooruitsigte in die wêreld.

 

 

 

"Ek het 'n baie beter opleiding gekry by die Kronk Boxing Gym in Detroit. Laaste oefenkamp was 'n inleiding tot die Amerikaanse styl van boks en hierdie kamp regtig verbeter my tegniek en taktiek met die intense sparring.

 

 

 

"Ek is 11-0 met 11 uitklophoue. Ek is 'n ponser en ek wil hom te klop, maar Ek het opgelei vir die afstand. Ek het opgelei om iemand te klop in die eerste ronde en die agtste ronde.

 

 

 

"Dit is 'n groot stap-up in opposisie, maar ek het oor gehad 200 amateur gevegte teen sommige van die beste amateur boksers in die wêreld. Ek het Olimpiese medaljewenners en baie bekwame amateur vegters geslaan. "

 

 

 

Sonny Fredrickson

 

 

"Ek het gewag vir hierdie blootstelling vir 'n lang tyd. Ek het al probeer om op TV te kry vir die afgelope twee of drie jaar, so dit is 'n groot deal vir my. Hopelik sal 'n oorwinning knoppe my in die top 5 en gee my 'n titel geskiet aan die einde van hierdie jaar of die begin van volgende jaar.

 

 

 

"Ons Spar baie met Robert (Easter). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Ek gee hom 'n paar wenke hier en daar en hy doen dieselfde vir my.

 

 

 

"Ek weet nie te veel oor my opponent weet. Ek weet hy is 'n Lefty en hy het 'n sterk punch. Hy is 'n goeie wedstryd vir my. Hy wil hou kom na vore en land groot skote so ek sal in staat wees om hom outbox redelik maklik.

 

 

 

"Ek dink nie senuwees sal faktor wees. Ek het geveg op Andre Ward se kaart, Ek het in groot gevegte was voor.

 

 

 

"Ek gaan hom te klop nadat die derde ronde. Ek gaan om te sê, hey, kry hom hier uit.

 

 

 

"Na hierdie stryd, aanhangers sal begin leer my naam. Ek dink hulle sal wil sien dat Ek het 'n skoot op die 140 pond titel. "
