A native of Flint, Mich., Shields (5-0, 2 KOS) 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 KOS) as she defends her WBC & WBO titles in her U.S. debut against former world champion Tori Nelson (17-1-3, 2 KOS). 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. Jeg ønsker at bekæmpe den bedste, 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. Jeg er klar. 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 er, make myself a small breakfast (2 boiled eggs, 2 pieces of turkey bacon and some steamed asparagus) or a fruit smoothie. På 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?

"Indtil nu, 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.”

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.”

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: Den nye generation Fredag 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. Den 2012 og 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 sagde. “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 Fredag i Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (første),”Shields sagde. “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 KOS) became the 173rd undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional loss on ShoBox: Den nye generation.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

I ShoBox co-feature, 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 KOS) found a second wind and seemed to pick up the eighth and ninth rounds until Hernandez roared back in an excellent 10th and final round that featured 178 samlede slag.

 

 

 

Hernandez (11-1, 7 KOS) landet 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. For mig, 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 fjersynsudsendelse.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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 KOS) unable to defend himself and eating a series of brutal lefts, referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to stop the bout at 1:58 af den tredje.

 

 

 

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) og (Javan) Sukker (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.

 

 

 

Fredagens tripleheader will replay on Mandag, Jan. 15 på 10 p.m. OG/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

Russisk Heavyweight Apti Davtaev Remains ubesejrede på Shields vs. Nelson undercard på Turning Stone Resort Casino

Efterlad en kommentar
Adskillige underholdende kampe fremhævede untelevised undercard til to-tiden OL-guldvinder Claressa Shields forsvar af hendes WBC og IBF-titler mod obligatorisk udfordrer Tori Nelson på Turning Stone Resort Casino i Verona, New York i aften.
I de vigtigste understøttende Bout, Detroit via Kurchaloi, Rusland, sværvægter Apti Davtaev havde en succesfuld USA kæmper debut ved at score en seks-round enstemmig beslutning i Philadelphias Garrett “The Ultimate Warrior” Wilson.
Wilson gjorde det ikke nemt. Fighting ud af en crouch, den stærkt muskuløs, men meget kortere Wilson kom op med nok vilde haymakers at gøre hele kampen meget interessant. Davtaev synes at have en tung højre hånd, som han faldt over på den hårde leder af Wilson ofte nok til at tjene den tætte, men fortjente nik. Davtaev garanterer kredit for at gå i krig, når et af Wilsons looping gynger tilsluttet.
Davtaev (nu 14-0-1, 13 KOS) mister sin perfekte KO procentdel, men går væk med en hård sejr over en fjende, der kom til at vinde. Wilson er nu (18-14-1, 9 KOS).
Pointene blev 58-56 fra alle tre dommere.
En utilsigtet skalle bragt en forkortet ende til den seks-runde super let tilbagevenden Aktjubinsk, Kazakhstan’s Bakhtiyar Eyubov.
Ind mod Lynchburg, Virginia’s Maurice Chalmers (14-13-1, 8 KOS), den spændende Slugger Eyubov (13-0, 11 KOS) blev fremrykkende bag aktiv hoved bevægelse og en stram shell, da hans hoved kolliderede med tilbagetog Chalmers’. The cut that resulted was ruled too severe and the fight was ruled a No Decision at 1:59 af åbningen runde.
I en vild kvinders lys sværvægter Brawl featuring næver flyver fra alle retninger, brydning besidder og flere MMA-stil takedowns, Franchon “Heavy Hitting Diva” Besætningerne-Dezurn vandt en enstemmig seks-runde beslutning i løbet af Tiffany “The Terminator” Woodard.
Besætninger-Dezurn, nu 3-1, 1 KO, af Baltimore, Maryland, havde for mange våben til Wilson, North Carolina’s Woodard (nu 4-10-3, 3 KOS), så Woodard forsøgte, og det lykkedes at gøre tingene grim. Hvad fulgte var en vild slag-out med albuer og låsehuse og takedowns, der forlod både på lærredet mere end én gang.
Woodard tog en masse hårdt læder og fortjener ros for sin sejhed. Besætningerne-Dezurn viste klasse ved ikke at tage lokkemaden i det meste af kampen. Hun mistede et punkt i den sjette for en lusket hævn takedown.
Pointene blev 59-53, 59-54 og 59-54.
Detroit via Magnitogorsk, Russia’s Alexey Zubov outworked a determined Lamont “For glat” Kapers af Hawley, Pennsylvania, på vej til en seks-runde flertalsbeslutning.
En underholdende kamp mellem benhård cruiserweights, Zubov blev skåret over højre øje og tog nogle gode slag, men blot outworked de mere selektive Capers. Zubov viste sin ofte superior condition og arbejdede bag en uddannet jab, mens Kapers var tilfreds med at lægge i tovene og jord hårde pot shots ofte nok til at holde det interessant.
En score på 57-57 draw blev over-styret af scores 59-56 og 58-56 for den hårde russiske. Med sejren, Zubov flytter sin post til 17-1, 9 KOS. Kapers falder til 8-11-3.

AFSLUTTENDE citater:

 

 

Claressa SHIELDS:

 

 

”Tori bringer en masse mere aggression, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. På papiret, hun har den bedste CV for enhver modstander, jeg har konfronteret og kan sætte en bedre kamp.

 

 

 

”Alle undervurderer mig på grund af min størrelse. Min ramme ligner jeg er en 140 men virkelig jeg er en 168. Alle går ind i en kamp tænker de kan vinde, 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.

 

 

 

”Jeg forventer min modstander til at lægge pres, og at bruge nogle beskidte taktik. Hun har mere erfaring, men ikke så meget, når du taler om hendes amatør erfaring.

 

 

 

“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.

 

 

 

”Det har været en hård lejr, Jeg skubbede mig virkelig. Jeg plejer at gøre seks uger, denne gang jeg gjorde otte uger. Jeg havde ikke kæmpet siden august, så jeg ønskede at give mig selv en ekstra to uger, så jeg vidste, at jeg var i perfekt form.

 

 

 

”Der er ingen tvivl om, at jeg starter året med en sejr, men jeg ser det som en konkurrencedygtig kamp. Jeg har tænkt mig at skulle tjene sejren, men jeg tror, ​​jeg kan KO hende ved den sjette, syvende runde.”

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

”Jeg ved, jeg er underdog, men jeg har droppet ni mennesker. Hun har ikke scorede et knockdown endnu som en pro. Når Claressa blev professionel, Jeg vidste, jeg ville have til at stå over for hende til sidst.

 

 

 

”En sejr er, hvad jeg kom efter. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, men andre kvindelige boksere kommer op efter mig.

 

 

 

”Jeg føler, at det er mere underholdende at se en kvindelig kamp. Når kvinder bliver droppet, de kommer tilbage op og gå efter det igen. Når mænd bliver slået ned, de begynder at skjule, fordi de ikke ønsker at blive ramt igen. Så jeg synes, vi skal få betalt lige så meget som mændene.

 

 

 

”Jeg er velsignet at være her, 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, men jeg har tænkt mig at chokere verden.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

”De kommer ikke til at give mig noget. 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

 

 

”Jeg prøver bare at komme tættere på en titel kamp. Flytning op af ranglisten er det vigtigste mål lige nu, og jeg er på rette vej. En sejr her i en 10-runde kamp ville være enorme for min karriere.

 

 

 

”At være en all-around fighter er noget jeg arbejder på. Men man kan ikke blive et godt afrundet fighter, indtil du får den erfaring og de kampe, og det er, hvad jeg arbejder på at gøre lige nu. Jeg ønsker at få flere runder i og fremskridt.

 

 

 

”Fighting en southpaw er ikke et problem for mig. Jeg kan skifte min holdning, men det er ikke noget, jeg tænker over eller plan. Det sker bare naturligt i en kamp.

 

 

 

”Jeg har altid troet på mig selv, selv når jeg tog fri. Jeg troede, at jeg kunne komme tilbage i det og komme til et topniveau. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, men det viste andre jeg hører, og at jeg kan konkurrere på det øverste niveau.”

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

”Jeg kan lide at bringe trykket, 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, få ham træt i de sidste runder, og tage ham ud.

 

 

 

”Han har en tendens til at skifte, 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 (mod undefeated Jon Fernandez) Jeg kæmpede en meget højere vægt.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

Efter Shakh:

 

 

”Jeg elsker at træne her på grund af det faktum, at det er en anden stemning her i staterne. Det er en rigtig professionel opsætning, Jeg føler, at mine evner og min teknik har fået en meget bedre uddannelse her med Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

”Jeg ved, at han er en erfaren fighter. Han er ubesejret og han kommer til at kæmpe. Det er en stor mulighed for os begge.

 

 

 

”Jeg er meget beæret over at være på SHOWTIME og glad for at være at få denne form for national eksponering. En sejr ville cementere mig som en af ​​de bedste junior weltervægt udsigter i verden.

 

 

 

”Jeg har fået en meget bedre uddannelse på Kronk Boxing Gym i Detroit. Sidste træningslejr var en introduktion til den amerikanske form for boksning og denne lejr virkelig forbedret min teknik og taktik med den intense sparring.

 

 

 

"Jeg er 11-0 med 11 knockouts. Jeg er en puncher og jeg ønsker at slå ham ud, men jeg har trænet for afstanden. Jeg har trænet til at slå nogen ud i første runde, og den ottende runde.

 

 

 

”Dette er et stort skridt op i opposition, men jeg har haft i løbet af 200 amatør kampe mod nogle af de bedste amatør boksere i verden. Jeg har slået olympiske medaljevindere og meget dygtig amatør kæmpere.”

 

 

 

SONNY Fredrickson

 

 

”Jeg har ventet på denne eksponering i lang tid. Jeg har prøvet at komme på TV for de sidste to eller tre år, så dette er en stor aftale for mig. Forhåbentlig en win bump mig op i toppen 5 og giver mig en titel skudt i slutningen af ​​dette år eller i begyndelsen af ​​næste år.

 

 

 

”Vi sparre meget med Robert (Påske). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Jeg giver ham nogle pejlemærker her og der, og han gør det samme for mig.

 

 

 

”Jeg ved ikke alt for meget om min modstander. Jeg ved, han er en lefty, og han har en stærk slag. Han er et godt match for mig. Han ønsker at holde kommer frem og jord big shots, så jeg vil være i stand til at udbakke ham temmelig nemt.

 

 

 

”Jeg tror ikke, at nerverne bliver faktor. Jeg har kæmpet på André Wards kort, Jeg har været i store slagsmål før.

 

 

 

”Jeg har tænkt mig at slå ham ud efter den tredje runde. Jeg har tænkt mig at sige, hey, få ham ud af her.

 

 

 

”Efter denne kamp, fans vil begynde at lære mit navn. Jeg tror, ​​de får lyst til at se mig have et skud på 140 pund titel.”
