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.

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. Azt akarom, hogy a legjobb ellen, 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. Készen állok,. 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 am, make myself a small breakfast (2 boiled eggs, 2 pieces of turkey bacon and some steamed asparagus) or a fruit smoothie. At 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 salmonwith 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.”

VERONA, Y.. (Január. 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: A New Generation Péntek 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. A 2012 és 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 Péntek Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (első),” 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.”

 

 

 

Kalapács, 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 KO) became the 173rd undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional loss on ShoBox: A New 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.”

 

 

 

A ShoBox co-szolgáltatás, 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 KO) 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 Összesen ütések.

 

 

 

Hernandez (11-1, 7 KO) leszállt 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. Hozzám, 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 tv-közvetítés.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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) és (Javan) Cukor (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.

 

 

 

A pénteki tripleheader will replay on Hétfő, Január. 15 at 10 p.m. ÉS/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

FINAL QUOTES:

 

 

CLARESSA SHIELDS:

 

 

„Tori hoz sokkal több agresszió, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Papíron, ő a legjobb folytatása minden ellenfél, amit szembe, és tegye fel a jobb küzdelem.

 

 

 

„Mindenki alábecsüli, mert az én méretem. Saját keret néz ki, mint én vagyok 140 de tényleg én vagyok 168. Mindenki megy a harc azt gondolták, hogy lehet nyerni, 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.

 

 

 

„Azt várom az ellenfél nyomás alkalmazása, és használni néhány piszkos taktika. Ő több tapasztalat, de nem sokat, ha beszélsz róla, amatőr tapasztalat.

 

 

 

“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.

 

 

 

„Ez egy kemény tábor, Nagyon tolt magam. Szoktam csinálni hat hét, Ebben az időben én nyolc hét. Azt nem harcolt augusztus óta így akartam adni magamnak egy extra két hét, így tudtam, hogy tökéletes állapotban.

 

 

 

„Kétségtelen, hogy én indul az év a győzelem, de látom ezt, mint a versenyképes harc. Megyek kell keresni a győzelem, de azt hiszem, KO neki a hatodik, hetedik körben.”

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

„Tudom, hogy az esélytelenebb, de már csökkent kilenc ember. Még nem szerzett egy akciós még a pro. Amikor Claressa profiként, Tudtam, hogy szembenézzen vele végül.

 

 

 

„A győzelem az, amit jöttem. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, de más női ökölvívók jön utánam.

 

 

 

„Úgy érzem, hogy ez inkább szórakoztató nézni egy nő küzdelem. Amikor a nők kap esett, ők rögtön vissza, és menj utána ismét. Amikor a férfi kap leütött, kezdik bujkál, mert nem akarja, hogy hit újra. Tehát úgy gondolom, meg kell, hogy fizessenek, csakúgy, mint a férfiak.

 

 

 

„Nem vagyok boldog, hogy itt lehetek, 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, de megyek sokk a világ.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

„Nem fognak adni nekem semmit. 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

 

 

„Én csak próbálok közelebb címet küzdelem. Magasabb a rangsorban a fő cél most, és én vagyok a helyes úton. A win itt egy 10 körös küzdelmet hatalmas lenne a karrierem.

 

 

 

„Mivel egy minden-körül harcos valami dolgozom. De nem lesz egy jól lekerekített harcos, amíg nem kap a tapasztalat és a harcok, és ez az, amit én dolgozom csinál most. Azt szeretnénk, hogy minél több kört és haladás.

 

 

 

„Fighting balkezes nem jelent problémát számomra. Tudok váltani álláspontomat, de ez nem olyasmi, amit gondolok, vagy tervet. Ez csak előfordul a természetben a harcot.

 

 

 

„Mindig hittem magamban, akkor is, amikor szakított időt. Azt hitték, hogy én is kap vissza, és kap egy felső szintű. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, de megmutatta másoknak tartozom, és hogy tudok versenyezni a legfelső szinten.”

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

„Szeretem, hogy a nyomás, 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, szerzés őt fáradt az utóbbi fordulók, és figyelembe őt.

 

 

 

„Hajlamos váltani, 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 (ellen veretlen Jon Fernandez) Küzdöttem sokkal nagyobb súlyt.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

Miután a Shakh:

 

 

„Szeretem képzés itt, mert az a tény, hogy ez egy más hangulatot itt az Államokban. Ez egy igazi profi beállítás, Úgy érzem, hogy tudásomat és a technika ütött sokkal jobb képzési Itt a Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

„Tudom, hogy ő egy tapasztalt harcos. Ő veretlen, és ő jön a harcot. Ez egy nagy lehetőség mindkettőnk számára.

 

 

 

„Nagyon megtisztelő, hogy a Showtime és boldog, hogy egyre ez a fajta nemzeti expozíció. A win volna megszilárdítani rám, mint az egyik legjobb junior váltósúlyú kilátások a világ.

 

 

 

„Kaptam egy sokkal jobb képzés a Kronk Bokszterem Detroit. Az utolsó edzőtábor volt egy bevezetés az amerikai stílusú boksz és ez a tábor igazán javult a technikám és taktikák az intenzív sparring.

 

 

 

"Én vagyok 11-0 a 11 kiütéssel. Én egy lyukasztó és szeretnék ütni, de én már kiképzett távolság. Már képzett ütni valakit az első fordulóban, és a nyolcadik fordulóban.

 

 

 

„Ez egy nagy lépés felfelé ellenzéki, de már volt több 200 amatőr ellen harcol néhány, a legjobb amatőr bokszoló a világon. Én Legyőztem olimpiai bajnokok és nagyon művelt amatőr harcosok.”

 

 

 

SONNY Fredrickson

„Mi küzdeni sokat Robert (Húsvét). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Adok neki néhány támpontot itt-ott, és ő ugyanezt teszi számomra.

 

 

 

„Nem tudom, hogy túl sokat az ellenfelem. Tudom, hogy egy balkezes, és van egy erős ütést. Ő egy jó meccs nekem. Azt akarja, hogy folyamatosan jön előre, és a föld nagy lövések így képes lesz arra, hogy kimenőt neki elég könnyen.
