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?

“Il campo di addestramento è stato fantastico. 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. Voglio combattere il migliore, 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. Sono pronto. 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. A 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?

"Finora, 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.”

 

What is a typical day like at training camp?

 

 

 

“We’ve been in Austria for the last 10 giorni. A 7:30 am, we start the first interval runs.

“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.”

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: La nuova generazione Venerdì 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. Il 2012 e 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,”, Ha detto Shields. “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 Venerdì in Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (primo),”, Ha detto Shields. “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.”

 

 

 

Martello, 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: La nuova generazione.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

Nel 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 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 punzoni totale.

 

 

 

Hernandez (11-1, 7 KO) atterrato 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, soprattutto con il 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. A me, 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 trasmissione televisiva.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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 del terzo.

 

 

 

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) e (Javan) Zucchero (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.

 

 

 

Di venerdì tripleheader will replay on Lunedi, Jan. 15 a 10 p.m. E/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

CITAZIONI FINALI:

 

 

Claressa Shields:

 

 

“Tori porta un sacco più aggressività, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Su carta, lei ha il miglior curriculum di qualsiasi avversario ho affrontato e può mettere su una lotta più.

 

 

 

“Tutti mi sottovaluta a causa della mia taglia. Il mio telaio sembra che io sono un 140 ma in realtà io sono un 168. Ognuno va in una lotta a pensare di poter vincere, 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.

 

 

 

“Mi aspetto che il mio avversario per applicare pressione, e di utilizzare alcune tattiche sporche. Ha più esperienza, ma non più di tanto quando si parla della sua esperienza amatoriale.

 

 

 

“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.

 

 

 

“Questo è stato un campo difficile, Ho davvero me stesso spinto. Faccio di solito sei settimane, questa volta ho fatto otto settimane. Non avevo combattuto da August così ho voluto darmi un extra di due settimane, quindi sapevo di essere in perfetta forma.

 

 

 

“Non c'è dubbio che io iniziare l'anno con una vittoria, ma vedo questo come una lotta competitiva. Ho intenzione di avere a guadagnare la vittoria, ma credo di poter KO il suo dal sesto, settimo round.”

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

“So di essere il perdente, ma ho lasciato cadere nove persone. Non ha segnato un atterramento ancora come un pro. Quando Claressa diventato professionista, Sapevo che avrei dovuto affrontare la sua fine.

 

 

 

“Una vittoria è quello che mi è venuta per. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, ma gli altri pugili di sesso femminile fino a venire dopo di me.

 

 

 

“Sento che è più divertente per guardare una lotta femminile. Quando le donne vengono eliminati, ottengono il giusto sostegno e andare dopo di nuovo. Quando gli uomini sono caduto a terra, cominciano a nascondersi, perché non vogliono essere di nuovo colpire. Quindi penso che dovremmo avere pagato tanto quanto gli uomini.

 

 

 

“Sono felice di essere qui, 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, ma ho intenzione di scuotere il mondo.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

“Non stanno andando a darmi nulla. 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

 

 

“Sto solo cercando di avvicinarsi ad una lotta per il titolo. Muovendo la classifica è l'obiettivo principale in questo momento, e io sono sulla strada giusta. Una vittoria qui in un 10 round lotta sarebbe enorme per la mia carriera.

 

 

 

“Essere un combattente a tutto tondo è qualcosa su cui sto lavorando. Ma non si può diventare un combattente a tutto tondo fino ad ottenere l'esperienza e le lotte ed è quello a cui sto lavorando facendo adesso. Voglio ottenere più giri in e progresso.

 

 

 

“Combattere un mancino non è un problema per me. Posso cambiare la mia posizione, ma non è qualcosa che penso o di un piano. E 'appena avviene naturalmente in una lotta.

 

 

 

“Ho sempre creduto in me stesso, anche quando ho preso tempo fuori. Ho creduto che avrei potuto tornare in esso e arrivare a un livello superiore. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, ma ha mostrato altri appartengo e che posso competere ai massimi livelli.”

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

“Mi piace portare la pressione, 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, lo stancarsi negli ultimi turni, e portarlo fuori.

 

 

 

“Si tende a cambiare, 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 (contro l'imbattuto Jon Fernandez) Stavo combattendo un peso molto più elevato.

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

A seguito del Shakh:

 

 

“Mi piace la formazione qui a causa del fatto che si tratta di un ambiente diverso qui negli States. E 'un vero professionista di installazione, Sento che le mie competenze e la mia tecnica hanno ottenuto molto meglio di formazione qui con la Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

“So che lui è un combattente esperto. E 'imbattuto e sta arrivando a combattere. E 'una grande opportunità per entrambi di noi.

 

 

 

“Sono molto onorato di essere su Showtime e felice di essere sempre questo tipo di esposizione nazionali. Una vittoria mi avrebbe cementare come uno dei migliori prospettive welter junior del mondo.

 

 

 

“Ho ottenuto molto meglio di formazione presso la Kronk Gym Boxe a Detroit. Ultimo campo di addestramento è stato un'introduzione allo stile americano di pugilato e questo campo davvero migliorato la mia tecnica e tattica con l'intenso sparring.

 

 

 

"Sono 11-0 con 11 ko. Sono un pugile e voglio buttarlo fuori, ma mi sono allenato per la distanza. Mi sono allenato a bussare qualcuno fuori al primo turno e l'ottava prova.

 

 

 

“Questo è un grande step-up in opposizione, ma ho avuto nel corso 200 combattimenti dilettanti contro alcuni tra i migliori pugili dilettanti nel mondo. Ho battuto campioni olimpici e combattenti dilettanti molto compiuta.”

 

 

 

SONNY FREDRICKSON

 

 

“Ho aspettato per questa esposizione per lungo tempo. Ho cercato di ottenere in TV per gli ultimi due o tre anni, quindi questo è un affare enorme per me. Speriamo che una vittoria mi urta fino in cima 5 e mi dà una title shot alla fine di quest'anno o all'inizio del prossimo anno.

 

 

 

“Abbiamo SPAR molto con Robert (Pasqua). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Gli do alcune indicazioni qua e là e lui fa lo stesso per me.

 

 

 

“Non so troppo il mio avversario. So che è un mancino e lui ha un forte pugno. E 'una buona partita per me. Vuole continuare a venire in avanti e terrestri pezzi grossi così sarò in grado di outbox lui abbastanza facilmente.

 

 

 

“Non credo che i nervi saranno fattore. Ho combattuto sulla carta di Andre Ward, Sono stato in grandi lotte prima.

 

 

 

“Io vado a buttarlo fuori dopo il terzo turno. Io vado a dire, ehi, tirarlo fuori di qui.

 

 

 

“Dopo questa lotta, I fan potranno iniziare ad imparare il mio nome. Credo che vorranno vedere me avere un colpo al 140 pound titolo.”
