DETROIT (Junho 23, 2018) - Claressa Shields se tornou campeã mundial de duas divisões, e Christina Hammer manteve seus dois cinturões do título mundial, ambos conquistando vitórias por decisão unânime na noite de sexta-feira em Showtime Boxing: EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL do Templo Maçônico em Detroit, me.

 

 

 

E agora eles têm os olhos postos um no outro.

 

 

 

Os dois escudos medalhistas de ouro olímpicos da vizinha Flint, Mich., foi derrubada pela primeira vez em sua carreira 53 segundos do primeiro round, mas ela foi capaz de voltar e vencer todas as rodadas depois disso para se tornar uma campeã mundial de duas divisões, capturando os vagos campeonatos mundiais dos médios IBF e WBA contra Hanna Gabriels. Os juízes marcaram a luta 98-91, 97-92 duas vezes.

 

 

 

Hammer entrou no ringue após a luta dos Shields, e um escudo emocional pressionado em direção a Hammer e alguns empurrões e empurrões se seguiram. (ver video AQUI)

 

 

 

"Estou cansado de Hammer me desrespeitando o tempo todo,”Escudos (6-0, 2 KOs) dito. “Ela entra no ringue depois de todos os meus direitos, fala lixo, e então ela vai lá e parece [porcaria] contra Nelson. Eu estou cansado disso. Mas eu a deixei saber que estou mais do que pronto para uma luta contra ela. Ela queria que eu perdesse esta noite, mas eu queria que ela ganhasse porque eu quero lutar com ela. Temos que nos unificar agora. ”

 

 

 

Shields e Gabriels começaram a luta balançando furiosamente, mas era Gabriels (18-2-1, 11 KOs) quem conectou em um uppercut direito enviando escudos para a tela. (veja o vídeo de knockdown AQUI)

 

 

 

“Uma vez eu desci, Respirei fundo e me lembro de pensar comigo mesmo, ‘Estou prestes a chicotear essa garota’ ”Shields disse. “Só me lembro de pensar: vamos usar o jab e ser inteligentes.”

 

 

 

Gabriels da Costa Rica, um titular unificado de 154 libras, estava ganhando peso e tentando se tornar um campeão mundial de três divisões. (veja os destaques de Shields-Gabriels AQUI).

 

 

 

“Eu treinei para ir longe mas meu coração me traiu, porque depois daquele primeiro golpe, Eu estava procurando por outro,”Disse Gabriels, o atual campeão WBA e WBO que estava lutando em seu 12th luta pelo título mundial desde a conquista do título dos meio-médios em 2009. “Eu queria mostrar a todos que tenho um coração de guerreiro.

 

 

 

“Eu não senti que tinha uma vantagem após o knockdown. Eu senti que tinha que trabalhar rodada após rodada para ter a chance de ganhar. ”

 

 

 

Gabriels adicionados: “Ela tem muito poder. Foi uma grande luta e você tem que aceitar a decisão dos jurados. Ela é poderosa e para os fãs acho que correu bem.

 

 

 

Shields sofreu um corte na bochecha esquerda em rodada 10, e também venceu uma cabeçada. Ela se lembra de ter sido ferida pelos socos de Gabriels na cabeça apenas três vezes na luta. “A primeira rodada, quarta rodada e oitava rodada, além disso, ela não me atingiu com nenhum tiro na cabeça. "

 

 

 

Shields - em sua primeira luta com o novo treinador John David Jackson - disse que aprendeu algo sobre si mesma após a luta. “Eu posso ser colocado na minha bunda, levante-se e volte e ganhe," ela disse. “Esta noite foi minha noite e eu tenho que mostrar ao mundo que sou o melhor de todos os tempos. Eu mostrei quem eu sou. Agora, Eu sou muito perigoso porque você pode até me colocar no chão, e ainda voltarei para vencer. ”

 

 

 

A diferença na luta era Shields’ accuracy, especially in terms of her power shots as she connected on 42 percent compared to Gabriels’ 26 por cento.

 

 

 

Shields was asked after the fight when she would like to face Hammer. “Hopefully it’s next," ela disse. “I don’t need no rest. I could have whipped her tonight. I’m just so sick of her and her whole team.”

 

 

 

 

 

In a lopsided win in her highly anticipated U.S. estréia, Martelo (23-0, 10 KOs) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision against Tori Nelson (17-2-3, 2 KOs). Os escores foram 100-90, 99-91 duas vezes, to retain her WBC and WBO Middleweight World Title belts. (see Hammer-Nelson highlights AQUI).

 

 

 

“It would have been better to get a KO,”Disse Martelo, que é 27 years old and from Dortmund, Alemanha. “I tried everything I could to get the knockout. Ela era durona. I hope the USA is good with this and I’m still the champ.”

 

 

 

“Estou realmente ansioso para lutar contra Claressa. Ela vai tentar lutar contra mim por dentro, mas meu trabalho de pés e meu alcance farão a diferença. A luta com Claressa será uma virada de jogo. Será a maior luta feminina de todos os tempos. Eu gostaria de lutar com ela em um local neutro. ”

 

 

 

“Estou muito decepcionado com meu desempenho esta noite,”Disse um Nelson emocionado após a luta. “É uma perda, claro que é decepcionante. Eu não estava ocupado o suficiente, Eu acho."

 

 

 

Em sua última luta, Nelson perdeu na decisão unânime para Shields em janeiro. “Claressa é melhor,”Nelson disse. “Shields dá um jab e usa o anel. Claressa fica lá e quer lutar. Ela tem todos os golpes. Hammer só tem um. ”

 

 

 

Na abertura da cerimônia, Umar Salamov (21-1, 16 KOs) connected on a lethal right hand in knocking out Brian Howard (13-2, 10 KOs) 53 seconds into the ninth round of a scheduled 10-round light heavyweight bout.

 

 

 

Salamov, de Alkhan-Kala, Rússia, was making his United States debut and trains at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit with Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward. In a fight between two long and lanky fighters, Salamov landed 34 percent of his power punches compared to 27 percent for Howard and was ahead on all three judges’ scorecard at the time of the knockout.

 

 

 

“I was hurt a little bit in the second round from one of his shots, but I didn’t let it bother me because this is my U.S. estréia,”Disse Salamov, a six-year pro who is 24 anos. “I just kept fighting. After I got hit with that punch, I started coming forward and as soon as I did that, the fight changed.”

 

 

 

Salamov disse que soube assim que acertou na primeira direita que Howard estava ferido. “Eu soube assim que dei o soco que ele ficaria muito machucado,"Ele disse. “Senti até o cotovelo. Eu não queria bater nele depois disso porque sabia que ele estava acabado. "

 

 

 

O ex-cruiserweight Howard teve alguns destaques e foi capaz de acertar com a mão direita em várias ocasiões, incluindo um poderoso cruzamento de direita na sétima rodada que pareceu atordoar Salamov.

 

 

 

“Eu diria que fui justo, Eu fiz bem,”Disse Howard, um ex-jogador de futebol da liga menor que mora fora de Atlanta e estava fazendo sua estreia no SHOWTIME. “Tive a sorte de receber a ligação da equipe de Salamov e do SHOWTIME. Eu voltarei."

 

 

 

O tripleheader de sexta-feira será reproduzido na segunda-feira, Junho 25 em 10 p.m. ET / PT no SHOWTIME EXTREME e estará disponível no SHOWTIME ANYTIME® e SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

 

 

 

Barry Tompkins chamou a ação do ringue com o historiador do boxe Steve Farhood e o ex-campeão mundial Raul Marquez atuando como analistas especialistas. O produtor executivo foi Gordon Hall, com Richard Gaughan produzindo e Rick Phillips dirigindo.

CITAÇÕES FLASH:

 

Claressa Shields:

“Eu tenho John David Jackson agora e aprendi muito com ele desde que nos reunimos em fevereiro. Tive treinadores no passado que tentaram mudar meu estilo e jogo, mas no final do dia eu só tenho que ir lá e lutar como se eu soubesse.

 

 

 

“Estar em Flint para meu último acampamento, você não acreditaria em todas as coisas com as quais eu tive que lidar. Apenas coisas que não deveriam estar acontecendo com um campeão mundial. Foi estressante, e fiquei estressado mesmo na semana da luta [em janeiro]. eu tenho que sair. Pude treinar na Flórida desta vez.

 

 

 

"[Hanna's] um bom lutador. Ela tem habilidades e apenas a maneira como se comporta. Ela é muito calma e suas expressões faciais nunca mudam. Eu assisti a luta onde ela foi nocauteada, e mesmo assim suas expressões faciais não mudaram. Eu acho que ela é durona, mas não tão difícil quanto eu. Eu sei que sou o melhor lutador.

 

 

 

“Tori subestimou meu poder. Eu acho que Tori tem uma chance de perfurador [contra martelo]. Eu não envolvo minha carreira em torno de Hammer. Nossas vidas não se entrelaçam. Eu tenho que me preocupar com o que está na minha frente. Eu não vou assistir aquela luta.

 

 

 

“Eu estava focado na minha dieta para essa luta. Não tenho muita família na Flórida e não tive nenhuma distração. ”

 

HANNA GABRIELS:

 

 

“Precisamos assumir a responsabilidade e garantir que nosso plano de jogo esteja correto e dar aos fãs o que eles querem ver, que é uma grande luta. Você tem que superar muito e sacrificar para chegar a este ponto, e minha equipe fez isso.

 

 

 

“Eu nunca tive medo de ninguém. Palavras não fazem nada. Quando eu entrar no ringue, serei uma fera.

 

 

 

“Eu estou bem com o que vier, ganhar ou perder. Eu sou um campeão e essa é minha mentalidade no ringue. Estamos buscando a vitória, e estou apreciando tudo o que está acontecendo preparando para esta luta.

 

 

 

“Eu não subestimo o poder dela. Mas o boxe não é apenas uma questão de poder, há muito mais. Você pode ser poderoso, mas você pode acertar o soco? Pode ser preciso? Há tantas coisas acontecendo no ringue com que você precisa se preocupar. ”

 

CHRISTINA HAMMER:

 

 

“Fiquei muito desapontado por não ter conseguido lutar em janeiro por causa dos meus problemas de visto.

 

 

 

“Eu estava na luta Claressa Shields-Tori Nelson e agora é a minha vez de entrar no ringue. Eu gosto de ir em frente e ser agressivo. Quando você pode terminar, você termina. O povo americano vai gostar do meu estilo.

 

 

 

“O boxe é minha paixão e meu trabalho, e estou preparado e ansioso por isso. Agora o dia está aqui e é no SHOWTIME. Não estamos pensando em Claressa Shields. Em respeito a Tori Nelson, Estou focado apenas nesta luta. ”

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

“I’m a power puncher and I’ve been using my legs more in camp so this camp has been so much different than what I’m used to.

 

 

 

“They say lighting strikes only once, but I got another chance. I am so grateful I got the call for this fight. This is my second chance. A lot of people don’t get second chances.

 

 

 

‘I really have something to prove. A lot of people have believed in me and I’ve got to show what I can do in the ring.

 

 

 

“I think Christina is overlooking me. It’s disrespectful but I’m glad. It’s better for me that she does overlook me.”

 

UMAR SALAMOV:

 

 

“This fight is going to be a good test. I know I can make it into the top 10, and this is my start.

 

 

 

“Há uma grande diferença morar aqui em Detroit, mas é muito parecido com Moscou, uma grande cidade.

 

 

 

“Eu amo lutar, e este é um sonho que se tornou realidade vindo para a América. Brian Howard é um adversário difícil. Não será uma luta fácil, mas estou confiante de que posso vencê-lo. ”

 

BRIAN HOWARD:

 

 

“Eu tenho um pouco de ferrugem, mas eu vou ser afiado. Eu me preparei bem e estou em forma. Eu tenho ótimo metabolismo, e pode perder peso facilmente.

 

 

 

“Eu sofri minha primeira derrota em 2012 e depois que assumi essa perda, não tive o apoio de que precisava. Voltei para ele e foi difícil conseguir uma luta. Eu tenho muitos nãos.

 

 

 

“Eu vi uma fita do meu oponente. Mas você não sabe se ele vai mudar ou trazer outra coisa.

 

 

 

“Eu boxeio melhor do que jogo futebol. Meu apelido é MVP - Most Vicious Puncher.

 

 

 

“Eu não vejo que sou o lutador do lado B. Esta é uma oportunidade real para mim, e vou tirar o máximo proveito disso. ”

DETROIT (Junho 19, 2018) – Super Campeão do Mundo Middleweight unificadas da Mulher Claressa Shields and unified 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels spoke to the media at a workout session in Detroit just days before the two clash to decide the IBF & WBA Women’s Middleweight World Championships this Friday on SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

A Showtime Boxing: SPECIAL EDITION telecast begins at 10 p.m. ET/PT and features the No. 1 lutador em 168 pounds facing the No. 1 lutador em 154 pounds as they both attempt to become champions for the first time in the middleweight division.

Here is what Shields and Gabriels had to say today at the Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit:

 

Claressa Shields

 

“It’s been seven weeks of really hard work. A lot of people don’t know and I really don’t like to be open about it, but I got to 183 pounds after my last fight in January and now I’m 160. Isso é 23 libras. I was in camp running and getting ready for the fight and having to focus on weight was very different for me.

 

 

“I feel good and ready to go. I’m happy that she made it in safe and all that but now I’m just excited. You all know how I get before fights. The champ is here.

 

 

 

 

“So much has changed since I first turned pro. In my first fight, I was frustrated against Franchon (Crews Dezurn) during our fight. I was frustrated throughout camp and I really couldn’t handle everything that was going on. Now I know how to handle the media, the workouts, the interviews and still remain disciplined. The fact that I had to lose so much weight this camp only added more discipline.

 

 

 

“It makes me so happy and it just touches my heart to see four female fighters on the main fight poster. I was so happy that they decided to put them on TV. They have put me on before but it’s always been my goal to put other women on so when they decided to put Tori Nelson and Christina Hammer on I was so excited because this has never been done before. Women’s boxing is going somewhere.

 

 

 

“I always knew that it would take me to turn professional for women’s boxing to go to a higher level. That’s why I waited to win a second Gold Medal before I turned professional. To be the one to be the leader is special. I feel like I go out there every fight and give my best and show that I can box better than 90 percent of the men that box. If you have a choice to make a man the main event or me the main event, I always want them to choose me.

 

 

 

“There’s always mutual respect between me and my opponents. I’m thankful for them because I can’t do this by myself. I thank Hanna for stepping up and it’s mutual respect until Friday. I start getting really mean on Thursday,Friday is the fight and then after that we can exchange numbers and be friends.

 

 

 

“I expect her to use her gifts. She’s really good on her legs and she’s strong up top. I think she lacks in speed so I expect her to try to counter me and try to force me to make mistakes with her movement. I think she underrates my power.

 

 

 

“I never said that I wanted to get more knockouts. I’m perfectly fine being 5-0 com dois nocautes. No final do dia, I’m fine with that. The longer I’m in the ring boxing, o melhor. The more they get to see me on TV, that’s fine. Of course I would love to get the big knockout but look how disappointed Errol Spence Jr. was to get such a quick knockout of Ocampo. That didn’t please his fans. Se o nocaute vem, it comes.

 

 

 

“This will be my toughest fight. She’s the most skilled and has the most experience. She’s a three-time world champion. I’ve fought former world champions but she’s a three-time world champion to date. The girl that beat her, Hanna avenged that loss. I’m looking forward to her coming out and putting 100 percent in and I hope for us to have a great fight.

 

“I’m always confident going into fights. I’m not leaving the ring without having two new belts.”

 

HANNA GABRIELS

 

“I think that this is a time right now where women can have this type of platform. Claressa is a great champion and I have faced great women’s champions. I think it’s a great time for boxing fans to enjoy a quality fight. She’s a champion. I’m a champion. This will be a great matchup.

 

 

 

“You are going to see a very technical and aggressive fighter. That’s the only way that you can fight Claressa because she’s so aggressive herself and so tough, you can’t go in the ring passive against her. You have to put your life on the line in there and that’s what I’m planning to do.

 

 

 

“I feel honored to be on such a great card. This is a great opportunity and I just hope everybody sees this the way that I do. We trained hard. In my case, I wanted to bring the very best out of myself so the fans could leave the arena feeling great. Isto é o que o boxe é tudo. Bringing entertainment and emotions that most other sports don’t bring to people.

 

 

 

“Essa luta significa muito para mim. Every person that I love is going through a hard time right now, including my family. I just want to lead by example and show everybody that all odds are nothing. You can still fight the battle with as many resources or as little resources as you have. I’m dedicating this fight to all my loved ones because I promise there will be better times for us.

 

 

 

“When I was five years old I was sexually abused so my teenage years were tough. Sports always took me away from that. When I got an injury and I had to stop competing in track, I thought my life was over. For the next five or six years, I was very destructive and felt like I didn’t have a purpose. When I turned 24, I started a different passage and learned that everything that happened to me just made me the person I am today.

 

 

 

“We don’t really focus on anybody’s weaknesses because we believe if you’re a good professional and you are dedicating your life to this, you are supposed to get better at your weaknesses. So we focus on her strengths and I think we have a great plan. They say that she’s been underestimating me a lot but I think it’s part of her game and part of what she does.

 

 

 

“I think her strengths are pretty obvious. She has great feet. I don’t know if she punches hard but she’s very explosive. She must have a lot of power and she’s very defensive. She keeps her distance and she’s so big and I’m so small that we will have to risk a lot of things. Her confidence is one of her biggest strengths.

 

 

 

“This will probably be my toughest fight so far. I never had an amateur career, I had just one fight. Claressa has fought 80-something times so my schooling has been in the professional environment and I have had to learn in the process. Every fight has been a hard fight because I have to solve problems and I think she is definitely the toughest opponent because she’s so tall and so fast. She must walk around normally at 185 pounds and I’m not as big so we were a little worried at the beginning at how we would reach her body but we finally were able to figure that out in training and I’m confident that my game is going to surprise her a lot.

 

 

 

“Hopefully we can bring a surprise and people will get to see me and let everybody know that there are more great boxers out there that aren’t getting the same exposure or marketing that Claressa is getting. I don’t feel disrespected, I see this is an opportunity to show what I’ve been working on. Let them plan. Maybe those plans will fall.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a great fight. She’s coming for the victory and I’m coming for the victory as well. She’s in for a big surprise.”

Hizni Altunkaya challenges 2-division World Champion Beibut Shumenov for Vacant WBA Cruiserweight World title

Julho 7 em Astana, Cazaquistão

ASTANA, Cazaquistão (Junho , 2018) — Associação Mundial de Boxe (WBA) Não. 3-rated cruiserweight Hizni “O guerreiro” Altunkaya (30-1, 17 KOs) isn’t concerned about hitting the road to fight local hero and two-division World Boxing Association (WBA) Campeão mundial, Shumenov Beibu, for the vacant WBA World cruiserweight title, Julho 7 em Astana, Cazaquistão.

 

 

 

A 2004 Cazaquistão Olympian, Shumenov (17-2, 11 KOs) retired a year ago due to an eye injury that required surgeries, forçando-o a abandonar o seu título mundial WBA cruiserweight. Shumenov has fully recovered and he’s on a mission to recapture his WBA world cruiserweight title.

 

Shumenov vs. Altunkaya is a presentation of Shumenov’s company, KZ Event Productions, Inc. The July 7thgala event will be part of the 20thanniversary celebration of Astana being the capital of Kazakhstan. Many political dignitaries from Kazakhstan and around the World are expected to attend Shumenov’s comeback fight, which will air nationally on Qazaqstan TV and QAZSPORT TV, as well as internationally, including BoxNation in the United Kingdom.

 

 

 

I have no reservations about fighting Shumenov in his country,” 30-year-old Altunkaya said. “I believe that there will be a fair decision and the better fighter that evening will win. I will arrive in Kazakhstan with enough time for me to acclimate.

 

 

 

I have great respect for what he has achieved. Shumenov has a lot of experience and he is a strong boxer. We are studying some fights to find his weaknesses. I think it will be, technologically, a good fight, in which both of us will take chances to get a knockout. Eu sou um boxer, but when I see the chance for a knockout, I can change my style. It will be a tough fight and I will do my best to go home as world champion.

 

 

Altunkaya, who was born in Turkey but now lives and fights out of fighting out of Germany, nocauteado Mathias Reinhardt na primeira rodada, no Vitali Klitschko contra Shannon Briggs Conselho Mundial de Boxe (WBC) Heavyweight World Championship card in 2010, at O2 World Arena in Hamburg, Alemanha.

 

 

 

Em 2011, Altunkaya won a 12-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Salvatore Aiello (29-0) for the Interim World Boxing Federation (WBF) World cruiserweight crown. The gifted Turk captured the vacant Global Boxing Council (GBC) Intercontinental cruiserweight title in 2016, His pro loss happened last year, when he was stopped in round five by former World Boxing Organization (WBO) Cruiserweight World champion Krzysztof Glowacki (26-1).

 

 

 

Shumenov has a tremendous quality experience advantage over Altunkaya, who did not box as an amateur. Although Altunkava has fought more pro rounds than Shumenov, 147-140, the chiseled Kazakh has fought 88 rounds in major world title fights compared to zero for his Turkish opponent.

 

 

 

The fight against Glowacki was one of the most important experiences in my career,” Altunkaya added. “I know what I did wrong and I will not repeat those mistakes against Shumenov.

 

 

 

Lutas adicionais em breve será anunciado. Todas as lutas e os lutadores estão sujeitos a alteração.
