Apenas em sua primeira luta de oito rounds, Claressa “T-Rex” Shields obteve uma vitória espetacular por decisão unânime na última sexta-feira, Junho 16, no Templo Maçônico em Detroit para ganhar o título WBC Silver Super Middleweight.

Shields (3-0, 1KO) dominou Sydney difícil “Ginger, o Ninja” LeBlanc (4-2-1), vencendo todas as oito rodadas em todos os três juízes’ scorecards a caminho de adicionar o cinturão de prata do WBC ao cinturão do NABF Middleweight Championship. LeBlanc simplesmente não era páreo para os punhos em chamas do favorito da multidão, Shields, que se estabeleceu de forma convincente como uma candidata ao campeonato mundial de boxe feminino depois de apenas três lutas profissionais.
Shields’ luta foi o evento principal de um evento apinhado de Detroit Brawl, que estabeleceu um novo recorde de portão para a popular série de Detroit do promotor Dmitriy Salita.

“Claressa é uma das melhores boxeadoras do mundo!” disse Dmitriy Salita. “Independente de gênero, suas habilidades e experiência são as dos lutadores de elite do mundo. Ela está melhorando a cada luta e o céu é o limite. Claressa está pronta para os lutadores top de sua categoria e vamos trabalhar para que a próxima luta do campeonato aconteça”

No evento co-principal de 10 rodadas, peso cruzado transplantado de Detroit, Alexey Zubov mudou-se para 15-1, 9 KOs com uma decisão surpreendentemente fácil de 10 rodadas sobre o conceituado Demetrius Banks de Detroit (9-1, 4 KOs).
Desde o sino de abertura, a taxa de trabalho superior de Zubov contou a história, já que o confuso Banks não tinha respostas para o grande golpe do russo. Todos os três juízes marcou a luta 99-91. Não houve knockdowns.
“Duas das melhores perspectivas cruiserweight do mundo se encontraram em Detroit,” continuação da palavra. “O vencedor agora é um verdadeiro competidor, pronto para lutar contra os melhores do mundo. Alexey melhorou muito desde o tempo em que treinou com Sugar Hill no Kronk Boxing Gym. A magia de Kronk está viva e ganhou vida na atuação de Alexey. Grandes coisas no horizonte para ele!”
Outro estábulo crescente de candidatos promissores de Salita, Peso galo de Detroit Ja’Rico O’Quinn (7-0, 5KOs) tinha muitas ferramentas para o desarmado David Martino (2-3, 2 KOs) e venceu por decisão unânime e dominante (60-54, todos os três juízes). Um talento para assistir, O’Quinn basicamente conduziu o determinado Martino a seus tiros rápidos por seis rodadas.
“A defesa de Ja'Rico foi excelente em sua luta. Seu oponente raramente era capaz de tocá-lo. Ele vai ser uma força na 118 lbs. em um futuro não muito distante.”
Outro concorrente emergente do estábulo de Salita, bola de demolição do meio-médio júnior Bakhtiyar Eyubov (13-0, 11 KOs) precisou de apenas 1:41 da primeira rodada para mastigar e cuspir Cesar Soriano do México. Eyubov mirou no corpo de Soriano e tirou-lhe o fôlego com um baque surdo de capuzes de esquerda no fígado que acabou rapidamente. Eyubov é um animal.
“Bakhtiyar subiu na categoria de peso porque ninguém vai lutar com ele. Essa luta mostrou o porquê,” Disse Palavra. “Ele é muito forte para a maioria dos lutadores permanecerem por muito tempo. Ele estará em uma grande briga em um futuro próximo. Ele está pronto.”
Em outros resultados, Antonio Urista de Michigan (8-2, 2 KOs), tirou uma surpresa surpreendente com uma decisão unânime de seis rodadas (59-53 e 58-54 e 58-54) sobre o Turcomenistão Serdar Hudayberdiyev (3-1, 2 KOs). Urista largou Hudayberdiyev com uma mão direita em loop e nunca se recuperou totalmente. Ambos os lutadores sofreram cortes neste caso difícil.
Para abrir o show, Michigan meio-pesado Darren Gibbs (1-2, Eu nocauteei) obteve sua primeira vitória profissional com um TKO1 de 30 segundos sobre o estreante Scott McCurdy; Jacob Bonas (3-0-1, 2 KOs) marcou um TKO3 sobre Tony Brooks (1-2) e Dimash Niyazov (10-0-3, 5 KOs) permaneceu invicto com um nocaute técnico no quinto round sobre Ramon Guevara surpreendentemente determinado (10-24-2, 6 KOs).
“Thank you to everyone involved in this terrific show,” disse Dmitriy Salita. “The fans of Michigan asked for world-class boxing and they’ve responded by filling the Masonic Temple. And thank you to all my great sponsors for all their help and congratulations to all the fighters for their brave performances. It is onward and upward for Claressa Shields, who will be back later this summer against a world-class fighter. Clearly, she is ready for anyone in the world.”

A six-year pro who was already in training for a fight on June 10, LeBlanc says she’s eager for the chance to upset the two-time Olympian and budding women’s superstar Shields.
“I’ve been pro boxing for nine years, since before the Olympics had a women’s division and I’ve taken a lot of time off because of a lack of available opponents,” explained LeBlanc. “These Olympians are reopening the gates for all female fighters. Everybody was on the shelf for years. This is the first time female boxing has been popular since the Ann Wolfe days, so I’m very appreciative of the opportunities they are bringing. I’ve never watched any of my opponents before a fight, but I know about Claressa Shields and I want to fight her. I’m looking at this fight as a good chance to see where I’m at, skill-wise and I’ll be ready.”
Shields vs. LeBlanc will be contested for the WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship.

MONTREAL (Maio 30, 2017) – WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson and Andrzej Fonfara sounded off at the final press conference na terça-feira at Montreal Casino for their 175-pound rematch neste sábado live on SHOWTIME from Bell Centre.

 

WBC Light Heavyweight No. 1 contender Eleider Alvarez and former 175-pound champ Jean Pascal also faced off for their co-featured bout that opens the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast live at 9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT.

 

Both Stevenson (28-1, 23 KOs) e Fonfara (29-4, 17 KOs) scored knockdowns in their all-action meeting in 2014, the only time Stevenson has been down in his eight world title fights since winning the WBC belt in 2013. While the local Montreal favorite was pushed the distance in his first bout with Fonfara, he has scored knockouts in five of his seven title defenses and stated na terça-feira that he expects a knockout in the rematch.

 

Since the close loss to Stevenson in 2014, Fonfara has picked up wins against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Nathan Cleverly and Chad Dawson, and enters the rematch with a new trainer, the renowned Virgil Hunter.

 

Alvarez (22-0, 11 KOs) is undefeated and the mandatory challenger for Stevenson’s WBC belt, but he’ll face the toughest test of his career in Pascal (31-4-1, 18 KOs), a former WBC 175-pound champion who has faced some of the world’s best light heavyweights over the past decade.

 

Here’s what the fighters had to say na terça-feira:

 

ADONIS STEVENSON

“I’m ready because I know Fonfara is dangerous. We’re not underestimating him. I’ve prepared for everything, everything he brings in the ring I’ll be ready for it.

 

“I’m training for the knockout. Emanuel Steward always told me ‘knockouts sell.’ When I get in the ring I’m going for a knockout. It’s not an option for me to go 12 rounds.

 

“I train for 12 rounds, and if it goes 12 rounds he’s going to get punishment the whole time, but I definitely am going for the knockout.

 

“I see some things I can exploit in the ring.

 

“I won the first fight, and I know him very well. I know what he can do. I know he changed trainers. Virgil Hunter brings a lot of experience, I know he trains Andre Ward, and I know he’s very intelligent.

 

“I know Andrzej Fonfara from 12 rounds in the ring. He can’t change his style right now. He may show some improved defense, but after a couple of rounds it will be the old Fonfara.

 

“This fight will be different. I expect a knockout. I hurt my hand in our first fight, but now I’m fully healthy and I expect to knock him out.

 

“I know Fonfara is training hard to take my belt. I know he’s a tough fighter, and I know it’s not going to be easy for me.

 

“My goal is to unify the titles with the winner of (Sergey) Kovalev and (Outro) Enfermaria. I want the unification, but if not I’ll make my mandatory. If Ward wins I want to fight him, if Kovalev wins I want to fight him. Estou pronto. "

 

Andrzej Fonfara

“I’m a much smarter fighter now. Mentalmente, I’m much strong and smarter.

 

“I bettered myself. Virgil (Caçador) has taught me a lot of new stuff. Some things worked in my last fight with Chad Dawson, some things didn’t. But that was our first fight together. Now I’m ready to show everything in this fight.

 

“I’ve had a lot of success against southpaws. I like fighting them. Chad Dawson was a southpaw, so the last two fights, the last four months, we prepared only for southpaws.

 

“I’m ready for the best Stevenson.

 

“My camp went well. Sparring was great. It’s my second full camp with Virgil Hunter and we’ve improved a lot since the first fight.

 

“I can’t make the same mistakes I did in our first fight. I must fight much smarter.

 

“Stevenson only has a good left hand. He’s the champ and he’s a good fighter, but his boxing isn’t amazing. He’s not easy, but he only has basic boxing skills. We must cut his left hand and be ready to throw my right. We need to control him.

 

“I must start good in the first round and let him know that I’m here to win the fight. And I’ll be the new champion.

 

“I’m always a fighter that goes forward and pushes guys back, but I am now ready to fight backwards if I need to. I’ll show the best Andrzej Fonfara this time.

 

“I’m going to win the fight. A world title is the only thing I’ve never had. I’ve imagined raising my hand after the fight and becoming the new WBC champion.”

 

“I’m ready to take the title. My time has come.

 

“I’m ready to be the new world champion and I’ll do that Sábado noite. He wants the KO, and I want the KO, muito.

 

“I respect him because he’s the champ. I came here to show that, desta vez, I’m the better fighter.”

 

ELEIDER ALVAREZ

“He has a lot of experience, but experience can be negative sometimes. Ele é experiente, but he has negative experiences and losses, muito. I don’t think it will be a factor Sábado noite.

 

“My style will be an advantage. I’m taller, I have a longer reach, and a better jab. My footwork is better, muito. So I think my style is my advantage.

 

“I’m fully ready for my title shot. I’ve been ready for 18 meses, but for some reason it didn’t happen. I’m ready to face everybody. I’m probably in the toughest division in boxing right now, but once Stevenson comes I’ll be ready.

 

“I didn’t wait 18 months to become a world champion for nothing. I won’t give a victory to Pascal. I’ve waited for 18 months for my chance and I won’t give it to Pascal.

 

“Sparring with him (Pascal) is an advantage, but it was a long time ago and now he’s changed teams. So I don’t know what he’s done in his training camp this time.

 

“Marc (Ramsay) taught me some tricks, but I already know Jean Pascal because I trained with him and sparred with him for a while. It’s an advantage to have Marc, but it can be different and you never know what he’ll bring to the ring this time around.”

 

JEAN PASCAL

“Winning is the only option for me.

 

“I’ve been in some battles, but my tank is still full.

 

“I’ve faced way better opposition than him. Eu estive lá, done that on the big stage. This is a big, big fight, and I’ve been here before. That’s the thing with experience – you can’t buy experience. You have to live it, and I’ve lived it many times. I’m ready to be on the big stage once again.

 

“Training camp went really well. I was with Roy Jones Jr. and Stephane Larouche and we stayed in Montreal for the whole camp. We had no injuries and we’re ready to go no sábado.

 

“Sparring with Alvarez isn’t really an advantage for me. The last time we sparred was like two or three years ago. Eu o conheço, but he knows me also. I actually have two strikes against me – he knows me well, but his coach knows me by heart because he’s my former coach. But none of that matters. I’ve done my homework and I know what to do in the ring.

 

“Right now my focus is on Alvarez. After the referee raises my hand and we’ll see what’s next.”

This is only her third pro bout, and she is fighting for the WBC Silver title on Junho 16. We are witnessing something very special here and it’s very ironic that it’s all taking place close to Detroit, which is fighting back for its own recognition again as one of Americas Greatest cities.”

Here is what Escandon had to say from Las Vegas before he wraps camp and heads east to headline at MGM National Harbor in Maryland:
On his recent training camp:
“Training camp started off in Gilroy, California where we got a lot of good sparring in the Bay Area. But then we moved camp to Las Vegas where we are training in high elevation. We are running up at Mt. Charleston where the elevation is 8400 feet. Contudo, it has been a fantastic camp.”
On fighting in his first main event on SHOWTIME:
“It’s a dream come true to be fighting on SHOWTIME, especially in the main event for a world title. I believe the fans watching will enjoy my fighting style. I always bring excitement to the ring. This will be a fan-friendly fight to watch.”
On facing his opponent, champion Gary Russell Jr:
“Gary Russell Jr.. is one of the best fighters in the division. I know it’s not going to be an easy task to defeat him but I’m confident in my ability to come out victorious. I will dig deep and impose my will on him.”
On training with head coach Ruben Guerrero:
“Together Ruben and I get along very well. He’s always there for me when I need him. We are doing everything to get better and we’ll be ready to go. We have a nice game plan that we will display on fight night.”
On what a victory will do for his career:
“This is the biggest fight of my career and a win will lead to bigger and better things, like unification bouts. To capture the WBC world title will be an honor for my team and my people of Colombia. I need to win this fight and capture that WBC title. I can see myself in major fights with a victory.”

Two-Time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Shields to Face Dominican’s Mery Rancier for WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship at Salita Promotions’ Detroit Brawl on Friday, Junho 16, at Masonic Temple in Detroit

Promoter Dmitriy Salita is proud to announce he will feature two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, and now Women’s NABF Middleweight Champion, Claressa “T-Rex” Shields of Flint, Michigan, in the main event of his next “Detroit Brawl” em Sexta-feira, Junho 16, 2017.
Shields (2-0, 1 KO) will face tough veteran Mery Rancier (7-8-3, 5 KOs) de Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic for the WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship. Em sua última luta, Rancier went the distance with 16-0 multiple-time world champion, and current WBC Super Middleweight Champion, Nikki Adler of Germany.
Once again sponsored by the Greektown Casino Hotel, bilhetes para “Detroit Brawl” are priced at VIP $200, Box Seats are $100 e $55, Seating is $40, and are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.com
.
22-year-old Shields went 77-1 as an amateur and won her first Olympic Gold at the inaugural women’s Olympic boxing championships, held in London in 2012. She then successfully defended her title at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
Shields turned professional in late 2016 and made history again in her last fight, when she appeared live on SHOWTIME’s popular ShoBox: A Nova Geração em Março 10 deste ano. By knocking out Hungary’s Szilvia Szabados in four impressive rounds, Shields became the first woman to ever headline a boxing event on premium cable.
“I’m looking forward to June 16 and my first eight-round fight, as I continue to reach higher on the road to the biggest fights and the continued rise of women’s boxing,” disse Shields. “I can’t wait to get back in the ring and give my fans in Detroit and around the world another great night of boxing!”
Shields manager, Mark Taffet, echoes his fighter’s excitement over another fistic homecoming. “We are very excited to be returning to Detroit on Junho 16 for the next chapter in Claressa Shields’ road to women’s boxing history. Claressa will be in great shape as always, and looks to give her fans a night to remember.”
Promoter Dmitriy Salita, who promoted Shields’ history-making battle with Szabados, says he’s happy to be featuring the budding superstar on another of his very popular shows in Motown.
“Claressa is an American hero from Flint, Michigan,” Disse Palavra, “and for people around the world. Like with all her fights, fans attending this event will witness a part of history live on Junho 16.”
Another Detroit boxing great is also excited about Shields’ future in the sport.
“I think Claressa Shields has the ability to be a great fighter,” said Thomas “Sicário” Hearns. “She is bringing back the style, excitement and energy that fans around the world want to see!”
