SHAWNEE, Okla. (September 22, 2018) – O’Shaquie Foster upset previously undefeated Jon Fernandez in a battle of ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie veterane, scoring an impressive unanimous decision victory over the highly regarded prospect Friday on SHOWTIME from Firelake Arena. HOOGTEPUNTE VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2OI0NUp

 

 

 

Fernandez (16-1, 14 Uitklophoue), a protégé of former unified world champion Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez, is die 180ste fighter in the history of the ShoBox series to lose his undefeated record after three other previously undefeated fighters dropped decisions on Friday.

 

 

 

The 25-year-old Foster (14-2, 8 Uitklophoue), a resident of Houston, executed his team’s game plan to perfection, utilizing superb movement and connecting opportunistically with counter shots. Foster was far sharper on both offense and defense, verbinding op 36 percent of his total punches compared to just 16 percent for Fernandez.

 

 

 

Fernandez was frustrated by Foster, a crafty and experienced fighter who was one win away from representing the United States in the 2012 Olimpiese Spele. In his previous six bouts, Fernandez averaged 8.4 jab connects per round but was limited to just 13 jabs in tonight’s entire 10-round fight.

 

 

 

“This was the best fight of my career,” said Foster, who was appearing on the ShoBox series for the fourth time. “I knew I had it in me, I just never put it together. I have a new team, I have a new trainer, a new strength and conditioning coach. This was what I dreamed of and we put in the work to make it happen.

 

 

 

“I knew he was a puncher and he’d come forward the whole fight. I knew I had to work off my jab and use my lateral movement. He had a little power, but he never got me clean. We’re going to sit down and look at the drawing board. I can tell you this, we’re not the B-side anymore.”

 

 

 

Fernandez improved throughout the second half of the fight, landing a big right hand in the sixth round that briefly wobbled Foster. Egter, the Spaniard was unable to extend his impressive KO streak of 14 consecutive fights.

 

 

 

“His style was frustrating, but we were expecting it,” said the 23-year-old Fernandez, who was widely regarded as one of the top prospects in boxing. “We thought his conditioning would go down and he’d slow down in the later rounds. He didn’t (slow down) and that surprised me.

 

 

 

 

 

“I feel like we can still get better and better. We just had a bad game plan for this fight.”

 

 

 

Irvin Gonzalez Jr. (11-0, 9 Uitklophoue) out-boxed Carlos Ramos (9-1, 6 Uitklophoue) from start to finish to score a unanimous decision victory in the co-featured bout of tonight’s ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie uitsending. The judges scored the fight 79-73, 78-74, 80-72. Gonzalez, who was the more active and aggressive fighter, kept his unbeaten record intact despite facing a frustrating and defensively shrewd opponent in Ramos.

 

 

 

“It took me a few rounds to figure him out, but once I did he didn’t have anything on me,"Sê Gonzalez. “He only had the left hand and that was about it. He really didn’t throw any punches.

 

 

 

“This was a big learning experience for me. This was my second eight-rounder and it opened my eyes a little bit. I know I’m conditioned well but I have to go back to work.”

 

 

 

The 22-year-old Gonzalez, a fourth-generation boxer in his family and native of Worcester, Massa., outhustled the skillful southpaw Ramos, who was not nearly active enough throughout the eight rounds. The longer, leaner Gonzalez, who averaged 58 punches per round to Ramos’ 28, relied on his length advantage and fought at range.

 

 

 

The tentative and defensive Ramos, Aan die ander kant, landed only 27 punches in the remaining seven rounds after landing 11 in die openingsronde. Gonzalez, for his part, exceed 50 punches in all but the third round.

 

 

 

In the second bout of the quadrupleheader, Philadelphia’s Steven Ortiz (9-0, 3 Uitklophoue) edged Brooklyn’s Wesley Ferrer (12-1-1, 7 Uitklophoue) in an evenly-matched and difficult-to-score matchup of undefeated prospects. The two fighters were separated by no more than five total punches in each round of the majority decision, wat behaal 78-74, 77-75, 76-76.

 

 

 

Both fighters fought at a deliberate pace, but neither was able to find their rhythm and consistently land combinations. Ortiz started stronger, but Ferrer grew into the fight and was the busier fighter in the middle rounds. The final two rounds were the deciding factor in the fight. The two judges who had Ortiz winning on their scorecards favored Ortiz in rounds seven and eight.

 

 

 

“I think it was a pretty close fight,” said a disappointed Ferrer. “I thought I was winning the first few rounds, but I know I got out-worked in the last two rounds. Aan die einde van die dag, the judges saw something else and he got the win. If I won the last few rounds I would have won the fight.”

 

 

 

Ortiz, who held a narrow 127-115 advantage in total punches landed and a 99-93 advantage in power punches landed, felt he did enough to win but was not completely satisfied with his performance.

 

 

 

“I was coming off a long layoff and wasn’t as sharp as I should have been,” said the 25-year-old Ortiz. “I landed the sharper jabs and landed the harder shots. I think my ring experience and ring generalship was the difference in the fight.

 

 

 

“I want to come back a lot sharper and a lot smarter. Aan die einde van die dag, it was a learning experience. I got the win against a tough guy.”

 

 

 

In die uitsending opener, Denver’s Misael Lopez (9-0, 4 Uitklophoue) got the better of Staten Island’s James Wilkins (5-1, 5 Uitklophoue) in a battle of young, previously undefeated super featherweight prospects, tallying a unanimous decision victory (79-72, 77-74, 76-75).

 

 

 

The action-packed fight saw both fighters come out swinging, setting the tempo for the rest of the eight-round bout which saw a total of 1,320 punches thrown. Wilkins brought the pressure to Lopez throughout, but Lopez’s volume of punches, movement and combinations enabled him to control most of the rounds. Lopez’s conditioning proved key. In the final four rounds, Lopez led 139-68 in total connects and landed 213 power punches to just 115 for Wilkins throughout the duration of the eight rounds.

 

 

 

Wilkins, who was featured on the SHOWTIME documentary CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS that premiered immediately preceding tonight’s ShoBox uitsending, was deducted a point for a low blow in the fifth round after several warnings. In the seventh round, Wilkins appeared to score a knockdown when he connected with a strong right hand that knocked Lopez off-balance, but referee Mike England ruled that Lopez’s right hand did not touch the mat.

 

 

 

“I think the difference was I was able to make him miss, land the cleaner shots and used my boxing to dictate the pace,” said the 22-year-old Lopez. “I’m looking to keep going and stay on the big stage. Hopefully people and promoters will notice that I’m the real deal.”

 

 

 

In his national television debut, the ever-confident Wilkins felt wronged by the judges’ scorecards and the referee’s apparent missed knockdown in the seventh.

 

 

 

“I think I did enough to pull it off,” said Wilkins. “I could see a split decision, Miskien, but I dropped him and that wins the fight. That was a 10-8 ronde. I want to go back to the gym, work hard and get right back. You haven’t seen the last of me.”

 

 

 

Tonight’s quadrupleheader was presented by DiBella Entertainment in association with MaravillaBox Promotions, Holden Productions and The Real Deal Boxing, and sponsored by Gagliardi Insurance.

 

 

 

Die volledige uitsending speel Maandag weer af, September 24 by 10 namiddag. ET / PT op SHOWTIME EXTREME en sal te alle tye beskikbaar wees op SHOWTIME® en SHOWTIME op DEMAND®.

FINALE KWOTASIES:

 

JON FERNANDEZ:

“I think I’m ready for a title fight now. I think that we’ve been doing really good work and the time is coming. If I get the opportunity after this fight, Ek sal dit neem. I would fight Tevin Farmer or Ryan Garcia. I’m ready for something bigger.

 

 

 

“Every fight is different. Some fights I need to be really busy and sometimes I need to bring the power. It all depends. I look at myself more as a volume puncher than a power puncher. I like to wear my opponents down round by round.

 

 

 

“I’ve been on SHOWTIME twice and I’ve knocked out both of my opponents. Tomorrow night I will make it three for three.

 

 

 

“I’ve seen a few of Foster’s fights. He’s a fighter that knows how to use his distance and move around a lot. He will be my toughest opponent to date but I’ve fought guys with a similar style before.

 

 

 

“Boxing is gaining popularity all the time in Spain and I hope that my success makes others in Spain want to start boxing.

 

 

 

“I think Foster is going to be faithful to his style and use his distance and move a lot. I’m going to have to attack him and close off the ring. I have to be really intelligent because Foster is a really good counter-puncher and he’s fast. I just have to go to work.”

 

O’SHAQUIE FOSTER:

“My focus has improved since I’ve started working with my trainer, Bobby (Benton). I’ve improved a lot and my consistency is there. I’ve sharpened up and gotten back to the old me. I had strayed from the way I like to fight and now I’m back to the real O’Shaquie.

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME hasn’t seen the best of me yet. I wasn’t focused my last few fights and I had some bad performances on ShoBox. I’ve gotten all of my demons and bad activities out and now I’m one hundred percent focused on my boxing. I know that once I’m focused, nobody can beat me.

 

 

 

“Fernandez is making a big mistake taking this fight. I’ve never had trouble fighting against tall guys. I just have to use a lot of feints and a lot of movement and I don’t see him troubling me.

 

 

 

“I feel like I have a good team in place. I’ve gotten older, I’ve matured, and I’m as focused as I have ever been. I’ve been in the gym consistently for the last year. After my last fight, I took a few days off and was right back in the gym. This is my fourth fight in less than a year and I’m coming off one of my best performances.

 

 

 

“I made some mistakes away from the ring. I had to pull myself out of it and I wasn’t going to allow my talent to go to waste. This is a big fight for me and I have to prove that I still have a great future in boxing.”

 

IRVIN GONZALEZ JR.:

“Coming out of the amateurs, I knew I was going to make my mark in due time. I didn’t know if it would be this quickly. This is the whole goal. This is my first time on TV and I want to show my talent.

 

 

 

“Ramos knows how to box, he knows how to go in and out and use his angles, but I do see a lot of things that I can capitalize on. He does hold his right hand down low, and he likes to come over the top with an overhand left hand. He likes to stay out there, and he can get caught when he stays out there. I’m going to show him in the ring what he needs to work on in his craft.

 

 

 

“Ek kan boks, but I can also sit down on my punches and fight inside. I like to pick out my punches. It’s not like I’m going in there for the kill – if the kill comes, the kill comes – but I’m picking out my punches. If it comes with a knockout, it comes with the knockout.

 

 

 

“This is the toughest guy I’ve been in with as a pro. We know he’s lefty, we know he’s a pretty hard hitter. That’s pretty much all we know.

 

 

 

“I switch without even realizing, so fighting a southpaw won’t be a problem. I’m just so comfortable with it that it comes as second nature.”

 

CARLOS RAMOS:

“I’ve sparred hundreds of rounds with Jon Fernandez. I’m a very different fighter than JonFer. He’s a more come-forward fighter who attacks and tries to cut off the ring. I’m more of a technical boxer that tries to use the jab a lot.

 

 

 

“My style will all depend on how the fight flows. We have a plan to fight Irvin Gonzalez and we think it will be very effective tomorrow night.

 

 

 

“This is a good fight for my career and the type of fight that motivates me. I’m very excited for this opportunity and excited to be here in the United States. I think this will open up many bigger opportunities for me.”

 

WESLEY FERRER:

“I’ve stayed busy in the gym since my last fight. I was in training camp with Robert Easter not too long ago. I had some ring rust in my last fight because of the layoff but that won’t be an issue this time.

 

 

 

“This is a big fight for my career. This is what’s going to get me to the next step in my career. I’m excited to show everybody who the real Wesley is.

 

 

 

“I can box, I can counter. It all depends on how I feel. If I put my mind on being a brawler, I can do that. If I put my mind to boxing, I can do that. It all depends on my opponent and what the fight plan is. We have a good fight plan for tomorrow night.

 

 

 

“Switching up my stance is something that I can do and something that I’ve been working on. Sometimes I do it without even thinking about it, and in my last fight I was more effective as a southpaw. It’s all about understanding when is the right time to do it.

 

 

 

“My preparation for this fight has been perfect. I have absolutely no issues and you guys will all see the best Wesley Ferrer.”

 

STEVEN ORTIZ:

“I feel good, Ek is gereed om te gaan. I don’t know much about Ferrer. I know sometimes he switches to southpaw but we’re just going to adapt to whatever he brings to the table.

 

 

 

“I’ve sparred hundreds of rounds with Tevin Farmer. If I can hit him, I feel like I can hit anybody. That gives me the confidence to face a guy like Ferrer.

 

 

 

“I use my height to my advantage but I’m also learning to fight on the inside. I like to bang, but boxing comes naturally to me. Working with guys like Tevin makes these other fights easy.

 

 

 

“I’m going to be smart, stay patient, use my jab. But if an opening comes I’m going to take advantage of it and try to hurt him. As long as I stay focused and disciplined this will be easy work.

 

 

 

“This is my first time fighting on live TV, this is a great opportunity for me and an experience I’m looking forward to. I just have to take it round by round.

 

 

 

“It’s about being more focused. My mindset before was never, ‘I want to knock them out’. Nou, that’s a priority for me. I want to hurt them.”

 

JAMES WILKINS:

“When I touch him, I promise you I’m going to knock him out. I’ve been under his skin for six weeks. Now that the fight isn’t in his hometown he’s scared to look me in the eyes.

 

 

 

“He’s definitely my toughest (opponent). Hy is jong, he’s undefeated. He’s been hyped up in Denver. Maar, if you ask me, I don’t think nothing of him. Denver is not Brooklyn.

 

 

“I’m bigger, Ek is slimmer, I’m faster. Everyone I fought hasn’t been stopped until I stopped them. I haven’t fought a 130-pounder yet and now that I am, this fight isn’t going past three rounds.

 

 

 

“I want to be in the top 10. I want to be a rising star. I want to be a world champ by the end of 2020. But I had to take a different route than other fighters. I have my goals and this is the next step. I’m kicking this door down.

 

 

 

“I’m different than a lot of young fighters. My boxing IQ after working with Roy (Jones) is through the roof. I had a good camp. I’m prepared and ready to live my dream and become a star.

 

 

 

“I’ve been working three times a day in the gym. I didn’t fight guys with losing records because I was hand-picking guys. I fought them because I wasn’t given an opportunity.”

MISAEL LOPEZ:

“At first Wilkins got under my skin a little bit on social media, but we blocked it out. He’s a hot head. I think within the first few rounds he’ll come out wild and he’ll be easy for me to counter. It’s going to work against him.

 

 

 

“He’s never been three rounds, but more importantly he’s never fought a guy with a winning record.

 

 

 

“I’ve seen guys who come out aggressive. I just need to catch him, slow him down and he’ll be out.

 

 

 

“No disrespect to him. He’s a great boxer, he had a great amateur career. But this is our opportunity to take the next step.

 

 

 

“I’ve gotten a lot smarter in each fight. I’ve learned to settle down and pick my shots. I can adapt to any style. I’ve had fights where I’ve had to brawl, I’ve had fights I had to box.

 

 

 

“We sparred with Shakur Stevenson and got some solid rounds with him for this fight.”

JON FERNANDEZ vs. O’SHAQUIE FOSTER – 10-Round Super Featherweight Bout

Fernandez, the protégé of former unified middleweight world champion Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez, scored two sensational knockouts on ShoBox in 2017, stopping Ernesto Garza in the third round and knocking out Juan Reyes with a highlight-reel right hook. VIDEO: https://youtu.be/IC2HRJqxa-Q

 

 

 

Making a name for himself as one of the best prospects in the sport, “Jonfer” has knocked out 14 consecutive opponents. The 5’11” Spaniard, who holds an 88 percent knockout ratio, is traveling to the U.S. for the fourth time with an eye on a statement victory.

 

 

 

“O’Shaquie Foster is a very good fighter and although he was the underdog he put on a great performance by beating Frankie Alba in his last fight,” Fernandez said. “This is a big fight for both of us. I’m grateful to Lou DiBella for this opportunity to again show why I’m one of the best prospects in boxing.”

 

 

 

Fernandez, ranked WBC No. 10 by 130 pond, won the vacant WBC Youth World Super Featherweight Title in 2016 and the vacant WBC Silver Super Featherweight Title in 2017. The former amateur standout, who landed on the ESPN Top Prospects of 2017 list, is currently trained by Tinín Rodríguez in Madrid.

 

 

 

O'Shaquie Foster, van Oranje, Texas, is making his fourth appearance on ShoBox, last appearing on the series in July 2016. Since falling to Rolando Chinea in a close split-decision in that ShoBox voorkoms, Foster has bounced back with three consecutive victories, including a majority-decision victory over veteran Frank De Alba last time out in April.

 

 

 

“This is a great opportunity for me,” said Foster. “I know how good Fernandez is and how well thought of he is, but once we get in the ring, I’ll show the world that I’m a future world champion. I’ve been in training and will be ready for victory on September 21.”

 

 

 

A highly decorated amateur standout who compiled a record of 162-18, the 24-year-old Foster advanced to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials where he lost to once-beaten professional prospect, Joseph “Jo-Jo” Diaz. Voor dit, Foster was a 2010 PAL Nasionale Kampioen, a five-time Ringside National Champion and two-time National Junior Golden Gloves Champion.

 

IRVIN GONZALEZ JR. vs. CARLOS RAMOS – Eight-Round Featherweight Bout

A 22-year-old from Worcester, Massa., Gonzalez turned pro in 2016 after a standout amateur career where he compiled a 90-15 rekord. Hy was 'n 2015 New England Golden Gloves champion and qualified for the 2016 Olimpiese proewe.

 

 

 

Gonzalez, who will be making his ShoBox debuut, has knocked out all but one of his professional opponents. He scored an impressive unanimous decision victory over Raul Lopez and a body shot knockout of previously undefeated Marlon Olea in back-to-back bouts in 2017.

 

 

 

“This is an opportunity to show the world what I’ve been working my whole life for,” Gonzalez said. “With hard work anything is possible and I will show on September 21 that I have what it takes to become a world champion. This is just the next step for me. I’m entering and leaving the ring with an undefeated record.”

“I’m excited to fight in America for the first time and face Irvin Gonzalez,” said Ramos. “I know he’s a big puncher and has a lot of knockouts but all the great sparring I’ve had has built my confidence for a fight like this. I’m sharper than ever and ready to hand him his first loss.”

NEW ENGLAND STRONG
RESULTS FROM FOXWOODS

MASHANTUCKET, CT (September 2, 2016) – New England boxers dominated last night’s Broadway Boxing, presented by DiBella Entertainment and sponsored by Nissan of Queens, Optyx, Azad Watches and Christos Steak House, held in the Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
Rhode Island lightweight “Nice” Nick DeLomba (11-1, 2 Uitklophoue) outboxed and outpunched former Florida State Golden Gloves champion Amos “2 Smooth” Cowart (11-2-1, 9 Uitklophoue) for an upset victory by way of an eight-round unanimous decision.
DeLomba, who was one of five winning New Englanders without a loss, took the fight to Cowart, beating him to the punch and effectively counterpunching. Cowart was unable to contain DeLomba’s side-to-side movement or his flurries of punches in the main event.
“Everybody looks at me and thinks they’re going to attack my body,” an ecstatic DeLomba said after the fight. “Nobody moves as smooth as me and I’m going to keep doing it.”
Nick DeLomba (R) outworked Cowart
In die mede-funksie, New Mexico super featherweight Jose “Shorty” Salinas (10-2-1, 5 Uitklophoue) stood tall, stunning Albania native Dardan Zenunaj (12-2, 9 Uitklophoue), who is trained byRobert Garcia. Now fighting out of Belgium, Zenunaj couldn’t put Salinas away early and he paid for that in the later rounds. Bloodied and bruised, Salinas refused to stop throwing punches, and his huge heart resulted in an eight-round unanimous decision victory.
Jose Salinas pulled off a stunner
Undefeated Spaniard Jon “Jonfer” Fernandez (9-0, 7 Uitklophoue) used a tremendous height and reach advantage to pound his tough Mexican opponent Naciff “Chata” Castle (17-9-2, 5 Uitklophoue) tot skeidsregter Joey Lupino halted the action midway through the fifth round. Fernandez recently signed a promotional contract with DiBella Entertainment and legendary boxer Sergio Martinez.
Jon Fernandez (R) unloaded on Naciff Castillo
Brooklyn lightweight Wesley Ferrer (12-0, 6 Uitklophoue), 'n 2013 New York City Golden Gloves champion, kept his undefeated record intact by outclassing a game Angel Figueroa (4-4-1). Referee Arthur Mercante stopped the fight 20 seconds into the seventh round.
Wesley Ferrer (L) was simply too much for Angel Figueroa
Sensational high school senior “Wonderlike” Mykey Williams (4-0, 2 Uitklophoue) unloaded a three-punch combination that knocked out David Nelson (3-6, 1 KO) net 24 sekondes in die eerste ronde. The 18-year-old Williams, fighting out of East Hartford, is rapidly developing into a rising star.
Mykey Williams ended the show early
Worcester, MA veergewig Irvin Gonzalez (2-0, 2 Uitklophoue) needed only two minutes to knock out Juan Muniz (0-5). The 20-year-old Gonzalez, whose pro debut also ended spectacularly in the opening round, exploded with a barrage of punches until referee Mercante stepped in to save the Texan from additional damage.
Irvin Gonzalez (R) is 'n belowende vooruitsig
In an action-packed match between a pair of pro debut fighters, East Hartford welterweight Anthony Laureano (1-0) emerged with a hard-fought win by four-round majority decision over Philadelphia’s Nahir Albright (0-1). The 21-year-old Laureano was a 2016 New England Golden Gloves-kampioen.
Anthony Laureano (R) and Nahir Albright went to war
Fan gunsteling Jonathan “Smooth” Figueroa (1-0, 1 KO), fighting out of nearby Hartford, turned in an impressive performance in his professional debut, finishing off Philadelphia welterweight Demetris Williams (0-2) in die vierde ronde. Figueroa, 'n 2012 Southern New England Golden Gloves champion, wore down Williams and ended things with a powerful right hand.

PROGRAMS (16-0, 13 Uitklophoue) is verbind op 'n meer as 5-1 koers die laaste drie rondes van die stryd voor Ramos hoek gevra skeidsregter Laurence Cole om die stryd te stop.

 

Met die verlies - en die vorige resultate in die quadrupleheader - Ramos is die 139stevegter sy eerste verlies op die vooruitsig ontwikkelings reeks ly.

 

Prograis was the more aggressive and effective fighter from the outset. Hy beland 53 persent van sy krag skote in vergelyking met net 28 persent vir Ramos, terwyl gooi meer as 250 meer totale stoot.

 

Ramos (14-1-2, 9 Uitklophoue) simply couldn’t deal with Prograis’ speed and movement. At the finish, Hy was 'n bloedige gemors van 'n sny rondom sy linkeroog en 'n sny op die top van sy kop en het geen antwoord vir die aanslag van die stoot van sy onoorwonne opponent.

 

"Dit was 'n ongelooflike stryd,” Prograis said. “It was really, baie moeilike en ek het nie gedink ek gaan om hom te stop, but I did. We stuck to the game plan and I am happy.

 

“He was really messed up. I don’t like to talk bad about my opponents, maar ek hom beslis seer en dink dat miskien moet hulle het dit gestop vroeër. Jy het nog nooit aan enigiemand seermaak dat slegte waar dit hulle kan beïnvloed in die lang termyn. "

 

Na afloop van die stryd, Ramos het gekla dat hy nie weer dieselfde wees na die toevallige hoof boude in die vyfde dat die onbeheerst cut geopen op die top van sy kop.

 

Laat-vervanging Dardan Zenunaj oorhandig voorheen onoorwonne liggewig vooruitsig Bryant Cruz die eerste verlies van sy loopbaan ná Cruz 'n afrigter Ronnie Shields called an end to the fight after the seventh round. Zenunaj was ahead 67-64 op telkaarte die drie beoordelaars se ná die sewende.

 

Cruz was die meer aktiewe vegter, gooi 754 stoot deur sewe rondes in vergelyking met net 555 vir Zenunaj, maar dit was duidelik dat Zenunaj die meer kragtige skote is landing.

 

Zenunaj (11-1, 9 Uitklophoue) knocked Cruz down midway through the fourth with a wide left hook. Cruz survived the round, but continued to eat a series of big shots to close the round. Cruz bounced back but couldn’t keep Zenunaj from picking his shots and landing damaging power punches. Zenunaj floored Cruz again with another strong blow in the final seconds of the seventh, Cruz klop die telling, maar Shields het genoeg gesien en gestop die stryd wanneer Cruz (16-1, 8 Uitklophoue) terug na die hoek.

 

Zenunaj uit geland-Cruz 40-24 in die sewende, die enigste keer in die stryd wat hy gooi-en buite-geland Cruz.

 

"Ek wou dit 'n oorlog vir al die mense kyk en ek het dit, so ek voel regtig goed,” Zenunaj said. “He is really good, much stronger than I believed he would be. He hung in there, maar ek het die werk en ek het.

 

"Vandag was my eerste stryd in die U.S. en dit sal nie die laaste wees. Volgende jaar gaan 'n groot jaar wees vir my. "

 

Na afloop van die stryd, Cruz het nie enige verskonings maak vir die teleurstellende vertoning.

 

“I came in really confident that I was going to win. I had almost seven weeks of training and this guy took the fight on a week’s notice.

 

"Ek het gekom in denke ek gaan om te wen, maar dit het nie my pad gaan. He was a tough opponent. He came forward and hit me with some really awkward shots. He’s an awkward fighter and he hit me with different angles I hadn’t seen before. Hy het my verras, maar dit is die manier waarop die boks is so ek kan nie regtig te ontsteld met myself deur hierdie verlies wees. Ek sal terug kom sterker.

 

“I did everything I could and gave it my all. I tried to listen to the punch list from my coach, maar hy het net uit hustled-my en ek gee hom al die respek vir wat. "

 

In 'n matchup van middelgewigtitel vooruitsigte, Steve Rolls behaal 'n indrukwekkende vierde ronde TKO oor voorheen onoorwonne Steed Woodall. VIDEO HIGHLIGHT:http://s.sho.com/1O1bf7g

 

Na twee rondes naby, Woodall knocked Rolls down midway through the third. While Rolls complained it was a slip, Woodall came out blazing after the count and legitimately hurt Rolls in the final minute of the round. Rolls (13-0, 7 Uitklophoue) kom terug met 'n wraak in die vierde, landing nearly a dozen big right hands. With Woodall wobbling around the ring with his guard down, skeidsregter Laurence Cole ingegryp om die wedstryd te stop 2:46 van die ronde.

 

"Ek is bereid om te doen wat ek hier aangekom het om te doen,"Het Rolls, wat geland 41 persent van sy krag skote. “I didn’t agree with the knockdown, maar dit is die aard van die boks. Dat die soort dinge gaan gebeur en jy net nodig het om jouself af te haal, jouself in te samel en veg.

 

"Ek gaan 'n bietjie rus en regtig net geniet dit en ontspan."

 

Woodall (8-1-1, 5 Uitklophoue) gekla dat die oponthoud was voortydig.

 

"Ek het nie eens met die oponthoud,” Woodall said. “I was caught on my ear so that threw off my balance a little bit, but I was totally fine. I’m wise enough to take a knee if I wasn’t able to continue, but that wasn’t the case. I definitely feel that was a premature stoppage but I’m not a sore loser.

 

"Nou is dit terug na die tekenbord. I need to sit down with my manager and get back to training camp. I know it’s soon to say this after the fact, but I’ll definitely be looking for the rematch at some point. Maar, vir nou, is dit terug na die tekenbord. "

 

In die opening bout van die beeldsending, Ivan Baranchyk (9-0, 8 Uitklophoue) uitgeslaan voorheen onoorwonne Shadi Shehadeh (9-1-2, 5 Uitklophoue) met 'n bestendige dieet van krag skote op 2:28 van die eerste ronde.

“I was so excited. When I was very young I dreamed that one day I would be champion, and now I have that opportunity. Thank you to the champ for giving me the chance. But you don’t see what you’re doing. This is no joke. This is no (vloekwoord) grap.

 

“This is very important for Polish fans. This is when I change my story, my lewe verander, change what people think about Polish people here. Polish people have heart, we have everything. And now I must show everyone what I want. I am so confident, you will see. Ek kan nie wag.

 

"Luister, I don’t care what everyone thinks. I care what my team thinks. I care what my family, my mense dink.

Steed WOODALL:

"Ons het al saam met Ronnie Shields vir sowat vyf maande, sparring with Jermall Charlo and Edwin Rodriguez. Having those guys around is a great experience. I’m always in competition with them, myself stoot die limiet en leer van hulle.

"Ek laat my opleiers kyk hoe die stryd beeldmateriaal en ek sien net wat ek nodig het om te sien. Ek is mal om te kapitaliseer op foute my opponent se.

 

"Ek voel beter as ooit. Gedurende hardloop en opleiding voel ek baie beter as toe ek in my twintigs. Ongeag van my ouderdom, Ek voel steeds dat ek nie eens bereik my eerste.

Prograis vs. Ramos

Laaste Augustus. 7, Prograis het sy ShoBox debuut met 'n indrukwekkende agt-ronde besluit oor destydse onoorwonne Amos Cowart. Die hard-hitting Prograis geland 'n indrukwekkende 381 uit 909 totale stoot gegooi, die 18ste-hoogste Connect totale vir 'n junior weltergewig stryd getel deur CompuBox oor agt rondes.

 

Oorspronklik van New Orleans, Prograis en sy gesin het Houston huis sedert verskuif na die orkaan Katrina genoem. Die bout op Desember. 11 Prograis se eerste in Houston sedert Junie sal wees 2014 en hy verwag om 'n hees skare trek. Die hoog aangeskrewe Prograis het geweldige krag en spoed, maar as hy gaan om te kompeteer teen die elite van die 140-pond-afdeling, Hy moet eers deur Ramos.

 

"Ek wil die stede van New Orleans en Houston dankie — New Orleans vir die maak van my wie ek is en Houston vir die neem van my en maak my tuis voel,” Prograis said. “I am glad to be fighting back in Houston; dit is waarlik my tweede huis. The city took me in as one of their own after I moved here during Hurricane Katrina. Houston is close enough to New Orleans and I am expecting a great turnout come fight night. My opponent is undefeated and that’s all I need to know. He’s coming to win, and I am sure he will be tough. I am preparing for this fight just like I do all of my fights, with the mindset that this is the toughest fight I will ever have. Soos Desember. 11, jy sal 'n skouspelagtige vertoning te sien. "

 

Soos Prograis, die 24-jarige Ramos was 'n ster amateur, wen die brons medalje by die 2010 U.S. Boxing National Championships before turning pro the following year. Ramos ran his record to a perfect 8-0, en dan ontmoet mede onoorwonne vooruitsig Maurice Hooker (tans gegradeer Geen. 10 deur die WBO) opShoBox in Januarie 2014. Ramos and Hooker slugged it out for eight rounds, sukkel om 'n meerderheid trekking in een van die mees opwindende gevegte op ShoBox daardie jaar.

The bout against Prograis will be his first since signing an exclusive promotional agreement with DiBella Entertainment.

Right now though, al my fokus is opDesember. 11 and Regis Prograis. He is unbeaten just like me. I am sure he will be my toughest fight, just as I will be his. I am ready to rise to the occasion and show the boxing world I am one of the best in the division.’’

 

Cruz vs. Ferrer

Baranchyk vs. Ruiz

Prospects Baranchyk and Ruiz could produce “the fight of the night” in a matchup that has the makings of a slugfest. The Ukrainian Baranchyk, 22, het indrukwekkende sedert sy aankoms in die U.S. in 2014. He’s been on a tear this year, gaan 5-0 met vyf uitklophoue, all coming in three rounds or less.

"Ek kon nie meer opgewonde oor hierdie geleentheid wees,"Baranchyk Mackenzie. "Ek is op soek om te volg in die voetspore van my stalmaats Sergiy en Ievgen, wat 'n paar van hul beste vertonings gehad het ShoBox. I know that Ruiz is coming to fight, en hy gaan na die taaiste teenstander in die gesig gestaar word Ek het, maar my droom is om 'n wêreldkampioen geword en daar is niks en niemand wat gaan in die pad van daardie te kry. "
