SHAWNEE, Okla.

Esto en vídeo: https://s.sho.com/2OI0NUp

 

 

 

Fernandez (16-1, 14 Kos), a protégé of former unified world champion Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez, tornouse o 180th 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 Kos), 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, conectando en 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 Xogos Olímpicos. 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. Con todo, 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 Kos) out-boxed Carlos Ramos (9-1, 6 Kos) from start to finish to score a unanimous decision victory in the co-featured bout of tonight’s ShoBox: A Nova Xeración televisionar. 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,"Dixo González. “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, De Masa., 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, por outra banda, landed only 27 punches in the remaining seven rounds after landing 11 na rolda de apertura. 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 Kos) edged Brooklyn’s Wesley Ferrer (12-1-1, 7 Kos) 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, que foi marcado 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. Ao final do día, 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. Ao final do día, it was a learning experience. I got the win against a tough guy.”

 

 

 

In the telecast opener, Denver’s Misael Lopez (9-0, 4 Kos) got the better of Staten Island’s James Wilkins (5-1, 5 Kos) 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 televisionar, 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, quizais, but I dropped him and that wins the fight. That was a 10-8 redondo. 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.

 

 

 

The full telecast will replay on Monday, Setembro 24 en 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

Polley was down once in the first and again in the second round which resulted in the stoppage.

 

 

 

Junior Middleweight Dennis Knifechief, of Shawnee, Okla. moved to 12-8-1, 7 KOs with a fourth round TKO (1:51) of the valiant Chris Barnes, (4-8-1, 3 Kos) de Tulsa. Barnes fought on after being dropped in the first and second rounds and twice more in the fourth.

Citas Finais:

 

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, Vou leva-la. 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, Policial (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.

 

 

 

“Podo caixa, 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, Estou preparado para ir. 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’. Agora, 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 (adversario). El é novo, he’s undefeated. He’s been hyped up in Denver. Pero, if you ask me, I don’t think nothing of him. Denver is not Brooklyn.

 

 

“I’m bigger, Eu son máis intelixente, Eu son máis rápido. 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.”

Since falling to Rolando Chinea in a close split-decision in that ShoBox aspecto, 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.”

“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.

“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.”

En decembro 2017, Ferrer, who is trained by his father Mateo De La Cruz, fought to a hotly contested draw with Will Madera in Times Square.

 

 

 

“This is exactly the fight I need against another undefeated prospect so that I can show how good I am,” said Ferrer. “This is my first fight of 2018, my first on ShoBox and hopefully the first of many big wins.”

 

 

 

An accomplished amateur boxer in New York City, Ferrer was a two-time New York Golden

Gloves champion, 2012 New York Amateur Boxing champion and New York City Metro Tournament champion, as well as a participant at the 2013 Luvas de Ouro nacionais.

 

 

 

Steven Ortiz, signed to Evander Holyfield’s The Real Deal Boxing, has made a name for himself in Philadelphia, winning five straight bouts in his hometown. A última vez, Ortiz registered an impressive second round knockout of Joshua Davis, sending his opponent to the canvas three times. Compiling a record of 45-5 como afeccionado, Ortiz is a five-time Pennsylvania Golden Gloves Champion and National Silver Gloves Winner.

 

 

 

“I am excited to show my talents on ShoBox and promise to bring an exciting fight against Wesley Ferrer,” Ortiz said. “The world is going to see the new face of the lightweight division on Sept. 21. I can’t wait to show everyone who Steven Ortiz is.”

NEW ENGLAND STRONG
RESULTS FROM FOXWOODS
(all pictures by Ed Diller/DiBella Entertainment)
Mashantucket, CT (Setembro 2, 2016) – New England boxers dominated last night’s Broadway Boxeo, 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 Kos) outboxed and outpunched former Florida State Golden Gloves champion Amos “2 Smooth” Cowart (11-2-1, 9 Kos) 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
Na co-metragem, New Mexico super featherweight Jose “Shorty” Salinas (10-2-1, 5 Kos) stood tall, stunning Albania native Dardan Zenunaj (12-2, 9 Kos), 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 Kos) used a tremendous height and reach advantage to pound his tough Mexican opponent Naciff “Chata” Castelo (17-9-2, 5 Kos) until referee Joey Lupino halted the action midway through the fifth round. Fernandez recently signed a promotional contract with DiBella Entertainment and legendary boxer Sergio Martínez.
Jon Fernandez (R) unloaded on Naciff Castillo
Brooklyn lightweight Wesley Ferrer (12-0, 6 Kos), un 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 “Marabilloso” Mykey Williams (4-0, 2 Kos) unloaded a three-punch combination that knocked out David Nelson (3-6, 1 KO) só 24 segundos do primeiro round. 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 featherweight Irvin Gonzalez (2-0, 2 Kos) 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 a promising prospect
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 Ouro campión Luvas.
Anthony Laureano (R) and Nahir Albright went to war
Fan favorito 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) na cuarta rolda. Figueroa, un 2012 Southern New England Golden Gloves champion, wore down Williams and ended things with a powerful right hand.

HOUSTON (Decembro. 12, 2015) - Regis Prograis dominado previamente invicto Abel Ramosa camiño dun TKO novena rolda do evento principal ShoBox: A Nova Xeración directo na canle Showtime o venres en Bayou City Center evento en Houston.

 

PROGRAMAS (16-0, 13 Kos) estaba conectando a unha máis que 5-1 avaliaría as tres últimas roldas de loita antes de canto preguntou árbitro Ramos ' Laurence Cole para deter a loita.

 

Coa perda - e os resultados anteriores da quadrupleheader - Ramos tornouse o 139thloitador de sufrir a súa primeira derrota na serie de desenvolvemento perspectiva.

 

Prograis was the more aggressive and effective fighter from the outset. El desembarcou 53 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía en comparación con só 28 Ramos por cento máis que ao xogar 250 máis socos en total.

 

Ramos (14-1-2, 9 Kos) simply couldn’t deal with Prograis’ speed and movement. At the finish, era unha confusión sanguenta dun corte ao redor do seu ollo esquerdo e un corte na parte superior da súa cabeza e non tiña resposta ao ataque de socos do seu opoñente invicto.

 

"Foi unha loita incrible,” Prograis said. “It was really, realmente difícil e eu non creo que eu estaba indo para detelo, 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, pero eu sempre machucá-lo e creo que quizais eles deberían parar antes. Vostede non quere machucar ninguén que mal onde pode afectan-los a longo prazo. "

 

Tras a loita, Ramos reclamou que el non era o mesmo despois da cabeza accidental no quinto que abriu o corte chorro na parte superior da súa cabeza.

 

-Substituição Tardía Dardan Zenunaj entregou leve perspectiva invicto Bryant Cruz a primeira derrota da súa carreira tras train Cruz ' Ronnie Shields called an end to the fight after the seventh round. Zenunaj was ahead 67-64 en scorecards dos tres xuíces tras o sétimo.

 

Cruz foi o loitador máis activo, Throwing 754 socos a través de sete roldas en comparación con só 555 para Zenunaj, pero quedou claro que Zenunaj estaba pousando os tiros máis poderosos.

 

Zenunaj (11-1, 9 Kos) 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 bater a conta, pero Shields vira abondo e parou a loita cando Cruz (16-1, 8 Kos) retorno para o canto.

 

Zenunaj fóra desembarcou Cruz 40-24 na sétima, a única vez na loita que xogou fóra-e-out desembarcou Cruz.

 

"Eu quería que fose unha guerra para todas as persoas a asistir e eu fixen iso, entón estou me sentido realmente bo,” Zenunaj said. “He is really good, much stronger than I believed he would be. He hung in there, pero eu fixen o traballo e eu gañei.

 

"Hoxe foi a miña primeira loita na U.S. e non será a última. O ano que vai ser un gran ano para min ".

 

Tras a loita, Cruz non fixo ningunha desculpas para o desempeño decepcionante.

 

“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.

 

"Eu vin en pensar que eu estaba indo a vencer, pero non do meu xeito. 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. Me pegou de sorpresa, pero esa é a forma que o boxeo é así que eu realmente non pode ser moi chat comigo mesmo por esa perda. Eu vou volver máis forte.

 

“I did everything I could and gave it my all. I tried to listen to the punch list from my coach, pero me empurrou para fóra, e eu darlle todo o respecto por iso ".

Despois de dúas roldas preto, 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 Kos) volveu cunha vinganza no cuarto, landing nearly a dozen big right hands. With Woodall wobbling around the ring with his guard down, árbitro Laurence Cole entrou en escena para deter o concurso en 2:46 da rolda.

 

"Eu estaba preparado para facer o que eu vin facer aquí,"Dixo Rolls, que desembarcou 41 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía. “I didn’t agree with the knockdown, pero esa é a natureza do boxeo. Este tipo de cousas vai ocorrer e só precisa levantarse, recoller-se e loitar.

 

"Vou descansar un pouco e realmente só mergullo-o en e relaxarse."

 

Woodall (8-1-1, 5 Kos) reclamou que a paralización foi prematuro.

 

"Eu non estou de acordo coa paralización,” 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.

 

"Agora que está de volta á prancheta de deseño. 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. Pero, polo de agora, está de volta á prancheta de deseño. "

 

Na loita de a cerimonia de apertura, Ivan Baranchyk (9-0, 8 Kos) bateu a fóra previamente invicto Shadi Shehadeh (9-1-2, 5 Kos) cunha dieta constante de tiros de enerxía no 2:28 da primeira quenda.

 

Canhoto polaco Arthur Pin foi entrevistado polo analista experto ShoBox Steve Farhooddurante Venres transmisión, mentres se prepara para desafiar invicto WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder en Sábado, Xan. 16 na canle Showtime. During the interview, Szpilka advertiu Wilder que está a benvida para sacar o seu cinto:

 

"Artur Szpilka é o futuro campión dos pesos pesados, future Polish champion and a wonderful person. Eu non podo esperar, un. Eu non podo esperar.

 

“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 (expletivo) broma.

 

“This is very important for Polish fans. This is when I change my story, cambiar a miña vida, 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. Eu non podo esperar.

 

"Escoita, I don’t care what everyone thinks. I care what my team thinks. I care what my family, meu pobo pensar.

 

“I’m going to kick his ass. Remember, campión, I’m going to kick your ass. Happy Holidays, campión. Do not sleep.”

REGIS PROGRAIS:

"El é un opoñente máis difícil do que as faces que enfrontar, e un cara grande, pero eu estou chegando a gañar.

 

"Eu vivín en Houston loita contra eses loitadores mexicanos robustos para o último 10 anos. I know how to fight tough guys like that. I know what he’s bringing.

 

"Eu non tiven o KO [contra Amos Cowart], que é o que eu quería, pero eu fixen pousar unha morea de socos.

 

"Eu creo que se eu machucar Ramos cedo eu vou ser capaz de leva-lo para fóra, pero eu sinto que non me vai machucar.

 

“I have a lot of people coming out from New Orleans. I’m not worried about the crowd – I’m here to do what I have to do.

 

“We can fight on the inside and pound it out or fight on the outside. We’re ready for anything.”

 

ABEL RAMOS:

"Eu non sinto que estou entrando como azarão en todo. Teño moito máis experiencia afeccionado e eu teño máis de unha vantaxe sobre el.

 

"Esta vez, vai ver o verdadeiro Abel Ramos. Estou me sentindo realmente bo. Estou preparado e acondicionado. Vai ver un pouco de todo no arena o venres.

 

"El é [PROGRAMAS] un cara moi ocupado no arena e xoga moito socos, pero imos ver como podemos tratar con isto no arena.

 

"Sei que xoga unha morea de socos e eu creo que podo facer o mesmo, pero mellor. Xoga un monte, but they’re not effective. Going anywhere from eight to 10 rounds, Eu teño unha vantaxe para cansa-lo.

 

"Quero dedicar esta loita para o meu primo Margarito Camacho, que faleceu dun ataque cardíaco hoxe en só 43 anos."

 

BRYANT CRUZ:

"Eu vivín aquí [Houston] and training here. I’m trained by the best with Ronnie (Shields) and I’ve learned a lot from him. I’m getting a lot of attention with him as my trainer and I’m getting to learn much more about myself as a fighter and my technique.

 

“Of course I believe there’s always more to learn and with a trainer like Ronnie I’ve gained much more confidence. I feel the difference improving my technique.

 

"Ás veces eu só teño o instinto [para estar agresivo] e quero ir máis alá e poñer a presión sobre a realidade agradar a multitude.

 

"El é [Dardan] not hard to look for and he likes to come forward. I know he will be right in front of me and I know what to look for there.

 

"Eu son un cara de Nova York, polo que aquí en Houston Eu son un pouco fóra do meu elemento, but I do have some people from back home coming out to support me. I am going to go out there and go for it.

 

"Quero poñer nun bo concerto, pero eu tamén vou ser un loitador intelixente e ir co meu plan de xogo para facer o que eu vin facer aquí.

 

"Eu sabía que eu estaba falando serio sobre boxeo despois da miña primeira disputa tempo. Eu colleu e eu sabía que non podería só dar a cara que. Despois diso, Eu parei de festas, deixou de beber e comezou a correr e formación. Cando volvín eu sabía que eu estaba preparado para vencelo e eu fixen.

 

"Dende que eu comece, Non perdín un único día no ximnasio; mesmo cando eu non estou adestrando para unha loita que eu estou sempre adestrando e se negan a perder un día na academia. "

 

Dardan ZENUNAJ:

"Movéndose para Oxnard a traballar con Robert (Garcia) has been a big step in my career. I’ve sparred with (Vasyl) Lomachenko, Mikey (Garcia), (Xesús) Cuellar, Brandon Ríos, algúns dos mellores loitadores de boxeo.

 

"Eu aforrado con Lomachenko por catro semanas para a súa última loita.

 

"Esta é a miña primeira loita despois de pasar a Oxnard polo que estamos animado para mostrar o que temos está a traballar en, amosar como nós melloramos.

 

"Eu tirei esta loita a curto prazo, but we’ve been working in the gym. This is a good opportunity for us. This is the fight we’ve been waiting for. He’s undefeated but beatable.

 

"Eu non estaba preocupado porque eu estaba só uns catro quilos fóra de peso.

 

"Eu son o tipo de cara que quere loitar contra as loitas máis duras.

 

“I knew that if I wanted to make a real name for myself in boxing I would have to go after it myself. I knew I would have to come to America for I wanted to accomplish.

 

“I have watched Cruz and I know the way he fights. It’s all mental. I have that drive – I’d die in the ring. I’ve seen Cruz and he doesn’t have that.”

 

Steed Woodall:

"Temos benvida a traballar con Ronnie Shields por preto de cinco meses, sparring with Jermall Charlo and Edwin Rodriguez. Having those guys around is a great experience. I’m always in competition with them, empurrando-me para o límite e aprender con eles.

 

"Eu teño unha visión natural agresivos, mesmo cando comece como un afeccionado en 14 anos. Now I am working off different approaches and know that I just need to let my hands go. Ronnie is putting the finishing touches on me.

 

"A través do adestramento eu aprendín diferentes enfoques co meu estilo. Diferentes caras veñen e con cada unha das distintas loitas que aprender diferentes estilos. Estou sempre en competición para aprender máis e estou sempre adestrando.

 

"Quero mostrar os xuíces e os fans o que iso supón para min loita. Vou ser agresivo, pero vai loitar de forma intelixente, así.

 

"Esta é unha loita crucial para min porque eu estiven só na maioría das miñas loitas, pero esta vez pola nai vai estar aquí xunto con meu irmán, irmá e irmán de lei. A miña nai é a miña maior inspiración e de tela aquí significa o mundo para min. "

 

STEVE Rolls:
