PWEN ESANSYÈL VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2OI0NUp

 

 

 

Fernandez (16-1, 14 Ko), a protégé of former unified world champion Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez, te vin nan 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 Ko), 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, konekte sou 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 Olympics. 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. Sepandan, 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 Ko) out-boxed Carlos Ramos (9-1, 6 Ko) from start to finish to score a unanimous decision victory in the co-featured bout of tonight’s ShoBox: New Generation a difuze. 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,"Te di 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, Mass., 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, sou lòt men an, landed only 27 punches in the remaining seven rounds after landing 11 nan wonn nan ouvèti. 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 Ko) edged Brooklyn’s Wesley Ferrer (12-1-1, 7 Ko) 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, ki te bay nòt 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. Nan fen jounen an, 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. Nan fen jounen an, it was a learning experience. I got the win against a tough guy.”

 

 

 

In the telecast opener, Denver’s Misael Lopez (9-0, 4 Ko) got the better of Staten Island’s James Wilkins (5-1, 5 Ko) 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 difuze, 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, petèt, but I dropped him and that wins the fight. That was a 10-8 wonn. 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, Septanm 24 nan 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

QUOTES FINAL:

 

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, Mwen pral pran li. 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.

 

 

 

“Mwen kapab bwat, 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, Mwen pare ale. 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’. Koulye a,, 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 (opozan). Li nan jèn, he’s undefeated. He’s been hyped up in Denver. Men,, if you ask me, I don’t think nothing of him. Denver is not Brooklyn.

 

 

“I’m bigger, Mwen se pi entelijan, 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.”

O'Shaquie Foster, a Orange, 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 aparans, 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.

MASHANTUCKET, CT (Septanm 2, 2016) – New England boxers dominated last night’s Broadway boksè, 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 Ko) outboxed and outpunched former Florida State Golden Gloves champion Amos “2 Smooth” COWART (11-2-1, 9 Ko) 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
Nan ko-karakteristik nan, New Mexico super featherweight Jose “Shorty” Salinas (10-2-1, 5 Ko) stood tall, stunning Albania native Dardan Zenunaj (12-2, 9 Ko), 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 Ko) used a tremendous height and reach advantage to pound his tough Mexican opponent Naciff “Chata” Castle (17-9-2, 5 Ko) 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 Martinez.
Jon Fernandez (R) unloaded on Naciff Castillo
Brooklyn lightweight Wesley Ferrer (12-0, 6 Ko), yon 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 “Bèl bagay” Mykey Williams (4-0, 2 Ko) unloaded a three-punch combination that knocked out David Nelson (3-6, 1 KO) jis 24 segonn nan premye tou an. 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 Ko) 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 Angletè Golden Nouvo Gan chanpyon.
Anthony Laureano (R) and Nahir Albright went to war
Fan pi renmen Jonatan “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) nan wonn nan katriyèm.

Prograis was the more aggressive and effective fighter from the outset. Li te ateri 53 pousan nan vaksen pouvwa li konpare ak jis 28 pousan pou Ramos pandan y ap voye plis pase 250 plis pwenson manm.

 

Ramos (14-1-2, 9 Ko) simply couldn’t deal with Prograis’ speed and movement. At the finish, li te yon dezòd san soti nan yon koupe alantou je gòch li ak yon koupi sou tèt la nan tèt li ak pa te gen okenn repons pou ofansiv la nan pwenson soti nan opozan l 'yo undefeated.

 

"Se te yon batay enkwayab,” Prograis said. “It was really, vrèman difisil ak mwen pa t 'panse mwen te ale nan sispann l', 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, men mwen definitivman fè mal l 'ak panse ke petèt yo ta dwe te sispann li pi bonè. Ou pa janm vle fè mal okenn moun ki move kote li kapab afekte yo nan kouri nan longè. "

 

Apre batay la, Ramos plenyen ke li pa t 'menm bagay la tou apre yo fin aksidan bou la tèt nan senkyèm lan ki te louvri koupe a jayisman sou tèt la nan tèt li.

 

Fen-ranplasman Dardan Zenunaj lage deja envenku Prospect ki lejè Bryant Cruz pèt nan premye nan karyè li apre antrenè Cruz ' Ronnie Shields called an end to the fight after the seventh round. Zenunaj was ahead 67-64 sou performance twa jij yo 'apre setyèm lan.

 

Cruz te avyon de gè a pi aktif, voye 754 pwenson a sèt jij konpare ak jis 555 pou Zenunaj, men li te klè ke Zenunaj te ateri vaksen yo plis pouvwa anpil.

 

Zenunaj (11-1, 9 Ko) 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 bat konte a, men Shields te wè ase ak te kanpe totalman batay la lè Cruz (16-1, 8 Ko) retounen nan kwen an.

 

Zenunaj soti-te ateri Cruz 40-24 nan setyèm lan, tan an sèlman nan batay la pou l 'soti-jete ak out-te ateri Cruz.

 

"Mwen te vle li yo dwe yon lagè pou tout moun nan pèp la ap gade ak mwen te fè li, se konsa mwen santi reyèlman bon,” Zenunaj said. “He is really good, much stronger than I believed he would be. He hung in there, men mwen te fè travay la ak mwen te genyen.

 

"Jodi a te batay premye m 'ki nan U.S lan. epi li pa pral dènye a. Ane pwochèn a pwal yon gwo ane pou m '. "

 

Apre batay la, Cruz pa t 'fè okenn eskiz pou pèfòmans lan enèvan.

 

“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.

 

"Mwen te vini nan panse mwen te ale pou pou genyen, men li pa t 'ale wout mwen. 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. Li mete men sou mwen pa sipriz, men sa a wout la ki boksè se Se konsa, mwen pa ka vrèman dwe twò fache ak tèt mwen pa pèdi sa a. Tounen M'ap tounen vin pi fò.

 

“I did everything I could and gave it my all. I tried to listen to the punch list from my coach, men li jis soti-hustled mwen, mwen ba l 'tout respè a pou sa. "

 

Nan yon matchup de kandida middleweight, Steve Rolls bay nòt yon bèl katriyèm TKO wonn sou deja undefeated Steed Woodall. VIDEO mete aksan sou:http://s.sho.com/1O1bf7g

 

Apre de jij fèmen, 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 Ko) tounen vin ak yon tire revanj nan katriyèm lan, landing nearly a dozen big right hands. With Woodall wobbling around the ring with his guard down, abit Laurence Cole te demisyone nan sispann konpetisyon an nan 2:46 fè wonn tant lan.

 

"Mwen te prepare yo fè sa m 'te vin isit la fè,"Te di Rolls, ki te ateri 41 pousan nan vaksen pouvwa li. “I didn’t agree with the knockdown, men sa a nati a nan boksè. Ki kalite bagay ki pral rive epi ou jis bezwen chwazi tèt ou leve, kolekte tèt ou ak goumen sou.

 

"Mwen pral pran yon ti repo yon ti jan ak reyèlman jis tranpe l 'nan ak detann."

 

Woodall (8-1-1, 5 Ko) plenyen ke estopaj a te twò bonè.

 

"Mwen pa t 'dakò ak estopaj a,” 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.

 

"Kounye a li nan tounen nan tablo a desen. 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. Men,, pou kounye a, li a tounen nan tablo a desen. "

"Deplase ou nan Oxnard yo travay avèk Robert (Garcia) has been a big step in my career. I’ve sparred with (Vasyl) Lomachenko, Mikey (Garcia), (Jezi) Cuellar, Brandon Rios, kèk nan konbatan yo ki pi byen nan boksè.

 

"Mwen touye ak Lomachenko pou kat semèn pou batay dènye l '.

 

"Sa a se batay premye fwa mwen apre deplase ou nan Oxnard se konsa nou kontan anpil yo montre ki sa nou te ap travay sou, montre ki jan nou te amelyore.

 

"Mwen te pran sa a batay sou avi kout, 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.

"Mwen ki kalite nèg ki moun ki vle al goumen batay yo pi di.

“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:

"Nou te te travay ak Ronnie Shields pou apeprè senk mwa kounye a, sparring with Jermall Charlo and Edwin Rodriguez. Having those guys around is a great experience. I’m always in competition with them, pouse tèt mwen nan limit la ak aprantisaj nan men yo.

 

"Mwen gen yon apwòch natirèlman agresif, menm lè mwen te kòmanse kòm yon amatè nan 14 ane-fin vye granmoun. 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.

 

"Atravè fòmasyon mwen te aprann apwòch diferan ak style mwen. Mesye diferan vini nan ak youn ak nan batay yo diferan mwen aprann diferan estil. Se mwen menm ki toujou nan konpetisyon yo aprann plis epi mwen menm mwen toujou fòmasyon.

 

"Mwen vle montre jij yo ak fanatik yo konbyen lajan sa a batay vle di m '. Mwen pral yo dwe agresif men yo pral goumen intelijans kòm byen.

 

"Sa a se yon batay esansyèl pou m 'paske mwen te pou kont li nan pi fò nan batay mwen, men fwa sa a pa manman yo pral isit la ansanm ak frè m 'lan, sè ak frè-an-lwa. Manman mwen se pi gwo enspirasyon m 'ak gen l' isit la vle di mond lan avè m '. "

 

STEVE ROLLS:

“He’s a young hungry guy that is coming to fight. Mwen pa pran l 'alalejè. This is definitely the toughest fight for both of us.

 

"Mwen santi gwo. Mwen te gen sis ak uit semenn nan fòmasyon ak mwen santi mwen gran anpil ak gwo pare.

 

"Mwen te ap gade yon ti jan [a Woodall] and learned about him. He looks aggressive and has a good amateur background, kòm pou m.

 

"Mwen kite fòmatè mwen gade pye a batay ak mwen jis wè tou sa mwen bezwen wè. Mwen renmen kapitalize sou erè opozan mwen an.

 

"Mwen santi yo pi byen pase tout tan. Pandan kouri ak fòmasyon mwen santi mwen pi bon pase lè m 'te nan ven mwen. Kèlkeswa laj mwen, Mwen toujou santi ke mwen pa gen menm rive jwenn premye m '.

 

"Koulye a,, kòm yon avyon de gè, Se mwen menm ki pi plis konfyans ak plis dekontrakte ak estrateji m '.

 

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to fight on national TV against an undefeated guy. This is my big shot.”

 

Oy BARANCHYK:

“I have been training very hard for this fight. This opportunity is what I have been working so hard for.

 

"Kòm yon jenn, motive avyon de gè, Mwen vle kontinye amelyore epi pa janm sispann travay nan direksyon pou jwenn pi bon chak jou.

 

"Lè mwen te kòmanse premye fòmasyon, menm jan yon amatè, Mwen reyalize potansyèl la ak enpak la nan kout pyen pouvwa mwen.

 

“I do not stop training. I am extremely motivated and will keep working harder than anybody else to get where I want to be.”

 

Shadi Shehadeh:

“I am not worried that I took the fight on short notice. I stay prepared and I have been in the gym staying in good shape.

 

“I am always busy. When I’m not working, Mwen se nan fòmasyon an jimnastik.

 

"Mwen konnen mwen bezwen melanje l 'kanpe, get inside and outside. I’m going to throw out a little bit of everything.”

"Mwen vle remèsye lavil peyi New Orleans ak Houston — New Orleans pou fè m 'kiyès mwen ye ak Houston pou pran m' nan ak fè m 'santi nan kay,” Prograis said. “I am glad to be fighting back in Houston; sa a se vre wi: se dezyèm lakay mwen.

Fè tankou Prograis, 24-zan Ramos la se te yon gwan distribisyon amatè, genyen meday an kwiv nan la 2010 U.S. Boxing National Championships before turning pro the following year. Ramos ran his record to a perfect 8-0, Lè sa a, te rankontre parèy ak Prospect undefeated Maurice Hooker (kounye a rated Se pa. 10 pa WBO la) souShoBox nan mwa janvye 2014.

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

Tou de avyon de gè nan ko-karakteristik nan, Cruz ak Ferrer, are New York natives. Cruz was a 2012 Gan Golden Nasyonal moun kap kouri-up pandan y ap Ferrer (yon 2009 ak 2013 Gan Golden chanpyon) konpetisyon nan la 2012 USA boksè chanpyona Nasyonal, bat 2011 National champion Semajay Thomas. The matchup features two exciting come-forward boxers aren’t afraid to mix it up. Lakwa, viv kounye a ak fòmasyon nan Houston anba tutèl a nan Ronnie Shields, te montre a vas amelyorasyon depi ki lye ak moute ak antrenè a ki renome.

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, te gen enpresyonan depi rive nan U.S lan. nan 2014. He’s been on a tear this year, ale 5-0 ak senk debouchur, all coming in three rounds or less. Baranchyk, yon stablemate a Sergiy Derevyanchenko ak Ievgen Khytrov, se kap enpresyone lè li fè l ' ShoBoxpremye kont pi di opozan l 'yo nan dat nan ansyen klase nasyonalman exceptionnelles amatè e kounye a, Robert Garcia-ki resevwa fòmasyon Andre Ruiz.

 

"Mwen pa t 'kapab gen plis eksite sou opòtinite sa a,"Baranchyk Mackenzie. "M 'ap chache yo swiv nan mak pye yo nan Sergiy ak Ievgen stablemates mwen, ki te gen kèk nan pi bon pèfòmans yo sou ShoBox. I know that Ruiz is coming to fight, e se li ki pral fè advèsè a pi di mwen te te fè fas, men rèv mwen an se ou kapab vin yon chanpyon nan lemonn li pa gen anyen epi pa gen moun ki pral jwenn nan wout ki pase nan sa. "

 

Ruiz se te youn nan pi t'ap chache-apre amater ap vini soti nan Kòt Lwès la lè Jezi vire tèt li pro a 18 nan 2012. After his first year and half as a pro, Ruiz te ale yon pafè 7-0, ap resevwa pi gwo ekspoze goumen sou yon kantite kat wo nivo, included Pacquiao-Bradley I. Following a victory in August 2013, Ruiz took a break from the sport as he dealt with managerial and promotional issues. Ruiz signed with DBE last January and made his anticipated ring return in February, shaking off a bit of ring rust to get his career back on track. Ruiz, 22, dènye goumen nan mwa Out, ki fè nòt yon TKO sizyèm-wonn sou Andres Bustamante, his fifth knockout in nine career victories. Ruiz is looking to prove that he is the top prospect that so many thought he was when he takes on the dangerous Baranchyk.

 

"Baranchyk te yon amatè akonpli e se kounye a undefeated, men mwen pare pou defi a,” Ruiz said. “This is my shot to prove myself and I’m not going to let it slip away.”

 

Woodall vs. Rolls

Bout la Woodall-Rolls twou de ansyen standouts amatè nan batay pi di yo pro nan dat. Woodall te yon senk-fwa England Nasyonal chanpyon, de-tan chanpyon Britanik, ak yon ka-finalis nan chanpyona yo Youth Mondyal anvan chanje lokal nan peyi Etazini an. and embarking on his professional career at the age of 19. Koulye a, 21, Woodall has relocated his training camp to Houston and linked up with world-renowned trainer Ronnie Shields. The always-exciting Woodall is an aggressive come-forward banger with good power in both hands. Woodall made his debut under Shields last Oct. 7 nan New York City li voye je sansasyonalis ki mennen Shields ki fè nou kwè ke li te gen sa li pran yo yon sèl jou a vin yon chanpyon mond.

 

"Mwen gen yon gwo ekip ki ap travay avè m 'jou apre jou,” Woodall said. “I have had the chance to spar some of the best fighters in all of boxing, ki gen ladan Edwin Rodriguez ak Jermall Charlo, ak Mwen kap pou pi devan pou mete tout sa ki travay nan aksyon vin Dec.11. I’ve been putting in the work in the gym and now is my chance to prove it in the ring.”

 

Kòm yon amatè, Rolls konpetisyon sou tou de nan 2009 ak 2010 Kanadyen ekip Nasyonal boksè, konpile yon bèl 83-14 dosye. Nan mwa septanm 2009, li te ale nan nan 2009 Entènasyonal boksè Asosyasyon (AIBA) Gason an boksè chanpyona nan Milan, Itali, kote li pèdi nan tou an nan 16 to 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Vijender Singh of India.
