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

 

 

 

Fernandez (16-1, 14 KO), a protégé of former unified world champion Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez, è diventato il 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, collegamento su 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 Olimpiadi. 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,disse 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, Ho un nuovo allenatore, 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. Tuttavia, 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: La nuova generazione trasmissione televisiva. I giudici ha segnato la lotta 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,", Ha detto 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, d'altra parte, landed only 27 punches in the remaining seven rounds after landing 11 nella gara di 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 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, che è stato segnato 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. Alla fine della giornata, 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. Alla fine della giornata, it was a learning experience. I got the win against a tough guy.”

 

 

 

In apertura trasmissione televisiva, 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 trasmissione televisiva, 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, forse, but I dropped him and that wins the fight. That was a 10-8 round. 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.

CITAZIONI FINALI:

 

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, Lo prenderò. 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. Tutto dipende. 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, Poliziotto (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.

 

 

 

“Posso box, 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, Sono pronto ad andare. 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’. Ora, 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 (avversario). E 'giovane, he’s undefeated. He’s been hyped up in Denver. Ma, if you ask me, I don’t think nothing of him. Denver is not Brooklyn.

 

 

“I’m bigger, Sono più intelligenti, 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.

 

 

 

“Voglio essere al 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 a 130 libbre, 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, di 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 aspetto, 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,disse 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. Prima di ciò, Foster era un 2010 Campione Nazionale PAL, un cinque volte Campione Nazionale Ringside e due volte Campione Nazionale Junior Golden Gloves.

 

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

A 22-year-old from Worcester, Mass., Gonzalez turned pro in 2016 after a standout amateur career where he compiled a 90-15 record. Era un 2015 New England Golden Gloves champion and qualified for the 2016 Prove olimpiche.

 

 

 

Gonzalez, who will be making his ShoBox debutto, 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.”

 

 

 

Undefeated featherweight prospect Carlos Ramos, born in Ecuador but fighting out of Madrid, Spagna, has compiled a perfect record of 9-0 con sei fori. The 22-year-old southpaw will be making his U.S. debut against a serious step-up in competition in the undefeated Gonzalez.

 

 

 

Ramos, also under the tutelage of Sergio Martinez, fought on the undercard of Jon Fernandez’s WBC Silver title bout in September 2017, outpointing Lesther Cantillano. Relatively unknown stateside, the young Spanish prospect will be looking to make a splash in his U.S. debutto.

 

 

 

 

“I’m excited to fight in America for the first time and face Irvin Gonzalez,"Ha detto 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.”

 

WESLEY FERRER vs. STEVEN ORTIZ – Eight-Round LIGHTWEIGHT Bout

Ferrer, a Brooklyn, N.Y.. nativo, farà il suo ShoBox television debut in his first fight of 2018. The skilled lightweight has started his professional career unbeaten through his first 13 combattimenti, and will be facing his second consecutive undefeated opponent. Nel mese di dicembre 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 Golden Gloves nazionali.

 

 

 

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. L'ultima volta, Ortiz registered an impressive second round knockout of Joshua Davis, sending his opponent to the canvas three times. Compiling a record of 45-5 come un dilettante, 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,” disse Ortiz. “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.”

Rhode Island lightweight Nice” Nick DeLomba (11-1, 2 KO) outboxed and outpunched former Florida State Golden Gloves champion Amos “2 Liscio” 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.

Nella co-feature, New Mexico super featherweight Jose “ShortySalinas (10-2-1, 5 KO) stood tall, stunning Albania native Dardan Zenunaj (12-2, 9 KO), che è allenato daRobert 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 JonJonfer” Fernandez (9-0, 7 KO) used a tremendous height and reach advantage to pound his tough Mexican opponent NaciffChata” Castello (17-9-2, 5 KO) fino all'arbitro Joey Lupino halted the action midway through the fifth round.

Wesley Ferrer (L) was simply too much for Angel Figueroa
Sensational high school senior “Meraviglioso” Mykey Williams (4-0, 2 KO) unloaded a three-punch combination that knocked out David Nelson (3-6, 1 KO) solo 24 secondi dall'inizio del primo turno. The 18-year-old Williams, combattendo da 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.

HOUSTON (Dicembre. 12, 2015) - Regis Prograis dominato precedenza imbattuto Abel Ramosin rotta verso un nono turno TKO nel main event di ShoBox: La nuova generazione in diretta su Showtime il Venerdì a Bayou City Event Center di Houston.

 

PROGRAMMI (16-0, 13 KO) stato di collegamento a più di 5-1 voto agli ultimi tre giri della lotta prima di angolo chiesto arbitro Ramos ' Laurence Cole per fermare la lotta.

 

Con la perdita - ei precedenti risultati nella quadrupleheader - Ramos è diventato il 139thcombattente a subire la sua prima perdita nella serie di sviluppo prospettiva.

 

Prograis was the more aggressive and effective fighter from the outset. Atterrò 53 per cento dei suoi colpi di potenza rispetto ad appena 28 cento per Ramos mentre gettando più di 250 punzoni più totale.

 

Ramos (14-1-2, 9 KO) simply couldn’t deal with Prograis’ speed and movement. At the finish, era un pasticcio sanguinoso da un taglio intorno al suo occhio sinistro e uno squarcio sulla parte superiore della testa e non ha avuto risposta per l'assalto di pugni dal suo avversario imbattuto.

 

"E 'stata una lotta incredibile,” Prograis said. “It was really, veramente duro e non pensavo che stavo per fermarlo, 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, ma ho sicuramente fatto male e penso che forse dovrebbero hanno fermato in precedenza. Non vuoi mai male a nessuno male dove li può influenzare nel lungo periodo. "

 

Dopo la lotta, Ramos si è lamentato che non era più lo stesso dopo la testata accidentale nel quinto che ha aperto il taglio che sgorga sulla parte superiore della testa.

 

Late-sostitutiva Dardan Zenunaj consegnato in precedenza imbattuto peso leggero prospettiva Bryant Cruz la prima perdita della sua carriera dopo allenatore Cruz ' Ronnie Shields called an end to the fight after the seventh round. Zenunaj was ahead 67-64 sulla scorecard dei tre giudici dopo il settimo.

 

Cruz è stato il combattente più attivo, lancio 754 pugni attraverso sette round rispetto ad appena 555 per Zenunaj, ma era chiaro che Zenunaj stava atterrando i colpi più potenti.

 

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 battere il conteggio, ma Shields aveva visto abbastanza e si fermò la lotta quando Cruz (16-1, 8 KO) tornato verso l'angolo.

 

Zenunaj out-atterrato Cruz 40-24 nel settimo, l'unica volta nella lotta che egli ha gettato fuori e fuori-atterrato Cruz.

 

"Volevo che fosse una guerra per tutte le persone che guardano e l'ho fatto, così mi sento veramente bene,” Zenunaj said. “He is really good, much stronger than I believed he would be. He hung in there, ma ho fatto il lavoro e ho vinto.

 

"Oggi è stato il mio primo combattimento nella U.S. e non sarà l'ultimo. L'anno prossimo sarà un anno importante per me. "

 

Dopo la lotta, Cruz non ha fatto scuse per la prestazione deludente.

 

“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.

 

"Sono venuto nel pensare che stavo per vincere, ma non è andata la mia strada. 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. Mi ha colto di sorpresa, ma questo è il modo che la boxe è così non posso essere davvero troppo arrabbiato con me stesso per questa perdita. Tornerò più forte.

 

“I did everything I could and gave it my all. I tried to listen to the punch list from my coach, ma lui mi fuori spinto e dargli tutto il rispetto per questo. "

 

In un match di prospettive medi, Steve Rolls ha segnato un impressionante quarto round TKO oltre precedentemente imbattuta Steed Woodall. VIDEO HIGHLIGHT:http://s.sho.com/1O1bf7g

 

Dopo due turni vicini, 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) è tornato con una vendetta nel quarto, landing nearly a dozen big right hands. With Woodall wobbling around the ring with his guard down, arbitro Laurence Cole è intervenuta per fermare la gara al 2:46 del round.

 

"Ero pronto a fare quello che sono venuto a fare qui,"Ha detto Rolls, che sbarcò 41 per cento dei suoi colpi di potenza. “I didn’t agree with the knockdown, ma questa è la natura del pugilato. Questo genere di cose sta per accadere e basta a prendere te stesso, raccogliere voi stessi e combattere.

 

"Io vado a riposare un po 'e in realtà solo immergerlo in e relax."

 

Woodall (8-1-1, 5 KO) lamentava che l'arresto era prematuro.

 

«Non ero d'accordo con l'arresto,” 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.

 

"Ora è di nuovo al tavolo da disegno. 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. Ma, per ora, si torna al tavolo da disegno. "

 

Nel match di apertura della trasmissione televisiva, Ivan Baranchyk (9-0, 8 KO) eliminato in precedenza imbattuto Shadi Shehadeh (9-1-2, 5 KO) con una dieta costante di colpi di potenza a 2:28 del primo turno.

 

Mancino polacco Arthur Pin è stato intervistato da ShoBox analista esperto Steve Farhooddurante Di venerdì trasmissione televisiva mentre si prepara a sfidare il campione del mondo dei pesi massimi imbattuto WBC Deontay Wilder su Sabato, Jan. 16 su Showtime. During the interview, Szpilka avvertito Wilder che sta venendo a prendere la sua cintura:

 

"Artur Szpilka è il futuro campione dei pesi massimi, future Polish champion and a wonderful person. Non vedo l'ora, uno. Non vedo l'ora.

 

“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 (espletivo) scherzo.

 

“This is very important for Polish fans. This is when I change my story, cambia la mia vita, 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. Non vedo l'ora.

 

"Ascolta, I don’t care what everyone thinks. I care what my team thinks. I care what my family, la mia gente pensa.

 

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

«Non ho avuto il ko [contro Amos Cowart], che è quello che volevo, ma ho fatto atterrare un sacco di pugni.

 

"Penso che se ho fatto male Ramos presto sarò in grado di portarlo fuori, ma sento che non mi farà del male.

 

“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.”

BRYANT CRUZ:

"Ho vissuto qui [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.

 

"A volte mi resta che l'istinto [per ottenere aggressivo] e voglio andare a esso e mettere la pressione su di accontentare davvero la folla.

 

"E ' [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.

 

"Sono un ragazzo di New York, ecco a Houston sono un po 'fuori dal mio 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.

 

"Voglio mettere su un bello spettacolo, ma ho anche intenzione di essere un combattente intelligente e andare con il mio piano di gioco per fare quello che sono venuto a fare qui.

 

"Sapevo di essere sul serio la boxe dopo la mia prima volta sparring. Mi sono picchiato e sapevo che non potevo dare il ragazzo che. Dopo di che, Ho smesso di festa, smesso di bere e cominciò a correre e la formazione. Quando sono tornato ho saputo che ero pronto a battere lui e l'ho fatto.
