TWO UNDEFEATED FEMALE WARRIORS COLLIDE ON JULY 7, 2018; BARRIOS vs. SATYBALDINOVA

SELINAAZTEC QUEENBARRIOS
RETURNS TO HER HOME STATE OF TEXAS

 

SAN ANTONIO, TX (Julho 3, 2018) – Undefeated female sensation, Selina “Aztec Rainha” Bairros (3-0, 1 KO), returns to the ring this Saturday night, Julho 7, 2018, as the main event in Corpus Christi, Texas, in the well-established American Bank Center Water Garden Room, bringing a loaded card of fistic fury.

Bairros, who owns the NABF lightweight title, which she won in her 3rd professional bout, vai enfrentar AidaLady SpartaSatybaldinova (3-0-1) a partir de Astana, Cazaquistão, best known as theFemale GGG”, and is the current WBF International Lightweight Champion. Both girls are undefeated and hold titles as lightweights. Barrios is also rated #18 no mundo pela WBC (Conselho Mundial de Boxe). This bout will be held over 8 rounds.

This bout is promoted by Reyna Promotions de Corpus Christi. The promoters were looking for a first-class main event and landed a fight that is a solid television fight. The local ABC-TV affiliate (KSAT) in San Antonio will be in Corpus to broadcast this fight live and stream it across the internet. Female and male fight fans across the world that know these two pugilists will be tuning in to watch an action-packed fight as both warriors step forward and throw punches without grabbing and holding or running. Barrios and Satybaldinova are both guaranteeing a knockout.

Selina has never been pressured in a boxing ring with a fighter like myself,” said the WBF Champ Satybaldinova. “I’m a pressure fighter that will take two punches to throw one bomb, and I feel I will be too strong for her. I do know I don’t have to look for Selina and have watched her fights. She stands and fights, which is made to order for me,”

Selina shoots back stating, “I have watched Aida’s videos and her comments about coming into my area of south Texas where I’m from, and saying she is going to knock me out, infuriates me. If it’s a war she wants, she just lit the fuse. No one is coming to south Texas to beat the “Aztec Rainha” and we will find out how tough she is. É tempo de guerra. Let’s do this.

Undefeated Super lightweight contender and brother of Selina, Mario Barrios (21-0, 13 KOs), called his agents and promoters to let them know he is leaving camp, to go to this fight and is bringing a huge fan base with him. George Foreman’s former camp organizer is coming in to work the corner with Selina, and Deborah Hawkins, the representative for the NABF Female title fights, will be there to discuss a possible rematch for the championship, if the fight is as competitive as she thinks it will be.

GM3 Promotions from California, Keeppunching Entertainment from Louisiana, and CCC Entertainment from Corpus Christi, among other promoters are eyeing these two warriors for future shows and will also be in the audience along with other well-known agents, gerentes, and promoters. Eying this fight from long distance is DiBella Entertainment in New York as Lou DiBella is building a huge stable of top notch female fighters across the globe.

Great athletes, especially boxers and in this case female boxers, are very fascinating. It will be thrilling to watch two undefeated female athletes compete against each other, while the rest of the world of female fighters avoids the undefeated stars. The difference between the greats in boxing and the contenders are those who appear to be fearless and accept all challenges and how they respond to adversity. The greats put in persistent effort to excel while the contenders lose steam and regress by fighting easier competition on regular basis. This will be Barriossecond undefeated opponent in only her 4th fight, and both have had very advanced amateur backgrounds. Satybaldinova, por outro lado, is coming into unfamiliar territory. That is what the greats do. Two potential greats meeting head to head early in their careers with each having the utmost confidence that they will win by KO.

Robert Hunt of GM3 Promotions: I am glad we were able to come to an agreement to make this fight happen because I know Aida is going to win. Barrios is good but has never fought a fighter like Aida. One thing I know for sure is the fans are in for a great night of boxing and know this is a match-up that helps keep female boxing on the forefront.

Colin Campbell of CCC Promotions:The boxing community in south Texas is going bonkers over this fight and plans to set a record for attendance. It’s fights like this that creates raving fight fans.

Ernest Reyna of Reyna Promotions: “This is my 3rd show and to be able to make this fight on this show is outstanding. Fighting as the co-main event is former heavyweight champion of the world, Oliver McCall. I am more excited about this show as a fan than a promoter. I’m pumped.

Charles Campbell of CCC Promotions:I travel the USA going to top fights. To think this is going to be in south Texas says a lot about the emergence of boxing here in Corpus Christi.

Kerry Daigle of Keeppunching Entertainment:In my 45 years of working in boxing, this may be one of the most fun matches to be made in professional female boxing. Kazakhstan vs Mexico. You can’t ask for better athletes to compete against each other. Two champions…. both undefeated…. going head to head.

Russian Prospect Elena Savelyeva to Face IBF #10- and WBC #11-rated Nina Radovanovic on Friday, Julho 13 in Montenegro

Gold-star women’s bantamweight prospect Elena Savelyeva (4-0, 3 KOs) of Russia will return to the ring on Friday, Julho 13, in Herceg Novi, Montenegro, for an eight-round showdown against current #10 IBF e #11 WBC contender Nina Radovanovic (12-2, 3 KOs) of Serbia.

 

 

 

Formerly one of the most decorated female amateur boxers in the world, Savelyeva is being fast-tracked by her co-promoters, Salita Promotions and Russia-based Alexander Nevskiy Promotion Group. Radovanovic is a two-time world-title challenger, whose only two losses occurred in world-championship fights.

 

 

 

“Even though I only have four professional fights, I want to fight the best and show the boxing world my skills,” said Savelyeva, a former world, Europeu (2X) e russo (6X) campeão amador, who represented her homeland in the 2012 Summer Olympics and competed in the first-ever women’s Olympic boxing match in history.

 

 

 

“Nina Radovanovic will be my toughest opponent on the professional ring. She is more experienced than me as professional, but I am sure that my amateur experience and already acquired professional experience will be enough for my victory which I plan to be impressive.”

 

 

 

Savelyeva says she’s optimistic about her quickly developing career, given the current state of female boxing.

 

 

 

“Female professional boxing is going in the right direction. Some of the top female fights are as exciting as the male boxers. The fact that Claressa Shields vs Hanna Gabriels did such amazing, record-setting TV ratings proves that women’s boxing at the top level is exciting and wanted.”

 

 

 

Savelyeva’s co-promoter, Dmitriy Salita, says the fast-track is justified for his talented Russian prospect.

 

 

 

“Women’s boxing had grown exponentially in recent times. Elena’s elite amateur pedigree makes her already one of the best female fighters in the world and I believe in the very near future, she will be a world champion.”

DETROIT (Junho 23, 2018) - Claressa Shields se tornou campeã mundial de duas divisões, e Christina Hammer manteve seus dois cinturões do título mundial, ambos conquistando vitórias por decisão unânime na noite de sexta-feira em Showtime Boxing: EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL do Templo Maçônico em Detroit, me.

 

 

 

E agora eles têm os olhos postos um no outro.

 

 

 

Os dois escudos medalhistas de ouro olímpicos da vizinha Flint, Mich., foi derrubada pela primeira vez em sua carreira 53 segundos do primeiro round, mas ela foi capaz de voltar e vencer todas as rodadas depois disso para se tornar uma campeã mundial de duas divisões, capturando os vagos campeonatos mundiais dos médios IBF e WBA contra Hanna Gabriels. Os juízes marcaram a luta 98-91, 97-92 duas vezes.

 

 

 

Hammer entrou no ringue após a luta dos Shields, e um escudo emocional pressionado em direção a Hammer e alguns empurrões e empurrões se seguiram. (ver video AQUI)

 

 

 

"Estou cansado de Hammer me desrespeitando o tempo todo,”Escudos (6-0, 2 KOs) dito. “Ela entra no ringue depois de todos os meus direitos, fala lixo, e então ela vai lá e parece [porcaria] contra Nelson. Eu estou cansado disso. Mas eu a deixei saber que estou mais do que pronto para uma luta contra ela. Ela queria que eu perdesse esta noite, mas eu queria que ela ganhasse porque eu quero lutar com ela. Temos que nos unificar agora. ”

 

 

 

Shields e Gabriels começaram a luta balançando furiosamente, mas era Gabriels (18-2-1, 11 KOs) quem conectou em um uppercut direito enviando escudos para a tela. (veja o vídeo de knockdown AQUI)

 

 

 

“Uma vez eu desci, Respirei fundo e me lembro de pensar comigo mesmo, ‘Estou prestes a chicotear essa garota’ ”Shields disse. “Só me lembro de pensar: vamos usar o jab e ser inteligentes.”

 

 

 

Gabriels da Costa Rica, um titular unificado de 154 libras, estava ganhando peso e tentando se tornar um campeão mundial de três divisões. (veja os destaques de Shields-Gabriels AQUI).

 

 

 

“Eu treinei para ir longe mas meu coração me traiu, porque depois daquele primeiro golpe, Eu estava procurando por outro,”Disse Gabriels, o atual campeão WBA e WBO que estava lutando em seu 12th luta pelo título mundial desde a conquista do título dos meio-médios em 2009. “Eu queria mostrar a todos que tenho um coração de guerreiro.

 

 

 

“Eu não senti que tinha uma vantagem após o knockdown. Eu senti que tinha que trabalhar rodada após rodada para ter a chance de ganhar. ”

 

 

 

Gabriels adicionados: “Ela tem muito poder. Foi uma grande luta e você tem que aceitar a decisão dos jurados. Ela é poderosa e para os fãs acho que correu bem.

 

 

 

Shields sofreu um corte na bochecha esquerda em rodada 10, e também venceu uma cabeçada. Ela se lembra de ter sido ferida pelos socos de Gabriels na cabeça apenas três vezes na luta. “A primeira rodada, quarta rodada e oitava rodada, além disso, ela não me atingiu com nenhum tiro na cabeça. "

 

 

 

Shields - em sua primeira luta com o novo treinador John David Jackson - disse que aprendeu algo sobre si mesma após a luta. “Eu posso ser colocado na minha bunda, levante-se e volte e ganhe," ela disse. “Esta noite foi minha noite e eu tenho que mostrar ao mundo que sou o melhor de todos os tempos. Eu mostrei quem eu sou. Agora, Eu sou muito perigoso porque você pode até me colocar no chão, e ainda voltarei para vencer. ”

 

 

 

A diferença na luta era Shields’ accuracy, especially in terms of her power shots as she connected on 42 percent compared to Gabriels’ 26 por cento.

 

 

 

Shields was asked after the fight when she would like to face Hammer. “Hopefully it’s next," ela disse. “I don’t need no rest. I could have whipped her tonight. I’m just so sick of her and her whole team.”

 

 

 

 

 

In a lopsided win in her highly anticipated U.S. estréia, Martelo (23-0, 10 KOs) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision against Tori Nelson (17-2-3, 2 KOs). Os escores foram 100-90, 99-91 duas vezes, to retain her WBC and WBO Middleweight World Title belts. (see Hammer-Nelson highlights AQUI).

 

 

 

“It would have been better to get a KO,”Disse Martelo, que é 27 years old and from Dortmund, Alemanha. “I tried everything I could to get the knockout. Ela era durona. I hope the USA is good with this and I’m still the champ.”

 

 

 

“Estou realmente ansioso para lutar contra Claressa. Ela vai tentar lutar contra mim por dentro, mas meu trabalho de pés e meu alcance farão a diferença. A luta com Claressa será uma virada de jogo. Será a maior luta feminina de todos os tempos. Eu gostaria de lutar com ela em um local neutro. ”

 

 

 

“Estou muito decepcionado com meu desempenho esta noite,”Disse um Nelson emocionado após a luta. “É uma perda, claro que é decepcionante. Eu não estava ocupado o suficiente, Eu acho."

 

 

 

Em sua última luta, Nelson perdeu na decisão unânime para Shields em janeiro. “Claressa é melhor,”Nelson disse. “Shields dá um jab e usa o anel. Claressa fica lá e quer lutar. Ela tem todos os golpes. Hammer só tem um. ”

 

 

 

Na abertura da cerimônia, Umar Salamov (21-1, 16 KOs) connected on a lethal right hand in knocking out Brian Howard (13-2, 10 KOs) 53 seconds into the ninth round of a scheduled 10-round light heavyweight bout.

 

 

 

Salamov, de Alkhan-Kala, Rússia, was making his United States debut and trains at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit with Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward. In a fight between two long and lanky fighters, Salamov landed 34 percent of his power punches compared to 27 percent for Howard and was ahead on all three judges’ scorecard at the time of the knockout.

 

 

 

“I was hurt a little bit in the second round from one of his shots, but I didn’t let it bother me because this is my U.S. estréia,”Disse Salamov, a six-year pro who is 24 anos. “I just kept fighting. After I got hit with that punch, I started coming forward and as soon as I did that, the fight changed.”

 

 

 

Salamov disse que soube assim que acertou na primeira direita que Howard estava ferido. “Eu soube assim que dei o soco que ele ficaria muito machucado,"Ele disse. “Senti até o cotovelo. Eu não queria bater nele depois disso porque sabia que ele estava acabado. "

 

 

 

O ex-cruiserweight Howard teve alguns destaques e foi capaz de acertar com a mão direita em várias ocasiões, incluindo um poderoso cruzamento de direita na sétima rodada que pareceu atordoar Salamov.

 

 

 

“Eu diria que fui justo, Eu fiz bem,”Disse Howard, um ex-jogador de futebol da liga menor que mora fora de Atlanta e estava fazendo sua estreia no SHOWTIME. “Tive a sorte de receber a ligação da equipe de Salamov e do SHOWTIME. Eu voltarei."

 

 

 

O tripleheader de sexta-feira será reproduzido na segunda-feira, Junho 25 em 10 p.m. ET / PT no SHOWTIME EXTREME e estará disponível no SHOWTIME ANYTIME® e SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

 

 

 

Barry Tompkins chamou a ação do ringue com o historiador do boxe Steve Farhood e o ex-campeão mundial Raul Marquez atuando como analistas especialistas. O produtor executivo foi Gordon Hall, com Richard Gaughan produzindo e Rick Phillips dirigindo.

Nova Iorque, Nova Iorque (Junho 22, 2018)-Raquel Miller kept her prefect record intact with a six-round unanimous decision over Szilvia Szabados in a middleweight bout at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, Nova Iorque.

 

 

 

Miller stunned and hurt Szabados throughout the contest. Moleiro, who was making her New York City debut showed her versatility by featuring a diverse arsenal of punches with both hands.

I enjoyed myself in there last night and it felt good to be back in action,” disse Miller. “I felt strong, and I felt like that I had a solid performance. My opponent was tough and I was happy to get the rounds in. Fighting under the DiBella Entertainment banner is very special, and I appreciated being warmly embraced by Lou DiBella himself!”

 

 

 

I decided to come out as the leader of the Wakanda tribe in the movie Black Panther, Dora Milaje. I was accented in gold because I felt they represent the new age women warriors like myself. We are fierce, strong and not afraid to go to war. I love to trailblaze, and set the bar high. I’m sure we can expect to see other women coming out and joining the Wakanda tribe and I’m happy to be the leader of that movement. ”

CITAÇÕES FLASH:

 

Claressa Shields:

“Eu tenho John David Jackson agora e aprendi muito com ele desde que nos reunimos em fevereiro. Tive treinadores no passado que tentaram mudar meu estilo e jogo, mas no final do dia eu só tenho que ir lá e lutar como se eu soubesse.

 

 

 

“Estar em Flint para meu último acampamento, você não acreditaria em todas as coisas com as quais eu tive que lidar. Apenas coisas que não deveriam estar acontecendo com um campeão mundial. Foi estressante, e fiquei estressado mesmo na semana da luta [em janeiro]. eu tenho que sair. Pude treinar na Flórida desta vez.

 

 

 

"[Hanna's] um bom lutador. Ela tem habilidades e apenas a maneira como se comporta. Ela é muito calma e suas expressões faciais nunca mudam. Eu assisti a luta onde ela foi nocauteada, e mesmo assim suas expressões faciais não mudaram. Eu acho que ela é durona, mas não tão difícil quanto eu. Eu sei que sou o melhor lutador.

 

 

 

“Tori subestimou meu poder. Eu acho que Tori tem uma chance de perfurador [contra martelo]. Eu não envolvo minha carreira em torno de Hammer. Nossas vidas não se entrelaçam. Eu tenho que me preocupar com o que está na minha frente. Eu não vou assistir aquela luta.

 

 

 

“Eu estava focado na minha dieta para essa luta. Não tenho muita família na Flórida e não tive nenhuma distração. ”

 

HANNA GABRIELS:

 

 

“Precisamos assumir a responsabilidade e garantir que nosso plano de jogo esteja correto e dar aos fãs o que eles querem ver, que é uma grande luta. Você tem que superar muito e sacrificar para chegar a este ponto, e minha equipe fez isso.

 

 

 

“Eu nunca tive medo de ninguém. Palavras não fazem nada. Quando eu entrar no ringue, serei uma fera.

 

 

 

“Eu estou bem com o que vier, ganhar ou perder. Eu sou um campeão e essa é minha mentalidade no ringue. Estamos buscando a vitória, e estou apreciando tudo o que está acontecendo preparando para esta luta.

 

 

 

“Eu não subestimo o poder dela. Mas o boxe não é apenas uma questão de poder, há muito mais. Você pode ser poderoso, mas você pode acertar o soco? Pode ser preciso? Há tantas coisas acontecendo no ringue com que você precisa se preocupar. ”

 

CHRISTINA HAMMER:

 

 

“Fiquei muito desapontado por não ter conseguido lutar em janeiro por causa dos meus problemas de visto.

 

 

 

“Eu estava na luta Claressa Shields-Tori Nelson e agora é a minha vez de entrar no ringue. Eu gosto de ir em frente e ser agressivo. Quando você pode terminar, você termina. O povo americano vai gostar do meu estilo.

 

 

 

“O boxe é minha paixão e meu trabalho, e estou preparado e ansioso por isso. Agora o dia está aqui e é no SHOWTIME. Não estamos pensando em Claressa Shields. Em respeito a Tori Nelson, Estou focado apenas nesta luta. ”

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

“I’m a power puncher and I’ve been using my legs more in camp so this camp has been so much different than what I’m used to.

 

 

 

“They say lighting strikes only once, but I got another chance. I am so grateful I got the call for this fight. This is my second chance. A lot of people don’t get second chances.

 

 

 

‘I really have something to prove. A lot of people have believed in me and I’ve got to show what I can do in the ring.

 

 

 

“I think Christina is overlooking me. It’s disrespectful but I’m glad. It’s better for me that she does overlook me.”

 

UMAR SALAMOV:

 

 

“This fight is going to be a good test. I know I can make it into the top 10, and this is my start.

 

 

 

“Há uma grande diferença morar aqui em Detroit, mas é muito parecido com Moscou, uma grande cidade.

 

 

 

“Eu amo lutar, e este é um sonho que se tornou realidade vindo para a América. Brian Howard é um adversário difícil. Não será uma luta fácil, mas estou confiante de que posso vencê-lo. ”

 

BRIAN HOWARD:

 

 

“Eu tenho um pouco de ferrugem, mas eu vou ser afiado. Eu me preparei bem e estou em forma. Eu tenho ótimo metabolismo, e pode perder peso facilmente.

 

 

 

“Eu sofri minha primeira derrota em 2012 e depois que assumi essa perda, não tive o apoio de que precisava. Voltei para ele e foi difícil conseguir uma luta. Eu tenho muitos nãos.

 

 

 

“Eu vi uma fita do meu oponente. Mas você não sabe se ele vai mudar ou trazer outra coisa.

 

 

 

“Eu boxeio melhor do que jogo futebol. Meu apelido é MVP - Most Vicious Puncher.

 

 

 

“Eu não vejo que sou o lutador do lado B. Esta é uma oportunidade real para mim, e vou tirar o máximo proveito disso. ”

 

 

 

Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Promoções Salita, estão disponíveis em Ticketmaster.com ou na bilheteria do Templo Maçônico em (313) 832-7100. Os ingressos VIP custam $300, ingressos do ringue em $125, e os ingressos restantes em $75, $50 e $35.

USA Boxing Announces Four Boxers to Compete at Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018

Boxing at Youth Olympics set to begin Outubro. 14

 

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Junho 2, 2018 – USA Boxing announced today the four boxers who were nominated to represent the United States at the Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018, pending approval by the United States Olympic Committee. The Youth Olympic Games will be held Oct. 6-8, with the boxing competition to take place Oct. 14-18 na Argentina.

 

 

 

Following the 2017 Women’s Youth World Championships and 2018 Youth Continental Championships, two men and two women have been nominated for the prestigious competition. The team will be comprised of céu Garcia (O Monte, Calif.), Otha Jones III (Toledo, Ohio), Roma Martinez (Humilde, Texas) e Harley Mederos (Nova Iorque, N.I.).

 

 

 

We’ve got a great group of young talent representing Team USA at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires,” said USA Boxing High Performance Director Matt Johnson on the nominated boxers. “Each one has good international experience, having participated in a junior or youth world championships over the past few years. That experience will be key as they face some of the world’s best up and coming boxers this October.

 

 

 

Garcia has been on the international scene since her impressive World Championships debut in 2015, where she became the Junior World Champion. The bantamweight represented Team USA at the 2017 Youth World Championships in Guwahati, India before clinching her spot to Argentina with her winning performance at the 2018 Youth Continental Championships this May. She is a two-time USA Boxing Youth National Champion, and currently has a record of 53-7.

 

 

 

Garcia described being able to represent the United States at the Youth Olympics asamazing.” “Knowing that only four boxers are nominated, and I was one of them is a very huge accomplishment for me,” she stated.

 

 

 

Being able to represent my country at the Youth Olympics is something I have worked hard for and now that I get the opportunity, I will be sure to work even harder to bring home that gold medal.

 

 

 

Light welterweight Jones III solidified his position on Team USA by winning gold at the 2018 Youth Continental Championships. Jones III will be looking to add his third international medal in 2018 at these Games, after his silver medal performance earlier this year at the Emil Jechev Memorial Tournament in Bulgaria. Jones, who has a record of 267-11, is also the 2017 USA Boxing Youth National Champion, as well as a member of the 2015 Junior World Championships team.

 

 

 

Not only is it an honor to represent Team USA in a huge tournament such as the Youth Olympics, I am pleased to represent my family as well,” stated Jones III.

 

 

 

I grew up in the boxing gym. My family owns a gym, Soul City Gym, and all my brothers and sisters were brought up in the gym to show kids a better way to live than violence and making it this far will help me show that even more.

 

 

 

Martinez was the sole American to qualify from the 2017 Women’s Youth World Championships last November. The featherweight was the 2016 USA Boxing Youth National Champion and 2017 USA Boxing Youth National Championship silver medalist. The Youth Olympic Games will be Martinez’s first international tournament of 2018, where she will be looking for her first international medal.

 

 

 

When I received the notification that I was nominated for the Youth Olympic Games, I felt resurrected,” , disse Martinez. “I have experienced a few devastating life losses in the past six months, and was feeling confused about my future in the sport,” she explained.

 

 

 

“Contudo, when I was contacted about this amazing opportunity, my vision became clear, my mind focused and my heart determined to take this opportunity not only for myself, but for every person who hoped and dreamed for a chance like this. I plan to take on this journey to Argentina with me; my faith, my boxing skills and a quote from my late teammate: ‘a boxers favorite scriptureit is better to give than to receive.

 

 

 

Mederos is the final member of Team USA to be nominated for the Youth Olympic Games. The lightweight won bronze at the 2015 Junior World Championships prior to his transition to the youth division. Mederos is the 2017 Youth National Champion and earned his place to Buenos Aires following his impressive gold medal winning performance at the 2018 Youth Continental Championships.

 

 

 

It feels amazing to be able to go to Argentina and represent my country in what I love to do most and get the chance to showcase my talent in front of everyone,” stated Mederos.

 

 

 

I can guarantee you, the best Harley you’ve ever seen, tanto fisicamente quanto mentalmente, will go out there and do the best that I can do and make everyone proud.

 

 

 

All four boxers will return to Colorado Springs in July to begin training for the Youth Olympics. Garcia, Jones and Mederos will use the 2018 Youth World Championships in Budapest, Hungary in August as a tuneup leading to the event before heading to Argentina in late September.

Here is what Shields and Gabriels had to say today at the Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit:

 

Claressa Shields

 

“It’s been seven weeks of really hard work. A lot of people don’t know and I really don’t like to be open about it, but I got to 183 pounds after my last fight in January and now I’m 160. Isso é 23 libras. I was in camp running and getting ready for the fight and having to focus on weight was very different for me.

 

 

“I feel good and ready to go. I’m happy that she made it in safe and all that but now I’m just excited. You all know how I get before fights. The champ is here.

 

 

 

 

“So much has changed since I first turned pro. In my first fight, I was frustrated against Franchon (Crews Dezurn) during our fight. I was frustrated throughout camp and I really couldn’t handle everything that was going on. Now I know how to handle the media, the workouts, the interviews and still remain disciplined. The fact that I had to lose so much weight this camp only added more discipline.

 

 

 

“It makes me so happy and it just touches my heart to see four female fighters on the main fight poster. I was so happy that they decided to put them on TV. They have put me on before but it’s always been my goal to put other women on so when they decided to put Tori Nelson and Christina Hammer on I was so excited because this has never been done before. Women’s boxing is going somewhere.

 

 

 

“I always knew that it would take me to turn professional for women’s boxing to go to a higher level. That’s why I waited to win a second Gold Medal before I turned professional. To be the one to be the leader is special. I feel like I go out there every fight and give my best and show that I can box better than 90 percent of the men that box. If you have a choice to make a man the main event or me the main event, I always want them to choose me.

 

 

 

“There’s always mutual respect between me and my opponents. I’m thankful for them because I can’t do this by myself. I thank Hanna for stepping up and it’s mutual respect until Friday. I start getting really mean on Thursday,Friday is the fight and then after that we can exchange numbers and be friends.

 

 

 

“I expect her to use her gifts. She’s really good on her legs and she’s strong up top. I think she lacks in speed so I expect her to try to counter me and try to force me to make mistakes with her movement. I think she underrates my power.

 

 

 

“I never said that I wanted to get more knockouts. I’m perfectly fine being 5-0 com dois nocautes. No final do dia, I’m fine with that. The longer I’m in the ring boxing, o melhor. The more they get to see me on TV, that’s fine. Of course I would love to get the big knockout but look how disappointed Errol Spence Jr. was to get such a quick knockout of Ocampo. That didn’t please his fans. Se o nocaute vem, it comes.

 

 

 

“This will be my toughest fight. She’s the most skilled and has the most experience. She’s a three-time world champion. I’ve fought former world champions but she’s a three-time world champion to date. The girl that beat her, Hanna avenged that loss. I’m looking forward to her coming out and putting 100 percent in and I hope for us to have a great fight.

 

“I’m always confident going into fights. I’m not leaving the ring without having two new belts.”

 

HANNA GABRIELS

 

“I think that this is a time right now where women can have this type of platform. Claressa is a great champion and I have faced great women’s champions. I think it’s a great time for boxing fans to enjoy a quality fight. She’s a champion. I’m a champion. This will be a great matchup.

 

 

 

“You are going to see a very technical and aggressive fighter. That’s the only way that you can fight Claressa because she’s so aggressive herself and so tough, you can’t go in the ring passive against her. You have to put your life on the line in there and that’s what I’m planning to do.

 

 

 

“I feel honored to be on such a great card. This is a great opportunity and I just hope everybody sees this the way that I do. We trained hard. In my case, I wanted to bring the very best out of myself so the fans could leave the arena feeling great. Isto é o que o boxe é tudo. Bringing entertainment and emotions that most other sports don’t bring to people.

 

 

 

“Essa luta significa muito para mim. Every person that I love is going through a hard time right now, including my family. I just want to lead by example and show everybody that all odds are nothing. You can still fight the battle with as many resources or as little resources as you have. I’m dedicating this fight to all my loved ones because I promise there will be better times for us.

 

 

 

“When I was five years old I was sexually abused so my teenage years were tough. Sports always took me away from that. When I got an injury and I had to stop competing in track, I thought my life was over. For the next five or six years, I was very destructive and felt like I didn’t have a purpose. When I turned 24, I started a different passage and learned that everything that happened to me just made me the person I am today.

 

 

 

“We don’t really focus on anybody’s weaknesses because we believe if you’re a good professional and you are dedicating your life to this, you are supposed to get better at your weaknesses. So we focus on her strengths and I think we have a great plan. They say that she’s been underestimating me a lot but I think it’s part of her game and part of what she does.

 

 

 

“I think her strengths are pretty obvious. She has great feet. I don’t know if she punches hard but she’s very explosive. She must have a lot of power and she’s very defensive. She keeps her distance and she’s so big and I’m so small that we will have to risk a lot of things. Her confidence is one of her biggest strengths.

 

 

 

“This will probably be my toughest fight so far. I never had an amateur career, I had just one fight. Claressa has fought 80-something times so my schooling has been in the professional environment and I have had to learn in the process. Every fight has been a hard fight because I have to solve problems and I think she is definitely the toughest opponent because she’s so tall and so fast. She must walk around normally at 185 pounds and I’m not as big so we were a little worried at the beginning at how we would reach her body but we finally were able to figure that out in training and I’m confident that my game is going to surprise her a lot.

 

 

 

“Hopefully we can bring a surprise and people will get to see me and let everybody know that there are more great boxers out there that aren’t getting the same exposure or marketing that Claressa is getting. I don’t feel disrespected, I see this is an opportunity to show what I’ve been working on. Let them plan. Maybe those plans will fall.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a great fight. She’s coming for the victory and I’m coming for the victory as well. She’s in for a big surprise.”

All Four Women’s Middleweight Titles To Be Contested on Sexta-feira, Junho 22 LIVE On SHOWTIME®

NOVA IORQUE (Junho 13, 2018) – Light Heavyweight prospects Umar Salamov e Brian Howard will meet in a 10-round matchup that will open the Showtime Boxing: EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL tripleheader Sexta-feira, Junho 22 vivo no canal Showtime® (10 p.m. E/PT) from Masonic Temple in Detroit.

 

 

 

No evento principal, unified champions from different divisions will meet in the middle. Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and Unified Super Middleweight World Champion Claressa Shields vai enfrentar Unified Jr. Middleweight Campeão do Mundo Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Championships. Both fighters have a lot at stake when they meet as Shields will look to become a two-division champion and Gabriels will seek to win titles on a third weight class. In the co-feature bout, women’s unified WBC and WBO Middleweight World Champion Christina Martelo will defend against former world champion Tori Nelson as all four women’s middleweight world titles will be at stake.

 

 

 

Salamov (20-1, 15 KOs), of Alkhan-Kala, Rússia, will be making his United States debut and is currently in training at Kronk Gym in Detroit with famed Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward. In his six-year career, the 23-year-old has already won the IBO Youth and World Light Heavyweight, WBO Youth World, Europeu e internacional, e os campeonatos IBF da Europa Leste / Oeste Light Heavyweight.

 

 

 

Howard (13-1, 10 KOs) of Bartow Fla., currently resides in Loganville, Ga., outside of Atlanta. He started boxing 12 years ago at the age of 26, after playing three years in minor league football for the Polk County War Eagles. Despite being 38, Howard has shown natural talent and has knocked out previously undefeated fighters in two of his last three appearances.

 

 

 

I waited a long time to make my U.S. debut and I am thrilled that it’s going to be on SHOWTIME,” said Salamov. “Training at the Kronk Gym in Detroit has been a phenomenal experience. I look forward to putting my skills and experience together to make a powerful statement. Howard is an accomplished and skilled boxer. I am coming in ready and know that it will be an exciting fight for the fans at Masonic Temple. This is my opportunity to show that I belong at the top of the light heavyweight division.

 

 

 

Howard is also excited to be making his SHOWTIME debut. “It’s one of the opportunities that every fighter hopes to get,"Ele disse. “I want to thank team Salamov for giving me the chance to take part in this event. I look forward to future opportunities and putting on a great show on fight night. I know he’s a champion, which I respect. He’s a skilled fighter who handles himself well in the ring, but I predict I will get him out of there between the fifth and 10thround.

 

 

 

“I believe Umar has the skills, experience and hunger to be the best light heavyweight in the world,” said event promoter Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions. “Umar will have a chance to prove a point against a big puncher and spoiler in Brian Howard. It will be an exciting fight with both fighters needing a win to get into world title contention.”
