VERONA, N.Y.. – June 10, 2022 - Undefeated heavyweight knockout artistBakhodir Jalolovtook his time on Friday night, but ultimately closed the show in dramatic fashion with an eighth-round knockout overJack Mulowayiîn evenimentul principal al unuiSHOBOX: Noua generatietelecast at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y.. that helped kick off the International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction Weekend in nearby Canastota, N.Y..

Known as “Big Uzbek”, the 6-foot-7 Jalolov, a two-time Olympian and 2020 Gold Medalist from Uzbekistan, improved to a perfect 11-0 cu 11 KOs when he landed a huge left hand that sent Mulowayi (11-3-1, 7 KO) flat on his back in the eighth and final round.

“I’m feeling really good about the performance,” said the 27-year-old Jalolov. “The opponent was at a really good level and a great fighter. He was a really tough, durable guy. I landed some big shots on him and he can take a punch.”

In front of a who’s who of boxing royalty including the likes of Andre Ward, Shane Mosley, Antonio Tarver and Terence Crawford, Jalolov put an exclamation mark on an exciting night of boxing during an historic weekend of Hall of Fame inductions which will include the last three classes of inductees during Sunday’s ceremony.

Jalolov was dominant throughout the entire fight, with the only question being whether or not he would continue his knockout streak. It looked likely in both the third and fifth rounds, as Jalolov wobbled Mulowayi but the game Belgium showed heart in making it out of both rounds unscathed. In the sixth round, Mulowayi was dropped for just the second time in his career by a left cross as the bell sounded. He rose to his feet and beat the count, but was knocked down for good with yet another signature left hand at 1:20 din runda finală.

“I thought I was going to stop him at the end of the sixth round when I dropped him, but the referee let him continue and the round was over,” said Jalolov, who was deducted a point for holding in the fourth round. “I thought that was the time. But I had to wait until the final round. I’m happy that I got the stoppage. I feel like I hurt him three or four times.”

Jalolov went past the fifth round for the first time in his career, aterizare 47 percent of his power punches and out-landing Mulowayi 99-17 in total punches.

În cazul în care co-principal, undefeated Dominican heavyweight prospectGeorge Arias(18-0, 7 KO) won a tactical duel over previously unbeatenAlante Green(10-1-1, 7 KO) via split-decision with scores of 78-74, 77-75 in favor of Arias and 77-75 for Green.

“I definitely learned more than anything from this fight so I give my performance a C-plus or a B-minus because this is the type of fight that makes me go back to the gym hungrier and knowing there’s a lot more to do,A spus Arias, who now lives and trains out of the Bronx. “But we were blessed this time because should he have been a little bit stronger, things could have been more disastrous.”

Arias jumped out to a commanding lead in the first half of the fight, executing the game plan by outboxing Green and landing the cleaner, harder punches. Cleveland’s Green grew into the fight in the later rounds, but it was too little too late and Arias was able to do enough to hold off the late rally.

It was a difficult fight to score, as all three judges agreed on just two out of the eight rounds but the punch stats backed up the judges’ decision as Arias out-landed Green 81-58. Green became the 213lea fighter to have his undefeated record spoiled onSHOBOX.

“Everyone who I face always trains for me a thousand percent better,” continued Arias. “He was real complete. He didn’t really necessarily have any weakness that I could exploit. The reaction time he had was really good and he had good inner footwork where it took me a little too long to get into a zone because every strategy I used he seemed to have a good reaction.”

În deschizătorul de programe de televiziune, undefeated lightweight prospectChann Thonson (11-0, 8 KO) put on a boxing display, bruising, battering and eventually breaking down the previously undefeatedTyler Tomlin (13-1, 9 KO) en route to a fifth-round TKO. Referee Mark Nelson stopped the action 1:01 în runda.

“I knew if I stayed in the pocket with him that the shots I was going to give him would put him away,” said Canada’s Thonson, who is trained by former Olympic bronze medalist and light heavyweight contender Chris Johnson. “Surprisingly, he was a little tougher than I thought because when I hit him hard, he wasn’t taking a step back. So eventually I knew that would be his own demise and it was just a matter of time.”

Thonson, who was fighting for the fourth time in 2022, controlled the tempo and distance from the opening bell and looked like the more relaxed and experienced fighter. He used his jab and straight right hand to cause both swelling around Tomlin’s left eye and serious cause for concern in Tomlin’s corner. Prior to the start of the third round, Tomlin’s father and trainer Darryl urged his son to pick up the pace.

Totuși, it was Thonson who stepped on the gas even more. Late in the third round, Thonson landed a barrage of punches that hurt Tomlin and left his face a bloody mess. The sound of the bell temporarily saved Tomlin but his night would come to an end in the fifth round. Unable to avoid the constant punishment that Thonson was dishing out, the action was stopped after the ringside physician assessed Tomlin.

Global, Thonson landed 44 percent of his power punches and out-landed Tomlin 102-39 in total punches.

"Ma simt bine, I feel like I was in the fight. I just got caught with two overhand rights and I’m pretty sure one of them either broke or fractured my nose,” said the 22-year-old Tomlin. “It was in the second or third round when I got caught. I felt and it threw off the game plan as far as what I was trying to do. I got a little more hesitant than I should have. I just can’t get hit by those overhand rights. SHOWTIME, that’s what they do, they put good fighters against good fighters. I felt like I was going to come out on top but we have to go back and watch film and see what comes next.”

“I was reborn tonight,” Holmes said. “This performance showed that I still have it in me. I hurt my left hand in the second round. I couldn’t punch how I wanted to. I was in a bunch of pain but I pulled through. Thinking about my family pushed me through the pain.”

The 27-year-old southpaw Holmes had a 194-129 edge in total punches while landing more than 40 la sută din pumni sale de putere. A total of 280 of the combined 323 total punches landed were power punches.

"El a fost mai bun om diseară,” Brown said. “I give it up to him. He studied me. He knew the punches I was going to throw. His corner kept yelling, ‘Watch the right hook.’ He did knock the wind out of me a couple times with body shots. I had to take a second to recover. In the last round, he was catching me with head shots.

“I need to work on my left hand. I need to be like Manny Pacquiao and work on my left hand because guys know I have power in my right hook. But I’m going down to 147. That’s my true weight.”

Holmes said no matter how much Brown hurt him, he was going to push through the pain. “I was rusty. I believe I need another fight to get the rust off. My timing wasn’t there.

Dominican Republic’s De Los Santos landed 19 punches before scoring the fight-ending knockout in his secondSHOBOX appearance.

"M-am întors,” said De Los Santos, who suffered a loss in his first SHOBOX appearance in January to William Foster III. “Everyone was counting me out after the last fight. They thought I was done after the loss to Foster. But I’m back. This is the kind of statement that I should have made last time. This is a new beginning for me. I thought I was going to catch him later in the fight but the opening came early with the straight left. My preparation was just better this time, I was just more focused and better prepared and this was the result. I’m ready for anyone.”

În deschizătorul de programe de televiziune, highly regarded prospectGiovanni Márquez (1-0) became the seventh fighter in the history ofSHOBOXto make his professional debut on the series, extending the streak to 7-0 in those bouts as Marquez scored a four-round unanimous decision over a gameNelson Morales.

“I felt great,” said Marquez. “I hurt my left hand in the second round on a jab. I think I would have been able to stop him if I hadn’t hurt my hand.”

With his father and trainer, Fostul campion mondialRaul Marquez, barking instructions from his corner, Houston’s Márquez – the 2021 national Golden Gloves 152-pound champion – dominated the welterweight affair, displaying his offensive skills and using his jab and uppercut effectively as the quicker and busier fighter. Marquez landed 30 la sută din totalul pumni sale (85 pentru 280) compared to Morales at 21 la sută (42 pentru 201).

“All the attention, it’s really not normal for a 21-year-old,” said the elder Marquez, as he joined Tompkins and Campbell in the booth before the main event. “He handled all the pressure. I’m really proud of my son. I’m very satisfied.”

Added Giovanni: “It was a great experience. He was a tough, durable guy, but I feel like I handled everything, the cameras, all the attention pretty well. I started a little slow but after the first round I settled down and fought my fight. I felt fine without the headgear. We kept bumping heads, but he never hurt me. There was a lot of pressure on me, and I was a little nervous in the leadup to the fight, but once I got into the fight I relaxed and I felt comfortable. Global, it was a great experience.”

Following a competitive first round, the 21-year-old Marquez dominated the second round, his confidence surging with every second that passed against the Dominican-born Morlaes.

“I think I did OK,” said the 30-year-old Dominican Republic-born Morales (2-1) now living in Scranton, Pa. “My strategy was to go in and box. He cut the ring off and applied good pressure. I can’t say too much because it wasn’t the best of me. He was OK. I’ll be back.”

Whether he was walking Albright (14-2, 7 KO) down or punching on the move, Ortiz produced a dominant and flashy performance over 10 runde, wowing a crowd that included former light heavyweight championAntonio Tarver and San Francisco 49ers All-Pro offensive linemanTrent Williams.

After he was dropped twice in his last fight against Joseph Adorno in a majority draw in April, Ortiz looked more poised and patient in the early going, picking his punches carefully and hitting and moving while avoiding Albright’s big right hand.

As the difference in speed became apparent, Ortiz began to open up in the second after he scored with a big left that caught Albright clean. From that point on, Ortiz maintained control of the distance and pace, leaping at Albright with lefts and rights or peppering him with jabs.

“I think I showed maturity in this fight,” a spus Ortiz. “I was cautious in the beginning. I didn’t want to get caught like I did in my last fight. After I took the first couple rounds to feel him out, I saw that I could do whatever I wanted in there and I started to get into a groove and let my punches go.”

Ortiz, of Worcester, Mass., aterizat 48% (103 de 216) de pumni sale de putere, comparativ cu 41% for Albright (88 de 216), but it was his body punching that produced the biggest numerical disparity.

Afterward, Ortiz called out the power-puncher Rolly Romero (14-0, 12 KO) as the opponent he wants to face next.

“He’s got a big name,” a spus Ortiz. “He’s a big puncher, but he can’t box. That would be an easy fight. My goal is to have a title eliminator and to win a title. Dupa aceea, my goal is to be one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.”

Ortiz’s signature round was the sixth, when he showcased his footwork and speed, darting around the ring and landing rights and lefts. He connected with an overhand right on the run while New Jersey’s Albright was on the ropes and then landed several unanswered right uppercuts to punctuate the round.

Albright, an aspiring R&B singer, showed his toughness and resilience by trying to match Ortiz’s output each round. He had success in spurts, but it was fleeting. In the ninth, he landed a pair of overhand rights, only for Ortiz to use his footwork to avoid taking further punishment.

He was the better man in there tonight,” an emotional Albright said. “It was a great experience and I saw a different look. I know that I have all the talent and ability, and this will not deter me at all from being a world champion.

În deschizătorul de programe de televiziune, Paul Kroll șiMarquis Taylor fought to a spirited split draw in their eight-round super welterweight bout by scores of 77-75 for Kroll, 80-72 for Taylor and 76-76 in a verdict that frustrated both fighters. Faceți clic peAICI to watch video of the decision.

Before the bout, Philly’s Kroll spoke of the little respect he had for Taylor’s power, since Taylor only had one knockout on his ledger, but it was Taylor who was the harder and busier puncher in the contest, relying on a check left hook that continually found its mark.

Houston’s Taylor connected on 34% of his power punches compared to 29% for Kroll, outscoring him 98 pentru 71 and out-landing him 109 pentru 84 in total punches.

Taylor (12-1-2, 1 KO) staggered Kroll (9-0-1, 6 KO) in the sixth with the biggest punch of the fight, a left that caused Kroll to fall against the ropes as Taylor followed up with digging shots to the body.

I thought I had it for sure,” Taylor said. “I thought I had the fight in the bag. I don’t know what the judges saw. I was being the aggressor and I landed the clearer shots. I thought I really had that fight with no questions. I don’t know what else I could’ve done.”

The busier and fresher fighter, Taylor didn’t sit in between rounds and at times had to be restrained by his trainer from running to the middle of the ring before his minute of rest was up.

Normally a patient and technically sound fighter, Kroll, a former amateur star who won the 2016 S.U.A.. Procesele Olimpice de box, went after Taylor in the first, throwing a wild right hand that continually missed its mark.

Kroll fought well in spurts and with urgency in the eighth and final round, but Taylor was ready for him.

“I thought I won the fight 5-3,” Kroll said. “I took the beginning and the end. He won a couple rounds in the middle. We can run it back on the next ShoBox. I am ready to fight him again. He was awkward, but I outworked him on the inside. I won that fight.”

It was the first time the Dominican suffered a cut in his professional career. De Los Santos also had a point taken away in the fourth for holding. Fatigue was also a factor as De Los Santos had never been past the sixth round in his young career and seemed to run out of gas as the fight wore on.

“I was pressuring him the whole time and I knew he was slowing down and eventually I would get to him,” said Foster, who kept moving forward as the fight progressed and dictated and landed the more powerful punches. “I thought it was the right decision because I was landing more shots as the fight went on.”

The 28-year-old Foster – the younger brother of 20-0 professional light heavyweight prospect Charles Foster – was surprised with how fast De Los Santos started. “I knew I had to stay calm, and I adapted and my experience allowed me to adjust to what was happening,” Foster said. “He wasn’t devastating, and the punches never hurt me. I knew he would slow down and when he did, I began to land my shots and had success with my pressure.”

Regarding the point deduction in the fourth, De Los Santos disagreed with the referee’s decision. “I didn’t think the point should have been deducted,” said De Los Santos, who had scored stoppages in his last seven fights. “I thought I should have been warned first.

“I thought it was a close fight, but I thought I did enough to earn the victory. I was landing the harder shots throughout and he never hurt me.”

Added De Los Santos: “He was a little awkward and he came with a little more than we thought he would, but I still thought I won. He was aggressive and maybe I slowed down a little as the fight went on, but I still thought I was landing. This is a setback but I’ll learn from this and come back better.”

Not that it will help him any. I’m going to win because there are levels to this and he is not on my level. That will be very apparent quickly. I’m a strong force in the bantamweight division. Training is going good but it’s hard. I train hard and fight easy.”


The 24-year-old Sanchez, care este clasat pe locul nr. 8 de către WBA la 118 de lire sterline, is riding a four-fight winning streak.

O’Quinn is a good fighter but I’m going to give him his first loss. I’m at a point in my career where I need to make that turning point to a world title shot, and that time is now.”


Garnett vs. Nunez – 10-Round Super Featherweight Bout


Jayvon Garnett hails from the boxing talent-laden city of Cincinnati, Ohio, where he first put on a pair of boxing gloves at the age of six. He had a stellar amateur career fighting over 110 ori, developing his style and sharpening his skills in Ohio’s very competitive amateur boxing scene. The 26-year-old is coming off his career-best professional win, a unanimous decision over the once-beaten Jose Argel in June. Combining exceptional quickness and accuracy with a propensity for power, the 5’3” Garnett stopped five of his first six professional opponents. He has won his last four contests on the scorecards, all unanimously.


“It feels great to be fighting on SHOWTIME,” said Garnett. “I always dreamed of fighting on big platforms, but never dreamed it would be ShoBox for my first TV fight. Nu știu prea multe despre adversarul meu, but I will win this fight because I’m smarter. In inelul, I’m a boxer and a thinker, but I also have heavy punches. Cu această victorie, I’m going to the next level up the ladder and getting closer to being in the world rankings.”


A decorated amateur in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata’s Luis Reynaldo Nunez started boxing at age eight and went on to win a number of national championships as a member of the Dominican national team, including gold in the 2016 Youth Championship. A fan-friendly pressure fighter with heavy hands, Nunez turned professional at 18, passing every test put in front of him in his native country. His unblemished resume includes a unanimous decision over then 20-3-1 Eliezer Aquino and a fourth-round KO over then once-beaten Giovanni Gutierrez.


“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be fighting on SHOWTIME,” said the 21-year-old Nunez, who will be fighting outside of the Dominican Republic for the first time. “My opponent is a good fighter but I am here to show him what happens against real competition. Thanks to my team for getting me this opportunity and I look forward to making a splash on national television.”


Războinic vs.. Eranosyan – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout


Combaterea din Houston, Texas, Guerrero is a big-punching prospect who will be making his third appearance on ShoBox, looking to improve his record to 2-1 on the prospect development series. He won a closely contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo in March 2020, but was upset by Abraham Montoya in February. Un amator celebru care a câștigat două titluri naționale de juniori, the 23-year-old “Pork Chop” has sparred with the likes of world champions Mikey Garcia and Brandon Rios at the famed Garcia Boxing Academy in California.


“Training is going great,” said Guerrero. “I’ve been in shape for two months so now it’s just touching up basic stuff here and there with my technique. I know Eranosyan will be tough, so we’re going in with a strong mind knowing he can fight. I’m training hard because I will have to be more than ready. The guy will not be a walk in the park. But I have a different mentality now. The last fight, I went in with the mentality of ‘I can beat everybody.This one, I have to go in with a smart mind and actually box the guy and use all my skills.”


Clasat nr. 9 de către WBA la 130 de lire sterline, Eranosyan was a highly decorated Georgian amateur who has transitioned seamlessly into the paid ranks. The 27-year-old didn’t turn professional until August 2020, but has already fought nine times.

Eranosyan will make his ShoBox debut as he fights for the seventh time in 2021, which also marks his first pro fight outside of Florida.


“I haven’t studied Guerrero too much, but I watched a couple fights and he’s a good fighter with very good punching power and very good stamina,” said Eranosyan. “I’m adding a lot of stamina training and working on my legs for this fight to be ready for him. I don’t know exactly what will happen, but simply I am the best in the division, so I will win.”

Olympian Charles Conwell, who cheered Steen on from ringside. “It would have looked good to have the knockout, but beating him like I did was more amazing.”

Henderson added: “I could have cut the ring off a little bit more. I didn’t want to let him know I couldn’t use my right hand because I knew he would try and take advantage of it. My coach told me to try and fake the right hand like I was going to throw it, and then hit him with the left hand. We followed our game plan, and everything we wanted to do.”

Steen knows his future is bright and he wants to share the limelight with his brother on August 29 as Conwell is fighting on the undercard of a highly anticipated SHOWTIME PPV event in Cleveland.

The only thing I could do better was get a knockout. I feel like I hurt him plenty of times. I don’t know what the judges were watching.”

Figueroa Bocachica said he thought he won the fight. “I felt like he didn’t land anything that hurt me and I applied the pressure. I didn’t agree with the judges, but I’m the fighter not the judge. I could have put pressure from beginning instead of the end. I could have used the jab more. I was being lazy with my right hand because I was going to knock him out. Those are things I need to learn.”

He added: "Oh da, there will be controversy after this. It comes with the sport.”

The telecast opener featured a highly competitive fight in a battle of unbeatens with Martino Jules (11-0-2, 2 KO) scoring a unanimous win over ShoBox veteran Aram Avagyan (10-1-2, 4 KO) in an eight-round featherweight affair. Arbitrii au marcat lupta 77-74, 78-73 și 79-72 all in favor of Jules.

Jules knew it was close entering the final round. “I think the knockdown really helped me secure the round,", A spus el. “Once he got knocked down he was rushing in to try and get the back, which helped me since I could control the pace a little bit more.”

International Boxing Hall of Famer Tompkins called the action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer Al Bernstein and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. The executive producer was Gordon Hall with Rich Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

CLARESSA SHIELDS DOMINE MARIE-EVE DICAIRE, FAȚĂ ISTORIA CA PRIMUL BOXER ÎNCORUNAT CAMP NEDISPUTAT ÎN A DOUA DIVIZIUNE DE MASĂ

STELA NEDIFERATĂ CITĂ IUNIE ÎN LAS VEGAS PENTRU DEBUTUL MMA; ÎL APELĂ pe KATIE TAYLOR ȘI SAVANNAH MARSHALL ÎN INTERVIUL POST-LUPTĂ

(Vineri, Martie 5, 2021 - Flint, MY) Superstarul femeilor Claressa Shields și-a promovat vinerea seară drept „GWOAT” de box și a devenit WBC unificat, WBO, IBF & Campion mondial WBA Super Junior la greutate medie, prin marcarea unei decizii unilaterale de 10 runde, unanime Marie-Eve Dicaire din St-Eustache, Quebec, Canada, în evenimentul principal de 10 runde al istoricului pentru femei „SUPERMUNI: SCUTURI VS. DICAIRE eveniment la Centrul Financiar Dort și live pe pay-per-view în orașul natal Flint al Shields, Michigan.

Shields (11-0, 2 KO) a devenit, de asemenea, primul boxer din era cu patru centuri care a devenit campion mondial de necontestat la două diviziuni de greutate, în virtutea victoriei sale de închidere (100-90 de toți cei trei judecători) peste acum fostul campion Dicaire (17-1).

Fără caracteristic, Shields, în vârstă de 25 de ani, a devenit contrapuncător la începutul acestei lupte, pentru a compensa încercările lui Dicaire de a sări în și în afara razei de acțiune. Bazându-se pe reflexele ei pentru a pedepsi orice încercare de agresiune a lui Dicaire, Shields l-a închis pe canadian și apoi s-a întors la agresiunea obișnuită înaintată mai târziu în luptă.

Dicaire a aterizat cu un southpaw de calitate lăsat pe Shields în runda a patra, probabil singura ei lovitură semnificativă a luptei, iar Shields pur și simplu nu l-a scuturat.

Nu mă pot supăra pe performanța mea,”A spus Shields după luptă. „A continuat să mă coate și să mă lovească cu capul. Am încercat knockout-ul și aproape că l-am avut de câteva ori, dar avem două minute, iar arbitrul nu o rupe când mă ține și mă dă în cot. Sunt fericit, dar îmi doream totuși eliminarea. Pur și simplu nu am avut suficient timp. La sfârșitul zilei, Sunt noul campion de necontestat la 154 și primul boxer care a fost campion de necontestat de două ori. ”

Shields a spus că era fericită că și-a realizat cea mai recentă bucată de istorie în fața familiei și a prietenilor din Flint, chiar dacă pandemia a însemnat mult mai puțini fani prezenți.

„Cu Covid, nu am putea avea o capacitate completă. Sunt 300 aici și asta este capacitatea zilei, deci avem o casă plină. Nu am putea avea capacitatea maximă, dar știu dacă am fi putut, am fi avut 6000 oameni aici. Sunt fericit că am reușit să o fac aici (în Flint). Am început să boxez aici la Berston Fieldhouse la 11 ani. Niciodată, într-un milion de ani, nu m-am gândit că aș fi pe pay-per-view și mă voi lupta pentru un titlu incontestabil și aș fi una dintre cele mai mari vedete ale boxului. Voiam doar să câștig o medalie de aur olimpică. Dumnezeu mi-a dat două medalii olimpice. am 12 curele de campionat acum. Nu pare real să spui de necontestat de două ori ".

Când a fost întrebat despre doi dintre rivalii ei rămași la box, colega superstarului Irlandei Katie Taylor și cuceritoarea ei unică la amatori, Savannah Marshall din Marea Britanie, Scuturile pline de încredere.

„Katie Taylor nu este îngrijorată. 147 lire sterline este. Ar trebui să-mi plătească mult pentru a-mi pierde fundul și pentru a merge la 147. La sfârșitul zilei, Sunt o femeie. Nu am sâni mari, dar am un fund frumos, deci vino cu aluatul acela și voi fi acolo. Cel puțin un milion și voi fi acolo.

„Savannah Marshall nu se poate juca cu mine. Să-l păstrați reale. Savannah Marshall, ai câștigat o decizie norocoasă când eram copii. De asemenea, Londra găzduia olimpiadele. Dacă vrei să te bucuri că mă bate 14 arată 8 ... hai acum. Și apoi am continuat să devin campioană mondială în trei divizii diferite și ea a rupt. Știe că nu poate și nu va putea vreodată să se alăture cu mine. Poate veni în America. Voi merge în Marea Britanie. Putem merge în Mexic. Putem merge oriunde, și o voi face să se ridice. Știe asta. E speriată de mine. Savannah Marshall o poate obține. Spune-i lui Eddie Hearn, a venit acea lovitură de 250K. Spune-i să vină cu 500K ... 750K dacă vrea să mă duc în Marea Britanie și să-i fumez fata. Plătește-mă."

Dicaire și-a continuat blândețea în interogările post-luptă și a promis că nu va lăsa pierderea să-i atenueze viitorul în sport.

„Cred că Claressa a făcut o treabă bună în seara asta,”A spus Dicaire. "Astă seară, era cea mai bună. Uneori câștigi și alteori înveți. La noapte, Am învățat. Cred că acest lucru îmi va permite doar să devin mai puternic. Nu casez pentru a-mi proteja înregistrarea sau a-mi păstra evidența 0 Pierderile. Fac box pentru a învinge campioni. La noapte, Am avut șansa să mă lupt cu adevăratul campion. A câștigat de data aceasta, dar conta pe mine să mă întorc la sala de sport și să muncesc din greu și să fiu din nou campioană mondială sigur.

Shields, care spune că debutul ei mult mediatizat MMA va fi probabil la Las Vegas în iunie, aruncat 409 pumni în luptă și a aterizat 128 inclusiv 34.9% de pumnii ei de putere. Aruncă Dicaire 263 pumni în schimb, dar a aterizat doar 31.

„Flint Michigan a primit cel mai prost boxer din lume!”Le-a spus Shields fanilor ei. „Am fost incontestabili de două ori. Pacquiao care? Canelo care? Când altcineva face ceea ce am făcut eu, mi-a spus ”.

„Îmi place să mă apuc de mine pentru a face mai bine,”A spus Mitchell despre interpretarea ei. „Am vrut să fac anumite lucruri, dar nu o numesc pe această fată gardiană pentru nimic. Mi-aș dori să o fi scos mai repede de acolo și să fi fost mai clară cu jabul meu. A fost cam dificilă. ”
