Deir Adler gurb é an t-aon choigeartú don troid i Meiriceá Thuaidh den chéad uair ná feabhas a chur ar a cuid Béarla. Agus má tá imní uirthi faoi aghaidh a thabhairt ar Shields, an t-aon Meiriceánach a ghnóthaigh boinn óir dornálaíochta cúl le cúl ag na Cluichí Oilimpeacha, níl sí á thaispeáint. Ní fhaca sí fiú téip Shields’ meitéarach trí-troid slí bheatha ghairmiúil. Go deimhin, Tá Adler agus oiliúnóir Rene Friese ag iarraidh ar na Meiriceánaigh gan é a ghlacadh go pearsanta nuair a thagann a laoch ina coinne.
Conas atá oiliúint ag dul?
Tá sé ag dul go hiontach! Oibrím go crua agus táim an-dírithe. Tá m'oiliúnóir an-sásta liomsa agus le mo dhul chun cinn. Chuamar isteach sa champa traenála cúpla seachtain ó shin, bhí sparring iontach dian agam cheana féin agus beidh mé an-ullmhaithe chun mo chuid féin a chosaint: an crios glas.

An ndearna tú réiteach difriúil ar bith don troid seo i gcomparáid le do chuid eile?
Is ea, ach níl baint ar bith aige le Claressa. Ag tús na bliana, D’athraigh mé m’oiliúnóir a thug mé féin agus mo scileanna dornálaíochta go leibhéal dochreidte nua. Tá mé níos fearr, níos tapúla agus níos láidre. Mothaíonn sé seo iontach!

Cad a cheapann tú de Shields mar Trodaire??
Chun a bheith macánta, Ní fhaca mé riamh í ag troid, ach táim cinnte gur trodaire í Claressa ó bhun a croí. Táim mar sin. Cruthóidh sé seo chuimhneacháin draíochta ar Lúnasa 4.

An ndéanann sé aon difríocht troid i Meiriceá Thuaidh den chéad uair?
Is ea, mar ní mór dom mo chuid Béarla a fheabhsú. Labhraím Gearmáinis agus Cróitis go líofa agus déanfaidh mé mo dhícheall buíochas a ghabháil le Claressa go pearsanta as troid iontach agus a rá léi gan aistritheoir ar bith go bhféadfadh sí a bheith bródúil gur ghlac sí an dúshlán agus lá amháin go mbeidh sí ina curadh freisin. – b'fhéidir ag meánmheáchan.
Cad a chiallódh bua thar Claressa Shields duit??
17-0

Conas a mhothaíonn tú faoin athbheochan atá tagtha ar dornálaíocht na mban le déanaí?
Chuir ár bhfógra comhraic an-spreagadh ar na meáin, an lucht leanúna agus go leor dornálaithe eile atá ag iarraidh a bheith mar chuid den imeacht. Tá sé iontach a fheiceáil agus éireoidh sé níos fearr. Ach, ach rabhadh, Caithfidh Meiriceá a bheith láidir nuair a thugaim mo chriosanna ar ais abhaile go dtí an Ghearmáin. Dúirt mé uair roimhe seo é agus déarfaidh mé arís agus arís eile é: Dá airde an caighdeán, is é an níos tarraingtí an troid ar son an lucht leanúna. Teastaíonn bean chrua cosúil le Claressa agus mise nach bhfuil eagla orthu roimh dhúshlán ó thaobh staid na dornálaíochta de.

Conas a bhraitheann sé a bheith ag troid ar Showtime agus os comhair an domhain?
Is é an troid dornálaíochta is mó ban i 2017. Is é an bua an t-aon rud atá imní orm.

Cad is féidir leis an lucht leanúna i Detroit agus ar an teilifís a bheith ag súil a fheiceáil uait??
Feicfidh lucht leanúna trodaire oiriúnach, is féidir leo a bheith ag súil le puncher diana agus, ar deireadh, curadh ceannasach i gceannas.

DO SCAOILEADH Láithreach

Nutley, NJ (Iúil 19, 2017)–Middleweight contender Antoine Douglas and super bantamweight Adam Lopez are coming off strong showings this past Dé hAoine night at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Oklahoma.
Douglas took out late-replacement Juan De Angel in round four of a non-televised bout, while Lopez battled to a disputed draw in a bout that most ringside observers and fans watching throughout the country on ShoBox: The NewGeneration had Lopez coming out on top of his eight-round battle with undefeated Glenn Dezurn.
Douglas de Burke, Virginia won via 4th round stoppage when he landed a hard right to the body that put De Angel down for the ten count .
Leis an bua, An 24 year-old Douglas is now 22-1-1 with sixteen knockouts and he retained he won the WBA-NABA title and retained his WBC Fecarbox title.
Douglas is currently ranked number-9 by the WBC and he will be ranked by the WBA.
Lopez and Dezurn locked up in a high spirited bout that saw him take control of the bout with hard body shots. Each guy took a card 77-75, while the third card read even at 76-76.
The draw pushed Lopez, de San Antonio, Texas to 16-1-2.
“Antoine had a very solid performance ar an Aoine oíche. He scored his 3rd straight stoppage since his time off. He is coming along very nicely and he is just about back to the level where he was before his setback. At that point he was one of the hottest prospects in boxing, and he is a fight or two away from a big fight. As I have said time and again, we have not seen the best Antoine Douglas,” Dúirt Arduithe Céime GH3 Vito Mielnicki.
“Adam had a very nice bounce back performance. Sé 100% was robbed of a win. He won five rounds for sure and very easily he could have won six rounds. He did his training camp in New Jersey and the change of scenery really showed up ar an Aoine. He is with trainer Wali Moses, and Adam is very focused. He knows he has championship level talent, and like Antoine he is just another fight or two away from getting back to a bout that will put him in position for a big fight.”

DO SCAOILEADH Láithreach

MIAMI, OKLAHOMA – Iúil 18, 2017 – Nobody told Rolando Chinea he was supposed to the “B-side,” when he upset Ladarius Miller, O'Shanique Foster, Mel Crossty, nó ar an Satharn, when he handed Kenneth Sims Jr. (12-1, 4KO) his first loss.

The Super Lightweight prospect, who hails from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, won a majority decision over Sims in the co-feature of Dé Sathairn night’s edition of SHOBOX: An Giniúint Nua. Sims came out strong early in the fight, but Chinea was relentless, breaking down his opponent over eight rounds. Chinea dominated the last two rounds, and punch stats indicated that he landed more punches overall throughout the bout.

It was Chinea’s second Showtime outing, and Victory Boxing Promoter Chris Middendorf hopes to see him back on the network soon. “He’s shown that he’s willing to step up and face the best. He doesn’t shy away from an undefeated fighter, and he’s ready to get back in the ring on Showtime, and continue to show boxing fans what a real throw-back fighter looks like,” said Middendorf.

Chinea, as a chuid, rated the performance a ‘B.’ “I am back in the gym and ready to improve. Every fight I learn something about myself and I am ready to put that experience to work for me.”

MIAMI, Okla. (Iúil 15, 2017) – Ivan Baranchyk went the distance with Keenan Smith in front of Baranchyk’s adopted hometown in the main event of a quadrupleheader featuring eight returning fighters ar an Aoine s ShoBox: An Giniúint Nuafrom Buffalo Run Casino & Saoire.

In a battle of undefeated fighters, the hard-hitting Baranchyk (15-0, 10 Kos) took advantage of a one-point holding deduction against Sims in the fifth round to earn the decision in his fifth appearance on the ShoBox series and six consecutive fight out of Miami.

“I’m happy to be fighting back home in Miami, I love to fight here,” said Baranchyk, who was happy with his win but displeased with his overall performance. “I came out too hard and tried too hard to knock Smith out. I really wanted to knock him out which is why my punches were wild.”

Gabha (11-1, 5 Kos) sealed his fate when he was deducted a point by officials after excessive holding throughout the first half of the fight. He became the 166ú fighter to lose his undefeated record on the ShoBox sraith.

“They weren’t playing fair,” Smith said. “Anything that I did, the referee was on me. I was hitting him with clean body shots, and he kept telling me to keep them up, and then he took a point for holding. I don’t know what fight [na breithiúna] were watching.”

The fight was a hard-hitting and physical affair from the beginning. Baranchyk came out swinging, landing just 21% of his jabs and 29% of total punches, edging out Smith who landed just 22% of his total punches.

“I came out too hard and tried to knock him out, which is why my punches were wild,” said Baranchyk.

Sa an comh-gné, Rolando Chinea upset previously unbeaten former national amateur champion Kenneth Sims Jr. in a close majority decision.

“I was most confident after the second round of the fight, when I noticed he was sticking his tongue out and making certain gestures that showed he was tired,” Chinea said. “If I had to grade myself I would rate my overall performance as a B… I have a lot to improve on and my job here is never finished.”

Like Smith, Sims (12-1, 4 Kos) suffered the first loss of his career, becoming the 165ú fighter to lose his undefeated record on the ShoBox sraith.

In the wild final round, the pair combined for 291 punches and 85 connects, but Chinea’s surge earned him the majority decision win.

“My body just didn’t respond tonight,” Sims said. “I am done at 140 punt. I just did not feel right from the opening bell. I am going to 147 punt. "

In the sixth round, Chinea took control and was the busier fighter against a fading Sims. While both fighters exchanged numerous punches in the seventh and closed the fight out with a flurry of activity, Sims clearly struggled at 140 punt.

In the wild final round, the pair combined for 291 punches and 85 connects, but Chinea’s surge earned him the majority decision win.

In the second fight of the night, Glenn Dezurn (9-0-1, 6 Kos) stepped up to the 121-pound super bantamweight division to go the distance with ShoBox veteran Adam Lopez (16-1-2, 8 Kos) in an action-packed eight-round slugfest that ended in a split draw. Both fighters were visibly disappointed by the judge’s decision.

“I thought I did enough to win,” said the still-undefeated Dezurn, who spars with his wife, women’s pro fighter Franchon Crews. “I’m just fortunate for this opportunity and hope [Lopez] and I can come back strong and fight again someday.”

The first round was a round of give-and-take where both Dezurn and Lopez landed and sustained an impressive amount of body punches. It was Lopez who originally appeared more subdued, foregoing the counterpunch as Dezurn worked the jab.

By the fifth round it was clear Dezurn was losing steam when Lopez began to break him down and force him against the ropes. Lopez went on to dominate the sixth and seventh rounds, when Dezurn, clearly out-fought, looked tired and began to lean over.

“After the first round, I dominated the action,” Said Lopez, who has now fought on ShoBox a record-tying six times. Maybe [Dezurn] won the seventh, but I whipped him. I should have won the fight, this was a redemption for me. Once I got used to his speed, I feel I won rounds six to two. The whole fight, his back was against the ropes and I beat up his body.”

Trained by the famed Coach Barry Hunter, the still-undefeated Dezurn made a valiant comeback in the final round, where he came back to life.

“I thought it was fair,” Hunter said. “We came on in the middle rounds, and Glenn won the seventh and eighth to get us the draw. It all came down to the stretch and I thought we did enough to win those rounds.”

I bout oscailt an telecast, former knockdown-of-the-year candidate Joshua Greer Jr. (14-1-1, 6 Kos) stopped Leroy Davila (5-2, 3 Kos) after five rounds, when Davila’s corner called the fight at the conclusion of the fifth.

“The game plan was to box and hit hard, agus sin cad a rinne mé,” said Greer, who earned a memorable knockout against James Gordon Smith in his last ShoBox cuma. “I had to put on a good show. I will fight whoever has the belts. I want to fight for a world title.”

The 23-year old Greer landed a number of aggressive combinations that had Davila against the ropes from the onset. While Davila appeared to come alive in the second round, the 29-year old southpaw became stationary and had trouble recovering from a shot to the face that had him bleeding out of the left side of his nose and struggling for the second half of the fourth and the fifth. His corner called the fight just after the bell sounded, ending the fifth round.

The event was co-promoted by GH3 Promotions and Holden Productions.

Dé hAoine quadrupleheader will replay on Dé Luain, Iúil 17 ag 10 p.m. AGUS/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

NUA-EABHRAC (Iúil 13, 2017) – Day three of their blockbuster world tour sawboxing legend Floyd Mayweather and UFC superstar Conor McGregor continue to trade verbal jabs as the global stars went face-to-face in front of over 13,000 fans at Barclays Center ahead of their Lúnasa. 26 showdown on SHOWTIME PPV from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
After filling venues in Los Angeles and Toronto, an electric crowd greeted the two fighters Thursday as Mayweather and McGregor picked up right where they left off, building on the two increasingly combative press conferences held Dé Máirt agusDé Céadaoin.
The world tour concludes ar an Aoine when the fighters travel to The SSE Arena, Wembley in London.
Seo an méid a bhí an trodaithe a rá Déardaoin:
FLOYD Mayweather
“I knew that this was going to be a huge event. We had to give the people what they wanted to see and if we break the PPV record, all I’ll be doing is breaking my own record.
“I’m just thankful to be in this position. To be at this age and compete against young guys, tá sé ina blessing. He’s bigger, he has a longer reach and I’ve been inactive. Níos mó, we’ve never seen him lose standing up. He feels like he’s the best. I was the best when I was competing. So I think I had to come back for this last hurrah.
“Even though I haven’t been competing in boxing, you still have young guys calling me out all the time. Even the MMA fighters call me out.
“My thing is that either I’m going to get him, or he’s going to get me. The outcome is going to be what it’s going to be. Once you have that mindset, you’re going to be okay. He’s coming for me and I’m coming for him.
“Nobody knows that squared circle like me. I know angles. I know where to touch you at. I know what you don’t like. I don’t have to watch your tapes. That’s something I’m blessed with. Ach, he’s unorthodox. So it’ll definitely be something different in the ring. I just have to keep my composure.
“I have to stand up for the Americans and the American fight fans. He represents his country and I represent the red, white and blue. I represent everyone in this country.
“Tá mé ag déanamh seo le haghaidh 21 years in five weigh classes. I’ve never quit.”
CONOR MCGREGOR
“Floyd saying he’s going to knock me out is the funniest comment of the whole tour. I hope he comes for it and I hope he brings it. I’ll be prepared for anything and anticipate whatever he brings.
“Tá mé i gcruth mór, that’s why I’m not wearing a shirt. I’m in shape to fight right now. I don’t have a nick on my body right now. I’m going to be 100 percent on fight night.
“I have a very high fight IQ. I understand when to go and when not to. Only me and the opponent can see these details. I’m very confident whether it’s in a ring or an octagon.
“The rounds are two minutes shorter than I’m used to and there’s a lot less action than I’m used to. He’s going to feel like he’s wrestling a bear when we tie up for the first time. He’s too small. I’m going to have my way with him.
“I know every shot he throws. Tá a fhios agam cad a bheith ag súil. He fights the same every time. So we’re preparing. But he knows nothing about me. He has no idea how I’m going approach him.
“I’m not tired of this. It’s really a lot of fun. We’ll keep it professional for now. I could never get tired of this. It’s such a great time to be a fight fan.
“Floyd is saying a lot about me tapping out, but he’s never had a true fight. He knows nothing about the game that I’m involved with. We’ll see who is quitting on Lúnasa. 26.
“To come back here in New York, where I made history and become the first fighter in UFC history to win titles simultaneously, I’m blown away by the support.”

“I respect all fighters, but he’s talking a little smack,” Smith said right after both fighters weighed in at exactly 140 punt. “It doesn’t matter where we fight. I’ll fight him in his own backyard if I have to.”

Former national amateur champion Kenneth Sims Jr. (12-0, 4 Kos) will look to remain unbeaten when he meets aggressive five-year pro Roland Chinea (14-1-1, 6 Kos) in the eight-round co-feature.

Tickets for the event promoted by GH3 Promotions and Tony Holden Productions are priced at $35, $55, $65 agus $75 and are available for purchase now at buffalorun.com.

Sleachta FINAL:

KEENAN SMITH:
“I’ve been through a lot and it’s been hard, but I’ve been using it as motivation.

“I can box and I can punch. I’m not looking to go in and trade with this guy.

“I liked going away for camp for the first time. It made me focus and just kept my mind on boxing.

“I’m not worried about the hometown advantage.

“I’ve been training hard for this fight and amárach you’re going to see the best. We are looking to kill the beast. [Baranchyk] comes to fight, he swings a lot of wild punches. I’m a boxer and a puncher, I’m good at making fighters feel uncomfortable. It’s a blessing to be up here, and it’s a blessing to fight on ShoBox and it’s a big opportunity to move up the ladder.”

Oy BARANCHYK:
“Training camp went great and we did eight weeks. I’m going to be shortening my punches up. I know Keenan is an American-style fighter and will be doing a lot of moving forward.

“I love knockouts and haven’t had one in my last three fights. I can’t wait to get another one amárach.”

“Everything is perfect in Los Angeles for me. The weather and the training are amazing.

“Everyone knows I had a great fight with Abel Ramos on ShoBox. It’s a pleasure people think that was the fight of the year, and maybe the best ever on ShoBox, but I’m just focused on the future.”

“I’m not going to talk much, I’m going to get inside the ring and do all my talking inside the ring.”

KENNETH SIMS JR.:
“I’ve had some good friends recently who have lost their lives, and it’s been emotional. I haven’t been using my head and I want to get back to boxing.

“I love punching to the body. I lot of people think I lack power, and I get hit with a lot of punches. My goal is to be a pure boxer and to keep putting my punches together. .

“I feel like I’m an exciting fighter. I’ve been fighting since I was 8 years old and I’ve put in the hard work.

“I think my jab is going to be the difference and a key in this fight. That and my footwork.

“I had a good training camp, no distractions. I was focused. I’m ready to put on a great show.”

ROLANDO CHINEA
“I’m a lot stronger than I was in my last fight. This is the best I’ve felt for any fight.

“My nine month layoff doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t make any difference

“I’ve been stalking Kenneth for a while now and we’ve watched a lot of tape of him.

“People still don’t believe in me, and I still have a chip on my shoulder. I’ve fought some experienced guys and tough guys on the ‘A’ side. I’m ready to move from the ‘B’ side to the ‘A’ side.

“I’m going to show I’m here for good. You are going to see a new Rolando Chinea amárachoíche.

“I’m a workhorse and at times I’m my own worst critic.

“I watched a lot of boxing growing up. Felix Trinidad was my favorite.”

GLENN DEZURN:

“I know people are still talking about the eighth round of my last fight on ShoBox against Davila, and the crowd was going crazy, but I never focus on the crowd. I just focus what I have to do in the ring.

“I’m an old-school fighter and I’ll fight anyone. We can go out in the back alley and fight.

“I loved Sugar Ray Robinson and the approach he took in his fights.

“But at the end of the day a lot of old-school fighters have had to just get it done, fight by fight, to keep putting food on the table.

“I don’t see this as a big step up for me. I’m a pro now and I do everything like a professional. It’s been hard work, but that’s what it takes to become a world champion.

“I’m honored to be fighting on SHOWTIME once again. I’m an entertaining fighter and I put a lot of pressure on myself.”

ADAM LOPEZ:

“I need to mature more as a fighter. I wasn’t as prepared for my last fight as I should have been.

“I should win this fight easy. I watch the ShoBox fights I’ve been in and I’ve used different styles.

“We’ve worked on everything for this fight: quickness, defense, gluaiseacht. If he wants to bang it out I’ll be ready for whatever he brings.

“I’ve busted my ass in the gym every day and I’m ready. This is where all the hard work pays off.

JOSHUA GREER

“My last knockout was a KO of the year candidate. Everyone knows I’m an exciting fighter and I’m a prospect looking to make things happen.

“The knockouts are addictive and it’s important to remember to stay humble and know who I am as a fighter. We’ll take them, but I’m not looking for the knockout.

“We’ve worked on the mistakes we’ve made in the past and corrected all the problems we’ve seen.

The pillow is only going to come out if there is some trash talking, and I know there will be. So you’ll be sure to see the ‘Night, Oíche’ pillow.”

LEROY DAVILA

“Last time I fought on ShoBox I did not strategize enough like I should have.

“He might bring the pillow into the ring, but it won’t make it out after the fight. He’ll be able to use it on himself.

“I’ve got to take him out of his game. I have to take away his biggest weapon, his right hand.”
