FNU Combat Sports Show Featuring Ivan “La Bèstia” Baranchyk

Leave a comment

Joan “La Bèstia” Baranchyk (15-0, 10 KOs) joins the broadcast tonight to talk about his recent war on ShoBox with Abel Ramos (17-2-2, 12 KOs). Baranchyk launched an incredible effort in the later rounds to hand Ramos his second professional loss and establish himself as a spirited, tough-as-nails brawler. Some experts claimed the fight was one of the most entertaining bouts in the 17-year history of the ShoBox series. Tom, Tony and Rich discuss the fight, other highlights of Ivan’s career, and get Baranchyk to explain how his early start in Jiu Jitsu eventually led him to the Sweet Science. The 24-year-old is already solidifying his legend, which explains why he points to “Planxa” Mike Tyson as one of his role models in the sport of boxing.

 

Tom, Tony and Rich also discuss the latest Mayweather/MacGregor news, an odd suspension of an MMA fighter for going after his opponent’s corner man, the calling off of Chris Brown vs. Soulja Boy, and Roy Jones Jr. re-establishing his goal of fighting Anderson Silva in a boxing match (he now wants it to be on the Mayweather/MacGregor undercard).

 

We also recap last week’s combat sports events and preview Bellator 173 and this week’s upcoming boxing matches.

PENSAMENTS FINALS

Chris Pearson

 

En lluitar contra Justin DeLoach...

"Ja he tingut l'esquena contra la paret abans. Sé com se sent. Faig el millor possible quan tinc l'esquena contra la paret. Sé que és un lluitador amb talent i que té poder a les dues mans, però també sé que es veu tremolat quan es trenca. És un noi atlètic, és ràpid i es mou bé, però sóc el lluitador més hàbil.

 

"DeLoach comet molts errors al ring. Vaig a aprofitar-ho. No ha estat mai contra un noi com jo. No passarà per mi. Simplement sóc el millor lluitador aquí.

 

"Tinc el millor cop i tinc el pedigrí. Sóc disciplinat i pacient. Ja veuràs demà nit, DeLoach té una sorpresa. L'única manera en què aquest nen em guanya és si vaig amb l'estratègia equivocada, però sé que no ho faré. Pel que fa a habilitat per habilitat, Sé que estic a un nivell diferent".

 

Al camp d'entrenament...

"He estat al campament des de l'abril de l'any passat, gairebé un any. No em preocupa gens ni mica fer pes. M'he despertat aquest matí a les 152 lliura. Vaig aprendre dels meus errors. Cada baralla que he semblat mediocre ha estat perquè em mato fent el pes".

En la seva derrota contra Eric Walker...

"Vaig lluitar per guanyar pes per a la meva lluita contra Walker. Vaig haver de perdre 20 lliura a 10 dia. Vaig esperar fins a l'últim moment per fer pes i vaig pagar el preu. Jo no tenia cames. El tenia en la posició que el volia, però no tenia energia per tancar el tracte. No vaig poder lliurar. Vaig perdre aquella lluita a l'escala. Vaig aprendre la meva lliçó. No tornarà a passar".

En demà l'enfrontament de la nit...

"No crec que sigui un partit de boxa durant molt de temps. Una vegada que un de nosaltres es senti còmode amb la gamma i cregui que tenim l'avantatge, començarem a obrir-nos més. Si surt una mica més calent, Crec que les meves habilitats marcaran el ritme i faran ajustos a mesura que avancem. La boxa és la ciència dolça, però no és la ciència de coets. Entres allà i trobes l'avantatge. Tu fas el que has de fer, ajustar-se i obtenir la victòria".

Justin DeLoach

En treballar amb el seu nou entrenador, Lucius Robinson...

"Vaig tenir algunes diferències amb el meu anterior entrenador [Paul Williams]. Volia més la part mental de l'entrenament, no només el físic. Només teníem diferents filosofies, així que vaig decidir canviar d'entrenador.

 

"Ara estic entrenant amb Lucius Robinson i és un gran canvi, psicològic i filosòficament.. Realment estic trencant el que estic fent al ring. No només hi entraré a lluitar. Com a lluitador jove entres al ring i només lluites, però has de fer més que això. Estic aprenent a utilitzar el cap al ring. Quan et pegue, Sé per què et pego, on et pego. Sé què faré.

 

"Aprendre el costat mental del meu esport realment em va portar a un altre nivell. Qualsevol pot entrar-hi i ser noquejat, per això vaig tenir la meva primera pèrdua, però qui realment pot entrar-hi i fer el que fa Floyd? Destrueix un oponent en les rondes posteriors. Domina la dolça ciència. Aquest és el canvi més gran que he tingut en la meva carrera, per aprendre la part mental de l'esport".

 

En els seus tres últims combats...

"Vaig lluitar contra tres prospectes invictes l'any passat i els vaig guanyar. Vaig lluitar Junior Castell que té el poder a les dues mans. Vaig entrar-hi, Vaig fer el meu i el vaig superar. Vaig acabar amb el nocaut Dillon Cuini i després Dominique Dolton, que és un oponent respectable. Vaig tenir un any de dia”.

En la seva lluita contra Dominique Dolton...

"Va ser una cosa que es va reunir a darrera hora. Se suposa que havia de lluitar contra Chris Pearson, però es va ferir. Agraeixo molt l'oportunitat de lluitar contra Dolton perquè molts emergents no tenen l'oportunitat de lluitar contra un noi així.. Dolton va ser com una lluita de campionat per a mi. Em va ensenyar molt i em va portar a un nivell completament diferent. Va ser un oponent substitut, i Déu meu, és un lluitador infernal".

 

En el seu KO sobre Dillon Cook a ShoBox...

"És divertit. Sóc més boxejador que punxador. No busco el nocaut. M'agrada boxejar. Em considero un boxejador. Sento que els meus oponents no solen saber quant de poder tinc. Em subestimen i estic d'acord amb això. El meu poder els desequilibra".

En lluitar contra un zur...

"Quan lluites amb un zurd, només hi ha dues persones que pots estudiar: Floyd Mayweather i Roy Jones Jr. Si els mireu, podreu aprendre moltes coses. Pot ajudar-vos a desenvolupar les vostres habilitats. Vaig fer els deures. Sé exactament què faré demà."

 

En fer pes...

"Mai he tingut problemes per fer pes. El meu cos se sent bé. Quan estava amb Ronnie Shields al començament de la meva carrera, Vaig aprendre que si em cuido el meu pes des del principi, pots concentrar-te en entrenar per a la lluita. Així, això és el que faig. Faig pes aviat i després entreno la mà per lluitar contra el meu oponent".

 

Saül Rodríguez

 

En de demà lluita contra Oscar Bravo...

"Vull quedar bé. Si em concentro a dictar el ritme d'aquesta lluita, arribarà el nocaut. Els meus cops seguiran arribant i finalment faré algun dany. El deixaré caure i després, el pararé.

 

“Sempre busco el nocaut. Simplement és més satisfactori per a mi. M'agraden els KO, però tindré paciència. Sento que Bravo està fet a mida per a mi. Mai ha estat detingut. Així que vull aturar-lo. No em mal, No seré temerari. Però si ell està allà per donar-me un cop de puny, Li donaré un cop de puny i aniré pel nocaut".

 

Sobre el canvi de promotor...

“Top Rank volia fitxar-me de nou, però va ser la meva decisió de marxar. Vaig sentir que no em tractaven bé. Vaig sentir que no estava tenint les oportunitats que em mereixia. Així que vaig decidir signar amb Floyd, i aquí estic, lluitant a SHOWTIME. Va ser una bona jugada".

 

En sparring amb Mikey Garcia...

"Fa anys que he lluitat amb Mikey Garcia. Em va preparar per gairebé totes les baralles professionals que he tingut. Jo diria que ens hem reduït 100 rondes. He après molt d'ell. Crec que tenir-lo com a company d'entrenador ha estat un factor de diferència per a mi. M'ha fet un millor lluitador".

Sobre el que ve…

"Vaig a aconseguir un títol a 130 primer i després pujaré de pes. M'agradaria lluitar Berchelt Miguel—el tipus que acaba de vèncer a Vargas. Gervonta Davis també té aquest pes. El trobaré pel camí. M'interessa més la unificació. Vull aconseguir el títol del CMB i després vull anar per l'IBF".

 

Òscar Bravo

Al camp d'entrenament...

"He estat entrenant al gimnàs de Floyd a Las Vegas. Vam estar una estona al camp d'entrenament. Crec 135 és el meu millor pes per lluitar".

 

En el seu oponent, Saül Rodríguez...

"És un bon lluitador. És un lluitador jove i no ha estat al gimnàs amb els lluitadors experimentats com jo. Llança cops de puny salvatges. Si ho fa, El faré pagar".

 

Sobre el que ve…

"Vull ser campió del món algun dia. Mai he tingut tant de temps per preparar una baralla, així que aquesta vegada veureu un lluitador diferent. Estic segur i sento que aquesta lluita canviarà la meva vida.

 

“El meu somni era ser campió de Xile i ho vaig fer. Sempre vaig agafar baralles d'última hora amb dues setmanes d'avís i vaig anar lluny".

 

Andrew Tabiti

 

Sobre la seva actuació contra Keith Tapia...

"Vaig mantenir la calma. Vaig pensar que era agut. Molta gent no pensava que guanyaria a Tapia, però ho vaig fer. Els estils fan baralles i ens van combinar perfectament. Des de Tapia, estic molt millor. Tenia molta energia i es movia molt. Al principi em va treure del meu estil, però em vaig adaptar".

 

En el seu oponent, Que seriós...

"Vaig mirar una cinta sobre ell. És de peu pla i es manté immòbil. Sé el que té per oferir. Puc ajustar-me bé. Vaig tenir un bon cop, un gran cop de puny".

 

Sobre el que ve…

"M'encantaria un cop del títol mundial, però em mantindré pacient. Encara estic al gimnàs de Floyd i treballant dur. Vull ser un pes pesat algun dia. M'agradaria estar més actiu i lluitar més.

 

“Si les coses van bé, M'agradaria una foto del títol a finals d'aquest any. No hi ha molts boxejadors americans a la meva classe de pes. M'agradaria lluitar Shumenov Beibu. Això és qui vull.

 

"M'agradaria passar al pes pesat més tard en la meva carrera".

 

Que greu

 

Sobre el seu enfrontament demà nit…

"Tinc previst vèncer a Andrew Tabiti demà nit. M'he preparat per a això. Ho hem fet tot. He estat preparat per a aquesta lluita mentalment. No he estat mai 100 per cent per lluitar, excepte aquest.

 

"No em preocupa Tabiti. La Tabiti està preocupada per mi. Té el títol a perdre. Així és com ho sento. He vist els seus vídeos de YouTube, i he vist els errors que ha comès. I aprofitaré aquests errors.

 

"No només estic lluitant contra Tabiti, Estic lluitant contra TMT. Estic lluitant contra Floyd. M'estic prenent aquesta lluita molt seriosament".

 

En el seu oponent, Andreu Tabiti...

"Tothom pot semblar bé quan lluites amb nois que no poden lluitar. El seu darrer rival, [Keith] Tapia era bona. Però amb qui més ha lluitat?

 

“Tinc tot per guanyar, res a perdre. Tinc gana. No sóc un mimat, noi mimat. No tinc ningú que em compri cotxes. Tinc una nota de cotxe, una nota de casa, dos nens i un altre de camí. Tinc gana. Ho tinc tot per perdre... Faré el que he de fer".

En la seva carrera professional...

"Vaig tenir una gran carrera amateur. Vaig fer algunes parades i sortides. Vaig tenir problemes quan no vaig signar amb un promotor que sortia de les proves olímpiques i això va aturar una mica la meva carrera professional.. La meva carrera professional va començar lenta. No sóc tan actiu com m'hagués agradat, però sóc jove 34. Mai he rebut una pallissa. Vaig lluitar cinc vegades i 2014, i dues vegades dins 2015 i l'any passat, sense baralles. Visc una vida neta i no bec ni fumo. Només entreno. Cada dia.”

Top-10 Ranked Undefeated Bantamweights Antonio Nieves & Nikolay Potapov Clash In Co-Feature To Claressa Shields vs. Szilvia Szabados On ShoBox: La Nova Generació
Més, Undefeated Welterweight Wesley Tucker Faces Once-Beaten Ed Williams; Unbeaten Detroit Bantamweight James Gordon Smith Takes on Joshua Greer, Jr.

In addition to the history-making six-round main event featuring two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Escuts (1-0) de sílex, Mich., taking on Hungary’s Szilvia “Sunset” Ell és lliure (15-8, 6 KOs) for the Women’s NABF Middleweight Championship, there will be a trio of exciting bouts between rising prospects with a combined record of 80-2-5 amb 39 KOs.
“Detroit City Gold” will mark the first time in history a women’s boxing match has headlined on premium television. Shields and Szabados will also be the first women’s fight on ShoBox, a series that has sparked the careers of 67 future world champions.
Antonio Nieves vs. Nikolay Potapov – 10-Round Bantamweight Bout
The co-main event will feature a 10-round battle between top-10 ranked bantamweight contenders Antonio Nieves (17-0-2, 9 KOs) i Nikolay Potapov (16-0-1, 8 KOs). Nieves is ranked No. 4 en el de l'OMB, while Potapov is ranked No. 9 per l'OMB, No. 10 by WBA and No. 13 per la Federació Internacional de Boxa.
Neu, a top amateur, was a five-time Cleveland Metro Golden Gloves Champion. En 2011, he was the National Golden Gloves runner-up and U.S. Nationals Bronze Medalist at 123 lliura.
Un professional des de novembre 2011, he won the initial 12 fights of his career before boxing to an eight-round draw with Stephon jove de juny 20, 2015. The NABO bantamweight champion, he has gone 6-0-1 since and is coming off a second-round TKO over Szilvester Ajtai últim Novembre. 26. A l'agost 2016, he fought to a 10-round split draw against Mexico’s Alejandro Santiago a ShoBox.
Because they are both residents of Ohio, Nieves has long clamored for a showdown with former WBA Champion and fellow 118-lb contender Rau’shee Warren. A victory over Potapov may put him in the right position to have his wish granted later this year.
“I feel great about this opportunity and I’m going to take advantage of it,” va dir la Nieves. “Ell és un bon boxejador. He comes forward and throws a lot of punches. He’s got a solid foundation. I believe it’ll be a good fight but, total, I’ll be able to outbox him. I can make him make mistakes and take advantage of it. Seré 100 percent ready to show everybody the real Antonio Nieves. I’ll use my legs more and throw a lot of combinations. I will box my way to my big shot.”
The 26-year-old Potapov was an outstanding amateur with international success. The 5-foot-4 native of Russia had around 200 fights before he turned pro in March 2010. Va continuar 13-0 as a pro in Russia before his U.S. debut.
Potapov had a 14-fight winning streak ended when he boxed still-undefeated prospect Stephon jove (13-0 anar a) to a 10-round majority draw on April 15, 2016, a ShoBox. Potapov, who felt he had done more than enough to earn a victory, entered the ring ranked 10º al FIB, rare for a fighter at that point in his career.
Since the disappointing result against Young, Potapov has fought twice, leaving nothing in the hands of the judges by winning both by early round knockout. He’s coming off a fourth-round TKO over Alexander Saltykov last Desembre. 15.
“I have been training in Russia and am excited to be in Detroit (since Feb. 1) training at the Kronk Gym with world-class trainer Javan SugarHill Steward,” Potapov said. “Antonio Nieves is a very talented fighter and I look forward to a great exciting fight of skill and will on Març 10.”
Wesley Tucker vs. Ed Williams – Eight Round Welterweight Bout
També en ShoBox: La Nova Generació will be an eight-round welterweight battle between local prospects with much to prove, Wesley Tucker (13-0, 8 KOs) i Ed Williams (12-1-1, 4 KOs).
The 29-year-old Tucker, de Toledo, Ohio, was a standout amateur. Ell era el 2012 National Golden Gloves runner-up at 152 pounds and had over 250 baralles com amateur. Com a professional, he’s stayed relatively active since his debut in February 2013, but the 5-foot-8 southpaw has been virtually untested. Tucker will be looking to score his first significant professional victory against Williams.
“Em sento bé. Excited about the opportunity,” va dir Tucker. “He’s a tough fighter from Detroit. But I’m better. I’ve seen every kind of style there is. You can expect fireworks that night. Estic 100 percent ready.”
Detroit’s Ed Williams is coming off a unanimous decision victory over then 6-1 Christon Edwards, last July at the MGM in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old suffered his lone career loss in November 2015 via unanimous decision to Marcus Beckford in Beckford’s home state of Louisiana. Com amateur, Williams was a two-time Michigan State Champion and a two-time Detroit Golden Gloves Champion.
“I feel like this is a great opportunity to fight at home and on TV,” va dir Williams. “It’s the first fight at the MGM, first women’s bout to headline. There’s a lot of firsts going on that night and it’s a big stage, but I’m not afraid of anything. I don’t know much about Tucker other than he’s from Oho and he’s shorter than me. I’m just going to prepare for everything. One thing about me — I’m a gladiator. If he doesn’t show up to go to war, I will get him out of there. L'entrenament va genial. I’m in Houston for this camp. I’m working on a lot of things and getting sharper and staying busy.”
James Gordon Smith vs. Joshua Greer, Jr. – Eight Round Bantamweight Bout
Opening the telecast will be an eight-round bantamweight “Detroit vs. Chicago” enfrontament entre James Smith (11-0, 6 KOs) i Joshua Greer, Jr. (11-1-1, 4 KOs).
The 26-year-old Smith was a standout amateur, anant 110-9 en route to a bronze medal at the National Golden Gloves. He holds an amateur win over current top-10 bantamweight Antonio Nieves.
Herrero, a 5-foot-4, is making his ninth start in Michigan, his seventh in Detroit and first at MGM Grand. A six-year pro, Smith has been victorious in three consecutive matches since a no-contest on Feb. 6, 2016. Ell ve d'un nocaut tècnic en el segon assalt sobre Portes de Cap d'Any last Jan. 22 in his fourth consecutive scrap at Masonic Temple in Detroit.
“This is a great opportunity to better my career and keep moving it into the right place,” va dir Smith. “A victory would get me ranked and keep me moving up the ladder. Plus the world will get to see me for the first time. I want to put on a good show, no matter how it goes. I just want it to be a competitive and exciting fight.”
Greer, a 22-year-old Chicago native, was a Chicago Golden Gloves Champion. He will be coming down in weight to face Smith, having normally campaigned around 120 lliura. He was last seen stopping Cristian Renteria in the fifth round in October of last year. Before that he took the undefeated record of the Dominican Republic’s Juan Gabriel Medina (llavors 10-0, 9 KOs) via unanimous six-round decision.
Greer suffered the lone loss of his career in the fifth fight of his career, a majority four-round decision against fellow unbeaten Stephen Fulton al desembre 2015.
“I feel really good about this. I’m ready and can’t wait for it to happen,” said Greer. “I don’t know much about James Smith, but I know we fought the same opponent, Antwan Robertson, and he got dropped by him. And I stopped him within 24 segons de la primera ronda. L'entrenament va genial. I have the best sparring you can ask for, guys like Adrian Granados, Eddie Ramírez, Hank Lundy. I will be well prepared for this fight. If it was demà, I’d be ready.”

Ivan Baranchyk – Is he the next Arturo Gatti?

Baranchak Gatti.png

Miami, OKAY (Febrer 14, 2017) – El Divendres, Febrer 10, boxing fans were treated to a fight of the year candidate between junior welterweights Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk of Brooklyn, NY and Arizona’s Abel Ramos. The bout took place at the Buffalo Run Casino in the main event of ShoBox: La Nova Generació. It was a significant fight for both combatants, with Baranchyk looking to move further up the ladder while Ramos hoped to become a player at 140 pounds by taking out his highly regarded foe.

 

When the matchup was announced, Baranchyk and Ramos were expected to put on an entertaining fight. What ultimately transpired however far exceeded expectations.

 

For ten rounds, Baranchyk and Ramos had the capacity crowd on their feet cheering on the incredible action. Both men hit the canvas and were badly hurt at different points of the fight, trading punches at a frenetic pace. They bled, brawled and left everything in the ring in a fight that was among the greatest in ShoBox’s 17 year history.

 

Els puntajes van ser 99-91, 97-92 i 97-93 for Baranchyk, que és 14-0 amb 10 nocauts. Ramos, whose stock went up tremendously in defeat, és 17-2-2 (12 Nocauts).

 

The CompuBox stats were similar to the first showdown between Arturo Gatti and Mickey Ward. Baranchyk and Ramos combined to land 664 total punches and 482 power shots. Gatti-Ward I saw a total of 618 connects with 521 being power punches.

 

“I believe this has to be the best fight in ShoBox history,” exclaimed Baranchyk’s promoter Tony Holden, who promotes him along with DiBella Entertainment and Fight Promotions Inc. “Ivan is a natural crowd pleaser. He has the biggest heart in boxing and incredible conditioning. Like we saw many times from the late, great Arturo Gatti, Ivan was hurt, bloodied and took a lot of punches but his will powered him to victory. I believe he could become the next Arturo Gatti but there’s still work to do.”

 

Lou DiBella, who promoted the aforementioned Ward, believes Baranchyk is boxing’s newest action star.

 

“We got stats from CompuBox and they were almost identical to Gatti-Ward 1 and Corrales-Castillo 1, two of the greatest fights in boxing history. Baranchyk and Ramos put on a fight for the ages and I think the comparison to Gatti-Ward is a good one. Ivan’s offensive mindedness and willingness to take and give punishment is reminiscent of Arturo Gatti. He’s already shown he can get a crowd behind him and that was proven by how quickly the fans in Miami, OK adopted him as if he were one of their own. I really think he can become the Belarusian Gatti.”

IVAN “THE BEAST” BARANCHYK:

“I’m working with a new trainer (Eduard Kravtsov) al Wild Card Gym. We had some mistakes with our old team and it was time for me to move on. It was my decision to move on.

 

“We have better sparring now, a new coach, new strategy. Wild Card is a different experience. We have tough sparring, tough training. It was a good change.

 

“I’m still the same aggressive fighter; I come forward and try to stop you. We’re just working on a few new things, more combos, better defense.

 

“Ramos is my toughest opponent, but we’re ready for everything he brings. We’re ready to fight on the inside, on the outside.

 

“The game plan is to get the victory. That’s the most important

 

“The first couple rounds are the most dangerous. We know he’s tough and experienced. We need to make it my fight, style-wise.

 

“My last two fights went the distance, but it was good to know I can go 10 rondes. It was good to get that experience.

 

“People connect with me here (a Miami, Oklahoma.). I can’t explain it, it just works.”

 

ABEL RAMOS:

“Ivan is a different fighter. We know what we’re getting in there with and we’re going to feel out his power. His last two fights went the distance so he must not hit that hard. We’re going to wear him out.

 

“Ivan is aggressive, and he can be explosive at times, but he makes mistakes. He fights a little wild.

 

“I think I can start to worry him. We’re going to test his power and decide how I need to fight. He hasn’t fought anyone at my level yet.

 

“I have to win this fight. This is my third time on SHOWTIME and I have to win. He de fer una declaració.

 

“I’ve been working on pushing the pace. You’ll see some of that demà nit.

 

“We sparred with Sergey Lipenets, helping him get ready for his fight in December. That was a good experience for us.

 

“I’ve learned lot since my loss to Regis (Prograis – ShoBox, 2015). I’m training harder, working in the gym, taking this more seriously.

 

“I’m here to show that I’m back and ready for the top guys. I’ve had three wins by knockout since the loss. I’m a different fighter.”

 

LENIN CASTILLO:

“We know Williams is an aggressive fighter that comes forward. I’ve seen some tape. I’m expecting him to come at me. But it’s nothing I’ve never seen before.

 

“I need to bring the pressure so the judges won’t have any doubt. I need to fight my fight.

 

“I think I’ve fought the better opponents. I think my experience is going to be the difference.

 

“The quality of fighters here (in the U.S.) is better than back home (República Dominicana). This is where I want to fight now.”

 

JOSEPH “MACK” WILLIAMS:

"Ell (Castell) has a few more fights, but mostly in the Dominican Republic, so we don’t know how good he actually is.

 

“He’s never fought anyone like me. He’s going to come with confidence because he’s 15-0 amb 10 KOs. He’s confident because he’s Olympian. But he’s never faced anyone like me.

 

“He may be an Olympian, but look who I fought in the amateurs. Look at the men that I beat. And those guys are mostly cruiserweights now. I’m much stronger at light heavyweight.

 

“This is the right time and right place for us. This is a huge opportunity.

 

“I don’t think he’s the best fighter I’ve faced. If I hit him clean I don’t think it will go that far. I’m going to go in there with an open mind and exploit his weakness.

 

“I’ve gradually moved down in weight. I’m faster at light heavyweight. When I was heavy I took my time. I’m sharper, Més ràpid. I’m just a totally different person.

 

“I always compare myself to James Toney. I can hit hard, Puc fer un cop de puny, and I’m slick. What you see will depend on my opponent. If I feel he’s weak, I’ll jump early. I can brawl, Jo puc boxejar. I’m explosive.”

 

JON FERNANDEZ:

"Jo va discutir amb (Carl) Frampton in Las Vegas for the (Lleó) Santa Cruz fight. It was a great experience sparring with him three times a week. It gave me more confidence knowing I could handle him.

 

“Garza is basically the same height as Frampton, so that will be an advantage.

 

“I know he’s going to come at me, and we’re ready for that. I need to keep my rhythm and make it an entertaining fight. I believe my power and speed will be the difference. I throw a lot of punches.

 

"Aquesta lluita significa molt per a mi. We’re both good fighters and the TV exposure means a lot. It’s a good opportunity and I need to take advantage of it.”

 

ERNESTO GARZA:

“We’re going to give him something he’s never seen before. We’re going to bring the action.

 

“I’ve always been an aggressive fighter. I like to bring the pressure.

 

“I’ve faced guys as tall as him before, I fought a guy that was 6-foot-2. I know I need to get inside with a guy like this.

 

“I’ve seen a lot of his fights, and I don’t think he’s a fast puncher. He always fights the same style, and his opponents are always there for the taking. I’m not going to be there for him to hit like that.

 

"Aquesta és la meva oportunitat. This is a big opportunity for me.”

Ivan Baranchyk: An unlikely journey from Belarus to Miami, Oklahoma

Leave a comment
Per publicació immediata
Miami, OKAY (Febrer 7, 2017) – When junior welterweight powerhouse Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk first entered a boxing gym at age 12 in his native Belarus, he quickly learned why boxing is known as the loneliest sport.
"The man who ran the gym I went to was supposed to be the trainer but he had a drinking problem,” Baranchyk recalled. “Instead of teaching us the sport of boxing, he just opened the gym door each day and left us without steady guidance.”
Baranchyk learned much of the sweet science on his own and didn’t have a stable trainer throughout his amateur career. Sorprenentment, he won the 2009 World Junior Championships and defeated future two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Robeisy Ramirez of Cuba in the process. After continuing to excel as an amateur, the word quickly got out about the Belarusian buzzsaw.
He had offers from promoters across the globe to turn pro and elected to sign with Fight Promotions Inc. Baranchyk relocated to Brooklyn, NY after turning pro in June 2014. Nine victories later, he was matched with fellow unbeaten Nicholas Givhan of Michigan on ShoBox: The New Generation at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OKAY. A transplanted New Yorker who fought most of his professional bouts at that point in the Big Apple, Baranchyk never heard of Oklahoma and wasn’t sure what the environment would be like.
En paper, the bout was viewed as a tossup and Givhan had more professional experience. Both fighters weren’t known to locals but it took less than half a minute to change that. Només 21 seconds after the opening bell, Baranchyk flattened Givhan with a vicious left hook that was one of 2016’s best knockouts. The standing room only crowd at the Buffalo Run was amazed and wanted to see him fight there again.
Three months later, Baranchyk granted their wish when he made his second straight ShoBox appearance, taking apart previously undefeated Eliseo Cruz Sesma inside of three rounds. The all-action Baranchyk had the crowd on their feet throughout the contest chanting “Beast, Bèstia, Beast” until the stoppage.
Poc després, Baranchyk signed with Tony Holden Productions, who promotes Baranchyk alongside DiBella Entertainment and the aforementioned Fight Promotions Inc. He’s since won two more bouts at the Buffalo Run, raising his professional record to 13-0 amb 10 knockouts while capturing the USBA and WBC USNBC titles in the process.
"I feel very comfortable with the fans out there,va dir Baranchyk. “I felt the energy at the Buffalo Run instantly and I’m grateful that the fans have been so supportive of me.”
Holden has been promoting fights for more than two decades and had many crowd attractions, most notably former champions Tommy Morrison and Johnny Tapia. He thought he’d seen it all. This was until a fighter with a background far different from the majority of his fans became an adopted son in the 14,000 person city of Miami, OKAY.
"He’s truly special to the fans at the Buffalo Run Casino and residents of Miami to the point where they’ve adopted him as if he were a lifelong local,” Holden said of Baranchyk, who is a member of Holden Productions’ Four State Franchise. “His style is entertaining and all boxing fans like action fighters. It’s amazing because when Ivan first fought here in March 2016 he was virtually unknown and now he’s a house fighter.”
Baranchyk will have a tough task when he faces Arizona’s Abel Ramos at the Buffalo Run Divendres Febrer, 10 in the ten round main event of a ShoBox tripleheader. Ramos, 17-1-2 (12 Nocauts), has multiple wins over unbeaten fighters including a fifth round stoppage of 13-0 Dario Ferman last May. He’s faced quality opposition and is expected to be Baranchyk’s biggest test to date.
To ensure he’s at his best, the IBF #7 ranked Baranchyk trained in Los Angeles at Wildcard Boxing Club alongside new trainer Edward Kravtsov. With a solid training camp in the books, Baranchyk is prepared to deliver a solid performance Divendres nit.
"This was a great camp and Wildcard is an awesome environment. It was something I needed to prepare for a good tough opponent in Abel Ramos. I’m fully prepared to entertain my fans at the Buffalo Run Casino. If everything goes as planned and I emerge victorious, I trust my team to get me to the next level.”
The ShoBox tripleheader airs at 10:05 pm ET and tickets are available at the Buffalo Run Box Office or by going tostubwire.com/event/shoboxthenewgeneration/buffaloruncasino/miami/14075.

NOVA YORK (Febrer. 7, 2017) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Escuts will make her professional television debut on ShoBox: La Nova Generació, a series that has sparked the careers of 67 future world champions, a Divendres, Març 10, en viu per SHOWTIME (10 p.m. I/PT) des MGM Grand Detroit Event Center a Detroit, Michigan.
Escuts (1-0) is facing Hungary’s Szilvia “Sunset” Ell és lliure (15-8, 6 KOs), un ex retador al títol mundial, in the first women’s boxing match to headline on premium television. The fight will take place down the road from Shield’s hometown of Flint, em.
Shields is the most accomplished amateur boxer in U.S. història – mascle o femella – and the only American boxer to capture back-to-back gold medals at the Olympic Games.
“It is a dream come true to be the first woman to headline a boxing card on premium television,” va dir Shields. “Març 10 will be a historic night for boxing and all of the women who give so much to advance our sport. I am proud to be fighting for the NABF title in my second pro bout. I want to thank SHOWTIME, MGM Grand Detroit and Salita Promotions for this opportunity, and I will do everything to give my home state fans and the viewers a night to remember.”
Szabados said, “Fighters always say their next fight is the most important one of their career, but you get an opportunity like this, and it really is. This is an unbelievable dream. I am very happy to be receiving this opportunity. I know this fight is important for Claressa also, and I don’t really know what will happen in the ring. Els dos volem guanyar. Claressa has more amateur experience, but I have more experience as a professional. It’s going to be an exciting night.”
Entrades per a l'esdeveniment promogut per Promocions Saleta a la venda Divendres, Febrer. 10 a 10 a.m. est i tenen un preu de $250, $150, $100 i $50. Estaran disponibles a www.ticketmaster.com.
Promoter Dmitriy Salita said, “I am honored to be putting on this event at the fantastic MGM Grand Detroit, featuring American hero Claressa Shields on ShoBox: La Nova Generació. Detroit is America’s greatest comeback city and I am thrilled that she has chosen MGM Grand Detroit as the site to fight for her first professional title on Març 10. Although it is just her second professional fight, Claressa has chosen a former world title challenger for her opponent, a tough Hungarian named Szilvia Szabados, a woman who knows what’s at stake if she can win that night. We’ve got a terrific card from top to bottom in support of this fantastic main event as well, featuring some of Detroit’s brightest up-and-coming prospects, as well as some national and international flavor. Detroit deserves to have world-class events such as this and I’m very proud to be able to bring it here.”
Shields won her first Olympic Gold when she was 17 anys a la competició inaugural de boxa femenina als Jocs de Londres a 2012. She defended her title at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, becoming the only American boxer to defend amateur sports’ premier championship.
The 21-year-old Shields cruised to a 77-1 amateur record before turning professional last November, winning her first bout via unanimous decision on a non-televised undercard in Las Vegas. She now returns home as a headliner to take on the veteran Szabados in a six-round middleweight bout.
ShoBox analista expert Steve Farhood: “Women’s boxing in America has its best chance of revival because of the emergence of Claressa Shields. Women’s boxing is pretty big in certain countries, but it really hasn’t been a factor in the United States since Laila Ali i, before her, Christy Martin. Being the only U.S. boxer to win two gold medals, Claressa has instant credibility and star appeal and those two things are going to lead to wide exposure.
“She has a great back story, she’s an exciting fighter to watch and she’s instantly likeable.”
Posar -ho, Shields found solace in boxing to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges in her childhood. She’s become a vocal advocate for many social causes, including the ongoing water crisis in her hometown of Flint, women’s rights, and campaigning against sexual assault. An inspirational figure and motivational speaker, Shields represents a beacon of hope for a working-class city that struggles with violence, poverty, and everyday essentials.
In taking on a former world title challenger and fighting for the NABF middleweight championship in only her second fight, Shields continues to make immediate strides as a professional like fellow Flint native Floyd Mayweather, who won his first world title when he was 21.
Szabados challenged for a world title in July 2015 in her ninth professional fight, losing a decision to undefeated WBC Super Middleweight Champion Nikki Adler a Alemanya. The native of Miskolc, Hungary has faced two former world champions, Mikaela Lauren i Noni Tenge, and has won via knockout in three of her last five victories.
In her U.S. debut, Szabados lost a 10-round decision to then-undefeated prospect Alicia Napoleó al gener 29, 2016, in Queens, N.Y. The 26-year-old has remained active since turning professional in 2014. She fought eight fights in 2016, and already has a win in 2017 via fifth round KO over Diana Marcz in January in Budapest, Hongria.
