Citas Finais:

TARAS SHELESTYUK

 

"Herrera é un bo loitador, un duro loitador. Sei que derrotou a algúns bos loitadores como Mike Jones, que era un loitador superior que levaba un par de anos de baixa. Pero eu estou 100 por cento listo. Espero unha loita moi dura e emocionante, pero espero ser moito máis forte e intelixente.

 

"Estou emocionado por toda a atención que estou recibindo nesta loita. Sempre souben que os fans en América me coñecían pero quizais agora máis que antes. Creo que no próximo ano, Podo facerme aínda máis coñecido.

 

"Estivo traballando na forza e facendo máis poderoso. Creo que as miñas habilidades no boxeo xa son boas, pero a miña velocidade e potencia son mellores que antes. Sinto no sparring que estou golpeando máis forte.

 

“Gústame traballar o corpo. Gústame o feito de que desembarques cedo deles, pasan factura tarde. Iso é algo bo de loitar como profesional. Síntome ben coa miña carreira; Espero estar loitando contra algúns dos mellores loitadores da división dentro dun ano.

 

"Estou seguro de que Herrera probablemente intentará vir contra min; non hai posibilidades de que me gañe no boxeo. Gústanme os rapaces que se achegan. Son bos para min porque podo contrarrestar e moverme de lado a outro. E estou preparado para loitar por dentro se é necesario.

 

"Sei que podo mellorar o meu último ShoBox loita. Fíxeno máis preto do que debería estar. Se o volvemos a ter de novo creo que quizais o deteo só polo que estivemos traballando no ximnasio.

 

"Combate con Shane Mosley foi enorme para min. É un gran loitador. Cando era máis novo, Observaría as súas loitas. Agora imos espallar. É maior pero segue moi ben. Coñece todos os trucos e dáme moitos consellos que me axudan a entrar e saír do ring. Todo o que me dixo, Tentei presentarme".

 

JIMMY HERRERA:

"Levo dous meses traballando para esta loita, así que estou preparado. Esta vai ser unha proba moi boa para os dous, unha gran loita. É un bo boxeador europeo, outro invicto para min. Pero non sinto que estou entrando como un desfavorecido. Ten as súas forzas, Teño as miñas forzas.

 

"Ten que haber un propósito para cada golpe. Cada un ten que contar. Se se abre e comete un erro, Teño que aproveitar. Necesito sacalo do seu ritmo cedo, forzalo a saír da súa zona de confort e facelo loitar contra a miña loita.

 

"Eu serei o agresor. Pero encantaríame que fose o agresor. Só penso, aínda, coñecéndoo, vai tentar boxear e gañar as roldas así. Traballei todo o tempo para adiante e iso é o que farei mañá.

 

"Un neno de Chicago, coma min, é difícil chegar a calquera parte do boxeo sen conexións, así que finalmente despois de loitar tanto tempo sen un xestor, Asinei con Cameron Dunkin. Sempre souben que podía ser un bo boxeador, pero nunca pensei que sería un boxeador. Pero mírame saber, Estou loitando en SHOWTIME e esta loita non podería chegar nun momento mellor".

 

CONSTANTIN BEJENARU:

"Creo que a túa carreira de afeccionado dáche unha boa base, coma un principiante, pero unha vez que te convertes en profesional é un xogo totalmente diferente. Non importa quen teña máis experiencia como afeccionado. Como profesionais, aquí todos temos que facer o noso traballo.

 

"Non coñezo a Bujaj, pero vin a súa pelexa con Junior Wright así que sei que é duro.

 

"Sinto que este é un gran paso para min. El é 16-0, un bo loitador que pode golpear ou boxear, e isto é para un cinto. Esta é unha boa loita para os dous.

"Traballo duro para cada loita e esta non foi unha excepción. Sabemos que temos que prestar atención aos detalles. Este é un tipo perigoso pero estou moi seguro.

 

"Definitivamente non espero unha loita fácil. Teño que presionar a acción. Necesito facelo tan incómodo como poida.

 

"Non teño moitos nocauts profesionais, pero o boxeo non é só poder. O boxeo é intelixencia e mental; non é só unha loita na rúa para min.

 

"Esta é a miña segunda loita ShoBox. Estou moi feliz de volver despois da última vitoria sobre Zubov. O obxectivo é manterse ocupado, Volve a principios do ano que vén e nalgún momento para o ano que vén prepárate para loitar por algún título importante".

 

STEVE BUJAJ:

 

"Estou ansioso por esta loita, o meu primeiro na rede de televisión, para ver onde estou. Como me sinto, Teño todo para gañar, todo para perder. Isto ou me leva ao seguinte nivel, ou quedo onde estou.

 

"Estou preparado para calquera tipo de loita. Son un loitador versátil e terei vantaxe de altura.

 

"Agora síntome preparado para as pelexas máis grandes, a exposición adicional en SHOWTIME, as valoracións, os títulos, todo. Pero definitivamente estarei aínda máis despois Venres.

 

"Non sinto que isto vaia 10 rounds. Sinto que o romperei e que finalmente o deterei. Sinto que teño as habilidades e definitivamente o corazón. Estou saudable e listo para ir.

 

"Vin a súa última loita ShoBox, e pensou que era bastante decente. É bastante baixo para un peso cruceiro. Aínda que os dous somos de Nova York, Nunca oín falar del.

 

"O campamento foi incrible con moitos combates. En Las Vegas. Adestrei con loitadores de Mayweather como Ronald Gavril, Badou Jack e Caleb Plant. Hai catro anos que loitei contra un zurdo pero non o considero un factor”.

 

VITOR JONES FREITAS:

“Agradezo a Deus e aos meus dous tíos por axudarme a chegar onde estou, por ensinarme e por guiarme en cada paso da miña vida e no boxeo. Sen a súa influencia e o que fixeron por min dende que fun 11, Sinto que hoxe estaría morto.

 

"Estou moi entusiasmado con esta loita e a oportunidade de loitar contra mellores mozos. Isto para min é todo sobre aproveitar a oportunidade.

 

"Cada vez teño máis experiencia. O meu obxectivo é traballar duro e, como o meu tío Acelino, fai boas loitas e convértete nun campión do mundo"

 

"Estudamos o estilo de loita de Méndez e temos moito respecto polo seu adestrador, Joel Díaz. Sei que Méndez é moi forte e sae adiante. Non sei se lle gusta cando os seus opoñentes atacan desde os lados pero estou preparado para loitar contra el polos lados., de cabeza e de pé a pé”.

 

MANUEL MENDEZ:

 

"Esta é a miña novena loita con Joel e coñecémonos moi ben. A través do malo e do bo, estivo alí para min.

 

"Estou seguro de que Freitas confía na súa habilidade, pero como calquera outro loitador invicto fai ben ata que bate contra o muro., que é o que Xoel quere que lle faga facer. Quere que o castigue, tómame o meu tempo.

 

"Sinto que teño un poder natural, pode levar un golpe e ter corazón. Golpeame canto queiras, pero ollo unha vez que conecto e cambie as cousas. O meu obxectivo sempre é rompelos, comezando polo corpo.

 

"É posible que non teña o pedigree dalgúns destes mozos, pero estou aprendendo a defensa, como me paso, mantendo equilibrado e o máis importante, só como loitar. Canta máis experiencia, canto máis maduro te fagas.

 

"Mañá Só quero ser eu e escoitar a Xoel na esquina. Non querería estar parado de min. Se quere poñerse de pé e petar, fagámolo. Garántome que el é o que volverá despois dos primeiros momentos".

COROA, Califa. (Novembro. 2, 2016) — Peso cruceiro ultra confiado invicto Steve “Superhome” बुजाज (16-0-1, 11 Kos), de Westchester, N.I., intervén antes do seu importante combate de 10 asaltos con compañeiros invictos Constantin Bejenaru (11-0, 3 Kos, 0-1-1 nas Series Mundiais de Boxeo), de Brooklyn, N.I., no partido medio dun ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader isto Venres, Novembro. 4, do Centro de eventos Omega Products en Corona, Califa.
बुजाज (pronunciado “Boo-ha”), 26, gañou catro seguidos, incluíndo a súa última dúas por nocaute, desde que pechou un empate dividido en 10 asaltos nun slugfest co entón invicto tres veces campión dos Luvas de Ouro de Chicago Junior Wright (10-0) en maio 2014. Dúas veces campión dos New York Golden Gloves, Bujah, quen loitará en ShoBox a primeira vez, vén dun nocaut técnico na primeira rolda ante o invicto Sergio Ramírez (11-0) en Xuño 11

Bejenaru (pronunciado “bay-zhin-nah-ROO”) está facendo a súa segunda saída de ShoBox. No seu debut último Abril 15, o natural de Ungheni, Moldavia, anotou unha decisión unánime en oito asaltos ante o invicto Alexey Zubov (10-0), un antigo campión ruso afeccionado e sete veces campión de Europa afeccionado. Southpaw Bejenaru boxeou na selección romanesa para 10 anos e foi nove veces campión nacional.

Aquí está o que dixo Bujaj:

Que sabes de Bejenaru e que pensas??

“Sei que está invicto, 11-0 e un zurdo, pero non creo que estea ao meu nivel. Creo que son un loitador de clase diferente e poderei demostralo o venres.”

Que tipo de loita esperas?

“Realmente non teño expectativas. Cando entro alí, Fago os meus axustes, e entón empezo a rompelo.”

Cal é a clave para gañar? Cales son as túas vantaxes?

“A miña mellor vantaxe é a miña experiencia. Loitei 10 roldas antes. Esta é a súa primeira vez. Creo que son máis hábil ca el, e creo que teño máis corazón e só creo que teño vantaxe por todas partes.”

Ao loitar en ShoBox a primeira vez?

“Estou moi emocionado e agradecido pola oportunidade que me deron. Estou preparado para saír e actuar e mostrarlle ao mundo o que estou — e ese é ser un dos mellores da división de peso cruceiro.”

A túa opinión sobre a división de peso cruceiro?

“A división de peso cruceiro é unha boa división con moitos bos loitadores. Sinto que terá máis exposición no futuro porque hai tantos loitadores talentosos e boas pelexas que poden ocorrer. Estou desexando formar parte dalgunhas das grandes loitas e facer algo de ruído.”

Que significaría para ti unha vitoria en ShoBox?

“Unha vitoria en SHOWTIME sería moi grande, pero sobre todo me mantería.”

Están cometendo un erro loitando contra ti?

“Non creo que cometeu un erro, pero négome a perder esta loita. Vou dalo todo. Non está ao meu nivel e vouno demostrar. Vou loitar contra o meu cu.”

Na súa festa co antigo retador do título mundial Wright?
“Estaba gañando a loita pero rompínme a mandíbula na cuarta volta. Eu tiña unha mala boca, un barato. Nunca souben que fose necesario colocar boquillas. O cirurxián díxome se tivese unha boquilla profesional, Non tería problema.
“Sigo crendo que calquera outra persoa abandonaría esa loita. Tiven moita dor, Non puiden pechar a boca porque a mandíbula estaba rota, Estaba cuspir sangue. Pero colguei alí a pesar da mandíbula.

“Tíñao de pé no último medio minuto máis ou menos, pero o árbitro parou a pelexa para darlle tempo a pechar un dos cordóns da súa luva.. Iso deulle tempo para recuperarse. Se o árbitro non o parara cando o fixo, Sinto que o tería noqueado.”

Sobre a súa carreira?

“Tiven que traballar duro para a miña carreira. Non teño un rexistro acolchado. Non o teño tan fácil como a maioría na súa carreira. Non teño un gran promotor, e non estou mimado. Loitei con mozos duros ao longo da miña carreira, pero aprendín moito e non me arrepinto. Pero sinto que é hora de dar un paso. Despois de gañar Venres en ShoBox, moitas portas deberían comezar a abrirme.”
Novo apelido?

“Toda a miña carreira coñéronme como 'Superman', pero estou pensando en cambiala “Aceiro.” A loita de Wright demostrou moito de min, e aprendín moito. Non renuncia. Son moi duro e de mente forte, feito de ‘aceiro’.”
Bujaj vs. Bejenaru está programado para 10 rondas e formará parte dun ShoBox: O tripleheader de Nova xeración en directo en SHOWTIME ás 10:30 p.m. E/PT (atrasado na Costa Oeste).

Chicago Welterweight Looks to Defeat Another Unbeaten Boxer When He Faces Taras Shelestyuk in Main Event Of ShoBox: A Nova Xeración tripleheader, Este venres, Novembro. 4, En directo en SHOWTIME®

Leave a comment
Nova York (Novembro. 1, 2016) – Jimmy “A Verdade” Herrera is accustomed to entering the ring as an underdog. The Chicago native is experienced in fighting favored prospects and contenders on the road and has had an inordinate success in these types of matchups, having defeated unbeaten prospects in four of his last nine fights.

So don’t expect Herrera (15-3-1, 8 Kos) to be in awe of his opponent, former Ukraine amateur standout and rising star, Taras Shelestyuk (14-0, 9 Kos) when they meet this Venres, Novembro. 4, in the 10-round welterweight main event on ShoBox: A Nova Xeraciónvivir SHOWTIME® (10:30 p.m. E/PT, atrasado na Costa Oeste) en Omega Products Event Center en Coroa, Califa.

O 5 pés-10, 27-year-old Herrera has won three in a row and is 8-1-1 since dropping a close eight-round decision to Adrian Granados en febreiro 2012. One of those victories was an upset seventh-round TKO over one-time highly ranked welterweight and world title challenger Micrófono “Machine Gun” Jones on Aug. 23, 2014.

Herrera is promoted by Hitz Boxing and co-managed by Cameron Dunkin and Mike Cericola.

Here are Herrera’s responses to a recent Q&A:

What are your thoughts going into your ShoBox debut?
“Estou sempre preparado para un reto, so I’m really excited about this opportunity. I’m definitely ready to compete against another undefeated fighter. I’m coming to show my skills to the world and prove I’m a boxer you have to pay attention to.

“At this point of my career, I want to make a move fast while I’m young. I don’t just want to be a guy with a nice record. I truly believe in my skills and that I can reach the highest level.

“I’ve been getting great help with sparring with the best of the best in Chicago. Sam Colonna, George Hernandez and all the Chicago boxing coaches have been great mentors to me and I am very thankful.”

What do you know about Shelestyuk?
“He was a great amateur fighter and he’s a lefty. That’s pretty much all I need to know. The only thing I can give him is that he has experience, so I’ve got to be careful of that. But it’s nothing new – I’ve seen fighters like that.”

Que tipo de loita esperas?
“I expect him to be a boxer with movement. I think he’ll try to box me. I’ll be coming forward, being aggressive. Logo, we’ll see what his game plan is.”

Cal é a clave para gañar?
“It all depends on the pressure I can apply, throwing the right punches at the right time, the accuracy of my punches. Each punch has to have a purpose. I’m definitely more of a pressure guy. I like Gennady Golovkin’s style, Julio Cesar Chavez is my idol. That is the kind of style I try to fight with.”

On fighting on ShoBox for the first time?
“I’m definitely excited because I know a lot of people will be watching. Eu non estou nervioso en todo. The cameras, the bright lights, honestamente, I don’t care about. My focus is totally on this fight. This is the type of fight that can open a lot of doors for me.”

Is this your biggest fight and do you feel pressure?
“Si, definitivamente, this is my biggest fight — just for all the doors a win would open for me, all the possibilities. There’s no pressure on me. He’s the one representing his country with the weight on his shoulders. I’ve lost before, but that doesn’t make me an opponent.”

Están cometendo un erro loitando contra ti??
“I feel like they are making a mistake, but I also feel this is going to be a good test for him. I think Taras took the fight more for himself. But if he doesn’t know now about me, he’s going to find out.”

You boxed amateurs for one year and had 25 extremos. Era un 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist with a boatload of amateur accomplishments. How significant is the experience of fighting amateur?
“Persoalmente, para min, the amateurs are not that important at all. It’s all irrelevant once you go pro. I know some great amateur boxers who made it after turning pro, and some who didn’t. It’s a whole different ballgame. As a pro, I believe I’ve fought better guys than he has. I’ve been tested way more than he has. You can’t take away what he did as an amateur, but fighting with the smaller gloves, with no headgear, is totally different.”

Undefeated cruiserweights Constantin Bejenaru (11-0, 4 Kos, 0-1-1 no World Series of Boxing), de Catskill, N.I.. a través de Moldavia, e Steve “Superhome” बुजाज (16-0-1, 11 Kos), de Nova York, will collide in a 10-rounder for the vacant WBC International WBC Continental Americas titles in the co-feature.

The nephew of popular former two-time lightweight world champion Acelino “Bumbum” Freitas, invicto leve Vitor Jones Freitas (12-0, 1 ND, 6 Kos), de Salvador, Bahía, Brasil, será oposto polo favorito dos fans locais Manuel Méndez (12-1-2, 8 Kos), de Indio, Calif., in an eight-round bout in the opening match of the telecast.

A 5-foot-10 up-and-coming rising star, Shelestyuk, de Os Ánxeles, está clasificado no. 9 pola WBO e Non. 13 no WBA. Shelestyuk, who is making his second ShoBox start, media 85 punches a round en route to winning his ShoBox debut with a 10-round division over Aslanbek Kozak en novembro. 6, 2015.

 

The dedicated, hard-working Shelestyuk, who is trained by Eric Brown and spars a few days a week with former world champion Shane Mosley, at Wild Card West in Santa Monica, Calif., possesses solid skills, poder movemento e socos.

 

Shelestyuk was a member of a vaunted 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team that included featherweight gold medalist Vasyl Lomachenko and heavyweight gold medalist Oleksandr Usyk. The 30-year-old feels he’s still about a year away from competing against the best at 147 pounds and that he first must get by Herrera. But Mosley claims Shelestyuk reminds him of a bigger Lomachencko and believes he’s already ready for the top names in the welterweight division.

 

Herrera (15-3-1, 8 Kos), de Chicago, Ill., has defeated unbeaten prospects in four of last nine fights and is 8-1-1 en xeral desde xullo 2012.

 

Shelestyuk, Brown and Mosley spoke to SHOWTIME after a recent workout. Here’s what they said:

 

TARAS SHELESTYUK:

What are your thoughts going into the fight?
"Estou moi emocionado. It’s been six months since my last fight. It’s my first headline fight and hopefully not my last one.

 

“I’ve been putting in a lot of work in my training camp with my trainer Eric Brown, and with my physical conditioning coach. My opponent is a tough fighter. He’s had some good fights with guys like Mike Jones, Egidijus Kavaliauskas and a couple of other big guys. He likes to fight and I think it will be a good fight and a good matchup for our styles.”

 

You’re now a ranked fighter; are you happy with the pace of your progression?

“I’m happy with my progression but of course I want to fight bigger names in championship fights and all of that. I know it’s coming soon. I enjoy my way of training and developing my skills, but if you see your dream you do anything to reach it and don’t let anything get in your way.’’

 

What do you think of the welterweight division?

“It’s a very good division because there are a lot of fighters, but some don’t want to fight each other (very often). There are some very good championship fights to be made and hopefully I will be one of them.”

 

Why did you chose to move to Southern California?

“Ben, [risas] mainly because if the great weather, but this is also a good area with a lot of good fighters and a lot of good trainers as well. When I first moved here my manager invited me out and showed me around and I got in the gym right away. I was training with Ruslan Provodnikov and got some sparring in with him before a fight that he had and next thing you know, two weeks later I had my pro debut and now three-and-a-half years later here I am.’’

 

Is there pressure on you when you fight?

“I wouldn’t say I feel pressure because everyone around me is supporting me, they believe in me and I believe in them. My team believes in me and I trust them. I just want to do what I do in the ring, mellor. I want to do better for me, for my family and for my friends.’’

 

Do you follow your Olympic teammates?

“I watch fights of the Ukrainian Olympic Team, and I enjoy when the other guys win. We support each other and we call each other. It is good for there to be more Ukraine fighters who are champions now. Ano, I hope to be one of them.”

 

How did it feel going 10 roldas para a primeira vez?

“Last year in November I had my first 10-round fight on ShoBox, I fought with a strong guy and he gave me a very good fight. I went the 10 rounds and I felt like I could still go two more. I am ready for 10, para 12, non importa. I feel much better, much more powerful. I have more speed than I had in my last fight, tamén”.

 

How did you end up training with Eric?

“I trained with Freddie Roach for about two and a half years when I met Eric at Wild Card West Gym. I started sparring with some of his guys there. After my fight with Rodriguez on ESPN in 2015 I asked Eric to train me and we started working. Now that I’ve fought two fights with him as my trainer, I feel my boxing skills are better, I feel more powerful and I enjoy training in his gym.

 

“All of the trainers help us and they give us advice. On the days I spar with Shane Mosley he stops and gives me some advice. I learn a lot from him, being the fighting legend that he is. I grew up watching him fight as a kid and respect what he’s able to teach me. Then the next time I try what he has taught me and it works.”

 

Boxing is in your blood; your dad and brother boxed. When you were younger, did you think you were going to become a fighter?

"Non, but my father pushed me in a lot of sports. I did gymnastics, soccer for five years, and played chess. I fought as a kid but it was always friendly. I always enjoyed the training aspect. To train for soccer sometimes my father and I would run barefoot in the snow and I enjoyed it. Así, as a kid, when I first stepped into the boxing gym, it was just so much fun.’’

Your ShoBox fight falls on your father’s birthday; do you have a special present in mind for him?

“It makes me want to get the victory for him. On his day, he will be sitting and watching my fight so I want to get that victory for him, for my family and for the Ukraine.’’

 

ERIC BROWN, Shelestyuk’s trainer

What kind of camp has Taras had has had and what do you see happening o venres?

“I see a lot of progression in Taras. When we first started working together, one of the things was that Taras always had great boxing ability, but he wasn’t a great finisher. I don’t know if he was gun shy or what it was but he had a tendency of using his talent to get people in trouble but then he would stand back and let them get back in the fight. Así, what we’ve been working on a lot more is getting him to become a better finisher and recognize when he has his man in trouble and how to seize the moment, without being reckless at the same time. He’s improving at a fast pace.

 

“A lot of guys from Ukraine seem to have similar tendencies because they have long amateur careers and they start picking up bad habits that we need to correct. Taras had a little bit of that in him but he seems to be making the adjustments very well. He’s an extremely hard worker and you often have to tell him to slow down, you never have to tell him to do more.”

 

Where do you see him in his career as a welterweight?

“It’s a great division. I’d say that Keith Thurman tops it without a doubt now but there are good fighters like Shawn Porter too. If Mayweather decided to come back, I think he would be all over this division again. Canelo is a good super welterweight, but he’s too busy worrying about catch-weights. Undoubtedly in another year, I think Taras will be right there with the best of them. He’s got a lot of talent, great versatility, great hand speed and foot speed and he’s a good puncher. Not a devastating knockout puncher but a great puncher nonetheless with both hands.’’

 

SHANE MOSLEY, O ex Campión do Mundo

How has it been working with Taras and how did you become involved in his training?

“I have been sparring with Taras and he’s looking really sharp. I’ve been sparring with him for about four or five months now pretty consistently because a lot of guys won’t spar with him. Guys are worried that he will make them look bad; he’s so technical and sharp that they don’t want to spar with him. Así, I go in there with him a lot. It’s hard to get people to spar with him.’’

 

Where do you see him in the welterweight division?

“He’s on that championship path, that level, but I think once he gets there, he’ll get more sparring partners and will get even better. He really is a world champion, a world-class fighter. He reminds me of a bigger Lomachenko, sparring with him is just like that. I see him as a top welterweight champion. The way he throws his combinations, he’s a smart boxer who works out very hard. He’s at the gym every single day, whether he’s sparring or not, whether he has some training to do or not. He’ll even be here by himself just moving around and staying sharp. His work ethic is really, realmente forte.

 

How do you like working with Taras?

“I like Taras and I enjoy working with him. He’s extremely dedicated and that’s hard to find. I like Taras’ work ethic, his personality, how he takes to boxing. He loves this sport and he wants to be the best. He doesn’t like to lose, even in sparring. I’m impressed with him. When I sparred with him for the first time I was very impressed at his swing, his power, his ring accuracy, his IQ of boxing. I was impressed with how hard he worked and his willingness to learn.’’

 

Do you find it unusual for guys to be as dedicated as Taras at this point in their careers?

“It’s unusual in the sense that a lot of fighters want to learn from the top guys but it seems to me with Taras that it’s not fake. He truly does want to learn about boxing so that he can be the best. He wants to become a world champion and is working to become one of the best. If you put Taras in the ring with any big name today and I’d say he would take the victory. He has a sound mind. He has the mentality to be at the top. He’s serious about being the world champion, about being the top fighter. He’s serious about winning and he’s going to take it all the way to the end. If you put this guy against Thurman, I’d go with him. I think he beats Thurman right now.’’

TARAS SHELESTYUK VS. JAIME HERRERA – 10-Round Welterweight Main Event

Taras Shelestyuk (pronounced “TARE-as SHELL-es-took) media 85 punches per round in his ShoBox debut last November, winning an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Aslanbek Kozak. In his most recent start and lone outing this year last Maio 20, the 5-foot-10, 30-year-old Shelestyuk knocked out Erick Martínez in the third round at Ontario, Califa.

 

“My training is going great, I am more powerful and my speed is better,” said the former international standout. “Herrera is a rough fighter, but it doesn’t matter to me because I am looking to step up and get into championship level fights.’’

 

Shelestyuk, who is trained by Eric Brown at Wild Card West, possesses solid skills, poder movemento e socos. Since turning pro in March 2013 he has exclusively campaigned in the United States. Many from the outstanding 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team became immediate prospects as professionals, including Lomachenko, who won a featherweight world championship in just his third fight on SHOWTIME. Agora, it’s Shelestyuk’s turn to step up to the plate.

 

“I follow the 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team, and all the guys are doing very well and I’m happy for them,’’ said Shelestyuk, who went 300-15 na afeccionados. “But I do not compare my results with anybody else because I have my own career and my own path to a championship belt, and I am enjoying this journey.”
Herrera, un profesional desde decembro 2009, seems to be a legitimate test for Shelestyuk. Herrera has won three straight, defeated undefeated prospects in four of last nine fights, e é 8-1-1 overall since dropping a decision to Adrian Granados en 2012. One of those wins was an upset knockout of one-time highly ranked welterweight and world title challenger Mike “Machine Gun” Jones en agosto. 23, 2014.

 

“Taras is a great fighter and I know I’m the underdog, but I’ve surprised some fighters before and I’m confident and ready to give it my best and win again,” said Herrera. “I’m coming into this fight with the same mentality I had in those fights against the other unbeaten guys. The way I see it, Taras has everything to lose and I fight as I have nothing to lose.’’

 

“I’ve been training very seriously and I’m excited to be able to showcase my skills on television. I grew up watching ShoBox. There will be more eyes on me and they will see my ability to fight. Getting a win will increase my ranking and open up more doors for my career.”

 

CONSTANTIN BEJENARU VS. STIVENS BUJAJ – 10-Round Cruiserweight Bout

Bejenaru (pronounced “bay-zhin-nah-ROO”) was an accomplished amateur. The southpaw boxed on the Romanian national team for 10 anos e foi nove veces campión nacional.

 

Na súa ShoBox premiere last Abril 15, the active and athletic native of Ungheni, Moldavia, scored a unanimous eight-round decision over previously unbeatenAlexey Zubov (10-0), un antigo campión ruso afeccionado e sete veces campión de Europa afeccionado.

 

Bejenaru is anxious to return to ShoBox and continue his winning ways. “Bujaj is a great boxer, we are both undefeated but there can only be one victor, and I do not plan on losing this fight,'' Dixo el. “I entered this fight with the intention of winning. That is what I train to do, that is what I am going to do.

 

“As a man who has been boxing for over 22 anos, I feel extremely grateful to have been given this opportunity. In my previous ShoBox loita, I was labeled as the underdog. Those who doubted me quickly changed their opinions once they saw me fight, and even more so once the referee raised my hand in victory.’’

 

बुजाज (pronounced “Boo-ha”) was born in Kelmend, Albania, but relocated to the Bronx, New York at an early age. The unbeaten prospect was a two-time New York Golden Gloves Champion at heavyweight who’s made for good fights every time out and mostly made it look easy. This is Bujaj’s third scheduled 10-round start, while Bejenaru will be making his 10-round debut.

 

The 26-year-old has won his last four in a row, incluíndo a súa última dúas por nocaute, since boxing a split 10-round draw in a slugfest with then-undefeated three-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion Júnior Wright (10-0) en maio 2014.

 

“I’m getting prepared,’’ said Bujah who’s coming off a first-round TKO over previously undefeated beaten Sergio Ramirez (11-0) en Xuño 11. “I’m training like this is a world title fight, and I’m totally ready to win. I know my opponent is undefeated and I can’t overlook him. Como me sinto, I’m on my ‘A’ Game. I was training in Las Vegas and now I am back in New York with Sharif Younan and I am ready to do everything I can to win this fight.

 

“This is the exposure and opportunity I’ve been waiting for. I just want to pick up these WBC titles that we are fighting for and be bumped up the rankings. Once I pick up these belts, I will be in the top 10 and anything is possible.’’

 

VITOR JONES FREITAS VS. MANUEL MENDEZ – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout

The nephew of popular former two-time lightweight world champion Acelino “Popo” Freitas has been victorious in 12 consecutive bouts since fighting a No-Contest in his pro debut in July 2012. He’s coming off a fifth-round TKO over Rodolfo Franz último Maio 21.

 

Two outings ago, Freitas captured the Brazilian lightweight crown with a 10-round decision over Sidney Siquiera. This will Freitas’ sixth U.S. comezo; his last five fights were in Brazil.

 

“My uncle had many great fights on SHOWTIME and on Novembro. 4, I am looking to carry on his legacy,” Freitas said. “This will be another step in following in his footsteps to become a world champion.’’

 

Mendez, who is trained by the respected Joel Díaz, is coming off a fourth-round knockout over Erick Martinez this past Sept. 23 en Ontario. Mendez used a strong, bruising style in which he mixed his punches well to punish Martinez. The 5-foot-8, 26-year-old Mendez has gone 12-0-2 since getting stopped in his pro debut in October 2010.

 

“I am excited about this opportunity to fight on ShoBox,’’ said Mendez who is a sparring partner for Ruslan Provodnikov e Timothy Bradley. “I know with a win, my career will escalate to a new level. I am looking to knock out Vitor.”

MIAMI, Okla. (Sete. 24, 2016) – On a night when undefeated heavyweight Trey Lippe Morrison won his television debut and Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk e Ivan "O Volk" Golub permaneceu invicto, medio-pesados Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic regained his winning ways by registering a fifth-round knockout over previously unbeaten Travis Peterkin no evento principal dun ShoBox: A Nova Xeración quadrupleheader vivir ALTURA DE COMEZAR Venres a partir de Buffalo Run Casino en Miami, Okla.

 

Facendo súa ShoBox debut and first start since suffering his lone defeat on a disputed decision to Marcus Browne, a motivated Kalajdzic (22-1, 15 Kos) de St. Petersburg, Fla., dropped Peterkin (16-1-1, 7 Kos), of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, N.I., two times in the fifth before the fight was stopped at 1:32.

 

Other televised results: Baranchyk (12-0, 10 Kos), de Brooklyn, N.I., took a 10-round unanimous decision over Wang Zhimin (7-1, 3 Kos, 7-1 WSB), of Nutley, N.J. by way of Ningbo, China, no ShoBox co-metragem; immensely popular local favorite and son of the late former world heavyweight champion, Tommy "The Duke" Morrison, peso-pesado Trey Lippe Morrison (12-0, 12 Kos) demolished previously unbeaten Ed Latimore (13-1, 7 Kos), de Pittsburgh, Pa., Marcar 2:19, first-round TKO; and Ukrainian welterweight Golub (13-0, 11 Kos, 5-0 WSB), de Brooklyn, registered a third-round knockout over James Stevenson(23-3, 16 Kos), de Baltimore, Md.

 

Kalajdzic overwhelmed Peterkin with consistent aggression, superior fighting spirit and better power. El desembarcou 45 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía, Incluíndo 60 percent in the final round. Máis, he led 37-7 in body connects.

 

“The one-dimensional nature of Travis Peterkin cost him big time because he had no answer for Hot Rod’s right hand, and when he threw his own power shots they were ineffective,'' ShoBox analista experto Steve Farhood said afterward. “He was exposed esta noite, and Kalajdzic rejuvenated his career after the loss with Marcus Browne.”

 

A 6-foot-2 native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kalajdzic dropped Peterkin the first time with a right-left combination and finished him with a right-left-right combination. Peterkin fell heavily in a neutral corner, prompting the referee to stop it.

 

“He was a little bit awkward so it took me a little bit to find my range but once I did and I got into a rhythm, I knew he wasn’t going to last,’’ Kalajdzic said. “We have been working on staying patient and finding that range and it showed esta noite.

 

“I wanted to make a statement in this fight and I did. I want the biggest names in the light heavyweight division, but before that I want Marcus Browne again. That is unfinished business for me. If he really thinks he won the fight then let’s do it again. We could fight next week. I’m ready.’’

 

Baranchyk, despite getting cut for the first time in his career (over his left eye in the fifth), gañou polos correas de 100-90 dúas veces e 99-91. Non houbo derrubamentos.

 

The rounds, particularly in the fight’s second half, were competitive. Both fighters landed a high percentage of power shots, 44 percent for Baranchyk, 41 percent for Zhimin, but the difference was that Baranchyk was busier, crisper and physically stronger.

 

Going more than four rounds for the first time, he answered questions about his late-round stamina and feels he is now ready to step up again.

“The 140-pound division is loaded with talent,’’ Baranchyk said. “There are tons of fighters I would love to fight, but there are two guys in particular I’d like to fight next: Maurice Hooker and Abel Ramos. Hooker is with Roc Nation and is above me in the ratings. He’s undefeated and this would be a great fight to prove I’m one of the best up-and-coming guys in this division. I’d love Ramos to fight Ramos too. We are both promoted by DBE and I have heard he called me out. He’s a come forward guy and those are the type of fights I like and that make for great TV.

“I love the fans here in Miami and I love fighting on ShoBox. This was my first time going 10 rounds and I feel great. Of course I would have liked to get the knockout because I always want to put on a spectacular show, but this was a great learning experience for me. He was an extremely tough opponent and I was surprised he was able to take so many big shots. We have been working on being patient and boxing and I was able to show that esta noite.''

 

Wang, who gave his best and never allowed Baranchyk to relax, dito, “I felt a little tight and I couldn’t get my punches off like I wanted to. He was a little too big for me.’’

 

In a performance that lit up the arena, Lippe Morrison dropped Latimore two times and was on the verge of knocking him down again when the referee stepped in and halted matters at 2:19. Morrison decked Latimore the first time with a right hand midway through the first. Momentos despois, Latimore went down again from two rights and a left hook. After a series of shots, the referee stopped it.

 

“You know I have to watch the fight, but I think I did alright,’’ said Morrison after what was supposed to be the most dangerous assignment of his career. “I know I have to be patient and work behind my jab and just take the opening that I see – patiently. Being patient is something I’ve really been working on. I really felt my patience this time.

 

“I didn’t expect it to end this quick. I knew it might, but I didn’t plan on it. It felt good to drop a guy with my left hand. I never had the accuracy or quickness with the left that I do know. I now feel that I am equally adept with both hands. My left is like my right.

 

“To win a fight like this is definitely a relief. I was nervous about the fight, but not about fighting on TV. This was supposed to be my toughest fight on paper and I think I did well.

 

“I feel I may have opened some eyes, but that’s in large part to Freddie Roach. I feel I’m improving thanks to Freddie. I’m throwing quicker, snappier punches and the coordination between my footwork with my hands is way better. All that is because of Freddie.

 

“I wasn’t going for the KO but I’m glad it happened. I could not have done it without Freddie, iso é certo. I’ll be going back to California in a week and then right to the gym.”

 

The knockout was Lippe Morrison’s ninth in the first round. He also has two second-round knockouts and one fourth-round KO in a career that began in February 2014.

 

“We want to see more of Trey Lippe Morrison,'' Farhood dixo. “Let’s let Freddie Roach to do a little bit more of work with him. He had a tremendous pressure on him esta noite, but he did fantastically and he responded very well. He made a big step up in class esta noite and couldn’t have produced a better result: a first-round knockout.”

 

After a competitive, fast-paced first round, Golub took over as Stevenson appeared to tire. A picturesque right hook to the chin dropped and staggered Stevenson, who still wobbly, got up by the count of five, but Golub continued his two-fisted assault, delivered over 20 unanswered punches and the referee stopped it.

 

“To me the guy that stole the show was Golub,", Dixo Farhood. “We keep thinking of him as a boxer but he showed tremendous power esta noite. He knocked out a very sturdy opponent in Stevenson and Baranchyk will benefit tremendously by going 10 rounds. He showed a lot by throwing as many punches as he did late in the fight against an opponent who simply wouldn’t be hurt.’’

 

“I could see from the first round that he was leaving himself wide open when he was coming in,’’ said Golub after his second ShoBox comezo. “I knew it was only a matter of time until I caught him with something really big and I would get him out of there. I’m happy with the performance but know I still have a lot to improve on. Our game plan was to be patient and box and let him come to us. I’m looking forward to getting back in there soon and continuing to climb the ranks of the welterweight division.’’

Below is what the fighters had to say prior to Xoves pesaxe:

 

Radivoje Kalajdzic

“This is my second 10-round fight and it is against another unbeaten southpaw from New York. I’m looking forward to this fight and I’m anxious to look ahead.

 

“I was very upset after my last fight [a controversial decision loss to unbeaten Marcus Browne]. I wasn’t really mad necessarily at myself or my team; it was mostly the referee. Logo, afterward when I saw the reaction from the fans, who totally booed the decision, even took their Marcus Browne T-shirts off, I didn’t feel so badly.

 

"O Venres I want to come in and look great and hopefully stop this guy. I want to look better and cleaner than I did against Browne. I fought OK against Browne, but I should have used my jab more and not allowed him to grab and hold me so much.

 

“I was looking too much to land my right. I know I need to do better at setting it up by jabbing first. And by punching in bunches.

“A big win Venres won’t remove the overall sting of my last fight; nothing can erase the result. But since Browne doesn’t want to give me a rematch, I’m not going to just chase him. I have to move ahead.

 

“Against Peterkin, I want to keep it simple – jab, move and use the right hand. I need to keep him on the end of my punches. It looks like he comes at you but I’m going to come at him, moi, in a smart way. I want to try and get inside, smother him. I never got that chance against Browne because of all the holding.

 

“Peterkin is undefeated, durable and coming to win. I expect a very tough fight. But everything is going according to plan. I had about sixth months of preparation. The errors I made in my last fight have been fixed. They won’t happen again. I have an opportunity in this fight to erase all the bitter memories of my last fight.’’

 

TRAVIS Peterkin

“Making 175 pounds is OK. I can make the weight with no problem. So weight is no issue. If there was a weight class at 185, I’d probably be in it, pero 175 is fine. Estou preparado.

 

“I watched ‘Hot Rod’ closely against Browne. It was definitely a good fight. I feel Marcus could have won easily if he’d have finished the job in some of the rounds. If he stays outside he wins easily, but he wanted to make a point by going inside.

 

“Now ‘Hot Rod’ gets me, and this is a tremendous opportunity for me. He’s a good fighter and should have a zero there on his losses. He has power and is a decent counter-puncher. But we’ve prepared for him. Estamos chegando a gañar, box or brawl. This has been one of my best camps in a long time. I’m confident of a win.

 

“The key is controlling what goes on in the ring, be smart and listen to my corner. I feel this is definitely the toughest fight for me, and for him, moi.

 

“’I’m looking forward to the fight and the opportunity to make a name for myself at 175. It’s been a long journey, but if I can be myself and do what I came here to do, I’ll be fine.’’

 

Oy BARANCHYK

“This is like a second home for me, fighting in Miami. I like the people. They seem to like me. Venres should be an exciting night for everybody.

 

“My last two fights have ended quickly but I always train and plan to go 10 rounds. I never try for one-round knockouts. I look forward to the time when I can show off a little more of my boxing and overall skills. I do have patience.

 

“I think my opponent is very good and has a lot of experience. He’s better than the last two fighters I fought. I feel this fight could go some rounds. But I have power, so we’ll see.

 

“I work very hard in the gym. I spar 10 rounds every day. I got to spar a few rounds with Danny Garcia for this fight. Training with a world champion like him was a tremendous learning experience and it helped me a lot. I hope some of it shows o venres.''

 

WANG ZHIMIN

“I want to thank everyone for this chance to fight. I’m prepared for everything. My opponent is a very experienced boxer with a good reputation. This is definitely a step up and my biggest fight.

 

“I can promise you one thing: We’ll put on an exciting show for you.

 

“My goal is to ultimately be fighting for a world title. It takes a lot of time, patience and work inside the gym.

 

“I’m known for my aggressiveness but I’m constantly working on boxing more. I feel I’ve improved a lot since I was an amateur.

 

“So I’m ready for this fight. He may be a big puncher but I don’t look at his numbers. This is a solid matchup, a crossroads fight and a good opportunity for both of us.’’

 

TREY LIPPE MORRISON

“This is a real, significant step up for me but I have to approach it like I always do.

 

“Moving to Hollywood [Calif.] was a big change for me, but it meant I could train with Freddie Roach. He boosted my confidence just by the fact he agreed to take me on. So he must have seen something.

 

“There are so many things we work on: anel generalato, footwork, things to look for, stuff to avoid.

 

“This is a tough fight for both of us, a dangerous test. Latimore is definitely my toughest opponent so far.

 

“I know a lot of people are interested in watching me and seeing how I do because of my dad. But as I go on, they’ll see I’m my own person.

 

“Fighting here again at the Buffalo Run is always exciting but a ring is a ring; there is no home field advantage. I certainly appreciate the fans’ support but I can’t think about it.

 

“One of these days I’ll fight someone who can take my shots. It might be Latimore, but if it happens, I’ll be ready for it. As for me taking a shot, I’ve been rocked in sparring but not in a live fight.

 

“Hurting my right hand in my last fight was a real blessing. I knew I always had power in it but now I have speed and accuracy to go along with it. My hand hasn’t given me any problems at all in training. So I don’t think about it. If I hurt it again, I’ll just deal with it and fight on.’’

Freddie Roach, Morrison’s Trainer

“I was supposed to be in the Philippines, but I’m very close with Manny Pacquiao and I told him, ‘Listen, Manny, I’m going to be a week late because I have a big fight with Trey coming up,’ and he said, ‘I’ll see you in a week. Get the win.’

“We are a 100 por cento listo. We have great sparring partners. We’ve done great work and I know he’s coming from a broken hand and he hasn’t fought in a while, but his strengthening and conditioning is going really well. This is going to be a great fight and I expect him to be at his best. [Looking at Ed Latimore] You are going to feel his power.

“Trey has very good power and breaking his hand helped him. We got to develop both hands and now he has knockout power in both hands.

“Ed Latimore is a very difficult opponent, but I think Trey will beat him.’

ED LATIMORE

“My whole goal is to be totally calm, relaxed and in control. It’s not a physical or mental thing.

 

“I feel I’ve come a long way and I’m improving all the time. There were times when I was overthinking in the ring, but no more. I work on technique each and every day; my work ethic is impeccable.

 

“I’ve become such a better student of boxing. When I first started watching, I thought it was boring. Then I learned how to watch, and began to notice the subtle things going on. I now know what I’m looking at when I watch films and I see things totally different than I did before. Now I know what to do with what I learn.

 

“I may be small for a heavyweight but I’m never going to be one of those big guys so I do not put a lot of emphasis on size. If you can fight, you can fight. I work on developing skills. Punching power comes from technique and repetition, not always from size.

 

“I’m looking forward to a good fight. I have to stay composed. Morrison likes to come right out at you but I’m not planning to just let him come at me like he did his other opponents. I have something I plan to do that will give him something to think about.

 

“Fighting him is huge for me. His name means a lot. He’s the toughest guy I’ve fought. But I don’t think about my emotions and fighting in his hometown. We knew what we were getting into and there’s nothing we can do about it. There are things that are beyond your control.

 

“I’m still in school, majoring in physics, but I took a semester off. Logo, this opportunity came along. No way I could do both right now. I enjoy how far I’ve come in boxing. I think the hard work is paying off.

 

“I’m confident I’ll win Venres. It’s going to be a great.’’

IVAN Golub

“I’ve been working mainly on my inside game and setting down on my punches lately. I know Stevenson is a good boxer, a slick guy who knows what do to. I have to try and stay patient, work the jab, work the body and put on pressure.

 

“In the amateurs it was more about points. Winning was OK with points but in the U.S. you need more than that.

 

“My mindset going into every fight is on going the distance. I’m looking forward to fighting Stevenson. Besides his boxing ability, he takes a good shot.

 

“This will be a real test for me, my toughest test. I’m a natural 160 but can make welterweight easily. It’s been a good camp for me.’’

 

JAMES STEVENSON

“I think my opponent is probably taking me lightly. But he’s going to see a different me. I’m looking at this as a must-win, can-win fight. The birth of my daughter recently totally woke me up. It made me realize it was time to straighten up, stop running the streets and totally focus on my job. I have to take care of her. The added responsibility made me change my ways.

 

“So this training camp has been totally different than any I’ve had before. I’m really prepared. I didn’t come here to run, Estou benvida para gañar. I’m certainly not here to be anyone’s opponent.

 

“It’s been crazy in my hometown. The whole city of Baltimore is behind me, and that is very exciting. Venresis the most important fight ever for me and I am looking forward to it.

 

“I’m confident I can be the first to defeat Golub.’’

GORDON HALL, Senior Vice President of Production, Showtime Sports & Productor executivo,ShoBox: A Nova Xeración

"Mañá night we have eight fighters with a total combined record of 114-3-1. We have undefeated fighters facing each other. Tiñamos 151 fighters fight on ShoBox, and lose that 0. Mañá noite, on the second matchup of the night, we have two undefeated heavyweights. Trey Lippe Morrison’s father may have been Tommy, but we are not here because he’s Tommy’s son. We are here because we believe that Trey Lippe Morrison can fight and he’s taking a big step up in taking on Ed Latimore. It’s a big fight for both fighters and I credit them for taking the matchup.

 

“Ivan Golub had 300 loitas afeccionadas. É un loitador consumado, we had him once before on ShoBox and he’s taking on James Stevenson, a veteran fighter, who’s not coming here to lose.

 

“Ivan Baranchyk, the adopted son of Buffalo Run Casino here in Miami. He’s one of the fighters you want to pay to see. He’s all action. His skill level is A-plus and Wang Zhimin knows that and he’s not afraid.

 

“The main event, Rod Kalajdzic vs. Travis Peterkin is the one to watch out for. Kalajdzic loss on his record against Marcus Browne is debatable to those who saw the fight. Travis Peterkin is undefeated, so for me this is a fight of two undefeated fighters in the light heavyweight division, which has Adonis Stevenson, Andre Ward, Sergey Kovalev. It’s a hot division and looking for new blood and hopefully we’ll see it heremañá noite. "

A Nova Xeración: Lippe-Morrison ready for ShoBox debut

Leave a comment

 

Miami, ESTÁ BEN (Setembro 22, 2016) – As the son of popular former heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison, Trey Lippe-Morrison’s name alone generates attention.

 

A quick glance at the Oklahoman’s record shows that all 11 of his victories came by knockout, 10 inside of two rounds. Those who dug deeper into Lippe-Morrison’s career will see that he’s trained by legendary Freddie Roach at Wildcard Boxing Club in Los Angeles, TAL. On the contrary, his critics note that his name alone generated the buzz rather than his knockouts and many second generation boxers didn’t meet expectations.

 

O Venres evening at the Buffalo Run Casino, Lippe-Morrison looks to make his TV debut a successful one when he battles fellow unbeaten Ed “Black Magic” Latimore. The bout opens a quadrupleheader on Shobox: The New Generation and is scheduled for 6 rounds. Latimore, 13-0 (7 KO), owns amateur wins over former heavyweight champion Charles Martin and 2012 US Olympian Dominic Breazeale. The Pittsburgh, PA native will be Lippe-Morrison’s toughest test to date and he believes the heavy interest in this fight will only elevate his career when he emerges victorious.

 

“This is a difficult fight for Trey,"Dixo Tony Holden, Lippe-Morrison’s promoter. “Latimore is undefeated and had a good amateur background. He and his team believe this fight will opens doors for him. The interest in this fight is extremely high not just because of whom Trey is but also since there are two unbeaten American heavyweight squaring off early in their careers. The winner is definitely worthy of being considered a top up and coming heavyweight.”

 

Lippe-Morrison is a member of Holden Productions’ “Four State Franchise” and fought 9 da súa 11 fights at the Buffalo Run Casino, a venue he’s helped sell out multiple times. With the hometown advantage and flawless start to his pro career, Lippe-Morrison knows there will be pressure on him but believes he’s ready to handle it.

 

“There is a little bit of added pressure,” the 26-year-old said of fighting on TV. “There are of course the people that want to see me on the same level at my father but some of it is brought on by me. My team and I believe I’m ready for this. I’ve been getting a lot better and learning every day under Freddie Roach. Freddie says I’m prepared for the step up and he has full confidence in me. Now I’ve got to go out and perform.”

 

The quadrupleheader airs live on Showtime at 10 PM ET and also features Ivan “The Volk” Golub against James “Keep em’ Sleepin” Stevenson, Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk vs Zhimin Wang and Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic taking on “Notorious” Travis Peterkin.

 

Tickets are sold out and this excellent evening of boxing is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Holden Productions in association with Fight Promotions Inc. and Roc Nation Sports.
