Woon op Showtime® by 10 namiddag. EN/PT

NEW YORK (Sewe. 21, 2016) - Trey Lippe Morrison is 11-0 met 11 uitklophoue. Hy is die seun van die oorlede voormalige swaargewigwêreldkampioenTommy "The Duke" Morrison. 'n Grove, Okla., moedertaal, Trey woon in Hollywood, Kalifornië., en word opgelei deur Freddie Roach by Wild Card Gym.

 

Dit Vrydag, Sewe. 23, Morrison maak sy langverwagte televisiedebuut wanneer hy mede-onoorwonne en Roc Nation-vooruitsigte in die gesig staar Ed Latimore (13-0, 7 Uitklophoue), van Pittsburgh, Pa., in die tweede aanval van a ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie quadrupleheader woon op Showtime (10 namiddag. EN/PT, vertraag op die Weskus) uit Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Okla.

 

Morrison, wat blyk 27 op Sewe. 27, het agt eersteronde-uitklophoue aangeteken, twee tweede ronde uitklophoue en een vierde ronde KO in 'n loopbaan wat in Februarie begin het 2014. Hy het 'n treffende ooreenkoms met sy oorlede pa in die gesig, liggaamsgewys en met sy vegstyl, dra rooi, wit en blou slurpe met "TOMMY" oor die gordel geskryf. Hy het al sy gevegte behalwe een in Oklahoma geveg; dit is syne 10ste begin by Buffalo Run.

 

'n Gewilde lid van Holden's Four State Franchise-stal, die 6-voet-2 Morrison veg vir die eerste keer sedert hy 'n operasie aan sy regtersening ondergaan het weens 'n besering wat hy in sy mees onlangse geveg opgedoen het, 'n vierde ronde TKO oor Thomas Hawkins laaste Jan. 23.

 

Hieronder is wat Morrison en Roach gesê het oor Trey se stryd teen LatimoreVrydag, sy opkomende loopbaan, lewe buite die ring, herinneringe aan sy vader, saam met Freddie en meer:

“Ek gaan hierdie geveg teen Latimore benader net soos ek my eerste benader het 11 gevegte,'' het Morrison gesê voor die geskeduleerde ses-ronde-wedstryd. “Ek het baie selfvertroue en baie nuwe vaardighede opgedoen, en ek is net geëerd om hulle te kan vertoon. Om op SHOWTIME te wees is net ’n groot bonus.”

 

Morrison se gedagtes oor Ed Latimore ...

"Ek het 'n bietjie video gekyk. Hy is regtig soortgelyk aan my. Die manier waarop hy heeltyd sy kop skud en 'n regte aggressiewe vegter is en altyd na vore kom. Dit is amper asof ek teen 'n kloon van myself veg. Hy het soort van daardie Mike Tyson-styl, en dit is wat ek verwag om te sien. As hy nie so na my toe kom nie, dan sal ek ’n wedstrydplan moet hê vir iets anders.”

 

Is Latimore jou moeilikste geveg tot nog toe? …

“O, ja. Seker. 100 persent. Sy rekord sê alles [13-0, 7 Uitklophoue]. Hy is atleties. Van net wat ek van sy vorige gevegte gesien het, hy sal die taaiste ou wees wat ek tot dusver geveg het.”

 

Op die besering wat hy in sy laaste geveg opgedoen het ...

“Ek voel soos dit is 100 persent genees. Dit was soort van 'n fratsongeluk. Ek het 'n uppercut gegooi en dit het hom in die harde deel van sy kop getref. Vandat ek my handskoen daarop kon sit, dit was nie ’n probleem nie.”

 

Wat is die sleutels tot hierdie stryd? …

“Ek dink jy vind altyd die sleutels binne die eerste paar rondes van die geveg. Dis wanneer jy iemand uitvind. Ek reken ek gaan net geduldig wees, en wag vir my skoot en wanneer dit kom, vat dit.”

 

Tommy was bekend as 'n linkse haker, jy is bekend vir 'n sterk regterhand? Het jy meer aan jou linkerkant gewerk toe jy langs die kantlyn was? …

 

“O, Ja. Geweldig. Ek sou sê dat ek seergekry het 'n seën was. Ek dink dit het my meer gehelp as wat dit my seergemaak het. Ek kon regtig ontwikkel en my linkerhand skerp maak. So op die oomblik voel ek my linkerhand is net so dodelik soos my regterhand. Ek is vol vertroue dat ek nou alles met my linkerkant kan doen wat ek met my regterkant kan. Ek was voorheen meer van 'n regterhandige vegter omdat my linkerhand nog nie so ontwikkel was nie. My tydsberekening en my spoed was voorheen nie heeltemal daar met my linkerkant nie, maar nou is ek goed met albei.”

 

Om saam met Freddie Roach te werk...

“Ek werk nou al sowat ’n jaar saam met Freddie. Ek woon in Wes-Hollywood; reg klap in die middel van al die gekheid. Maar ek bly weg van dit alles. Ek is meer 'n kluisenaar. As ek nie oefen nie, Ek is by die huis. Ek gaan regtig nie baie uit nie. Ek hou regtig net daarvan om soms alleen te wees en by my plek te wees. Ek het nie baie stokperdjies nie. Ek sou sê ek is 'n nerd. Ek speel graag videospeletjies saam met my vriende aanlyn.”

 

Hoe het jy by Freddie beland?

“Ek het oorspronklik hierheen verhuis om mee te oefen Jesse Reid. Hy het besluit hy wil 'n skuif na Las Vegas maak, en dit was net nie 'n skuif nie my promotor, Tony Holden, en ek gaan maak. Aangesien ek reeds hier was, Tony het 'n middagete gehad met Freddie wat ingestem het om na my te kyk. So ek het ’n private sessie met hom gehad en daarna het hy gesê hy sal bereid wees om saam met my te werk.”

 

Hoeveel het jy onder Freddie se wakende oog geleer? …

“Ek het so baie geleer — waarskynlik alles. En enigiets waarmee ek voorheen goed was, hy het dit geslyp. Ek sal hom seker volle krediet gee vir alles. Die ouens met wie ek gespaar het, het my ook baie geleer. Dit het my regtig op elke moontlike manier gehelp.”

 

Het jy op hoërskool sport gespeel? …

“Ek het sokker gespeel, basketbal en baan. Ek het vaskop en verdediging in sokker gespeel en ek het die hekkies gehardloop en die skoot en skyf gegooi. Ek het vier jaar universiteitsvoetbal aan die Universiteit van Sentraal-Arkansas gespeel. Ek het daar verdedigend gespeel. Ek het 'n paar pro-spanne gehad wat na my kyk, maar ek het my senior jaar opgemors en uiteindelik uit die span geskop. Ek het 'n paar slegte besluite geneem, om net 'n dom universiteitskind te wees, en dit het daartoe gelei. Toe boks ter sprake gekom het, dit was vir my soos 'n tweede kans.

 

“Ek was nie gereed vir my atletiekloopbaan om verby te wees nie. Sokker het vir my geëindig omdat ek slegte besluite geneem het. Ek moes vertel word dat ek nie goed genoeg is vir my om aan te beweeg en uit te gaan en 'n gewone werk te kry nie. Ongeveer dieselfde tyd wat gebeur het, my pa is oorlede. My ma het vir my gesê dat Tony Holden 'n casino in die volgende dorp gehad het vanwaar ek hoërskool toe gegaan het. Ek het hom nog nooit vantevore ontmoet nie, maar ons het uitgegaan en lekker oor my pa gesels. So ek het die vraag aan hom gestel en gevra of hy my sou help om in boks te kom. Hy het gesê absoluut nie. Ek het vir hom gesê ek gaan dit 'n kans gee, want ek kon nie atletiek prysgee nie. Hy het my teruggeroep drie dae later."

 

Voel jy druk om die seun van Tommy Morrison te wees? …

"Ja. Ek dink daar is baie druk op my om goed te doen, en ek dink dit het die eerste paar gevegte regtig op my geweeg. Dit gaan altyd daar wees. Maak nie saak met wie ek baklei nie, of hoe goed ek doen, hulle gaan my altyd met my pa vergelyk. Ek moet dit net hanteer. Daar is beslis druk, maar ek kan dit nou beter hanteer.

 

“Toe ek die eerste keer begin het, mense het my eerste geveg ooit vergelyk met hoe my pa sy loopbaan beëindig het ... met sy beste geveg. So natuurlik gaan ek nie so ooreenstem nie. Ek het geweet dat ek beter sou word en dat ek eendag daar sou kom.”

 

Hoe sal jy jou verhouding met jou pa beskryf? …

“Ek sou sê ons verhouding was fantasties. Ons was groot vriende. Jy weet, ons tyd het kortgeknip, en ons het nie baie tyd saam deurgebring nie. Maar die tyd wat ons gehad het, was ongelooflik. En ons het dit baie gekoester.”

 

Sou jy dink jou pa sal vandag trots wees op jou, in sy voetspore volg?

“Ek dink hy sal trots wees op my. Ek wens hy was hier, want die dinge wat hy sou sê sou my baie help. Ek dink regtig hy sal trots wees.”

 

Hoeveel het jou promotor Tony Holden vir jou beteken?

 

“Ek sou nie gewees het waar ek is sonder hom nie. Ek kan dit nie eers in woorde omskryf nie. Eerlik, as ek sonder hom sou begin boks het, niemand sou weet wie ek was nie. Alles wat ek in boks het, is as gevolg van hom. Ek het hom in Oktober van 2013, twee of drie maande voordat ek by boks betrokke geraak het.”

 

 

Freddie Roach, 'n sewemalige Boksskrywersvereniging van Amerika se afrigter van die jaar en 2012 opgeneem in die International Boxing Hall of Fame, sal in Morrison se hoek wees Vrydag in Miami. Hy het gesê Trey is toegewyd, 'n vreugde om mee te werk en het aanhou verbeter. Maar hy bly 'n werk aan die gang.

 

“Trey is ’n baie gawe mens, 'n eenvoudige ou, werklik beleefd soos die meeste boksers.''.

 

“Hy het sy pa se vuishou geërf. Hy is 'n groot puncher. Hy het geleer hoe om te boks en word elke dag beter. Hy probeer hard. Ek hou van die manier waarop hy vorder. Hy hou vas met van die veteraan-ouens hier by die gimnasium en doen baie goed.

 

“Sodra hy leer om 'n bietjie meer te boks, hy gaan baie meer geraas in die afdeling maak. My gedagtes oor die swaargewigte is tans dat dit nie so sterk van 'n afdeling is nie. [Anthony] Joshua is dalk die beste, en daar is 'n paar ander groot name. Maar ek dink die afdeling is meestal wawyd oop vir ouens wat hart en balle het en gereed is om dit die afstand te vat. Trey is daardie soort kind.''

 

Dit was Roach wat hierdie geveg wou hê. “Sy bestuurder het my gevra of hy gereed is en ek het gesê hy is 100 persent gereed. Latimore is sy moeilikste geveg, maar dit is tyd om op te tree.’’

 

 

In Vrydag se ShoBox hoofren, eens geslaan radivoje Kalajdzic (21-1, 14 Uitklophoue), van St. Petersburg, Fla. sal probeer om sy wenpad te hervat wanneer hy onoorwonne teëkom Travis Peterkin (16-0-1, 7 Uitklophoue), van Brooklyn, N.Y.. in 'n 10-ronde ligte swaargewig afval.

Baranchyk Excited to Impress New Hometown Fans Friday in Miami, OK

Skryf 'n opmerking
Baranchyk.jpg
Miami, OK (September 19, 2016) – When junior welterweight buzzsaw Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk first fought at the Buffalo Run Casino in March, he was not known by locals. Many of the fans packed the venue primarily to support “Four State Franchise” members Kenzie Morrison, Jesse Cook and Dillon Cook. Things however quickly changed.
On that evening, Baranchyk destroyed fellow unbeaten Nicholas Givhan in 21 seconds with a crushing left hook. Presies three months later, Baranchyk returned to the Buffalo Run Casino and had the fans watching him closely. The explosive 23-year-old delivered again, stopping another unbeaten fighter Eliseo Cruz Sesma in less than three rounds. A fighter previously unknown to locals quickly became in demand.
“The fans here fell in love with Ivan,” said Promoter Tony Holden, who has promoted fights for more than 25 jaar. “He’s got a great style that can win over a crowd that may not have known much about him and that’s exactly what he did in his last two fights.”
In Augustus, Holden signed Baranchyk to a co-promotional agreement, working in association with DiBella Entertainment and Fight Promotions Inc.
Now a member of the “Four State Franchise,” Baranchyk looks to run his record to 12-0 met 11 knockouts when he meets 7-0 Zhimin Wang of China in a ten round contest for the USBA junior welterweight title Vrydag aand by die Buffalo Run Casino. The Branchyk-Wang bout takes places on a ShoBox quadrupleheader featuring three other exciting matchups between fighters with a combined record of 96-3-1. The card airs live on Showtime at 10 pm ET and tickets to the fight are sold out.
Met 'n oorwinning, Baranchyk will likely be ranked in the top 15 and move onto bigger fights. Egter, the Brooklyn, NY based Russian is solely focused on entertaining his newfound supporters.
Baranchyk said of his upcoming bout, “I’m excited beyond belief to once again fight on Shobox and in my new hometown of Miami, OK. Hierdie keer (my opponent) is much more serious but I am prepared to fight anyone. I am going to show a high level of boxing and god willing the fight will end early in a knockout.”

NEW YORK (Sewe. 6, 2016) - Ligte swaargewig Radivoje "Hot Rod" Kalajdzic sal onoorwonne southpaw in die gesig staar Travis "The Notorious" Peterkin in die 10-ronde hoofgebeurtenis van 'n gestapelde ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie quadrupleheader op Vrydag, Sewe. 23, woon op Showtime (10 namiddag. EN/PT, vertraag op die Weskus) uit Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Okla.

Die gesamentlike rekord van die agt boksers op die televisiekaart is 114-3-1 met 78 uitklophoue.

Kalajdzic, 25, van St. Petersburg, Fla., en Peterkin, 26, van die Brownsville-gedeelte van Brooklyn, N.Y., sal wees om hul ShoBox debuut en aanvanklike 10-rondte begin.

Dit is Kalajdzic se eerste geveg sedert hy 'n hoogs omstrede en twyfelagtige verdeelde besluit van agt ronde tot onoorwonne verloor het 2012 Olimpiese Marcus Browne laaste April 16 in Brooklyn. Kalajdzic pleit vir 'n herontmoeting met die wêreldgekeurde Browne, maar hy kan die sterkes nie miskyk nie, atletiese Peterkin, wie kom van 'n shutout besluit oor Larry Pryor laaste Maart 30 en is op soek na 'n wegbreek optrede.

In die ShoBox mede-funksie, super liggewig kragbron Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (11-0, 10 Uitklophoue), van Brooklyn, N.Y., staar Roc Nation-vooruitsigte in die gesig Wang Zhimin (7-0, 3 Uitklophoue, 7-1 WSB), van Nutley, N.J. by wyse van Ningbo, China, in 'n 10-ronder vir die vakante USBA 140-pond titel. In 'n geskeduleerde agt-ronde geveg, Oekraïens weltergewig Ivan "Die Volk" Golub (12-0, 10 Uitklophoue, 5-0 WSB), van Brooklyn, neem op James "Keep'em Sleepin" Stevenson (23-2, 16 Uitklophoue), van Baltimore, Md.

Plaaslike gunsteling en seun van die oorlede voormalige swaargewigwêreldkampioen, Tommy "The Duke" Morrison, swaargewig Trey Lippe Morrison (11-0, 11 Uitklophoue) maak sy hoogs verwagte televisiedebuut teen mede-onoorwonne en Roc Nation-vooruitsigte Ed Latimore (13-0, 7 Uitklophoue), van Pittsburgh, Pa., in die ses-ronde televisie-opener.

Kaartjies vir die geleentheid wat deur DiBella Entertainment en Tony Holden Productions in samewerking met Roc Nation Sports bevorder word, is geprys teen $35, $55 en $75 en is beskikbaar bybuffalorun.com en by stubwire.com. (Die $35 kaartjies is uitverkoop).

Kalajdzic (21-1, 14 Uitklophoue), 'n 6 voet-2 boorling van Bosnië en Herzegovina, het in Junie pro geword 2011. Hy het sy eerste 21 gevegte voordat hy teen Browne verloor het in 'n geveg waarin baie gevoel het dat hy maklik gewen het. Browne (18-0) het af en toe 'n harde skoot geland, maar Kalajdzic het blykbaar die geveg beheer met sy krag en ongemaklike styl. Albei boksers het die dek getref, Kalajdzic (van wat na 'n glipsie gelyk het) in die eerste, Browne (duidelik) in die sesde van 'n regterhand na die kop. Die verskil was om krediet te ontvang vir 'n knockdown waarin geen vuishou blyk te wees nie, en die ondersteuners het uitgejou toe die tellings van 76-75, 76-74 en 74-76 aangekondig is.

“Ek is baie opgewonde oor hierdie geveg en dat ek weer op televisie met 'n ander onoorwonne suidpoot veg,"Sê Kalajdzic. “Ek gaan voort waar ek opgehou het met oefenkamp van my vorige geveg, want dit is nog 'n suidpoot, so ek sal meer as voorbereid wees. Hopelik, Peterkin kom baklei en nie drukkies soos my vorige teenstander nie, sodat ons die ondersteuners 'n goeie stryd kan gee.”

Peterkin (16-0-1, 7 Uitklophoue) sou steeds 'n onberispelike rekord hê as dit nie twee punte in 'n meerderheidstrekking van agt ronde verloor het nie 2008 Dominikaanse Olimpiese Lenin Castillo (12-0) op Augustus. 1, 2015 by Barclays Center. Peterkin het 'n punt afgetrek in die vierde vir 'n slaan na die rustyd en in die vyfde vir 'n lae hou. Die tellings was 76-74 en 75-75 twee keer.

Ondanks die loting in sy uitdun voorlaas, Peterkin het dit as die mees bevredigende oomblik van sy lewe beskou. Van 2012-14, hy het kos in die suites by Barclays gevul en bedien. In sy mees onlangse poging, Peterkin het Pryor maklik uitgewys deur die tellings van 80-72 drie keer in New York. Dit sal Peterkin se eerste geveg buite sy tuisstaat wees.

'n Goeie bokser met uitstekende tegniek, Peterkin is deur sy pa aan boks voorgestel, Bernard, 'n 1987 swaargewig Golden Gloves semifinalis, in 2001. Hy het 95-7 in die amateurs; na die wen van die 2010 New York Goue Handskoene, hy het in Januarie pro gegaan 2011.

“Ek was eerste by Hot Rod se laaste geveg. Ek respekteer hom, maar ek het gesien wat sy gebreke is en sal dit uitbuit,” het Peterkin gesê. “Ek verwag 'n oorlog. Brooklyn kom na Oklahoma en ek sal nie teleurstel nie. Op Sewe. 23, grootsheid wink.”

Baranchyk, 'n aanvallende gevegsmasjien, pak uitstaande krag in albei hande. Hy maak sy derde verskyning op ShoBox en derde in 'n ry by Buffalo Run. Sy anderShoBox begin, beide eersteronde-uitklophoue teenoor onoorwonne teenstanders, altesaam 'n gekombineerde2:49.

Die hoogaangeskrewe, all-action Baranchyk geregistreer 'n brutale, twee-pons, 21-tweede stop verby Nicholas Givhan (16-0-1) laaste Maart 25 op ShoBox by Buffalo Run. Hy het 'n aangeteken 2:28, eerste-ronde knockout oor Shadi Shehadeh (9-0-2) in sy ShoBox debuut laaste Desember. 11 in Houston, Texas.

Baranchyk is in Minsk gebore, Wit-Rusland en woon in Brooklyn. Hy het agt agtereenvolgens met uitklophou gewen, insluitend 'n derde ronde TKO oor voorheen onoorwonne Joaquim "Elysium" Kruis (9-0-1) laaste Junie 25 by Buffalo Run. Oorheersend met sy spoed en krag uit die staanspoor, Baranchyk het Cruz in die tweede laat val. Cruz se hoekie het handdoek ingegooi by 1:07 van die derde.

Alle 10 van die 5-voet-7, 23-jarige Baranchyk se uitklophoue het binne drie volle rondes gekom, insluitend ses in die eerste. Hy het geveg 22 rondes in 'n 11-geveg loopbaan. Die enigste keer toe hy die afstand afgelê het, was in sy derde geveg, 'n vierronder in Desember 2014. Baranchyk, 'n voormalige Europese amateur-uitblinker, het in Junie '14 pro geword en 'n paar maande later na die Verenigde State verhuis.

“Ek kon nie meer opgewonde wees om terug te keer nie ShoBox,sê Baranchyk. “Zhimin is 'n baie vaardige vegter en hy sal my taaiste teenstander nog wees. Egter, Ek is van plan om hierdie geveg op vernietigende wyse te beëindig. Ek waarborg jy sal Zhimin op sy rug sien wanneer die geveg verby is. Ek wil ’n boodskap aan die res van die junior weltergewig-afdeling stuur dat ek iemand is om te vrees.”

Zhimin, 30, het in November pro geword 2010 en het agt keer in die WSB deurgeveg 2011. Na 'n afdanking van drie jaar, hy het na die V.S. en het gegaan 7-0. Hy kom van 'n besluit van agt ronde oor Matthew Doherty laaste Junie 11. Zhimin het groot sukses in die WSB gehad, die goud in te wen 2011 in sy geboorteland China, verslaan Yerzhan Mussafirov van Kazakhstan in die strak betwiste liggewig eindstryd. Voor dit, hy het die eindstryd in die Chinese Nasionale Bokskampioenskap in 2010, waar hy 'n silwer medalje ontvang het. In 2012, Hy het 'n ander silwer medalje, hierdie keer by die Erdös Internasionale Boks Kompetisie.

“Dit is vir my ’n eer om deel te wees van hierdie groot geleentheid,” sê Zhimin. “Ek wil die promotors bedank, my span en almal wat my hierdie geleentheid gegee het. My doel is om daardie gordel te kry. Ek weet dit is 'n proses vol uitdagings, maar ek is nie bang vir wat voorlê nie. Ek weet dat ek dit sal maak. Ek het geloof in myself. Ek sal alles doen wat ek kan om myself voor te berei vir hierdie titelkragmeting en die ondersteuners my beste vertoning te gee en die gordel huis toe te bring.”

Golub, 'n 27-jarige wat, op 6 voet, is lank vir 'n weltergewig, het in November pro as middelgewig geword 2012. Aan die begin van sy loopbaan, hy het 5-0 in die WSB. Hy is weg 12-0 sedert, wen 10 deur uitklophou, insluitend sy laaste ses in 'n ry, die laaste drie as weltergewig.

In sy ShoBox debuut, hy het vir die eerste keer in sy loopbaan aan die doek geraak, maar teruggespring om uit te blaas Marlon Waters met 'n reeks kombinasies in die slot sekondes van die sesde. Hy het met TKO gewen.

Golub, 'n suidpoot wat van 'n tweede rondte TKO oor kom Ernesto Ortiz laaste Julie 21, was 'n uitstaande amateur. Hy het 270-32 as 'n amateur, was 'n vyfmalige nasionale kampioen in die Oekraïne en het brons by die 2009 Wêreld Amateurkampioenskappe.

“Stevenson het baie ervaring en ek berei voor vir 'n baie taai stryd,” sê Golub. “Hy is 'n ou wat daarvan hou om op sy vuiste te sit en handel te dryf, wat presies is wat ek wil hê. Sodra hy my krag voel, hy gaan in die moeilikheid wees. Dit sal ’n opwindende stryd wees solank dit duur.”

Stevenson maak syne ShoBox debuut. A pro sedert 2008, hy het sy eerste gewen 21 skraap totdat verloor deur negende-ronde TKO tot dan-onoorwonne Sammy Vasquez op Augustus. 8, 2014. Die geveg was mededingend vir vyf rondes voordat Vasquez oorgeneem het. Stevenson het in die negende geval.

Die 5-voet-11, 33-jarige Stevenson het sedertdien twee-van-drie gewen, insluitend 'n vyfde ronde TKO oor Kevin Womack laaste Mei 14 in sy eerste geveg in 13 maande. 'n Hardslaande bokser-ponser, Stevenson het gesmul aan beskeie opposisie en soek steeds 'n kenmerkende oorwinning.

Stevenson het 'n gerespekteerde rekord opgelewer ten spyte daarvan dat sy loopbaan deur 'n reeks terugslae en tragedies op sy spoor geraak is.. In 2011, tydens 'n roetine draf, 'n hond het hom wreed aangeval, vereis dat Stevenson meer as kry 20 steke. Kort daarna, sy pa James Stevenson Sr. oorlede is, soos sy skoonma.

“Ek waardeer die geleentheid,” sê Stevenson. “Maar hulle het 'n groot fout gemaak en my die tyd gegee om gereed te maak vir hierdie geveg. Ek oefen baie hard en ek kom maak 'n stelling. Ek is nie bang vir Golub nie en ek belowe dit sal nie die verte gaan nie. Ek maak hom aan die slaap.”

Morrison het agt eersteronde-uitklophoue geregistreer, twee tweede ronde uitklophoue en een vierde ronde KO in 'n loopbaan wat in Februarie begin het 2014. Morrison, wat in die gesig 'n treffende ooreenkoms met sy oorlede pa het, liggaamsgewys en met sy vegstyl, draaie 27 opSewe. 27. Hy het al sy gevegte behalwe een in Oklahoma geveg; dit is syne 10ste begin by Buffalo Run.

'n Gewilde lid van Holden's Four State Franchise-stal, die 6-voet-2 Morrison veg vir die eerste keer sedert hy 'n operasie aan sy regtersening ondergaan het weens 'n besering wat hy in sy mees onlangse geveg opgedoen het, 'n vierde ronde TKO oor Thomas Hawkins laaste Jan. 23.

“Ek het so hard gewerk om tot hierdie punt te kom en nou is dit my kans om die wêreld te wys wie ek is. Ek wil SHOWTIME bedank vir die geleentheid,” sê Morrison. “Latimore is vir my 'n groot stap in die klas, maar ek is gereed daarvoor. Sodra ek daardie Oklahoma-aanhangers hoor en die energie in die arena voel, Ek draai 'n skakelaar en dit is go-time. Dit gaan my uitkom-partytjie wees.”

Latimore, wat in fisika op kollege verwerf het, is 'n bokser-ponser wat verwag word om Morrison sy moeilikste toets te gee. Latimore maak syne ShoBox debuut en vierde begin vanjaar. Hy kom van 'n agt-ronde verdeelde besluit oor Juan Goode laaste Julie 15.

Die 6-voet-1, 31-jarige Latimore het in Januarie pro geword 2013. As 'n amateur, hy het die Pennsylvania Golden Gloves gewen, Nasionale PAL en Ringside Kampioenskappe, en het oorwin 2012 Olimpiese Dominic Breazeale en voormalige IBF-swaargewigkampioen Charles Martin.

“Morrison sal 'n ware toets vir my wees,” het Latimore gesê. “Dit is nooit maklik om met iemand in hul agterplaas te veg nie. Ek het pas in my tuisdorp, Pittsburgh, geveg, so ek ken die gevoel wat daarby kom en die momentum op gevegsaand. Ek sien uit daarna om 'n goeie vertoning op te stel vir al die aanhangers in Oklahoma en diegene wat daarna kyk ShoBox."

Lippe-Morrison to make TV debut against Latimore September 23

Skryf 'n opmerking
Tulsa, OK (Augustus 27, 2016) – Heavyweight sensation Trey Lippe-Morrison makes his highly anticipated TV debut when he faces fellow unbeaten Ed Latimore as part of a quadruple header on ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie Vrydag, September 23 by 10 pm ET live from the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK.
Living and fighting out of Tulsa, OK, Lippe-Morrison’s 11-0 met al sy oorwinnings kom deur uitklophou. A member of Holden Productions’ Four State Franchise, the 26-year-old power punching phenom has been out of the ring since January after suffering a hand injury. Under the watchful eye of 7-time BWAA Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach, Lippe-Morrison’s working hard daily towards his goal to become the heavyweight champion of the world like his late father Tommy.
Latimore, 13-0 (7 KO se), is without question the toughest opponent of Lippe-Morrison’s career. Fighting out of the Steel City Pittsburgh, PA, Latimore is fresh off a Julie 15 victory over Juan Goode. Known by his moniker “Black Magic,” Latimore is a former Pennsylvania Golden Gloves, National PAL and Ringside Champion. He also owns amateur victories over 2012 Olympian Dominic Breazeale and former IBF heavyweight kingpin Charles Martin.
"This is a definite step up for Trey but these are the kinds of opponents we need to be fighting on TV,” said Lippe-Morrison’s promoter Tony Holden. “Trey has improved his boxing ability tremendously under Freddie Roach and has dynamic power. Op dieselfde tyd, Latimore is here to spoil the party and was a very good amateur prior to his current run as an unbeaten professional. The fans at the Buffalo Run, where Trey is a favorite, and everybody watching on Showtime are in for exciting fight between two unbeaten heavyweights on the way up, which is a rarity these days.”
Lippe-Morrison and Latimore meet over six rounds.
Brooklyn-based Russian Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk, 11-0 (10 KO se), puts his perfect record on the line against an opponent to be named in a ten round junior welterweight bout. Baranchyk, who scored back to back first round knockouts on ShoBox at the Buffalo Run, is the newest member of the Four State Franchise.
In a ten round light heavyweight affair, “Notorious” Travis Peterkin, 16-0-1 (7 KO se), travels from Brooklyn, NY to face once-beaten contender Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic, 21-1 (14 KO se), van St. Petersburg, FL.
Rounding out the televised portion of the card is fellow Brooklyn-based Russian Ivan “The Volk” Golub, who risks his 12-0 ledger against an opponent TBA over ten rounds in the welterweight division.

ROCHESTER, N.Y.. (Augustus. 20, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller won by third-round TKO over veteran Fred Kassi in the ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie hoofren, Vrydag, woon op Showtime from Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y..

 

Following a cagey first round that favored Kassi (18-5-1, 10 Uitklophoue), Brooklynite Miller (18-0-1, 16 Uitklophoue), turned up the body work and pressure in rounds two and three. After landing 36-of-57 power shots in the third and racking up 30 connects to the body, Kassi retired on the stool between rounds, citing a hand injury. Miller landed an impressive 57 percent of his power shots for the fight and limited Kassi to 22 percent of his hooks, crosses and uppercuts.

 

Kassi said after the fight that his right hand was injured in the second and pushed through the pain for one more round before giving in.

 

The 6-foot-4, Miller viciously attacked the body and delivered some big rights and combinations. Kassi had some moments where he out-boxed his opponent, but Miller’s power and size—a possible 50+-pound advantage—was the deciding factor. Met hierdie oorwinning, “Big Baby” ups his winning streak to 14 straight.

 

“I knew it would take some time to get going vanaand. I was thinking maybe three or four rounds to warm up and get going. But in the second round, I got my wind and I knew I hurt him,” said Miller, who is ranked among the top 10 heavyweights in three of the four sanctioning bodies. “My legs came alive and I touched his body and his head. I knew I was going to get the stoppage.

 

“I think he could have continued, al. He just didn’t want to. That’s why I take my hat off to Deontay Wilder. I still want to break his jaw, but he finished his fight with a broken hand. That’s what champions do. Kassi didn’t want to continue.

 

“Let’s talk about all these heavyweights. Tyson Fury, he doesn’t want this work. He’s always complaining. He’s always sick or something. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. Wilder, every five minutes he breaks another finger. Kyk, it’s just a matter of time before these guys are going to have to put up or shut up. Anthony Joshua, that’s going to be a mega fight. I am just begging for him to call my name.”

 

Kassi said, “I must have hurt my hand in the first round because in the second, every time I hit him I felt a shock. I wanted to keep going but he’s a big guy and I couldn’t use my hand. When you fight a guy that is 50 pounds heavier than you are, you need all the weapons.”

“The size difference and the strength difference was so enormous,” said SHOWTIME Boxing’s veteran analyst Steve Farhood. “Once Miller started rolling, it was clear that Kassi had no answers. Kassi had been nimble and he slid off the ropes a few times in round one. That was gone in round 2. So, perhaps in some people’s eyes, this win is cheapened by the injury, but to me it was clear that Big Baby was on his way to doing what more advanced heavyweights like Dominic Breazeale and Chris Arreola couldn’t do, and that’s stop Fred Kassi.

“Bottom line, Jarrell Miller’s stock went up vanaand. He faced his toughest test and he passed it.”

In die mede-hoofren, promising Louisiana lightweight “Rock Hard Mighty” Mason Menard scored a brutal knockout at 2:26 of the ninth-round over battled-testedBaha mamadjonov, winning the WBO NABO Lightweight belt. VIDEO HIGHLIGHT:http://s.sho.com/2b6MNPF

 

Both Menard and Mamadjonov were facing their most dangerous foe to date. Mamadjonov (18-3, 11 Uitklophoue), showed great ring generalship successfully keeping Menard’s output down for the first six rounds, but Menard (32-1, 24 Uitklophoue) dramatically turned the fight around with body shots that produced two knockdowns in the seventh. A slow eighth-round followed but the ninth brought another series of power shots leading to the third and final knockdown, prompting referee Steve Smoger to intervene and halt the contest.

At the time of the stoppage Menard, who out-landed Mamadjonov 10-0 in the bout’s final 26 sekondes, was ahead by two points on two scorecards and four points on the third.

"Ek voel goed, but it was a B-level performance from me,” said Menard who is coming from a knockout-of-the-year candidate, “I could have done better. My opponent was an awkward fighter and we got him with two weeks’ notice.

“I knew if I kept putting the pressure, slowly he would fade and I would take him out in the later rounds and that’s exactly how it happened. He was hurting to the body. I knew after the first couple rounds he was breathing really heavy, so the game plan was to start touching him to the body. It was affecting him greatly.

“I’m definitely excited to get my second SHOWTIME knockout and I got some rounds under my belt. It’s been years since I went that many rounds, so it was good to know I can go that long and still finish strong.”

“I don’t really know what went wrong,” said Mamadjonov, who is known for his high boxing IQ. “It was short notice and I think I lost too much weight.

“I didn’t feel his punches, but he caught me with some good body shots. I was fighting evenly with him until the weight loss caught up to me and I got tired.

“I feel ok now. Dit gaan goed. I am disappointed but I’m fine. I’ll be back.”

NABO Bantamweight Champion Antonio Nieves, van Cleveland, Ohio and Tijuana’s Alejandro Santiago battled to a 10-round split draw (96-94 Nieves, 96-94 Santiago and 95-95) in the second fight of the ShoBox quadrupleheader.

Nieves, (16-0-2, 8 Uitklophoue), remains undefeated, but Santiago’s (11-2-2, 3 Uitklophoue) boxing ability clearly caught him off guard. The first five rounds featured brisk long-range boxing that was incredibly even. Santiago, a late-sub for Nikolay Potapov, appeared to pull away in rounds 6-10 as he out-landed Nieves 129-86 overall and 100-61 in power punches.

Winning the late rounds was not enough for Santiago, who was stepping up in weight and opposition. Judge Don Ackerman had Nieves ahead 96-94 while Eric Marlinski had it 96-94 for Santiago. Pasquale Procopio’s 95-95 card proved pivotal. Given Santiago’s second-half surge, the Mexican visitor was unlucky not to get the win.

“I thought it was close, but I think I pulled it out,” said Nieves. “I should have gotten the victory by maybe one or two points. But the judges see what they saw, jy weet?

“I do not feel I put on the impressive performance I was hoping to. I wasn’t at my best. Hy (Santiago) was a little awkward and my right hand was hurting a little bit, but I really don’t know why I wasn’t letting my hands go like I usually do.

“I learned I have to stick to my game plan and keep using my jab. I didn’t use it like I usually do. I need to just do what I do and not worry about what my opponent is doing.

“I don’t think nerves had anything to do with it, even though it was the biggest fight of my career. I was just letting him get off first. I should have followed my game plan, rather than react to what he was doing. I give myself a C for my performance vanaand."

Santiago, who came as a late replacement and was clearly the underdog, also felt he won the fight.

“It was close, but I think I won the fight. I was always sure I’d beat him and I did. I landed more punches,” said Santiago. “I thought Nieves would be stronger than he was in there.

“I usually fight at super flyweight. I was coming up in weight to do this. It was an opportunity to open more doors for me and I took it. And I think that’s what I didvanaand."

In die opening bout van die beeldsending, onoorwonne weltergewig Bakhtiyar Eyubovvan Brooklyn, N.Y., by way of Kazakhstan won a close 10-round split decision—that could have gone either way—against veteran Karim Mayfield of San Francisco, Kalifornië. (95-94 twice for Eyubov and 95-94 for Mayfield).

Yeyubov (11-0, 10 Uitklophoue), who had never been past the third round, was taken to uncharted waters by the more experienced Mayfield (19-4-1, 11 Uitklophoue). Mayfield extended Eyubov far longer than any other opponent and despite out-landing the adoptive Brooklynite in each of the final four rounds (110-80 overall and 87-66 krag) Eyubov escaped with a split decision. It was a learning victory for Eyubov and a disheartening loss for Mayfield, who averaged 69 punches per round to Eyubov’s 52.

“I felt it was close, but I did everything I wanted to do and I feel I won nearly every round,” said Eyubov. “I was surprised by Mayfield, especially how hard his head is. He is a real man.

“My lip is a little swollen but that’s because of headbutts. Mayfield fought dirty in there. But I’m happy with the decision. I learned that I can go 10 rounds if I have to. Ek kon gaan 12. I was still strong at the end of the fight.

Mayfield, who was clearly disappointed with the result, felt he won the fight.

“It was a good fight and he’s a tough fighter for sure, but I landed the harder shots and kept active. He was a tough guy, don’t get me wrong, but I certainly won that fight,” said Mayfield. “I feel I performed well. There’s always more work you can do, but for the most part I feel I did good. People thought for some odd reason the fight wouldn’t even go the distance, which is ludicrous. I won the fight though.

“It was part of my game plan to frustrate him and I feel I did that. I executed my plan well. Natuurlik, there was more I could have done. I could have thrown more punches, but I did well.

“They made it seem like he punched like hell, but I guess all punches feel hard to me, so if you’re a hard puncher or a light puncher, it’s still a punch and I don’t want to get punched. I got hit but I was never stunned or anything like that.

“I would love a rematch.”

Eyubov responded, “I don’t know if I would fight him again. I will think about it.”

“Anthony Joshua is a punk. Deontay Wilder, don’t get me started…”

– Jarrell Miller, Onoorwonne Heavyweight Prospect

ROCHESTER, N.Y.. (Augustus. 18, 2016) – The eight fighters who’ll be fighting on ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie môre/Vrydag, Augustus. 19, woon op SHOWTIME® (10 namiddag. EN/PT) at Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y., all made weight Donderdag.

 

Onoorwonne Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller (17-0-1, 15 Uitklophoue) faces his toughest test to date in veteran Fred Cat (18-5-1, 10 Uitklophoue) in die belangrikste gebeurtenis, which will take place at the outdoor USL soccer venue here. The co-main event features promising Louisiana lightweight “Rock Hard Mighty” Mason Menard (31-1, 23 Uitklophoue) facing his most dangerous foe to date in Bahodir “Baha” Mamadjonov (18-2, 11 Uitklophoue) van Houston, Texas, by way of Uzbekistan in a 10-round battle for the WBO NABO Lightweight title.

 

Meer, undefeated welterweight knockout artist Bakhtiyar Eyubov (10-0, 10 Uitklophoue) van Brooklyn, N.Y., by way of Kazakhstan, steps up to face veteran Karim Mayfield (19-3-1, 11 Uitklophoue) of San Francisco in a 10-round clash. And unbeaten Antonio Nieves (16-0-1, 8 Uitklophoue) of Cleveland will square off against Mexico’s Alejandro Santiago (11-2-1, 3 Uitklophoue) in a 10-round bantamweight bout for Nieves’ WBO NABO Title.

die gewigte: Miller tipped the scales at 296 ½ pond, while Kassi weighed 237 ¼ pond. Menard weighed 134 ½ pond, terwyl sy teenstander, Mamadjonov, measured half pound over the limit on his first try, but hit the 135 mark half an hour later. Nieves weighed 117 even, while Santiago weighed 117 ½ pond. Eyubov weighed 142 ½, while Mayfiled measured at 142 ¾ pond.

 

The event is presented by Salita Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions.

 

Here’s what the principals had to say prior to the weigh-in:

 

Jarrell Miller, Onoorwonne Heavyweight Prospect

“Mike Tyson was a freak of nature. Vitali Klitschko was a freak of nature. I’m also a freak of nature. I’m 6’ 4” and pushing 280. I’m a big guy, but I’m athletic. I can move. I can punch, and I was a kickboxer. I’m not your average heavyweight. I’m not trying to change the blueprint of how heavyweights should be. I’m just being myself and doing my job.

 

“They are like, ‘we’ve seen his body, we’ve seen his size. We’ll outwork him,’ but they are wrong. Never can judge a book by its cover. I’ll outwork him in the ring. I’m fast, I’m good and I can punch. He’s not going to see me coming.

 

“Don’t let my weight fool you. I’ve been doing cardio. I’m in really good shape and I’m ready to go the distance.

 

“Every fight, I have to know how to adjust. I feel like Fred has never been in with a guy like me. He’s been with [Chris] Arreola, who doesn’t move as much, and he also fought [Dominic] BREAZEALE, who doesn’t have good footwork. I’m telling you, he’s never fought a big athletic body like me. He’s in for a surprise.

 

“I know my jab is going to be on his face. Vir my, it’s not just about winning, it’s about performance. Every fight in my career from now on it’s about more than winning. Now I have to prove myself. I have to prove I’m worthy of a title shot.

 

“I wasn’t happy with my [Jan. 22] win over Donovan Dennis. I knew I could’ve done better than a seventh-round TKO. That’s why I’m pushing myself on this fight. I want to win convincingly and I will.

 

“Anthony Joshua is a punk. Deontay Wilder, don’t get me started. Nou, Tyson Fury can actually punch. Ek sal hom gee wat. From all of them, Fury in my opinion is the better one. That’s why I want to fight him. I believe you should go for the hardest ones first. You take the biggest guy out first and then, you go for the easy ones. That’s how it’s supposed to be and that’s what I’d like to do. Take the hard ones out first. Fury, you are next.”

 

Fred Cat, Swaargewig Prospect

“I’ll be a little bit heavier than usual for this fight, but I’m feeling good. I’m feeling ready. I hope the judges see that. I have had some bad experiences with judges recently.

 

“I have had some big fights. I dealt with big guys and talkers, but that doesn’t concern me because in the ring it’s going to be just the two of us. That is when the real fight is going to happen.

 

“I did my job against Arreola, I did what I had to do against Dominic Breazeale. I got robbed.

I’ve never fought a heavyweight shorter than me. I’m usually the shorter one in the ring, but I know my game. I know what I’m doing.”

 

“I’ve gotten robbed so many times. I was coming on hard against Hughie Fury. I didn’t do great in the first rounds, but I was leading in the late ones, and he was slowing down. The stoppage was a relief for him. He was running out of gas.

 

Mason Menard, Lightweight Prospect

“After that last knockout, so many people were actually exhilarated about it. People that didn’t even know me, they’d come up and say, ‘Are you Mason? Man, I saw that KO [and show me the video]. I’ve watched it a thousand times.’”

 

On his opponent…

“He’s one of those guys that no one wants to fight. I took this fight as soon as it was offered because it’s another step up for me. I have to beat guys like this to get to the A-class of fighters. He’s not a bad fighter but he’s not A-class. I simply have to beat guys like this.

 

“Hand speed and foot speed, those are my difference makers.”

 

On his growth beyond the La., circuit now, na 35 gevegte:

“I am glad to be getting the national exposure now. We had some step up fights in Louisiana at first. Nou, we are right where we need to be. It’s all happening now.”

 

Bahodir Mamadjonov Lightweight Prospect

“Menard fought many of the same fighters that we have. Many guys in the same class as we did. So, we are not impressed with his record or his knockouts. We prepared for seven or eight weeks. Although we only knew of this opponent for two-three weeks. Op hierdie vlak, this is no surprise. We are ready.

 

“We tried to fight him years ago. Hy was 17-1 of 18-1 at the time and he didn’t want the fight. Nou, he’s out of options. I am by far the toughest test of his career.

 

“We are close to a world title now. A win here, our third appearance on SHOWTIME, and against a world-rated lightweight…. “I will bring the fight to Mason Menard. That is my style and it doesn’t change for this fight. He’s fighting to prove he’s legitimate. I am here to earn my title shot.”

 

Antonio Nieves, Kapokgewig Prospect

“When they tell you are going to fight and then you hear your opponent got injured, you get a little bit down. Thankfully, Alejandro Santiago was ready to step up.

 

“We’ve noticed he’s successful when the fighter gets in his face, and I have the right strategy for that.

 

“From my last fight I took two weeks off, and then back in the gym. I didn’t even know the name of my opponent. I just wanted to be ready to go when the fight was set.

 

“I’m ranked fifth in the WBO, after Santiago I want to fight for the WBO bantamweight title and then, I will probably look for Rau’shee Warren to unify the titles. I think there’s not enough action in my division and I’m ready to change that.”

 

Alejandro Santiago, Kapokgewig Prospect

“I’ve known about this fight for two months. I was about 130 pounds when I found out. I’ve been training hard and I feel ready to move up in weight. I’m ready for my opponent.

 

"Ek hou van om te boks. I like to get in my opponent’s face. I like to hit and not get hit. I’ve worked a lot on my defensive skills.

 

“I know Nieves is a tough fighter. He’s skilled. But I have a good strategy. I’ll approach him smartly, and I’ll get the decision.”

 

Bakhtiyar Eyubov, Undefeated Welterweight Prospect

“We have been training in a large ring, specifically to prepare to cut the ring off. We are prepared to go 10 rondes, to go 15 rondes. We are not worried about going rounds.”

 

(Re: net 10 fights so far in career):

“I grew up in the gym, had a great amateur career. I expect to progress quickly just like the great amateurs before me. I am at the peak of my strength and I am ready. Karim has never been stopped, never been dropped. He’s a real test.

 

“I grew up in a rough environment, in the streets. I am not intimidated. Indien nie vir boks nie, I would be in a very bad situation back home (Kazakhstan)."

 

(Re: Mayfield)

“It will be a real fight. I hope he is ready 100 percent because we are. I am not a God, we can’t predict, but know this, it will be a good show. Let him do his job. I will do my job. And I will have him out of there within five rounds.”

 

 

Karim Mayfield, Weltergewig Prospect

“I’m a world class opponent. I’ve fought better fighters than him. He will be taking his first loss.

 

“For those that say it’s too late at 36, I tell them they are wrong. I’m not worn out. I haven’t been in one-sided wars or beatings. I’ve been taking care of myself. I’m experienced and I know my craft.

 

“I’m planning to show my opponent I know how to utilize the ring. I’ve only been down once. I know my opponent is a strong fighter and that he’s going to come strong, but he’s not going to take me down.

 

“I’m used to training late. I hit the gym at 7 of 8 uur at night. Our fight is latemôre, but I’m used to it. At that time Eyubov is going to sleep. So, I’m going to do him a favor and I’ll put him to sleep.

 

“I feel that I still have the opportunity to thrive, to move forward in my boxing career. There’s still a lot of me left.”

Welterweights Collide In Opening Bout on ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie;
Undefeated heavyweight Jarrell Miller Meets Fred Kassi in Main Event
Live by 10 namiddag. EN/PT op Showtime®
NEW YORK (Augustus. 11, 2016) – If the team behind Bakhtiyar Eyubov think his next fight will be another easy showcase for their unbeaten welterweight, his opponent, Karim Mayfield has a message.
“He’s a very strong guy, but I’m more experienced than he is for sure,” Said Mayfield. “He comes out looking for the first-round knockout by swinging with everything he’s got and he’s going to find it doesn’t work on me.”
Mayfield (19-3-1, 11 Uitklophoue), San Francisco, will take on Kazakhstan’s Eyubov (10-0, 10 Uitklophoue) in the 10-round opening fight on ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie® op Vrydag, Augustus. 19, woon op Showtime® (10 namiddag. EN/PT, vertraag op die Weskus) from Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y..
In die 10-ronde belangrikste gebeurtenis, power-punching JARRELL “Big Baby” Miller (17-0-1, 15 Uitklophoue) will take on smooth veteran Fred Cat (18-5-1, 10 Uitklophoue) for the NABO Heavyweight Title. In the 10-round co-featured bout, top vooruitsig Mason Menard (31-1, 23 Uitklophoue) will face tough Baha mamadjonov (19-2, 11 Uitklophoue) in a 10-round battle for the NABO Lightweight Title. Also featured is WBO NABO Bantamweight Champion Antonio Nieves(16-0-1, 8 Uitklophoue) van Cleveland, Ohio, verdediging van sy titel teen Alejandro “Peque” Santiago (11-2-1, 3 Uitklophoue), van Tijuana, Baja California, Mexiko.

Mayfield, who has held and defended the NABO Super Lightweight Championship, beaten “uncrowned” wêreldkampioen Mauricio Herrera deur 'n eenparige besluit, as well as former world champion Steve Forbes and taken the “0” of then red-hot prospect Raymond Serrano, correctly points out Eyubov’s lack of experience. Eyubov has only boxed a total of 16 rounds as a professional over four and a half years. Take his victory over Jarred Robinson off the list and the combined record of his other nine opponents is 20-87-10 and they have been knocked out 48 keer.
“He doesn’t show too much footwork either, so he’s going to have trouble,” Mayfield said. “I expect to bring it to him and for him to not be able to last the whole 10 rounds with me.”
Mayfield’s promoter, Greg Cohen of Greg Cohen Promotions, says another KO by Eyubov is far from a foregone conclusion.
“There is no doubt that Eyubov is very strong and a tremendous puncher, but his lack of experience and quality of opposition leaves glaring question marks that will definitely be answered when he fights Karim,” gesê Cohen. “Mayfield has fought at the highest level of the sport. Just take a snapshot of his last four opponents and their combined record of 73-14 met 44 KO’s.”
Cohen says that if Eyubov can steamroll his fighter like he has his previous ones, he’ll be the first to congratulate him.
“This is the classic matchup of a young stud vs. the established veteran. If Eyubov can knock out Karim like he has the opposition he has faced to date, I will be the first to take my hat off to him and would instantly consider him one of the top new contenders to burst onto the scene. On the flipside, if Karim beats Eyubov, this win should catapult him back to the top of the contender list and would immediately make him eligible for a world title bout or title eliminator. Truly a crossroads fight for both guys and one in which I really like Karim’s chances.”
“I’m training hard and getting prepared and sparring guys who come forward,” Mayfield said. “You haven’t seen a 100 percent Karim Mayfield. I’ve shown glimpses of it, but the past three fights, my training hasn’t been on point. I was training like a boxer. I’m not the boxer type. I bring it to you and I’m back to my original style. That wasn’t a good look for me. I was burning more energy moving around. I’m excited about this opportunity. After this win, I’ll be back in the top-tier fights. I’m excited I have a great opportunity and proper time to get prepared. I’m working hard and getting ready and I look forward to a sensational victory.”

Menard vs. Mamadjonov

The co-main event features promising Louisiana lightweight “Rock Hard Mighty” Mason Menard facing his toughest test to date in Bahodir “Baha” Mamadjonov of Houston, Texas by way of Uzbekistan for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title. Both fighters are making their second appearance onShoBox: Die nuwe generasie.

Menard, an eight-year pro at the age of 27, is fighting outside of his native Louisiana for only the second time. He’s is ranked among the Top 15 fighters at 135 pounds in the WBA and WBO. In the most noteworthy victory of his career, he made his ShoBox debut at Turning Stone Casino & Resort last April 15 delivering an impressive Knockout of the Year candidate over previously undefeated Dominican Eudy Bernardo with a vicious one-punch knockout. VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1NtEYjW

Menard floored Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. With less than one minute left in third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo out before he even hit the canvas.

Mamadjonov (19-2, 11 Uitklophoue), has been matched against very tough opposition throughout his career. His only blemishes were to opponents with a combined record of 46-0 (38 Uitklophoue) – Colombiaanse Darleys Perez in Aug., 2012 and Ghana’s Richard Commey in April of last year. Perez went on to become interim WBA Lightweight World Champion and recently lost a rematch against world champion Anthony Crolla. Commey is set to fight Robert Easter Jr. for the vacant IBF World Lightweight Title on Sewe. 9.

This is Mamadjonov’s third start since losing to Commey and his secondShoBox voorkoms. In sy ShoBox debuut in April, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nev., Mamadjonov scored an upset ninth-round stoppage (:51) against previously unbeaten Cuban prospect Angelo Santana. VIDEO:http://s.sho.com/2aPfkwp

Nieves vs. Santiago

Also featured in the Aug. 19 quadrupleheader are WBO NABO Bantamweight Champion Antonio Nieves and his new foe, Alejandro “Peque” Santiago

Nieves, (16-0-1, 8 Uitklophoue), a prospect at 118 pond, has stayed active with five fights in 2014, five in 2015, and is fighting for the third time this year. The 29-year-old is coming off his first 10-round performance, a unanimous decision over then once-beaten Oscar MOJICA op Junie 18 in Washington, Pa. A win against Santiago will put Nieves a step closer to his goal of challenging fellow Ohio-native WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Rau'shee Warren.

Santiago, (11-2-1, 3 Uitklophoue), van Tijuana, Baja California, Mexiko, is a three-year pro who seldom breaks training camp between fights. He has won three fights in a row since his last loss in November 2014 to fellow Mexican Hector Flores. In sy laaste stryd op Februarie. 27, Santiago won an eight-round unanimous decision over Mario Lara. This will be his United States debut and the first time he’s fought north of 116 pond.

MASHANTUCKET, Conn. (Julie 23, 2016) – With a potential title shot on the line, Adam Lopez and Roman Reynoso fought to a 10-round draw in the main event of the 15-year anniversary telecast of ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie Vrydag op Showtime® from Foxwoods Resort Casino.

 

In attendance ringside before the fight, newly crowned IBF Junior Featherweight World Champion Jonathan Guzman (22-0, 22 Uitklophoue) announced that he’d like fight the winner of Lopez-Reynoso, raising the stakes for this matchup of 122-pound prospects. While the fight was close and entertaining, ontleder Steve Farhood, who has called all 219ShoBox telecasts, didn’t believe either fighter did enough to earn an immediate title shot against Guzman.

 

The fight looked like a toss-up heading into the 10ste – with Lopez leading by just one connect after nine rounds – and the Ronnie Shields pupil came up with a huge final round rally. The undefeated prospect hurt Reynoso (18-1-2, 7 Uitklophoue) in the final seconds with a flurry of shots, forcing the Argentine spit out his mouthpiece to buy himself nearly 30 seconds of rest. Seemingly out on his feet, Reynoso somehow survived the onslaught without falling to the canvas before the final bell. Lopez (15-0-1, 7 Uitklophoue) out-landed Reynoso 34-21 overall and 34-20 in power shots in the final round, but it wasn’t enough to earn him the victory.

 

Judge Don Ackerman saw Lopez a 96-94 wenner, while Bill Morande had it 97-93 Reynoso, and Peter Hary cast the deciding ballot at 95-95. All three judges scored the last round 10-9 for Lopez. Had Reynoso fell to the canvas in the final seconds, die 10-8 round would have given Lopez the win.

 

"Dit was 'n taai stryd. He didn’t want to engage,"Sê Lopez, who out-landed Reynoso 158-144 overall and 131-125 in power shots. “He’s slick and experienced and a good fighter. I feel that this was my best performance on ShoBox. I have been working on new things with Ronnie Shields and it showed in there. I know I hurt him in the last round.

 

“The decision was bullshit. He could not hit me.”

 

“It was a close fight, but I feel I won,” Reynoso said. “He never hurt me. The only thing that surprised me is that he was more aggressive than in other fights. I hurt my hand from hitting him.”

 

Late replacement Jerry Odom knocked out previously once-beaten Julius Jackson with a vicious third round knockout (1:57) in die ShoBoxmede-funksie.

 

Jackson (19-2, 15 Uitklophoue), the son of former two-division world champion Julian “The Hawk” Jackson, was outworking Odom through two rounds, who took the fight 10-days notice after Ronaldo Ellis suffered a hand injury. That was until Washington, D.C.’s Odom (14-2-1, 13 Uitklophoue) clocked Jackson with a flush right counter shot with one minute left in the third, spelling the end for Jackson, who couldn’t beat the count and suffered his second consecutive knockout loss.

 

“I saw the right hand. I was throwing combinations and I saw the opening and landed a good shot,"Sê Odom. “As opposed to the last couple fights, I am in a great place physically, verstandelik en geestelik. I have a great team around me. We are unbreakable.”

 

“He threw the punch at the right time and caught me,” Jackson said. “I was OK, but the referee stopped the fight. I felt up until that point, I was boxing well and winning every round.”

 

Rolando Chinea won a close, eight-round split decision victory over O’Shaquie Foster (10-2, 7 Uitklophoue) in a matchup of lightweights, behaal 79-73 (Chinea), 77-75 (Foster) en 78-74 (Chinea).

 

Chinea (13-1-1, 6 Uitklophoue) was the aggressor, dictating the tempo of the fight from the outset. And while most rounds were extremely close – closer than the relatively wide scorecards – Chinea’s activity was the difference. Chinea threw 733 totale stoot, in vergelyking met 641 for Foster, and he edged Foster by nearly 150 krag stoot (592-449).

 

“He is a hell of a fighter and it was fun to fight him,” said Chinea, who was largely able to minimize the jab, Foster’s best weapon. “Like I said before the fight, he could not take pressure. I brought the pressure. I blocked and slipped a lot of his punches. My will and desire to win outweighed his will to punch.

 

“He did not take my pressure well. I worked my shots well inside and that was a difference in the fight.”

 

Foster, who’s record fell to 10-2 met 7 Uitklophoue, complained that he “had distractions and couldn’t focus.”

 

In die opening bout van die beeldsending, Ian Green handed previously undefeated super welterweight prospect Khiary Gray the first loss of his career with a stunning second round TKO (2:50).

 

With former world champion and fellow Paterson, N.J., Kendall Holt in his corner, Groen (10-1, 8 Uitklophoue) came from behind to floor Gray with a big right cross to the chin that sent him tumbling face-forward into the canvas. Gray, a local favorite from nearby Worchester, Massa., tried to hold on with just 30 sekondes links in die ronde, but he couldn’t make it to the break and was falling backward into the ropes when the referee halted the contest.

 

“I got him good, and I got him out of there,” said Green, who out-landed Gray 14-0 in the final minute. “He got me good one time, but I kept my left hand up and hung in there. We’re going all the way up. This is just the start.”

 

Gray (13-1, 10 Uitklophoue), who was seemingly in control of the fight and rocking Green with ease, is die 151st fighter to suffer his initial defeat on the prospect developmental series.

 

“He just caught me,” Gray said. “I don’t even know what punch it was. I didn’t even see it. I tried to hold on and waste some time, but I got caught again. I just need to get back to the gym and fix my mistakes. I’ll bounce back.”

 

Vrydag se four-fight telecast will re-air this Monday by 10 namiddag. EN/PT op Showtime EXTREME.
