LOS ANGELES (Deireadh Fómhair 3, 2018) – Three days of a boisterous, tension-fueled international press tour came to a close on Wednesday in downtown Los Angeles when heavyweight giants Deontay Wilder agus Tyson Fury had to be separated by security after the verbal sparring threatened to turn physical in front of a large contingent of both Wilder and Fury supporters.

 

 

 

In the closing moments of the third-straight press conference ahead of their December 1 showdown for the WBC Heavyweight World Championship at STAPLES Center, emotions appeared to boil over as both fighters had to be held back (See the scuffle ANSEO).

With the whirlwind press tour in the rear-view mirror, the fighters now have 58 days to prepare for the biggest heavyweight fight on U.S. soil since Lennox Lewis KO’d Mike Tyson in June 2002. Wilder vs. Fury is the latest major heavyweight event to take place in the Southland, expanding an already deep history of heavyweight boxing featuring Hall of Famers Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko, the last of whom faced off at Staples Center in 2003, with Klitschko also stopping Chris Arreola at Staples Center in 2009.

Below are flash quotes from today’s event at The Novo by Microsoft at L.A. Beo:

 

DEONTAY WILDER

 

 

 

“I fought one of the best and I think I’m fighting the next best in line in the heavyweight division, and I do think he’s tough. The thing about Tyson, he’s mentally tough. He’s the Gypsy King and you know what they say about Gypsies; they’re traveling people and they’re fearless people. And that’s why he’s the perfect opponent for this situation, for this occasion of bringing the heavyweight division back. So when I knock him out I can say I knocked someone out that was fearless.

 

 

 

“He’s great for the heavyweight division. He’s charismatic, he can talk, I’ve got a great dancing partner. He’s fearless in the ring and he’s got a background of boxing in his blood; he’s named after Mike Tyson and all that is great. It’s good that he’s from another country so you get to see different cultures, different personalities from the two of us. You’ve got one from America and you’ve got one from Great Britain. So that’s going to make it even more pleasurable for me when I knock him out.

 

 

 

“All this adds up. This is exciting for me and I can’t wait to get back to L.A. What I’m saying is I’m going to knock him out.

 

 

 

“You know what I come to do and you know what I’m coming to do December 1. When you come to see fights you come to see somebody get knocked out. You’re not coming to see 12-round fights. I know you’re coming to see some skills but you’re coming to see this man’s body on the canvas and that’s what I’m going to deliver to you.”

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

 

“There isn’t a man born from his mother that Tyson Fury is afraid of, and especially not a man who wears pigtails every day. I don’t fear anything about him; I don’t fear anything he can do.

 

 

 

“It’s a fight. We can do all this stuff on stage, I can walk around here and I can talk as good as any man in the country. But when it comes to a fight, it’s going to be a hell of a fight. Deontay Wilder: massive puncher. Me: skillful boxer. It’s going to be an epic night. This is a legacy fight and I do believe that’s true. And after I win, he’s going to hire me as his publicist because I do believe I can promote Deontay Wilder back to being heavyweight champion of the world in no time. But there’s no shame in losing to me because I am the greatest boxer of my generation and I can’t be beat, especially not by him.

 

 

 

“There have been many, many fighters before like Deontay Wilder, but there’s never been a Tyson Fury before in the history of boxing. I know that because I studied the game inside out.

 

 

 

“I’m giving [Wilder] the opportunity to fight The Gypsy King. I have the claim to the throne that goes back years and years so I’m giving him the opportunity to become something.

 

 

 

“Only in dreams does Deontay Wilder ever knock Tyson Fury out. Only in his dreams

 

 

 

“Deontay Wilder needs Tyson Fury but Tyson Fury doesn’t need Deontay Wilder. I chose Deontay Wilder as an easy victim. This is going to be the easiest fight of my career.”

 

SHELLY FINKEL

 

 

 

“Is troid iontach a bheidh ann. Lately, I’ve seen Tyson fury singing the song, ‘There’s only one Tyson Fury’. I think he stole that from Ricky Hatton and you saw what happened to him. I think that trend will continue.”

 

FRANK WARREN

 

 

 

“I think Tyson is one of the best, he’s certainly one of the most colorful heavyweights that has come out of Britain. His skills are sublime, he does the impossible. He went over to Germany, he took Klitschko to school; a good Klitschko. He fought the guy and like he said, he’s the lineal champion. He loves the challenge and he’s a traveler. That’s why he’s coming to Deontay’s backyard. He’s coming to the States, he’s fighting one of the most explosive heavyweights in recent years, a guy who can punch. I think styles make fights, and everybody is saying that Tyson is going to be running and Deontay is going to be coming after him. I don’t think that’s going to happen; I think on the night, you’re going to see Tyson stand his ground and you’re going to see some serious fireworks take place.

 

 

 

"Is é seo an troid mór, it’s a fight for the fans, it’s great to be here in L.A. to do this fight. It’s great that we are in America to bring another Brit over here to take the belt back.

 

 

 

“This is the best fighting the best; the two top heavyweights in the world who have stepped up to the plate and made a fight like that.”

 

STEPHEN Espinoza

 

 

 

“We have a very special event. What makes it so special? Clearly, it’s a big heavyweight title fight but there’s a different kind of mystique and buzz for a heavyweight title fight. We’ve got a heavyweight title fight between two elite athletes. We’ve got the hardest puncher in boxing against one of the most skilled boxers in the sport, certainly in the heavyweight division. It’s a fascinating matchup of styles. We have two huge personalities and the two tallest fighters in the heavyweight division.

 

 

 

“In a city of big events, we have the biggest of events. L.A. has certainly had its share of big fights – Henry Armstrong, Art Aragon, Bobby Chacon, Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley – they’ve all fought here. And L.A. has even hosted its share of heavyweight fights. Jim Jeffries, Jack Johnson fought here, Muhammad Ali fought here as well. But in terms of major heavyweight title fights in Los Angeles, the list is very short. There have been three Vitali Klitschko fights vs. Chris Arreola, Corrie Sanders and Lennnox Lewis. Sin é. Four fighters have fought for the heavyweight world title in Los Angeles in its history. This is a rare event in Los Angeles. Not since 2009 have we seen a heavyweight title event in L.A. and in a city of can’t-miss events, this is the pinnacle. There’s more than the WBC title at stake, more than pride, this is about legacy and history.”

Below are flash quotes from today’s event at Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York:

DEONTAY WILDER

 

 

“This fight means everything to the heavyweight division. This division was once in a dark place. A lot of people considered the division boring and not entertaining and not enough great fighters. Tá a fhios agat, people always look back at the past and say, ‘Where are the golden days? Where has it gone?’ And now today’s era is different… We’ve brought the sport back to life in the heavyweight division.

 

 

 

“We all know with me it comes with power and with knockouts. And that’s what I do. I get you guys motivated and I get you guys inspired to come and see a heavyweight fight. Because what you guys come to see in a heavyweight fight is a knockout. And I deliver that each and every time. Like I’ve said before, when I say I promise you, I promise you I’m going to knock out the Gypsy King, chomh maith. TIMBERRRRRR!"

 

 

 

“I’m the one who brought him back. I’m the one who encouraged him when he was in that dark place. Dúirt mé leis, ‘You can do it.’ I dared him to come back. I dared him for this very moment. I want him to have confidence. I want him to have energy. As you can see, that’s nerves. That’s all nerves. Because he knows what’s going to happen. He knows his face is going to get smashed in. And he knows his body will be on the pavement. Let him burn out this energy. It’s entertaining. Because when we get in the ring he’s gonna be all by himself and his demeanor will change. His mannerisms are going to change. He’s so nervous right now. He don’t know what do to with himself.

 

 

 

“Don’t give people false promises. I was born off of false promises and got nothing for free. I promise I’m going to knock you out. I speak it, believe and receive it and it’s mine. I don’t have to show so much energy, baby.”

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

“Even Deontay Wilder knows to sit in the presence of greatness. Why I am going to beat this bum is because he can’t box. He’s a big swinger and he’s knocked a few bums out. He’s been in 40 troideanna agus 35 of them have been against total tomato cans who can’t fight back. So really he’s only had five fights. If he thinks a five-fight novice is going to land one of those big swinging windmills onto my chin, then he can think again. After he feels a bit of power and a few stiff jabs in the face his ass is going to fall out. This is what’s going to happen: At about round five or six I’m going to start landing the overhand right and going downstairs to the body. And then around eight, nine 10, the championship rounds then it’s welcome to my world. He’s only been 12 rounds once in his career, and I’ve been 12 rounds championship distance many, many times.

 

 

 

“I’m very experienced and I’ve come back against all odds. I’m here today having beaten so many, many problems. How am I going to let this little spaghetti noodle beat me? How am I going to do that? They don’t call me the Gypsy King for nothing. I didn’t come to New York and Los Angeles and all these press conferences to be embarrassed by this little skinny runt. I’m going to knock him spark out.

 

 

 

“I’m a big, fat, bearded man who can fight like hell. You don’t need to see this fat. We all know I’m the master of disaster. We all know I have a fat stomach. But it’s going to look even worse for you when you get beaten by a fat man.

 

 

 

“I don’t want the Deontay Wilder belt. I want the Tyson Fury belt. I want the limited edition WBC belt. There’s only one Tyson Fury!

 

 

 

“You are on a suicide mission. You know I’m a CRAZY man. I’m gonna make this bum quit. I’m going to make him quit. I’m going to show him what’s it’s like to fight a real man. A real world champion. Does he even know they don’t just give lineal champion belts away? This man has never beaten a world champion. He fought some bum [Bermane] Stiverne that no one’s ever heard of.

 

 

 

“You already know you’ve lost the fight. You’re very nervous right now because all the pressure is on you.”

 

LOU DIBELLA

 

 

“On Dec. 1 on the floor of the Staples Center it’s going to be bombs away. You’re going to get to see the Power, and the Fury when the undefeated, hardest punching and most feared heavyweight of the world, the WBC champion, the Bronze Bomber Deontay Wilder faces the fearless Gypsy King, the undefeated linear heavyweight champion of the world.

 

 

 

“There’s no magic to making a fight of this magnitude. All it takes is for each champion to want to fight. On December 1 two of the three best heavyweights in the world are fighting each other, and the winner can walk away saying, ‘I AM the man!’ Until proven otherwise. That’s what this is all about. As the heavyweights go, mar sin téann dornálaíocht. And the heavyweight division is heading for big things. On December 1 you are going to see a heavyweight fight for the generations.”

STEPHEN Espinoza

 

 

“There is something undeniably unique about a heavyweight title fight. Not just unique in boxing, but unique across sports. There’s a mystique, a mythical quality. Boxing’s heavyweight champions have always been heroic figures; almost super heroes. There’s a feel, a buzz in a heavyweight championship fight that is unique across all sports. And there’s certainly a unique feel to this fight, chomh maith. We have the two tallest men, the biggest men in the heavyweight division – 6-foot-9 and 6-foot-7; two huge figures both literally and figuratively.

 

 

 

“Deontay Wilder: 40 troideanna, 39 Kos, most in devastating fashion. He’s one of the hardest punchers not just in boxing today, but modern boxing history. In Tyson Fury we certainly have a unique skill set. You do not see athletes who are 6-foot-9 who move the way Tyson Fury moves. He has a unique set of skills with athleticism. Outside of the NBA there’s not another more athletic 6-foot-9 athlete on the planet. It’s a fascinating clash of personalities and it’s a fascinating clash of styles and we are happy to bring it to you on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View.”

In anticipation of the biggest heavyweight event in the U.S. since Mike Tyson-Lennox Lewis in 2002, the Wilder vs. Fury International Press Tour continues Tuesday at Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York and concludes Wednesday in Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Below are flash quotes from today’s event at BT Sport Headquarters in London:

DEONTAY WILDER

 

 

“I believe every word that I say. When I say I’m going to knock a man out and tell him where and how he may lay, it comes to pass. I’m all about devastating knockouts, that’s what I do. There’s no pressure on me. You just need to be there to witness it.

 

 

 

“He has two months to get ready. He’s lost a lot of weight but he needs to lose a little bit more. He already knows he’s going to get knocked out. He can hoot and holler, he can build himself up but he needs to take my advice and speak it, believe it, receive it. He’s going to feel pain he’s never felt before.

 

 

 

“Some people don’t even think I should be fighting Fury at this point in time. Whether they want to see another fight or they don’t think he’s ready right now, we can’t live off other’s opinions. When you come to see a Deontay Wilder fight, you’re only coming to see one thing and that’s me knocking somebody out. You all are looking at the 41ú person that’s going to be knocked out.

 

 

 

“The antics aren’t going to work against me. Níl mé (Wladimir) Klitschko, this is Deontay Wilder.

 

 

 

“I definitely think I’m the No. 1 heavyweight in the world. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t feel I was the best. I’m not worried about any other fighters or what they’re saying or how they are hyping themselves up. I already know I’m the part. All you have to do is tune in. I’m about to put him in the oven and make a muffin.”

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

“I am no challenger for no man. I am the lineal heavyweight champion of the world. That means I’m the best of the best. The elite champion. This is two champions colliding, this is equal-rights champion vs. curadh.

 

 

 

“I’m savoring nothing. The only thing I’m savoring is smashing Deontay Wilder’s teeth in. The press has all turned up today to see the biggest fight of our generation between two undefeated giants, and boy are you going to get a fight. You’re in for a real treat, don’t worry about that. I’m in no mood to dance around the ring. There’s not a 15 stone man on the planet that can beat Tyson Fury.

 

 

 

“I have no concern at all about my lack of fights in recent years. If you can fight, you can fight. I picked this fight. I said to Frank, get me this fight. I could have fought another 10 bums and won them too. Nobody forced me to fight Deontay Wilder, I picked him because I believe he’s an easy touch.”

 

 

 

“I will stand right in front of him and prove what I will do. I will punch his face seven days a week and twice on a Sunday. If we fought 30 amanna, I’d win 30 times.”

 

LOU DIBELLA

 

 

“It’s been a long time since the heavyweight division has had two giants like this. Two champions at the top of their game, at the top of their division willing to fight one another. It’s not rocket science making a fight. Deontay spent a lot of time trying to make a fight with another guy from England who didn’t want to fight. When Fury got himself back into the ring and got himself in the shape he is in now, Shelly (Finkel) and Frank (Warren) were able to make this fight very quickly.

 

 

 

“When two great champions want to make a fight, the fight happens. That’s why December 1 is happening. We’re going to know right then and there who the best heavyweight on the planet is until proven otherwise. The winner of this fight will be the best heavyweight on the planet.

 

 

 

“Fury is an interesting guy who has had to overcome a lot of adversity. I think he should be proud of himself for getting his life in order and being able to turn things around. What he’s done in the last six months has been remarkable. I’m still going to admire him after he gets knocked out on December 1.”

 

SHELLY FINKEL

 

 

“I have nothing but respect for our challenger, Fury. When I was handling Klitschko, we didn’t think Fury had a chance against him. He proved me wrong. He won’t prove me wrong twice.

 

 

 

“We didn’t pick to fight Tyson because we thought he was easy, we believe he’s the best out there. We want to fight the best, and only the best. We have respect for you because your countryman didn’t want to fight even though he was offered a fortune to fight. When it was presented, he said no. I commend you for stepping right in.”

 

FRANK WARREN

 

 

“These are the two best heavyweights because they’re willing to step in the ring together. That’s what great fighters do. We are going to see something special on December 1. I think it’s going to be a fight that nobody expects. This is not going to be cat and mouse, sé ag dul a bheith ina cogadh. Tyson has a fighter’s mentality. He’s not trying to duck out through contracts, through a backdoor method. He wanted the fight and Shelly and I worked together to make this happen. You cannot miss it. This will be one of the best heavyweight fights for a long time.

 

 

 

“Fury is traveling to the other guy’s backyard like he did when he went to Germany and took Klitschko to school. He’s going to take Deontay’s belt and this is a fight you cannot afford to miss.”

 

STEPHEN Espinoza

 

 

“This is a fight that has captivated America and will continue to captivate America. We have two mythical figures and that’s what people love about the heavyweight division; they are almost superheroes. In particular, these two individuals are the two largest men in the heavyweight division and I mean that in a physical sense as well as their personalities. Ar pháipéar, an fáinne, on the press tour, it’s a phenomenal matchup.”

Fury is a former IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight world champion who is undefeated in 27 professional fights and holds boxing’s coveted lineal heavyweight title.

 

 

 

The evenly matched showdown of top-ranked heavyweights pits boxing’s two largest champions against each other in the most significant heavyweight fight in the United States since Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson i 2002. In addition to physical stature – Wilder is 6-foot-7, Fury 6-foot-9 – both are among boxing’s greatest showmen, with outsized personalities and heavyweight charisma.

 

 

 

“Wilder vs. Fury is a throwback to the glory days of heavyweight boxing – a 50/50 matchup between two larger-than-life athletes with towering physical frames and captivating personalities,"A dúirt Stephen Espinoza, Uachtarán, Sports and Event Programming for Showtime Networks Inc. “Deontay Wilder has proven he’s the hardest puncher in boxing. Tyson Fury‘s size and skill set present a challenge unlike any other in the heavyweight division. No one knows what will happen when these two giants step into the ring, and that’s what makes this fight so fascinating.”

 

 

 

Wilder vs. Fury is the latest major heavyweight event to take place in the Southland, expanding an already deep history of heavyweight boxing featuring Hall of Famers Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko, the last of whom faced off at STAPLES Center in 2003.

“I can’t wait to fight Tyson Fury in the biggest fight in the heavyweight division and all of boxing,” said Wilder. “I have tremendous respect for Fury for agreeing to leave England and come to the U.S. to challenge me. I’m the WBC champion, he’s the lineal champion, and the winner of this fight will show the world who is ‘The Man’ in the heavyweight division. As much as I respect Fury, I fear no man and fully intend to knock him out like every man that I’ve ever faced in the ring.”

 

 

 

“People talk about me only having two fights since my layoff, but that doesn’t bother me at all,” Fury said. “This is the Tyson Fury show. It always has been. This is my era, and I proved that when I beat Klitschko in his own backyard. Is Wilder the biggest puncher I have faced? You don’t know that until you are on the floor. It is all about not getting hit in this fight. Until someone beats me, I am the king of the heavyweight division. Long live the king.”

 

 

 

“There is no better place in the world than STAPLES Center to have these two giant heavyweights, WBC champion Deontay Wilder and lineal champion Tyson Fury, clashing in an epic championship fight,” said Lee Zeidman, Uachtarán, STAPLES Center. “This is the kind of match that will add to the rich tradition of Southland boxing and we are incredibly proud to host it.’’

 

 

 

After winning bronze at the 2008 Cluichí Oilimpeacha, Wilder knocked out his first 32 professional opponents inside of four rounds to earn a shot at WBC Heavyweight Champion Bermane Stiverne on Jan. 17, 2015. The Tuscaloosa, Ala., native defeated Stiverne via near-shutout decision, going the distance for the first time in his career to become America’s first heavyweight world champion since Shannon Briggs in 2007.

 

 

 

As WBC champion, Wilder has knocked out all seven of his world title challengers, including a devastating first-round knockout of Stiverne in a 2017 rematch. Ina troid seo caite, Wilder survived the toughest test of his career in undefeated top-five ranked world title challenger Luis Ortiz. Wilder knocked out the Cuban slugger in a leading candidate for 2018 An comhrac na Bliana.

 

 

 

In Fury, Wilder will face his second consecutive top-five heavyweight in what experts have set as the closest odds of his professional career.

 

 

 

Fury, who was born in 1988 and named after then-heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, competed as an amateur for both England and Ireland before turning professional in 2008. The self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” dominated the competition early in his career to earn a world title shot against Wladimir Klitschko, who had ruled over the heavyweight division for nine consecutive years.

 

 

 

Fury shocked the world with a unanimous decision win over Klitschko in 2015, limiting the future Hall of Famer to the worst offensive output of his professional career. Subsequent battles with drugs, mental health and weight gain, along with a failure to face his mandatory challengers, cost Fury his belts and led to a nearly three-year hiatus from the sport.

 

 

 

Fury was triumphant in his long-awaited return on June 9 against Sefer Seferi, leading to a second comeback fight less than 75 days later against former world title challenger Francesco Pianeta. Weighing within 11 pounds of his fighting weight when he dethroned Klitschko, Fury displayed prime movement, hand speed and footwork in a shutout decision to earn the opportunity to become a two-time heavyweight world champion on December 1.

Zhora Hamazaryan: “I will beat-down Thomas Mattice in rematch”

Leave a comment

PHILADELPHIA / ORÁISTE, Calif. (Seacht. 27, 2018) –Lightweight Zhora Hamazaryan wants to show the world that he is indeed better then undefeated Thomas Mattice when they meet in the rematch of their controversial July 21st bout, this Friday night in the co-feature bout of a ShoBox: An Giniúint Nua card from Pechanga Resort Casino, and live on SHOWTIME® (10 PM ET/PT).

 

 

 

Hamazaryan (9-1, 6 Kos) was on the wrong end of what most people thought was a very controversial decision on that July night in Sloan, Iowa. The native of Armenia has been in Los Angeles, training very hard for the rematch.

 

 

 

“Tá gach rud foirfe. My camp has been great, and I am just ready for Friday night,” said Hamazaryan.

 

 

 

Hamazaryan has been able to block out the first fight, and he believes that what happened in the ring has no bearing on what will happen on Friday.

 

 

 

“It is a totally new fight for me. I am taking this more seriously because this is a rematch. I did not lose the last fight, so it doesn’t make any difference to me. It will not change my game plan.”

 

 

 

An 22 year-old Hamazaryan feels the experience he gained in the first fight will be beneficial to him for even a more dominant performance.

 

 

 

“I feel like I am a champion. I will do great again, and perform even better. I took this fight to prove that I am better then him. I showed that in the previous fight, and now nothing can stop me.”

 

 

 

The decision was chastised throughout the boxing world, and even called the one of the worst decisions seen in ShoBox expert analyst Steve Farhood’s 40-year boxing career. Hamazaryan will not let the judges decide his fate in the rematch.

 

 

 

“Everyone was disappointed by decision because they saw clearly that I won. It was disappointing for the fans, but It did not break me. This time it won’t be a decision. I am going to do what I am good at. I will win this anyway, whether it’s a decision or knockout. Either way it’s going to be a beat down. Hopefully this will be the right the decision. I just hope everything will be fair, and I am coming for a win.”

 

 

 

Hamazaryan is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing

“I’ve worked hard my whole life to overcome every obstacle, represent my country and win two Olympic gold medals, and win world championships in two weight divisions as a pro,” A dúirt Shields. “I want to be part of the biggest fight in women’s boxing history, I want to be undisputed world middleweight champion, I want women’s boxing to reach new heights, and the only thing standing between me and the achievement of all those goals is Christina Hammer. I will defeat Hammer on November 17, and I will do it in a way that will leave no doubt who is the best in the world.”

 

 

 

“I am beyond excited and motivated to fight Claressa,” Hammer said. “I am the best middleweight in the world and will make that point very clear when we get in the ring. It’s been my dream to fight in the biggest women’s fight of all time and raise women’s boxing to an all-time high. I will be crowned the undisputed middleweight queen on November 17.”

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME Sports has a long history of featuring the best in women’s combat sports, whether it was with Laila Ali and Christy Martin in boxing, or Gina Carano, Cris Cyborg and Ronda Rousey in MMA,” Said Gordon Hall, Léiritheoir Feidhmiúcháin Showtime Dornálaíocht: EAGRÁN SPEISIALTA. “Níos déanaí, ós rud é 2016 we have featured today’s elite with Claressa Shields, Christina Hammer, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano appearing in an industry-leading 10 presentations of women’s boxing.

 

 

 

“Male or female, SHOWTIME has delivered the best fighters in their toughest matchups, agus mí na Samhna 17 Beidh aon éagsúla. We have two of the best pound-for-pound female fighters in the world facing each other with all four women’s middleweight titles at stake. It doesn’t get much better than that.”

And what better venue to host this historic fight than Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, home to some of the greatest fights of our generation including Tyson vs Spinks, Holyfield vs Foreman and Gatti vs Ward. I can’t wait to see these two great champions give the fans a night to remember for generations to come.”

 

 

 

“This will be a historic night for boxing,” Dúirt tionscnóir Dmitriy Salita. “The two best middleweights in the world – dá Seaimpíní, both undefeated and both motivated to prove who is the best – are bringing their skills, confidence and heart to the ring in the greatest women’s matchup of all time. Shield vs. Hammer will take boxing, and women’s sports, to a new height. History will be made November 17 live on SHOWTIME.”

 

 

 

Ba Shields an chéad Boxer Mheiriceá i stair – fireann nó baineann – to win consecutive Olympic Gold Medals. An Flint, Mich., native turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and became unified women’s super middleweight world champion in just her fourth professional fight. Shields moved down to middleweight for her June 22 headliner on SHOWTIME, defeating Hanna Gabriels to win the IBF and WBA titles and become a two-division champion in just her sixth professional contest.

SHAWNEE, Okla. (Meán Fómhair 22, 2018) – Chuir O’Shaquie Foster isteach ar Jon Fernandez nach raibh an bua aige roimhe seo i gcath ShoBox: An Giniúint Nua veterans, ag scóráil bua cinnidh d'aon toil thar an ionchas ard-mheas Dé hAoine ar SHOWTIME ó Firelake Arena. BUAICPHOINTÍ VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2OI0NUp

 

 

 

Fernandez (16-1, 14 Kos), protégé den iar-churadh domhanda aontaithe Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez, tháinig an 180ú trodaire i stair an ShoBox sraith chun a thaifead undefeated a chailleadh tar éis do thriúr trodaithe eile nach raibh bainte amach acu cheana cinntí a ísliú Dé hAoine.

 

 

 

An Foster 25 bliain d'aois (14-2, 8 Kos), ina chónaí i Houston, chuir sé plean cluiche a fhoirne i gcrích chun foirfeachta, ag baint úsáide as sárghluaiseacht agus ag nascadh go tráthúil le cun-shots. Bhí Foster i bhfad níos géire ar an gcion agus ar an gcosaint, nascadh ar 36 faoin gcéad dá punches iomlán i gcomparáid le díreach 16 faoin gcéad do Fernandez.

 

 

 

Chuir Foster frustrachas ar Fernandez, Trodaire crafty agus taithí a bhí bua amháin as ionadaíocht a dhéanamh ar na Stáit Aontaithe sa 2012 Cluichí Oilimpeacha. Sna sé babhtaí roimhe seo, Fernandez meán 8.4 nascann jab in aghaidh an bhabhta ach bhí sé teoranta go díreach 13 jabanna sa troid 10 mbabhta ar fad anocht.

 

 

 

“Ba é seo an troid is fearr de mo ghairm bheatha,” arsa Foster, a bhí le feiceáil ar an ShoBox sraith don cheathrú huair. “Bhí a fhios agam go raibh sé ionam, Níor chuir mé le chéile riamh é. Tá foireann nua agam, Tá traenálaí nua agam, oiliúnóir nua neart agus riochtú. Ba é seo a shamhlaigh mé agus chuir muid isteach an obair chun é a dhéanamh.

 

 

 

“Bhí a fhios agam gur puncher a bhí ann agus go dtiocfadh sé chun tosaigh ar an troid ar fad. Bhí a fhios agam go raibh orm oibriú as mo jab agus mo ghluaiseacht cliathánach a úsáid. Bhí beagán cumhachta aige, ach ní bhfuair sé glan mé riamh. Táimid chun suí síos agus breathnú ar an gclár líníochta. Is féidir liom é seo a insint duit, níl muid ar an taobh B a thuilleadh."

 

 

 

Tháinig feabhas ar Fernandez le linn an dara leath den troid, lámh dheas mór a thabhairt i dtír sa séú babhta a chuaigh i gcion ar Foster go hachomair. Mar sin féin, ní raibh an Spáinneach in ann a stríoc suntasach KO de 14 troideanna as a chéile.

 

 

 

“Bhí a stíl frustrachais, ach bhíomar ag súil leis,” a dúirt Fernandez, 23 bliain d'aois, a measadh go forleathan mar cheann de na hionchais is fearr sa dornálaíocht. “Shíl muid go n-imeodh a riochtú agus go n-imeodh sé síos sna babhtaí níos déanaí. Ní dhearna sé (mall síos) agus chuir sin ionadh orm.

 

 

 

 

 

“Braithim gur féidir linn éirí níos fearr agus níos fearr fós. Ní raibh ach drochphlean cluiche againn don troid seo.”

 

 

 

Irvin Gonzalez Jr. (11-0, 9 Kos) Carlos Ramos as an mbosca (9-1, 6 Kos) ó thús deireadh le bua cinnidh d’aonghuth a scóráil i gcluiche ceannais na hoíche anocht ShoBox: An Giniúint Nua telecast. Na breithiúna scóráil leis an gcomhrac 79-73, 78-74, 80-72. Gonzalez, a bhí an Trodaire níos gníomhaí agus ionsaitheach, choinnigh sé a thaifead slán in ainneoin aghaidh a thabhairt ar chéile comhraic a bhí frustrachas agus cosantach i Ramos.

 

 

 

“Thóg sé cúpla babhta dom é a dhéanamh amach, ach nuair a rinne mé ní raibh faic aige orm,"A dúirt Gonzalez. “Ní raibh aige ach an lámh chlé agus sin mar gheall air. I ndáiríre níor chaith sé aon phunc.

 

 

 

“Ba mhór an taithí foghlama é seo domsa. Ba é seo mo dhara ocht bhabhta agus d'oscail sé mo shúile beagán. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil riocht maith orm ach caithfidh mé dul ar ais ag obair.”

 

 

 

Gonzalez 22 bliain d'aois, dornálaí ceathrú glúin ina theaghlach agus as Worcester ó dhúchas, Aifreann., chuir sé as an bpá dheas sciliúil Ramos, nach raibh beagnach gníomhach go leor ar feadh na n-ocht mbabhta. An níos faide, Gonzalez níos laige, a meán 58 punches in aghaidh an bhabhta go Ramos’ 28, ag brath ar a bhuntáiste fad agus throid ar raon.

 

 

 

An Ramos trialach agus cosantach, ar an láimh eile, i dtír amháin 27 punches sna seacht mbabhtaí atá fágtha tar éis tuirlingthe 11 sa bhabhta oscailte. Gonzalez, as a chuid, shárú 50 punches i ngach ach an tríú babhta.

 

 

 

Sa dara bout den cheathairheader, Steven Ortiz Philadelphia (9-0, 3 Kos) ar imeall Brooklyn Wesley Ferrer (12-1-1, 7 Kos) i gcomhoiriúnú cothrom agus deacair a scóráil d'ionchais nach bhfuil bainte amach. Ní raibh níos mó ná cúig phunt iomlán idir an dá throdaithe i ngach babhta den chinneadh tromlaigh, a bhí scór 78-74, 77-75, 76-76.

 

 

 

Throid an dá trodaithe ar luas d'aon ghnó, ach ní raibh ceachtar acu in ann teacht ar a rithim agus comhcheangail talún comhsheasmhach. Thosaigh Ortiz níos láidre, ach d'fhás Ferrer isteach sa troid agus ba é an trodaire ba ghnóthaí sna babhtaí lár. Ba iad an dá bhabhta deiridh an fachtóir cinniúnach sa troid. Bhí an bheirt bhreitheamh a raibh an bua ag Ortiz ar a scórchártaí i bhfabhar Ortiz i mbabhtaí a seacht agus a hocht.

 

 

 

“Sílim gur troid gar go leor a bhí ann,” a dúirt Ferrer díomá. “Shíl mé go raibh an chéad chúpla babhta buaite agam, ach tá a fhios agam go bhfuair mé as-obair sa dá bhabhta dheireanacha. Ag deireadh an lae, chonaic na moltóirí rud éigin eile agus fuair sé an bua. Dá mbuafainn na babhtaí deireanacha bheadh ​​an troid buaite agam.”

 

 

 

Ortiz, a shealbhaigh caol 127-115 buntáiste a bhaint as punches iomlána a tugadh i dtír agus a 99-93 buntáiste i punches cumhachta i dtír, bhraith sé go ndearna sé go leor chun an bua a fháil ach ní raibh sé sásta go hiomlán lena fheidhmíocht.

 

 

 

“Bhí mé ag éirí as leagan fada agus ní raibh mé chomh géar agus ba chóir dom a bheith,” a dúirt Ortiz, atá 25 bliain d’aois. “Thug mé na jabanna níos géire i dtír agus fuair mé na seatanna níos deacra. Sílim gurbh é mo thaithí fáinne agus ginearálú fáinne an difríocht sa troid.

 

 

 

“Ba mhaith liom teacht ar ais i bhfad níos géire agus i bhfad níos cliste. Ag deireadh an lae, taithí foghlama a bhí ann. Fuair ​​​​mé an bua i gcoinne fear crua."

 

 

 

Sa oscailteoir teileachraolta, Misael Lopez de chuid Denver (9-0, 4 Kos) fuair sé an ceann is fearr ar James Wilkins ó Staten Island (5-1, 5 Kos) i cath na n-óg, ionchais meáchain cleite super undefeated roimhe seo, bua cinnidh d'aon toil a thabhairt chun cinn (79-72, 77-74, 76-75).

 

 

 

Tháinig an bheirt trodaithe amach ag luascadh sa troid lánghníomhaíochta, an luas a shocrú don chuid eile den bhabhta ocht mbabhta ina raibh iomlán de 1,320 punches thrown. Thug Wilkins an brú ar Lopez i rith an ama, ach an méid punches a bhí ag Lopez, chuir gluaiseacht agus comhcheangail ar a chumas an chuid is mó de na babhtaí a rialú. Bhí riochtú Lopez eochair. Sna ceithre bhabhta deiridh, Lopez faoi stiúir 139-68 san iomlán naisc agus i dtír 213 punches cumhachta go díreach 115 do Wilkins ar feadh na n-ocht mbabhta.

 

 

 

Wilkins, a bhí le feiceáil ar an gclár faisnéise SHOWTIME CRADLE NA Seaimpíní a cuireadh ar siúl díreach roimh chlár na hoíche anocht ShoBox telecast, asbhaineadh pointe le haghaidh buille íseal sa chúigiú babhta tar éis roinnt rabhaidh. Sa seachtú babhta, Bhí an chuma ar Wilkins gur scóráil sé cúl nuair a cheangail sé le lámh dheas láidir a leag amach Lopez ón gcothromaíocht, ach rialaigh an réiteoir Mike England nár bhain lámh dheas Lopez leis an mata.

 

 

 

“Sílim gurb é an difríocht a bhí mé in ann a chur amú air, cuir na seatanna níos glaine i dtír agus d'úsáid mé mo dornálaíocht chun an luas a ordú,” a dúirt an Lopez 22 bliain d'aois. “Táim ag iarraidh leanúint ar aghaidh agus fanacht ar an stáitse mór. Tá súil agam go dtabharfaidh daoine agus tionscnóirí faoi deara gur mise an fíor-mhargadh.”

 

 

 

Ina tús teilifíse náisiúnta, bhraith Wilkins lán-mhuiníneach as scórchártaí na moltóirí agus ba chosúil gur cailleadh an réiteoir sa seachtú háit..

 

 

 

“Sílim go ndearna mé go leor chun é a bhaint,” arsa Wilkins. “Bhí mé in ann cinneadh scoilte a fheiceáil, b'fhéidir, ach thit mé air agus is é sin a bhuaigh an troid. Ba é sin a 10-8 bhabhta. Ba mhaith liom dul ar ais go dtí an seomra aclaíochta, obair go crua agus faigh ar ais ceart. Ní fhaca tú an ceann deireanach díom.”

 

 

 

Bhronn DiBella Entertainment an ceanncheathrú anocht i gcomhar le MaravillaBox Promotions, Holden Productions agus The Real Deal Boxing, agus urraithe ag Gagliardi Insurance.

Sleachta FINAL:

 

JON FERNANDEZ:

“Sílim go bhfuil mé réidh le haghaidh troid teidil anois. Sílim go bhfuil obair an-mhaith ar siúl againn agus tá an t-am ag teacht. Má fhaighim an deis tar éis an troid seo, Feicfidh mé a chur air. Ba mhaith liom troid le Tevin Farmer nó Ryan Garcia. Táim réidh le haghaidh rud éigin níos mó.

 

 

 

“Tá gach troid difriúil. Roinnt troideanna is gá dom a bheith an-ghnóthach agus uaireanta is gá dom an chumhacht a thabhairt. Braitheann sé go léir. Féachaim orm féin níos mó mar puncher toirte ná mar puncher cumhachta. Is maith liom mo chuid comhraic a chaitheamh thart ar bhabhta.

 

 

 

“Bhí mé ar SHOWTIME faoi dhó agus leag mé amach mo bheirt chéile comhraic. Oíche amárach déanfaidh mé trí cinn as a trí.

 

 

 

“Tá roinnt troideanna ag Foster feicthe agam. Is trodaire é a bhfuil a fhios aige conas a fhad a úsáid agus bogadh timpeall go leor. Beidh sé ar mo chéile comhraic is deacra go dtí seo ach throid mé guys a bhfuil an stíl chéanna roimhe seo.

 

 

 

“Tá an-tóir ar dornálaíocht an t-am ar fad sa Spáinn agus tá súil agam go gcuirfidh mo rathúlacht ar dhaoine eile sa Spáinn tosú ag dornálaíocht..

 

 

 

“Sílim go mbeidh Foster dílis dá stíl agus go n-úsáidfidh sé a fhad agus a ghluaisfidh sé go mór. Beidh orm ionsaí a dhéanamh air agus an fáinne a dhúnadh. Caithfidh mé a bheith thar a bheith cliste mar is frithbheartaí iontach é Foster agus tá sé gasta. Níl le déanamh agam ach dul ag obair.”

 

O'SHAQUIE FOSTER:

“Tá mo fhócas feabhsaithe ó thosaigh mé ag obair le m’oiliúnóir, Bobby (Benton). Tá feabhas mór tagtha orm agus tá mo chomhsheasmhacht ann. Tá mé tar éis éirí níos géire agus ar ais go dtí an sean liom. Chuaigh mé ar strae ón mbealach is maith liom troid agus anois táim ar ais go dtí an fíor-O’Shaquie.

 

 

 

“Ní fhaca SHOWTIME an ceann is fearr díom go fóill. Ní raibh mé dírithe ar mo chúpla troid dheireanacha agus bhí roinnt droch-léirithe agam orthu ShoBox. Tá mo dheamhain agus drochghníomhaíochtaí go léir bainte amach agam agus anois táim céad faoin gcéad dírithe ar mo chuid dornálaíocht. Tá a fhios agam sin nuair a bhíonn mé dírithe, ní féidir le duine ar bith mé a bhualadh.

 

 

 

“Tá botún mór á dhéanamh ag Fernandez sa troid seo. Ní raibh deacracht riamh agam troid i gcoinne guys arda. Níl le déanamh agam ach go leor feint agus a lán gluaiseachta a úsáid agus ní fheicim é ag cur isteach orm.

 

 

 

“Braithim go bhfuil foireann mhaith agam. Tá mé tar éis éirí níos sine, Tá mé aibí, agus táim chomh dírithe is a bhí mé riamh. Bhí mé sa seomra aclaíochta go seasta le bliain anuas. Tar éis mo troid deiridh, Thóg mé cúpla lá saor agus bhí mé ar ais sa seomra aclaíochta. Is é seo mo cheathrú troid i níos lú ná bliain agus tá mé ag teacht amach ar cheann de mo léirithe is fearr.

 

 

 

“Rinne mé roinnt botúin ar shiúl ón bhfáinne. Bhí orm mé féin a tharraingt amach as agus ní raibh mé chun ligean do mo thallann dul amú. Is troid mhór í seo domsa agus caithfidh mé a chruthú go bhfuil todhchaí iontach agam fós sa dornálaíocht.”

 

IRVIN GONZALEZ JR.:

“Ag teacht amach as na hamaitéaraigh, Bhí a fhios agam go raibh mé chun mo mharc a dhéanamh in am trátha. Ní raibh a fhios agam an mbeadh sé seo go tapa. Is é seo an sprioc iomlán. Is é seo mo chéad uair ar an teilifís agus ba mhaith liom a thaispeáint mo thallann.

 

 

 

“Tá a fhios ag Ramos conas bosca a dhéanamh, tá a fhios aige conas dul isteach agus amach agus a chuid uillinneacha a úsáid, ach feicim go leor rudaí ar féidir liom leas a bhaint astu. Coinníonn sé a lámh dheas síos íseal, agus is maith leis teacht thar barr le lámh chlé thar nais. Is maith leis fanacht amuigh ansin, agus is féidir leis a bheith gafa nuair a fhanann sé amuigh ansin. Taispeánfaidh mé dó sa fáinne cad a chaithfidh sé a bheith ag obair ina cheird.

 

 

 

“Is féidir liom a bhosca, ach is féidir liom freisin suí síos ar mo punches agus troid taobh istigh. Is maith liom a phiocadh amach mo punches. Níl sé cosúil go bhfuil mé ag dul isteach ann don mharú - má thagann an marú, a thagann an marú - ach tá mé ag piocadh amach mo punches. Má thagann sé le knockout, Tagann sé leis an knockout.

 

 

 

“Is é seo an fear is deacra a raibh mé ann mar fhear pro. Tá a fhios againn go bhfuil sé fágtha, tá a fhios againn go bhfuil sé ina bhuailteoir crua. Sin go leor atá ar eolas againn.

 

 

 

“Aistrím gan fiú a thuiscint, mar sin ní bheidh aon fhadhb ag troid le cos theas. Tá mé chomh compordach leis go dtagann sé mar dhara nádúr.”

 

CARLOS RAMOS:

“Thosaigh mé na céadta babhta le Jon Fernandez. Is trodaire an-difriúil mé ná JonFer. Is trodaire níos nuaí é a ionsaíonn agus a dhéanann iarracht an fáinne a ghearradh amach. Is dornálaí teicniúil mé níos mó a dhéanann iarracht an jab a úsáid go mór.

 

 

 

“Beidh mo stíl ag brath ar an gcaoi a n-imíonn an troid. Tá plean againn dul i ngleic le Irvin Gonzalez agus ceapaimid go mbeidh sé an-éifeachtach oíche amárach.

 

 

 

“Is troid mhaith é seo do mo ghairm bheatha agus an cineál troid a spreagann mé. Tá mé ar bís as an deis seo agus ar bís le bheith anseo sna Stáit Aontaithe. Ceapaim go n-osclóidh sé seo go leor deiseanna níos mó dom.”

 

WESLEY FERRER:

“Tá mé tar éis fanacht gnóthach sa seomra aclaíochta ó mo troid dheireanach. Ní raibh mé i gcampa traenála le Robert Easter rófhada ó shin. Bhí meirg fáinne orm sa troid dheireanach mar gheall ar an leagan amach ach ní bheidh sé sin ina cheist an uair seo.

 

 

 

“Is troid mhór é seo do mo ghairm bheatha. Seo a thabharfaidh mé go dtí an chéad chéim eile i mo ghairm bheatha. Tá mé ar bís a thaispeáint do gach duine cé hé an fíor-Wesley.

 

 

 

“Is féidir liom bosca, Is féidir liom cur i gcoinne. Braitheann sé go léir ar conas a mhothaím. Má chuirim m’intinn ar bheith im brawler, Is féidir liom é sin a dhéanamh. Má chuirim m’intinn leis an dornálaíocht, Is féidir liom é sin a dhéanamh. Braitheann sé go léir ar mo chéile comhraic agus cad é an plean troid. Tá plean troid maith againn don oíche amárach.

 

 

 

“Is féidir liom mo sheasamh a athrú agus rud ar a bhfuilim ag obair. Uaireanta déanaim é gan fiú smaoineamh air, agus sa troid dheireanach a bhí agam bhí mé níos éifeachtaí mar chos dheas. Is éard atá i gceist le tuiscint cén uair atá an t-am ceart chun é a dhéanamh.

 

 

 

“Tá an t-ullmhúchán a rinne mé don troid seo foirfe. Níl aon fhadhb agam agus feicfidh tú go léir an Wesley Ferrer is fearr.”

 

STEVEN ORTIZ:

“Mothaím go maith, Tá mé réidh le dul. Níl mórán eolais agam faoi Ferrer. Tá a fhios agam uaireanta go n-aistríonn sé chuig an bpá ó dheas ach nílimid ach ag dul in oiriúint do cibé rud a thugann sé chuig an mbord.

 

 

 

“Thosaigh mé na céadta babhta le Tevin Farmer. Más féidir liom bualadh leis, Is dóigh liom gur féidir liom bualadh le duine ar bith. Tugann sé sin an muinín dom aghaidh a thabhairt ar fhear cosúil le Ferrer.

 

 

 

“Bím ag baint leasa as m’airde ach táim ag foghlaim troid ar an taobh istigh freisin. Is maith liom bang, ach tagann dornálaíocht go nádúrtha chugam. Is fusa na troideanna eile seo a bheith ag obair le buachaillí mar Tevin.

 

 

 

“Tá mé chun a bheith cliste, fanacht foighneach, úsáid mo jab. Ach má thagann oscailt tá mé chun leas a bhaint as agus iarracht a dhéanamh é a ghortú. Chomh fada agus a fhanfaidh mé dírithe agus smachtaithe beidh sé seo ina obair éasca.

 

 

 

“Is é seo mo chéad uair ag troid ar an teilifís beo, is deis iontach é seo dom agus taithí a bhfuilim ag tnúth leis. Níl le déanamh agam ach é a thabhairt timpeall ar bhabhta.

 

 

 

“Is éard atá i gceist ná a bheith níos dírithe. Ní raibh mo mheon aigne riamh roimhe seo, ‘Ba mhaith liom iad a leagadh’. Anois, sin tosaíocht domsa. Ba mhaith liom iad a ghortú.”

 

JAMES WILKINS:

“Nuair a dhéanaim teagmháil leis, Geallaim duit go bhfuil mé chun é a bhualadh. Tá mé faoina chraiceann le sé seachtaine. Anois ó tharla nach bhfuil an troid ina bhaile dúchais tá faitíos air go mbreathnóidh sé i mo shúile.

 

 

 

“Is cinnte go bhfuil sé an ceann is deacra agam (comhraic). Tá sé óg, tá sé gan sárú. Tá sé curtha suas i Denver. Ach, má iarrann tú orm, Ní smaoiním air. Ní Brooklyn é Denver.

 

 

“Tá mé níos mó, Tá mé níos cliste, Tá mé níos tapúla. Níor stop gach duine a throid mé go dtí gur stop mé iad. Níor throid mé 130 punt go fóill agus anois tá mé, níl an troid seo ag dul thar thrí bhabhta.

 

 

 

“Ba mhaith liom a bheith sa bharr 10. Ba mhaith liom a bheith ina réalta ag ardú. Ba mhaith liom a bheith i mo cheannaire domhanda faoi dheireadh na 2020. Ach bhí orm bealach difriúil a ghlacadh ná trodaithe eile. Tá na spriocanna atá agam agus seo an chéad chéim eile. Tá mé ag ciceáil an dorais seo síos.

 

 

 

“Tá mé difriúil ó go leor trodaithe óga. Mo IQ dornálaíochta tar éis oibriú le Roy (Jones) Is tríd an díon. Bhí campa maith agam. Táim réidh agus réidh le mo bhrionglóid a chaitheamh agus a bheith i mo réalta.

 

 

 

“Tá mé ag obair trí huaire sa lá sa seomra aclaíochta. Níor throid mé guys le taifid a chailliúint mar bhí mé ag piocadh buachaillí. Throid mé leo mar níor tugadh deis dom.”

MISAEL LOPEZ:

“Ar dtús chuaigh Wilkins faoi mo chraiceann beagán ar na meáin shóisialta, ach chuireamar bac air. Is ceann te é. Is dóigh liom laistigh den chéad chúpla babhta go dtiocfaidh sé amach fiáin agus go mbeidh sé éasca dom dul i ngleic leis. Beidh sé ag obair ina choinne.

 

 

 

“Ní raibh sé trí bhabhta ariamh, ach níos tábhachtaí fós níor throid sé le fear a raibh taifead buaite aige.

 

 

 

“Chonaic mé guys a thagann amach ionsaitheach. Níl le déanamh agam ach breith air, mall é agus beidh sé amuigh.

 

 

 

“Níl aon drochmheas air. Is dornálaí iontach é, bhí slí bheatha iontach amaitéarach aige. Ach seo an deis atá againn an chéad chéim eile a ghlacadh.

 

 

 

“Tá mé i bhfad níos cliste i ngach troid. D'fhoghlaim mé socrú síos agus mo shots a phiocadh. Is féidir liom a chur in oiriúint d'aon stíl. Bhí troideanna agam nuair a bhí orm brawl, Bhí troideanna agam a bhí orm a bhosca.

 

 

 

“Rinneamar spáráil le Shakur Stevenson agus fuaireamar roinnt babhtaí daingne leis don troid seo.”

Fernandez vs. O’Shaquie Foster Headlines ShoBox Quadrupleheader Live at 9:45 p.m. ET/PT ó Firelake Arena i Shawnee, Okla.

 

SHAWNEE, Okla. (Seacht. 19, 2018) – Former unified world champion Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez sees big things for his protégé Jon “JonFer” Fernandez as the undefeated super featherweight prepares for his toughest test to date in O’Shaquie Foster in the headlining bout of ShoBox: An Giniúint Nua seo Dé hAoine, Meán Fómhair 21, beo ar Showtime (9:45 p.m. ET / PT).

 

 

 

Martinez, known for his extensive career and impact inside the ring and now at the helm of Maravillabox Promotions, has managed Fernandez since 2015. Since his pro debut at only 19 bliain d'aois, Fernandez (16-0, 14 Kos) has climbed the prospect rankings while keeping his unblemished record intact, leagan amach 88 percent of his opponents along the way. The 23-year-old Fernandez was named the No. 5 prospect in all of boxing on ESPN’s Top Prospects of 2017 liosta, and looks poised to challenge for a world title at 130 pounds in the near future.

 

 

 

This Friday’s quadrupleheader features eight prospects boasting a combined record of 81-2-1 agus 56 Kos. Osclaíonn an teilifís le James Wilkins (5-0, 5 Kos), who is featured on SHOWTIME’s CRADLE NA Seaimpíní documentary immediately preceding the ShoBox telecast ar 9 p.m. ET / PT, taking on Misael Lopez (8-0, 4 Kos). Also included on the card is a battle between undefeated featherweights Irvin Gonzalez Jr. (10-0, 9 Kos) agus Carlos Ramos (9-0, 6 Kos), plus and Brooklyn’s Wesley Ferrer (12-0-1, 7 Kos) colliding with undefeated lightweight Philadelphia prospect Steven Ortiz (8-0, 3 Kos).

 

 

 

This week, the former world champ Martinez spoke to SHOWTIME about what the future might hold for Fernandez and his stablemate, fellow-undefeated prospect Carlos Ramos:

 

SERGIO “MARAVILLA” MARTINEZ:

How much has Jon progressed since the last time we saw him on SHOWTIME in June 2017?

 

 

“It’s been over a year since last time Jon fought in the United States. I’ve seen him mature as a person and as a boxer. He’s been in three very difficult fights, he knocked out a Panamanian Olympian and won the WBC Silver belt. He’s now ranked in the top 10 at super featherweight by the WBC.”

 

How far away do you believe Jon is from challenging for a world title opportunity?

 

 

“With every fight, JonFer is a step closer to an opportunity to showcase his talent on the big stage. I mo thuairimse, 2019 will be the year where we see him in a big fight against another top 10 opponent or challenging for a title.”

 

You have sparred with Jon in the past, how did that go? Do you still train with him?

 

 

“I train with JonFer a few days a week. He’s so strong. I think he’s stronger than most 130-pounders, and he can pack a punch. He’s a power puncher.”

 

What initially drew you to work with Jon in the beginning?

 

 

“As soon as I met JonFer, I knew I wanted to work with him. His talent stood up right away. I knew he was a hungry, five-star boxer with world championship fever. The perfect prospect.”

 

How do you feel about the matchup Jon has on Friday night against O’Shaquie Foster?

 

 

“Foster is his toughest rival to date, so naturally I’m a little nervous. But I know JonFer has what it takes to get the win. I have a second fighter on the card, Carlos Ramos. I’m always a little nervous when my boxers fight. It’s normal.”

 

Irvin Gonzalez is also undefeated, what does Carlos need to do for the victory?

 

 

“Carlos Ramos doesn’t have to do anything special to defeat Irvin Gonzalez. He just has to be himself. Ramos knows this is the biggest opportunity he has ever had and that this fight can change his life. That’s the best motivation he can have to bring his A-game to the ring on Friday.”

 

What are you thoughts on Carlos as a prospect?

 

 

“I have high hopes for Carlos. He has a lot of talent and is a southpaw, just like me. He reminds me of myself when I was starting. I believe in his potential.”

 

 

 

Presented by DiBella Entertainment, tickets for the event are priced at $60 for ringside, $40 le haghaidh suíocháin urláir agus $30 for general admission and can be purchased online at www.firelakearena.com or at the door on the night of the event.
