KARIM MAYFIELD, BACK AT 100 PERCENT, PLANNING SURPRISE PARTY FOR UNBEATEN BAKHTIYAR EYUBOV ON AUG. 19

Welterweights Collide In Opening Bout on ShoBox: Den nye generasjonen;
Undefeated heavyweight Jarrell Miller Meets Fred Kassi in Main Event
Lever 10 pm. OG/PT på SHOWTIME®
NEW YORK (August. 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 KOs), of San Francisco, will take on Kazakhstan’s Eyubov (10-0, 10 KOs) in the 10-round opening fight on ShoBox: Den nye generasjonen® Fredag, August. 19, leve på SHOWTIME® (10 pm. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten) from Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y..
I 10-runde main event, power-punching Jarrell “Big baby” Miller (17-0-1, 15 KOs) will take on smooth veteran Fred Cat (18-5-1, 10 KOs) for the NABO Heavyweight Title. In the 10-round co-featured bout, top prospect Mason Menard (31-1, 23 KOs) will face tough Baha mamadjonov (19-2, 11 KOs) in a 10-round battle for the NABO Lightweight Title. Also featured is WBO NABO Bantamweight Champion Antonio Nieves(16-0-1, 8 KOs) av Cleveland, Ohio, forsvare sin tittel mot Alejandro “Peque Santiago (11-2-1, 3 KOs), av Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
Billetter til dette arrangementet, presented by Salita Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions, er tilgjengelig på www.rhinossoccer.com/og http://www.etix.com.
Mayfield, who has held and defended the NABO Super Lightweight Championship, beatenuncrowned” verdensmester Mauricio Herrera ved enstemmig avgjørelse, 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 ganger.
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,” sa 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 med 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.

He has been in with some quality guys and I have to be able to beat guys like him to get to the top ones. I’m looking forward to getting the job done on August 19th.

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: Den nye generasjonen.

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 KOs), has been matched against very tough opposition throughout his career. His only blemishes were to opponents with a combined record of 46-0 (38 KOs) – Colombian 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 påske Jr. for the vacant IBF World Lightweight Title on Sju. 9.

This is Mamadjonov’s third start since losing to Commey and his secondShoBox utseende. I sin ShoBox debut i april, 2013 i 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 KOs), a prospect at 118 pounds, 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 MojicaJuni 18 i 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 KOs), av Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, 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. I sin siste kamp på Februar. 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 pounds.

This is what the Miller, Eyubov and promoter Dmitriy Salita said Tuesday:

 

JARRELL “BIG BABY” MILLER

On Training Camp…

“Training camp is going real well. I put on a lot of muscle for this camp, I’m going to put on a lot of solid mass, I am going to go in there and manhandle it. Like a chew toy in a dog’s mouth, I want to mangle it.

 

“I’m really committed to this training camp. I’ve made some changes: less cheeseburgers. I cut down from three cheeseburgers to one cheeseburger a day. Same thing, in the gym every day, not doing anything different. My main thing is my strength and my speed and we are going to see, såsom August. 19."

On His Opponent, Fred Kassi…

“Supposedly Fred Kassi is the most durable guy I have fought in my whole entire boxing career. This is what they are saying and I tip my hat off to the guy; he’s been in some fights where I thought he won and he ended up on the wrong side of the decision. When he fought other fighters, he had three weeks training camp, two weeks’ notice. He had two months to get ready for this. I’m not a last-minute opponent. He’s going to come in ready and I’m not about to underestimate him.

“I’m a boxer-puncher and he’s more one-dimensional. He switches back and forth, he’s not pretty at what he does, but no worries, you can look at me, because I am nice at what I do.

I predict a fifth-sixth round knockout. Kassi is definitely a doable guy, but I feel once he sees my size and my pressure and the speed that I bring with my footwork – it’s going to be game over for him. I know for a fact I’m going to knock out Fred Kassi, fifth or sixth round. Det er hva jeg gjør, I take your heart, I take your soul, I take your ribs.”

On Deontay Wilder…

“Wilder is a wild man when he gets in that ring, but at the same time if you watch how he performs, he performs at a mediocre level against mediocre fighters. If you stick him to a world professional athlete, like myself or top guys, you’ll see him bring even more. Not saying he hasn’t been in the ring with A+ fighters yet, but you can see all his loopholes in his fighting style. It’s just a matter of time before he gets really exposed and I hope it is with me because I want that behind.

“Shorter fighters do what they do, taller fighters do what they do. Deontay is tall but he doesn’t do what his body is designed to do; he’s trying to do something that smaller guys do, so that is going to be his downfall. Like I said, it is just a matter of time and I am going to break him in half, him and his toothpick legs.

“I was watching the livestream of the Wilder-Arreola fight and it was horrible. It was horrible because he is the heavyweight champion of the world. He doesn’t understand that he is doing more damage to himself than he thinks he is. He’s getting hurt. He’s getting hit. He’s taking some punishment.

 

“I want to fight Wilder. If he sees my style, if he sees my footwork, he’ll realize I’m no Arthur Pin eller Chris Arreola. And when I get in there, vel, most of my fights end up in knockouts. Jeg er 100 percent power. Once I touch them, they are getting hurt.”

 

On Anthony Joshua…

“Joshua is overrated, overhyped. I am going to break that jaw of his. Definitely one of the weakest of the heavyweight champs.

 

“It comes down to the basics. You have a lot of guys that have a lot of punching power and basic skills and that’s not enough. Joshua is a basic heavyweight, a one-two fighter. I could cut that half way across the ring.

 

“I’d fight Joshua when the timing is right. I personally don’t want to go and fight Joshua just because I’m his ‘next.’ I think that when the time is right, it’ll be me and him at the MGM Grand on pay-per-view. One of those super sweepstakes fights, you know.”

 

On Tyson Fury…

“I like Tyson Fury, I still want to break his fingers in half but he is good for the sport of boxing and I feel like me and him for a main event will sell any arena out. He talks a lot of smack and he does back it up, but he is still a jokester and I am real. I will smash him if he tries to step on me in the press conference. I will knock him out, same way I will for everyone else.

“A fight between us two will be like Comedy Central on steroids, it would be bananas. It would sell out kind of like a Mayweather-Pacquiao … I feel like we can capture the heavyweight division and put it back on the map, just because of the way he talks. As an American heavyweight I feel like we have to take over American soil first. I’ll fight anywhere and anytime, but on the business side, I have to take over my country first.”

On the Heavyweight Division…

“They better get motivated now because I’m coming. I’m hungry and I’m motivated. SHOWTIME is having me on the main event on national television. I’m telling you I’m coming, and I’m coming to stay. They better get ready.

 

“I’m different to all the heavyweights out there. I’m not chasing a pay day. I’m chasing a legacy. I’m trying to change the layout. I’m trying to change the game. I’m trying to change my future and make history at the same time.”

 

BAKHTIYAR EYUBOV

“I have had hard training camps before, but this is up there. It’s one of the most intense camps I’ve ever had. I know that people expect me to deliver another knockout, but I’m training to go the distance. I’m scheduled to go 10 rounds and I am preparing myself as best as I can.

 

“My opponent is an experienced and tough fighter. Perhaps my toughest test to date. I’m confident in my skills. He can run, but he can’t hide. There are only four corners, I’ll find him and I’ll do what I came here to do: win.”

 

DMITRIY SALITA

“It is a great honor to be able to promote a show on SHOWTIME and both of these fighters. Miller and Eyubov are both willing to show that they are some of the best in their respective divisions.

 

“It is going to be a great event, happening at a special venue in Rochester at the soccer stadium, outside in the summer time. The show has all the ingredients to be a key event of the summer.”

 

UNDEFEATED AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT JARRELL MILLER TO FACE TOUGH VETERAN FRED KASSI ON FRIDAY, August. 19 IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: DEN NYE GENERASJON

NEW YORK (Juni 30, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight Jarrell Miller claims he’s America’s top heavyweight prospect. “Big Baby” will get a chance to back up his boast when he faces his toughest test to date in veteran Fred Cat i hovedturneringen av ShoBox: Den nye generasjonenFredag, August. 19.

 

The confident and hard-hitting Miller (17-0-1, 15 KOs) and the durable and vastly experienced Kassi (18-5-1, 10 KOs) will headline a tripleheader live on SHOWTIME ved 10 pm. OG/PT from the outdoor soccer venue Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y..

 

Two undefeated young bantamweight prospects will square off in theShoBox co-feature as world-ranked Nikolay Potapov (14-0-1, 6 KOs) og Antonio Nieves (16-0-1, 8 KOs) meet in a 10-round bantamweight bout.

 

I åpnings bout av sendingen, undefeated welterweight knockout artist Bakhtiyar Eyubov (10-0, 10 KOs) will face battle-tested veteran Karim Mayfield (19-3-1, 11 KOs) in a 10-round match.

 

Tickets for the event presented by Salita Promotions go on sale denne fredagen ved Noon ET og er tilgjengelig på http://www.rhinossoccer.com/og http://www.etix.com

 

“This is an amazing opportunity. I’m in the main event going against a tough opponent, and he’s definitely game to fight,” Miller said. “I’m ready to put his lights out like I do everybody else. I know he’s durable and a little older than me. He’s a tough guy and he can take a beating. Så langt, he’s only been stopped once. I’ll be the second.

 

“I’m going back to basics in this camp. I’m an advanced fighter, but there are a couple of things I’ve wanted to work on. It’s easy for heavyweights to rely on power and forget about technique. You see what happened to Dominic Breazeale against Anthony Joshua? His power didn’t mean jack because there was no technique behind it. I want to be the kind of fighter who puts his technique first and power last.”

 

“I approach Jarrell like all young fighters,” Kassi said. “I’m a seasoned pro that has fought top-tier opponents. Jarrell will have to bring his ‘A game’ against me. He’s got size and power, but it’s nothing I haven’t seen. I’m tired of getting robbed by judges like in El Paso (against Chris Arreola), and in Alabama (against Dominic Breazeale). That should have been me fighting Anthony Joshua in The O2. Against (Hughie) Fury, the cut saved him. Another round or two and he would have been done. Then we heard what we always hear, ‘oh, Fury had a bad night, so did Breazeale, so did Arreola.’ They all seem to have ‘bad’ nights when I’m in the other corner. I’m hoping to actually get some credit when Miller has a ‘bad’ night too. I’m a heavyweight boxer, that’s boxer underlined. I move my feet, I use angles, I hit and don’t get hit. That’s boxing and it’s my art. Boxing fans are going to have a great time watching me dismantle a giant.”

 

“I am very happy to be back on SHOWTIME fighting the best opponent of my career,” Eyubov said. “I know this will be my hardest fight to date and that’s what motivates me. I am grateful that I am getting an opportunity to prove myself and I want to show that I am ready for the best fighters in the world. I am ready for the boxing world to know my name. August 19, Karim Mayfield, here I come.”

 

“This will be a special event at Rochester Rhinos soccer stadium. We have America’s brightest heavyweight contender in Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller and a knockout sensation out of Brooklyn by way of Kazakhstan in Bakhtiyar ‘Bakha’ Eyubov,” promoter Dmitriy Salita sa. “This show has all the ingredients to be one of the most talked about boxing events of the summer, and we think Miller has all the skills and charisma to break through in the heavyweight division. I am grateful to SHOWTIME and Rhinos Stadium that boxing fans will witness talented fighters in their toughest fights to date. I look forward to an explosive night of boxing.”

 

“Wendy and I are so excited to be hosting both SHOWTIME and the fighting debut of Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller at Rhinos Stadium,"Sa Wendy og David Dworkin, owners of the Rochester Rhinos soccer stadium. "August 19 will be a great opportunity to showcase our stadium and the City of Rochester to a nationwide audience.”

 

The menacing Miller, a 6-foot-4 Brooklyn, N.Y.. mors, is a consensus top 15 heavyweight – he’s ranked No. 8 i WBO, Do Not. 9 in the WBA and No. 14 i IBF. The 27-year-old former professional kickboxer has knocked out six consecutive opponents as he’s risen through the rankings as one of America’s top heavyweight hopes. Prior to Miller’s knockout of Nick GuivasMai 27, his previous two fights were onShoBox – a third round destruction of Akhror Muralimov last October and a knockout of Donovan Dennis in January in which he was pushed to the seventh round for the first time.

 

Kassi has been in with some of the most recognizable names in the heavyweight division, Inkludert Amir Mansour, Dominic Breazeale og Hughie Fury. The 36-year-old fought to a disputed majority draw with three-time world title challenger Chris Arreola last July on PBC on CBS in which most ringside observers, Inkludert ShoBox analytiker Steve Farhood, had Kassi winning by a wide margin. The New Orleans resident has been stopped just once – in 2014 by Mansour – and stands as an excellent barometer for Miller’s progression as a legitimate contender.

 

The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, Russland, is ranked in the top 15 in three of the four sanctioning bodies (Do Not. 7 WBO, Do Not. 13 IBF, Do Not. 14 WBA) after just 15 profesjonelle kamper. A former amateur standout with over 200 kamper, the 25-year-old Potapov has already gone at least 10 rounds seven times since turning professional in 2010. The only blemish on his record is a draw with undefeated prospect Stephon Young i sin siste kamp på April 15ShoBox.

 

Coincidently, the only blemish on Antonio Nieves’ record is a 2015 draw with Stephon Young. The 29-year-old is coming off his first 10-round performance, a unanimous decision over then once-beaten Oscar Mojica juni 18. The Cleveland, Ohio native will face his toughest opponent to date in fellow unbeaten Potapov in the matchup of unbeaten bantamweights.

 

The Brooklyn-based Eyubov has passed every test he’s faced, and knocked out all of his opponents in the process. The 29-year-old native of Kazakhstan is coming off an impressive third-round stoppage of veteran Jared Robinson last January on ShoBox. Eyubov will step up his level of opposition when he faces Karim Mayfield, a 35-year-old veteran who owns wins over Mauricio Herrera og Steve Forbes and has never been stopped in 23 kamper.

Andre Ward (27-0, 14 KO s) – OL-gullvinner og WBA Super Mellom verdensmester

"Jeg har ikke følt denne følelsen, kjempe uke i Oakland, på en stund. Forrige uke disse følelsene begynte å sette i. Jeg har vært fokusert og gjør seg klar, men kampen uke er bare annerledes. Uansett omfanget av kampen bør du føler at dette. Jeg er spent. Jeg er vant til denne type press. "

 

"Smith er en europeisk mester. Han har ikke noe problem å reise. Han bryr seg ikke om han blør. Hvis du slår ham ned, han kommer til å vinne, og det er derfor vi plukket ham. Vi gjorde ikke plukke ham fordi det var noe mykt om ham. Vi plukket ham fordi han er en tøff konkurrent. Jeg er glad for at alle plutselig han begynte å snakke som han gjorde sist uke. Jeg var nesten å bli fornærmet over at han ikke sa noe. Jeg er så vant til gutta snakket mye. Så, han endelig begynte å snakke, og jeg elsket det. Det er ikke det at jeg trengte mer motivasjon, men det er bare litt ekstra. "

 

"Jeg kommer tilbake av to oppsigelser. I løpet av det siste camp, Jeg følte meg mye bedre enn jeg har i det siste. Jeg gjorde mer. Min skulder føles sterkere, og jeg tror dere alle kommer til å se at på lørdag kveld. "

 

"Hver fighter har sin egen personlige kamp. Du kan ikke forutsi hva disse utfordringene og kamper kommer til å være, og du kan ikke forutsi hvor lenge de kommer til å være. Jeg var i stand til å holde ut gjennom det. Paul Smith er ikke bare kjemper Andre Ward ut av en åtte ukers leir, Han kjemper Andre Ward ut av alt jeg bare gikk gjennom. Alle frustrasjoner, alle forsinkelser, alle disse følelsene ... han kjemper den fyren kommer lørdag kveld. "

 

"Hver kamp for meg er en Super Bowl. Jeg har ikke tapt i en meget lang tid. Vi forberedt på alt som Paul Smith kommer til å ha, og alt han kommer til å bringe til bordet. Det er en vakker ting når kjempe uke kommer rundt og du vet at du ikke kutte noen hjørner. Hver rep telte for meg i denne leiren. Hver runde telles for meg. Jeg presset forbi hva treneren min ville at jeg skulle gjøre. Det var ikke noe lys på denne leiren. Jeg hører Smith leir snakker mye om ring rust, og hvis det er det de er banktjenester på, de har feil spillet planen kommer 20. juni "

 

"The game plan er å razzle, dazzle, være eksplosiv og gjøre alt. Jeg må være klar som en profesjonell. Virgil har fortalt meg hele denne leiren 'Det er ingen spill plan for Paul Smith. La det komme til deg. Du har blitt boksing lenge nok til at når du kommer i ringen vet du hva du skal gjøre. Vi vil foreta justeringer underveis, men det er ikke en bestemt plan for Paul Smith. Jeg tror du kommer til å se alt kommer lørdag kveld. Jeg kommer ikke til å tvinge den. Jeg skal bare la det flyte. "

 

"Denne byen er en stor kamp tid. Det er ikke bare Oakland. Det er San Francisco. Det er Haywayd. Det er Stockton. Det er alle de omkringliggende byer. Hver gang de har en av sine egne i forkant, de støtter, og det er det jeg liker med Bay Area. "

 

 

Paul Smith (35-5, 20 KO s) – Tidligere verdensmester tittel Challenger

"Den siste store gym session jeg hadde var dette siste fredag. Alt jeg kunne muligens gjort skjedd i løpet av min treningsleir. Den siste uken er alt om avslappende, hvile, få energinivået opp og vekten nede. "

 

"Når [trener] Joe [Gallagher] blir i [til Oakland], Vi vil sitte ned og han vil påpeke ting straks at vi må jobbe ut ... hva som må skyve, spillet plan. Konsentrere seg om spillet plan og taktikk. Vi skal se bånd av Ward og dissekere dem. "

 

"Det er flott å ha folk i gym i dag. I går, vi kom til Kongens Gym å gjøre en treningsøkt, og det var litt mer rolig. Det er fint å ha en god atmosfære som dette i gymsalen. Alle vet det er en kamp denne uken, og det er flott å ha barna (fra Boys and Girls Club of Oakland) her. "

 

"Jeg elsker Oakland. Det er tøft, men det er tøft der jeg er fra for. Liverpool er tøff. Jeg virkelig håper at finalen går til spill sju, så det er en stor helg for Oracle Arena. Det ville bringe noen atmosfære til arenaen kvelden før kampen. Jeg vil sannsynligvis ikke få noe søvn på grunn av støy. "

 

"Det er ikke mye mer jeg kan gjøre for å forberede seg nå. Det er ingenting Andre kan gjøre i dag for å hjelpe slå meg på lørdag kveld. Uansett hva vi har begge gjort i ukene før er det vi skal i ringen med. Jeg kan ikke få noe sprekere. Spillet plan er gjort. Jeg er i en posisjon hvor jeg får til å kjempe den beste fighter i min avdeling på planeten. Jeg vet at mer enn noen. Ingen trenger å minne meg om at, men jeg vet også jeg har en sjanse til å slå ham. Jeg vet at jeg må bare gjøre det jeg må gjøre og holde seg til spillet plan. "

 

 

Aaron Coley (9-1-1, 6 KO s) – Junior Mellom Prospect

"Jeg har trent på samme gym som André Ward for denne kampen. Det er veldig spennende for meg å kjempe i Oakland. Jeg har om 200 folk kommer til kampen. Jeg leter etter en stans i denne kampen, på ekte. Jeg kommer ut av den første tapet av min karriere, og jeg kjemper for første gang i Oakland, så jeg er ute etter å imponere. Jeg ønsker å få den stans tidlig. "

 

Meng "Cold Blood" Fanlong (1-0) – Lett tungvekt Prospect

 

"Jeg er veldig glad og beæret over å være på denne store begivenheten på Oracle Arena på lørdag, Juni 20 med Andre Ward. Jeg er veldig beæret over å være med å kjempe på samme kort som verdensmester Andre Ward. "
