Team Shumenov responds to Lebedev vs. Gassiev world title fight announcement

Laat een reactie achter
LAS VEGAS (Augustus 17,, 2016) – Team Shumenov believes it is worth reviewing recent history enlight of the recent announcement that WBA Super/IBF cruiserweight world champion Denis Lebedev will defend against Murat Gassiev in late November or early December in Russia: A condition for allowing Lebedev to fight IBF cruiserweight champion Victor Emilio Ramirez op mei 21, 2016 was that Lebedev had to fight WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu binnenin 120 dagen. (Lebedev hasn’t made a mandatory defense since April 10, 2015.) Shumenov has done everything to make that fight, while Lebedev has done nothing but run from his mandatory title fight. When it first became obvious in June that Lebedev was trying to avoid his mandated WBA title fight, Shumenov repeatedly requested that the WBA order a purse bid.
Lebedev ignored the WBA and then recently sought, after the WBA deadline had passed, a special permit allowing him to fight Gassiev, which Shumenov officially objected to binnenin 48 uur. WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion yunier Dorticos has also objected. At this present time, hoewel, Team Shumenov is still waiting to hear the WBA’s ruling in terms of stripping Lebedev if he decides to fight Gassiev instead of Shumenov.
It really is very simple. Shumenov wants to fight Lebedev, who is doing everything he can to avoid it. If Lebedev doesn’t care to meet his obligations and conditions of his prior special permit, he should relinquish his title. Lebedev and his people need to rejoin the rest of us in the real world and stop claiming that Shumenov has not been pushing for this fight.
According to a recent report, Lebedev’s camp members erroneously reported that, “Shumenov is not exactly pushing the issue” (to fight Lebedev next).

Team Shumenov petitions WBA to declare purse bid for mandatory title fight vs. Lebedev or strip Lebedev of his world cruiserweight title belt

Laat een reactie achter
LAS VEGAS (Juli 22, 2016) – It has been more than a month since World Boxing Association (WBA) world cruiserweight champion Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KO), based on the much publicized WBA Cruiserweight Tournament rules and regulations, petitioned the WBA to either declare a purse bid for a title fight between WBA Super cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev, or strip Lebedev of his title belt for being non-compliant.
Afgelopen juli, Shumenov defeated B.J. Bloemen by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the WBA mandatory challenger for Lebedev, who hasn’t fought a mandatory defense since April 10, 2015.
The WBA issued a resolution this past April that Lebedev, who defeated Victor Emelio Ramirez in May to also become International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion, must fight Shumenov binnenin 120 dagen of the latter’s May 21, 2016 knockout victory over Junior Wright.
On record for making changes to insure only one world champion in each division, incredibly, the WBA presently has 38 different world title belt holders in only 17 different weight classes. Only three WBA divisions have one world champion – super lichtgewicht, lightweight and light flyweight – and eight have three world titlists, including its cruiserweight division, which presently has world champions in Lebedev, Shumenov and Interim champion yunier Dorticos, who is the WBA second mandatory challenger.
In an apparent public relations move, the WBA has suddenly declared this month a rash of mandatory defenses, echter, declaring and actually making these title fights are two different things, as Shumenov has unfortunately learned. The WBA should have ordered a Lebedev vs. Shumenov purse bid on June 21, 2016, when the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement, but the WBA failed to do so. When Shumenov repeated his request for a purse bid in June, the WBA failed once again to act.
WBA Rule D: Purse Bids
1. Call For Purse Bid. Bout participants shall reach an agreement on holding the bout no later than ninety (90) days before the expiration of the mandatory period. To confirm an agreement has been reached, the WBA must receive acceptable bout contracts signed by the boxers certifying they have reached terms for the bout. If no agreement has been reached, the Championships Committee, with the approval of the President, can call for Purse bid. A boxer may also request a purse bid at any time.
Lebedev’s promoter, Andrei Ryabinsky, has been quoted in stories about having a deal in place for his fighter to defend his IBF title first. In effect, the WBA is allowing Lebedev to hold the WBA Super cruiserweight title belt hostage, leveraging it against his IBF crown. Shumenov, who is a former WBA Super light heavyweight champion, has now proudly worn the WBA belt around his waist for a total of nearly five years.
“I was looking forward to fighting Lebedev and I don’t understand his unwillingness and refusal to step in the ring with me,” Shumenov zei.
Team Shumenov is extremely disappointed in the WBA’s failure to act on making the fight with Lebedev that it mandated, in addition to being discouraged by the WBA’s failure, after several requests had been made, to either set a purse bid date or strip Lebedev of his world title belt. Not knowing if or when the WBA is finally going to rule has left Shumenov unable to book any fights. The WBA’s failure to enforce its own purse bid rule, or strip Lebedev, has unfairly prevented Shumenov from earning a living while at the peak of his pro boxing career.
Shumenov is the only native Kazakh to be a two-division world champion. Now a resident of Las Vegas, he also represented his native Kazakhstan at the 2004 Olympics in Greece.

LAS VEGAS (Mei 21, 2016) – Op een avond Erislandy "The American Dream" Lara verdedigde met succes zijn WBA Superweltergewichtkampioenschap met een zwaarbevochten unaniem besluit van 12 ronden Vanes “De Nachtmerrie” Martirosyan, ongeslagen broers Jermall en Jermell Charlo, Houston, werd de eerste tweeling in de boksgeschiedenis die wereldtitels in dezelfde gewichtsklasse behaalde.

 

Jermall Charlo (24-0, 18 KO) behield zijn IBF Junior middengewicht Wereldkampioenschap met een unanieme beslissing van 12 ronden over de voormalige wereldkampioen Austin “No Doubt” Trout (30-3, 17 KO) van Las Cruces, N.M., in de tweede van drie wereldtitelgevechten Showtime Championship Boxing® uit De Chelsea binnen De kosmopoliet van Las Vegas.

 

In het openingsgevecht van de uitzending met drie gevechten, Jermell Charlo (28-0, 13 KO) verdiende het vacante WBC Superweltergewicht Wereldkampioenschap door zich van vijf punten achterstand te verzamelen en een knock-out in de achtste ronde te registreren John “Da Rock” Jackson (20-3, 15 KO), van St. Thomas, Virgin Islands (Video-hoogtepunten: http://s.sho.com/1VeFFVq).

 

Lara versloeg Martirosyan in het hoofdevenement met scores van 116-111 tweemaal en 115-112. Er waren geen knockdowns. Martirosyan kreeg een punt in mindering vanwege een lage klap in de 11th in een herkansing van een mei 2012 gevecht dat eindigde in een technisch gelijkspel.

 

Eén minuut na elkaar geboren, de eeneiige tweeling vierde hun feest 26th verjaardag afgelopen donderdag, Mei 19. Jermall is een minuut ouder dan Jermell.

 

Jermall Charlo hield zich aan zijn spelplan en vocht achter zijn prik, het werpen 292 jabs en aansluiten op een 18 procent clip. Het was een evenwichtige aanval van beide vechters, maar de kracht en nauwkeurigheid van de fysiek grotere Charlo was een verschil.

 

“Het was geen strijd, het was een geweldige ervaring,zei Charlo na zijn tweede succesvolle titelverdediging. “Ik wil God bedanken dat Hij mij en mijn tweelingbroer deze dag heeft laten meemaken. Geschiedenis.

 

“Austin is een geweldige vechter. Hij is een beest. Dit was de eerste keer dat ik ging 12, maar dat maakte niet uit, want ik wist dat ik in vorm was.

 

“Mijn spelplan was om uit te voeren met de prik. Ik wist dat hij zou proberen mij tegen te houden, maar dat is niet gebeurd. Er is geen manier waarop je een leeuw kunt temmen.

 

“Het voelde goed omdat ik wist dat mijn broer de klus zou klaren. Wij horen op dit niveau. We hebben deze titels nodig om de grote gevechten te kunnen voeren en we zullen deze titels behouden om te blijven stijgen.

 

“Ik ben van gedachten veranderd — we blijven hier (bij 154). Maken 154 ponden waren niet zo erg als iedereen het deed voorkomen.

 

“Petje af voor Jermall Charlo. Hij heeft een verdomd gevecht gestreden,'Zei Austin Trout. “Ik had het gevoel dat ik genoeg deed om te winnen. Ze zullen mij geen definitieve beslissing geven, dus het is tijd om deze katten uit te laten. Maar ik kan geen excuses verzinnen. Ik heb me kapot gevochten, Charlo vocht zich kapot en petje af voor hem.

 

‘Ik ga leven om nog een dag te vechten. Je gaat me terugzien. We zijn hier krijgers. ''

 

Twee minuten na de achtste ronde, Jermell Charlo, achterlopend 69-64 op de scorekaarten van de drie juryleden, landde een perfecte tegenrechterhand voor Jacksons linkeroog. Terwijl Jackson zijn hoede liet vallen om er zeker van te zijn dat zijn mondstuk op zijn plaats zat, Jermell maakte contact met nog twee rechterhanden waardoor Jackson voorover in zijn hoek viel. Weerloos en schijnbaar overeind, scheidsrechter Tony Weeks greep meteen in en stopte er mee 0:51.

 

“Het is geschiedenis,zei Jermell, die aan de wedstrijd deelnam als de WBC nr. 1 mededinger en werd de 66th ShoBox: The New Generation vechter om een ​​wereldtitel te veroveren.

 

“Wij hebben het gedaan. Veel vechters komen niet uit Houston en wij hebben het gedaan. Ik wacht op mijn broer. We hebben al die jaren gebokst en het moest gebeuren.

 

“Ik stond achter. Hij was aan het boksen, hij bewoog zich veel. Dat was onverwacht van hem. Ik dacht dat hij naar buiten zou komen om te vechten. Ik moest een aanpassing maken en dat heb ik gedaan.

 

“Toen hij begon te vertragen, Ik kon hem met een schot vangen. Ik wist dat als hij door had kunnen gaan, hij terug had kunnen komen, dus ik moest hem slaan.

 

Terwijl beiden selectief waren met hun stoten, gewoon gooien 427 gecombineerde schoten gedurende acht en een halve ronde, Jermell was de nauwkeurigere jager. De nieuwe WBC-kampioen is geland 23 procent van zijn totale stoten, inclusief 34 procent van zijn powershots tegen Jackson.

“Het was een reis om hier te komen,zei Jackson, de WBC's No. 2 mededinger die erin gaat en zoon van voormalig wereldkampioen Julian "The Hawk" Jackson.

 

“Ik heb het gevoel dat ik voorop liep en te kort kwam. Hij betrapte mij met een klap en ik probeerde mijn mondstuk te repareren. Toen sloeg hij mij en ik was weg. Het raakte mij in mijn oog, maar mijn mondstuk kwam eruit. Ik probeerde mijn mondstuk weer naar binnen te duwen en hij sloeg me. Ik wist waar ik was. Het verbijsterde mij, maar ik werd niet uitgeschakeld.

 

“Het is boksen. Het was een geweldig gevecht. Ik had het gevoel dat ik het gevecht aan het winnen was, Ik werd gepakt en dat was het.

 

“Ik heb de strijd aan mijn vader opgedragen en ik hoop dat ik hem niet in de steek heb gelaten. Ik kwam tekort. Je wint wat en je verliest wat.”

 

Zei de oudste Jackson: “Ik ben trots. Het heeft ons veel gekost om zo ver te komen. Ik weet dat mijn mensen trots zijn. Wij zijn sterke mensen en we komen terug.”

 

SHOWTIME's Steve Farhood called the Lara vs. Martirosyan rematch “a typical Lara fight.”

 

“As usual Lara’s style is extremely difficult for the judges to score,"Zei Farhood. “He’s so selective with his punches, yet he lands such a high percentage of them. And to make it even more difficult, a lot of Martirosyan’s body punches were blocked. The judges agreed on seven of the 12 rondes. It clearly was a close fight and what got Lara over the top was the 10-8 score in round 11.

 

“We benefit from the use of replay. Watching the punch that brought the deduction on replay, I believe that it wasn’t a low blow.

 

“Lara did what Lara does. Martirosyan fought about as well as he could. The difference was Lara’s accuracy and ring generalship. I think Martirosyan’s competitiveness made it a good fight.”

 

Lara, 33, was making his fourth title defense. “This is normal,” said Lara who landed 60 percent of the 160-plus power punches. “This is boxing, not baseball. Low blows and headbutts happen. I’m a very intelligent fighter and at no point did I feel this fight was going to be lost.

 

“My mother and kids are still there so it would be a great privilege to go fight in my native Cuba. Everything is possible in this world. I didn’t think I’d be champion of the world and here I am.

 

“I want to tell Team Vanes thank you for giving me the rematch. Ik ben klaar om iedereen te vechten. I’d like to fight Canelo.

 

“The Charlo brothers are my teammates and having three of us going back as champions is a great thing.”

 

Martirosyan, the aggressor throughout, disputed the decision.

 

“I was chasing him all night,"Hij zei. “I put on the pressure. I thought I did enough to win. That was not a low blow. Replays show the trunks were high.

 

“I never ducked anyone. No one wanted to fight Lara. I stepped up and fought him again. I’ll fight anyone.”

 

Undefeated IBF No. 1 contender and mandatory challenger Julian “J Rock” Williams (22-0-1, 14 KO), was interviewed between fights by SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING’s BrianCuster. Williams, van Philadelphia, has been calling out the Charlo Twins.

 

“I can’t get the fights I deserve,'Zei Williams. “But I’ve got a good team. I have Al Haymon and he got me the mandatory for the winner of Charlo-Trout. Guys know it’s a rough fight if they step in with me. And they know 99 percent of the time they will lose.

 

“Jermall Charlo is an undefeated champion. Ik ben ongeslagen. That’s what boxing is all about – two young, hungry champions going at it in their primes. Zo, I am interested in fighting Jermall Charlo.”

 

On Charlo saying he’s sick of reading your tweets and he’d like to shut you up…

 

“Goed, he doesn’t have to wait much longer so he doesn’t have any choice now,'Zei Williams. “I’m the mandatory and if he wins, we are going to fight next.”

 

Brian Custer hosted the SHOWTIME telecast, met Mauro Ranallo calling the action, Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and former two-time world champion Paulie Malignaggicommentating en Jim Gray rapportage. In de Spaanse simulcast, Alejandro Luna called the blow-by-blow and former world champion Raul Marquez served as color commentator.

Liggen. at The Cosmopolitan. Op Zaterdag they look to become the first twin brothers to hold world titles at the same time in the same weight class.
Hier is wat de strijders moesten donderdag zeggen:
Erislandy LARA
“I plan on going in there and getting into my zone and making the adjustments that will allow me to be victorious.
“One difference between this fight and our last fight is that I’m coming into this fight 100 procent gezond. I’m not making any excuses but I had a fractured knuckle going into our first fight. I still felt I was winning the fight. This time I’m not going to leave any doubt about who is the best.
“I have no pressure on me. I feel calm. Part of that comes with experience but I also know that I’m going to go in there and execute my game plan like I always do.
“I’m always stuck in controversial fights because of my fighting style.
“I’m excited to be sharing the stage with the Charlo brothers. We have trained together, so being part of this with them is great.
“Vanes’s a lot more passive than he was for the first fight. He was telling me I better be ready.
“I’m going to do what I have to do. Put my game plan together, put my punches together, I’m going to do everything that I have to do to be victorious op zaterdag nacht.
On how he’s improved from the first fight…
“The fundamentals are always there. Every fighter gets better with every fight. You get a little bit more experience and that’s the difference.”
VANES Martirosyan
“I’ve had a tremendous camp. I have a great team. I’ve had incredible sparring partners and I can’t wait for the real thing op zaterdag.
“I’m in the best shape of my life and I’ve never been so ready. I don’t have to tell you what I’m going to do up here, because you’re going to see it op zaterdag nacht. Actions speak louder than words. This is going to be the best Vanes you’ll ever see.
“This time around I am definitely going to be more aggressive. I cannot wait for Zaterdag.
“There is a different feeling for me in this fight than ever before. It’s for a world title, this is as big as it gets.
“It is the ‘Dream’ versus the ‘Nightmare,’ and you’ll definitely see the ‘Nightmare’ op zaterdag nacht.
On what he saw in Lara’s eyes when they faced off…
“A fighter looking at another fighter. I see hunger in both eyes.
“A lot of the first fight, I was kind of inexperienced but we’ve matured a lot throughout the years. Four years into this game, a lot of experience, a lot of knowledge in the game so there’s a lot I learned from the first fight.
“The whole division is here, it’s awesome. They should do this more often and I’m happy that SHOWTIME put together such a great card.”
Charlo JERMALL
“Every fight on this card could have been the main event. To be on a card like this with all these great fighters is exciting.
“Boxing has a lot of really big fights with the Charlos coming in the future. We’re going to take it one step at a time. This is a great fight that we have in front of us.
“I’m very proud of my brother, to have accomplished what he has at 26-years-old, coming from where we came from.
“Dit is een enorme strijd voor mij. This is more to me than winning a world title. I put my all into this. None of Trout’s experience matters. I’m a real lion and I’m going to show it.
“Austin Trout is just a name to me. He beat Cotto, dus? I have work to do. I’m focused on getting the job done.
“We (the brothers) both do different things, but we also have the same skills and the same power. No one in the division can match up to us.
“We always thought that we would be winners and that we would be competing at the top level. Now it’s time to make history. We want to prove why we’re at the top.
“Me and my brother have always wanted to be champions at the same time. There’s never been anything like this. This era, you will get a chance to enjoy us. We’ve worked very hard to get here and we’re going to reign on this level.
“Na dit, I’m coming for the (160-pound fighters). To be a top pound-for-pound fighter you need to dominate different divisions and that is my goal. That doesn’t mean I’m struggling with weight. I feel good right now but I think I will be even stronger at 160.
“Mei 21 there is nothing that is going to stop me from losing my belt.”
AUSTIN TROUT
“It’s no coincidence that I’m back at the top making a title run. I paid my dues and put in all the hard work necessary.
“I have nothing bad to say about Jermall as a person or a fighter. Maar aan het eind van de dag, the history will be my own. I’m going to use him for my legacy, not the other way around.
“I worked hard to get here. I’m sharp and on weight. There is nothing that I feel like he can do to beat me that night.
“Charlo took a chance with this fight. There is no mistake in taking a chance. But will the chance end up in his favor? I hardly doubt it. This won’t be easy. I’m never in easy fights. They’re always great fights.
“Size won’t be a problem. He still has to make 154 pond.
“I want to thank Jermall for taking this fight. He’s doing something that a lot of people won’t do. Maar aan het eind van de dag, I’m going to be the lion tamer. I’m going to tame that lion.”
What flaws do you see?…
“I don’t want to tell you about his flaws because he might fix them by Zaterdag, but we see a couple flaws.
On if it would hurt him to move up to 160…
“It may, it may not. We’re not looking at any extra edge or wishing to put all our eggs in one basket. What we’re banking on is our skillset and our grip to come out victorious. Whether it hurts him or not, it’s not going to matter. Only thing it’s going to do is make it easier for me.
“Ik ben er geweest, I’ve been to the deep waters. I’ve seen many different types of strategies and styles. In a sense, there’s nothing that he brings to the table that I haven’t seen before.
“I’ve got a big dog in me that you’re going to see Zaterdag nacht. You’re going to see what should have been the main event. Me and Charlo, it’s going to be a great fight and I hope y’all tune in because I’m taking that belt.”
Jermell Charlo
“I appreciate everyone involved in putting this fight together. To me this is a card that people need to be pay attention to. I believe that everyone on this card is going to give it their all, because we all motivated each other to be here.
“I’m fighting John Jackson, the son of a legend. I don’t believe John Jackson will be able to live up to his dad and if his dad ever had to face me, I would have beat him too.
“We’re getting more and more experience. People thought that Gabriel Rosado was too big of a test for me but I dominated that fight. I’m going to pass any test they put in front of me. Over the course of time, you’re eventually going to have to say we the experience.
“I’m proud of what my brother has done. His success motivates me. He’s a world champion. These are the kind of things we look forward to.
“This is our time. There is no more that we can say. There is a lot that’s coming ahead of us.
“Ik kom om te winnen. I trained hard. It’s time for a world title for me. I have to fulfill my end of the bargain. John Jackson has been in wars, maar ik ook. This is our time, me and my brother’s.
“Being on the same card as my brother is already a high standard so being on a card with the rest of the undercard guys, I’m honored and ready to show what I have to do. I’m ready to make history. I’m ready to win this belt and enjoy my vacation after.
“I’m sticking with 154 nu. I would love to go to 160 because it’s easier for me but because it’s easier that’s why I wouldn’t go up. Maken 154 for him is easy as well, he just sees other options.”
JOHN JACKSON
“I’m extremely blessed to be here. I’m looking to make history. My dad was a champion and I’m going to do the same thing.
“Jermell is just selling the fight. We don’t take anything he says personally. We’ll humble him and put him in his place.
“This is a dream come true and the Jackson legacy will live on.
“Het gaat om een ​​geweldige avond. This could be the best fight of the card, easily. If you watch my career, every single fight I bring it. You’re going to see action and explosiveness.”
On Jermell Charlo’s comments about his father…
“That’s disrespectful. My dad paid his dues and to talk about my dad like that is kind of disrespectful. It’s not getting to me. Fighters use that to try to get in your head but it’s fine, I’ll let him pay in the ring.”
If Jermell’s ego is getting to him…
“Ja, he needs to humble himself. That was a little out of line. But we’ll see what he looks like in the ring.”
On what flaws he sees in his game…
“He has a lot of flaws. How he leans forward and waits a lot. But his style is perfect for my style. I always bring it and give 100 percent and we’re looking for a stoppage.
“It’s going to be explosive don’t miss it. SHOW TIME, it’s going down.”

World champion Beibut Shumenov to defend title vs. Junior Wright this Saturday night in Las Vegas

Laat een reactie achter
LAS VEGAS (Mei 18, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim Cruiserweight Wereldkampioen Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KO) makes his first title defense deze zaterdag nacht (Mei 21) against WBA No. 11-rated Junior “Orkaan” Wright (15-1-1, 12 KO) at The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
“I’m happy to get the opportunity to fight deze zaterdag nacht,” Shumenov zei, “but I wish that I could fight more often. I’ve been ready since January. Every training session I gain new knowledge. I am a completely different fighter than in my last fight.”
Shumenov’s last fight was back in July, in which he defeated B.J. Bloemen (31-1-1, 20 KO) by 12-round unanimous decision in Las Vegas to capture the vacant WBA Interim title, making the former WBA light heavyweight champion Shumenov the first professional boxer from Kazakhstan to be a two-division world champion.
By becoming the WBA Interim cruiserweight champion, Shumenov also became the No. 1 ranked mandatory challenger for WBA Super cruiserweight titlist Denis Lebedev (28-2, 21 KO), who also fights deze zaterdag in Russia against International Boxing Federation (IBF) kampioen Victor Emilio “Tyson de Abasto” Ramirez (22-2-1, 17 KO) in a unification match.
The WBA has already mandated that the Lebedev-Ramirez must fight Shumenovbinnenin 120 dagen. The WBA, echter, has failed to explain why it also declared a WBA “regelmatig” cruiserweight world title fight deze vrijdag night in France between No. 2 yunier Dorticos en nr. 5 Youri Kalenga (since upgraded to No. 3), especially after announcing that it would work this year to have only one world champion in each weight class.
Shumenov, natuurlijk, is risking his mandatory position by fighting Wright, the former 5-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion. “I need to stay active,” Shumenov explained why he’s taking such a risk. “Elk gevecht, I gain experience and it also helps me develop my fighting skills.”
The 12-round Shumenov vs. Wright title fight is on the non-televised portion of The Cosmopolitan show.
