Risk Their Unblemished Records In Other Televised Fights

Vrijdag, Jan. 22 Bij 10:35 p.m. EN/PT

Live op Showtime®

NEW YORK (December. 28, 2015) - ShoBox: The New Generation begins its 15th year on SHOW TIME® with an explosive quadrupleheader on Vrijdag, Jan. 22, 2016 live from Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Ariz. (10:35 p.m. EN/PT, vertraagd op de West Coast).

 

In het main event van de avond, ongeslagen middengewicht Rob "Bravo" Brant (18-0, 11 KO, 0-3 in de World Series of Boxing) van St. Paul, Uit., measures against Atlantic City’s Decarlo Perez (15-3-1, 5 KO) in een 10-round matchup.

 

In co-featured bouts, ongeslagen Harmonito “Hammer” Dela Torre (17-0, 12 KO), of Las Vegas by way of Philippines, makes his United States debut against Rafael Guzman (16-1-1, 10 KO), van Ensenada, Mexico in an eight-round super featherweight bout and undefeated heavyweight Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller (15-0-1, 13 KO) van Brooklyn, N.Y.. faces southpaw Donovan Dennis (14-3, 11 KO, 2-1 in WSB) Cleveland, Ohio in an eight-round scrap.

 

Het openen van de ShoBox uitzending, hard-hitting Bakhtiyar Eyubov (9-0, 9 KO), van Brooklyn, N.Y.. by way of Kazakhstan, voldoet aan Jared Robinson(16-2-1, 7 KO), of Sumter, S.C. in an eight-round super lightweight tiff.

 

The event is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions.

 

Boxing historian and expert ring analyst Steve Farhood has called every fight on ShoBox since it premiered in 2001. He anticipates another year of excellent, competitive matchups in 2016.

 

"In 2015, we had eight fighters who appeared on ShoBox en ging over tot wereldtitels te winnen. That means the average number of shows in which you’ll see a future world champion is one out of four,"Zei Farhood.

 

“We saw some fantastic prospects last year, inclusief Erickson Lubin en Regis Prograis and fresh faces like Jarrett Hurd, Rob Brant—and a fighter who almost seems ready to fight for a title now—SergeyDerevyanchenko. Given ShoBox’s 15-year history, I’m fully expecting that we will have more of the same in 2016.’’

 

Brant, Perez and Miller will be making their second consecutive appearances on ShoBox. Brant and Miller were victorious last Oktober. 23, Perez last Augustus. 28. Robinson will also be making his second ShoBox start; the four other boxers will be making their debuts.

 

“Both Brant and Perez won their most recent appearances on ShoBoxand both were impressive,'' Farhood zei. “Brant took a big step up and outpointed Louis Rose in October and Perez pulled off the upset over the previously unbeaten Juan Ubaldo Cabrera in augustus. So it makes all the sense in the world to match them against each other. On Jan. 22, we’re going to find out just how hot Rob Brant is.’’

Twenty-six-year-old Brant will be headlining his second consecutiveShoBox. In his first, he captured a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Rose. Going 10 rondes voor de eerste keer, Brant triumphed in an entertaining tight fight.

Voordat u pro in november 2010, Brant was a 2010 Nationale Golden Gloves Kampioen op 178 pond en een lid van de U.S.. national boxing team pro. He currently trains in Dallas alongside top prospect Errol Spence Jr.

“I’m really excited about this fight and I’ve been training hard for several weeks now,’’ Brant said. “I’ve got a very serious opponent in front of me. He rates about a 7.7 at everything, which doesn’t leave a whole lot of weaknesses. I’ve got to go back to pure boxing for this one. I have to be better in every department. It’s my second time headlining ShoBox and I plan on improving from the first time, so viewers can chart my progress. This is my time to show my growth.’’

Perez, who hails from a fighting family, has won four straight and nine of his last 10. He scored a surprising, van streek, a 10-round unanimous decision over Cabrera (23-0 naar binnen) tijdens zijn laatste uitje. Perez, die de strijd op een week van tevoren nam, outpointed the two-time Dominican Republic Olympian by the scores of 98-91 tweemaal en 97-92.

“I’m so excited I’m the main event on national television,’’ Perez said. “I don’t know a lot about my opponent but I’m well prepared, zowel mentaal als fysiek. I plan on giving the fans an exciting night.

“Camp is going very well. My management team has brought in top sparring with all undefeated boxers, one being Julian Williams. I’m excited that my trainer is allowing me to fight the majority, if not all of this fight, in the southpaw stance. I’m really a southpaw, but I have fought right-handed most of my career.”

 

Perez’ last loss came on a split eight-round decision to world title challenger Wilky Campfort in januari 2014. Buiten de ring, Perez is a pharmacy technician at an Atlantic City hospital.

 

Molenaar, a former New York Golden Gloves finalist who turned pro in July 2009, is a confident, power-punching heavyweight who comes to knock you out. He won his ShoBox debut, stoppen Akhror Muralimov with a devastating right hand to the chin at 1:03 in de derde ronde.

“I feel like I should have been here two years ago,’’ Miller said. “I’m not coming to make friends. I’m here to annihilate and destroy the whole heavyweight division. On Jan. 22, I’m going to put Donovan Dennis to sleep. I’m not being heard right now, so I have to make myself known. After this fight and what I do to Dennis, things will really, really start to pick up. I’m ready to destroy.’’

 

Besides being a hard hitter, Miller has good overall skills and movement for a big man whose weight fluctuates from fight to fight. He’s won his last four by knockout, all inside three rounds.

Known for an aggressive style, Miller is now fully focused on a fistic career, but he hails from an MMA and kickboxing background. Voor een paar jaar, hij mee in de K-1, historisch 's werelds grootste kickboksen organisatie, en tweemaal vocht tegen de legendarische Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipović.

“There seems to be a new energy and enthusiasm on the American heavyweight scene,'' Farhood zei. “Part of that is explained by the fall of a dominant champion in Wladimir Klitschko and part of it is explained by the emergence of Deontay Wilder, and even Travis Kauffman. So for a young heavyweight like Jarrell Miller, the time seems to be ideal to secure TV exposure and make a name for himself.’’

Dennis, 28, was born and raised in Davenport, Iowa. Before turning pro in June 2010, he was a top-level amateur: 11-time Iowa State Champion, 2011 National Golden Gloves runner-up in and 2012 De. S. Olympic Games Trials contestant.
The 6-foot-4 Dennis possesses good skills, movement and punching power to go with his strong amateur background. His weakness is durability; he’s been knocked out in all of his losses.

 

“I’m ready to fight,’’ Dennis said. “I’ve been training really hard and I am looking forward to the fight. I just want to get this win and move on as I will have a big year in 2016.’’

 

Dela Torre, considered one of the top young talents in the Philippines, will be fighting outside of Asia for the first time. A big puncher and winner of seven straight by knockout, de 5-mond-8, 21-year-old is coming off athird-round TKO over Ricard Betos laatste November. 14.

“It’s every boxer’s dream to fight on big cards in United States. This is the next step in my pathway to becoming world champion,’’ Dela Torre said. “I can’t wait. This is an opportunity I will take advantage of and show everyone I’m ready to step up. I let my team concentrate on my opponents and pass me instructions. I just know I’ll be ready and able to stop any opponent.’’

 

Before turning professional at 17, Dela Torre was a top member on the Philippine National Amateur Boxing Team. As a pro, he has made a “name” for himself after an impressive victory over Jason Butar-Butar on the undercard of a Manny Pacquiao-headlined fight in November 2013.

 

Guzman, a 5-foot-8½-inch 20-year-old, maakt zijn het Amerikaanse. debut and initial start outside of Mexico since turning pro at 16 in juli 2011. In Dela Torre, Guzman will be taking a significant step up in class. Hij scoorde een derde ronde TKO over Pedro Lopez on his last start in Oktober. 9.

“I’m feeling very strong and ready for the challenge of this fight,’’ Guzman said. “Fighting on SHOWTIME is a huge opportunity for me. I hear my opponent is a good fighter, but I am ready for anything he can throw. Everybody is going to be talking about me after this fight.”

 

Yeyubov, 29, who could be on the fast track to stardom, is regarded by many to be the second-hardest Kazakh hitter in boxing, ranked only behind Gennady Golovkin. Since his days as an amateur when he won more than 150 gevechten, a vast majority by knockout, Eyubov has lived up to his reputation as a fearsome banger who looks to remove the judges from the equation.

 

He’s overwhelmed his first nine opponents as a pro, winning six by knockout in the first round and two by knockout in the second. The furthest he’s gone in a fight came in his second start when he scored a third-round TKO (2:57) over Jhaquis Davis. In his last outing on Oktober. 29, Hij scoorde een 1:27, eerste ronde TKO over Antonio Chaves Fernandes in Brooklyn.

Robinson, a pro since August 2009, fights out of Charlotte, N.C. A veteran of several scheduled 10-round fights, he’s undeniably the most experienced boxer Eyubov’s ever faced. A natural 140-pounder,Robinson won his initial 14 starts before losing on a fourth-round TKO to then-unbeaten Amir I op ShoBox in a bout he took on short notice on Feb. 21, 2014.

Twee starts geleden, Robinson fought to a disputed eight-round split draw against then-unbeaten Haskell Rhodes (23-0 naar binnen) op juni 21, 2015. An excellent boxer with good skills and movement, the 5-foot-9-inch Robinson, 33, is coming off a one-sided 10-round decision overChristian Dominguez laatste Zeven. 26. Buiten de ring, Robinson is amassage therapist.

Barry Tompkins zal bellen met de ShoBox actie van de eerste rang met Farhood en voormalig wereldkampioen Raul Marquez die als deskundige analisten. De uitvoerend producent is Gordon Hall met Richard Gaughanproduceren en Rick Phillips leiding.

VERONA, NEW YORK (December 19, 2015) – De 2015 boxing year culminated with a tremendous show at Turning Stone Resort Casino as WBA Interim Heavyweight Champion Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (24-0, 21 KO) closed the show by maintaining his title with a knockout-of-the-year candidate over Bryant “Door – Door” Jennings (19-2, 10 KO) in the seventh round of their scheduled bout live on HBO Boxing After Dark.
“Vandaag, there is a new era in the heavyweight division,” Ortiz, who landed a vicious uppercut to end the fight, zei. “Jennings is fighter who deserves much respect, but he can tell you that I am a force in the heavyweight division. I am going to go out and obtain my objective. “I have been training for a big fight of this magnitude for three years. My strategy was to keep him at a distance and I was able to do that effectively with my reach and my jab. I will fight whoever next, whoever Golden Boy Promotions gives me I will take. Wilder, Woede, Klitschko anyone of them, I am ready to prove that I am the heavyweight world champion. A lot of people say a lot of things about me, but the testing showed that I am a clean fighter.
I wasn’t on my game, and he got the best of me,” Jennings said. “I didn’t adjust well and he was the better man.
The co-main event saw two Super Featherweightsformer WBA Featherweight and Super Featherweight World Champion Nicolas “Axe Man” Walters (26-0-1, 21 KO) and Jason Sosa (18-1-4, 14 KO) — wage a superb battle with both fighters landing tremendous sharp, accurate shots throughout the fight. While Sosa won the fight on one of the judge’s cards, the fight was ruled a draw as the two other judges had the fight even.
I am in total shock. I was never in any danger, never hurt,” Walters said. “[Sosa] is een goede vechter — the kind of fight I wantedbut I thought I won all the rounds. So surprised this happened to me.
I thought I won and am disappointed it was a draw,” Sosa said. “Ik heb hard gewerkt, I really thought I won the fight.
In the HBO Latino Boxing main event light heavyweight Vyacheslav “Leeuwenhart – Chigonsky” Shabranskyy (15-0, 12 KO) kept his undefeated record intact slugging out a majority decision over Yuneski Gonzalez (16-2, 12 KO) in an action-packed brawl that saw both fighters land huge shots throughout the fight.
This fight was the most important and most exciting fight of my career,” said Shabranskyy. I did feel a lot of Gonzalezpunches but I also feel like I hurt himespecially in the last round, he was beginning to sway. If I had a little more time I feel I would have knocked him out.
I knew that this was going to be a war and that is what we delivered tonight,” Gonzalez zei. “We both gave it our all and didn’t let up. I knew that I needed to knock him out to win this fight but he was more resilient than I thought and didn’t open up enough for the knockout to happened. I did know the fight was very close and should have been a draw in my opinion. I would like the opportunity to fight him again and prove that I am the better fighter.
In the co-main of the HBO Latino broadcast, rising middleweight “Koning” Gabriel Rosado (22-9, 13 KO) shook off some tough early rounds to earn a hard-fought unanimous victory against former IBF Welterweight World Champion Joshua “Grootmeester” Clottey (39-6, 22 KO).
It has been more than a year since I have been in the ring so I did feel a little I the rust but I feel like this fight really helped me shake it off,” Rosado said. Clottey is a tough opponent, voormalig wereldkampioen, definitely a challenge for me in my first fight back. I delivered an entertaining fight tonight and I was happy with my performance. I am ready for my next big challenge, I would like a shot at Canelo [Alvarez] next.
Gabriel gave everyone a great performance today,” said Fernando Vargas, Rosado’s trainer. This was our first training camp together and I think we are going to keep growing and make great fights together.
This was an off night for me,” Clottey said. “I do think that the fans enjoyed the fightwe are both fighters that do not like to back down. Echter, I don’t feel comfortable at this weight class, I want to go back down to 154 and continue to fight at junior middleweight.
Opening the HBO Latino broadcast, former WBA and IBF Featherweight World Champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (25-1, 17 KO) had all he could handle after a 13-month layoff, squaring off in a lightweight showdown against Hylon Williams Jr. (16-2-1, 3 KO) Houston. Na 10 rounds of back-and-forth action, the judges awarded Gamboa a hard-fought unanimous decision.
It feels good to be back in the ring,” Gamboa said. “I trained in Cuba, and I feel that all the hard paid off. I was faster and stronger in the ring. I know I dominated the action tonight, I made sure he knew I was in control from the first round.
I felt good about the pace of the fight, I know I hurt him a few times,” Williams zei. “This fight should have gone my way.
In a light heavyweight battle, rising prospect D’MitriusBig MeechBallard (11-0, 7 KO) won a shutout unanimous decision against a game Fabiano “Pit Bull” Veer (11-4-1, 8 KO).
I am glad I secured the victory today,” Ballard said. “[Veer] was able to go all six rounds with me, but I felt in complete control the entire fight. I think I am ready to step up to more rounds and bigger opponents. I am ready for the next big step of my career and this fight showed that. I want to thank Oscar and Golden Boy Promotions for the opportunity and I can’t wait for the next fight.
In de opening aanval van de avond, middleweight Steven “De Hitman” Martinez (16-2, 13 KO) emerged with a second round TKO victory over Jorge “Torpedojager” Melendez (28-6-1, 26 KO).

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE ZATERDAG OM 12e HUIDIGE BRITSE WERELDKAMPIOEN TE WORDEN OP SHO EXTREME® VAN MANCHESTER,ENGELAND

NEW YORK (December. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders onttroonde WBO middengewicht wereldkampioen Andy Lee met een meerderheidsbesluit van 12 ronden zaterdag Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONALE van Manchester, Engeland.

 

De strijd, dat werd gescoord 115-111, 114-112 en 113-113, zal vanavond opnieuw uitgezonden worden om 9 p.m. EN/PT op SHO EXTREME.

 

In een combinatie van tactische linkshandigen, een explosieve derde ronde van Saunders (23-0, 12 KO) was het verschil. De Britse uitdager gooide Lee twee keer op de grond - eerst met een grote rechtse hoek en opnieuw met een counter net rechts 30 seconden later - en een verdwaasde Lee overleefde op de een of andere manier de 10-7 ronde. VIDEO HOOGTEPUNTEN: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe

 

De Ierse Lee (34-3-1, 24 KO) vocht zich een weg terug en was de agressievere vechter in de kampioensrondes, maar het was niet genoeg om een ​​trage start en de twee knockdowns goed te maken.

 

Met de overwinning, Saunders werd de 12th huidige Britse wereldkampioen.

 

"Ik ben wereldkampioen,'Zei Saunders. “Ik heb vandaag een goede kampioen verslagen, een goede stevige kampioen. Ik heb zijn macht tegen hem gebruikt. Toen ik aan het boksen was, werd hij een beetje onzorgvuldig en liet zijn loden hand vallen en ik ving hem met de haak.

 

"Ik ga niet mijn mond gaan lopen, maar het was een goed schot. Met iemand zo snel als ik moet je je handen omhoog houden. Ik ben niet de grootste puncher ter wereld, maar ik heb je daar laten zien dat ik kan slaan. "

 

WBA middengewicht wereldkampioen Daniel Jacobs, vers van een eerste ronde knock-out van Peter Quillin twee weken geleden op SHOWTIME, was een gastanalist op zaterdag Vanuit New York.

 

'Ik dacht dat hij een grote vechter zou worden, Ik dacht dat hij betere bezittingen had,”Jacobs zei over Lee. "Hij heeft niet genoeg voor me gedaan. Hij was te zelfgenoegzaam en na de knockdown zag je niet dat gevoel van urgentie dat een vechter moet hebben op het comeback-parcours.

 

'Alle eer te danken aan Billy Joe, maar het was geen indrukwekkende overwinning. "

 

Na het zien van het gevecht, Jacobs was er niet klaar voor om zich in te zetten voor een confrontatie met de eenwording in 2016 met de winnaar.

 

"We zullen alles doen wat zinvol is,”Zei Jacobs. "Ik denk dat het tijd is om te gaan zitten en te bedenken wat zinvol is. Het is duidelijk een goed moment om middengewichtkampioen te worden. "
