BROOKLYN (Sierpień 4, 2019) – Niepokonana polska gwiazda i rodowity Brooklyn Adam Kownacki (20-0, 15 KO) zdobył jednogłośną decyzję ponad Chris “Koszmar” Arreola (38-6-1, 33 KO) w bójce pełnej akcji przed fanami z jego rodzinnego miasta, która wystąpiła w głównym wydarzeniu FOX PBC Fight Night oraz w sobotnim wieczorze FOX Deportes z Barclays Center, dom Brooklyn BOXING ™.

Kownacki i Arreola ustanowili rekord wagi ciężkiej CompuBox dla połączonych ciosów wymierzonych i rzuconych w walce wagi ciężkiej. Wylądowali połączone 667 stemple, pobicie poprzedniego rekordu 650, podczas rzucania 2,172 stemple, znacznie przewyższający poprzedni znak 1,730.

Najciekawsze momenty walki można znaleźć TUTAJ, TUTAJ i TUTAJ.

“Chris jest azteckim wojownikiem,” said Kownacki. “On jest wielkim wojownikiem. Wiedziałem, że to będzie ciężka walka i przygotowałem się na nią. Liczby CompuBox dowodzą, że była to świetna walka.”

“Adam jest nieugięty,” Said Arreola. “On po prostu ciągle przychodzi. Wiem, że trafiłem na niego z kilkoma dobrymi ciosami, a on dostał mnie z kilkoma dobrymi. Byłem więcej niż gotowy na wszystko 12, ale Adam wszedł i wygrał walkę.”

Akcja rozpoczęła się od pierwszego dzwonka, gdy Kownacki zaatakował Arreola i natychmiast zaczął się wymieniać, gdy obaj mężczyźni rzucali ciosami mocy w pęczki. Kownacki odpracował cios, aby zainicjować przestępstwo, podczas gdy Arreola był w stanie skutecznie skontrować swojego mocno szarżującego przeciwnika i odpowiedzieć za każdym razem, gdy został trafiony kombinacją.

“Myślałem, że to dobra walka na bliski dystans, ale wiedziałem, że ją wyciągnąłem,” said Kownacki. “Oddałem dużo strzałów i to wystarczyło, aby wygrać. Tylko to się liczy.”

Kownacki oszołomił Arreolę we wczesnych momentach drugiej rundy, ale Arreola szybko zareagowała na spowolnienie tempa Kownackiego. Arreola odnosił coraz większe sukcesy z prawą ręką podczas walki, wielokrotne wymierzanie ciosu, zwłaszcza w czwartej i piątej rundzie.

Szósta runda była mieszanką, która charakteryzowała się dużą ofensywą ze strony Kownackiego na początku rundy, przed ekscytującą wymianą pod koniec rundy obaj mężczyźni zadają ciężkie ciosy.

“Próbowałem śledzić, kiedy go zraniłem, ale zadałem dwa ciosy zamiast trzech lub czterech,” said Kownacki. “Rekwizyty do Arreoli, bo udowodnił, że wciąż potrafi wisieć. Jestem pewien, że fani chcieliby go ponownie zobaczyć.”

W środkowych rundach Arreola doznała kontuzji ręki, ale wydawało się, że nie spowalnia go to zbytnio, ponieważ jego moc ciosów nadal była silna przez drugą połowę walki. For Kownacki, to był jego pierwszy raz, kiedy minął 10 rundy jako pro.

Po tym, jak ciosy nadal przelatywały przez ostatni dzwon, dwaj ważniacy obejmowani na ringu przed przesłuchaniem sędziów’ wyniki. Po 12 Rundy, wszyscy trzej sędziowie widzieli walkę na korzyść Kownackiego, przez dziesiątki 117-11 dwa razy i 118-110.

“Emerytura to coś, o czym muszę porozmawiać z rodziną i zespołem,” Said Arreola. “Dałem z siebie całą tę walkę. Pozwolę temu wszystko spędzić. Po złamaniu ręki, Walczyłem dalej, bo wierzyłem, że mogę wygrać.”

“Po prostu muszę ciężko trenować, coraz lepiej i doskonalić swoje umiejętności,” said Kownacki. “Zobaczymy, co przyniesie przyszłość. Mam nadzieję, że w przyszłym roku dostanę tytułowy strzał.”

W współgłównym wydarzeniu uczestniczył były mistrz świata Jean Pascal (34-6-1, 20 KO) zdobyć wąską techniczną decyzję o wcześniej niepokonanych Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 KO) zdobyć tymczasowy tytuł WBA w wadze półciężkiej po przypadkowym uderzeniu głową, które zakończyło walkę w ósmej rundzie.

“Boks to boks,” powiedział Pascal. “Zderzyliśmy się głowami, ale pod koniec dnia, Wygrywałem rundę. Upuściłem go trzy razy. Było blisko walki, ale wierzę, że wygrywałem.”

Browne wydawał się wcześnie przejąć kontrolę, efektywnego ciosu i wykańczania combosów mocnymi ciosami. Przez całą walkę, Browne wyląduje 52% jego mocy ciosów według CompuBox.

W czwartej rundzie, Pascal przedarł się przez lądowanie idealną prawą ręką, która połączyła się z Brownem, gdy rzucił własnym prawym sierpowym. Browne po raz trzeci w swojej karierze trafił na płótno, ale udało mu się przejść przez rundę.

Browne wyglądał, jakby odzyskał kontrolę nad walką do późnej rundy siódmej, kiedy Pascal ponownie trafił na potężny prawy hak, który złapał Browne'a podczas wymiany. Pascal wskoczył na Browne'a po tym, jak wstał i powalił go po raz trzeci tuż przed zakończeniem dzwonka w rundzie siódmej.

Pascal z Montrealu chciał ukończyć Browne w rundzie ósmej, podczas gdy Browne szukał sposobu na skuteczne poruszanie się po ringu podczas odzyskiwania z poprzedniej rundy. W połowie rundy Pascal uderzył Browne'a przypadkowym uderzeniem głową w liny, co otworzyło przecięcie nad lewym okiem Browne'a..

Sędzia Gary Rosato zatrzymał walkę 1:49 w rundzie, za radą lekarza przy ringu, co oznacza, że ​​walka trafiła na karty wyników. Wygrywając skróconą ósmą rundę na wszystkich trzech sędziach’ Karty, Pascal wygrał walkę wynikiem 75-74 trzykrotnie.

“Słyszałem moją córkę przy ringu i to było dla mnie motywacją,” powiedział Pascal. “Wykrzykiwała moje imię przez całą noc. Wrócę do domu i porozmawiam z zespołem, żeby zobaczyć, co dalej. Kanada ma Drake, Mistrzów NBA, a teraz przynoszę pas do domu.”

Browne był niedostępny dla komentarzy po walce, ponieważ został zabrany do NYU Lutheran Medical Center z powodu cięcia.

Otwarcie na piły FOX Wale Omotoso (28-4, 22 KO) upuszczać Curtis Stevens(30-7, 22 KO) trzy razy na swojej drodze do wygranej w trzeciej rundzie przestoju w ich starciu w wadze super półśredniej.

Dla Stevensa była to jego pierwsza walka przy wadze 154 funtów, i od początku był testowany w nowej wadze. Omotoso zaczął się poruszać i dźgać wokół ringu, gdy Stevens podchodził do niego i próbował rzucać mocne ciosy, aby spowolnić jego ruchy. Pod koniec pierwszej rundy, Omotoso przebił się prawą ręką w stronę Stevensa’ głowa, która upuściła go na środek ringu.

“Mój trener kazał mi trzymać ręce w górze, bądź cierpliwy, włóż go i jab,” powiedział Omotoso. “Powiedział mi, że nie powinienem tego naciskać i że kiedy był otwór, wziąłbym to. Dokładnie tak się stało.”

“Uderzył mnie overhandem w prawo w pierwszej rundzie, co wytrąciło mnie z równowagi,” powiedział Stevens. “Ale to nie wpłynęło na mnie zbytnio. Nie wchodziłem wystarczająco w moje ciosy, dochodzę. Zostałem złapany, kiedy sięgnąłem.”

W drugiej rundzie Omotoso trafił Stevensa perfekcyjnym ciosem, gdy jego przeciwnik rzucał lewym sierpowym, który powalił go po raz drugi w walce. Stevens ponownie przeszedł przez rundę, i zacząłem następną ramkę, łapiąc Omotoso w kącie i łącząc się na ciosach mocy.

“Po prostu puściłem moje ręce,” powiedział Omotoso. “Przy drugim powaleniu moja pewność siebie wzrosła. Cieszyłem się, że odniosłem zwycięstwo przez nokaut.”

Podczas gdy Stevens był w stanie opanować wczesne momenty trzeciej rundy, Omotoso uderzył go kombinacją trzech ciosów z lewym sierpowym, lewy górny cios, a potem prosta prawa ręka, która powaliła Stevensa po raz trzeci. Stevens wstał, ale sędzia Johnny Callas zatrzymał walkę w 1:28 trzeciej rundzie.

“Było dobrze, ale sędzia musi wykonać swoją pracę,” powiedział Stevens. “Byłem na dole trzy razy, więc wiem, że dbał o moje dobro.”

“Nie spodziewałam się, że tak się potoczy,” powiedział Omotoso. “Właśnie słuchałem mojego trenera. Drugie powalenie było właściwie moim ciosem. Muszę porozmawiać z moim zespołem o tym, co dalej. Dziękuję za tę możliwość. Tak się cieszę z tej wygranej. Daj mi kogoś następnego, Jestem gotowy.”

BROOKLYN (Sierpień 1, 2019) – Unbeaten Polish star Adam Kownacki i były tytułowy Śmiałek Chris “Koszmar” Arreola went face to face at Thursday’s final press conference, two days before they meet in a heavyweight showdown headlining FOX PBC Fight Night this Saturday live on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, dom Brooklyn BOXING ™.

The press conference also featured fighters competing in action beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT as unbeaten WBA interim light heavyweight champion “Pan” Marcus Brownei były mistrz Jean Pascal, plus Brooklyn’s Curtis Stevens i Wale Omotoso, all faced-off ahead of their respective matchups Saturday night.

Bilety na imprezę, która jest promowana przez TGB Promocje, są już w sprzedaży i można je kupić na Ticketmaster.com. Bilety można również kupić w American Express Box Office w Barclays Center.

The fighters were joined on stage by former lineal heavyweight champion Michael Spinks. Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the Brooklyn Marriott:

ADAM KOWNACKI

This is one of my dreams coming true. Since the amateurs I’ve wanted to fight at Barclays Center and on Saturday night I’m the main event. I couldn’t be more excited

I’ve been pushed hard in training camp and I can’t wait to show everyone all of my work on Saturday. The key is going to be jabbing in and throwing my punches in bunches like I always do.

This is a new experience for me being the headliner, but in the ring it doesn’t matter. It’s just two guys fighting each other. We both love to fight. I can’t wait to get it over with and punch him in the face.

Chris Arreola is a warrior. You always know that when Chris fights, it’s a good fight. But I’m going to test how much he has left in the gas tank. Chris has been in there with three champions and when I take care of business on Saturday, I’ll be one step closer to being world champion.

It’s truly a great feeling to have all this support from my fans here. These fans are trusting me to bring the title back to Brooklyn and to Poland.

Barclays Center has been my boxing home. I can’t wait to get in the ring. This is a tough fight and I have to make sure I send the fans home happy.

This definitely has Fight of the Year written all over it. Neither of us are afraid to let our hands go and no matter what happens, the fans are going to be winners on Saturday.

Chris Arreola

I understand that Adam is the favorite because he’s undefeated and fighting in his hometown. Na koniec dnia, none of that matters to me. I’m going to give it my all for this fight.

I’m carefree right now. I have no stress. Jeśli przegram, I’m okay with walking way. But I’m not here to do that. I’m here to win.

“Wiem, że mam trudny przeciwnik przede mną. I have my work cut out for me. But ‘The Nightmareis going to keep going.

I went to Joe Goossen as my trainer because I knew it was time to make a change. I have to make this last run count. This is the best team I could imagine. Joe makes you work on your mistakes. I believe the winner of this fight is whoever takes advantage of the first mistake.

I respect everybody outside of the ring, but once we’re in the ring, I’m not friends with anyone. We’ll shake hands after the final bell, but I’m here to put on a show. It’s lights, kamera, action and time to shine.

He’s a volume puncher. He just keeps coming and he’s smiling at you the whole time. Na koniec dnia, I’m going to put a frown on his face Saturday.

My prediction is that the fans are going to get their money’s worth. You better record this one, because you’re going to watch it again and again. I’m going to come out with my hand raised.

MARCUS BROWNE

Being in training in Colorado really lets me get attuned to my game plan. It’s just waking up every day and working with that same mentality where I’m focused on nothing but the fight. It’s all about going in there and getting that win.

I’m going to punish Pascal on Saturday. If the knockout is how he wants to go, Bede gotowy. I promise I’m going to beat him for 12 Rundy.

It feels great to be here defending my belt. I’ll be in a better position after this fight. I’m going to make a statement in this fight and put Pascal in his place.

Pascal is a guy who doesn’t come to lay down, he comes to beat you. That’s what the sport is about. You have to fight guys of that stature if you’re not fighting champions.

A win on Saturday puts me in contention to fight for a world title next. That’s my focus, but before that, it’s about Jean Pascal and taking care of him the right way.

This is a great card for New York with me, Adam and Curtis all representing our home city. It’s great for us to be in this position together.

Jean Pascal

Marcus has been saying that he’s going to go in there and try to knock me out, but I’m no amateur. I know what his game plan is going to be. He’s going to run around the ring and try to hold. We all know he’s the best at running like a chicken.

When I was Marcus’ wiek, I was already a world champion. He was watching me on TV when he was at the Olympics.

How is he going to knock me out? I think without the cut that Badou Jack had in their fight, he would have knocked Marcus out.

“Jestem gotowy. I’m a solid fighter. I’ve fought the best, so I don’t think Marcus will be able to knock me out.

I’m too good all-around for Marcus. This is my chance to show that I still have a lot of gas left in the tank. I’m still good enough to fight at the very top level of the sport.

CURTIS STEVENS

This is my first time fighting at Barclays Center, and I’m going to give the fans a taste of what they’ve been missing.

I decided that I’d go down to 154-pounds because my camp has a lot of the top 160-pound fighters so we were getting in each other’s way. There are a lot of opportunities for me in this weight class as well.

No matter what has happened in my career, I have always come back. I’m mentally always ready to bounce back. I’ve had layoffs in my career, but I know that I’m going to get where I need to be.

Nobody calls me out because they know I can punch. I’m too risky for the top fighters because they know there’s a chance they get knocked out.

It’s incredible to have this opportunity to fight at Barclays Center for the first time. It’s going to be a good time for me and all the fans.

Strona główna OMOTOSO

I’m not worried about Stevens being at a new weight. I don’t think it’s going to affect him that much. W sobotę, we’re both going to do our best to get the win.

He’s a big puncher who brawls. But I’m a big puncher too. He’s been there and fought everybody, but I’m going to show the world what I can do.

I think this is going to be a toe-to-toe fight. There might be some feeling out, but as the fight goes on and we get into the middle rounds, it’s going to be fought in the middle of the ring.

I’ve trained well for this fight and had sparring with lots of different fighters. The different styles that I’ve seen throughout camp will have me prepared for anything Stevens shows me on Saturday night.

DETROIT (Czerwiec 23, 2018) – Claressa Shields became a two-division world champion, and Christina Hammer retained her two world title belts as both scored unanimous decision victories on Friday night on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECJALNA EDYCJA from the Masonic Temple in Detroit, mnie.

 

 

 

And now they have their sights set on one another.

 

 

 

The two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Shields of nearby Flint, Mich., was knocked down for the first time in her career 53 sekund w pierwszej rundzie, but she was able to come back and win every round after that to become a two-division world champion capturing the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Championships against Hanna Gabriels. The judges’ scored the fight 98-91, 97-92 dwa razy.

 

 

 

Hammer entered the ring after the Shields fight, and an emotional Shields pressed toward Hammer and some pushing and shoving ensued. (see video TUTAJ)

 

 

 

“I’m just tired of Hammer disrespecting me all the time,” Shields (6-0, 2 KO) powiedział:. “She comes into the ring after all my rights, talks trash, and then she goes in there and looks like [crap] against Nelson. I’m sick of it. But I let her know I’m more than ready for a fight against her. She wanted me to lose tonight, but I wanted her to win because I want to fight her. We have to unify now.”

 

 

 

Shields and Gabriels started the fight swinging furiously, but it was Gabriels (18-2-1, 11 KO) who connected on a right uppercut sending Shields to the canvas. (see the knockdown video TUTAJ)

 

 

 

“Once I went down, I took a deep breath and I remember thinking to myself, ‘I’m about to whip this girl’ ” Shields said. “I just remember thinking let’s use the jab and be smart.”

 

 

 

Costa Rica’s Gabriels, a unified 154-pound titleholder, was coming up in weight and attempting to become a three-division world champion. (see Shields-Gabriels highlights TUTAJ).

 

 

 

“I trained to go the distance but my heart betrayed me, because after that first knock down, I was looking for another one,” said Gabriels, the reigning WBA and WBO champion who was fighting in her 12th straight world title fight since winning the welterweight title in 2009. “I wanted to show everyone I had a warrior’s heart.

 

 

 

“I didn’t feel I had an advantage after the knockdown. I felt I had to work round after round to even have a possibility to win.”

 

 

 

Added Gabriels: “She has a lot of power. It was a great fight and you have to accept the judges’ decision. She’s powerful and for the fans I think it went well.

 

 

 

Shields suffered a cut on the left cheek in round 10, and also overcame a head butt. She recalled being hurt by Gabriels’ punches to the head just three times in the fight. “The first round, fourth round and the eighth round, other than that she didn’t hit me with no head shots.”

 

 

 

Shields – in her first fight with new trainer John David Jackson – said she learned something about herself after the fight. “I can get put on my ass, get up and come back and win,” she said. “Tonight was my night and I have to show the world I’m the greatest of all-time. I showed who I am. Teraz, I’m really dangerous because you can even put me down, and I’ll still come back to win.”

 

 

 

The difference in the fight was Shields’ precyzja, especially in terms of her power shots as she connected on 42 percent compared to Gabriels’ 26 procent.

 

 

 

Shields was asked after the fight when she would like to face Hammer. “Hopefully it’s next,” she said. “I don’t need no rest. I could have whipped her tonight. I’m just so sick of her and her whole team.”

 

 

 

 

 

In a lopsided win in her highly anticipated U.S. debiut, Młot (23-0, 10 KO) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision against Tori Nelson (17-2-3, 2 KO). Te wyniki były 100-90, 99-91 dwa razy, to retain her WBC and WBO Middleweight World Title belts. (see Hammer-Nelson highlights TUTAJ).

 

 

 

“It would have been better to get a KO,” said Hammer, który jest 27 years old and from Dortmund, Niemcy. “I tried everything I could to get the knockout. She was tough. I hope the USA is good with this and I’m still the champ.”

 

 

 

“I’m really looking forward to fighting Claressa. She will try and fight me on the inside but my footwork and my reach will make the difference. The fight with Claressa will be a game-changer. It will be the biggest women’s fight ever. I would like to fight her at a neutral site.”

 

 

 

“I’m very disappointed in my performance tonight,” said an emotional Nelson after the fight. “It’s a loss, of course it’s disappointing. I wasn’t busy enough, I guess.”

 

 

 

In her last fight, Nelson lost a unanimous decision to Shields back in January. “Claressa is better,” Nelson said. “Shields has a jab and uses the ring. Claressa stands there and wants to fight. She has all the punches. Hammer only has one.”

 

 

 

W otwieracza transmitowane, Umar Salamov (21-1, 16 KO) connected on a lethal right hand in knocking out Brian Howard (13-2, 10 KO) 53 seconds into the ninth round of a scheduled 10-round light heavyweight bout.

 

 

 

Salamov, from Alkhan-Kala, Rosja, was making his United States debut and trains at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit with Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward. In a fight between two long and lanky fighters, Salamov landed 34 percent of his power punches compared to 27 percent for Howard and was ahead on all three judges’ scorecard at the time of the knockout.

 

 

 

“I was hurt a little bit in the second round from one of his shots, but I didn’t let it bother me because this is my U.S. debiut,” said Salamov, a six-year pro who is 24 lat. “I just kept fighting. After I got hit with that punch, I started coming forward and as soon as I did that, the fight changed.”

 

 

 

Salamov said he knew once he connected on the first right that Howard was hurt. “I knew as soon as I landed the punch that he would be very hurt,"Powiedział. “I felt it up to my elbow. I didn’t want to hit him after that because I knew he was finished.”

 

 

 

The former cruiserweight Howard had a couple of highlights and was able to effectively land his right hand on several occasions, including one powerful right cross in the seventh round that seemed to stun Salamov.

 

 

 

“I would say I did fair, I did OK,” said Howard, a former minor league football player who lives outside of Atlanta and was making his SHOWTIME debut. “I was fortunate to get the call by Salamov’s team and by SHOWTIME. I’ll be back.”

 

 

 

Friday’s tripleheader will replay on Monday, Czerwiec 25 w 10 p.m. ET / PT na Showtime ekstremalne i będzie dostępna na kanale Showtime dowolnym czasie® i SHOWTIME na żądanie®.

CYTATY FLASH:

 

CLARESSA OSŁONY:

“I have John David Jackson now and I’ve learned so much from him since we got together back in February. I’ve had coaches in the past who tried to change my style and game, but at the end of the day I just have to go in there and fight like I know how to.

 

 

 

“Being in Flint for my last camp, you wouldn’t believe all the things I had to deal with. Just stuff that shouldn’t be happening to a world champion. It was stressful, and I was stressed even the week of the fight [w styczniu]. I had to get out. I was able to train in Florida this time around.

 

 

 

"[Hanna’s] dobry wojownik. She has skills and just the way she carries herself. She’s very calm and her facial expressions never change. I watched the fight where she got knocked out, and even then her facial expressions didn’t change. I think she’s tough, but not as tough as I am. I know I’m the better fighter.

 

 

 

“Tori underestimated my power. I think Tori has a punchers’ chance [against Hammer]. I don’t wrap my career around Hammer. Our lives don’t intertwine. I have to worry about what’s in front of me. I’m not going to watch that fight.

 

 

 

“I was focused on my diet for this fight. I don’t have much family in Florida and didn’t have any distractions.”

 

HANNA GABRIELS:

 

 

“We need to step up to the plate and make sure our game plan is on point and we give the fans what they want to see, which is a great fight. You have to overcome a lot and sacrifice to get to this point, and my team has done that.

 

 

 

“I’ve never feared anyone. Words don’t do anything. When I get in the ring I’m going to be a beast.

 

 

 

“I’m OK with whatever comes, win or loss. I’m a champion and that’s my mentality in the ring. We’re going for the victory, and I’m appreciating everything that’s happening preparing for this fight.

 

 

 

“I don’t underestimate her power. But boxing isn’t just about power, there’s so much more. You can be powerful, but can you land the punch? Can it be precise? There are so many things going on in the ring that you have to worry about.”

 

CHRISTINA HAMMER:

 

 

“I was very disappointed that I wasn’t able to fight back in January because of my visa issues.

 

 

 

“I was at the Claressa Shields-Tori Nelson fight and now it’s my turn to get in the ring. I like to go forward and be aggressive. When you can finish, you finish. The American people will like my style.

 

 

 

“Boxing is my passion and my job, and I’m prepared and looking forward to this. Now the day is here and it’s on SHOWTIME. We aren’t thinking about Claressa Shields. Out of respect to Tori Nelson, I’m focused on this fight only.”

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

“I’m a power puncher and I’ve been using my legs more in camp so this camp has been so much different than what I’m used to.

 

 

 

“They say lighting strikes only once, but I got another chance. I am so grateful I got the call for this fight. This is my second chance. A lot of people don’t get second chances.

 

 

 

‘I really have something to prove. A lot of people have believed in me and I’ve got to show what I can do in the ring.

 

 

 

“I think Christina is overlooking me. It’s disrespectful but I’m glad. It’s better for me that she does overlook me.”

 

UMAR SALAMOV:

 

 

“This fight is going to be a good test. I know I can make it into the top 10, and this is my start.

 

 

 

“There’s a big difference living here in Detroit, but it’s a lot like Moscow, a big city.

 

 

 

“I love to fight, and this is a dream come true coming to America. Brian Howard is a tough opponent. It will not be an easy fight but I’m confident I can beat him.”

 

BRIAN HOWARD:

 

 

“I have a little bit of ring rust, but I’m going to be sharp. I’ve prepared well and I’m in shape. I have great metabolism, and can lose weight easily.

 

 

 

“I took my first loss in 2012 and after I took that loss I didn’t have the support I needed. I got back into it and it was just tough getting a fight. I got a lot of nos.

 

 

 

“I’ve seen some tape of my opponent. But you don’t know if he will change or bring something else.

 

 

 

“I box better than I play football. My nickname is MVP – Most Vicious Puncher.

 

 

 

“I don’t look at it that I’m the B-side fighter. This is a real opportunity for me, and I’m going to take full advantage of it.”

Here is what Shields and Gabriels had to say today at the Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit:

 

CLARESSA OSŁONY

 

“It’s been seven weeks of really hard work. A lot of people don’t know and I really don’t like to be open about it, but I got to 183 pounds after my last fight in January and now I’m 160. To 23 funtów. I was in camp running and getting ready for the fight and having to focus on weight was very different for me.

 

 

“I feel good and ready to go. I’m happy that she made it in safe and all that but now I’m just excited. You all know how I get before fights. The champ is here.

 

 

 

 

“So much has changed since I first turned pro. In my first fight, I was frustrated against Franchon (Crews Dezurn) during our fight. I was frustrated throughout camp and I really couldn’t handle everything that was going on. Now I know how to handle the media, the workouts, the interviews and still remain disciplined. The fact that I had to lose so much weight this camp only added more discipline.

 

 

 

“It makes me so happy and it just touches my heart to see four female fighters on the main fight poster. I was so happy that they decided to put them on TV. They have put me on before but it’s always been my goal to put other women on so when they decided to put Tori Nelson and Christina Hammer on I was so excited because this has never been done before. Women’s boxing is going somewhere.

 

 

 

“I always knew that it would take me to turn professional for women’s boxing to go to a higher level. That’s why I waited to win a second Gold Medal before I turned professional. To be the one to be the leader is special. I feel like I go out there every fight and give my best and show that I can box better than 90 percent of the men that box. If you have a choice to make a man the main event or me the main event, I always want them to choose me.

 

 

 

“There’s always mutual respect between me and my opponents. I’m thankful for them because I can’t do this by myself. I thank Hanna for stepping up and it’s mutual respect until Friday. I start getting really mean on Thursday,Friday is the fight and then after that we can exchange numbers and be friends.

 

 

 

“I expect her to use her gifts. She’s really good on her legs and she’s strong up top. I think she lacks in speed so I expect her to try to counter me and try to force me to make mistakes with her movement. I think she underrates my power.

 

 

 

“I never said that I wanted to get more knockouts. I’m perfectly fine being 5-0 z dwóch nokautów. Na koniec dnia, I’m fine with that. The longer I’m in the ring boxing, lepiej. The more they get to see me on TV, that’s fine. Of course I would love to get the big knockout but look how disappointed Errol Spence Jr. was to get such a quick knockout of Ocampo. That didn’t please his fans. Jeśli chodzi nokaut, it comes.

 

 

 

“This will be my toughest fight. She’s the most skilled and has the most experience. She’s a three-time world champion. I’ve fought former world champions but she’s a three-time world champion to date. The girl that beat her, Hanna avenged that loss. I’m looking forward to her coming out and putting 100 percent in and I hope for us to have a great fight.

 

“I’m always confident going into fights. I’m not leaving the ring without having two new belts.”

 

HANNA GABRIELS

 

“I think that this is a time right now where women can have this type of platform. Claressa is a great champion and I have faced great women’s champions. I think it’s a great time for boxing fans to enjoy a quality fight. She’s a champion. I’m a champion. This will be a great matchup.

 

 

 

“You are going to see a very technical and aggressive fighter. That’s the only way that you can fight Claressa because she’s so aggressive herself and so tough, you can’t go in the ring passive against her. You have to put your life on the line in there and that’s what I’m planning to do.

 

 

 

“I feel honored to be on such a great card. This is a great opportunity and I just hope everybody sees this the way that I do. We trained hard. In my case, I wanted to bring the very best out of myself so the fans could leave the arena feeling great. To jest to, co jest o boksie. Bringing entertainment and emotions that most other sports don’t bring to people.

 

 

 

„Ta walka wiele dla mnie znaczy. Every person that I love is going through a hard time right now, including my family. I just want to lead by example and show everybody that all odds are nothing. You can still fight the battle with as many resources or as little resources as you have. I’m dedicating this fight to all my loved ones because I promise there will be better times for us.

 

 

 

“When I was five years old I was sexually abused so my teenage years were tough. Sports always took me away from that. When I got an injury and I had to stop competing in track, I thought my life was over. For the next five or six years, I was very destructive and felt like I didn’t have a purpose. When I turned 24, I started a different passage and learned that everything that happened to me just made me the person I am today.

 

 

 

“We don’t really focus on anybody’s weaknesses because we believe if you’re a good professional and you are dedicating your life to this, you are supposed to get better at your weaknesses. So we focus on her strengths and I think we have a great plan. They say that she’s been underestimating me a lot but I think it’s part of her game and part of what she does.

 

 

 

“I think her strengths are pretty obvious. She has great feet. I don’t know if she punches hard but she’s very explosive. She must have a lot of power and she’s very defensive. She keeps her distance and she’s so big and I’m so small that we will have to risk a lot of things. Her confidence is one of her biggest strengths.

 

 

 

“This will probably be my toughest fight so far. I never had an amateur career, I had just one fight. Claressa has fought 80-something times so my schooling has been in the professional environment and I have had to learn in the process. Every fight has been a hard fight because I have to solve problems and I think she is definitely the toughest opponent because she’s so tall and so fast. She must walk around normally at 185 pounds and I’m not as big so we were a little worried at the beginning at how we would reach her body but we finally were able to figure that out in training and I’m confident that my game is going to surprise her a lot.

 

 

 

“Hopefully we can bring a surprise and people will get to see me and let everybody know that there are more great boxers out there that aren’t getting the same exposure or marketing that Claressa is getting. I don’t feel disrespected, I see this is an opportunity to show what I’ve been working on. Let them plan. Maybe those plans will fall.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a great fight. She’s coming for the victory and I’m coming for the victory as well. She’s in for a big surprise.”

Cruiserweight Howard Ready for ‘The DrillThis Saturday Night in Minnesota

Promoter Greg Cohen says his Atlanta-based cruiserweight BrianThe Bigg RiskHoward will have to be extremely careful when he fights in the main event w sobotę noc (Październik 1) at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota.
Howard (11-1, 9 KO) will face dangerous local veteran PhilThe Drill” Williams (15-8-2, 14 KO) in a potentially dangerous eight-round showdown.
Williams, a devastating puncher, has run hot and cold his entire career, but can be spectacular at times. He holds the distinction of scoring the fastest knockout in boxing history (10 sekund) over Brandon Burke of Iowa in 2007. wideo
Able to switch hit from his southpaw stance to orthodox several times during a fight, Williams has also fought to draws with well-known veterans Caleb Truax and Derrick Findley. In his next to last fight, he won the Minnesota State Cruiserweight Championship by stopping then 15-1 Al Sands in one round.
The capable Howard, jednak, took the undefeated record of Maryland-based Alex Guerrero (15-1) in his last fight and has trained hard for this interesting challenge.
He’s ready for another ‘Bigg Risk’,” powiedział Cohen. “Don’t forget, Brian can punch too. He has prepared for this dangerous challenge and should be ready, even if the best version of Phil Williams shows up w sobotę. Brian is a talented fighter and we have all confidence he will prevail.
Na undercard, Ryan Watson (2-0-1, 2 KO), a former nationally ranked amateur boxer from Duluth, MN, who is now one of the top prospects in the cruiserweight division competes. Coming off a highly controversial draw, Watson is stepping up the competition by fighting 5-1-1 Lorenzo Selectmon of St. Joseph, MO.

Also of note is the return of Delorien Caraway (6-0 5 KO) Minneapolis, MN, one of the top prospects nationally in the 140-pound weight class. Caraway just spent time helping boxing’s top star, Canelo Alvarez, prepare for his upcoming fight.

The event will also be streamed live on www.floboxing.tv.
