Marie-Eve Dicaire learned invaluable lesson from Claressa Shields fight

Leave a comment

MONT-REAL (Març 31, 2021) – Popular Canadian boxerMarie-Eve Dicaire learned an invaluable albeit disappointing lesson a her decision-loss to now-undisputed world super welterweight championClaressa Escuts (11-0, 2 KOs) on the March 3rd “SUPERWOMEN” pay-per-view event.

Dicaire (17-1) suffered her first loss as a professional and in boxing that often leads in one direction or the opposite: learning from the overall experience and improving as a boxer or continue fighting as just a former world champion chasing opportunity.

Two weeks after the Shields fight, Marie-Eve was right back in training, rather than wallowing in her first loss and feeling sorry for herself.

“Clearly,” Dicaire said, “I learned a lot. I went right back to the gym with a precise plan to take my boxing to another level. I’ve realized many things, some good and some bad, but it will definitely help become a more complete fighter.

“After two weeks off, I had more than enough. Also, during the last year we experimented with a new way to work. I go to the gym for intense training for a few weeks, then take a few days off to rest. This method has brought me to another level, so we decided to work this way for my upcoming camp, because I felt great in the ring. I’m an overachiever. I can’t rest when I know I lost. I needed to get the work done to enjoy true vacations. I know I will be in the ring again soon.”

Losses ultimately lead to changes but Dicaire’s goal of becoming undisputed world champion remains the same. What’s changing, encara que, is her style, at least to some degree, especially considering she has zero knockouts during her pro career.

“I was born ready, so the sooner, la millor,” Dicaire spoke about winning another world title. “I want to become a unified, undisputed world champion and this is why I am already back to work. We’re working on improving some of my weaknesses that weren’t a priority before. I’ll be working on improving my power and inside fighting during this training camp.”

Dicaire also learned that her support system has grown, remarkably, even after the initial setback on her otherwise undefeated record.

“I thought I was going to deal with the loss alone with my family and close friends,” Dicaire concluded, “but it’s been the exact opposite. I have never experienced so much support from fans during my entire career. It is like everybody is aware I have everything it takes to become champion of the world again and they’re with me during this new journey.”

Undisputed Welterweight Champion Jessica McCaskill looking for Biggest names in Boxing

Leave a comment
McCaskill eying showdowns with Taylor and Shields


Chicago, Illinois (Març 17, 2021) – Fresh off her second consecutive victory over future Hall of Famer, Cecilia Braekhus, undisputed welterweight champion, Jessica McCaskill is looking to fight the biggest names on the female circuit.


McCaskill of Chicago, easily outpointed the legendary Braekhus by scores of 100-89, 99-90 i 98-91 to win her fifth consecutive and raise her record to 10-2.


“I felt my aggression was really good, just keeping the pressure non-stop, and we are ready for what is next. She was running in, and crowded herself, and I figured if she was going to run in, I would have to get at least one or two shots off, and she kept doing it, so I kept doing it as well. I wanted to move and show some more angles, but she kept coming straight in, so she was right there,” said McCaskill.


“A fight with Katie Taylor might be the next thing on the agenda. If that is what it is, Seria fantàstic. If that does not work out, then there are a couple of other names out there. As for Claressa Shields, McCaskill thinks a fight with her can happen, “That could be a possibility if Claressa could come down to 147 lliura. Primer, she said that she would not give up any weight, and now she is saying she would, so we are just going to have to see if they are going to take this seriously.”

Said McCaskill’s promoter, Leon Margules de Warriors Boxing, “Jessica proved yet again that she is one of the top fighters in the world. She has now dominated the fighter that has been the long-time pound for top boxer. We would love to fight anyone, and a fight with Katie Taylor would most certainly have a different outcome then their first fight. Fights with Taylor or Claressa would be historic fights as it would match two of the reigning undisputed champions against each other.”

CLARESSA SHIELDS DOMINATES MARIE-EVE DICAIRE, MAKES HISTORY AS THE FIRST BOXER TO BE CROWNED UNDISPUTED CHAMP IN A SECOND WEIGHT DIVISION

Leave a comment
UNDEFEATED STAR CITES JUNE IN LAS VEGAS FOR HER MMA DEBUT; CALLS OUT KATIE TAYLOR AND SAVANNAH MARSHALL IN POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW

(Divendres, Març 5, 2021 – Flint, MI) Women’s superstar Claressa Escuts furthered her claim as boxing’s “GWOAT” Friday night and became the unified WBC, OMB, FIB & WBA Super Junior Middleweight World Champion, by scoring a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision over Marie-Eve Dicaire de St-Eustache, Quebec, Canadà, in the 10-round main event of the historic all-women’s “SUPERDONES: ESCUTS VS. DICAIRE event at the Dort Financial Center and live on pay-per-view in Shields’ hometown of Flint, Michigan.

Escuts (11-0, 2 KOs) also became the first boxer in the four-belt era to become an undisputed world champion in two weight divisions by virtue of her shutout victory (100-90 pels tres jutges) over now former champion Dicaire (17-1).

Uncharacteristically, the 25-year-old Shields turned counterpuncher early in this fight, to offset Dicaire’s attempts to bounce in and out of range. Relying on her reflexes to punish any attempt at aggression by Dicaire, Shields shut the Canadian down and then turned back to her customary forward aggression later in the bout.

Dicaire landed a quality southpaw left on Shields in round four, possibly her only significant blow of the fight, and Shields simply shook it off to no effect.

I can’t be mad about my performance,” said Shields after the bout. “She just kept elbowing and headbutting me. I tried for the knockout and I almost had it a couple times, but we’ve got two minutes and the ref not breaking it up when she’s holding me and elbowing me. I’m happy but I still wanted the knockout. I just didn’t have enough time. Al final de la dia, I am the new undisputed champ at 154 and the first boxer to be undisputed champ twice.”

Shields said she was happy to have accomplished her latest piece of history in front of her family and friends in Flint, even if the pandemic meant a lot fewer fans in attendance.

“With Covid, we couldn’t have a full capacity. Hi ha 300 here and that’s the capacity of the day, so we have a full house. We couldn’t have full capacity, but I know if we could have, we would have had 6000 people in here. I’m happy to have been able to do it here (a Flint). I started boxing here at Berston Fieldhouse at 11 anys. Never in a million years did I think I’d be on pay-per-view and fighting for an undisputed title and be one of the biggest stars in boxing. I just wanted to win an Olympic Gold medal. God has given me two Olympic medals. jo tinc 12 championship belts now. It doesn’t feel real to say undisputed twice.”

When asked about two of her remaining rivals in boxing, fellow superstar Katie Taylor of Ireland and her one-time conqueror in the amateurs, Savannah Marshall of the UK, Shields brimmed with confidence.

“Katie Taylor is not the worry. 147 pounds is. They’d have to pay me a lot to lose my butt and go down to 147. Al final de la dia, I’m a woman. I don’t have big breasts, but I got a nice butt, so come with that dough and I’ll be there. At least a million and I’ll be there.

“Savannah Marshall can’t f*** with me. Anem a viure en la realitat. Savannah Marshall, you won a lucky decision when we were kids. Also London was hosting the Olympics. If you want to gloat about beating me 14 points to 8… come on now. And then I went on to become world champion in three different division and she broke. She knows she cannot and will not ever be able to f*** with me. She can come to America. I will go to the UK. We can go to Mexico. We can go anywhere, and I will f*** her up. She knows that. She’s scared of me. Savannah Marshall can get it. Tell Eddie Hearn, he came that whack-ass 250K. Tell him to come with 500K… 750K if he wants me to go to the UK and smoke his girl. Pay me.”

Dicaire continued her graciousness in post-fight questioning and promised not to let the loss dampen her future in the sport.

“I think Claressa did a good job tonight,” said Dicaire. “Tonight, she was the best. Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. Aquesta nit, I learned. I think this is just going to allow me to grow stronger. I don’t box to protect my record or keep my record at 0 pèrdues. I box to beat champions. Aquesta nit, I had the chance to fight the real champion. She won this time but count on me to go back to the gym and work hard and be world champion again for sure.

Escuts, who says her much-publicized MMA debut will likely be in Las Vegas in June, threw 409 punches in the fight and landed 128 Incloent 34.9% of her power punches. Dicaire threw 263 punches in return but landed just 31.

“Flint Michigan got the baddest boxer in the world!” said Shields to her fans. “We two-time undisputed. Pacquiao who? Canelo who? When someone else does what I did let me know.”



In the night’s co-main event, Houston’s undefeated Danielle Perkins (3-0, 1 KO) showed marked improvement and had a much easier time in her rematch against Georgia’s Monika “Lay Em Down” Harrison (2-2, 1 KO), scoring a dominant eight-round unanimous decision while picking up the WBC Silver Heavyweight Championship in the process.

The former amateur world champion Perkins used every bit of her superior athleticism, 6’ height and 72-inch reach to move around the ring and keep the 5’ 10” Harrison at bay with a punishing southpaw right jab and a steady diet of strong left hands to the head and body. A vegades, Referee Michael Griffin appeared to be considering a stoppage, but the durable Harrison kept coming forward and swinging for the fences for all eight rounds, despite the firepower coming her way.

Les puntuacions van ser 80-72 dels tres jutges.

“I apologize for not getting a knockout. I swear next time I’ll come back and give it to you, pedra foguera,” said Perkins, posterior a la baralla. “Monika made some adjustments this time. I hit her with some solid hammers and that girl stayed on her feet so kudos to her.”

Perkins threw 353 punches in the fight and landed 121 Incloent 40.9% dels seus trets de poder. Harrison threw 273 shots, but only found a home for 21 d'ells.

“I want to be the undisputed female heavyweight champion of the world,” continued Perkins. “I want to be the best you’ve ever seen.”

Pes gallo invicte Jamie “The Miracle” Mitchell (6-0-2, 43 KOs) of Pacific Grove, Califòrnia, looked impressive in battering and stopping more-experienced veteran Noemi “La Rebelde / No-No” Bosques (12-16-3, 2 KOs) in five one-sided rounds.

With the two-fisted punishment from Mitchell steadily increasing with every passing round, Referee Gerard White decided the stumbling and retreating Bosques had had enough and mercifully waved the fight off at 1:49 of the fifth.

“I was just zoned out. I was doing whatever fit the moment,” said Mitchell, posterior a la baralla. “That’s how I got the knockout. Thanks to my coaches and thanks to Claressa Shields for putting me on this card. This is an unforgettable moment for women.”

Prior to scoring the technical knockout, Mitchell landed 48% (80/167) of her power punches, i 40% (94/234) del seu cop de puny total. Noemi Bosques only landed 24 de 153 cops.

“I like to pick on myself to do better,” said Mitchell of her performance. “There were certain things I wanted to do, but they don’t call this girl a gatekeeper for nothing. I wish I had gotten her out of there quicker and been crisper with my jab. She was a bit tricky.”

In the opening bout of the broadcast, 2012 Medallista de bronze olímpic Marlen Esparza(9-1, 1 KO) stayed busy ahead of her scheduled challenge of WBC Flyweight Champion Ibeth Zamora in April with a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Canada’sShelly Barnett (ara 4-4-2, 2 KO).

Barnett tried to be aggressive, but Esparza’s skills allowed her to pot shot her bigger opponent, nearly at will, especially as the fight wore on. “We knew she was tough and bigger,” said Esparza. “I wanted someone with more weight because I never fight above 112 lliura. and I think I handled it well. I’m happy about the way everything played out. I’m happy to have been part of this event and to be working with Claressa again.”

Esparza threw 352 punches in the fight, aterratge 126, Incloent 26 body shots and 38.4% dels seus trets de poder. Barnett threw 291 i va aterrar 49. Classificacions dels jutges van ser 60-54, 6-53 x 2.

On the free pre-show portion of the pay-per-view, middleweight Timur Kerefov stayed undefeated (11-0, 6 KOs) with a TKO 3 over Saint Petersburg, Florida veteran Manny Woods (ara 16-11-1, 6 KOs). Woods left eye couldn’t hold up under the onslaught of punches from the Russian former amateur star. El temps era 1:06. Kerefov, Detroit via Shalushka, Russia and now training at Kronk Gym, threw 190 punches in the abbreviated encounter, aterratge 80, Incloent 24 cops al cos. Woods threw 122 and landed just 17.

Marie-Eve Dicaire va determinar la desfavorida contra Claressa Shields “Superdones” PPV aquest divendres a la nit

Leave a comment
MONT-REAL (Març 1, 2021) – Desfavorit invicte Marie-Eve Dicaire, la vigent campiona del món de pes superwelter femení de la FIB, s'ha preparat completament físicament i mentalment per a l'enfrontament indiscutible d'aquest divendres a la nit contra l'invicte titular del WBC i WBO i l'autoproclamat GOAT Claressa Escuts(10-0, 2 KOs).

Un homenatge al Dia Internacional de la Dona, “SUPERDONES: ESCUTS VS. DICAIRE” s'emetrà en directe als Estats Units a InDemand Pay Per View i s'emetrà en directe FITE.TV, i al Canadà On Canal Indigo, Campana TV, Shaw TV i retransmès en directe FITE.TV i YOOP. a partir de 9 p.m. I / 6 p.m. PT, del Dort Financial Center a Flint, Michigan. (Per fer la comanda prèvia FITE.TV anar a www.fitetv/watch/shields-vs-decaire/2p8qn/).

Dicaire (17-0), un popular boxejador francocanadenc, entén i aprecia plenament la importància de “SUPERDONES”, i quina victòria molesta faria per a la seva marca de construcció, sobretot fora del seu Canadà natal.

“Em vaig deixar emocionar,” va explicar Dicaire. “Sé que és una lluita important, però em vaig assegurar que estic centrat en la tasca que he de complir i no en el resultat de la lluita. La meva estratègia es basa en les meves habilitats. On ella posa el seu focus depèn d'ella. Al meu costat, Vaig fer tot el que tenia per preparar-me per a aquesta lluita. I ho sóc!

“Sempre he dit que la boxa és una passió, i estic content de guanyar-me la vida amb això,” va dir ella. Però, a mi, és més que això. És una manera d'inspirar la gent, per canviar la mentalitat de la societat. Vull aconseguir la grandesa per inspirar a la gent a somiar en gran i això és el que tracta aquesta lluita per a mi.”

L'any passat, 2-el temps olímpic de boxa medallista d'or Shields, que lluitarà contra Dicaire a casa seva a Flint, Michigan, va signar un acord plurianual amb el promotor d'arts marcials mixtes PFL. La seva transició a MMA es produirà aquest any.

Dicaire, irònicament, va ser campió del món amateur de karate abans de passar a la boxa, en què ha derrotat cinc campions del món.

“La meva formació en karate sempre ha estat una eina poderosa per a mi en termes de mentalitat i ètica de treball,” va comentar Dicaire. “Em vaig formar en les arts marcials i crec que és el que em va fer l'atleta fort que sóc ara.”

Aquest divendres a la nit escuts vs. Dicarie determinarà el núm. 1 dona a la divisió de pes superwelter, si no en tota la boxa.

LES BOXEJADORES FASTS DEMANEN EQUITITAT I UNA PLATAFORMA

Leave a comment
Boxing’s top female athletes have no “casa”, no network to showcase their talent

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA

NOVA YORK — As women continue to make strides toward equality across industries, boxing and its media partners remain in the past by disenfranchising women from a fair opportunity to showcase their skills and earn a living. In the same year that America elected its first female Vice President, a woman of color, the elite women athletes that top the world rankings have no regular television platform or boxing series. Nowhere is this unfair playing field more apparent than in the United States and North America.

The overwhelming majority of top females in boxing have not fought in 2020, or have not fought since January. The pandemic has hit women in boxing even harder than it has hit the men. The picture wasn’t rosy before Covid-19 and, without action, there is no reason to believe that it will improve.

This impacts all women in American boxing, from stars Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano, to reigning world champions, to six-round and four-round fighters. Other than a handful of athletes, most female boxers must hold down a full-time or part-time job to make ends meet.

Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight and others have pursued opportunities in MMA to supplement their income and avoid inactivity. Claressa Escuts, the most acclaimed woman in American amateur history, medallista d'or olímpic en dues ocasions, and a proven attraction, is presently without a platform and just announced a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League.

The unified champion from Flint, Michigan, told The Athletic that, “Són les (boxa) a sexist sport. It’s sexist with the opportunities we’re given. It’s sexist with the TV time. It’s sexist with how much we get paid. els tres. It’s fine for a female boxing star to try her hand at MMA. They shouldn’t be compelled to do so for lack of opportunities.”

“These women consistently deliver great fights and solid viewership numbers,” va dir Lou DiBella, who promotes more women than any other US promotional entity. “They put people in seats, and viewership of their events often rivals the men. These aren’t club level fighters. They are elite world champions and, without television, without a regular platform, they can’t be financially secure or build any kind of fan base. It’s remarkable that women’s boxing is growing its talent pool and raising its stature, given the scarce television and streaming slots that are reserved for female fighters. This is a testament to the resiliency and dedication of boxing’s female athletes, who deserve better.”

Local promoters, who are in the business of growing fighters and filling seats, can offer spots on their cards and regional exposure, but purses are very limited without television revenue. Female fighters’ purses are often limited to a percentage of tickets they sell out of hand.

At the top levels, women are passed over. Heather Hardy, a DiBella Entertainment fighter, has seen the difference in the growth of boxers of both genders. “At press conferences, I sit at a seat at the very end, with the rest of the undercard fights,” , Va dir Hardy. “I watch the boys go from sitting next to me at the end of the table, to moving up to the main card, then the co-main, and then the main event, but my seat never moved. No matter how much press I got, no matter how many fights I won, I never moved. Systemic sexism didn’t allow me to move.”

“It isn’t like we are a separate organization like the WNBA. We are only provided with token opportunities, fighting on the same cards, often in much more competitive fights than the men, and still aren’t treated fairly,” , Va dir Hardy. “We have no place or professional home of our own.”

“This trickles down to aspiring female boxers and the amateur programs,” DiBella continued. “Young women in boxing need to see other women on the big stage. They need to see women that look like them on television and on streaming platforms. They need to know that if they pursue a boxing career, there will be sufficient opportunities to be seen showcasing their talents, for fair wage. If women are able to headline a boxing event, or capable of selling a significant percentage of a live gate, they should not be paid ten to twenty percent of what similarly situated men are paid. We’re not sending the right message here, and there’s no good reason for it in the 21st century.”

The pool of talent available to women in the pro ranks is smaller, but it forces the best matchups. It forces women to fight outside of their weight classes.

“Jessica McCaskill just won unified world titles, and wants to fight me at 147,” said Amanda Serrano, seven-division world champion. “She called me out at 147! It’s kind of sad. Good for us if it makes sense, but the truth is, they’re calling out champs at 126. That is four different weight classes to go up. Men don’t have to do that! Women are constantly forced to compromise ourselves just to get a chance.”

The talent pool won’t increase unless younger generations are inspired by women on television and streaming – women who can fight as well as, and often better than, the men who are on television now. It’s time to stop asking nicely. It’s time for women boxers to demand fairness and stability, and it’s up to network executives, els mitjans de comunicació, and those who control access to media platforms, to stop living in the past. It’s time for women in boxing to fight for themselves and for the right to earn a living. And it’s now a time for action.

And headlining on SHOWTIME again will continue my goal to lift women’s boxing to new heights. I’m going to give Flint and fight fans all over the world a night to remember on May 9!"

“I am very excited for this opportunity and it is an honor to face an opponent like Claressa Shields,” said Dicaire. “I am thankful to my promoter Yvon Michel and everyone involved in making this possible.

In the four-belt era, only seven fighters have been undisputed in one division, including Shields, Katie Taylor, Cecilia Braekhus, Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor, Terence Crawford, and Oleksandr Usyk.

 de gener 10 a Atlantic City, N. J., Shields made history by claiming the WBC and WBO 154-pound world championships with a dominating unanimous decision over Ivana Habazin.

Els Shields, de 24 anys (10-0, 2 KOs) va dominar Habazin des de la campana d'obertura, utilitzant una forta punxa i una dieta constant de tirs corporals que van deixar al croat principalment en mode defensiu durant la lluita de deu rondes. A la sisena ronda, a series of body shots forced Habazin to take a knee in the first knockdown of her career.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Febrer 10, 2020) – Sortint de subcampions consecutives en tornejos importants, EUA Boxa pes plomaAndrea Medina està a un torneig de representar el seu país als Jocs Olímpics de Tòquio 2020.

Al desembre, Medina, de 20 anys, va perdre una decisió divididaLupe Gutiérrez al 2020 U.S. Proves olímpiques per equips de boxa, i 4-1 aJúlia Tsyplakova (Ucraïna) el mes passat al Torneig Strandja de Bulgària. El Chula Vista, El boxejador de Califòrnia va ser nomenat recentment als Jocs Olímpics de Tòquio dels EUA Boxing 2020 Equip de qualificació de boxa.

"Col·locar segon a les proves només em va fer més ganes d'aconseguir aquest lloc de classificació olímpica,", va dir Medina. "Només volia mostrar a USA Boxing que jo era el que representava 57 quilograms. Només milloraré i no puc esperar per mostrar al món tot el que tinc.

“Per això (La seva platja) sent el meu primer torneig internacional, Estava molt orgullós de fins on vaig arribar al torneig i d'aconseguir aquesta medalla de plata. Vaig estar molt content amb totes les meves actuacions i estic emocionat de tornar a treballar en coses que he de millorar. A part de tot això, anar a un país diferent va ser fantàstic i no puc esperar per viatjar més fent el que més m'agrada".

Medina i els seus companys de l'equip dels EUA estan entrenant actualment a Colorado Springs al centre d'entrenament olímpic i paralímpic d'última generació dels Estats Units. Per classificar-se per participar als Jocs Olímpics d'enguany, Medina necessita acabar entre els tres primers en els 57 quilos (125 lliures.) divisió al Torneig de Qualificació d'Amèrica, 26 de març-abril 3, a Buenos Aires, Argentina. Una darrera oportunitat al World Qualifier a París, França, en què podria classificar-se per als Jocs Olímpics col·locant-se entre els cinc primers.

"Per mi significa el món estar a l'equip de qualificació olímpica de boxa dels EUA,", va afegir Medina. "És tot el que he estat treballant des que vaig començar a competir amb vuit anys i no em puc creure que els Jocs Olímpics siguin només en uns mesos. Fer història a San Diego sent la primera persona a formar part de l'equip olímpic de boxa és un gran problema per a la meva família, la meva ciutat i jo mateix. No puc expressar la il·lusió que estic d'haver arribat fins aquí, però encara queda molt per fer, i estic preparat.

"Sento que treballo millor sota pressió i realment crec que em classificaré per a Tòquio, ja sigui a l'Argentina o a França, però el meu objectiu principal, ara mateix, és entrenar dur per aconseguir aquest or a l'Argentina".

Medina creu que la seva principal fortalesa dins del ring és la seva capacitat d'ajustar-se durant una baralla. Prefereix lluitar a l'exterior, però pot barallar-se si cal, perquè li agrada llançar molts cops de força.

Medina també s'adona que està en un lloc privilegiat pel que fa a la creixent popularitat de la boxa femenina, seguint els passos de boxa dels Estats Units del doble medallista d'or olímpicClaressa Escuts i medalla de bronze olímpicaMarlen Esparza, juntament amb passats olímpics dels EUA com araLa reina Underwood iMikaela Mayer.

"La boxa femenina només augmentarà,", va predir Medina. "Ser lluitadora avui significa molt per a mi, perquè he estat fent això durant 15 anys, i veure-la créixer any rere any només demostra com de fortes són les femelles i què podem aconseguir. Ho predic, en el futur, la boxa no es veurà com un esport d'home, però serà neutral tant per a homes com per a dones".

Competir als Jocs Olímpics ha estat un somni de tota la vida per a Medina, però també té plans per al seu futur immediat.

“Assolir els Jocs Olímpics ha estat el meu principal objectiu al llarg de la meva carrera de boxa,", va remarcar l'Andrea, "Així que ara que està tan a prop em fa ganes de treballar encara més dur. Altres objectius meus són graduar-me a la universitat i aconseguir el meu propi condomini, que faré quan tot això hagi acabat.

"Tinc previst convertir-me en professional després dels Jocs Olímpics, molt probablement a principis o mitjans de 2021, així puc acabar l'escola i donar al meu cos una mica de descans i recuperació”.

Andrea Medina està tan a prop de ser olímpica i tot el que s'associa amb aquest èxit que pràcticament pot arribar i sentir-ho. Només un pas més, ja sigui a Buenos Aires o París, i serà una missió complerta per a ella.
