Claressa Shields domina para ganhar WBC Silver Belt, Estabelece o recorde do Detroit Brawl Gate; Tem visões no próximo campeonato mundial

Fotos de Boy Ryder

Apenas em sua primeira luta de oito rounds, Claressa “T-Rex” Shields obteve uma vitória espetacular por decisão unânime na última sexta-feira, Junho 16, no Templo Maçônico em Detroit para ganhar o título WBC Silver Super Middleweight.

Shields (3-0, 1KO) dominou Sydney difícil “Ginger, o Ninja” LeBlanc (4-2-1), vencendo todas as oito rodadas em todos os três juízes’ scorecards a caminho de adicionar o cinturão de prata do WBC ao cinturão do NABF Middleweight Championship. LeBlanc simplesmente não era páreo para os punhos em chamas do favorito da multidão, Shields, que se estabeleceu de forma convincente como uma candidata ao campeonato mundial de boxe feminino depois de apenas três lutas profissionais.
Shields’ luta foi o evento principal de um evento apinhado de Detroit Brawl, que estabeleceu um novo recorde de portão para a popular série de Detroit do promotor Dmitriy Salita.

“Claressa é uma das melhores boxeadoras do mundo!” disse Dmitriy Salita. “Independente de gênero, suas habilidades e experiência são as dos lutadores de elite do mundo. Ela está melhorando a cada luta e o céu é o limite. Claressa está pronta para os lutadores top de sua categoria e vamos trabalhar para que a próxima luta do campeonato aconteça”

No evento co-principal de 10 rodadas, peso cruzado transplantado de Detroit, Alexey Zubov mudou-se para 15-1, 9 KOs com uma decisão surpreendentemente fácil de 10 rodadas sobre o conceituado Demetrius Banks de Detroit (9-1, 4 KOs).
Desde o sino de abertura, a taxa de trabalho superior de Zubov contou a história, já que o confuso Banks não tinha respostas para o grande golpe do russo. Todos os três juízes marcou a luta 99-91. Não houve knockdowns.
“Duas das melhores perspectivas cruiserweight do mundo se encontraram em Detroit,” continuação da palavra. “O vencedor agora é um verdadeiro competidor, pronto para lutar contra os melhores do mundo. Alexey melhorou muito desde o tempo em que treinou com Sugar Hill no Kronk Boxing Gym. A magia de Kronk está viva e ganhou vida na atuação de Alexey. Grandes coisas no horizonte para ele!”
Outro estábulo crescente de candidatos promissores de Salita, Peso galo de Detroit Ja’Rico O’Quinn (7-0, 5KOs) tinha muitas ferramentas para o desarmado David Martino (2-3, 2 KOs) e venceu por decisão unânime e dominante (60-54, todos os três juízes). Um talento para assistir, O’Quinn basicamente conduziu o determinado Martino a seus tiros rápidos por seis rodadas.
“A defesa de Ja'Rico foi excelente em sua luta. Seu oponente raramente era capaz de tocá-lo. Ele vai ser uma força na 118 lbs. em um futuro não muito distante.”
Outro concorrente emergente do estábulo de Salita, bola de demolição do meio-médio júnior Bakhtiyar Eyubov (13-0, 11 KOs) precisou de apenas 1:41 da primeira rodada para mastigar e cuspir Cesar Soriano do México. Eyubov mirou no corpo de Soriano e tirou-lhe o fôlego com um baque surdo de capuzes de esquerda no fígado que acabou rapidamente. Eyubov é um animal.
“Bakhtiyar subiu na categoria de peso porque ninguém vai lutar com ele. Essa luta mostrou o porquê,” Disse Palavra. “Ele é muito forte para a maioria dos lutadores permanecerem por muito tempo. Ele estará em uma grande briga em um futuro próximo. Ele está pronto.”
Em outros resultados, Antonio Urista de Michigan (8-2, 2 KOs), tirou uma surpresa surpreendente com uma decisão unânime de seis rodadas (59-53 e 58-54 e 58-54) sobre o Turcomenistão Serdar Hudayberdiyev (3-1, 2 KOs). Urista largou Hudayberdiyev com uma mão direita em loop e nunca se recuperou totalmente. Ambos os lutadores sofreram cortes neste caso difícil.
Para abrir o show, Michigan meio-pesado Darren Gibbs (1-2, Eu nocauteei) obteve sua primeira vitória profissional com um TKO1 de 30 segundos sobre o estreante Scott McCurdy; Jacob Bonas (3-0-1, 2 KOs) marcou um TKO3 sobre Tony Brooks (1-2) e Dimash Niyazov (10-0-3, 5 KOs) permaneceu invicto com um nocaute técnico no quinto round sobre Ramon Guevara surpreendentemente determinado (10-24-2, 6 KOs).
Thank you to everyone involved in this terrific show,” disse Dmitriy Salita. “The fans of Michigan asked for world-class boxing and they’ve responded by filling the Masonic Temple. And thank you to all my great sponsors for all their help and congratulations to all the fighters for their brave performances. It is onward and upward for Claressa Shields, who will be back later this summer against a world-class fighter. Clearly, she is ready for anyone in the world.
