ATLANTIC CITY (April 13, 2019) – Claressa Shields is the undisputed middleweight champion of the world. The 24-year-old Flint, me. native delivered the best performance of her career and cruised to a unanimous decision over Germany’s Christina Hammer Saturday on SHOWTIME in arguably the most significant women’s boxing match in history. De juryleden scoorden het gevecht 98-92 en 98-91 tweemaal.


The two-time Olympic gold-medalist Shields (9-0, 2 KO), who entered the fight holding the IBF, WBA and WBC 160-pound titles, showed off her complete arsenal of skills in the dominating performance and now joins Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr Usyk and women’s welterweight Cecilia Braekhus as the only fighters to have unified all four major world titles in any weight class.


Christina Hammer (24-0, 11 KO), who owned the WBO belt entering the fight, had her jab largely neutralized and her defense exploited from start to finish. Shields landed a remarkable 44% of her power punches and landed on 112 total punches compared to just 49 for Hammer. As impressive as her offense was, Shields’ defense and head movement was immaculate as Hammer was able to connect on just 13% van haar totale stoten, 11% of her jabs and 18% van haar power shots.


Speaking to SHOWTIME’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood following the historic night for women’s boxing, the outspoken and emotional Shields held nothing back.


“I am the greatest woman of all time,”Zei Shields, who nearly earned a stoppage during a barrage in the closing moments of the eighth round. “I did it. She didn’t win a single round. I almost knocked her out. I swear I feel like I’m dreaming right now. Thanks to Christina Hammer and her team. They said she had a hard jab and they weren’t lying. Her jab is off the chain.


“I was just calculating in the first round and after that I started picking her apart,” she continued. “I knew I could hurt her. I thought I finished her in round eight. I thought the fight should have been stopped. She was holding onto me. I just told myself, stay cool, stay cool. I was trying to get the perfect punch to get her out of there.”


Fresh off the biggest win of her professional career, the newly-crowned undisputed champion of the world already has her sights set on another opponent.


“Women’s boxing, we’re on fire. I cannot wait to see the next super fight. Give me Cecilia Brækhus at 154 pond. That’s who I want next. Either her or Savannah Marshall.”


“I didn’t fight very good or fast,” said a subdued Hammer. “That’s boxing, anything can happen. I wanted this fight. She won, respect to her. She’s a tough, strong woman and that’s all I can say.


“She’s fast, she comes forward. She has fast hands. I couldn’t land my jab as good as I expected. I’ll come back and I’ll be back stronger.”


“I think tonight’s fight will go down in the history books as an epic battle with the likes of Ali-Frazier, Leonard-Hearns and De La Hoya-Trinidad,” Said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions.“With this dominating and captivating performance to become crowned undisputed middleweight champion coupled with her list of record-breaking accomplishments, Claressa Shields is well on her way to being as revered as Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Serena WIlliams, Michael Jordan, Pele and others at the top of their game.”


In de co-featured bout, Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KO), widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, kept his unbeaten record intact with a 10-round unanimous decision over former No. 1-gerangschikt in de VS. amateur Rydell Booker (25-2, 12 KO). De juryleden scoorden het gevecht 99-91 en 98-91 tweemaal.


The 25-year-old Franklin dictated the tempo throughout and was far more active and aggressive than his 38-year-old counterpart. Booker had his moments, particularly in the early rounds when he landed several flush power shots but the youthful Franklin pulled away in the second half of the fight as Booker tired and Franklin targeted the body. Franklin averaged 54 punches per round to Booker’s 35 and led 146-94 in algemene stoten landden.


“I think I had a decent performance,” said the Saginaw, me. inheems. “There’s some stuff I could work on. I over-crowded myself a little bit and I was a little over-anxious. He had a lot more experience than me and used it to his advantage. He could see what I was doing.


“I learned to stay more patient because I had him hurt a few times, but once I got over-anxious, my whole game plan went out the window. I started messing up and making crazy mistakes I shouldn’t have. Now it’s back to the drawing board to work on my mistakes and come out bigger and badder next time.”


“I felt he out-hustled me, but it was a lot closer than how the judges scored it,” said Booker. “He was missing me a lot more than it looked. I slipped a lot of shots and hit him clean.


“I knew he would bring the pressure, but he needs a lot of work. He stays too centered with his head. He’s alright. What he has on his side is youth. I’d rate my performance about a seven. I had a training camp injury I was dealing with. I’m going to stay active and come back stronger than ever.”


In de uitzending opener, undefeated top-five ranked heavyweight prospect Otto Wallin (20-0, 13 KO, 1 ND) and Baltimore’s Nick Kisner (21-4-1, 6 KO, 1 ND) had their 10-round bout cut short when the two heavyweights clashed heads in the opening round. Wallin suffered a gash on the side of his head while Kisner suffered a cut over his right eye, hindering his ability to see. At the advice of the ringside physician in between rounds one and two, referee Earl Brown stopped the fight, resulting in a no-decision.


Ten tijde van de onderbreking, Wallin led 14-3 in algemene stoten landden, 7-1 in jabs and 7-2 in power punches.


“To me, his cut didn’t look that bad,” said a disappointed Wallin, who was making his U.S. debuut. “It’s a shame because I trained really hard for this fight and was looking to put on a show for fans in America. I just didn’t have time to get going.


“I’d like to get back in there soon and show what I can do. I’m going to take this as a learning experience.”


“I caught a headbutt and the referee came to me,” said Kisner. “He saw me swiping at my eye and said ‘can you see?’ I said, ‘soon as I get the blood out of my eye, sure.’


“I feel horrible after training so hard. I felt good in the first round. The judges probably gave him the first round, but I always take off the first round. I was feeling like I could get to him eventually. You saw me land my overhand right.”


Tonight’s live event was promoted by Salita Promotions.


An encore presentation of tonight’s tripleheader will air Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via the network’s On Demand platforms.

Isiah Seldon klaar voor ongeslagen middengewicht Tyler Howard op 16 november in Oklahoma City

Laat een reactie achter

Atlantic City, NJ (November 1, 2018) – Middengewicht Isiah Seldon maakt zich op voor zijn grootste gevecht uit zijn carrière wanneer hij het opneemt tegen de ongeslagen Tyler Howard in een gevecht dat gepland staat voor acht ronden op 16 november in The Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City..

 

 

 

De bout, die wordt gepromoot door Top Rank, wordt live gestreamd op ESPN +.

 

 

 

Tijdens het hoofdevenement zal WBO Junior kampioen weltergewicht Maurice Hooker verdedigen tegen Alex Saucedo.

 

 

 

Seldon (12-1-1, 4 KO) trainde in Atlantic City onder het toeziend oog van Bill Johnson.

 

 

 

“Ik kijk uit naar deze geweldige kans,” zei Seldon. “Ik verlangde naar een kans om het op te nemen tegen een vechter als Howard, want een overwinning zal mijn carrière naar een hoger niveau tillen.”

 

 

 

Team Seldon, werkt ijverig samen met de oude manager Jim Kurtz, erg enthousiast over de kans die Seldon voor hem heeft.

 

 

 

“Het wordt niet groter dan vechten in een Top Rank-show met een explosief hoofdevenement tussen Hooker en Saucedo. Het personeel van Top Rank is top. Ik vind het heel spannend dat Isiah deze kans krijgt om zijn talenten op een groot podium te laten zien. Ikzelf en co-manager Joe Thompson zijn ervan overtuigd dat Isiah klaar is om te schitteren op 16 november en dat het hier niet snel genoeg kan komen,” zei Kurtz, die Seldon vanaf dag één heeft geleid.

 

 

 

Kurtz beheerde ook de vader van Seldon, WBA zwaargewicht kampioen, Bruce Seldon.

 

 

 

“Isiah is herenigd met zijn oorspronkelijke trainer Bill Johnson en ze hebben geen slag overgeslagen. Dit is de eerste keer dat Isiah een volwaardig trainingskamp heeft gehad. We hebben geen middel onbeproefd gelaten ter voorbereiding op dit gevecht. Isiahs conditionering is op een punt dat ik nog nooit bij hem heb gezien. Hij krijgt geweldige sparring en zijn verbetering bij het werken met Bill ter voorbereiding op dit gevecht is ongelooflijk. Hij is klaar om de wereld een nieuwe en verbeterde Isiah Seldon te laten zien. Hij heeft een grote erfenis te volgen als zoon van voormalig WBA zwaargewicht kampioen Bruce Seldon, maar Isiah is vastbesloten om zijn eigen stempel te drukken op de bokssport.”

 

 

 

“Hij heeft altijd de macht in beide handen gehad, scoren in bijna elk gevecht, maar nu leert hij kalm te blijven en jongens af te maken in plaats van overdreven opgewonden te raken en ze los te laten. Hij slaat harder dan ooit tevoren, door zijn stoten samen te voegen en zijn bokskwaliteiten hebben een niveau bereikt waarop hij het tempo van het gevecht kan beheersen. We hebben het rustig aan gedaan met Isiah, aangezien hij geen amateurgevechten had, maar we zijn nu op het punt waarop hij klaar is om zijn stempel te drukken op de middengewichtdivisie.”

 

 

 

“We weten dat Tyler Howard een goede ongeslagen jager is. Hij had een goede amateurcarrière, komt uit een gezin met een boksachtergrond, en heeft een solide managementteam die geweldig werk met hem hebben gedaan. Op 16 november verwachten we een zwaar gevecht met wat vuurwerk, maar we zijn ervan overtuigd dat Isiah als overwinnaar zal uitkomen en dit zal ons naar grotere en betere kansen leiden.”

“In the 1st round, I hit him with a big right hand, but the bell saved him. I hit him good a couple more times. Some guys know how to survive, and he is one of them.”

 

 

 

“We have been talking to the USBA about fighting for their title. That will get me to where I need to be. I am ready for a world title shot. I have been putting it out there that I would like fight George Groves or Tyron Zuege. I will go to China or Germany or wherever to fight those guys.”

Davis and Maye battle to draw

Voor onmiddellijke publicatie

Atlantic City, NJ (Mei 30, 2016)–This past Friday night at the Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City, Rising Promotions staged it’s third consecutive fight card in front of a large crowd that saw Isiah Seldon defeat Eddie Edmond in the six-round main event.

The middleweight bout highlighted a entertaining six bout card.

Seldon rocked Edmond several times with right hands that had the Newark, New Jersey resident holding on. The grabbing got much more severe and Edmond was deducted a point in round four. In ronde zes, Seldon sealed the fight when he landed a right hand that forced Edmond’s glove to touch the canvas for a knockdown.

Seldon, 156 lbs won by scores of 59-54, 59-53 en 58-54 to raise his record to 9-1. Edmond, 158 lbs is 4-5-2.

In de co-functie, Chuck Mussachio shook off 39 months of ring rust to pound out a six-round unanimous decision over Willis Lockett in a cruiserweight rematch of a draw that occurred almost eight-years ago.
Mussachio was adept with his jab and landed some hard right hands that stunned Lockett. Despite the long layoff, Mussachio was sharp with his punches and reflexes looked on-point as he was only hit with a couple right hands. Mussachio thrilled his fan base that has stood by him throughout his eleven year career and the Lower Cape May Regional High School guidance counselor will look to make one more run at a title fight.

Mussachio, 183 lbs of Wildwood, New Jersey won by scores of 60-54, 59-55 en 58-56 en is nu 19-3-2. Lockett, 205.3 lbs of Takoma Park, Maryland is 14-17-5.

In an action filled welterweight bout, Quan Johnson made a successful pro debut with a fourth round stoppage over Adrian Wilson in the final scheduled round of their welterweight bout.

Johnson showed fast hands from his southpaw stance and he got off to a good start when a straight left hand in round one landed for a knockdown. Even later, a hard straight left sent Wilson down for a second time in the opening frame, Wilson began to bleed from his nose in the next round and his troubles worsened when a cut over the right eye formed after another hard left. Wilson showed heart as he fought back hard but, he was outgunned as he tasted the canvas two more times in round four from first a right hook and then finally an accumulation of punches forced the bout to be stopped at 2:15 van de vierde ronde.

Johnson, 148.6 van Cherry Hill, New Jersey is 1-0 met 1 knock out. Wilson, 147.3 lbs of Atlantic Cuty is 0-3.

Heavyweight’s Quian Davis and Soloman Maye battled to a four round majority draw

Davis boxed but Maye came forward in attempt to make the fight. The judges liked the aggressiveness of Maye and gave him credit for two rounds on two cards ad Davis took a card 39-37 while two read even at 38-38.

Davis, 253 lbs of Mays Landing, New Jersey is now 2-0-2. Maye, 226.7 Ibs New Haven, Connecticut is 1-6-2.

2016 United States Olympic Alternate, LeRoy Davila stopped Dominic Whitehurst in the second round in a scheduled four round bantamweight bout featuring pro debuter’s.

Davila showed quick hands from his southpaw stance and dropped Whitehurst with a body combination in round two. Davila landed a three punch combination to the body to register a second knockdown. Davila ended things when he landed a hard left hand and the fight was stopped at 2:34.
Davila, 116.9 lbs of New Brunswick, New Jersey is now 1-0 met een knock-out. Whitehurst, 117.5 lbs of Chillicothe, Ohio is 0-1.

Said Davila’s manager, Pete Festa, “Rising Promotions is the best up and coming promoter in the industry.”

Lamont Capers opened up the show by scoring a eight round split decision over Nick Kisner in a cruiserweight bout.

Capers was effective with the right hand that continued to get through on Kisner. Kisner landed some good shots that made Capers nose bleed, but he wasn’t as consistent or active enough to pile up the rounds. Kisner was deducted a point for holding in round seven.

Capers, 196.2 lbs of Hawley, Pennsylvania won by scores of 77-74 tweemaal, while Kisner took a card 76-75. Capers is now 6-8-2. Kisner, 197.8 lbs of Baltimore, Maryland falls to 16-3-1.

“We are the most active promoter in New Jersey and our mission is bring world class boxing back to the boxing capital of the state and that’s Atlantic City. We are working on bringing TV into the picture in the very near future,” said Rising Promotions Thomas LaManna.

“Debbie LaManna and Rising Promotions have done a tremendous job in trying to restore Atlantic City’s reputation as a boxing town again. They seem to have found a niche by bringing local fighters who have strong fan bases to a great venue like the Claridge,” said prominent boxing writer, Dave Weinberg of The Atlantic City Press.

The next Rising Promotions card will take place on Friday, Juli 22 at The Claridge Hotel with the return of welterweight contender, Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna in the main event.
