(Broken Arrow, Добре) As part of Showtime’s 20th anniversary season of ShoBox: Новото поколение, този петък, Септември 24, 2021, Salita Promotions will return to one of the most unique fight venues in the United States, outdoors in the City of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma’s arts and entertainment district, for a live tripleheader broadcast featuring six prospects boasting combined records of 72-2-1.


Set in the middle of the scenic city’s town square, in the 10-round bantamweight main event bout, 26-year-old Detroit native Ja’Rico O’Quinn (14-0-1, 8 Нокаута) will face California’s 24-year-old Saul Sanchez (16-1, 9 Нокаута). The co-main event will pit undefeated featherweight prospects Jayvon Garnett (10-0, 5 Нокаута) and Luis Reynaldo Nunez (11-0, 8 Нокаута) against each other in a ten-round bout and in the opener, Алехандро Гереро (12-1, 9 Нокаута) faces the undefeated Otar Eranosyan (9-0, 6 Нокаута) in an eight-round super featherweight contest.


The event will be Salita Promotions’ second attempt to stage a fight at the outdoor boxing hotbed. През август 2019, a Salita event featuring undefeated Uzbek Shohjahon Ergashev had to be moved to the nearby confines of the Central Park Community Center due to rain.


“I am thrilled that Showtime selected Broken Arrow for these boxing matches during ShoBox’s 20th anniversary,” said Broken Arrow Mayor Debra Wimpee. “I can’t think of a better place to showcase these amazing athletes than right here in the beautiful and award-winning Rose District. The atmosphere on Main St. is going to be like nothing we’ve seen before, and I’m excited that a global audience will get to see what we Broken Arrowans have known all along. The Rose District and our citizens are second to none when it comes to celebrating the arts and entertainment.”


Promoter Dmitriy Salita says he’s hopeful this time the weather will cooperate and set the stage for an unforgettable setting for the fights Friday night.


“I am honored to promote the September 24 ShoBox in such a unique outside setting,"Саид Word. “The City of Broken Arrow have been wonderful hosts and we are happy to be returning for this out-of-the-ordinary ShoBox event. The weather reports are favorable this time and we have a fantastic show lined up with crossroads fights, top to bottom.”


In the unlikely event of inclement weather, the show will once again relocate to Central Park Community Center at 1500 S. Main St.


O’Quinn vs. Sanchez – 10-Round Bantamweight Main Event Bout


Previously rated in the top-ten in the world by the WBO at 115 паунда, O’Quinn last fought at 118 pounds in a dominating unanimous decision over Oscar Vasquez in the 250th edition of ShoBox in January 2020. Ranked as the No. 1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 преди да се обърне професионалист в 2015, O’Quinn boasts blazing-fast hands and an ability to throw effortless combinations. A fan favorite in his hometown of Detroit, he was busy in 2018 и 2019, winning three times in each year, with five of the six fights taking place in his home state of Michigan.


“I’ve been waiting for this moment,” said O’Quinn. “I can’t wait to show my talent to the world again. I don’t really know much about him, but he better learn all he can about me. Not that it will help him any. I’m going to win because there are levels to this and he is not on my level. That will be very apparent quickly. I’m a strong force in the bantamweight division. Training is going good but it’s hard. I train hard and fight easy.”


The 24-year-old Sanchez, който се класира Не. 8 by the WBA at 118 паунда, is riding a four-fight winning streak. Неговото последно време,, Sanchez made quick work of Frank Gonzalez, knocking him down three times en route to a first-round stoppage. The Pacoima, Халиф. native scored an eighth-round stoppage of Brandon Benitez in an entertaining and all-action fight in his ShoBox debut in May 2019. He dropped his next fight, a split decision to Edwin Rodriguez, but rebounded with a unanimous decision over Victor Trejo Garcia to jumpstart his winning streak. Trained by Manny Robles, Sanchez is the younger brother of 19-1 professional featherweight Emilio Sanchez.


“This is the biggest fight of my career on the biggest stage of my career, and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by,- каза Санчес. “I’m going to show everyone watching on SHOWTIME that I belong with the big boys. O’Quinn is a good fighter but I’m going to give him his first loss. I’m at a point in my career where I need to make that turning point to a world title shot, and that time is now.”


Garnett vs. Nunez – 10-Round Super Featherweight Bout


Jayvon Garnett hails from the boxing talent-laden city of Cincinnati, Ohio, where he first put on a pair of boxing gloves at the age of six. He had a stellar amateur career fighting over 110 пъти, developing his style and sharpening his skills in Ohio’s very competitive amateur boxing scene. The 26-year-old is coming off his career-best professional win, a unanimous decision over the once-beaten Jose Argel in June. Combining exceptional quickness and accuracy with a propensity for power, the 5’3” Garnett stopped five of his first six professional opponents. He has won his last four contests on the scorecards, all unanimously.


“It feels great to be fighting on SHOWTIME,” said Garnett. “I always dreamed of fighting on big platforms, but never dreamed it would be ShoBox for my first TV fight. Аз не знам много за моя опонент, but I will win this fight because I’m smarter. В пръстена, I’m a boxer and a thinker, but I also have heavy punches. С тази победа, I’m going to the next level up the ladder and getting closer to being in the world rankings.”


A decorated amateur in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata’s Luis Reynaldo Nunez started boxing at age eight and went on to win a number of national championships as a member of the Dominican national team, including gold in the 2016 Youth Championship. Фен-приятелски борец под налягане с тежки ръце, Нунес се превърна в професионалист в 18, passing every test put in front of him in his native country. His unblemished resume includes a unanimous decision over then 20-3-1 Eliezer Aquino and a fourth-round KO over then once-beaten Giovanni Gutierrez.


“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be fighting on SHOWTIME,” said the 21-year-old Nunez, who will be fighting outside of the Dominican Republic for the first time. “My opponent is a good fighter but I am here to show him what happens against real competition. Thanks to my team for getting me this opportunity and I look forward to making a splash on national television.”


Воин срещу. Eranosyan – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout


Борбата от Хюстън, Texas, Guerrero is a big-punching prospect who will be making his third appearance on ShoBox, looking to improve his record to 2-1 on the prospect development series. He won a closely contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo in March 2020, but was upset by Abraham Montoya in February. Известен аматьор, който спечели две национални титли за юноши, the 23-year-old “Pork Chop” has sparred with the likes of world champions Mikey Garcia and Brandon Rios at the famed Garcia Boxing Academy in California.


“Training is going great,” said Guerrero. “I’ve been in shape for two months so now it’s just touching up basic stuff here and there with my technique. I know Eranosyan will be tough, so we’re going in with a strong mind knowing he can fight. I’m training hard because I will have to be more than ready. The guy will not be a walk in the park. But I have a different mentality now. The last fight, I went in with the mentality of ‘I can beat everybody.This one, I have to go in with a smart mind and actually box the guy and use all my skills.”


Класиран №. 9 by the WBA at 130 паунда, Eranosyan was a highly decorated Georgian amateur who has transitioned seamlessly into the paid ranks. The 27-year-old didn’t turn professional until August 2020, but has already fought nine times. Now based in Miami Beach, Fla., “Pitbull” owns two notable fourth-round KOs over the 32-4 Juan Carlos Pena, including in his last time out on August 13. Eranosyan will make his ShoBox debut as he fights for the seventh time in 2021, which also marks his first pro fight outside of Florida.


“I haven’t studied Guerrero too much, but I watched a couple fights and he’s a good fighter with very good punching power and very good stamina,” said Eranosyan. “I’m adding a lot of stamina training and working on my legs for this fight to be ready for him. I don’t know exactly what will happen, but simply I am the best in the division, so I will win.”

SLOAN, Iowa – January 17, 2020 - Three promising and undefeated Detroit prospects shined during ShoBox: The New Generation’s 250тата episode Friday night with Russia native Vladimir Shishkin leading the way with a solid unanimous decision win in the main event Friday night from WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa.



With Tyson Fury’s trainer Sugarhill Steward from the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit working his corner, the 28-year-old fast-rising Shishkin (10-0, 6 Нокаута) won for the second consecutive time on ShoBox in a battle of unbeaten fighters as he dominated Ulises Sierra (15-1-2, 9 Нокаута) Сан Диего, Халиф. The 10-round super middleweight bout was scored in favor of Shishkin 100-90 и 99-91 два пъти.



Also posting victories were Steward’s students Shohjahon Ergashev, who registered a first-round knockout, and Detroit native Ja’Rico O’Quinn who won unanimously in a dominating eight-round bantamweight bout.



“Ergashev was spectacular but you almost feel like you wish you got to see more,” said Hall of Famer and ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood. “He’s the furthest advanced of the three and Ja’Rico O’Quinn sold himself tonight and was very aggressive, maybe too aggressive.”



Shishkin said afterwards that he fought with an injured left bicep and left elbow. “It was a much tougher fight than I thought it would be because I fought with one hand for most of the fight,"Той каза. “I was surprised he could take my punches, but I couldn’t move his hand out of the way with the left to hit him with the right. That affected me a lot because I use that a lot.”



Той добави: “I want Canelo (Alvarez). Искам (David) Benavidez. I want the champions next. I am ready for the next level. With Sugarhill in my corner I am ready for anyone. Even with one hand.”



Steward is the nephew of the legendary trainer Emanuel Steward. “I thought all the Detroit guys did great,” Sugarhill Steward said. “They all got good experience on television. That’s a factor that some fighters don’t take in to consideration. When they get on television, they don’t know how to handle it. You have to be used to being on a stage like this and I’m happy with the way they all performed. All the guys from Detroit stepped up on television to further their careers. I’m very happy all-around.”



Sierra didn’t have an answer for Shishkin’s body shots as Shishkin connected on 65 body shots to 28 for Sierra. “He was sharp and he was strong,” said Sierra, който стана 189тата boxer to lose his undefeated record on ShoBox в 19 years of the series. “But I was also hurt with a sprained hand a month before this fight and haven’t hit the bags since then.”



В съвместно черта схватката, hard-hitting super lightweight Shohjahon Ergashev (18-0, 16 Нокаута) showed off his powerful left hand as the southpaw from Uzbekistan also trained by Steward knocked out Adrian Estrella (29-5, 24 Нокаута). The fight ended at just 92 seconds into the first round with a devastating body shot as Estrella was unable to survive the entire 10-count.



“I just saw the window to the body, so I threw the shot,", Каза Ergashev, who is ranked in the top-15 in three of the four major sanctioning bodies. “I wasn’t planning to knock him out in the first round. I wanted to get some rounds in. The guy is durable and experienced, so I thought I would, but when I saw that opening, Аз трябваше да го вземе.



“I knew it was over the second it landed though. I knew he would not get up from that. No one could. That was a message to the super lightweight division. It’s Shoh Time! No matter where I fight, it is always Shoh Time.”



After Ergashev landed the knockout blow, Estrella of Fort Worth, Texas, went down writhing in pain from the left uppercut to the liver and unable to continue.



“I started moving and tried using my jab, but he was very quick with that punch,” Estrella said. “He just punched me very hard in the stomach and I was paralyzed on the canvas. I tried to stand up, but I couldn’t hear the referee counting. I couldn’t hear anything, and I couldn’t move. It was a hell of a shot.”



В телевизията отварачка, former No. 1-класира САЩ. amateur at bantamweight, Ja’Rico O’Quinn (14-0-1, 8 Нокаута) was impressive in his ShoBox debut as he outclassed a game Oscar Vasquez (15-3-1, 3 Нокаута) in a unanimous decision 79-73 three times at 118 паунда.



The WBO No. 10-ranked junior bantamweight O’Quinn worked the body effectively throughout the eight-round fight connecting on 83 body shots to 40 for Vasquez of Reno, Nev. O’Quinn outworked Vasquez with an average of 88 punches per round to Vasquez’s 59.2.



“I give this performance a six, to be honest,” said O’Quinn. “I want to fight bigger and taller people, that’s what I’m used to. I’m not taking anything away from Oscar. No matter what I will always come out on top. Even when things can get ugly, I know how to win beautiful.”



Farhood called the bout a “highly competitive, one-sided fight.”



Added O’Quinn: “I went into this fight knowing Oscar Vasquez was a tough guy. I knew he would be coming forward to make it ugly, so my game plan was to box him but if I had to, stand there and trade with him. I knew I’d be stronger than him and be able to take his punch. It was hard to land my shots with him leaning on me. I couldn’t turn him like I wanted and cut off angles, but we came, we conquered and I got the win.”



O’Quinn, who overcame a slow start losing the first round, ended round seven emphatically with a series of punches that rattled Vasquez, who stayed on his feet and didn’t give up. “I think I did amazing,” said Vasquez, a 32-year-old crane operator. “It was a very close fight. I thought I was winning the first five rounds. He hurt me once in the seventh round and that took a lot out of me. He was a better fighter tonight.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Salita Promotions. Пълното предаване ще се възпроизведе в понеделник, Януари 20 при 10 p.m. ET / PT на SHOWTIME EXTREME и ще бъде на разположение на SHOWTIME ANYTIME® и SHOWTIME по DEMAND®.

Звезда, who hails from Monterrey, Мексико, Оказа професионалист в 2010 и спечели 22 consecutive fights before he suffered his first setback in 2015. With just seven of his 33 pro fights going the full distance, Estrella is an all-action fighter typical of his Mexican roots. He earned a career-best win, a closely-contested split decision over Oscar Duarte, в неговия U.S. debut in February. Estrella will face his fourth undefeated prospect in his last five fights as he looks to get his career back on track with a win over the highly-regarded Ergashev.



“This is an opportunity I’m going to take full advantage of,” said Estrella. “I’ve been in camp for the last two months, so I’ll be in perfect shape to go in there and do my thing. I know Ergashev is a southpaw and a hard puncher with a big KO record, but I’ve been in this situation before. I have too much experience for him. Knowing that if I win this fight I could get a world title shot is all the motivation I need.”

They are going to see charisma, skills and explosiveness. I know I’m fighting a tough competitor. Той не идва, за да се установят. I’m coming prepared for war. It’s going to be a great night for boxing in the super flyweight division. I’m putting all the champions on notice.”



Vasquez, from Reno, Nev., is a former streaking prospect in the super flyweight division. After losing his third professional fight, the 5-foot Vasquez rattled off thirteen consecutive wins between 2012 и 2017 and was well on his way to making a name for himself in the division before a unanimous decision loss to once-beaten Ricardo Sandoval in May 2018 halted his momentum. After a year-and-a-half layoff, Vasquez returned by fighting Gilberto Mendoza to a majority draw in October. При 32 възраст, the hungry Vasquez finds himself in a do-or-die fight against O’Quinn.



“Training in Reno is going amazing,” said Vasquez. “It’s such a tremendous opportunity for my life. I’m trying to get to a high ranking and it’s a dream come true. I know O’Quinn is undefeated. He’s a boxer who likes to grab a lot. He doesn’t like pressure. I’m hoping I will tire him out. I think he’ll eventually give in as the fight goes on if I put on a lot of pressure. In the later rounds, he won’t even want to come out of his corner.”

I love boxing and I love that I’m one of the women who is carrying the sport, making it bigger and more well known. We’re getting more respect.

There are fighters out there who believe that they can beat me and that really motivates me. That’s why I train and put in the time that I do.

I want to show everybody that I’m a truly great fighter. I can beat Vasiliy Lomachenko’s record of winning titles in three divisions in 10 fights instead of 12. Още, I’m going backwards, not going up in weight, where there are better challenges for me.

My performances will lead to bigger fights and bigger purses for me and my opponents. I’m just going to keep building my name and building my brand.


With this fight against Habazin, I’m definitely going in looking for the knockout. If I get it in spectacular fashion, that will go viral and help push my career forward.

It means everything to have this fight back in my hometown. I want to be the good news for Flint and make people smile. I’m happy to be bringing a fight back home while I’m still on top. I feel like Flint will be uplifted by that.

Everyone back home is really excited for this event. It’s going to be a huge homecoming for me on October 5.

Muhammad Ali has trained here at 5тата Street Gym and every time I train here I feel like I’m in his presence. It makes me want to be even greater. He’s the GOAT and I’m going to be the GWOAT.

Being here in Florida is great for the weight cut. I’ve been down here for nine weeks and it’s hot every day. I’m sweating and working hard and the pounds are just coming off.

HANNAH RANKIN, IBO Super Welterweight Champion

It’s fantastic to be in Florida training for this fight. Everything has been perfect and I’m feeling great.

I’m really looking forward to October 5. Me and my opponent are going to put on a great show for fans for six rounds or as long as it lasts. I want to show them what women’s boxing is about.

There are lots of exciting things in the cards for me after this fight. I’m ready to take on the top fighters and pursue world titles at 154-pounds. I can’t wait to show everyone what I can do.

Considered one of the top American heavyweight prospects, Franklin is a former amateur standout and 2014 Национален шампион за златни ръкавици. He passed on the opportunity to compete for a spot on the 2016 Olympic Games and, after turning professional in 2015, built his undefeated record with relative ease through his first 17 битки. В 2019, Franklin stepped up his level of opposition in consecutive fights on SHOWTIME, earning a unanimous decision over former No. 1-класира САЩ. amateur Rydell Booker in April, followed by a hard-fought split-decision over Jerry Forrest in July. Сега, the 6-foot-2 Franklin returns for his third bout of the year seeking a conclusive victory for his hometown fans.

This is what I have been waiting for,” said Franklin. “I can’t wait to put a show on in front of my hometown with friends and family in the crowd. I’ve been working on my diet and taking better care of my body since my last fight. I’m focused on not wasting any punches and letting the knockout come naturally, not pushing for it. I’m going to be better conditioned and more patient and finally prove to fans why I’m America’s next great heavyweight.

Sour turned professional in 2016 and has won 11 на първата си 12 професионални двубои. The 36-year-old is coming off a career-best win over previously undefeated Tomas Salek for the regional Czech heavyweight title. The 6-foot-5 Sour has fought all but one of his professional bouts in his native Czech Republic and will make his U.S. debut against Franklin. He was an accomplished amateur overseas and racked up an 80-43-2 record while representing the Czech national team from 2008 към 2015. The lone blemish on Sour’s record is a 2017 loss to highly regarded unbeaten heavyweight Filip Hrgovic.

I have the technique, speed and power to beat Jermaine Franklin,” said Sour. “I am in great shape, I’m training hard and I’m very confident heading into this fight. Franklin is underestimating me because of my age, but I’m going to show him he’s wrong and have my hand raised when the final bell rings.

Jermaine Franklin is on a mission to show the world that he is the top new heavyweight on the scene,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita, Президент на Salita Promotions. “He will fight the big and strong Pavel Sour who is coming off a career-best win. This is a significant heavyweight fight that will add to the already historic and electric event on October 5 headlined by Claressa Shields vs. Ivana Habazin.

The 24-year-old O’Quinn (12-0-1, 8 Нокаута) stands 5-foot-6 and is rated No. 13 in the world by the WBO. Blazing-fast hands and effortless combination punching have allowed the undefeated O’Quinn to become a favorite among Motor City fight fans. O’Quinn was the No. 1-ranked amateur bantamweight in the country before turning professional in 2015. He was last seen on April 13 of this year at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, winning a dominant unanimous eight-round decision over Minnesota veteran Vicente Alfaro Martinez.
 

On October 5 you can expect nothing less than what I always do and that’s win!” said O’Quinn. “This is the biggest fight of my professional career and my first 10-round fight and I’m taking it very seriously. I will look the best I’ve looked as pro on that night and after the fight I’ll be looking for bigger names to take on in the super flyweight division.


A 29-year-old standing 5-foot-3, Ковач (13-2, 7 Нокаута) carries a reputation as a throwback and one of the most exciting Detroit fighters of the last decade. Known for his fearless aggression in the ring, Smith’s fights are alwaysmust seefare for Detroiters. Also an accomplished amateur, Smith is a former National Amateur Champion and eight-time Golden Gloves Champion. His last fight came in February of this year at the Performance Arts Center in Dearborn, Mich., where he won a unanimous six-round decision over Mexico’s Jonathan Lecona Ramos.

My opponent is solid, but he’s not on my level,” Саид Smith. “He throws a lot of punches but he slaps a lot. There is nothing he can show me that I have not already seen before. The fans can always expect an exciting fight when it comes to me. I’m going to always put it all on the line to win.

Detroit is one of the best boxing fight cities in the country and this fight is an example of that,” Саид Word. “Ja’Rico is touted as one of the best American super flyweights, while James Smith was a can’t-miss prospect when he turned professional. This fight could turn out to be the fight of the night because both guys will leave it all in the ring to win. Will it be Ja’Rico’s speed and timing, or will James Smith grind him down with his aggression and pressure? No matter who wins, this will be an unforgettable war.

Атлантик Сити (Април 13, 2019) - Клареса Шийлдс е безспорният световен шампион в средна категория. 24-годишният Флинт, мен. родният представи най-доброто представяне в кариерата си и стигна до единодушно решение заради германката Кристина Хамър в събота на SHOWTIME в може би най-значимия бокс за жени в историята. Съдиите вкараха битката 98-92 и 98-91 два пъти.


Двукратният олимпийски медалист със златен медал Shields (9-0, 2 Нокаута), който влезе в битката, държайки IBF, WBA и WBC 160-килограмови заглавия, показа пълния си арсенал от умения в доминиращото представяне и сега се присъединява към Терънс Крофорд, Джърмейн Тейлър, Бърнард Хопкинс, Александър Усик и жените в полусредна категория Сесилия Браекхус като единствените бойци, обединили всичките четири големи световни титли във всяка категория тегло.


Кристина Хамър (24-0, 11 Нокаута), който притежаваше пояса на WBO, влизащ в битката, нейният удар беше неутрализиран до голяма степен и защитата й беше експлоатирана от началото до края. Шилдс се приземи забележително 44% от нейните мощни удари и се приземи 112 общо удари в сравнение с просто 49 за Hammer. Колкото и впечатляващо да беше нейното нарушение, Защитата и движението на главата на Shields бяха безупречни, тъй като Hammer успя да се свърже само 13% от общите й удари, 11% от нейните удари и 18% от нейните мощни снимки.


Говорейки пред анализатора на Залата на славата на SHOWTIME Стив Фардхуи след историческата нощ за женския бокс, откровените и емоционални щитове не задържаха нищо.


„Аз съм най-великата жена на всички времена,- каза Шийлдс, който едва не спечели спирка по време на бараж в заключителните моменти на осмия рунд. "Направих го. Тя не спечели нито един рунд. Почти я нокаутирах. Кълна се, че се чувствам така, сякаш сънувам в момента. Благодаря на Кристина Хамър и нейния екип. Казаха, че тя е имала твърд удар и не лъжат. Нейният удар е извън веригата.


„Точно изчислявах в първия кръг и след това започнах да я разделям,- продължи тя. „Знаех, че мога да я нараня. Мислех, че я завърших в осми кръг. Мислех, че битката трябваше да бъде спряна. Тя ме държеше. Току-що си казах, Остани спокоен, Остани спокоен. Опитвах се да получа перфектния удар, за да я измъкна оттам. "


Най-голямата победа в професионалната й кариера, новокоронираният безспорен шампион на света вече е насочил поглед към друг противник.


„Бокс за жени, ние сме в огън. Нямам търпение да видя следващия супер бой. Дай ми Сесилия Брехус на 154 паунда. Това е, което искам по-нататък. Или тя, или Савана Маршал.


„Не се бих много добре или бързо,- каза сдържан Чук. „Това е бокс, всичко може да се случи. Исках тази битка. Тя победи, уважение към нея. Тя е жилава, силна жена и това е всичко, което мога да кажа.


„Тя е бърза, тя излиза напред. Тя има бързи ръце. Не можах да приземя удара си толкова добре, колкото очаквах. Ще се върна и ще се върна по-силен. "


“Мисля, че тази вечер битката ще влезе в книгите по история като епична битка с подобни на Али-Фрейзър, Леонард-Хърнс и Де Ла Хоя-Тринидад,” каза Дмитрий Salita, Президент на Salita Promotions.“С това доминиращо и завладяващо представяне, за да стане коронован безспорен шампион в средна категория, заедно със списъка й с рекордни постижения, Клареса Шийлдс е на път да бъде почитана като Мохамед Али, Sugar Ray Robinson, Серена Уилямс, Майкъл Джордан, Пеле и други в горната част на играта си.”


В съвместно черта схватката, Джърмейн Франклин (18-0, 13 Нокаута), широко разглеждана като най-добрата американска перспектива в тежка категория, запази непокътнатия си рекорд непокътнат с 10-рунд единодушно решение за бившия No. 1-класира САЩ. аматьор Rydell Booker (25-2, 12 Нокаута). Съдиите вкараха битката 99-91 и 98-91 два пъти.


25-годишният Франклин диктуваше темпото през цялото време и беше далеч по-активен и агресивен от своя 38-годишен колега. Букър имаше своите моменти, особено в ранните рундове, когато той хвърли няколко изстрела, но младежът Франклин се отдръпна през втората половина на битката, когато Букър се умори и Франклин се насочи към тялото. Франклин средно 54 удари на рунд към Booker’s 35 и поведе 146-94 в общия брой удари.


„Мисля, че имах прилично представяне,- каза Сагино, мен. роден. „Има някои неща, върху които мога да работя. Малко се пренаселих и бях малко прекалено тревожен. Той имаше много повече опит от мен и го използва в своя полза. Той виждаше какво правя.


„Научих се да бъда по-търпелив, защото няколко пъти го наранявах, но веднъж се разтревожих, целият ми план за игра излезе през прозореца. Започнах да бъркам и да правя луди грешки, които не би трябвало да имам. Сега се върна към чертожната дъска, за да работя върху грешките ми и следващия път да изляза по-голям и по-лош.


„Чувствах, че той ме изтласка, но беше много по-близо от това как съдиите го вкараха,- каза Букър. „Липсваше ми много повече, отколкото изглеждаше. Направих много изстрели и го ударих чисто.


„Знаех, че той ще окаже натиск, но той се нуждае от много работа. Той остава прекалено центриран с глава. Той е добре. Това, което има на своя страна, е младостта. Бих оценил представянето си около седем. Имах контузия в тренировъчния лагер, с която се справях. Ще остана активен и ще се върна по-силен от всякога. "


В телевизията отварачка, непобеден топ-5 в класирането в тежка категория Ото Уолин (20-0, 13 Нокаута, 1 ND) и Ник Киснер от Балтимор (21-4-1, 6 Нокаута, 1 ND) срещнаха 10-рундовия си двубой, когато двамата тежки тежести се сблъскаха в началния рунд. Уолин получи рана отстрани на главата си, докато Киснер получи порез на дясното си око, пречи на способността му да вижда. По съвет на лекаря на ринга между първия и втория кръг, реферът Ърл Браун спря битката, в резултат на което няма решение.


По време на спирането, Уолин поведе 14-3 в общия брой удари, 7-1 в удари и 7-2 в силови удари.


"На мен, кройката му не изглеждаше толкова зле,”, Каза разочарованият Уолин, който правеше му северноамерикански. дебют. „Жалко е, защото тренирах много усилено за тази битка и се опитвах да направя шоу за фенове в Америка. Просто нямах време да тръгна.


„Бих искал да се върна скоро там и да покажа какво мога да направя. Ще приема това като учебен опит. "


„Хванах удар с глава и съдията дойде при мен,- каза Киснер. „Той ме видя да плъзгам погледа си и каза„ виждаш ли?' Казах, ‘Щом извадя кръвта от окото си, сигурен.'


„Чувствам се ужасно, след като тренирам толкова усилено. Чувствах се добре в първия кръг. Съдиите вероятно са му дали първия кръг, но винаги свалям първия кръг. Чувствах, че в крайна сметка мога да стигна до него. Видяхте как ме приземи отдясно. "

O’Quinn Wins Again! Undefeated Detroit Bantamweight Sends Mexico’s Esquivel Through the Ropes in Second Round TKO Victory

Undefeated bantamweight prospect Ja’Rico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn continued building his reputation as one of Detroit’s most promising young fighters on Friday night with a second-round stoppage of former world-title challenger Christian “Italiano” Esquivel of Mexico.

 

 

 

Fighting at the MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit, O’Quinn (сега 10-0-1, 7 Нокаута) showed why he is so highly regarded by sending Esquivel through the ropes for a TKO victory at 2:56 на втори кръг.

 

 

 

Esquivel, a former NABF, WBC Continental Americas, WBC Youth Intercontinental, WBC FECOMBOX, and WBC Silver Bantamweight Champion, had no answer to the fast and powerful hands of O’Quinn. He falls to 30-16-1, 23 Нокаута.

 

 

 

“Christian Esquivel was a world title challenger and an experienced fighter. My goal was to make a statement,” said a happy O’Quinn, след мача. “I did what was expected of me and rose to the occasion. I’m looking forward to having another impressive win before the year’s ends and starting next year with my TV debut. I am bringing world championship glory back to the city of Detroit. It’s just a matter of time!"

 

 

 

O’Quinn’s promoter, Дмитрий Salita, said he expected a strong showing from O’Quinn and says he got even more than he hoped for from the 23-year-old.

 

 

 

“Ja’Rico is one of the most gifted prospects in all of boxing! I was very impressed with his dominating performance. He is on his way to winning a world title and joining the list of the great champions from the city of Detroit.”

Tyner and Chambliss Grudge Match Ready to Explode on October 26 в Детройт

В бокса, there are “grudge” matches manufactured to sell fights, where the hostility is mostly acting. Например, there are indications of that in the buildup to Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury’s upcoming showdown.

 

 

 

And then sometimes, two fighters really, really don’t like each other. Think Terence Crawford taking out Jose Benavidez Jr., recently.

 

 

 

In Detroit, the latter type of grudge match, a real grudge match, has heated to a boil on social media. With insults and threats going back-and-forth daily, outspoken Detroit boxing staple Lanardo “Pain Server” Tyner (34-13-2, 21 Нокаута) and upstart opponent Cortez Chambliss (4-0, 4 Нокаута) have been escalating hostilities since the day their match-up was announced.

 

 

 

The two Detroit-based welterweights will finally settle their differences in the eight-round main event on Friday, Октомври 26, at the MotorCity Casino Hotel.

 

Tickets priced between $180-$25 and are available through Ticketmaster outlets.

 

 

 

“He’s trying to bunny hop over me, but he’s not ready,” said an animated Tyner. The 43-year-old is known as a fearless and iron-jawed spoiler. A 14-year veteran, Tyner has been the 12-round distance with elite superstar Canelo Alvarez and world champions such as Lamont Peterson and Antonio DeMarco. He’s also taken out a number of prospects who found out too late they were in too deep.

 

 

 

“I can’t believe he even called me out,” continued Tyner. “He’s going to get a beating. This isn’t the amateurs and there are no shortcuts. This is not the door to come through.”

 

 

 

A heavily decorated former amateur, 21-year-old Chambliss has been flawless, досега, като професионалист. With power in both hands and above-average speed, Chambliss looks like a new face in the resurgent Motown boxing scene.

 

 

 

“This fight is personal to me,"Той каза. “Not for the same reasons as my opponent; anger and hostility have nothing to do with it. За мен, it’s all about the energy of the risk and challenge. That’s what life is about: ‘growth through challenge,’ so I’m excited for this opportunity.”

 

 

 

Събитието, entitled “Night of Knockouts XIV” is presented by Carlos Llinas, in cooperation with Dmitriy Salita.

 

 

 

“Carlos Llinas has delivered a consistent, successful series, which has served as a development ground for many notable names in the sport,“, каза Дмитрий Салита. “This match between Chambliss and Tyner is a classic crossroads fight, with a young, undefeated contender and a proven veteran. A ‘must win’ for both that I know will deliver for the fans. I am happy to be involved with the upcoming event and working together towards producing top contenders and champions in the championship city of Detroit.”

 

 

 

“This is the number one boxing and MMA series in the country that has been going on for nine years and I’m glad to be working with Salita Promotions on this event,” said Carlos Llinas. “It’s good for fighters and everyone involved when promoters can work with each other and provide a platform for fighters to reach the next level.”

 

 

 

Също така в картата, one of the most promising young fighters in Detroit’s resurgent boxing scene, undefeated bantamweight Ja’Rico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn (9-0-1, 6 Нокаута), will return to action six-round bout against former world-title challenger Christian “Italiano” Esquivel of Mexico (30-15-1, 23 Нокаута).

 

 

 

The MotorCity Casino Hotel is located at 2901 Grand River in Detroit. На Fight Night, отворени врати в 6:30 pm and the first bout begins at 7 ч. All guests must be at least 21 years of age with valid photo ID.

O’Quinn Continues Climb Against Former World-Title Challenger Christian Esquivel on October 26 в Детройт

В петък, Октомври 26, at the MotorCity Casino Hotel, one of the most promising young fighters in Detroit’s resurgent boxing scene, undefeated bantamweight Ja’Rico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn (9-0-1, 6 Нокаута), will return to action six-round bout against former world-title challenger Christian “Italiano” Esquivel of Mexico (30-15-1, 23 Нокаута).

 

 

 

O’Quinn, who was last seen taking out veteran Yaqub Kareem in four rounds last June in Detroit, enjoys immense popularity in his native Motown. Като аматьор, he won the USA National Championship at bantamweight and the 2013 USA Boxing Youth National Championships.

 

 

 

Against Esquivel, обаче, he will be in tough. The Mexican veteran is a 12-year professional and a former NABF, WBC Continental Americas, WBC Youth Intercontinental, WBC FECOMBOX, and WBC Silver Bantamweight Champion.

 

 

 

“I’m happy to be fighting in Detroit in front of my hometown fans!” said an excited O’Quinn. “I look forward to scoring another impressive victory and putting Detroit on the map as one of the best fight cities in the world.”

 

 

 

O’Quinn’s promoter, Дмитрий Salita, says he’s expecting a lot from his 23-year-old prospect in this fight.

 

 

 

“Ja’Rico O’Quinn is one of the most accomplished US-born professional prospects in boxing right now. His undefeated professional record and numerous national amateur championships speak for themselves. He is taking on another stern test in a very experienced fighter in front of his hometown fans and I am sure it will be another spectacular performance.”
