MIAMI, Okla. (Sete. 24, 2016) – On a night when undefeated heavyweight Trey Lippe Morrison won his television debut and Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk e Ivan "O Volk" Golub permaneceu invicto, medio-pesados Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic regained his winning ways by registering a fifth-round knockout over previously unbeaten Travis Peterkin no evento principal dun ShoBox: A Nova Xeración quadrupleheader vivir ALTURA DE COMEZAR Venres a partir de Buffalo Run Casino en Miami, Okla.

 

Facendo súa ShoBox debut and first start since suffering his lone defeat on a disputed decision to Marcus Browne, a motivated Kalajdzic (22-1, 15 Kos) de St. Petersburg, Fla., dropped Peterkin (16-1-1, 7 Kos), of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, N.I., two times in the fifth before the fight was stopped at 1:32.

 

Other televised results: Baranchyk (12-0, 10 Kos), de Brooklyn, N.I., took a 10-round unanimous decision over Wang Zhimin (7-1, 3 Kos, 7-1 WSB), of Nutley, N.J. by way of Ningbo, China, no ShoBox co-metragem; immensely popular local favorite and son of the late former world heavyweight champion, Tommy "The Duke" Morrison, peso-pesado Trey Lippe Morrison (12-0, 12 Kos) demolished previously unbeaten Ed Latimore (13-1, 7 Kos), de Pittsburgh, Pa., Marcar 2:19, first-round TKO; and Ukrainian welterweight Golub (13-0, 11 Kos, 5-0 WSB), de Brooklyn, registered a third-round knockout over James Stevenson(23-3, 16 Kos), de Baltimore, Md.

 

Kalajdzic overwhelmed Peterkin with consistent aggression, superior fighting spirit and better power. El desembarcou 45 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía, Incluíndo 60 percent in the final round. Máis, he led 37-7 in body connects.

 

“The one-dimensional nature of Travis Peterkin cost him big time because he had no answer for Hot Rod’s right hand, and when he threw his own power shots they were ineffective,'' ShoBox analista experto Steve Farhood said afterward. “He was exposed esta noite, and Kalajdzic rejuvenated his career after the loss with Marcus Browne.”

 

A 6-foot-2 native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kalajdzic dropped Peterkin the first time with a right-left combination and finished him with a right-left-right combination. Peterkin fell heavily in a neutral corner, prompting the referee to stop it.

 

“He was a little bit awkward so it took me a little bit to find my range but once I did and I got into a rhythm, I knew he wasn’t going to last,’’ Kalajdzic said. “We have been working on staying patient and finding that range and it showed esta noite.

 

“I wanted to make a statement in this fight and I did. I want the biggest names in the light heavyweight division, but before that I want Marcus Browne again. That is unfinished business for me. If he really thinks he won the fight then let’s do it again. We could fight next week. I’m ready.’’

 

Baranchyk, despite getting cut for the first time in his career (over his left eye in the fifth), gañou polos correas de 100-90 dúas veces e 99-91. Non houbo derrubamentos.

 

The rounds, particularly in the fight’s second half, were competitive. Both fighters landed a high percentage of power shots, 44 percent for Baranchyk, 41 percent for Zhimin, but the difference was that Baranchyk was busier, crisper and physically stronger.

 

Going more than four rounds for the first time, he answered questions about his late-round stamina and feels he is now ready to step up again.

“The 140-pound division is loaded with talent,’’ Baranchyk said. “There are tons of fighters I would love to fight, but there are two guys in particular I’d like to fight next: Maurice Hooker and Abel Ramos. Hooker is with Roc Nation and is above me in the ratings. He’s undefeated and this would be a great fight to prove I’m one of the best up-and-coming guys in this division. I’d love Ramos to fight Ramos too. We are both promoted by DBE and I have heard he called me out. He’s a come forward guy and those are the type of fights I like and that make for great TV.

“I love the fans here in Miami and I love fighting on ShoBox. This was my first time going 10 rounds and I feel great. Of course I would have liked to get the knockout because I always want to put on a spectacular show, but this was a great learning experience for me. He was an extremely tough opponent and I was surprised he was able to take so many big shots. We have been working on being patient and boxing and I was able to show that esta noite.''

 

Wang, who gave his best and never allowed Baranchyk to relax, dito, “I felt a little tight and I couldn’t get my punches off like I wanted to. He was a little too big for me.’’

 

In a performance that lit up the arena, Lippe Morrison dropped Latimore two times and was on the verge of knocking him down again when the referee stepped in and halted matters at 2:19. Morrison decked Latimore the first time with a right hand midway through the first. Momentos despois, Latimore went down again from two rights and a left hook. After a series of shots, the referee stopped it.

 

“You know I have to watch the fight, but I think I did alright,’’ said Morrison after what was supposed to be the most dangerous assignment of his career. “I know I have to be patient and work behind my jab and just take the opening that I see – patiently. Being patient is something I’ve really been working on. I really felt my patience this time.

 

“I didn’t expect it to end this quick. I knew it might, but I didn’t plan on it. It felt good to drop a guy with my left hand. I never had the accuracy or quickness with the left that I do know. I now feel that I am equally adept with both hands. My left is like my right.

 

“To win a fight like this is definitely a relief. I was nervous about the fight, but not about fighting on TV. This was supposed to be my toughest fight on paper and I think I did well.

 

“I feel I may have opened some eyes, but that’s in large part to Freddie Roach. I feel I’m improving thanks to Freddie. I’m throwing quicker, snappier punches and the coordination between my footwork with my hands is way better. All that is because of Freddie.

 

“I wasn’t going for the KO but I’m glad it happened. I could not have done it without Freddie, iso é certo. I’ll be going back to California in a week and then right to the gym.”

 

The knockout was Lippe Morrison’s ninth in the first round. He also has two second-round knockouts and one fourth-round KO in a career that began in February 2014.

 

“We want to see more of Trey Lippe Morrison,'' Farhood dixo. “Let’s let Freddie Roach to do a little bit more of work with him. He had a tremendous pressure on him esta noite, but he did fantastically and he responded very well. He made a big step up in class esta noite and couldn’t have produced a better result: a first-round knockout.”

 

After a competitive, fast-paced first round, Golub took over as Stevenson appeared to tire. A picturesque right hook to the chin dropped and staggered Stevenson, who still wobbly, got up by the count of five, but Golub continued his two-fisted assault, delivered over 20 unanswered punches and the referee stopped it.

 

“To me the guy that stole the show was Golub,", Dixo Farhood. “We keep thinking of him as a boxer but he showed tremendous power esta noite. He knocked out a very sturdy opponent in Stevenson and Baranchyk will benefit tremendously by going 10 rounds. He showed a lot by throwing as many punches as he did late in the fight against an opponent who simply wouldn’t be hurt.’’

 

“I could see from the first round that he was leaving himself wide open when he was coming in,’’ said Golub after his second ShoBox comezo. “I knew it was only a matter of time until I caught him with something really big and I would get him out of there. I’m happy with the performance but know I still have a lot to improve on. Our game plan was to be patient and box and let him come to us. I’m looking forward to getting back in there soon and continuing to climb the ranks of the welterweight division.’’

Below is what the fighters had to say prior to Xoves pesaxe:

 

Radivoje Kalajdzic

“This is my second 10-round fight and it is against another unbeaten southpaw from New York. I’m looking forward to this fight and I’m anxious to look ahead.

 

“I was very upset after my last fight [a controversial decision loss to unbeaten Marcus Browne]. I wasn’t really mad necessarily at myself or my team; it was mostly the referee. Logo, afterward when I saw the reaction from the fans, who totally booed the decision, even took their Marcus Browne T-shirts off, I didn’t feel so badly.

 

"O Venres I want to come in and look great and hopefully stop this guy. I want to look better and cleaner than I did against Browne. I fought OK against Browne, but I should have used my jab more and not allowed him to grab and hold me so much.

 

“I was looking too much to land my right. I know I need to do better at setting it up by jabbing first. And by punching in bunches.

“A big win Venres won’t remove the overall sting of my last fight; nothing can erase the result. But since Browne doesn’t want to give me a rematch, I’m not going to just chase him. I have to move ahead.

 

“Against Peterkin, I want to keep it simple – jab, move and use the right hand. I need to keep him on the end of my punches. It looks like he comes at you but I’m going to come at him, moi, in a smart way. I want to try and get inside, smother him. I never got that chance against Browne because of all the holding.

 

“Peterkin is undefeated, durable and coming to win. I expect a very tough fight. But everything is going according to plan. I had about sixth months of preparation. The errors I made in my last fight have been fixed. They won’t happen again. I have an opportunity in this fight to erase all the bitter memories of my last fight.’’

 

TRAVIS Peterkin

“Making 175 pounds is OK. I can make the weight with no problem. So weight is no issue. If there was a weight class at 185, I’d probably be in it, pero 175 is fine. Estou preparado.

 

“I watched ‘Hot Rod’ closely against Browne. It was definitely a good fight. I feel Marcus could have won easily if he’d have finished the job in some of the rounds. If he stays outside he wins easily, but he wanted to make a point by going inside.

 

“Now ‘Hot Rod’ gets me, and this is a tremendous opportunity for me. He’s a good fighter and should have a zero there on his losses. He has power and is a decent counter-puncher. But we’ve prepared for him. Estamos chegando a gañar, box or brawl. This has been one of my best camps in a long time. I’m confident of a win.

 

“The key is controlling what goes on in the ring, be smart and listen to my corner. I feel this is definitely the toughest fight for me, and for him, moi.

 

“’I’m looking forward to the fight and the opportunity to make a name for myself at 175. It’s been a long journey, but if I can be myself and do what I came here to do, I’ll be fine.’’

 

Oy BARANCHYK

“This is like a second home for me, fighting in Miami. I like the people. They seem to like me. Venres should be an exciting night for everybody.

 

“My last two fights have ended quickly but I always train and plan to go 10 rounds. I never try for one-round knockouts. I look forward to the time when I can show off a little more of my boxing and overall skills. I do have patience.

 

“I think my opponent is very good and has a lot of experience. He’s better than the last two fighters I fought. I feel this fight could go some rounds. But I have power, so we’ll see.

 

“I work very hard in the gym. I spar 10 rounds every day. I got to spar a few rounds with Danny Garcia for this fight. Training with a world champion like him was a tremendous learning experience and it helped me a lot. I hope some of it shows o venres.''

 

WANG ZHIMIN

“I want to thank everyone for this chance to fight. I’m prepared for everything. My opponent is a very experienced boxer with a good reputation. This is definitely a step up and my biggest fight.

 

“I can promise you one thing: We’ll put on an exciting show for you.

 

“My goal is to ultimately be fighting for a world title. It takes a lot of time, patience and work inside the gym.

 

“I’m known for my aggressiveness but I’m constantly working on boxing more. I feel I’ve improved a lot since I was an amateur.

 

“So I’m ready for this fight. He may be a big puncher but I don’t look at his numbers. This is a solid matchup, a crossroads fight and a good opportunity for both of us.’’

 

TREY LIPPE MORRISON

“This is a real, significant step up for me but I have to approach it like I always do.

 

“Moving to Hollywood [Calif.] was a big change for me, but it meant I could train with Freddie Roach. He boosted my confidence just by the fact he agreed to take me on. So he must have seen something.

 

“There are so many things we work on: anel generalato, footwork, things to look for, stuff to avoid.

 

“This is a tough fight for both of us, a dangerous test. Latimore is definitely my toughest opponent so far.

 

“I know a lot of people are interested in watching me and seeing how I do because of my dad. But as I go on, they’ll see I’m my own person.

 

“Fighting here again at the Buffalo Run is always exciting but a ring is a ring; there is no home field advantage. I certainly appreciate the fans’ support but I can’t think about it.

 

“One of these days I’ll fight someone who can take my shots. It might be Latimore, but if it happens, I’ll be ready for it. As for me taking a shot, I’ve been rocked in sparring but not in a live fight.

 

“Hurting my right hand in my last fight was a real blessing. I knew I always had power in it but now I have speed and accuracy to go along with it. My hand hasn’t given me any problems at all in training. So I don’t think about it. If I hurt it again, I’ll just deal with it and fight on.’’

Freddie Roach, Morrison’s Trainer

“I was supposed to be in the Philippines, but I’m very close with Manny Pacquiao and I told him, ‘Listen, Manny, I’m going to be a week late because I have a big fight with Trey coming up,’ and he said, ‘I’ll see you in a week. Get the win.’

“We are a 100 por cento listo. We have great sparring partners. We’ve done great work and I know he’s coming from a broken hand and he hasn’t fought in a while, but his strengthening and conditioning is going really well. This is going to be a great fight and I expect him to be at his best. [Looking at Ed Latimore] You are going to feel his power.

“Trey has very good power and breaking his hand helped him. We got to develop both hands and now he has knockout power in both hands.

“Ed Latimore is a very difficult opponent, but I think Trey will beat him.’

ED LATIMORE

“My whole goal is to be totally calm, relaxed and in control. It’s not a physical or mental thing.

 

“I feel I’ve come a long way and I’m improving all the time. There were times when I was overthinking in the ring, but no more. I work on technique each and every day; my work ethic is impeccable.

 

“I’ve become such a better student of boxing. When I first started watching, I thought it was boring. Then I learned how to watch, and began to notice the subtle things going on. I now know what I’m looking at when I watch films and I see things totally different than I did before. Now I know what to do with what I learn.

 

“I may be small for a heavyweight but I’m never going to be one of those big guys so I do not put a lot of emphasis on size. If you can fight, you can fight. I work on developing skills. Punching power comes from technique and repetition, not always from size.

 

“I’m looking forward to a good fight. I have to stay composed. Morrison likes to come right out at you but I’m not planning to just let him come at me like he did his other opponents. I have something I plan to do that will give him something to think about.

 

“Fighting him is huge for me. His name means a lot. He’s the toughest guy I’ve fought. But I don’t think about my emotions and fighting in his hometown. We knew what we were getting into and there’s nothing we can do about it. There are things that are beyond your control.

 

“I’m still in school, majoring in physics, but I took a semester off. Logo, this opportunity came along. No way I could do both right now. I enjoy how far I’ve come in boxing. I think the hard work is paying off.

 

“I’m confident I’ll win Venres. It’s going to be a great.’’

IVAN Golub

“I’ve been working mainly on my inside game and setting down on my punches lately. I know Stevenson is a good boxer, a slick guy who knows what do to. I have to try and stay patient, work the jab, work the body and put on pressure.

 

“In the amateurs it was more about points. Winning was OK with points but in the U.S. you need more than that.

 

“My mindset going into every fight is on going the distance. I’m looking forward to fighting Stevenson. Besides his boxing ability, he takes a good shot.

 

“This will be a real test for me, my toughest test. I’m a natural 160 but can make welterweight easily. It’s been a good camp for me.’’

 

JAMES STEVENSON

“I think my opponent is probably taking me lightly. But he’s going to see a different me. I’m looking at this as a must-win, can-win fight. The birth of my daughter recently totally woke me up. It made me realize it was time to straighten up, stop running the streets and totally focus on my job. I have to take care of her. The added responsibility made me change my ways.

 

“So this training camp has been totally different than any I’ve had before. I’m really prepared. I didn’t come here to run, Estou benvida para gañar. I’m certainly not here to be anyone’s opponent.

 

“It’s been crazy in my hometown. The whole city of Baltimore is behind me, and that is very exciting. Venresis the most important fight ever for me and I am looking forward to it.

 

“I’m confident I can be the first to defeat Golub.’’

GORDON HALL, Senior Vice President of Production, Showtime Sports & Productor executivo,ShoBox: A Nova Xeración

"Mañá night we have eight fighters with a total combined record of 114-3-1. We have undefeated fighters facing each other. Tiñamos 151 fighters fight on ShoBox, and lose that 0. Mañá noite, on the second matchup of the night, we have two undefeated heavyweights. Trey Lippe Morrison’s father may have been Tommy, but we are not here because he’s Tommy’s son. We are here because we believe that Trey Lippe Morrison can fight and he’s taking a big step up in taking on Ed Latimore. It’s a big fight for both fighters and I credit them for taking the matchup.

 

“Ivan Golub had 300 loitas afeccionadas. É un loitador consumado, we had him once before on ShoBox and he’s taking on James Stevenson, a veteran fighter, who’s not coming here to lose.

 

“Ivan Baranchyk, the adopted son of Buffalo Run Casino here in Miami. He’s one of the fighters you want to pay to see. He’s all action. His skill level is A-plus and Wang Zhimin knows that and he’s not afraid.

 

“The main event, Rod Kalajdzic vs. Travis Peterkin is the one to watch out for. Kalajdzic loss on his record against Marcus Browne is debatable to those who saw the fight. Travis Peterkin is undefeated, so for me this is a fight of two undefeated fighters in the light heavyweight division, which has Adonis Stevenson, Andre Ward, Sergey Kovalev. It’s a hot division and looking for new blood and hopefully we’ll see it heremañá noite. "

Nova York (Sete. 21, 2016) - Trey Lippe Morrison é 11-0 con 11 nocautes. He is the son of the late former world heavyweight championTommy "The Duke" Morrison. A Grove, Okla., nativo, Trey resides in Hollywood, Calif., and is trained by Freddie Roach no ximnasio de Wild Card.

 

Este Venres, Sete. 23, Morrison makes his eagerly awaited television debut when he faces fellow unbeaten and Roc Nation prospect Ed Latimore (13-0, 7 Kos), de Pittsburgh, Pa., in the second bout of a ShoBox: A Nova Xeración quadrupleheader vivir ALTURA DE COMEZAR (10 p.m. E/PT, atrasado na Costa Oeste) a partir de Buffalo Run Casino en Miami, Okla.

 

Morrison, que transforma 27 en Sete. 27, has recorded eight first-round knockouts, two second-round knockouts and one fourth-round KO in a career that began in February 2014. He bears a striking resemblance to his late father facially, physique-wise and with his fighting style, wears red, white and blue trunks with “TOMMY” written across the belt. He has fought all but one of his fights in Oklahoma; this is his 10th start at Buffalo Run.

 

A popular member of Holden’s Four State Franchise stable, the 6-foot-2 Morrison is fighting for the first time since he underwent surgery on his right tendon from an injury suffered in his most recent bout, a fourth-round TKO over Thomas Hawkins último Xan. 23.

 

Below is what Morrison and Roach said about Trey’s fight against LatimoreVenres, his up-and-coming career, life outside the ring, remembrances of his father, working with Freddie and more:

“I’m going to approach this fight against Latimore just the same way I approached my first 11 loitas,’’ said Morrison ahead of the scheduled six-round bout. “I’ve gained a lot of confidence and a lot of new skills, and I’m just honored to be able to showcase them. Being on SHOWTIME is just a huge bonus.”

 

Morrison’s thoughts on Ed Latimore …

“I’ve watched a little bit of video. He’s really similar to me. The way he bobs his head all the time and is a real aggressive fighter and always comes forward. It’s almost like I’m fighting a clone of myself. He kind of has that Mike Tyson style, and that’s what I expect to see. If he doesn’t come at me that way, then I’ll have to have a game plan for something else.”

 

Is Latimore your toughest fight to date?

“Oh, si. Sure. 100 por cento. His record says it all [13-0, 7 Kos]. He’s athletic. From just what I’ve seen of his past fights, he would be the toughest guy I’ve fought so far.”

 

On the injury suffered in his last fight …

“I feel like it is 100 percent healed. It was kind of a freak accident. I threw an uppercut and it hit him in the hard part of his head. Since I’ve been able to put my glove on it, it hasn’t been a problem.”

 

What are the keys to this fight?

“I think you always find the keys within the first couple rounds of the fight. That’s when you figure someone out. I figure I’m just going to be patient, and wait for my shot and when it comes, take it.”

 

Tommy was known as a left-hooker, you’re known for a strong right hand? Did you work more on your left when you were sidelined?

 

“Oh, si. Tremendously. I would say me being hurt was a blessing. I think it helped me more than it hurt me. I was really able to develop and sharpen my left hand. So right now I feel like my left hand is just as lethal as my right. I’m confident I can now do everything with my left that I can with my right. I was more of a right-handed fighter before because my left hand wasn’t as developed yet. My timing and my speed wasn’t quite there with my left before, but now I’m good with both.”

 

On working with Freddie Roach…

“I’ve been working with Freddie for about a year now. I’m living in West Hollywood; right smack dab in the middle of all the craziness. But I stay away from all of it. I’m more of a hermit. If I’m not training, I’m at home. I really don’t go out much. I really just like being alone at times and being at my place. I don’t have many hobbies. I would say I’m a nerd. I like to play video games with my friends online.”

 

How did you end up with Freddie?

“I originally moved out here to train with Jesse Reid. He decided he wanted to make a move to Las Vegas, and that just wasn’t a move my promoter, Tony Holden, and I were going to make. Since I was already here, Tony had a lunch with Freddie who agreed to look at me. So I had a private session with him and after that he said he’d be willing to work with me.”

 

How much have you learned under Freddie’s watchful eye? …

“I’ve learned so muchprobably everything. And anything I was good at before, he’s sharpened it. I’d probably give him full credit for everything. The guys I’ve sparred with have also taught me a lot. It’s really helped me in every way possible.”

 

Did you play sports in high school?

“I played football, basketball and track. I played tight end and defensive end in football and I ran the hurdles and threw the shot and disc. I played four years of college football at the University of Central Arkansas. I played defensive end there. I had a couple of pro teams looking at me, but I screwed up my senior year and ended getting kicked off the team. I made some bad decisions, just being a dumb college kid, and that led to it. When boxing came up, it was like a second chance for me.

 

“I wasn’t ready for my athletic career to be over. Football ended for me because I made bad decisions. I needed to be told that I wasn’t good enough for me to move on and go out and get a regular job. Around the same time that happened, my dad passed away. My mom told me that Tony Holden had a casino in the next town from where I went to high school. I had never met him before but we went out and had a great time talking about my dad. So I popped the question to him and asked if he’d help me get into boxing. He said absolutely not. I told him I was going to give it a shot because I wasn’t able to give up athletics. He called me back three days later."

 

Do you feel pressure being the son of Tommy Morrison? …

"Si. I think there’s a lot of pressure on me to do well, and I think that really weighed on me the first couple of fights. That’s always going to be there. No matter who I fight, or how good I do, they are always going to compare me to my dad. I just have to deal with it. There definitely is pressure, but I can deal with it better now.

 

“When I first started, people were comparing my first fight ever with how my dad ended his career…to his best fight. So obviously I wasn’t going to match up that way. I knew that I’d get better and that one day I’d get there.”

 

How would you describe your relationship with your father?

“I’d say our relationship was awesome. We were great friends. Vostede sabe, our time got cut short, and we didn’t get to spend a lot of time together. But the time we did have was amazing. And we really cherished it.”

 

Would you think your dad would be proud of you today, following in his footsteps?

“I think he would be proud of me. I wish he was here because the things he would say would help me a lot. I really do think he’d be proud.”

 

How much has your promoter Tony Holden meant to you?

 

“I wouldn’t be where I’m at without him. I can’t even put it into words. Honesta, if I would have started boxing without him, no one would know who I was. Everything I have in boxing, is because of him. I met him in October of 2013, two or three months before I got into boxing.”

 

 

Freddie Roach, a seven-time Boxing Writers Association of America Trainer of the Year and 2012 inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, will be in Morrison’s corner Venres en Miami. He said Trey is dedicated, a joy to work with and has continued to improve. But he remains a work in progress.

 

“Trey’s a very nice person, a simple guy, real polite like most boxers.’’.

 

“He inherited his father’s punch. He’s a big puncher. He’s learned how to box and is getting better every day. He tries hard. I like the way he’s progressing. He holds his own with some of the veteran guys here at the gym and is doing very well.

 

“Once he learns to box a little more, he’s going to make a lot more noise in the division. My thoughts on the heavyweights right now is that it is not all that strong of a division. [Anthony] Joshua may be the best, and there are a couple other big names. But I think the division is mostly wide open for guys who have heart and balls and are ready to take it the distance. Trey’s that kind of kid.’’

 

It was Roach who wanted this fight. “His manager asked me if he was ready and I said he was 100 por cento listo. Latimore is his toughest fight, but it’s time to step up.’’

Esperanza, Peterkin comes to fight and not hug like my last opponent did so we can give the fans a good fight.”

Peterkin (16-0-1, 7 Kos) would still have an unblemished record if not for losing two points in an eight-round majority draw with 2008 Dominicana Olympian Lenin Castelo (12-0) en agosto. 1, 2015 no Barclays Centro. Peterkin had a point deducted in the fourth for hitting after the break and in the fifth for a low blow. Os correas foron 76-74 e 75-75 dúas veces.

Todo 10 of the 5-foot-7, 23-year-old Baranchyk’s knockouts have come inside three full rounds, incluíndo seis no primeiro. He’s fought 22 rounds in an 11-fight career. The only time he went the distance was in his third fight, a four-rounder in December 2014. Baranchyk, a former European amateur standout, turned pro in June ‘14 and relocated to the United States a few months later.

“I couldn’t be more excited about returning to ShoBox,dixo Baranchyk. “Zhimin is a very skilled fighter and he will be my toughest opponent yet. Con todo, I intend on ending this bout in devastating fashion. I guarantee you will see Zhimin on his back when the fight is over. I am looking to send a message to the rest of the junior welterweight division that I am someone to be feared.”

Zhimin, 30, turned pro in November 2010 and fought eight times in the WSB through 2011. After a three-year layoff, he relocated to the U.S. and has gone 7-0. He’s coming off an eight-round decision over Matthew Doherty último Xuño 11.

En 2012, gañou outra medalla de prata, esta vez no Erdos Competición Internacional de Boxeo.

“It’s an honor for me to be a part of this great event,” said Zhimin. “I want to thank the promoters, my team and everyone who gave me this opportunity. My goal is to get that belt. I know it’s a process full of challenges, but I am not afraid of what lies ahead. I know that I will make it. I have faith in myself. I will do whatever I can to prepare myself for this title showdown and give the fans my best performance and bring home the belt.”

Golub, a 27-year-old who, at 6-feet, is tall for a welterweight, turned pro as a middleweight in November 2012. At the outset of his career, el foi 5-0 in the WSB. He’s gone 12-0 desde, gañador 10 por nocaute, including his last six in a row, the last three as a welterweight.

Na súa ShoBox estrea, he touched the canvas for the first time in his career, but bounced back to blast out Marlon Aguas with a series of combinations in the closing seconds of the sixth. He won by TKO.

Golub, a southpaw who’s coming off a second-round TKO over Ernesto Ortiz último Xullo 21, was an outstanding amateur. Foi 270-32 como afeccionado, was a five-time national champion in Ukraine and won bronze at the 2009 World Amateur Championships.

“Stevenson has a lot of experience and I am preparing for a very tough fight,” said Golub. “He is a guy that likes to sit on his punches and trade, which is exactly what I want. Once he feels my power, he is going to be in trouble. This will be an exciting fight for as long as it lasts.”

Stevenson is making his ShoBox estrea. Profesional desde 2008, he won his first 21 scraps until losing by ninth-round TKO to then-undefeated Sammy Vasquez en agosto. 8, 2014. The fight was competitive for five rounds before Vasquez took over. Stevenson went down in the ninth.

O 5 pés-11, 33-year-old Stevenson has won two-of-three since, incluíndo un TKO quinta redonda sobre Kevin Womack último Maio 14 in his first fight en 13 meses. A hard-hitting boxer-puncher, Stevenson has feasted on modest opposition and is still seeking a signature victory.

Stevenson has produced a respectable record in spite of his career getting sidetracked by a series of setbacks and tragedies. En 2011, during a routine jog, a dog viciously attacked him, requiring Stevenson to get more than 20 stitches. Pouco tempo despois, his father James Stevenson Sr. passed away, as did his mother-in-law.

“I appreciate the opportunity,” said Stevenson. “But they made a big mistake giving me the time to get ready for this fight. I’m training real hard and I’m coming to make a statement. I’m not scared of Golub and I promise it won’t go the distance. I’m putting him to sleep.”

Morrison has registered eight first-round knockouts, two second-round knockouts and one fourth-round KO in a career that began in February 2014. Morrison, who bears a striking resemblance to his late father facially, physique-wise and with his fighting style, turns 27 enSete. 27. He’s fought all but one of his fights in Oklahoma; this is his 10th start at Buffalo Run.

A popular member of Holden’s Four State Franchise stable, the 6-foot-2 Morrison is fighting for the first time since he underwent surgery on his right tendon from an injury suffered in his most recent bout, a fourth-round TKO over Thomas Hawkins último Xan. 23.

“I have worked so hard to get to this point and now this is my chance to show the world who I am. I want to thank SHOWTIME for the opportunity,” said Morrison. “Latimore is a huge step up in class for me, but I am ready for it. Once I hear those Oklahoma fans and feel the energy inside the arena, I flip a switch and it’s go-time. This is going to be my coming-out party.”

Latimore, who majored in physics in college, is a boxer-puncher expected to give Morrison his toughest test. Latimore is making his ShoBox debut and fourth start this year. He’s coming off an eight-round split decision over Juan Goode último Xullo 15.

A 6-foot-1, 31-year-old Latimore turned pro in January 2013. Como afeccionado, he won the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves, National PAL and Ringside Championships, and was victorious over 2012 Olímpico Dominic Breazeale and former IBF Heavyweight Champion Charles Martin.

“Morrison will be a real test for me,” said Latimore. “It’s never easy to fight someone in their backyard. I just fought in my hometown of Pittsburgh so I know the feeling coming into it and the momentum on fight night. I am looking forward to putting on a good show for all the fans in Oklahoma and those watching on ShoBox."

Xa me dixeron que ten cintas VHS dalgunhas das miñas loitas dalgunhas cartas que gravadas na TV cando era un neno (risonho). Thankfully, Teño vídeo del máis recentemente en Youtube. Non é nada que eu non teña visto antes nunha pelexa ou sparring. Eu vou estar preparado.”

COMUNICADO DE PRENSA
Para Divulgación inmediata

Invicto peso pesado cubano

Robert Alfonso tamén impresiona

(L-R) Adestrador Orlando Cuellar e Randall “KO Rei” Bailey conmemorar tras a vitoria do sábado pasado

MIAMI (Xuño 25, 2015) – Saíndo de 19 meses de inactividade e facendo o seu debut Middleweight Júnior último fin de semana, Randall “KO Rei” Recollerán (45-8, 38 Kos) aviso servido que está facendo un traballo serio en máis dun título mundial nunha categoría de peso diferente.

 

Tres veces, dous división campión mundial Bailey parou veterano Gundrick “Sho-Gun” Rei (18-15, 11 Kos) no segundo round cun gancho de esquerda, non o seu dereito notorio, no evento principal en Riverdale Centro de Artes en Riverdale, Georgia.

 

“Na primeira rolda,” a 40-year-old Bailey explicou, “Eu só quería ter a sensación no arena e comezar a utilizar o meu jab. Eu bati nel cun par de boas mans certas, pero eu sabía que era experto e que estaba mirando para o meu dereito. Saín no segundo usando o meu jab e gancho de esquerda, realmente empezando a sentir iso de novo. Eu esmagou co meu gancho de esquerda. I’ve been telling people I have more than my right but they haven’t listened. I did have a little rust in the first round but, no segundo, Eu tiña o meu jab de traballo, apoiou-se con el, e comezou a poñer os meus golpes xuntos.

 

“Loitando en 154 foi, ben, só outra loita. Eu non me sinto máis forte, aínda. Agora? Eu só quero estar ocupado. Non importa quen eu vou loitar, Eu non estou preocupado con calquera persoa en 154, pero eu realmente non teño tempo suficiente para dar pasos de bebé. Quero obter de volta no arena. É hora de ir a O Rei!”

 

“Sho-Gun” Rei pode non estar na parte superior da escaleira, pero Middleweight Júnior, el é un probado batalha-, adversario experimentado, especialmente como un adversario para un loitador vén dun ano layoff 1-½ como Bailey. Bailey certamente demostrou abondo contra o rei para o seu adestrador cabeza, Orlando Cuellar, de estar impresionado.

 

“Esta foi a nosa primeira loita traballar xuntos, pero eu vin loita Randall por anos,” Cuellar dixo. “Traballamos en enmascarar a súa gran man dereita por estar ocupado coa man esquerda, sentando-se sobre o seu jab, non se inclúan no, e ligando fóra do seu jab. Fíxoo no campo de adestramento, pero pelexar e pelexar son diferentes. El tocou seu adversario co seu jab na primeira rolda como eu instruído. Quería todo para vir fóra do seu jab e para el para xogar dereitos sobre o corpo, sempre xogando o primeiro eo último zócolo. Na segunda rolda, el efectivamente usou o seu gancho de esquerda a cabeza eo corpo.

 

“Randall Bailey parecía mellor que el ten en tres anos. Non está facendo backup. Franxa de descubrimento de Randall co seu jab, enganchado fóra do jab, mesturando o seu e movendo-se, indo a cabeza eo corpo. Seu adversario nunca viu o gancho de esquerda, porque estaba mirando para a dereita grande. Escoitou e todo saíu do seu jab. Eu creo que pode ser tan bo como el era hai cinco anos. Agora, el é un exímio tire reais. Quedei moi impresionado co seu rendemento e eu estou moi esperanzador sobre o seu futuro boxeo.”

 

Director de longa data de Bailey, Si Estrela, resumiu mellor: “Esta foi a súa primeira loita en 154 e el xa se parece un campión. Estaba un pouco enferrujado no comezo, pero, ao contrario do pasado, empezou a moverse por todo o lugar. Co seu poder de nocaute e agora ese movemento, gancho de esquerda e jab, Randall Bailey é aínda máis perigoso do que nunca. Estou respondendo a algunhas chamadas sobre loitas para el. Se é unha loita grande e que o diñeiro é bo, imos dar o seguinte. Pero non vai loitar por cacahuetes, así, a gran loita non está alí xunto, nós tomamos outra loita e espero que o un despois que é un dos grandes. Randall está preparado para loitar contra calquera Middleweight júnior no mundo……se o prezo é xusto.”

Invicto perspectiva abondo cubano Robert Alfonso brilla

 

Estable-compañeiro de Bailey, invicto perspectiva abondo cubano Robert Alfonso (6-0, 2 Kos), tamén brillou a semana pasada na eliminatoria Bailey-King, starching mammoth Kevin Kelley (1-4, 1 KO) con socos estrondosos na terceira rolda.

 

O 2008 Cuban Olympian, que agora vive e adestra en Miami, doou máis de 100 libras ao seu 353-pound adversario. Alfonso saíu dando golpes castigo da campá de apertura, dereito ata a loita foi interrompida polo árbitro na terceira rolda.

 

“Estou moi orgulloso de Robert,” seu adestrador Cuellar observou. “El non era coñecido polo seu poder, pero de Robert moi forte e pode realmente romper. Bateu este cara cunha esquerda-dereita dereita e derrubouse a cara primeiro. A loita debería ser parado logo, pero bater a conta e o árbitro deixalo continuar. Durou só un zócolo. Seu adversario nunca fora abaixo antes. Robert mostrou o seu novo personaxe como un artista lexítimo KO. Deixou súas mans ir e colocar os seus golpes xuntos. Este gato realmente romper! Foi agresivo desde o inicio, xeración de enerxía con cada zócolo que xogou.”

Quedei realmente impresionado polo poder de Robert. As persoas adoram asistir os pesos pesados ​​que nocaute persoas e Robert pode facer iso e moito máis. Pode ter outra de seis rolda loitar xunto, ou mover ata oito roldas. Outro tres ou catro loitas ou máis e estará loitando 10-rounders. O noso plan é levalo a preto de 15-0 con 10-11 Kos, que debe poñer-lo nunha loita polo título mundial.”
