MIAMI, Okla. (Sju. 24, 2016) – On a night when undefeated heavyweight Trey Lippe Morrison won his television debut and Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk och Ivan "Den Volk" Golub förblev obesegrad, lätt tungvikt Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic regained his winning ways by registering a fifth-round knockout over previously unbeaten Travis Peterkin i den viktigaste händelsen i en ShoBox: Den nya generationen quadrupleheader leva på Showtime Fredag från Buffalo Run Kasino i Miami, Okla.

 

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

 

Other televised results: Baranchyk (12-0, 10 Kos), av Brooklyn, N.Y., took a 10-round unanimous decision over Wang Zhimin (7-1, 3 Kos, 7-1 WSB), of Nutley, N.J. by way of Ningbo, Kina, i ShoBox co-feature; immensely popular local favorite and son of the late former world heavyweight champion, Tommy “The Duke” Morrison, tungvikt Trey Lippe Morrison (12-0, 12 Kos) demolished previously unbeaten Ed Latimore (13-1, 7 Kos), Pittsburgh, Pa., scoring en 2:19, first-round TKO; and Ukrainian welterweight Golub (13-0, 11 Kos, 5-0 WSB), av Brooklyn, registered a third-round knockout over James Stevenson(23-3, 16 Kos), från Baltimore, Md.

 

Kalajdzic overwhelmed Peterkin with consistent aggression, superior fighting spirit and better power. Han landade 45 procent av hans makt skott, Inklusive 60 percent in the final round. Mer, 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 expert analytiker Steve Farhood said afterward. “He was exposed i kväll, 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 i kväll.

 

“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), vann med poängen av 100-90 två gånger och 99-91. There were no knockdowns.

 

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 i kväll.''

 

Wang, who gave his best and never allowed Baranchyk to relax, sa, “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. Ögonblick senare, 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, det är säkert. 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 sa. “Let’s let Freddie Roach to do a little bit more of work with him. He had a tremendous pressure on him i kväll, but he did fantastically and he responded very well. He made a big step up in class i kväll 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,"Sade Farhood. “We keep thinking of him as a boxer but he showed tremendous power i kväll. He knocked out a very sturdy opponent in Stevenson and Baranchyk will benefit tremendously by going 10 rundor. 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 start. “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.’’

Fredagens four-fight telecast that was promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Tony Holden Productions in association with Fight Promotions and Roc Nation Sports will re-air Måndag vid 10 p.m. OCH/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND beginning today, Lördag, Sju. 24.

Below is what the fighters had to say prior to Torsdagens invägningen:

 

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. Sedan, 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.

 

"På fredag 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 Fredag 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, alltför, 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, men 175 is fine. Jag är redo.

 

“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. We’re coming to win, 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, alltför.

 

“’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. Fredag should be an exciting night for everybody.

 

“My last two fights have ended quickly but I always train and plan to go 10 rundor. 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, så vi får se.

 

“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 på fredag.''

 

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: ring generalshipen, fotarbete, 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 MÖRT, 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 procent klar. 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. Sedan, 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 Fredag. 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, Jag kommer att vinna. 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. Fredagis 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 & Exekutiv producent,ShoBox: Den nya generationen

"I morgon night we have eight fighters with a total combined record of 114-3-1. We have undefeated fighters facing each other. Vi hade 151 fighters fight on ShoBox, and lose that 0. I morgon natt, 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 amatör slagsmål. He’s an accomplished fighter, 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 herei morgon natt. "

Barry Tompkins kommer att kalla den ShoBox action från ringside med Steve Farhood och tidigare världsmästare Raul Marquez portion som expertanalytiker. Den exekutiva producenten är Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughan producera och Rick Phillips riktande.

“Hot Rod” Kalajdzic Faces Undefeated Travis Peterkin in Main Event,
Ivan Baranchyk, Wang Zhimin in Clash of Unbeaten Junior Welterweights, Welterweight Ivan Golub Risks Perfect Record Against James Stevenson

Live på SHOWTIME® vid 10 p.m. OCH/PT

NEW YORK (Sju. 21, 2016) - Trey Lippe Morrison är 11-0 med 11 knockouts. He is the son of the late former world heavyweight championTommy “The Duke” Morrison. A Grove, Okla., nativ, Trey resides in Hollywood, Calif., and is trained by Freddie Roach at Wild Card Gym.

 

Detta Fredag, Sju. 23, Morrison makes his eagerly awaited television debut when he faces fellow unbeaten and Roc Nation prospect Ed Latimore (13-0, 7 Kos), Pittsburgh, Pa., in the second bout of a ShoBox: Den nya generationen quadrupleheader leva på Showtime (10 p.m. OCH/PT, fördröjd på västkusten) från Buffalo Run Kasino i Miami, Okla.

 

Morrison, som vänder 27 på Sju. 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 sista Jan. 23.

 

Below is what Morrison and Roach said about Trey’s fight against LatimoreFredag, 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 slagsmål,’’ 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, ja. Sure. 100 procent. 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, ja. 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. Om jag inte tränar, 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 much — probably 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? …

"Yeah. 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. Du vet, 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. Ärligt, 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 Fredag i 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 procent klar. Latimore is his toughest fight, but it’s time to step up.’’

 

 

I Fredagens ShoBox main event, gång slagen Radivoje Kalajdzic (21-1, 14 Kos), St. Petersburg, Fla. will try and resume his winning ways when he meets undefeated Travis Peterkin (16-0-1, 7 Kos), av Brooklyn, N.Y.. in a 10-round light heavyweight scrap.

Baranchyk Excited to Impress New Hometown Fans Friday in Miami, OK

Baranchyk.jpg
Miami, OK (September 19, 2016) – When junior welterweight buzzsaw Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk first fought at the Buffalo Run Casino in March, he was not known by locals. Many of the fans packed the venue primarily to support “Four State Franchise” members Kenzie Morrison, Jesse Cook and Dillon Cook. Things however quickly changed.
On that evening, Baranchyk destroyed fellow unbeaten Nicholas Givhan in 21 seconds with a crushing left hook. Exactly three months later, Baranchyk returned to the Buffalo Run Casino and had the fans watching him closely. The explosive 23-year-old delivered again, stopping another unbeaten fighter Eliseo Cruz Sesma in less than three rounds. A fighter previously unknown to locals quickly became in demand.
“The fans here fell in love with Ivan,” said Promoter Tony Holden, who has promoted fights for more than 25 år. “He’s got a great style that can win over a crowd that may not have known much about him and that’s exactly what he did in his last two fights.”
I augusti, Holden signed Baranchyk to a co-promotional agreement, working in association with DiBella Entertainment and Fight Promotions Inc.
Now a member of the “Four State Franchise,” Baranchyk looks to run his record to 12-0 med 11 knockouts when he meets 7-0 Zhimin Wang of China in a ten round contest for the USBA junior welterweight title Fredag evening at the Buffalo Run Casino. The Branchyk-Wang bout takes places on a ShoBox quadrupleheader featuring three other exciting matchups between fighters with a combined record of 96-3-1. The card airs live on Showtime at 10 pm ET and tickets to the fight are sold out.
With a win, Baranchyk will likely be ranked in the top 15 and move onto bigger fights. Emellertid, the Brooklyn, NY based Russian is solely focused on entertaining his newfound supporters.
Baranchyk said of his upcoming bout, “I’m excited beyond belief to once again fight on Shobox and in my new hometown of Miami, OK. Denna gång (my opponent) is much more serious but I am prepared to fight anyone. I am going to show a high level of boxing and god willing the fight will end early in a knockout.”

NEW YORK (Sju. 6, 2016) – Light heavyweight Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic will face unbeaten southpaw Travis “The Notorious” Peterkin in the 10-round main event of a stacked ShoBox: Den nya generationen quadrupleheader på Fredag, Sju. 23, leva på Showtime (10 p.m. OCH/PT, fördröjd på västkusten) från Buffalo Run Kasino i Miami, Okla.

The combined record of the eight boxers on the televised card is 114-3-1 med 78 knockouts.

Kalajdzic, 25, St. Petersburg, Fla., och Peterkin, 26, of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, N.Y., kommer att göra sitt ShoBox debuts and initial 10-round starts.

This is Kalajdzic’s first fight since losing a highly controversial and questionable eight-round split decision to unbeaten 2012 Olympian Marcus Browne sista April 16 i Brooklyn. Kalajdzic is clamoring for a rematch with the world-ranked Browne, but he can’t overlook the strong, athletic Peterkin, who is coming off a shutout decision over Larry Pryor sista Mars 30 and is looking for a breakout performance.

I ShoBox co-feature, super lightweight powerhouse Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (11-0, 10 Kos), av Brooklyn, N.Y., faces Roc Nation prospect’s Wang Zhimin (7-0, 3 Kos, 7-1 WSB), of Nutley, N.J. by way of Ningbo, Kina, in a 10-rounder for the vacant USBA 140-pound title. In a scheduled eight-round bout, Ukrainian welterweight Ivan "Den Volk" Golub (12-0, 10 Kos, 5-0 WSB), av Brooklyn, tar på James “Keep’em Sleepin” Stevenson (23-2, 16 Kos), från Baltimore, Md.

Local favorite and son of the late former world heavyweight champion, Tommy “The Duke” Morrison, tungvikt Trey Lippe Morrison (11-0, 11 Kos) makes his highly anticipated television debut against fellow unbeaten and Roc Nation prospect Ed Latimore (13-0, 7 Kos), Pittsburgh, Pa., in the six-round telecast opener.

Tickets for the event promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Tony Holden Productions in association with Roc Nation Sports are priced at $35, $55 och $75 och finns påbuffalorun.com och vid stubwire.com. (Den $35 tickets are sold out).

Kalajdzic (21-1, 14 Kos), a 6-foot-2 native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, turned pro in June 2011. Han vann sin första 21 fights before losing to Browne in a bout in which many felt he won easily. Browne (18-0) landed an occasional hard shot, but Kalajdzic seemed to control the fight with his power and awkward style. Both boxers hit the deck, Kalajdzic (from what appeared to be a slip) in the first, Browne (clearly) in the sixth from a right hand to the head. Receiving credit for a knockdown in which no punch appeared to connect was the difference, and the fans booed when the scores of 76-75, 76-74 och 74-76 were announced.

“I am really excited about this fight and that I am on television again fighting another undefeated southpaw,"Sade Kalajdzic. “I am continuing where I left off with training camp from my previous fight since it’s another southpaw, so I will be more than prepared. Förhoppningsvis, 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 Dominikanska olympier Lenin Castillo (12-0) den aug. 1, 2015 vid Barclays Center. Peterkin had a point deducted in the fourth for hitting after the break and in the fifth for a low blow. Poängen var 76-74 och 75-75 två gånger.

Despite the draw in his outing before last, Peterkin considered this the most gratifying moment of his life. Från 2012-14, he stocked and served food in the suites at Barclays. In his most recent effort, Peterkin easily outpointed Pryor by the scores of 80-72 three times in New York. This will be Peterkin’s first fight outside of his home state.

A good boxer with excellent technique, Peterkin was introduced to boxing by his father, Bernard, en 1987 heavyweight Golden Gloves semifinalist, i 2001. Han gick 95-7 i amatörer; after winning the 2010 New York Golden Gloves, he went pro in January 2011.

“I was ringside at Hot Rod’s last fight. Jag respekterar honom, but I saw what his flaws are and will exploit them,” said Peterkin. “I am anticipating a war. Brooklyn is coming to Oklahoma and I will not disappoint. På Sju. 23, greatness beckons.”

Baranchyk, an offensive-minded fighting machine, packs outstanding power in both hands. He’s making his third appearance on ShoBox and third in a row at Buffalo Run. His otherShoBox startar, both first-round knockouts versus undefeated opponents, totaled a combined2:49.

The highly regarded, all-action Baranchyk registered a brutal, two-punch, 21-second stoppage over Nicholas Givhan (16-0-1) sista Mars 25 på ShoBox at Buffalo Run. He scored a 2:28, första omgången knockout över Shadi Shehadeh (9-0-2) i hans ShoBox debut last December. 11 i Houston, Texas.

Baranchyk was born in Minsk, Byelorussia and lives in Brooklyn. He’s won eight straight by knockout, including a third-round TKO over previously undefeated Joaquim "Eliseo” Kors (9-0-1) sista Juni 25 at Buffalo Run. Dominant with his speed and power from the outset, Baranchyk dropped Cruz in the second. Cruz’s corner threw in the towel at 1:07 av den tredje.

Allt 10 of the 5-foot-7, 23-year-old Baranchyk’s knockouts have come inside three full rounds, including six in the first. 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,” said Baranchyk. “Zhimin is a very skilled fighter and he will be my toughest opponent yet. Emellertid, 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 sista Juni 11. Zhimin had great success in the WSB, winning the gold in 2011 in his native China, defeating Yerzhan Mussafirov of Kazakhstan in the tightly contested lightweight final. Innan det, he reached the final in the Chinese National Boxing Championship in 2010, where he received a silver medal. I 2012, Han vann en annan silvermedalj, denna gång på Erdos International Boxing Competition.

“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, han gick 5-0 in the WSB. He’s gone 12-0 sedan, vinnande 10 genom knockout, including his last six in a row, the last three as a welterweight.

I hans ShoBox debut, 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 sista Juli 21, was an outstanding amateur. Han gick 270-32 som amatör, 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 debut. En pro sedan 2008, he won his first 21 scraps until losing by ninth-round TKO to then-undefeated Sammy Vasquez den aug. 8, 2014. The fight was competitive for five rounds before Vasquez took over. Stevenson went down in the ninth.

The 5-foot-11, 33-year-old Stevenson has won two-of-three since, inklusive en femte omgången TKO över Kevin Womack sista Maj 14 in his first fight i 13 månader. 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. I 2011, during a routine jog, a dog viciously attacked him, requiring Stevenson to get more than 20 stitches. Kort därefter, 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 påSju. 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 sista Jan. 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 sista Juli 15.

Den 6-fot-1, 31-year-old Latimore turned pro in January 2013. Som amatör, he won the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves, National PAL and Ringside Championships, and was victorious over 2012 Olympian 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."

TIDIGARE MEXIKANSKA CHAMPION att testa BERRY PÅ NOVEMBER 21 I Lewiston

Lämna en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Oktober 14, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USA: s nummer ett regionalt kamp främjande, kommer att hålla sitt nästa evenemang, “NEF XX: A History of Violence” på Lördag, November 21, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. Evenemanget kommer att innehålla en första för Maine – blandad martial-arts (MMA) anfall och professionell boxning matcher på samma händelse med en MMA bur och en boxningsring inrättas sida vid sida. Tidigare idag, the promotion announced the main event of the boxing portion of the fight card. Reigning Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “The Cannon” Berry (9-1, 6 Kos) kommer att möta Roberto “The Old” Valenzuela (73-69-2, 56 Kos) i en åtta Ligt weltervikt tävling.

 

Berry vann nordöstra Junior weltervikt titel för ett år sedan i Lewiston med ett enhälligt beslut seger över Eric Palmer (6-8-3, 1 KO). The title was the first in the professional career of the standout from West Forks, Maine. Berry would, bara en månad senare, suffer his first loss in a bout in which he severely injured his shoulder early on. Following a successful surgery and months of rehab, Berry återvände triumferande till ringen i somras med en andrahandseffekter teknisk knockout (VEM) vinna i Skowhegan, Maine.

 

“Jag är mycket angelägen som alltid att gå tillbaka in i boxningsringen på 21 Novemberi Lewiston,” uppgivna Berry. “Det är spännande att slåss för min tionde yrkes seger. I’m honored to have been invited back to the Colisee to headline another Pro Boxing card. I want to thank NEF for making this possible for me, och hoppas att ha en annan actionspäckade, competitive fight like we had in October 2014. A lot has changed for me in my boxing career, och jag ser fram emot att visa alla mina fans mina förbättringar som gjorts. Såvitt min motståndare, den mest erfarna en hittills, Roberto Valenzuela, det kommer att bli ett bra test för mig samtidigt ge upp storlek och erfarenhet. Vi försökte göra ett slagsmål med ett par olika killar från området men kunde inte. Mitt jobb är att träna hårt och vara redo för vem de sätter på den andra sidan av ringen, en runda i taget.”

 

Valenzuela is about as much of a veteran as one will find in a boxing ring. Having begun his professional career in early 1992, Valenzuela fick till ett fantastiskt 14-0 start, konkurrerar runt hans hemstat Sonora, Mexiko. Among the opponents Valenzuela has faced in his career are the likes of former world champions Andre Berto (30-4, 23 Kos) och Steve Forbes (35-14, 11 Kos) och nuvarande världsmästaren Zahir Raheem (35-3, 21 Kos). Valenzuela fought former lightweight world champion Jose Luis Castillo (66-13-1, 57 Kos) på undercard av en 1996 Joey Gamache (55-4, 38 Kos) och Julio Cesar Chavez (107-6-2, 86 Kos) bout i Anaheim, Kalifornien. Dessutom, Valenzuela höll den mexikanska Stillahavskusten Super Fjäder titel från 2003 till 2007. He has the strongest pedigree of any opponent Berry has faced to date.

 

“Jag har kämpat hela USA, men aldrig i Maine, så jag är glad över att gå någonstans jag aldrig har varit,” sade Valenzuela genom en översättare. “Jag har gjort detta sedan han var valp. Jag har fått veta att han har VHS-band på några av mina matcher från vissa kort han tejpade på TV när han var liten (skrattar). Thankfully, Jag har video av honom mer nyligen på Youtube. Han är inget jag har inte sett förut i en kamp eller sparring. Jag kommer att vara redo.”

 

“När Brandon undertecknades den till "NEF XX’ kampen kort, han var mycket tydligt att han ville att vi skulle hitta honom en motståndare som har varit i ringen med de bästa,” recalled NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Roberto presents a challenge unlike any other Brandon has faced to date. He has actively competed as a professional for nearly a quarter of a century. He hasn’t sat on a shelf either. He just fought this past spring and summer. Brandon Berry kommer testas påNovember 21, make no mistake about it. But Brandon has recently been sparring several times a week all over New England with top-notch partners. He is coming into this bout as a whole new Brandon Berry, fast besluten att göra sitt märke i boxning världen.”

 

New England Fights’ nästa händelse, “NEF XX: A History of Violence,” sker på November 21, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. Evenemanget kommer att markera första gången i Maine historia en blandad-martial-arts (MMA) händelse och en professionell boxning händelse har ägt rum tillsammans på samma utställning.

Taylor (18-4, 12 KO: s) av Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland har etablerat sig som en av de högst rankade utmanare i Jr. Weltervikt divisionen och har varit i flera spännande matcher mot världsmästare Chris Algieri & Adrien Broner samt obesegrad Enrique Orozco. Dessa slagsmål har gjort Taylor en tv-nät stapel.

“Jag skulle vilja säga att jag är glad över att få möjlighet att etablera ett joint venture med Mark Cipparrone” sade David Price D och D hantering. “Jag har alltid haft stor respekt för honom och jag tänkte D och D och 1957 skulle kunna komplettera istället för att ständigt konkurrera med varandra.”

“När vi ursprungligen undertecknade Emanuel Taylor hade han redan undertecknats med en lokal chef och vi kollektivt fungerade som Co- Chefer. Emanuel inte längre ville ha hans hem manager inblandade och Doc och jag trodde det skulle vara en stor möjlighet att arbeta med någon annan som vi kände hade en hög grad av vad vi kallar VISA ( Vision, Integritet, Struktur, Ansvarighet).”

“Det finns för tillfället bara har Emanuel tillsammans och alla våra separata stall förbli just det. Vi hoppas dock att detta är början på en stor arbetsrelation som vi kunde växa i många år fram”

Med boxning är mycket svårt att flytta soldater längs, Vi trodde det skulle vara en perfekt match. Vi har gjort bra saker med våra soldater. Mark har gjort bra saker med sina fighters. Vi känner stor om att samarbeta med Manny och förhoppningsvis kan vi göra en del andra saker i framtiden.”

“Vi har några stora förväntningar framöver för Manny. Vi känner att han har talang för att bli en världsmästare som han har etablerat sig som en favorit av bidrags nätverk.”

"Thee år sedan bestämde jag mig för att dyka med huvudet först in i verksamheten för att hantera boxare. Jag har gett mitt allt från första dagen och vill inget hellre än att hjälpa fram en världsmästare. När jag fick samtalet från Dave Pris att samarbeta med D och D för att hantera Manny Taylor det var utan tvekan att jag sa ja. Tro det eller inte ens innan det samtalet jag hade samma idé att gå samman med D och D. Både Doc och Dave har gjort ett bra jobb med sina soldater och det är lätt att se att de är hårt arbetande, etiska affärs män. Jag ser fram emot att se vad våra samlade resurser och talanger kan producera. Jag är inte en till partner …bara för att. Ja det gamla ordspråket 2 huvuden är bättre än man kan tillämpa, men jag tror att vi har ett komplement till kompetens och även om vi kan ha haft en viss underliggande konkurrenskraft i det förflutna som vi verkligen tycker om varandra,” säger Mark Cipparone Club 1957 Management.”

“Manny är en extremt begåvade boxare och vi alla är engagerade i att göra en skillnad i hans karriär. Jag personligen ser fram emot att arbeta med honom som en del av det här laget och tror att han kommer att ha en särskild möjlighet att nå sina mål.”

Robert Alfonso imponerar också

(L-R) Trainer Orlando Cuellar och Randall “KO kung” Bailey fira efter förra lördagens seger

MIAMI (Juni 25, 2015) – Kommande av 19 månader av inaktivitet och göra hans yngre mellanvikt debut förra helgen, Randall “KO kung” Bailey (45-8, 38 Kos) meddelat att han gör ett allvarligt köra på ännu en VM-titel i en annan viktklass.

 

Tre-tid, mästare två division värld Bailey slutade veteranen Gundrick “Sho-Gun” Kung (18-15, 11 Kos) i den andra omgången med en vänsterkrok, inte hans ökända rätt, i Main Event på Riverdale Center of Arts i Riverdale, Georgien.

 

“I den första omgången,” 40-åriga Bailey förklarade, “Jag ville bara få känslan i ringen och börja använda min jab. Jag slog honom med ett par bra rätt händer, men jag visste att han var erfarna och att han letade efter min högra. Jag kom ut i den andra med hjälp av min jab och vänsterkrok, börjar verkligen känna det igen. Jag krossade honom med min vänsterkrok. 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, i den andra, Jag hade min jab arbetar, backas upp honom med det, och började sätta mina slag tillsammans.

 

“Striden vid 154 var, bra, bara en annan kamp. Jag kände starkare, fast. Nu? Jag vill bara stanna upptagen. Det spelar ingen roll vem jag slåss, Jag är inte orolig för någon på 154, men jag vet inte riktigt har tillräckligt med tid kvar för att ta baby steg. Jag vill komma tillbaka i ringen. Det är att gå dags för The King!”

 

“Sho-Gun” Kungen kan inte vara på toppen av junior mellanvikt stege men, han är en krigsvana, erfaren motståndare, särskilt som en motståndare för en kämpe som kommer från en 1-½ år uppsägningar som Bailey. Bailey visade verkligen tillräckligt mot kung för hans huvud tränare, Orlando Cuellar, att imponeras.

 

“Detta var vår första kamp arbetar tillsammans, men jag har sett Randall kamp för år,” Cuellar sa. “Vi arbetade på maskering sin stora högra hand genom att hålla upptagen med sin vänstra hand, luta oss tillbaka på sin jab, inte faller i, och haka av hans jab. Han gjorde det i träningsläger, men sparring och slåss är olika. Han rörde vid hans motståndare med sin jab i första omgången som jag instruerat. Jag ville att allt skulle komma av hans jab och för honom att kasta rätt till kroppen, alltid kasta den första och sista punch. I den andra omgången, han faktiskt använde sin vänsterkrok mot huvudet och kroppen.

 

“Randall Bailey såg bättre än han har i tre år. Han är inte säkerhetskopiera. Randall slutsats sortiment med sin jab, hooking utanför jaben, blanda upp det och flytta runt, gå till huvud och kropp. Hans motståndare såg aldrig vänsterkrok, därför att han letade efter den stora rätten. Han lyssnade och allt lossnade hans jab. Jag tror att han kan vara lika bra som han var fem år sedan. Nu, Han är en riktig vass skytt. Jag var mycket imponerad av hans prestation och jag är mycket hoppfull om hans boxning framtid.”

 

Baileys longtime chef, Si Star, sammanfattade det bäst: “Detta var hans första kamp på 154 och han redan ser ut som en mästare. Han var lite rostig i början men, till skillnad från tidigare, han började flytta överallt. Med sin knockout makt och nu denna rörelse, vänster krok och jab, Randall Bailey är ännu farligare än någonsin tidigare. Jag Fielding några samtal om kämpar för honom. Om det är en stor kamp och pengarna är bra, vi tar det nästa. Men han kommer inte att kämpa för jordnötter, så, om den stora kampen är inte där nästa, vi tar en annan kamp och hoppas att den ena efter det är den stora. Randall är redo att slåss någon junior mellanvikt i världen……om priset är rätt.”

Undefeated kubanska tungvikts utsikter Robert Alfonso skiner

 

Baileys stabila-mate, obesegrad kubanska tungvikts utsikter Robert Alfonso (6-0, 2 Kos), även lyste förra veckan på Bailey-King undercard, starching mammoth Kevin Kelley (1-4, 1 KO) med en dånande slag i den tredje omgången.

 

Den 2008 Kubanska Olympian, som nu bor och tåg i Miami, gav bort mer än 100 pounds till hans 353 pund motståndare. Alfonso kom ut kasta straffa slag från öppningen klockan, ända fram kampen stoppades av domaren i den tredje omgången.

 

“Jag är mycket stolt över Robert,” hans tränare Cuellar noterade. “Han var inte känd för sin makt, men Robert är väldigt stark och han kan verkligen knäcka. Han slog den här killen med en höger-vänster-höger och sparkat ner honom ansikte först. Kampen borde ha stoppats sedan, men han slog greven och domaren lät det fortsätta. Det varade bara en mer punch. Hans motståndare hade aldrig varit ner innan. Robert visade sin nya karaktär som en legitim knockout konstnär. Han lät sina händer gå och sätta sina slag tillsammans. Denna katt kan verkligen knäcka! Han var aggressiv från början, generera kraft med varenda punch han kastade.”

 

Stern är övertygad om att han har en framtid världsmästare tungvikt i Alfonso. “Robert vägde in på 250 pund och han levererade en knockout slag mot hans 363 pund motståndare som var otroligt att se,” Stern anmärkte. “Han gick rakt upp i luften och landade platt på ansiktet. Jag var riktigt imponerad av Robert makt. Folk älskar att titta tungviktare som knockout människor och Robert kan göra det och mycket mer. Han kan ha en annan sex-round slåss nästa, eller flytta upp till åtta omgångar. Ytterligare 3-4 matcher eller så och han kommer att slåss 10-brännboll. Vår plan är att få honom att runt 15-0 med 10-11 Kos, som ska få honom i en värld titel kamp.”
