MASHANTUCKET, CT (Julij 21, 2016) – Unbeaten rising middleweight Sergiy “The Technician” Derevyanchenko (9-0, 7 Kos) podrli Am “King” Soliman(44-14, 18 Kos) three times before stopping the former world champion in the second round of the main event of Premier Boxing prvakov na ESPN and ESPN Deportes Thursday night from Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
A 2008 Ukrajinec Olympian, Derevyanchenko was in control from the start, standing his ground and delivering smart shots as Soliman attempted to flummox him with movement and awkward angles.
Soliman got caught with a missile right hand from Derevyanchenko that landed right on the chin and sent the off-balance Australian to the canvas. Soliman didn’t appear hurt however, as he continued to come forward to try to disrupt and frustrate the undefeated fighter.
Derevyanchenko continued to land effective shots and caught Soliman off-balance again in round two, this time with a left hook that put Soliman on the ground. Soliman again got to his feet but Derevyanchenko quickly stunned Soliman and put him into survival mode.
Soliman tried to tie up and avoid Derevyanchenko, but eventually the undefeated fighter training, who trains in Brooklyn, landed several right hands before a sweeping left hook sent Soliman to the ground hard and for the final time of the night. Referee Johnny Callas waved the fight off at 2:41 drugega kroga.
The opening bout of the evening saw hard-hitting Ievgen Khytrov (13-0, 11 Kos) lay a non-stop attack on Paul Mendez (19-3-2, 9 Kos) before eventually earning a stoppage in the ninth-round of their middleweight matchup.
Khytrov and Mendez went toe-to-toe from the first-round, exchanging flurries and showing a willingness to stand in front of their opponent. It was Khytrov who showed the more varied attack while getting out to a fast start and landing 50 percent of his power punches over the first three rounds.
Mendez stood tough and continued throwing punches, but was unable to land anything that bothered Khytrov. The Ukranian-born fighter who trains in Brooklyn attacked the body early while dazing Mendez with uppercuts and power hooks. Rounds seven and eight saw Khytrov increase his attack as he seemingly landed power punches at will.
The fight continued in that one-sided manner throughout the opening minute of round nine. Sensing an opportunity, Khytrov cornered Mendez and hit him with a series of unanswered hooks that forced referee Joe Lupino to stop the fight, at the recommendation of the ringside physician, 1:20 v krogu. Khytrov ended the fight with a 482-125 advantage in punches landed while landing 50 percent of his total shots.
Tukaj je tisto, kar so borci imeli za povedati četrtek:
SERGIY DEREVYANCHENKO
“I looked into his eyes after I knocked him down the first time and I knew he would continue coming forward. I wasn’t going to drop my guard. I didn’t even feel that punch on my glove because it was so clean to the chin. But I felt the final punch.
“I warmed up more than once and that broke my rhythm. In the ring I had to get my rhythm.
“Soliman came out nervous and not very coordinated, but that’s the way he usually fights. That’s his style.
“I’m going to keep moving forward. I can’t sit and wait. We will assess the situation and move from here.”
SAM Soliman
“I’m doing well. I didn’t get to warm up, just a couple of minutes, but that’s no excuse. He did his job. That’s never happened before to me.
“He’s a good boxer who did what he had to do. Ne morem ničesar proč od njega.
“After every fight, fighters have to decide what to do next. I have a lot outside of boxing that makes me happy, and it takes the sting out of tonight.”
IEVGEN KHYTROV
“I love to fight and battle and go toe-to-toe. I executed the game plan. My defense was much better and I’ve worked hard on my defense. This was my best fight because that guy stood and fought, he didn’t run.
“I wasn’t surprised that Mendez took so many punches because I didn’t throw every punch hard, I mixed it up, but did throw some hard punches.
“I want a couple more fights then I want to fight for the world title. That’s what I’ve worked so hard to do. I’m not going to dodge anybody. I want to fight Gennady Golovkin and take his belts.”

Prince Technical School in Hartford, was a decorated amateur boxer with a 45-13 amaterski rekord, highlighted by three gold-medal performances at the Ringside World Championships, in addition to winning the PAL Tournament and Silver Gloves Championships.
“I am thrilled to sign such a hungry, young prospect like Mykey Williams,” je dejal Lou DiBella. “Williams is an accomplished amateur and Jackie Kallen certainly has an eye for spotting great talent. He already has a growing fan base in the New England area and I am confident that he will quickly develop into a rising prospect.”
“Signing with DiBella was the best move for me,” Williams commented. “I’m excited to be fighting under the DiBella banner now. He’s a great promoter who will help me get to the world-class level in this sport. I’m just happy that the ball is finally rolling!”
Williams has already overcome tremendous obstacles during his young life, including the shooting murder of his father when Mykey was only one week old, and then his house burned down 10 years later.
Paul Cichon, a 2014 Conn. Boxing Hall of Fame inductee, has trained Williams since he was seven. “If anybody had a reason to go the wrong way, it was Mykey,” Cichon added. “But he’s a great kid who is a hard worker and is always happy with a positive attitude. He’s a boxer who can punch and when he sets up his opponent, pazi, because he’s in big trouble. Mykey is a great finisher who moves well and has good defense. He’s a left-hander who goes to the body to breakdown his opponent. Mykey’s slick and hard to hit, but he’s also unique because he’s a naturally gifted athlete who could have excelled at any sport he chose.”
Although Williams made his successful professional debut on April 16th at Foxwoods Resorts Casino in a card promoted by DiBella Entertainment, he will make his DiBella Entertainment debut ta četrtek noč (Junij 30) at Foxwoods in a four-round bout.
“I haven’t been this excited about a fighter since I signed James Toney in 1989,” famed boxing manager Jackie Kallen exclaimed. “Mykey Williams is the real deal. His future is unlimited and we are thrilled to partner up with DiBella Entertainment to make it all happen.”

Nocoj je event was a family affair with Russell Jr. working his brother Antonio’s corner during Nocoj je undercard and boxing’s Smith brothers, including current WBO Super Welterweight World Champion Liam Smith, cheering from the crowd.

 

A relentless Russell brought the main event to a quick halt by registering three knockdowns in the second round, the last of which forced referee Danny Schiavone to end the contest at 1:33. Od prvega zvona, Washington, Enosmerno. native came out swinging with his trademark hand speed and dangerous power. Russell, a southpaw, successfully broke down—and knocked out—Hyland with multiple vicious right hooks.

 

“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., ki izboljšuje svoj rekord do 27 zmaga, one loss, 15 Knockouts.

 

“I’m ready to fight anyone in the division – Santa Cruz, Lee Selby. We are ready. But what I really want is [Vasyl] Lomachenko. I don’t care if he moves up to 147 funtov. I will go anywhere to get that fight,” Russell said.

 

“There aren’t many fighters who you instantly know are special,” said SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst Steve Farhood. “The combination of Gary Russell’s hand speed and accuracy instantly shows us that he’s special. That was plainly evident Nocoj and at times his hand speed was frightening.”

 

Pedraza (22-0, 12 Kos) remained disciplined and came out victorious during his second IBF 130-pound world title defense. A combination of timing, hand speed and good defense allowed the Puerto Rican native to dominate the 12-round championship fight.

 

“This definitely was a tough fight but the training really came to advantage in this fight,” Pedraza told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray. “I knew he was a tough fighter so I was always aware.”

 

“I had better focus Nocoj. I had a better training camp,” said Pedraza, referring to his controversial split decision win over Edner Cherry two fights ago. “I knew that Stephen Smith was a great fighter and even after the knockdown, we were very cautious not to rush in.”

 

“Pedraza won Nocoj with different weapons. Mostly right hands to the head,"Je dejal Farhood. “I had the fight even after eight rounds and once Pedraza dropped Smith in the ninth, he gained momentum that he never lost and he pulled away. It was an impressive performance but also an important one because it erased a lot of the negative criticism Pedraza received in his controversial win over Edner Cherry.”

 

Pedraza was the more accurate fighter, pristanek 50 percent of his power punches over the 12-round bout. The Sniper was able to pick his spots and pocket rounds once he figured out the distance. Smith had his moments, but wasn’t active enough.

Evo, kaj so imeli borci povedati Sredinem zaključna tiskovna konferenca.
GARY RUSSELL JR.
(O Patricku Hylandu…)
“Najprej in predvsem, Moram mu pustiti kapo. Slišal sem ga, ko je rekel, da ga je treniral oče. Tudi mene in moje mlajše brate trenira moj oče. Moj oče je moj najljubši superjunak, zato se je zelo težko soočiti s takšno situacijo in se vrniti nazaj ter zmleti in vložiti ves trud in trud v to po vsem srčnem bolečini in izgubi, Za to mu moram pustiti kapo.
Vem, da kadarkoli imaš borca, ki trenira šest do osem tednov in se pripravlja na nikogar drugega kot na tebe, je nevaren boj. On je visok, on je dolg, lahko pa ga vzamemo. Obvladali bomo.”
(Ob vrnitvi po poškodbi…)
“Počutim se dobro. Jaz sem pripravljen; Delo sem dal v telovadnico. Kot sem rekel prej, Večkrat so me preklinjali in včasih sem zapustil telovadnico z občutkom, da sem najslabši borec vseh časov. Vendar, zdaj, pripravljeni smo in pripravljeni smo vlagati v moje sposobnosti.”
(O tem, kaj pomeni imeti svojega brata Antonia na kartici, ki jo vodi…)
“To pomeni veliko. veselim se tega. Pravzaprav se bolj veselim gledanja svojega brata na tekmovanju kot svojega boja. V tej borbi bom zagotovo delal njegov kot. Veliko nam pomeni, da lahko te informacije prenašamo iz generacije v generacijo in gledamo, kako rastejo, in gledamo, kako gradimo kot družina in kot enota. Neverjetno je.’
“Vsekakor ima potencial biti najboljši. Tako on kot Antuanne, ki je zdaj na 2016 olimpijska ekipa. To so vse informacije, ki se prenašajo iz roda v rod. Počutim se, kot da so zagotovo sposobni biti boljši od mene. Želel bi, da so vseeno.”
(O tem, kaj potrebuje za zmago v boju…)
“Moram ohraniti nadzor nad borbo, zmanjšajte razdaljo in ohranite udarec. Popolna dominacija; Želim se dotakniti telesa zgodaj. Zelo rad se giblje, zato bomo vse to zmanjšali.”
(O morebitnih bodočih nasprotnikih…)
“Božja volja, vse gre prav pride April 16, radi bi se poenotili z Leejem Selbyjem. Če bi imel svojo izbiro, Najprej bi šel z Leejem Selbyjem za poenotenje. Takoj za tem, Hočem Lea Santa Cruza in potem potrebujem Lomachenka.
“Ne zanima me kje [Lomachenko] premika. Naslednjega lahko izgubi 10 pretepi, toda preden je moja kariera končana, me mora videti.”
PATRICK HYLAND
(O tem, kaj mu daje občutek zadovoljstva v boksu…)
“Boriti se za naslov WBC je vse, o čemer sem sanjal, odkar sem bil otrok, in vse trdo delo, ki sem ga vložil, da sem prišel do tega položaja, da bi se boril zanj.. Srečna sem in zdaj samo za to živim Sobota noč.”
(Kot prvi irski boksar po Barryju McGuiganu, ki je osvojil naslov svetovnega prvaka v perolahki kategoriji…)
“To je vihra in je super. Sem samo lokalni fant iz Johnstowna v Dublinu in se borim na velikem odru in se borim za velik svetovni naslov, in spet bi bil imenovan za drugega perolahkega, ki bi kdaj osvojil naslov svetovnega prvaka, bi bilo prav neverjetno; resnične sanje zase.”
(O Garyju Russlu…)
“Vem, da ima hitre roke. Je odličen levičar in odličen boksar, zato moram biti po svojih najboljših močeh v soboto noč za to. V telovadnici sem delal na načrtu igre, da bi preprečil njegovo hitrost rok in vse se mora združiti na noč borbe. Lahko naredim vse to in povem vse to, ampak moram samo nastopiti v soboto noč in to vložil tako, da sem naredil vse, na kar sem delal, da bi postal prvak.”
Jose Pedraza
(Na trening kampu…)
“Počutim se res dobro, smo v zadnjem delu kondicioniranja. Bil je zelo dolg in intenziven trening, vendar smo opazili izboljšave v mojih sposobnostih. Dolgo sem čakal, da pride ta dan in Smithu bomo pokazali, da sem orožje.
(O Stephenu Smithu…)
“Smith je zelo dober boksar, ima veliko sposobnosti in inteligence. Je boksar z zelo dobro obrambo, vendar že uporabljamo različne strategije, da lahko nevtraliziramo vse njegove sposobnosti.”
(O tem, kaj namerava pokazati v soboto…)
“S svojimi sposobnostmi, kot Sobota, Dokazal bom, da sem nad Smithom in da sem na ravni tega, kar sem, prvak. Skupni, Želim samo pripraviti predstavo in upam, da bodo oboževalci uživali v tej odlični kartici.”
(O tem, kaj se je naučil iz boja z Ednerjem Cherryjem…)
“Naučil sem se, kar sem vedno govoril in kaj sem vedno počel do danes, ki nikoli ne gleda. Nikoli ne gledam preveč videoposnetkov svojega nasprotnika, ker bi bil na dan boja lahko popolnoma drugačen borec in mislim, da se je to zgodilo takrat. Poleg tega, uporabil je odlično strategijo.”
(O njegovih mislih o drugih portoriških boksarjih…)
“Pravzaprav sem svetovni prvak tako kot Rocky Martinez; obstaja veliko portorikanskih možnosti. Všeč mi je [Felix] Verdejo, vendar ga še ne štejem za kandidata za naslov svetovnega prvaka. Z boksarjem prvenstvenega kalibra se še ni boril, je pa trenutno med najboljšimi borci v Portoriku.”
(Na drugih borbah, ki bi ga morda zanimale 130 funtov…)
“Vedno sem govoril, da se manj borim proti Portoričanom, boljše. Če je zadnja možnost, Boril se bom tudi s Portoričani, vendar razen tega Rockyja [Martinez] svetovni prvak, tu je Francisco Vargas, [Javier] Fortune, da naštejem nekaj, ki so na vrhu mojega seznama.”
STEPHEN SMITH
(Ko se je prvič boril v ZDA….)
“Jaz sem navdušena. Če želite narediti ime v boksu, potem boš to storil v zveznih državah in to nameravam narediti tako, da bom v soboto postal svetovni prvak.”
(O tem, kaj ve o Pedrazi…)
“Dobro, ne prav veliko. Njegovo ime poznam iz amaterskih dni. Je dobro uveljavljen, on je olimpijec in je nadarjen človek. Boj proti nekomu pomeni zmagati ali ne, presega taktiko, onkraj sloga in res nabor spretnosti. Verjamem, da imam vse, kar je potrebno, da se borim s komer koli in nič mi ne bo preprečilo, da bi postal svetovni prvak.”
(O tem, kaj mora storiti, da pride do zmage…)
“Lahko je drugačen boj; vemo, da ga rad zamenja in boksa iz različnih stališč. Očitno je nadarjen, tako da bo za vsako smer drugačen niz, a vemo, kaj lahko pričakujemo. Vse sem opravil s svojim trenerjem Joejem Gallagherjem in pripravljeni smo.”
(O tem, da sta njegova brata Liam in Callum prvaka in kaj bi lahko pomenilo, da bi se jim pridružil…)
“je posebno. Pred dvema tednoma sta Liam in Callum osvojila naslov evropskega prvaka in to mi samo daje samozavest, duha za pohod. Psihično sem v res dobrem položaju in ne bi se mogel počutiti bolje, ko grem v to. Po tem, ko je moj tabor uspešno potekal, le bolje se počutiš, ko postaneš svetovni prvak.”
(O britanskih prvakih v porastu v zadnjem letu…)
“Tam je veliko zgodovine in zame in za mojo družino, zato delamo tisto, kar smo si vedno želeli, in želimo iti naprej.”
TRENER JOE GALLAGHER
(Na trening kampu…)
“Dobro je bilo. Očitno je zavrelo do Callumove zmage. Obstaja dober zagon. Callum in nato Stephen imata priložnost za naslov svetovnega prvaka. S Stephenom je bil počasen vzpon, vendar ga je, kot jaz temu rečem "njegov finale svetovnega prvenstva".’ — nekaj, kar bo vzelo srce in moč. Njegova moč gre zelo dobro. Pedraza je zelo dober borec, dober pravoslavec, dobra južnica, lahko ga pomeša in pripravljeni smo na kateri koli slog, ki ga želi prinesti v soboto.”
(O procesu priprav na borca, kot je Pedraza…)
“To je nočna mora. Dovolj težko je, ko se boriš s kakovostnim pravoslavcem ali kakovostnim južnikom, katerega je, ampak ne samo to. Lahko boksa tudi na zadnji in na sprednji nogi, tako da smo različni sparing partnerji, med krogi mešamo sparinge, menjavanje stališč, in kakorkoli se želi Pedraza boriti ob koncu noči, Prepričan sem, da bomo imeli odgovor.”
(Glede na to, kako se bo boj odvijal po njegovem mnenju…)
“Mislim, da je to vse odvisno od Pedraze, se ozrem na nekaj njegovih bojev, boksa počasi in dobro začne, potem pa se zdi, da v rundah malo izgubi pot. Ko ga gledaš proti [Andrey] Klimov, začel je zelo dobro, ga zelo hitro spravil v manire in ga skoraj premagal v četrtem krogu, vendar [Andrey] uspel se zelo dobro obstati in zelo dobro boksati. Prišel je v srednje kroge, malo izgubil pot, zamenjal južnjak, tako da bo tako ali tako fascinantno. Poskrbeti moramo le, da nas ne ujamejo zgodaj, ko je hiter in oster ter poskuša v Stephena Smitha vnesti manire in ga nato odpeljati v globoke vode, kot je Edner Cherry.”
(Njegova napoved…)
“Stephen Smith. Po možnosti z nokautom. Ne, vsekakor z nokavtom.”
