VERONA, NY. – June 10, 2022 - Undefeated heavyweight knockout artistBakhodir Jalolovtook his time on Friday night, but ultimately closed the show in dramatic fashion with an eighth-round knockout overJack Mulowayiv glavnem primeru, da jeSHOBOX: New Generationtelecast at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, NY. that helped kick off the International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction Weekend in nearby Canastota, NY.

Known as “Big Uzbek”, the 6-foot-7 Jalolov, a two-time Olympian and 2020 Gold Medalist from Uzbekistan, improved to a perfect 11-0 s 11 KOs when he landed a huge left hand that sent Mulowayi (11-3-1, 7 Kos) flat on his back in the eighth and final round.

“I’m feeling really good about the performance,” said the 27-year-old Jalolov. “The opponent was at a really good level and a great fighter. He was a really tough, durable guy. I landed some big shots on him and he can take a punch.”

In front of a who’s who of boxing royalty including the likes of Andre Ward, Shane Mosley, Antonio Tarver and Terence Crawford, Jalolov put an exclamation mark on an exciting night of boxing during an historic weekend of Hall of Fame inductions which will include the last three classes of inductees during Sunday’s ceremony.

Jalolov was dominant throughout the entire fight, with the only question being whether or not he would continue his knockout streak. It looked likely in both the third and fifth rounds, as Jalolov wobbled Mulowayi but the game Belgium showed heart in making it out of both rounds unscathed. In the sixth round, Mulowayi was dropped for just the second time in his career by a left cross as the bell sounded. He rose to his feet and beat the count, but was knocked down for good with yet another signature left hand at 1:20 v zadnjem krogu.

“I thought I was going to stop him at the end of the sixth round when I dropped him, but the referee let him continue and the round was over,” said Jalolov, who was deducted a point for holding in the fourth round. “I thought that was the time. But I had to wait until the final round. I’m happy that I got the stoppage. I feel like I hurt him three or four times.”

Jalolov went past the fifth round for the first time in his career, pristanek 47 percent of his power punches and out-landing Mulowayi 99-17 in total punches.

V so-glavni dogodek, undefeated Dominican heavyweight prospectGeorge Arias(18-0, 7 Kos) won a tactical duel over previously unbeatenAlante Green(10-1-1, 7 Kos) via split-decision with scores of 78-74, 77-75 in favor of Arias and 77-75 for Green.

“I definitely learned more than anything from this fight so I give my performance a C-plus or a B-minus because this is the type of fight that makes me go back to the gym hungrier and knowing there’s a lot more to do,” said Arias, who now lives and trains out of the Bronx. “But we were blessed this time because should he have been a little bit stronger, things could have been more disastrous.”

Arias jumped out to a commanding lead in the first half of the fight, executing the game plan by outboxing Green and landing the cleaner, harder punches. Cleveland’s Green grew into the fight in the later rounds, but it was too little too late and Arias was able to do enough to hold off the late rally.

It was a difficult fight to score, as all three judges agreed on just two out of the eight rounds but the punch stats backed up the judges’ decision as Arias out-landed Green 81-58. Green became the 213th fighter to have his undefeated record spoiled onSHOBOX.

“Everyone who I face always trains for me a thousand percent better,” continued Arias. “He was real complete. He didn’t really necessarily have any weakness that I could exploit. The reaction time he had was really good and he had good inner footwork where it took me a little too long to get into a zone because every strategy I used he seemed to have a good reaction.”

In the telecast opener, undefeated lightweight prospectChann Thonson (11-0, 8 Kos) put on a boxing display, bruising, battering and eventually breaking down the previously undefeatedTyler Tomlin (13-1, 9 Kos) en route to a fifth-round TKO. Referee Mark Nelson stopped the action 1:01 v krogu.

“I knew if I stayed in the pocket with him that the shots I was going to give him would put him away,” said Canada’s Thonson, who is trained by former Olympic bronze medalist and light heavyweight contender Chris Johnson. “Surprisingly, he was a little tougher than I thought because when I hit him hard, he wasn’t taking a step back. So eventually I knew that would be his own demise and it was just a matter of time.”

Thonson, who was fighting for the fourth time in 2022, controlled the tempo and distance from the opening bell and looked like the more relaxed and experienced fighter. He used his jab and straight right hand to cause both swelling around Tomlin’s left eye and serious cause for concern in Tomlin’s corner. Prior to the start of the third round, Tomlin’s father and trainer Darryl urged his son to pick up the pace.

Vendar, it was Thonson who stepped on the gas even more. Late in the third round, Thonson landed a barrage of punches that hurt Tomlin and left his face a bloody mess. The sound of the bell temporarily saved Tomlin but his night would come to an end in the fifth round. Unable to avoid the constant punishment that Thonson was dishing out, the action was stopped after the ringside physician assessed Tomlin.

Skupni, Thonson landed 44 percent of his power punches and out-landed Tomlin 102-39 in total punches.

"Počutim se v redu, I feel like I was in the fight. I just got caught with two overhand rights and I’m pretty sure one of them either broke or fractured my nose,” said the 22-year-old Tomlin. “It was in the second or third round when I got caught. I felt and it threw off the game plan as far as what I was trying to do. I got a little more hesitant than I should have. I just can’t get hit by those overhand rights. SHOWTIME, that’s what they do, they put good fighters against good fighters. I felt like I was going to come out on top but we have to go back and watch film and see what comes next.”

Ustvarite odlično ponudbo tako, da dodate besede kot je “prost” “prilagojeno” “brezplačno” ali “prilagojeno.” Občutek nujnosti bralcem pogosto pomaga pri ukrepanju, zato razmislite o vstavljanju besednih zvez, kot je “samo za omejen čas” ali “samo 7 preostalih”!

Bill Verigan: »Ne glede na to, ali je boksar v dvorani slavnih ali ne, usposabljajo težko, trdo tekmovati in premagati težke izgube. Zelo sem, zelo hvaležna, da sem danes tukaj. Najlepša hvala."

(L-R) – Dave Diamante, Henry Hascup, Shannon Briggs, Bob Duffy & Tommy Gallagher

Shannon Briggs: »Gremo prvak! Gremo prvak. Gremo prvak. To je neverjetno. Odraščal sem v Brooklynu in živel v Brownsvillu. Tehtal sem manj kot 2 kilogramov, ko sem se rodil, in astmatik. Odraščanje v Brownsvillu so me ustrahovali, ampak uspelo mi je. Izgubili smo svoj dom. Težki časi odraščanja. Moral sem se boriti. Ne morem verjeti, da sem v dvorani slavnih. je rekla moja teta, ‘Uspelo nam bo.’ Danes je tukaj.

"Padel sem v boks. Nikoli se nisem ukvarjal s športom. Ne morem ujeti in še vedno ne morem driblati. Ko pa si nadenem rokavice, nekaj na meni se je spremenilo, in nihče mi ni mogel nič. Nič več ustrahovanja. Od spanja na vlaku ali v telovadnici sem prešel na potovanje po svetu. Nihče ni verjel vame, dokler ni rekel Vito Antuofermo, ‘Ta otrok je lahko nekaj.’ Pravkar sem se obrnil 50 in tukaj sem z Vitom. Zlate rokavice sem dobil, ko sem bil brezdomec. Vse to je nepričakovano. Nikoli si nisem mislil, da bom boksar. Nadel sem rokavice in se zaposlil. Začel sem zmagovati. Boks mi je pomagal ostati izven zapora, prodaja drog, ali teče po ulicah. Postal sem svetovni prvak v težki kategoriji. Pokličite vse, ki ste verjeli vame. Danes je veliko tukaj. Hvala, Fantje. Gremo prvak!»
John Turner.jpg
(L-R) – Jack Hirsch & John Turner

Johnny Turner: Rad bi se zahvalil vsem, ker ste me danes tukaj. Rad bi se zahvalil svojim trenerjem in Joeju DeGuardii, da sta verjela vame. Moj najbolj prestižni boj je bil z Wilfredom Benitezom, in bil sem v gibanju, 'Raging Bull.' Sem zelo srečen fant.«
Barnes.jpg
(L-R) – Diamante, Ryan O'Leary, Larry Barnes, Melvina Lathan & Bob Duffy

Larry Barnes: »Bom kratek; Ne morem se kosati s Shannon. Gremo prvak! Zelo sem vesel, da sem tukaj z vsemi temi prvaki. Rad bi se zahvalil vsem ljudem v boksu, da so verjeli vame. Nikoli nisem obupal. Most of all, Rad bi se zahvalil za vse trdo delo."
Bentt.jpg
(L-R) – Dave Diamante, Michael Bentt, Bobby Cassidy, Jr. & Bob Duffy

Michael Bentt: »Čudovito je biti nazaj v New Yorku. Sam nisem prišel sem. Rad bi se zahvalil štirim skupinam: moji mentorji, sponzorji in moderatorji, boksarice, ki so me navdihnile, in moji zavezniki. Bil sem kapetan ameriške boksarske ekipe in dobil sem klic, da bi sodeloval v filmu 'Ali' (igral je Sonnyja Listona). Mladi bi morali iskati ljudi, kot so tisti, ki so me navdihnili: Muhammad Ali, Mark Breland, Mike McCallum, Shannon Briggs, Evander Holyfield, Ronald Turner in Monte Barrett. Podžigali so moj plamen."
Diamond.jpg
(L-R) – Jill Diamond & JoAnn Aquilera

Jill Diamond: »Rad bi se zahvalil svojim dvema največjima mentorjema, Jose Suliaman in Joe Dwyer. Rad bi se zahvalil svoji newyorški družini, ki še vedno misli, da grem na zlate globuse namesto na zlate rokavice. In hvala moji družini WBC, ki me je sprejela, predvsem Mauricio Suliaman, ki je rekel, naj se nam pridruži. To vem v veliki boksarski družini, če je kdo koga prizadel, vedno bi pomagali. želim si, predvsem glede tega, kar se dogaja danes, drugi so uredili stvari v ringu kot mi. Svet bi bil boljši."
Mike Silver.jpg
(L-R) – Dave Diamante, Mike Silver, Bobby Cassidy, Jr. & Bob Duffy

Mike Silver: »Zelo sem ponižen in hvaležen izbirni komisiji boksarske hiše slavnih New Yorka, da sem prejel to čast. Tako razveseljivo je prihajati od vrstnikov. Boks je najbolj barvit šport. V svojih knjigah dajem svojo percepcijo, da je informativna, izobraževalni, in zabavno. Preiskoval sem kioske za novo revijo Ring in Boxing News. Spoštoval sem boksarje in se zaljubil v ta šport. Ena stvar se v boksu ne bo nikoli spremenila. V ringu gre za udarce, ne da bi bili zadeti, znanost o športu. Zgodbe boksarjev niso napisane. Jemlje jim kri, znoj in solze. In to se ne bo nikoli spremenilo."
Don Elbaum.jpg
(L-R) – Don & Kipp Elbaum

Don Elbaum: »Za to sem počaščen in hvaležen. Kakšen tek je bil tek, kaže. še vedno to počnem. Spomnim se, da sem prirejal predstave v Madison Square Garden. Noben šport nima svetovnih prvakov 1 na 1, kot je boks. Mnoge države imajo kralje, ampak v boksu je samo eden, in to je svetovni prvak v težki kategoriji."
Donny Lolonde.jpg
(L-R) – Tommy Gallagher, Donny Lalonde & Bobby Cassidy, Jr.

Donny Lalonde: »Tukaj bi bil brez Bobbyja Cassidyja. Bobby Cassidy, Sr. je bil številka ena v lahki težki kategoriji na svetu. Bil je tudi trener, ki me je naučil, kaj je potrebno biti boksar. Zdaj, Z njim in njegovim sinom sem v newyorški hiši slavnih, Bobby Cassidy, Jr. Bil sem iz Kanade, in rekli so mi, da je biti prvak od tam ničvredno. Ko odrasteš v porušenem domu, res potrebuješ nekoga, ki verjame vate. Don Majeski je verjel vame. Tommy Gallagher in Bobby Cassidy sta mi dvignila duha. Bil sem pripravljen sprejeti svet. Vsi so rekli, da nimam nobenega posla, da sem v sporu z Eddiejem Davisom, potem ko je šel 15 kroge z Michaelom Spinksom. Nokautirala sem ga 22 sekunde v drugem krogu za osvojitev naslova svetovnega prvaka. Hvala Državni boksarski dvorani slavnih New Yorka, da sem tukaj."
Verderosa.jpg
(L-R – Janez & Wiliam Verderosa

John Verderosa: »Cenim priznanja. To je fantastično. Štirideset let pozneje, v glavi mi je, da se me ljudje spominjajo tako dolgo nazaj. tako sem počaščen. Najlepša hvala."

Silva confident ahead of Seldin showdown

Silva 2.jpg


St. Petersburg, FL (Oktober 7, 2021) –Willian “Baby Face” Silva will battle Cletus “Hebrew Hammer” Seldin for the NABA Super Lightweight title Saturday, Oktober 16 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

One of New York’s most popular fighters, Seldin will be fighting for the 22nd time in the Empire State. The Long Island native enters the ring with an excellent 25-1 zapis in 21 wins by stoppage. Notable fighters he’s defeated include Zab Judah and Roberto Ortiz.

A win by Seldin brings him closer to a world title shot but Silva has other plans.

“This is a great opportunity and I’m going to make the most of,” Silva said from his training camp in St. Petersburg, FL. “Seldin is a good opponent but I have the necessary skills to have my hands raised on October 16. I also know a win in this fight would prove that I am among the best fighters in my division and move me closer to my goal of winning a world title.”

Silva’s manager, Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Management, is excited and believes his fighter will emerge victorious.

“Willian was actually scheduled to fight in October 16 in Florida before this fight came together. It’s almost as if this was meant to happen and I know Silva has what it takes to pull this out. He’s training with Hall of Fame coach Jim McLaughlin, who’s brought out the best in him. Seldin is in for a big surprise

The bout airs live on Triller and precedes the Verzuz battle between hip hop legends Big Daddy Kane and KRS-One. Both fighters are promoted by Star Boxing.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Marec 8, 2021) – In the 2019 USA National Boxing ChampionshipsAmir Anderson was a relatively unknown competitor from Syracuse (NY), but this year he believes he’s one of the “top dogs” in the 165-pound decision.

Anderson will be competing in the youth division at the 2020 ZDA boks prvenstvo, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 April 3, in Shreveport, .

Anderson’s goal at these championships is simple: he wants to win to lock down a slot on the USA Boxing Youth Team, which will give him a leg up in terms of qualifying for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

“The winner in each weight class qualifies for the USA Boxing Youth Team,” he explained. “Runner-ups are alternates and can make the team if the winner can’t for whatever reason. Hočem zmagati! 

“Last time I had nothing to lose at Nationals. Zdaj, I have everything to lose. I do my research and breakdown other fighters in my weight class. I’ll be more focused this time because I was an underdog then and now, I’m the top dog in my division.”

The 17-year-old Anderson has already tasted success, capturing top honors at the 2019 Junior Open and 2019 Eastern Regional Open, in addition to finishing in the runner-up position at the 2018 & 2019 National Junior Olympics.

Still a high school senior, Amir describes himself as an all-around boxer with a unique style in which he can box or bang, hit the angles and throw a lot of punches.

Like every amateur boxer, last year was a tremendous challenge to train, due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. “I trained six hours a day in my basement to get in really good workouts,” Anderson said. “And I ran my miles, preveč. When my gym opened-up last July 2nd, it was limited so I had to still workout in my basement. It was hard to stay focused, but I knew how.

“I really planned to win a lot of regional and national tournaments to get national recognition. I wanted to fight in Bulgaria with the junior team, but that was canceled, preveč. The pandemic was a setback for me, but we’ll see what’s in store for 2021.”

The National Championships is the first trip towards Amir Anderson’s Parisian goal for 2024 at the Olympics.

Split-T Management’s Christopher Pearson ready for anyone at 160 ali 168 lbs.

NEW YORK (Julij 28, 2020) – Surging middleweight contender Christopher Pearson is ready for a breakthrough performance against any of the top names at 160 ali 168 divisions.


Pearson of Trotwood, Ohio, is managed by Split-T Management, and he recently moved to San Antonio, Texas, ima zapis 17-2, and is riding a three-fight winning streak which includes a win over former Olympic Bronze Medal winner and undefeated Yamaguchi Falcao.


Pearson, who trains in Los Angeles under world-championship trainer Manny Robles, has already begun preparations for his next assignment.


I started training down here in San Antonio at Jesse James Leija’s gym. I just moved down here, and it took a minute to find a gym, but once the gym opened, this is a great place to be. I will go to Los Angeles on July 30th and start with Manny,” said Pearson.


Pearson, who began his career with 13 zaporednih zmag, feels that he is a stern challenge for anybody at middleweight or super middleweight.


I am looking to fight the best in those two divisions,and solidify myself as the best in the sport. I feel that that the 2nd half of my career is proving that I am the best.


The Falcao fight proved that Pearson can fight anyone in those divisions, and despite getting a late call for the fight, he performed at a high-level to come home with the emphatic unanimous decision victory.


I took that fight on four weeks notice. I am not short on confidence, and I know what I am capable of doing.


Recently Pearson had his named mentioned for a showdown with Canelo Alvarez, and he believes that Canelo’s handlers were not too keen in a fight with the 29 year-old Pearson.

I know that I am one of four or five guys from Golden Boy Promotions that was offered that fight. Out of all of those guys, they must of looked at me as a high-risk, low-reward fight. Fighting me is dangerous. They know me, because I have sparred with him, and he knows what I am capable of.

Canelo is a counter-puncher, but he is not better then me in the department. He has more power, but he is not as capable as me. Ko pridemo v ringu, anything can happen..especially at 168 funtov.”

Another fight that I would like to get is with Jaime Munguia. He is at 160 pounds now. I can outclass him. I don’t see anything special about him. If it takes beating other fighters like David Lemieux or Taureano Johnson to get those fights, then bring them on. Right now I am ready to take on anyone.

Pearson is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.

NEW YORK – April 14, 2020 – This week’s installment of the digital podcast seriesSHOWTIME BOXING WITH ERIC RASKIN AND KIERAN MULVANEY features heavyweight contender Otto Wallin, who recently recovered from COVID-19, and promoter Dmitriy Salita in an interview about life in quarantine and the effect the virus has had on the sport of boxing.

Click the following link to listen to the full episodehttps://s.sho.com/3bkvFp1.

Excerpts from the episode:

On COVID-19 and its effect on the sport of boxing…

Beseda – “It’s a really unpredictable environment right now. Boxing is an international sport. Now more than ever, fighters come to the U.S. from all over to train and fight. It’s really important that the whole world heals so that things can go back to normal.”

Wallin“This virus is very serious. People are dying – people from the gym have died. I didn’t have many symptoms when I had it, but it spread to my mother’s boyfriend who is a diabetic and he was very ill. When you are home, don’t just stay on the couch. You have to come up with ideas to keep yourself busy and do something.”

On staying in shape during quarantine…

Wallin“I am trying to make the best of the situation, and I can do a lot with what I have now. It’s working alright. I do some boxing punching on the wall and lots of shadow boxing.”

On Salita Promotions’ Train Like a Boxer YouTube Series…

Beseda – “We were thinking of ways to keep connections between the fighters and the fans. Everyone is stuck at home, no one can go to work and it’s important to stay healthy and active. We thought we could let the fans know about what the fighters are doing at home and keep communication between everyone going.”

On what’s next for Wallin…

Beseda – “In the fight with [Tyson] Fury you can see how amazing his performance was. Numbers don’t lie, Otto landed more punches against Fury than any opponent including [Vladimir] Klitschko and [Deontay] Wilder –in the first fight. Otto is a world-class fighter, and hopefully we get back to business and he can show that he is one of the best heavyweights in the world.”

On Chavez vs. Randall II…

Farhood“I think it was a sign Chavez was getting to the end, he was only 31 but he had 90 fights and I think Randall got him at the right time. Watching Randall in both fights boxing so well reminded me a bit of Buster Douglas against [Mike] Tyson. This guy didn’t give you anything to think he could do something like this – just boxing beautifully. I thought Randall probably deserved the rematch decision by a point, but it was a very close fight.”

We’re not in the position to give each applicant a large stipend,  but we are able to provide a small payment to temporarily help them a little bit. We’re committed to doing this for the month of April, at the very least, and then we’ll will revisit extending payments until boxing returns, as long as there is money available in this fund. It’s the right thing to do

“Ring 8 is furthering our goals to assist boxers and boxing people in New York during this crisis,” Ring 8 president Charlie Norkus, Jr. added. “It has been our mission since the very beginning. We are pleased to join the New York Boxing Hall of Fame in this endeavor.”

BRANDUN LEE CONTINUES IMPRESSIVE START TO CAREER WITH THIRD-ROUND TKO OVER CAMILO PRIETO IN THE MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION FRIDAY ON SHOWTIME®

HINCKLEY, MINN. – March 14, 2020 - Undefeated 20-year-old super lightweight prospect Brandun Lee continued the impressive start to his career by scoring a third-round TKO over 33-year-old challenger Camilo Prieto in the ShoBox: New Generation main event Friday night from Hinckley Grand Casino in Hinckley, Od.



The knockout artist Lee, who had stopped 16 za njegov prvi 18 professional opponents, eased into Friday’s main event, seeking to take his time and add more rounds to his resume. But after just two rounds, Lee (19-0, 17 Kos) stunned the mobile but overly defensive Prieto (15-3, 10 Kos) with a combination. Lee sensed he had injured his opponent and turned on the jets, scoring the TKO after unleashing a multi-punch barrage against the defenseless and against-the-ropes Prieto.



In a night where the four bouts were contested solely in front of the fighters’ friends and family, referee Mark Nelson intervened to stop the main event at the 2:34 mark of round number three. The numbers reflected the lopsidedness of the fight as Lee led 53-9 in overall punches landed, 17-8 in jabs connected and 36-1 on power shots. Lee landed more power shots in the fight (36) than Prieto attempted (34).



“I don’t think this was any kind of learning experience for Lee,” said SHOWTIME’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. “He needs tougher, more accomplished opponents who can at least give him rounds, if not a competitive fight.”



“I shouldn’t have gone three rounds with that guy,” said Lee, who was fighting on ShoBox for the second time. “I should have gotten him out of there in 40 seconds or a minute tops. But the guy had a game plan and his coach is a former world champion [Glen Johnson] who knew I hadn’t ever been past the fourth round. He was just trying to tire me out. No one wants to watch two guys looking at each other. My defense was a nine out of 10 Nocoj. But overall I give myself a C-minus. I want to take it to the next level and I’m just super grateful to SHOWTIME and ShoBox for giving me these opportunities.”



V co-izrazit dvoboj, an all-action affair between undefeated prospect Brian Norman, Jr. (17-0, 14 Kos) and Flavio Rodriguez (9-2-1, 7 Kos) was cut short after an accidental headbutt caused a deep vertical laceration on the forehead of Rodriguez. At the advice of the ringside physician, referee Gary Miezwa stopped the fight at 57 seconds of round number seven. The fight went to the judges’ scorecards with the technical unanimous decision going in Norman’s favor, 69-64 in 68-65 dvakrat.



Norman broke open a competitive fight by out-landing Rodriguez 79-35 overall and 73-20 in power punches in rounds five through seven, a reflection of Norman’s superior activity (72.4 punches per round to Rodriguez’s 54.4), accuracy (33%-29% Skupni, 44%-32% moč) and body punching (67-50 in connects).



The 19-year-old Norman, who turned pro at the age of 17 and is trained by his father and former pro fighter Brian Norman Sr., showed the skills that give him the reputation of a highly-regarded prospect, but still left the fight feeling unsatisfied.



“That headbutt was right before the knockout,” said Norman. “I’m pretty sure everybody saw it. That boy was dead but I give him respect. I believe that seventh round was the knockout round, either by TKO or knockout. I had him dead the round before and drained all the energy out of him.”



“I know I won more rounds than that,” said the 29-year-old Rodriguez, who also feels a knockout was imminent, but in his favor. “I definitely know I won more rounds. I was hitting him with power shots and if we didn’t have that accidental headbutt I felt I could have gotten him out of there.”



In the second fight of the four-fight telecast, undefeated lightweight prospect Alejandro “Pork Chop” Guerrero (12-0, 9 Kos) won a closely-contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo (12-2, 5 Kos). The judges scored the fight 76-76, 79-73 in 78-74.



In the highly entertaining fight that pitted the aggressive Guerrero against the counter-punching Angulo, two of the judges were seemingly impressed more by Guerrero’s aggression and slightly better power punching (he led 109-104 in power punch connects) than by Angulo’s activity (89.3 punches per round to Guerrero’s 68.9), mobility and diverse combination punching.



With both men going past six rounds for the first time in their careers, it was Guerrero who was able to finish with more energy. He hurt Angulo with a strong right hand in the sixth round and nearly closed the show late in the eighth and final round, but the Ecuadorian who was making his U.S. debut was able to stay on his feet.



“That was probably the toughest fight I’ve had,” said the 22-year-old Guerrero. “I’ve fought at 140 before so his punch power wasn’t too much. Just his heart; you can tell when a fighter has heart and they just want to sit there and bang it out. I didn’t think it was an even fight. I was landing the better shots and I was the better man out there. I gave myself a seven. I can do way better. I just need more conditioning. Whoever’s next, I’ll take on the best in my weight division.”



In a battle of unbeaten featherweights making their ShoBox debuts in the telecast opener, Armenian Olympian Aram Avagyan (10-0-1, 4 Kos) overcame knockdowns in both the first and second rounds to earn a hard-fought majority decision over Dominican Republic’s Dagoberto Aguero (15-1, 10 Kos). Sodniki dosegel dvoboj 75-75, 76-74 in 77-74.



For the second consecutive fight, Avagyan, who is trained by SugarHill Steward at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit, started slow and was knocked down in the first round. The 29-year-old also hit the canvas in round two when Aguero connected on a chopping overhand right. Starting in the third round, through an impressive body attack (98-42 in connects), better power accuracy (39%-35%) and his ability to induce a rugged inside fight, Avagyan was able to gradually empty the gas tank of Aguero, who had never been past six rounds.



A heavy right cross appeared to score a knockdown of Aguero in the seventh, but referee Gary Ritter ruled it a slip. Aguero led 55-24 in overall connects and 55-20 in power punches landed after two rounds, but Avagyan came on strong in rounds six through eight (83-44 Skupni, 80-48 moč) to score the comeback victory. Aguero became the 192nd fighter to lose their undefeated record on ShoBox.



“After the second knockdown I just knew I needed to settle down and it would be okay,” said Avagyan. “I had to just come back strong and keep applying the pressure and I did that. The knockdowns were big on points so I knew it would be tough to come back. I thought the performance was just okay. I can show more, and I will in the future.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Salita Promotions in association with D & D Boxing. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Marec 16 pri 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

“Brandun is a beast,” said Ennis, who has fought on SHOWTIME in four of his last five fights. “He’s a phenomenal fighter and he’s going to put on a show Friday night. I think he’ll be able to show boxing fans all his skills. He’s a monster. Him being a calm and relaxed fighter sets him apart. He’s really smart as well and has great ring IQ, but you can’t forget about his power because he has the ability to end fights early.”

I believe Lee has the goods to become a world champion and at this point he is still gaining experience and momentum towards his dream.



“There are still questions that need to be answered by Lee. How will he respond if he is ever knocked down? How will he do against someone just like himself; someone undefeated, stern and just as hungry? It’s going to be fun to watch him as he continues his journey. He has the skill to rise to the top but we all know it takes more than just skills. He’s on the right course and I back him 110 odstotkov. "

Lee has also sparred with Oxnard, Calif.’s Mikey Garcia, who has fought on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING six times, and Mauricio Herrera, who lost a close decision to then-unified champion Danny Garcia on SHOWTIME in 2014.
