V Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® karta tripleheader, 23-ročný Benavídez (23-0, 20 KO) - ktorý v piatok stratil opasok svetového titulu WBC na stupnici - dosiahol medzičasové víťazstvo proti bývalému vyzývateľovi na titul Angulo Angulo (26-2, 22 KO), ktorého roh hodil uterák po 10th kolo.

"Hodnotím sa ako solídnych osem.",”Povedal Benavidez. "Niektoré veci som mohol urobiť lepšie.", ale celkovo to bol skvelý výkon. Nechcel som ísť príliš rýchlo a nechať sa odhalené pre nejaké veľké zábery. Je to ťažký úderník. Ale ako som povedal,, Rád robím veci, ktoré nikdy nikto neurobil. Nikto ho nikdy nezastavil a som si istý, že už ho nikto nikdy nenechá vyzerať tak. Zbúral som ho z prvého na 10. kolo. “

Sedemročný profesionál vo veku 23, Benavidez pristál 56 percent jeho úderov mocou v boji a priemer 29 na 70 údery hodené za kolo. Benavidez ukončil šou dosiahnutím kariérneho maxima 54 údery do guľatiny 10.

Kolumbijské Angulo, teraz bojuje z Miami, Fla., vstúpil do svojej druhej príležitosti titulu majstra sveta v sérii víťazných troch bojov, ale nedokázal čeliť ničomu, čo naňho Benavidez hodil.

Benavidez uviedol, že bol sklamaný a trápny z toho, že v piatok neurobil váhovú hranicu 168 libier. "Všetko, čo o mne všetci hovorili, je pravda.",”Povedal Benavidez. "Mal by som byť profesionál a prísť na váhu.", ale tentoraz som to nedokázal. Je to prvýkrát, čo som nepripravil váhu za osem rokov profesionality. “

"Naozaj musím hovoriť so svojím promotérom, aby som zistil, čo bude ďalej.",”Dodal Benavidez. "Budem bojovať s kýmkoľvek, aby som sa vrátil na miesto, kde som bol.". Na tomto predstavení ste dnes večer mohli vidieť, Mohol by som podať skvelý výkon proti komukoľvek a ľudia za to zaplatia. Pravdepodobne sa vrátim späť do tréningového tábora, aby mi nechýbala váha. “

V čo-hlavné udalosti, stúpajúci ľahký Rolando “Rolly” Romero (12-0, 10 KO) dosiahol kontroverzné jednomyseľné rozhodnutie nad dovtedajším neporazeným Jacksonom Maríñezom (19-1, 7 KO) na zachytenie dočasného titulu WBA Lightweight. Skóre sa 115-113, 116-112 a 118-110, všetko v prospech Romera.

Príbehom zápasu boli Maríñezove spoľahlivé pokusy, keď dominikánsky bojovník vyhral bitku v tomto oddelení (14 percent v porovnaní s Romero 10 percento). Bol to Romero, však, ktorý mal výhodu v pripájaní napájacích razníkov 24 percento (31 na 228) v porovnaní s 18 percent pre Maríñeza (72 na 401).

"Nemyslím si, že som mal zlý výkon.",”Povedal Romero, ktorý sebavedome predpovedal brutálny knokaut, ukončí zápas vo svojich komentároch pred bojom. "Myslel som si, že som boj vyhral.". Bez ohľadu na všetko, Teraz som svetový šampión. Som šťastný. "

Romero utrpel v deviatom kole na zadku hlavy mierny rez nad ľavým okom, ale nezdalo sa, že by to malo vplyv na jeho výkon v majstrovských kolách. "Vyšiel o niečo tvrdší a úhľadnejší ako som si myslel.",”Povedal Romero. "Ale jediné, čo urobil, bol pohyb po celom boji.". Ani sa neskúšal zapojiť. Je ťažké vyradiť niekoho, kto sa nesnaží zaujať. Viackrát som mu ublížil strelami do tela a niekoľkými hákmi. V jednej chvíli som mu ublížil pravou rukou a on mi stiahol hlavu. Bolo ťažké ho dokončiť.

"Jo, [Dal by som mu odvetu]. Nerobil nič zvláštne. “

29-ročný Maríñez, ktorý je držiteľom titulu WBA č. 6 poradie, trénuje Robert Garcia, ktorý nebol prítomný v Maríñezovom rohu a rozhodol sa necestovať krížom-krážom zo svojho domova v južnej Kalifornii.

"To bola čistá lúpež.",”Povedal Maríñez. "Boj som vyhral.". Vybuchol som, vyboxoval ho. Dalo by sa povedať, že si nemyslel, že boj vyhral hneď potom. Je to lúpež. “

V úvodnom zápase na televízne vysielanie, uchádzač v ťažkej váhe Otto Wallin zaznamenal TKO pri 2:32 piateho kola proti Travisovi Kauffmanovi, ktorý si na začiatku piateho kola pretrhol ľavé labrum a nedokázal zdvihnúť ruku. Rozhodca Michael Ortega naznačil koniec zápasu a potom Kauffman oznámil, že odchádza z boxu, len niekoľko dní pred jeho 35th narodeniny.

29-ročný Wallin (21-1, 14 KO) ktorý mal pred Kauffmanom výškovú výhodu o štyri palce, uviedol, že sa cítil k zranenému Kauffmanovi, ale dominoval v boji. "Rozbíjal som ho.". Zostalo mi veľa,“Povedal Wallin. "Škoda, že si nakoniec poranil rameno.", ale zlomil som ho a zasiahol ho dobrými čistými strelami. “

Wallin vyzeral pri návrate do ringu ostro po prvýkrát, pretože v septembri takmer porazil Tysona Furyho 2019. Pristál 12 vpichy za kolo a 54 percent jeho streleckých zásahov počas celého zápasu. V súčasnosti žije v New Yorku a pôvodne zastupoval svoj rodný Sundsvall, Švédsko, Wallin mal vo svojom rohu pre zápas bývalého šampióna Joeyho Gamache.

Obaja bojovníci sa v nedávnej minulosti zotavili zo zranenia, rovnako ako vírus COVID-19. "Necítil som nič z COVIDU.",“Povedal Wallin. "Mal som skvelý tréning.". V marci mi bolo zle, ale COVID ma veľmi nezasiahol. bol som šťastný. Je mi ľúto všetkých, ktorí prišli o život kvôli COVIDU.

"Chcem sa vrátiť späť do New Yorku a trochu si oddýchnuť.". Teraz už trénujem dlho, takmer rok. Takže si chcem trochu oddýchnuť a dúfam, že do konca roka budem môcť opäť bojovať. “

Tridsaťštyriročný Kauffman (32-4, 23 KO) z Readingu, Pa., bojoval prvýkrát za päť rokov a sedem bojov bez svojho trénera Naazima Richardsona, ktorý nečakane zomrel minulý mesiac. Po boji, Kauffman uviedol, že odchádza z boxu.

"Roztrhol som si ľavé labrum a chystal sa na." [Luis] Ortiz boj,”Povedal Kauffman. "Ako atrapa.", Po Ortizovom boji som čakal päť mesiacov na operáciu [Decembra 2018]. Začal som sa cítiť lepšie a v marci som sa chystal naladiť zápas, ale potom sa stalo COVID. Táto príležitosť sa naskytla a ja som ju nechcel premeškať a cítil som sa dobre. V prvom kole som to zranil. cítil som to, ale potom to odišlo a myslel som si, že je to možno len moja myseľ a odišlo to. Potom v piatom kole som to začul a bolo to. Opäť sa to roztrhlo.

"Som hotový. Odchádzam do dôchodku. Mam deti. Robím to už dlho,”Povedal Kauffman.

„David Benavídez sa bude usilovať o to, aby si svoj dokonalý záznam zachoval, pokračovať v predvádzaní svojho superhviezdneho potenciálu a ďalej upevňovať svoje postavenie v naskladanej divízii s hmotnosťou 168 libier,”Povedal Tom Brown, Prezident TGB Promotions. "Ako neporazený svetový šampión.", Benavídez môže očakávať veľkú výzvu od Alexisa Angula, ktorá by mala vytvoriť hlavnú udalosť nabitú akciami v SHOWTIME. V kombinácii s bitkou hladných neporaziteľných ľahkých váh vo filmoch ‘Rolly’ Romero a Jackson Maríñez, plus slugfest ťažkej váhy medzi Ottom Wallinom a Travisom Kauffmanom, z toho bude ďalší a nemôže chýbať noc akcie s vysokými vkladmi. “

„Bude úžasné byť v rohu Davidovej„ El Bandera Roja “Benavídeza v bojovej noci,”Uviedol Sampson Lewkowicz zo spoločnosti Sampson Boxing, ktorý sa zotavuje z nedávnej operácie. "Cítim sa tak dobre a tak silno a skutočne sa nemôžem dočkať, kedy tam budem, aby som podporil najmladšieho šampióna super strednej váhy v histórii."

Akciu propagujú spoločnosti TGB Promotions a Sampson Boxing. Romero vs. Zápas Maríñez spolu propaguje spoločnosť Mayweather Promotions.

23-ročný Benavídez (22-0, 19 KO) bráni opasok po tom, čo v septembri porazil dvojnásobného šampióna v superťažkej váhe Anthonyho Dirrella, zastavil ho v deviatich kolách. Benavideza trénuje jeho otec José starší., po boku svojho brata a bývalého vyzývateľa na titul, Jose ml. V 2017, sa stal najmladším šampiónom super strednej váhy v histórii boxu porazením Ronalda Gavrila v čase SHOWTIME 20 rokov. Predstavuje svoj rodný Phoenix, Ariz. Benavídez odišiel z 15-ročného zázračného zápasu s Gennadijom Golovkinom a Petrom Quillinom, uchádzačom o svetový titul s vyraďovacou šnúrou z 10 bojov od 2015 cez 2017, vrátane knokautu Rogelia Medinu so zvýraznením valca so sedembodovou kombináciou, ktorá mu vyniesla prvý majstrovský zápas.

"Je to už takmer rok, čo som naposledy bojoval.", takže sa veľmi túžim vrátiť späť do ringu a dať fanúšikom skvelý boj,”Povedal Benavídez. „Výcvikový tábor bol úžasný. Našťastie, môj otec si tesne pred pandémiou otvoril vlastnú telocvičňu, absolvovali sme súkromné ​​školenie a mohli sme bezpečne priviesť sparingpartnerov, ktorí mi pomôžu pracovať. Čelím veľmi zložitému a drsnému bojovníkovi, takže ho beriem veľmi vážne. Mám pocit, že môžem využiť niektoré otvory v jeho obrane a hľadať vypadnutie ako v každom súboji. “

Narodený v El Bordo, Kolumbia a teraz bojujú z Miami, Fla., Angulo (26-1, 22 KO) vstupuje do svojej druhej príležitosti na získanie titulu majstra sveta v sérii víťazných víťazstiev v troch bojoch, vrátane dvoch triumfov nad predtým neporazenými bojovníkmi. Angulo zastavil Reinalda Gonzaleza 2018 vo svojom prvom súboji od straty rozhodnutia o vtedajšom šampiónovi superhviezdy strednej váhy Gilberto Ramirezovi začiatkom toho roku. Rozhodujúce víťazstvo zaznamenal tento rok v januári nad Anthonym Simsom ml. postaviť sa do pozície, v ktorej môže opäť vyzvať najlepších v tejto divízii.

"Som pripravený na všetko, čo sa 15. augusta stane v ringu," uviedol Angulo. „Pre fanúšikov to bude veľký boj kvôli štýlu, ktorý prinášam do ringu. Benavidez je silný šampión, ale môj štýl bude pre neho príliš veľký a budem mať v noci zdvihnutú ruku. “

Boj z Las Vegas, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 KO) pridal k svojmu zhode v roku tri víťazstvá knockoutu 2019 pred jeho 2020 debutu ho vo februári zastavil predtým neporazený Arturs Ahmetovs. Rýchlo rastúca vyhliadka v stajni Mayweather Promotions, 24-ročný mladík je zaradený na č. 10 WBA a bude sa snažiť v auguste predĺžiť svoju vyraďovaciu sériu šiestich bojov 15.

“Je to skvelý pocit, vrátiť sa do ringu a bojovať o takúto skvelú príležitosť,”Povedal Romero. "Toto bol najlepší tábor v mojej kariére.", a poviem len toto, ak vás pandémia brzdí v tréningu, potom to nechcete mať dosť zlé. Už teraz verím, že by som tu mal byť s najlepšími ľuďmi, ale svet v skutočnosti uvidí, že som ten, za koho hovorím. Som si istý svojimi bojovnými schopnosťami a mám najlepšie v odbore, Floyd Mayweather, za mnou. Myslím si, že tento boj sa skončí pomerne rýchlo, ale uvidíte vo mne rast ako bojovníka. Toto je ďalší boj, ktorý ďalej preukáže, že tu zostanem. Zaregistrujte sa do KO!”

"Pre Rolanda je to veľký krok vpred.", a čakal na príležitosť predviesť svoj talent,”Povedal Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. "Má pred sebou veľkú skúšku, aby sa osvedčil.". Toto bude ďalší, ktorý si nenechajte ujsť, takže si v sobotu nalaďte SHOWTIME, 15. augusta. “

29-ročný Maríñez (19-0, 7 KO) je držiteľom titulu WBA č. 6 poradie, which he earned with victories over Rolando Giono and Kenin Betancourt while picking up eight wins between 2018 a 2019. Representing his native Santo Domingo, Dominikánska republika, Maríñez was successful in his U.S. debut in December of last year, stopping Yardley Armenta Cruz in two rounds.

“I’ve had a great training camp for this fight,” said Maríñez. “I’ve been sparring with Vergil Ortiz and Jose Ramirez, plus other fighters in Robert Garcia’s gym, and it’s gotten me ready to step into the ring. I know that Romero is a tough and durable fighter, so it won’t be easy, but I’m going to do anything I can to bring the title back home.”

Wallin (20-1, 13 KO) will return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019, keď otvoril príšerný rez cez pravé oko Furyho legálnym úderom, ktorý takmer zastavil boj. Zatiaľ čo 29-ročný muž stratil rozhodnutie, preukázal svoje odhodlanie ako potenciálny budúci šampión v ťažkej váhe. Zastupujúci svoj rodný Sundsvall, Švédsko, Wallin trénuje v New Yorku s bývalým šampiónom Joey Gamache.

"Som veľmi šťastný, že som konečne späť v ringu.",”Povedal Wallin. "Bol to v mnohých ohľadoch dlhý a šialený rok a je to skvelý pocit, keď sa chystám ustúpiť do ringu.". Od boja s Fury som vytrvalo trénoval a mám pocit, že som svoju hru vyvinul mnohými spôsobmi. Kauffman je tvrdý veterán, ktorý môže prísť dopredu alebo boxovať, ak chce. Je bojovníkom priateľským k fanúšikom a ja musím byť neustále pripravený. Máme ako vždy skvelý herný plán a som vo vynikajúcej forme. Viem, že mám všetky nástroje na to, aby som Kauffmana porazil. “

Veterán krajiny ťažkej váhy, Kauffman (32-3, 23 KO) vlastní knihu, ktorá obsahuje výzvy najvyšších váh vrátane Luisa Ortiza, Chris Arreola a Amir Mansour, okrem iného. Čítanie, Rodák z Pensylvánie prehral svoj posledný zápas s Ortizom, nasledujúce a 2018 triumf nad Scottom Alexandrom.

"Toto je moje prvé sústredenie po siedmich rokoch bez brata Naazima Richardsona.", ale viem, že by nechcel, aby som opustil tábor a chcel by som, aby som sa sústredil,”Povedal Kauffman. "Nechať ho zomrieť, keď som bol v tábore, bola jedna z najťažších vecí, s ktorými som sa musel vyrovnať.", ale v každom tábore, ktorý som mal, sú nepriazne. Necítil by som sa dobre, keby nebolo ťažkosti prekonať. Môj otec, Marshall, ustúpil ako hlavný tréner. Vieme, že čelíme mladému človeku, hladný bojovník, ale mám viac skúseností ako on a nemyslím si, že vydrží 10 keď som na, za mnou 100% akoby som bol 15. augusta. “

Medzi ďalšie akcie mimo televízneho vysielania bude patriť super uchazeč strednej váhyAlantez Fox(26-2-1, 12 KO) bojuje s GhanouHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 KO) v osemkolovej atrakcii.

“Saturday, Marec 28 is going to be a night full of exciting action headlined by Mexican knockout artist Luis Nery beginning his path toward a world title at super bantamweight against an undefeated Mexican contender in Aaron Alameda,”Povedal Tom Brown, Prezident TGB Promotions. “Adding in the heavyweight showdown between Otto Wallin and Lucas Browne, plus a rematch of young light heavyweights Joseph George and Marcos Escudero, fight night at Park MGM in Las Vegas is sure to deliver explosive battles from start to finish.”

Nery (30-0, 24 KO) is a power puncher who has stopped his last 11 opponents and 15 z jeho poslednej 16. The 25-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico scored a dominant stoppage victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo in March and returned in July to stop former champion Juan Carlos Payano. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka to win the bantamweight world title in 2018 and will now move up to 122 pounds to seek a world title in a second weight class.

“I’m excited to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m planning on another knockout victory to prove to everyone that I’m one of the kings of the super bantamweight division,” said Nery. “I know that I can knock out any fighter at 118 alebo 122 libier, and I’m hungrier than ever to prove that I’m one of boxing’s great Mexican champions. My goal is to continue to put on great performances for the fans and I’m ready to fight anyone who is willing to step up to the challenge.”

Representing Sonora, Mexiko, Alameda (25-0, 13 KO) is unbeaten since turning pro in 2014 after a strong amateur career, and will step up in competition as he faces Nery for a shot at a world title bout. The 26-year-old is ranked No. 12 by the WBC and most recently knocked out Jordan Escobar in April 2019, after three victories in 2018. Alameda will fight in the U.S. for the second time when he enters the ring on March 28, after scoring a body shot knockout over Andre Wilson in a January 2016 bout in Los Angeles.

“I’m very excited to be making my SHOWTIME debut in the main event against a great fighter,” said Alameda. “All of the years of training and fighting have brought me to this fight on March 28. Nery is a Mexican warrior like myself and I can’t wait to lock horns with him and give the fans great action all the way until the final bell.”

29-ročný Wallin (20-1, 13 KO) will return to the ring in Las Vegas, where he nearly defeated former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in September, keď otvoril príšerný rez cez pravé oko Furyho legálnym úderom, ktorý takmer zastavil boj. While Wallin dropped the decision, preukázal svoje odhodlanie ako potenciálny budúci šampión v ťažkej váhe. Zastupujúci svoj rodný Sundsvall, Švédsko, Wallin trénuje v New Yorku s bývalým šampiónom Joey Gamache. Wallin’s last fight in Las Vegas was his second in the U.S., after his debut on SHOWTIME in April ended in a no contest because of a cut suffered by his opponent in the first round.

Fighting out of New South Wales, Austrália, Browne (29-2, 25 KO) naposledy dosiahol vyraďovacie víťazstvo nad Johnom Hopoateom v novembri, his second win of 2019. Vyhral štyri zo svojich posledných piatich zápasov, s jeho jedinými stratami v kariére prišli do Veľkej Británie Dillian Whyte a David Allen. Browne won his first 25 Pre boje, vrátane zastavenia Ruslana Čagajeva v 2016 to capture a WBA Heavyweight Championship. He will be making his U.S. debut.

George (10-0, 6 KO) vyšiel víťazom v bitke vtedy neporazených bojovníkov, keď v novembri SHOWTIME čelil Escuderu, víťazstvo na základe rozhodovania na základe rozhodnutia. Tridsaťročný mladík začal boxovať, až keď bol 19 a riadi ho ofenzívny pochôdzkar Washington Redskins All-Pro Trent Williams, a trénoval v Houstone tímom NFL All-Pro bežiacim späť Adrian Peterson a James Cooper. George sa bude usilovať o prechod z vyhliadky na uchádzača tým, že v marci opäť porazí Escudero 28.

Escudero (10-1, 9 KO) sa bude snažiť odraziť a vyrovnať skóre proti Georgovi, and in turn bolster his own position in the light heavyweight division. The 26-year-old from Buenos Aires, Argentina has fought primarily in the U.S. since turning pro in 2017. His amateur career saw him become a national champion in Argentina in 2014 and represent his country in the Pan-Am Games in 2015. Escudero currently trains in Miami and scored three stoppage wins in 2019 before facing George for the first time.

HEAVYWEIGHTS WALLIN AND FLORES BOTH EXPECTING VICTORY WHEN THEY CLASH ON SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION FRIDAY, Júla 12 LIVE ON SHOWTIME®

NEW YORK – July 9, 2019 –Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin says he has too many physical advantages, while former world title challenger BJ Flores says he has too much experience to lose their upcoming 10-round clash.



WBA No. 5-ranked Wallin (20-0, 13 KO) and Flores (34-4-1, 21 KO) will meet this Friday, Júl 12, in the co-featured bout of a ShoBox: Nová generácia tripleheader telecast (žiť na SHOWTIME 10 p.m. ET / PT) from the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Umývanie.



Presented by Salita Promotions and Brian Halquist Productions, “Battle at the Boat 122” will also feature top American heavyweight prospect Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KO), from Saginaw, Mich., returning for his second consecutive ShoBox test against the streaking Jerry Forrest (25-2, 19 KO), Newport News, Va., in the 10-round headliner and in the opening televised bout, undefeated featherweight Giovanni Mioletti (16-0, 7 KO) of Chicago will face Ecuador’s Luis Porozo (14-0, 7 KO).



The 28-year-old Wallin, a southpaw from Sundsvall, Švédsko, says he’s been expanding his horizons working with trainer Joey Gamache at Mendez Boxing in Manhattan.



“Training has been very good. I have been back in New York for six weeks now and I’ve had some great sparring with a lot of different guys and different styles,” said 28-year-old Wallin. “Sparring is the best training you can get. It’s the most like a fight, so just getting in with all these different guys is a great experience.”



Undefeated Wallin says he’s got too much of everything for former cruiserweight Flores in this fight.



“BJ Flores is a guy that’s experienced, but I know what to do,“Povedal Wallin. “I have the tools to beat him. He’s good as a cruiserweight, but this is a heavyweight fight. It’s different than being a good cruiser. I will win because I’m a better boxer with better skills. I’m too big, young and strong for him. I always get nervous before a fight, but that’s part of it. Being nervous makes me sharper. I will eventually break him down.”



It’s been something of a whirlwind career for Wallin, who turned pro as the number one heavyweight on the Swedish National team after just 50 amatérske zápasy. Heavily courted by promoters for his immense natural talent, Wallin now finds himself signed with Salita Promotions and in the top 5 of the WBA ratings after 20 Pre boje.



He credits trainer Gamache, himself a popular former fighter, with much of his success.



“Joey used to live in Denmark and so did I,“Povedal Wallin. “That’s where we met six years ago. I followed him back to the US when he came back and I signed with Salita at the beginning of this year. We have a great relationship. I love him as a coach and as a person He’s done a lot for me including bringing me over here and making all these connections. I trust him 100% and he trusts me too.”



Wallin says having a great team behind him means ramping up his quest for a world championship.



“I want to have three or four fights this year. I haven’t had that many fights the last couple years, so it’s important to me to stay busy. Budúci rok, I’ll be looking for a bigger fight. I’m very excited about everything that is happening.”



The 40-year-old Flores, originally from Arizona, says preparations went surprisingly well for this fight.



“Training couldn’t have gone better,” Flores said. “I had eight good weeks of training and I have zero injuries. Ak chcete byť úprimný, I thought camp would be tougher, but everything bounced back nicely. I’ve been sparring for seven weeks. I normally have something nagging on fight week, but I sparred 10 rounds Saturday. I sparred four rounds today. Mám 22 rounds in since last Wednesday and I feel great.”



Kvety, a two-time world cruiserweight title challenger, says Wallin will be facing a totally different type of opponent than the ones he’s used to.



“He’s never been tested by a guy who thought he could win. Everybody he’s fought came in as an opponent. That’s not to say he’s not good, but I’m the first fighter on his resume coming in expecting to win and I’ve been in with far better opposition.



“I feel like once I get him in the middle rounds and show him he’s in with somebody who is not going anywhere, that’s when we will find out what he’s made of. My experience and game plan are perfect for testing an untested guy. Just because he’s untested doesn’t mean he can’t fight, but we’re going to find out Friday night.”



Contrary to most fighters’ preference, Flores says he’s happy Wallin is a left-handed fighter.



“I’ve been sparring nothing but tall southpaws. Vlastne, I haven’t sparred an orthodox fighter in nine weeks. I prefer to fight southpaws. It’s better for my punch selection to fight a southpaw. I’ve never had a problem with it and I’ve never lost to one.”



Now a 16-year pro, Flores says he won’t be worried if the younger fighter comes out with some early aggression.



“If he wants to start fast, that’s OK. I don’t care about the first two or three rounds. The real fight starts after the fourth round. I plan on winning the early rounds, but even if I don’t, it doesn’t matter until we get in the middle rounds. I’m going to attack and be aggressive and go up and down on him. Get him to the middle rounds and see where he’s at. I know where I’m at. I’ve been in with the best heavyweights and cruiserweights in the world over the last 15 leta. I feel great and I’m ready.”



Barry Tompkins will call the action from ringside with boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Výkonným producentom je Gordon sála s Richard Gaughan výrobou a Rick Phillips riadenie.

UNDEFEATED HEAVYWEIGHT PROSPECTS JERMAINE FRANKLIN AND OTTO WALLIN TESTED IN SEPARATE SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION BOUTS FRIDAY, Júla 12 LIVE ON SHOWTIME®

Top American Heavyweight Prospect Franklin Faces Jerry Forrest In Main Event While Sweden’s Otto Wallin Clashes With BJ Flores in Co-Featured Bout



Live At 10 p.m. ET/PT From Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Umývanie.



NEW YORK – May 30, 2019 – Two top undefeated heavyweight prospects will put their unblemished records on the line when they fight in separate bouts on ShoBox: Nová generácia Piatok, Júl 12 live on SHOWTIME from Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Umývanie.



Top American heavyweight prospect Jermaine Franklin returns for his second consecutive test of 2018 na ShoBox against the streaking Jerry Forrest in the 10-round headliner. V čo-predstavoval záchvat, undefeated Swedish heavyweight and top-10 ranked contender Otto Wallin will battle former world title challenger BJ Flores in a 10-round clash on the seventh ShoBox televízneho vysielania 2019.



“The heavyweight division is the strongest it’s been in a generation with a number of new faces looking to position themselves for an eventual title shot,” said Gordon Hall, Výkonný producent ShoBox. “Otto Wallin is on the doorstep based on his rankings in the top 10 but he needs that statement win to get there. BJ Flores is not coming to test Wallin. He is coming to win and feels he has what it takes to teach Wallin a lesson.



“Jermaine Franklin is the best American heavyweight prospect and, at only 25 rokov, still has a ton of growth potential. He passed his first test on ShoBox in April and we look forward to getting a second look at him in another step-up fight. Forrest is far more experienced than Franklin. This will be his fifth fight of 2019, and he is fully aware of what a win will do for his career.”



Vstupenky na akcie, which is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with Brian Halquist Productions, go on sale Saturday, Jún 1 and are available via Ticketmaster and the Emerald Queen Box Office.



“This is an exciting time for the heavyweight division and on July 12 boxing fans will have an opportunity to witness two of the division’s best new faces in significant tests,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “Jermaine Franklin’s goal is to be an American heavyweight world champion, and an impressive performance in a tough matchup with Jerry Forrest will be a significant step in his quest to the title.



“Otto Wallin is an example of what happens when you combine dreams and hard work. He grew up in a small town in Sweden and aims to challenge for the heavyweight world title and follow in the footsteps of Ingemar Johansson. Otto is fighting a proven veteran in BJ Flores who’s only losses have been in world title fights, so I expect it will be an exciting matchup from the opening bell.”



The 25-year-old Franklin (18-0, 13 KO), from Saginaw, Mich., is a former amateur standout and a 2014 Národný šampión Zlatých rukavíc. A likely candidate to represent the U.S. na 2016 Olympijské hry, Franklin turned down the opportunity to compete for a spot on the team and instead chose to begin his professional career in 2015. Widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, Franklin has built his undefeated record with relative ease since turning pro, knocking out nine of his first 10 professional opponents. Franklin made his SHOWTIME debut in the co-featured bout of the Claressa Shields vs. Christina Hammer event in April, earning a unanimous decision over former No. 1-ranked U.S. amateur Rydell Booker.



“In my SHOWTIME debut earlier this year, I felt I could have put on a better show but I won and that’s most important,” Franklin said. “Winning this fight is an important step toward my dreams of fighting for a heavyweight championship. This fight also is a chance for the fans to see me more focused and prepared. Jerry Forrest has been around the game for a while and he brings a lot of skills to the ring. I will be ready for him.”



Forrest (25-2, 19 KO), Newport News, Va., has won eighteen consecutive bouts since dropping back-to-back contests to world title challenger Gerald Washington and Michael Hunter, whose only professional loss came to former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Forrest, a 6-foot-1 southpaw, scored an eight-round unanimous decision over Joshua Tufte his last time out in April.



“This is a long time coming for me,” said Forrest. “My record and my potential are definitely worthy to fight in the main event on national television. This is where I should be. I’m very comfortable and I’m not at all overwhelmed. I’ve fought in the Nationals and big tournaments and I’m not afraid of the spotlight. Franklin throws a lot of punches and tries to bully you out. He’s not super accurate from what I see. He’s a heavyweight who will try to outwork you. I see him as a very similar fighter to Andy Ruiz. My training is going great, I haven’t been out of shape in two years. I’ve been in the gym grinding and doing it old school.”



Wallin (20-0, 13 KO, 1 ND) robil jeho U.S.. debut on SHOWTIME in April, also on the undercard of Shields-Hammer, but his fight with Nick Kisner was cut short after an accidental headbutt left Kisner unable to continue, resulting in a No Decision. The 6-foot-5 Wallin turned pro in 2013 and has gradually risen in the rankings by recording 20 straight wins in Europe prior to his American debut. The 28-year-old southpaw won the Swedish Boxing Championship at 16-years-old, fought against Anthony Joshua twice as an amateur and was a member of the Swedish National Boxing Team. Currently ranked in the top-ten by both the WBA and IBF, Wallin now has his sights set on becoming his country’s first Heavyweight Champion since Ingemar Johansson in 1960.



“My U.S. debut did not go the way I had hoped and I didn’t get a chance to show off my skills,”Povedal Wallin. “I’m really looking forward to going out there again getting a chance to show a lot more. This is a fight I need to win if I want to go somewhere. I need to win and I need to look good doing it. I need to be sharp at all times and not take anything for granted. This is a sport where everything can change in the blink of an eye.”



Kvety (34-4-1, 21 KO) Profesionálom v 2003 and has enjoyed a long, successful career competing mostly as a cruiserweight. Undefeated through the first seven years and 25 bojov jeho kariéry, Flores suffered his first setback when he traveled to Australia to challenge Danny Green for his IBO Cruiserweight world title, dropping a unanimous decision. The Arizona native bounced back by winning eight of his next nine fights before getting a second chance at a world title, again traveling to his opponent’s hometown. Tentoraz, Flores was stopped by WBC Cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew in Liverpool. Flores has since moved to heavyweight, where he has won two of his three fights.



“Not only is this a winnable fight for me, Som 100 percent winning this,” said Flores. “I’m working with [tréneri] Angel Heredia and Ibn Cason and world class heavyweight Kubrat Pulev. Working with this team is perfect for getting my strength and conditioning up for this fight, and sparring with one of the top guys in the world in Pulev is making me very sharp. I know Wallin is undefeated and has a good amateur style. He’s tall and has good boxing ability. I know he’s got some talent and is a young up and coming guy. He’ll be trying to make a name for himself off of my name, so I’ll be ready for that.”



Barry Tompkins will call the action from ringside with boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Výkonným producentom je Gordon sála s Richard Gaughan výrobou a Rick Phillips riadenie.

UNBEATEN MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION CHRISTINA HAMMER TRAINING CAMP QUOTES


WBO Middleweight Champion Hammer Takes on Fellow Middleweight Champion Claressa Shields for Undisputed Middleweight Championship Saturday, Apríl 13 Naživo na SHOWTIME® from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City

Atlantic City, N.J. (Apríl 5, 2019) – Before she arrived in New York Thursday for the final part of her training camp, WBO Middleweight majster sveta Christina Hammershared her thoughts on her showdown for the Undisputed Middleweight Championship against WBA, WBC and IBF Middleweight Champion Claressa Shields Sobota apríla 13 live on SHOWTIME from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.

Germany’s Hammer has held a middleweight world title since 2010, defending it numerous times including in her U.S. debut last June on SHOWTIME in which she defeated Tori Nelson. Now she looks to stamp her name in the history books in this matchup against Shields that many are calling the most significant fight in women’s boxing history.

Vstupenky na koncerte, ktorá je podporovaná Salita Promotions, sú ceny na $150, $100, $55 a $35 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster and atboardwalkhall.com.

Here are highlights of what Hammer had to say as we head into fight week for this historic event:

How excited are you about fighting in the U.S.?

Christina Hammer: I’m really excited about it because this is a very big fight. I can’t wait to get there, step into the ring and put on a great performance.

Čo to znamená pre vás boj?

CH: This is going to be the biggest women’s fight in history. Obaja sme šampiónmi, she has Olympic gold medals and other accolades, so with all of that combined, it’s going to be a game changer for our sport.

What do you need to do to win?

CH: “I’m a long time champion and I know what to do in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat her. I have great foot work and my goal is to beat her badly.

What do you think of Claressa inside and outside of the ring?

CH: Claressa has obviously accomplished a lot going back to the Olympics. This is a big step for her and I think it’s going to be a challenge for her. As a person, she’s just my opponent, that’s all.

Can you describe your style of fighting and what fans can expect on April 13?

CH: “I’m tall for my division so I use my reach. I have great footwork and technique and power and I want to show off all those skills. I’m going to show that Christina Hammer is a great champion. I like to play with my opponent, and when the moment is right, I beat her down.

Can you talk about your experiences as a fashion model and why that’s important to you?

CH: I like modeling because it’s a different part of me. You can be more feminine and athletic. I did my first shoot three years ago and I had never done anything like that. I’ve worked on my skills there too.

To be a model is an easy job, it just gives me confidence. Being a fighter is hard. You have to give everything, because in the ring you can’t run away. You have to fight and defeat someone.

Would you ever want to compete in another sport?

CH: I don’t know. Boxing is the best sport to me. It’s my passion. I give everything to the sport and my dream now is to be successful in America.

Is there anyone in boxing history you’d have loved to fight?

CH: Laila Ali was a great champion and If I fought her that would be a great fight.

Do you see women’s boxing as a sport on the rise?

CH: “Áno, it’s really grown in recent years. There are more fights on big platforms for us and I think this is just the start.

Would you recommend for other women to go into boxing?

CH: “Box je skvelý šport. You need technique, intelligence and it makes you feel more confident. If something happens, you can take care of yourself. It’s the best workout and I suggest it to everyone.

CLARESSA ŠTÍTY


 
“Christina doesn’t know what’s coming for her. To kladivo rozbijem na polovicu.


 
"Keď sme tam.", ide o to, kto udiera silnejšie. To je skutočný boj. Len preto, že má výšku, neznamená, že bude diktovať, čo sa stane. Bude musieť urobiť veľa pre to, aby som od nej upustila.


 
"Mám dve zlaté olympijské medaily.", tri pásy a ďalšie prichádzajú. Všetky tituly budem mať koncom apríla v noci 13.


 
"Pracujem ťažko, naozaj ťažké. Keby som bol muž, Asi by som bol jedným z najslávnejších boxerov. Existujú rodové rozdiely. Všetci to vieme. Snažím sa to zmeniť. Tvrdo pracujeme, dostaneme menej peňazí a menej uznania, ale svet sa mení. Meníme to.

“I’ve been working on my ‘Ali shuffle,’ this gym inspired me. Don’t be surprised if you see me break it out during the fight. I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve. At the press conference there will be some surprises too — I have an outfit picked that is going to steal the show.”


 
“This fight is long overdue and I’m just glad I’m going to get my chance to show her what a real champion is. Someone is going down on April 13 and I promise it’s not going to be me.


 
“People can say they’re not paying attention to you and not studying you, but they’re lying. I’m glad she’s looking at me closely though. Hammer flew one of my friends out there to be a sparring partner, not even knowing that she hasn’t sparred me in years and knows nothing about me. It makes me know I’m on her mind. Môže jazdiť s Ann Wolfeovou a stále ma nechystá poraziť. “

Franklin will face Rydell Booker while Wallin takes on Nick Kisner in a pair of 10-round attractions leading up to the main event. For both Franklin and Wallin, they see April 13 as a step towards their larger goals.

Booker is in the way of where I’m eventually trying to be,” said Franklin. “I’m part of that next generation of heavyweights and I’m working hard to end up as the heavyweight champion when the dust settles. I always find a way to win and I’m going to show it on April 13.

Coming to the U.S. for the second part of my career is very exciting,” said Wallin. “I’ve accomplished a lot in my career in Europe but this is a new beginning. This is the moment I’ve been dreaming of since I first laced up mitts and I can’t wait to introduce myself to the fans here.

A 25-year-old from Saginaw, Michigan, Franklin hopes to show that he’s primed to become the next American heavyweight champion, and is ready to take the mantle from current WBC titlist Deontay Wilder and the long line of American heavyweight champions that came before him.

I’m going to raise the competition amongst the heavyweights,” said Franklin. “The division is definitely back on the map and I’m planning on having a hand in making it must-watch TV once again. America needs another face in the heavyweight division and that’s going to be me.

I already believe that I am the best heavyweight in the world. There are a lot of big, strong heavyweights, but I’m a balanced athlete, which makes me different. Som silný, rýchly, athletic and getting better with each fight.

Although his native Sweden is not known for boxing, Wallin’s home country has previously produced a heavyweight champion in Ingemar Johansson, who famously stopped Floyd Patterson in their first fight at Yankee Stadium in 1959. After defeating fellow Swedish heavyweight Adrian Granat in his last fight, Wallin decided it was time to fight in the U.S., following previous training camps in New York with trainer Joey Gamache.

Training here in New York brings me a great energy and it shows in my performance,” said Wallin. “It’s the center of the world, and while I’m fully focused on training, I feed off the energy of the city.

Ingemar Johansson is of course a big inspiration for me. Keď prišiel do USA. a porazil Floyda Pattersona, bol to najhorší človek na planéte. Hľadám vziať ten plášť a stať sa hrdinom mladých švédskych boxerov, presne ako bol pre mňa.”

Okrem toho, že je Wallin’s U.S. debut, neporazené ťažké váhy vystúpia prvýkrát v SHOWTIME a bude to Franklinov prvý boj na severovýchode. Každý z nich dúfa, že predvedie svoj talent a je pripravený na to, čo prichádza s rozšírenou platformou.

“Je to pre mňa veľká šanca preukázať svoje schopnosti, ale stále to beriem ako iba ďalší boj,” said Franklin. “Idem sa prispôsobiť súperovi a odhaliť jeho slabosti. Stále sa zlepšujem, pretože akonáhle si myslíte, že viete všetko, vtedy zistíš, že nič nevieš.”

I’m just a kid from a small town in Sweden and I’ve worked hard to get to this point,” said Wallin. “Training here in the U.S. and fighting here is going to help me put on the best performance of my career. The fun begins on April 13 and I’m not stopping until I am champion.

Both recently signed with Dmitriy Salita’s Salita Promotions and on April 13 will begin a year that could leave each fighter on the precipice of a title shot.

“Dňa 13 two of the best heavyweight in the world, one from the U.S., one from Sweden, will both have a chance to make a claim that they are ready to challenge for the heavyweight title,” Said Word.

Jermaine Franklin is by far the best American heavyweight prospect who is soon to be a contender and a champion. He will have a great opportunity to showcase his skills and worth against the experienced, hungry and accomplished Rydell Booker.

Boxing is a sport of individual stories and Otto Wallin is a great example of that. A top-rated heavyweight from a small town in Sweden, he is showing that dreams, combined with hard work, can come true. He is one of the best heavyweight contenders from Europe and on April 13 he will show that he belongs with the elite in the U.S.

With this opportunity to announce themselves in the resurgent heavyweight division, Franklin and Wallin are keyed for eye-opening performances next Saturday.

My ultimate goal is to become world champion and I believe right now I’m on the right path,” said Wallin, ktorý je zaradený Žiadny. 5 by the IBF and WBA. “I had good years fighting in Europe, but now is the time for me to go to the next level. I can’t wait to show everyone what I’m all about and give the fans great fights.

I’m planning to be a major force in the heavyweight division by the end of the year,” said Franklin. “It’s my coming out party. I feel like my dreams are going to come true. I’m going to show everyone who I am: the best new heavyweight in the world.

Vstupenky na koncerte, ktorá je podporovaná Salita Promotions, sú ceny na $150, $100, $55 a $35 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster and atboardwalkhall.com.
