MIAMI, Okla. (Mawrth 26, 2016) – On a night of knockouts, unbeaten super lightweight Regis "Rougarou" PROGRAMS (17-0, 14 Kos), o Houston, scored his third consecutive dominant victory on ShoBox: Y Genhedlaeth Newydd, knocking out Mexico’s Aaron Herrera (21-5-1, 12 Kos) yn 2:17 o'r cylch cyntaf Dydd Gwener yn y prif ddigwyddiad arShowtime o Buffalo Run Casino yn Miami, Okla.

In scheduled eight-round bouts that all ended early, Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (10-0, 9 Kos), o Brooklyn, N.Y., registered a 21-second, knockout rownd-gyntaf dros Nick Givhan (16-1-1, 10 Kos), o Kalamazoo, Mich., in a super lightweight scrap, Ukrainian welterweight Ivan "The Volk" Golub (16-0, 10 Kos, 5-0 ym Cyfres Byd o Bocsio), o Brooklyn, N.Y., scored a sixth-round TKO over Marlon Aguas (9-1, 6 Kos), o Quito, Ecuador, ac Justin DeLoach (14-1, 8 Kos), of Augusta, Ga., who is trained by former world champion Paul Williams, registered a fourth-round knockout over undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon “White Lightning” Cook (16-1, 6 Kos).

All but Prograis and Baranchyk were making their ShoBox debuts. Cook, Aguas and Givhan became the 143rd, 144^fed ac 145^fed boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

“I can’t remember mewn 15 flynyddoedd of working ShoBox a show with such emphatic knockouts – and two of them being spectacular knockout of the year candidates,'' Meddai ShoBox dadansoddwr arbenigol Steve Farhood.

PROGRAMS, 5 troedfedd-9, 27-year-old originally from New Orleans, was fighting in his second consecutive ShoBox main event and second scheduled 10-rounder. The aggressive-minded southpaw pounded Herrera’s body from the opening bell; five of his six power punches were targeted to the Mexican’s midsection. A left hook to the body downed Herrera, who crumpled to the canvas and wasn’t able to beat the count.

“I was prepared to go 10 rowndiau llawn, the last thing I was expecting was a first-round knockout,’’ said Prograis, who was making his 2016 cyntaf. “I’m making hard fights look easy but they’re really not. It’s all the daily work in the gym all day every day that is paying off for me. Tonight was fun. I’m very satisfied.

“I want all the fighters in my division to know one thing: I’m coming after all of you.’’

“He just got me with a great shot, it was simple as that,’’ said Herrera, who making his second start in the United States. “There’s really not that much that I can say.’’

The highly regarded Baranchyk – making his second eight-round start and second in a row on ShoBox – knocked out Givhan with a huge left hand with the first power punch of the fight. He required only two punches to finish the 17-fight veteran. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the quickest professional KO for the Belarus native. Baranchyk owns a three-second KO over Angel Figueroa o 2015.

“I’m very happy,’’ Baranchyk said. “I was expecting a much longer fight. I was focused on a full fight. But knockouts are good. I know fans like knockouts.

“I’ll take a week off and then go back to the drawing board. I’m looking ahead to fighting again soon and on ShoBox again.’’

Givhan was shocked with the result.

“I’m good but I am very, very disappointed,” Givhan said. “This is the lowlight of my life. For me to get knocked out by someone I know I can beat is just the worst feeling. And there’s nothing worse than for it to happen on national television.

“No one expects 20-second fights. I just got caught, that’s all.”

Golub, a former standout amateur from Ukraine, had to rally from the first knockdown of his career. “This was a little tougher than I expected,'' Meddai ef. “But it’s all about learning. I had to go through some adversity to win. You don’t know adversity until it hits you in the face.”

Golub was the more active fighter against the awkward Aguas, who was at his best when matters turned ugly. In a bizarre second round, southpaw Golub scored a questionable knockdown as Aguas hit the canvas while clinching and off-balance. Aguas bounced back seconds later to knock down Golub with a short right, sending the Ukrainian to the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I was surprised that I got knocked down, but he caught me off-balance,’’ Golub said. “Overall, I am very happy with my performance.”

Golub resumed control after the second and a series of combinations in the sixth sent a gassed Aguas falling back through the ropes in the closing seconds of the round. Aguas somehow rose to his feet to beat the count, but his trainer quickly waved off the bout when the Ecuadorian returned to the corner.

Aguas said an injury, not fatigue, was the reason his corner stopped the fight at the end of the sixth. “I hurt my right bicep in the fifth round,'' Meddai ef. “That’s the reason we stopped it. I wasn’t that tired.”

Yn y frwydr agoriadol y telecast, DeLoach made Williams a winner in his training debut. With Williams looking on from his wheelchair in the corner, DeLoach, a winner of four in a row, dropped Cook with a devastating, counter-overhand right at 2:47 of the fourth that sent Cook awkwardly to the canvas in a knockout of the year candidate.

“I’m happy with my performance,’’ said DeLoach, who was the more active fighter, taflu bron 100 more punches over the four rounds. “This was a great experience fighting a guy like this in his backyard. I enjoyed the crowd and their enthusiasm. It motivated me. I got a little lazy in parts of the second and third rounds, but I listened to my corner and picked it up on offense and got my punch count up and going again.

“Dillon was a good fighter who moved a lot. I know I have to do better cutting off the ring. He landed with a left a second before I landed that big right. This was a great win for all of us. I’m ready to do this again.’’

“Look at me, look at my shirt. It feels like I was sweating worse than when I fought,’’ said Williams, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012. “I am very relieved to get this one out of the way. I’m very happy for Justin and Mr. Pete (Paul’s longtime manager and trainer and DeLoach’s assistant trainer, George Williams)

"Rydw i'n iawn, all things considered,’’ said Cook. “He was a tough guy. I’ve never been knocked out before so I don’t exactly know how to act. I felt I was in the fight until I was caught. It’s disappointing, but this was a great learning experience for me. It can only help me in the long run.’’

A taped interview with Williams and ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood aired prior to the bout. In the discussion, Farhood asked the former two-time champ why he chose to return as a trainer for the first time since the 2012 motorcycle accident left him paralyzed. Full Interview:http://s.sho.com/1WPrJ28

"Roedd gen i lot o hwyl cyfan yn fy frwydr olaf am (Abel) Ramos jyst cadw dod. Im 'yn ymladd yn gyn-filwr, a different kind of guy tomorrow. He’s tough with the Mexican style so I expect him to be smart and know all the tricks.

"Herrera yn dod heb ddim i'w golli, ond yr wyf yn caru ymladd arddull Mecsicanaidd. Rydw i wedi bod yn hyfforddi yn Houston, felly ni fydd yn dod ag unrhyw beth nad wyf wedi gweld o'r blaen.

"Gallaf fod yn southpaw slic neu gallaf ffrwgwd. Rwyf wrth fy modd i ymladd, a dyna pam y dechreuais mewn bocsio. Fy meddylfryd yw bang ac ymladd, pan ddaw i lawr iddo. Weithiau, os nad wyf yn taro fy mod yn diflasu felly rwy'n gymysgu i fyny ychydig yn fwy felly byddaf yn cael ei daro ac yna gallaf ddod yn ôl. Gallaf addasu i unrhyw arddull.

"Dyma fy nhrydydd frwydr ar ShoBox a phrif ddigwyddiad ail. Yr wyf yn croesawu'r pwysau, ond ar yr un pryd rwy'n gwybod rhaid i mi ei anwybyddu a dim ond mwynhau a chael hwyl mewn 'na.

"Meddwl, Rwy'n teimlo fy mod yn barod am frwydr fawr yn erbyn unrhyw un o'r contenders top, ond yr wyf yn gwybod y mathau hynny o ymladd yn dal i fod ychydig i lawr y lein i mi. Rwy'n dal i gael llawer o waith i'w wneud; angen i mi gadw pounding nes i mi ei gael yn iawn.

AARON Herrera

Mae'n edrych fel Prograis hoffi i ddod ymlaen ac yn dod i ymladd, a byddaf yn gwneud yr un peth, er fy mod yn ôl pob tebyg yn fwy o bocsiwr na slugger.

"Mae hyn yn ymwneud â chymryd gofal o fusnes. Rydw i wedi bod 12 rowndiau cyn. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Dim ond fy ail frwydr yn America yw hwn, ond yr wyf yn dysgu llawer o'r yr un cyntaf ac a fydd yn sicr yn fy helpu. Mae gen i fwy o hyder. Ni fydd hyn yn brofiad newydd i mi.

"Rydw i wedi ymladd gyda chwith-handers cyn felly ar ôl ychydig o rowndiau, Rwy'n siŵr y byddaf yn teimlo'n gyfforddus. Rwy'n sicr yn dod i ennill. Alla i ddim aros i glywed y cylch cloch agor. ''

Oy BARANCHYK

"Rwy'n Puncher, Rwy'n hoffi i ddod ag ef a dwi'n dod am y 'knockout'.

"Rwy'n yn unig 23 ond yr wyf yn gweithio'n galed iawn ac yn teimlo fy mod yn dod yn ei flaen. Rwyf yn y gampfa drwy'r amser. Un o'r prif bethau rydym yn gweithio ar y mwyaf yw'r hunanfeddiant y tu mewn i'r cylch. Rwy'n teimlo fy mod yn setlo i lawr yn fwy ac yn gweithio y pigiad, ond mae'n dal i fod yn rhywbeth yr ydym yn gweithio ar.

"Rydych ddim yn gallu mynd i mewn ac yn curo pawb allan. Dyw hi ddim yn hawdd. Mae angen i chi sefydlu eich punches weithiau. Nid wyf yn mynd i newid o fod yn Puncher naturiol, Nid yw fy nhîm yn ceisio i fynd i ffwrdd y tân ynof fi, maent ond am i mi setlo i lawr. ''

"Mae hyn yn llunio i fyny fel bocsiwr erbyn ymladd Puncher sy'n fy ffafrio. Efallai y bydd yn dod allan jabbing ar y dechrau, ond unwaith y mae wedi cyffwrdd y gall fod yn rhwystredig. Dyna beth y byddaf yn manteisio ar, ei gor-ymosodol.

"Rydw i'n edrych ymlaen at achub ar y funud nos yfory. ''

IVAN Golub

"Rwy'n teimlo'n gyffrous iawn o fod ar y cerdyn hwn ac yn edrych ymlaen at ymladd ar fy cyntaf ShoBox Cerdyn. Mae hwn yn gam mawr i fyny ac mae'n mynd i fod yn frwydr fawr.

"Pan gefais y cyfle i ymladd ar ShoBox, Doeddwn i ddim hyd yn oed yn gofyn pwy oeddwn yn ymladd. Yr wyf yn spar gyda rhai o'r gorau allan yno (Ievgen Khytrov,Sergey Derevanchenko, ac ati). Ond dw i'n fwy o bocsiwr-Puncher na rhai o fy teammates.

Ynglŷn ShoBox: Y Genhedlaeth Newydd
Ers ei sefydlu ym mis Gorffennaf 2001, y gyfres bocsio yn feirniadol o fri Showtime, ShoBox: Y Genhedlaeth Newydd cyfateb talent ifanc wedi ymddangos yn anodd. Y ShoBox hathroniaeth yw darlledu gyffrous, gemau cystadleuol tra'n darparu tir profi ar gyfer rhagolygon parod dorf-ddymunol ac yn benderfynol o ymladd am deitl y byd. Mae rhai o'r rhestr gynyddol y 65 diffoddwyr sydd wedi ymddangos ar ShoBox ac uwch i Garner teitlau byd yn cynnwys: Ward Andre, Deontay Wilder, Erislandy Lara, Shawn Porter, Gary Russell Jr, Lamont Peterson, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Omar Figueroa, Nonito Donaire, Dyfnaint Alexander, Carl Froch, Robert Guerrero, Timothy Bradley, Jessie Vargas, Juan Manuel Lopez, Chad Dawson, Paulie Malignaggi, Ricky Hatton, Kelly Pavlik, Paul Williams a mwy.

Seneca, MO (Mawrth 18, 2016) - Ar Mawrth 25, junior middleweight prospect Dillon “White Lightning” Cook will find himself in a familiar place but with a new challenge when he battles Justin DeLoach in an eight round bout on ShoBox: The New Generation at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK.

Tickets for the event promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Holden Productions are $45, $55 ac $75 and can be purchased by logging onto Buffalorun.com or Stubwire.com.

Unbeaten mewn 16 professional bouts with six wins by knockout, Cook’s fought five of his last seven matches at the Buffalo Run, winning handily each time. A member of Holden Productions’ “Four State Franchise”, the popular Cook is from nearby Seneca, MO and fought in front of sellout crowds on multiple occasions. While these are definite advantages for Cook, DeLoach comes into the ring with an impressive background.

Against DeLoach, 13-1 (7 KO yn), Cook is taking a significant step up in competition and will do so before a national audience. Hailing from Augusta, GA and based in Houston, TX, DeLoach trained alongside top fighters including IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo, undefeated Jermell Charlo, Bryan Vera and Edwin Rodriguez amongst others. Yn ddiweddar, Team DeLoach announced that his new chief second is former two division champion Paul Williams and highly respected George Peterson will work as an assistant.

To prepare for DeLoach, Cook’s been training out of the Heartland Boxing Gym and travels to various gyms for sparring as he anxiously waits for the opening bell on Mawrth 25.

“I’m excited for the fight but trying not to let the pressure of fighting on TV get to me,” said Cook, a former National Junior Golden Gloves titlist and six time Kansas City Golden Gloves winner. "(To specifically prepare for DeLoach) we’re working on (technique to counter) his style. DeLoach is a good fighter I’ve seen him fight a few times he’s fast and a busy fighter but I’m pretty fast myself. I expect to match his speed, if not beat it.”

Cook also acknowledges his advantages and never second guessed taking the step up in competition.

“I’m a smart fighter and can adapt well (plus the) hometown crowd is definitely a benefit. I knew we’d step (up the competition in the near future) and this is a great time for it. I’ve had 16 professional fights and am ready to show the world that I’m capable of going to the next level.”

Cook’s promoter, Tony Holden, is confident in his fighter and believes the locals will come out droves to support him.

“I’m proud to see him get a shot on a national stage. He’s a key part of the “Four State Franchise” and is a big crowd draw. He’s worked very hard and I expect him to put forth a tremendous performance. I’d like to personally thank Showtime as well for this incredible opportunity.”

The Cook-DeLoach bout opens up a quadrupleheader live on Showtime (10:30 PM ET). The card also features highly regarded junior welterweight Regis Prograis (16-0) against Aaron Herrera (29-4-1), two showdowns where somebody’s 0 must go between unbeaten welterweights Ivan Golub (10-0) and Marlon Aguas (9-0) and junior welterweights Ivan Baranchyk (9-0) vs Nicholas Givhan (16-0-1).

FORMER WORLD CHAMPION TO TRAIN PROSPECT JUSTIN DELOACH

IN FOURTH FIGHT ADDED TO Dydd Gwener, MAWRTH 25,

SHOBOX: Y genhedlaeth newydd telecast

“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight.” – Paul Williams

Super Welterweight DeLoach Takes on Undefeated Local Favorite Dillon Cook;

Promising Meets Aaron Herrera in Main Event;

Yn fyw ar Showtime^® Ar 10:30 p.m. A/PT

NEW YORK (Mawrth 15, 2016) – Former two-time world champion Paul Williams, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012, is back in boxing as a trainer.

The popular Williams will work the corner of once-beaten Justin DeLoach (13-1, 7 Kos) when DeLoach faces undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon Cook (16-0, 6 Kos) in the opening eight-round bout of what is now a ShoBox: Y Genhedlaeth Newydd quadrupleheader ar Dydd Gwener, Mawrth 25, byw arShowtime (10:30 p.m. A/PT, oedi ar Arfordir y Gorllewin) o Buffalo Run Casino mewn Miami, Okla.

DeLoach is the first boxer to be trained by Williams, the former 154-pound southpaw who has been confined to a wheelchair since the accident.

“I guess I was being selfish at first,” Williams said. “I didn’t want to deal with the fight game. I wanted to be the one fighting. But that changed.”

Williams was reluctant to train fighters for a long time. Roedd ynGeorge Peterson, who managed and trained Williams from the time the boxer was a skinny kid with little amateur experience until his career ended, that helped persuade “The Punisher” to return to the ring. Williams trains his pupil at a private gym in his hometown of Aiken, S.C.

“You know me, I really didn’t want to do this,’’ Williams said. “But finally after three or four years of George practically begging me to try and do it, this opportunity came along and I decided to give it a shot.

“Everything is about timing. I started thinking about it, George kept asking me and messing with me about it, one thing led to another, and I finally said I’d take a stab at it.
Williams, who is enjoying his new job description, admits there are some pre-fight jitters.

“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight. Nawr, I have to think about everything that Mr. Pete was thinking about when I was fighting. I have to try and teach Justin what I knew how to do.

“George and I accomplished a lot. He made me a world champion; before that, no one knew who he or I was. We were just a couple of guys from Aiken, S.C. We gave fans fights to remember.

“I was the fighter the press labeled as ‘Most feared in boxing.’ But that’s over for me now. I’m jumping into a whole new thing. It’s been an adjustment but I’m glad I’m doing it.’’

In his role as a trainer, Williams’ mindset has changed drastically from his fighting days. “Look, I always feel good,'' Meddai ef. “What’s happened has happened. Mae'n beth ydyw. This is my first time stepping back into the world. Rwyf wrth fy modd bocsio.

“What I don’t want to see is a fighter getting hurt. This is a hard sport. I know when I was in there I was always going for broke. But I want Justin, all fighters actually, to come out of the ring the same way they came in. Ennill neu golli, I don’t want to see anybody get hurt.’’

On DeLoach, Dywedodd Williams, “He’s a good fighter and now he’s in the spotlight. I want to do my best in the training world to get him at his peak. I hope he does his best. I’d love to one-up George with Justin.’’

Becoming the best takes strenuous work on a daily basis, and Williams was no stranger to putting in the hours.

“I never took a shortcut,'' Meddai ef. “You take shortcuts, you know what’ll happen. I took the long road home when I was fighting and fans, diffoddwyr, everybody knew what to expect when I stepped in the ring.

“Justin isn’t like this, but one thing I know is that fighters think they’re slick. Wel, you can’t pull anything over me. Rydw i wedi bod yno, seen it all.’’

A, fel bob amser, he’ll have George Peterson by his side.

“I’m just helping Paul,’’ said Peterson, who will serve as Williams’ assistant trainer. “So far, he’s doing great.”

It will be the ShoBox ac 2016 debuts — and toughest fight to date — for both DeLoach and Cook.

DeLoach was a top amateur, competing in the USA Boxing National Championships in 2012. He won a National Silver Golden Gloves title when he was 13.

The 22-year-old DeLoach, of Augusta, Ga., has won three in a row since suffering his lone loss to Cesar Villa ar Chwefror. 6, 2015. That was before he started training with Williams.

“This has been a total blessing, and I say that every day,” DeLoach said. “Thank God. He’s the one who brought the two of us together, that’s the main thing. Paul loves it, just to be back. I think he was scared at first, his reputation was at stake and so was mine.

“But he’s been so helpful – just in the mental side of things. I was already a good boxer but he’s taken me to another level mentally. He’s been pushing me, criticizing me, giving me instructions and picking my brain.”

DeLoach and Williams grew up just 30 minutes down the road from each other.

“Me and Paul, we’ve known each other our whole lives,’’ DeLoach said. “I’m from Augusta, Ga., and he was right across in Aiken. We knew each other when I was coming up as an amateur. He came to my last pro fight that was in San Antonio. When I saw him, I got so excited. We started to talk and I said something like, 'Hey, Paul, wouldn’t it be cool if we got together?'

“Once I came home, we started working together and he’s been training me since. I think we’re going on about three months now. It’s an unbelievable feeling to be able to work with one of my favorite fighters.”

Yn ei daith olaf, DeLoach won a shutout four-round decision overSantos Benavides ddiwethaf Rhagfyr. 12. DeLoach, a pro since March 2013, fought six times that year and four times each in 2014 ac 2015.

“I’m really looking forward to fighting for the first time for him,” DeLoach said. “I’ve gone crazy waiting for my break and an opportunity like this to fight on SHOWTIME. I know it’s not easy fighting in your opponent’s backyard, but with Paul, George Peterson and me and my skills, we are confident it will be a good fight.’’

Cook, 25, is from Seneca, Mo, which is located about 20 minutes from Buffalo Run Casino where he has fought six times. A top amateur, he won six Golden Gloves titles, a Junior Golden Gloves National title, a Heartland title and four regional Silver Gloves titles. He is popular at Buffalo Run and will be making his premium network television debut against easily his most dangerous assignment as a pro. Cook’s brother, Jesse, a welterweight with a record of 15-1-1, will box on the non-televised portion of the event.

Dillon Cook turned pro in August 2012, fought twice that year, seven times in 2013, four times in 2014 and three times last year. Five of his last seven took place at Buffalo Run, including two out of three in 2015. He’s coming off a lopsided eight-round decision overRahman Yusubov ddiwethaf Tachwedd. 14.

“I couldn’t be more excited about making my ShoBox cyntaf, right at home, at the Buffalo Run Casino,” Cook said. “This is a huge opportunity for me, and I plan on putting on a spectacular showing, for all my fans there that night and everyone watching on TV.”
