LAS VEGAS (April 29, 2017) – Yang baru dinobatkan sebagai Juara WBA Interim Featherweight Claudio Marrero (22-1, 16 KOs) terkejut sebelum ini tanpa kalah Carlos Zambrano (26-1, 12 KOs) dengan kalah mati pusingan pertama dalam acara utama Premier Boxing Champions pada FS1 dan FOX Sukan, Sabtu malam dari Sam's Town Live di Las Vegas.
“Terdapat begitu banyak emosi yang bermain di kepala saya sekarang, bahawa saya masih tidak dapat membungkus bagaimana rasanya menjadi juara sekarang,” kata Marrero. “Saya tidak akan membiarkan ia mengganggu saya, kerana saya akan melawan sesiapa yang terbaik dalam kelas berat saya. Saya tahu jenis pejuang yang saya akan lawan dan saya tahu apa yang perlu dilakukan. Saya lapar”
Pertarungan berakhir secara tiba-tiba sebagai Marrero dari Santo Domingo, Republik Dominican melemparkan tangan kiri lurus padu batu yang menghantar Lima, Zambrano Peru ke kanvas, menyebabkan dia tidak dapat berdiri dan pengadil Vic Drakulich melambai pada perlawanan itu 1:30 satu-satunya pusingan. Marrero melanjutkan rentetan kemenangan tujuh perlawanan.
“Selepas tidak aktif selama setahun, Sudah tentu masa saya sedikit tersasar Saya tidak gembira langsung dengan persembahan saya,” kata Zambrano. “Ini adalah pertarungan yang telah lama ditunggu-tunggu dan saya tahu Marrero telah mengintai saya untuk seketika, jadi ia hanya malang cara keadaan berakhir.
“Saya perlu kembali ke negeri dan mencari rakan sparring yang benar-benar boleh membantu saya mencapai tahap yang saya mahukan,” sambung Zambrano. “Untuk rekod saya ditewaskan pada ketika ini, ia hanya benar-benar mengecewakan saya tidak mempunyai perkataan lain untuk menggambarkannya.”
Acara utama bersama siaran FS1 dan FOX Deportes berakhir dengan TKO pusingan keenam oleh kelas menengah yang lapar Nathaniel Gallimore (18-1-1, 15 KOs) daripada Kingston, Jamaica berakhir Jeison Rosario (12-1, 9 KOs) Santo Domingo, Republik Dominican. Kedua-dua pejuang keluar berayun pada pusingan pertama dengan Rosario mengambilnya pada ketiga-tiga kad skor hakim. Rosary, yang tidak pernah melepasi pusingan keempat mula perlahan pada pusingan kelima apabila Gallimore mengambil alih.
“Saya datang ke pertarungan dengan yakin kemudian pada satu ketika sesuatu berlaku, badan saya mula perlahan,” kata Rosario. “Saya menjadi sedikit letih dan saya mula melawan sedikit selamba. Rancangan saya adalah untuk kembali dan mula bekerja pada pukulan saya secara konsisten, itulah kelemahan saya sepanjang perjuangan.”
Gallimore keluar dari sudut pada pusingan keenam bertekad untuk menamatkan pertarungan dan berjaya. Dia menjatuhkan Rosario, tetapi Dominican bangkit berdiri, hanya untuk dijatuhkan oleh potongan atas yang keras. Akhirnya, ia adalah mata kail kiri yang menghantar Rosario ke kanvas untuk kali ketiga dan terakhir ketika pengadil Jay Nady melambai dari pertarungan di 2:15 daripada pusingan keenam.
“Dia bertarung benar-benar kotor sepanjang pertarungan itu, Saya rasa dia tahu dia terluka awal-awal lagi,” kata Gallimore. “Saya tahu saya mempunyai lebih banyak pengalaman jadi saya hanya mula memecahkan dia pusingan demi pusingan dan itulah yang membuatkan saya menang. Ini adalah kali pertama dia pergi begitu banyak pusingan, jadi saya fikir ia benar-benar sampai ke tahap di mana dia hanya cuba bertahan pada beberapa pusingan terakhir. Saya datang untuk menghabisinya dan itulah yang saya lakukan.”
Dalam acara utama siaran FS2 dan FOX Deportes, prospek super ringan Ladarius Miller (13-1, 4 KOs) mempamerkan persembahan yang mengagumkan sebelum berhenti Jesus Gutierrez (14-2-1, 4 KOs) dalam pusingan kelapan dan terakhir perlawanan mereka.
“Saya sangat gembira dengan prestasi saya,” kata Miller. “Ini adalah Ladarius Miller terbaik yang saya tunjukkan. Saya kenal dia sebagai seorang pejuang jadi saya tahu apa yang perlu saya lakukan di gelanggang. Saya fikir saya mempunyai dia dalam pusingan pertama dengan pukulan atas, tetapi dia berada dalam keadaan yang jauh lebih baik daripada yang saya fikirkan. Dia mengambil pukulan tetapi pada akhirnya saya tahu saya akan berakhir dengan kemenangan. Saya hanya bersedia untuk kembali ke gelanggang dan melihat ke hadapan pada cabaran seterusnya.”
Miller mengetepikan Gutierrez dengan gabungan pergerakan dan memimpin tangan kiri untuk mengawal bahagian pertama pertarungan. Gutierrez cuba merapatkan jarak antara dia dan Miller, tetapi tidak dapat melakukan serangan yang cukup untuk memperlahankan lawannya.
“Ia adalah satu perjuangan yang besar, Saya rasa kami memberikan peminat apa yang mereka mahu lihat,” kata Gutierrez. “Saya tidak mempunyai apa-apa selain menghormati Ladarius, dia keluar malam ini dan menunjukkan dari apa dia dijadikan. Saya teruskan tekanan dan saya fikir itu sudah cukup untuk mendapatkannya.”
Beberapa kesibukan bolak-balik menentukan dua pusingan terakhir pertarungan sebelum Miller akhirnya dapat menggunakan tangan kanan yang besar untuk memukul Gutierrez dan memaksa pengadil Russell Mora menghentikan pertarungan di 2:34 ke pusingan kelapan.
Perlawanan pembukaan di FS2 dan FOX Deportes menyaksikan bekas juara dunia Layla McCarter(39-13-5, 10 KOs) menguasai dan akhirnya berhenti Silvia Szabados (15-10, 6 KOs) dalam pusingan ketujuh pertarungan kelas welter mereka.
“Saya melihat pada awal pertarungan satu peluang, untuk pergi untuk badan dan itulah yang saya lakukan,” kata McCarter. “Dia menerima banyak kerosakan dan merupakan lawan yang sukar. Saya rasa saya boleh membawanya lebih sukar, Saya mempunyai kem latihan yang hebat, saya harap saya akan menghantar Layla yang saya tahu boleh saya bawa.”
Szabados tampil agresif sejak awal, tetapi pencabar veteran McCarter mencacatkannya dengan tumbukan kuat sepanjang pusingan awal sebelum Szabados mula lesu dan menjadi kecewa.
“Dia adalah lawan yang hebat untuk saya, pasti banyak lagi perkara yang perlu saya balik ke rumah dan kerjakan,” kata Szabados. “Keseluruhan, dia datang untuk menang dan dia menunjukkannya. Saya membawa banyak ketangguhan, tetapi akhirnya dia keluar di atas.”
Pengadil Tony Weeks memotong mata daripada Szabados kerana pukulan di bahagian belakang kepala pada awal pusingan ketujuh sebelum kekecohan terakhir dari McCarter memaksa pengadil menghentikan pertarungan 56 saat ke pusingan.

DETROIT (Mac 11, 2017) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Shields shined in her television debut, knocking out the durable Szilvia Szabados in the fourth round (1:30) to advance to 2-0 as a professional in the main event on ShoBox: Generasi Baru Jumaat on SHOWTIME at MGM Grand Detroit.

Shields (2-0, 1 KOs) put on a show less than an hour from her hometown of Flint, Mich., landing nearly 50 percent of her power shots in the first women’s boxing main event in premium television history.

Dia bebas (15-9, 6 KOs), Hungary, didn’t touch the canvas but never really stood a shot against an opponent that has been billed as the future of women’s boxing. Shields came out blazing in the opening round, backing up Szabados with crisp, clean punches as she out-landed her opponent 31-4 in the first.

Shields was a bit more patient and settled in the second and third, but the onslaught continued against a relatively defenseless Szabados. After a flush right hand, left hook combo in the fourth, referee Harvey Dock had seen enough and stepped in to halt the contest with Szabados still on her feet.

“It was about respect,” Shields said of her performance. “I wanted to go out there and show I had power and I wasn’t scared of her. I knew she was tough coming in. That’s why I started going to the body. I was going to get the clean shot in one round and she was going to go, but the ref stopped it in the fourth. A knock out is a knockout. It was exciting.

“I’m glad everyone came. I took advantage of this great opportunity once again. It’s another step toward winning a world title.”

Szabados said she was disappointed with Dock’s decision to stop the fight when he did. “I’m very sad and heartbroken right now because it only went four rounds and I could have kept going,” she said. “Her hits were not painful. Her right hook got me a lot, Saya tahu. I could feel that one.”

Dalam ShoBox bersama-ciri, Nikolay Potapov narrowly edged Antonio Nieves in a close, 10-round split decision scored 96-94 Potapov twice, 96-94 Nieves.

The technical match between undefeated top-10 bantamweight prospects was close from the opening bell. Nieves was the more active fighter, pendaratan 64 punches per round to Potapov’s 50, but the round-by-round breakdowns reveal that Potapov prevailed in total connects as well as in landed power shots.

“Saya fikir ia adalah satu perlawanan sengit, but I came on strong at the end,” Potapov said. “I had more and finished stronger. That made the difference. I am much more aggressive now and I sit down on my shots. That’s the difference training at Kronk has done for me.

I knew I won the fight. I wasn’t surprised when I got it. I wasn’t happy about the judging in my last big fight, but I thought this time I had done more than enough to win.”

Nieves did impressive work to the body, perhubungan di 59 total body shots compared to just 14 for Potapov, but it wasn’t enough to earn him the decision.

“Saya fikir saya menang. I thought it was a bad decision,” Nieves said. “I don’t even think it should have been a spilt decision. I thought I was up clearly. He didn’t really score like he wanted to. I was making him miss and landing all the sharper punches. Everything he was hitting me with I was blocking and coming back.

I don’t know why close fights don’t go my way. From here I go back to the drawing board. My whole team and a lot of the crowd felt like I won. I would love to fight him again.”

In a featured matchup between undefeated welterweights, Wesley Tucker (14-0, 8 KOs) edged Ed Williams in an eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-73, 79-71, 78-72 Tucker.

The foul-filled fight featured little action. Toledo’s Tucker landed 31 peratus daripada tembakan kuasa beliau berbanding dengan hanya 19 percent for Detroit’s Williams (12-2-1, 4 KOs), who was deducted two points for hitting to the back of the head on separate occasions. Tucker (14-0, 8 KOs) didn’t land a jab the entire fight, but his heavier shots and accuracy with his power shots seemed to be more impressive to the judges.

He was an awkward, long fighter, who knew how to move very well,” Tucker said. “I’m not disappointed it turned out like that. Not every fight can be pretty, so I came out with the win and that’s what matters most.

I was really frustrated in there, but I’m an action kind of fighter, so when he was running it kind of was pissing me off. He was all over the place. He ran the whole fight.”

Williams landed only 17 peratus daripada jumlah tumbukan beliau.

He didn’t show me anything I didn’t expect,” Williams said. “This week was a great experience for me, but you want to come out with a win and I wasn’t able to get it done.”

Dalam perlawanan pembukaan di televisyen, Joshua Greer Jr. handed bantamweight prospect James Gordon-Smith his firstloss with a brutal one-punch sixth-round knockout (2:06).

After a blazing first round that saw over 50 power shots landed, Greer pepped his opponent with a steady diet of counter rights as Gordon-Smith continued to charge forward and fight largely off-balance. Chicago’s Greer floored Gordon-Smith with a perfectly timed right uppercut in the opening seconds of the fifth and, despite looking dazed, Gordon-Smith rallied to survive the back-and-forth round.

In the sixth, Greer (12-1-1, 5 KOs) knocked Gordon-Smith out cold with a huge straight right that sent the Detroit native falling face forward as referee Harvey Dock immediately waved off the bout.

“I guess he blinked. That was the problem,” Greer said. “I told everyone when I got here I didn’t have that pillow for no reason. I said don’t blink and I wasn’t playing. I knew I was going to get him. The pillow is just my trademark. It’s nothing personal. You have to stand out somehow. That’s just what I do. Nothing personal to him.

“I knew what I came to do. I’m excited but I’m not shocked. My team knew what would happen and they had confidence in me. I knew it was only a matter of time.”

Gordon-Smith (11-1, 6 KOs) adalah 160ke- fighter to suffer his first defeat on the prospect developmental series. And Nieves would later become the 161st.

Jumaat quadrupleheader will replay on Selasa, Mac 14 di 10 petang. DAN/PT pada Showtime EXTREME. The telecast will also be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® dan Showtime ANYTIME®.

“I’m going for the knockout and it may come early, or it may not. Apa pun yang terjadi, I always put on a good show.”

 

ED WILLIAMS:

“This is one of the fights that will determine whether I continue and move up, or I do something different. Ini adalah ia. That’s what ShoBox has always been about for fighters like me.

 

“I took a break from boxing and got my college degree in industrial engineering. But I got the bug and came back. Things would have been much different if I would have stayed with it. I’m not doing anything with my degree yet, but will once I’m finished with boxing.

 

“I’m older but I don’t have many miles. I’m well-preserved. It’s going to be exciting and I’m looking forward to an exciting fight.”

 

JAMES GORDON SMITH:

“I’ve never lost to anyone from Chicago, dan Jumaat night will be no different.

 

“I’ve been around boxing forever and all the talking doesn’t bother me. I would expect nothing else. He’s coming into my backyard and should be confident. He’s coming in with an eight-fight winning streak. It don’t bother me. It just gives me the extra motivation to make sure no one comes into my backyard and beats me.”

 

JOSHUA GREER, JR.:

“It’s not my first undefeated fighter I’ve fought so it’s no big deal. Saya tahu apa yang saya perlu lakukan.

Pasti, we were going at it pretty good at the press conference. You can say it’s a Chicago-Detroit thing. Of course there’s a rivalry there.

 

“I’m fast, but people underestimate my power. My power is a bigger strength than my speed. It’s something not a lot of people expect of me.

 

“You will see fireworks from round one.”

“I started boxing at age 11 and all I really wanted was an opportunity. This is one of those big opportunities.

 

“Her having 124 professional rounds doesn’t mean anything to me. Her being 15-8 dengan 6 KOs doesn’t scare me either. But I am glad she took the fight and didn’t pull out.

 

“She’s a challenge and, di atas kertas, she’s not supposed to be someone that I can just walk through. But I’ve been in training camp for three months and I had a great training camp.

I’m not going to let her beat me in front of my family. I’m not going to let her beat me in front of my nephews and cousins and my mom and dad. I just don’t roll like that.

 

“If she doesn’t have the talent and skill to go six rounds with me, she will not go six rounds. Jadi, I hope she had a very good training camp. I know I did.

Antonio Nieves:

“I trained and did everything I have to do. I’m ready for war.

 

“Coming out of Cleveland, nobody gives us a chance. We have to fight for everything we get.

 

“I respect Potapov. Dia pejuang yang baik. He said he’s going to take my belt? He’s going to have to take it from me. I’m here to fight. I’m not going to just give it up. Come try and take it.

 

“When I get in there Friday, itu semua perniagaan. I respect him – I don’t have any problems with him as a person.

 

“I’ve fought a lot of Russians and Europeans. They’re straight-up, come forward, and try to put on a lot of pressure. They bring the fight and I’m ready for that. I’m ready for anything he brings to the table.

 

“Anything can happen in a fight, but I’m focused and ready and I know what I have to do. I’ll be able to adjust to whatever he brings.”

James Gordon Smith:

“I’m knocking you out. I’m not here to play games. I’m coming straight for you. I bet you I knock you out.

 

“You can’t punch. What are you going to do?

 

“I’m coming to throw bombs, so I hope you trained for this because I’m going to knock that smile off your face. Your coach can’t fight for you.”

 

Joshua Greer, Jr.:

Everything went well in training. Potapov is a solid fighter but I believe giving him some movement and coming in from the side is really going to help me get the victory in this fight.

We tried to get sparring partners that imitate him as much as possible, so when I get in there with him, there’s no surprises, but basically, I’m just going to stick to what I know.
A victory means a lot. We’re two undefeated fighters on the verge of a world title shot. A victory over this guy would put me to the stage of being in line to fight for a world title, so this win means a lot.
Nikolay Potapov
I had a great training camp in Detroit at Kronk gym with Javan SugarHill Steward. It’s been a great learning experience for me. Latihan, intensity, sparring, living conditions have been superb.
This is the most important fight of my career. Antonio Nieves is a very skilled, high-level fighter. I am focused on making a statement on Mac 10, and showing that I am one of the best bantamweights in the world.

Berikut adalah apa yang pejuang telah mengatakan:

Claressa Shields:

“I made history in the amateurs, so it’s very special to me to be making history in the pros too and also doing it so close to home in Detroit.

“For this fight, I did more road work and also worked hard on my fundamentals. With my coach, Jason Crutchfield, in my corner he knows my weaknesses and strong points, so we are strengthening all weaknesses.

“I know that Szabados has a lot of body endurance and a ‘no quit’ mindset in the ring. She has a lot more professional experience than me and is a huge step up for me, as it is only my second professional fight.

“With my reputation and name steady rising and me getting a lot of notoriety, I have really just been handling it by taking a few deep breaths and just not allowing myself to get too excited. When I think about Mac 10, I just wanna jump up and down!

“When I was an amateur, I followed women’s professional boxing the best I could. I thought a lot of women weren’t given equal opportunity. I told myself that for women’s boxing to grow, I’d have to go pro after winning the Olympics again. I felt in my heart that I would be respected and given a chance. I take advantage of every opportunity, so as of now, I feel women’s boxing is a sport that is going to be around for a long time.”

Nikolay Potapov:

“Nieves is good fighter, and he’s ranked in the top 10. I want to fight the best available in my division. A win over Nieves would be huge for my career and would hopefully lead to a shot at a title in the near future. I can’t lose on Mac 10.

“I trained hard to go the distance of 10 pusingan, but Kronk’s philosophy is not to leave it in the hands of the judges.

“I am thankful to Showtime and Salita Promotions for giving me another opportunity to fight on such a prestigious network. I am focused on bringing home the victory after spending time in Detroit training at the legendary Kronk Gym. "
