**Tým Barthelemy**

**LAS VEGAS** (Duben 16, 2019) – Bývalý dvě divize mistr světa **Rances Barthelemy** diskutoval o změnách ve svém tréninkovém kempu, když se blíží k volnému souboji o titul WBA v lehké váze s bývalým šampionem lehké váhy **Robert Velikonoce Jr.** konající se v sobotu, Duben 27 živě na SHOWTIME z The Chelsea v The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas a prezentováno Premier Boxing Champions.

Pokrytí na SHOWTIME začíná v 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT a představí se také bývalý šampion superlehké váhy **Viktor Postol** převzetí Francie **Mohamed Mimoune** v turnaji WBC Super Lightweight Title Eliminator, zatímco roste pocit těžké váhy **karikatura Ajagba** vypadá, že zůstane neporažený proti kdysi poraženému Němci **Michael Wallisch** v 10-kulaté heavyweight atrakci.

Vstupenky na akce, kterou propagují Mayweather Promotions a TGB Promotions ve spojení s About Billions Promotions, lze zakoupit vwww.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com nebo přes Ticketmaster.

Poté, co loni v březnu prohrál poprvé ve své profesionální kariéře v boji o titul vážící 140 liber proti Kirylu Relikhovi, Barthelemy odskočil, aby zastavil Roberta Frankela v prosinci, když se připravoval na návrat do lehké divize čelit Velikonocům. Od prohry s Relikhem, Barthelemy udělal z kubánského kolegu a bývalého mistra světa Joela Casamayora hlavního trenéra, když se chystá vrátit do řad šampionátu.

Zde je to, co Barthelemy řekl z tréninkového kempu v Prince Ranch Bones Adams Boxing Gym v Las Vegas:

**Jak zatím tréninkový kemp probíhal?**

“Všechno šlo dobře pod vedením Joela Casamayora a za asistence mého bratra Yana Barthelemyho a Oscara Vasqueze. Trénovali jsme dvakrát denně a sparovali jsme třikrát až čtyřikrát týdně proti solidním klukům, jako je bývalý mistr světa a bývalý soupeř Mickey Bey.. Jak říkají, „železo ostří železo’ a kvalita sparingu mi ohromně pomohla připravit se na duben 27. Cítím se lépe připravený jak psychicky, tak fyzicky, než jsem byl ve svých posledních zápasech.”

**Co si myslíš o Robertu Easterovi Jr. a co o něm víš?**

“Viděl jsem různé zápasy Roberta Eastera Jr. a velmi pozorně jsem ho studoval. Je to skvělý boxer, který rád využívá svou výšku a dosah ve svůj prospěch. Je to bývalý mistr světa, který bojoval s kvalitními soupeři. Zaslouží si veškerý můj respekt, ale jsme si velmi jisti, že proti němu zvítězíme.”

**Máte pocit, že jste se dokázali odrazit od své první porážky v kariéře??**

“Určitě ano, Dokázal jsem jít dál a využít tuto porážku jako lekci ve své kariéře. Říká se, že někdy se více naučíme v porážkách než ve vítězstvích, a tak tomu bylo i v tomto boji.

“Někdy nevidíme jasně, když vyhráváme. Když vyhráváte, přehlížíte špatné návyky nebo malé detaily, které potřebují opravu. Někdy je ani nevidíme. Cítím se omlazený a udělali jsme mnoho důležitých změn, které byly pro mou kariéru nezbytné. Uvidíte v dubnu 27 že z týmu Barthelemy zbylo ještě mnohem víc.”

**Co by to znamenalo stát se v dubnu znovu šampionem 27?**

“Nepochybujeme o tom, že se v dubnu staneme opět šampionem potřetí 27. To vrátí mé jméno zpět na vrchol sportu s mnoha potenciálními velkými zápasy, které je třeba svést. Bude to pro mě znamenat mnohem víc, protože kubánský box v současnosti prošel těžkou zkouškou a toto vítězství Kubě umožní znovu získat šampiona.”

**Jakákoli závěrečná zpráva pro vaše fanoušky před vaším zápasem?**

“Nezapomeňte se naladit v dubnu 27. Tento boj bude velmi konkurenční, se dvěma rovnoměrně kvalifikovanými bývalými mistry světa, kteří chtějí získat zpět své postavení na vrcholu sportu. Díky takovým zápasům je box skvělý. Kuba bude mít v dubnu opět šampiona 27!”

Atlantic City (Duben 13, 2019) – Claressa Shields is the undisputed middleweight champion of the world. The 24-year-old Flint, mě. native delivered the best performance of her career and cruised to a unanimous decision over Germany’s Christina Hammer Saturday on SHOWTIME in arguably the most significant women’s boxing match in history. Soudci bodovali souboj 98-92 a 98-91 dvakrát.

The two-time Olympic gold-medalist Shields (9-0, 2 KO), who entered the fight holding the IBF, WBA and WBC 160-pound titles, showed off her complete arsenal of skills in the dominating performance and now joins Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr Usyk and women’s welterweight Cecilia Braekhus as the only fighters to have unified all four major world titles in any weight class.

Christina Hammerová (24-0, 11 KO), who owned the WBO belt entering the fight, had her jab largely neutralized and her defense exploited from start to finish. Shields landed a remarkable 44% of her power punches and landed on 112 total punches compared to just 49 for Hammer. As impressive as her offense was, Shields’ defense and head movement was immaculate as Hammer was able to connect on just 13% of her total punches, 11% of her jabs and 18% of her power shots.

Speaking to SHOWTIME’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood following the historic night for women’s boxing, the outspoken and emotional Shields held nothing back.

“I am the greatest woman of all time,” said Shields, who nearly earned a stoppage during a barrage in the closing moments of the eighth round. “I did it. She didn’t win a single round. I almost knocked her out. I swear I feel like I’m dreaming right now. Thanks to Christina Hammer and her team. They said she had a hard jab and they weren’t lying. Her jab is off the chain.

“I was just calculating in the first round and after that I started picking her apart,” she continued. “I knew I could hurt her. I thought I finished her in round eight. I thought the fight should have been stopped. She was holding onto me. I just told myself, stay cool, stay cool. I was trying to get the perfect punch to get her out of there.”

Fresh off the biggest win of her professional career, the newly-crowned undisputed champion of the world already has her sights set on another opponent.

“Women’s boxing, we’re on fire. I cannot wait to see the next super fight. Give me Cecilia Brækhus at 154 liber. That’s who I want next. Either her or Savannah Marshall.”

“I didn’t fight very good or fast,” said a subdued Hammer. “That’s boxing, anything can happen. I wanted this fight. She won, respect to her. She’s a tough, strong woman and that’s all I can say.

“She’s fast, she comes forward. She has fast hands. I couldn’t land my jab as good as I expected. I’ll come back and I’ll be back stronger.”

“I think tonight’s fight will go down in the history books as an epic battle with the likes of Ali-Frazier, Leonard-Hearns and De La Hoya-Trinidad,” řekl Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions.“With this dominating and captivating performance to become crowned undisputed middleweight champion coupled with her list of record-breaking accomplishments, Claressa Shields is well on her way to being as revered as Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Serena WIlliams, Michael Jordan, Pele and others at the top of their game.”

V co-představoval záchvat, Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KO), widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, kept his unbeaten record intact with a 10-round unanimous decision over former No. 1-ranked U.S. amateur Rydell Booker (25-2, 12 KO). Soudci bodovali souboj 99-91 a 98-91 dvakrát.

The 25-year-old Franklin dictated the tempo throughout and was far more active and aggressive than his 38-year-old counterpart. Booker had his moments, particularly in the early rounds when he landed several flush power shots but the youthful Franklin pulled away in the second half of the fight as Booker tired and Franklin targeted the body. Franklin averaged 54 punches per round to Booker’s 35 and led 146-94 v celkovém dopadu úderů.

“I think I had a decent performance,” said the Saginaw, mě. rodák. “There’s some stuff I could work on. I over-crowded myself a little bit and I was a little over-anxious. He had a lot more experience than me and used it to his advantage. He could see what I was doing.

“I learned to stay more patient because I had him hurt a few times, but once I got over-anxious, my whole game plan went out the window. I started messing up and making crazy mistakes I shouldn’t have. Now it’s back to the drawing board to work on my mistakes and come out bigger and badder next time.”

“I felt he out-hustled me, but it was a lot closer than how the judges scored it,” said Booker. “He was missing me a lot more than it looked. I slipped a lot of shots and hit him clean.

“I knew he would bring the pressure, but he needs a lot of work. He stays too centered with his head. He’s alright. What he has on his side is youth. I’d rate my performance about a seven. I had a training camp injury I was dealing with. I’m going to stay active and come back stronger than ever.”

V televizní vysílání otvíráku, undefeated top-five ranked heavyweight prospect Otto Wallin (20-0, 13 KO, 1 ND) and Baltimore’s Nick Kisner (21-4-1, 6 KO, 1 ND) had their 10-round bout cut short when the two heavyweights clashed heads in the opening round. Wallin suffered a gash on the side of his head while Kisner suffered a cut over his right eye, hindering his ability to see. At the advice of the ringside physician in between rounds one and two, referee Earl Brown stopped the fight, resulting in a no-decision.

V době do zastavení, Wallin led 14-3 v celkovém dopadu úderů, 7-1 in jabs and 7-2 v elektrárnách razníků.

"Ke mně, his cut didn’t look that bad,” said a disappointed Wallin, kdo dělal jeho U.S. debut. “It’s a shame because I trained really hard for this fight and was looking to put on a show for fans in America. I just didn’t have time to get going.

“I’d like to get back in there soon and show what I can do. I’m going to take this as a learning experience.”

“I caught a headbutt and the referee came to me,” said Kisner. “He saw me swiping at my eye and said ‘can you see?’ I said, ‘soon as I get the blood out of my eye, sure.’

“I feel horrible after training so hard. I felt good in the first round. The judges probably gave him the first round, but I always take off the first round. I was feeling like I could get to him eventually. You saw me land my overhand right.”

Tonight’s live event was promoted by Salita Promotions.

An encore presentation of tonight’s tripleheader will air Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via the network’s On Demand platforms.

Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins called the action alongside fellow Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez.

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

**Klepněte na tlačítko ZDE for Video from Salita Promotions**

**Atlantic City, N.J.** (Duben 5, 2019) – Before she arrived in New York Thursday for the final part of her training camp, WBO Middleweight mistr světa **Christina Hammerová**shared her thoughts on her showdown for the Undisputed Middleweight Championship against WBA, WBC and IBF Middleweight Champion **Claressa Shields** Sobota dubna 13 živě na SHOWTIME z Boardwalk Hall v 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 koncertě, která je podporována Salita Promotions, jsou 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 Hammerová:** “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.”

***Co to znamená pro vás boj?***

**CH:** “This is going to be the biggest women’s fight in history. Oba jsme šampiony, 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:** “Nevím. 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:** “Ano, 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:** “Boxing is a great sport. 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.”

The two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Shields and unbeaten Hammer will look to become the sixth fighter in history to unify all four major world titles in the main event of a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIÁLNÍ EDICE (9 p.m. ET / PT).

Shields has been training in Florida for the last week with her trainer John David Jackson, after spending the previous five weeks at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado. Here is what Shields had to say Thursday:

**CLARESSA ŠTÍTY**

“Christina doesn’t know what’s coming for her. I’m going to break that Hammer in half.

“When we’re in there, it’s about who punches harder. To je skutečný boj. Just because she has height, doesn’t mean she’s going to dictate what happens. She’s going to have to do a lot to keep me off of her.

“I have two Olympic Gold Medals, three belts and more coming. I’ll have all the titles at the end of the night on April 13.

“I work hard, really hard. If I was a man, I would probably be one of the most famous boxers out there. There is a gender gap. We all know it. I’m working towards changing that. We work hard, we get less money and less recognition, but the world is changing. We are changing it.

“Hammer has been talking smack but I’m not worried about her. I’m just ready for a fight. She talks about a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with boxing. I’m waiting for her to say she’s going to hit me with an uppercut or something, but it’s more of the same.

“Being here in Florida to finish up camp has really been ideal. I’ve still been working extremely hard, but here I have a little extra space and sunshine. It was time for some new scenery in camp and I think this was the perfect move to take me into fight week.

“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. She can spar with Ann Wolfe and she still isn’t going to beat me.”

Six of his seven opponents in the welterweight division were former or current world champions and 12 z jeho poslední 16 opponents overall carried the same distinction.

“This is a huge fight for me and definitely one of the most important in my career,” řekl Granados. “I’m looking to dominate, look impressive and control the fight. I’ve fought in Southern California before and I’m looking to take advantage of the great Mexican crowd. This is Mexico versus Puerto Rico and Chicago vs. Philadelphie. It’s territorial on a lot of levels and you can expect us to leave it all in the ring.”

Representing Weslaco, Texas, the younger brother of former world champion Omar has a five-fight knockout streak that he brings into the ring on April 20.

A former interim champion and title challenger at bantamweight, Parejo (22-3-1, 11 KO) will look to make his mark at 122-pounds when he battles Figueroa on April 20.

“It means a lot to have this opportunity to fight on SHOWTIME,” said the 38-year-old Booker, who sparred with heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua in preparation for his September 2018 bout with Alexander Povetkin. “I’m ready to show my talents on a national stage so everyone will know who Rydell Booker is once again. I think Jermaine Franklin is a pretty good fighter but he has never fought anybody with my experience, knowledge in the ring or my ring savvy. I am going to teach him some new lessons on April 13. I have a bag full of goodies and tricks at my disposal that I will teach this young whipper snapper.”

Wallin (20-0, 13 KO), kteří budou dělat jeho U.S.. debut, Profesionálem v 2013 and has gradually risen in the rankings by recording 20 po sobě jdoucích vítězství.

“I’m very excited about making my U.S. debut on SHOWTIME,” said Wallin, who has spent the last two years conducting training camp in New York with his trainer and former two-division champion Joey Gamache. “To be fighting on such a big card is very inspiring. I’ve been dreaming of this moment since I first started boxing at the age of 15. I will put on a good performance on April 13 and introduce myself to the American fans. I will be one step closer towards my goal of winning the heavyweight world title. Like I’ve said before, I’m a kid from a small town in Sweden and I’m proud of where I’m from and what I’ve achieved so far, but I feel like this is when all the fun starts.”

The 28-year-old Kisner (21-4-1, 6 KO) has competed at both cruiserweight and heavyweight since turning professional in 2010 after a successful amateur career. Among Kisner’s numerous amateur recognitions, the Baltimore, Md. native was a three-time National Silver Gloves Champion, two-time Junior National Golden Gloves Champion and Ringside World Champion. He holds the distinction of being the youngest boxer in American history ever to win a Men’s National Title in the heavyweight division at 17 let. As a pro, three of Kisner’s four losses have come against opponents who boasted an undefeated record on fight night. Ve svém posledním záchvatu, Kisner defended his WBA U.S. cruiserweight title with a majority decision win over Scott Sigmon.

“I’ve dreamt my whole life of one day fighting on national television and now that the time is here, I’m going to make the most of it,” řekl Kisner. “Wallin is very good but I’m going to prove I’m one of the best heavyweights on the planet. I have proven my ability to beat the best in the world at both the amateur and professional level and I will do it again on April 13.”
