CLARESSA SHIELDS CROWNED UNDISPUTED MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION WITH NEAR-SHUTOUT VICTORY OF CHRISTINA HAMMER SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME

Atlantic City (April 13, 2019) – Claressa Shields is the undisputed middleweight champion of the world. The 24-year-old Flint, mene. 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. The judges scored the fight 98-92 i 98-91 dvaput.


The two-time Olympic gold-medalist Shields (9-0, 2 KOs), 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 Hammer (24-0, 11 KOs), 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 funti. 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,” rekao 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.


U co-istaknuta bout, Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KOs), widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, kept his unbeaten record intact with a 10-round unanimous decision over former No. 1-rangiran u SAD. amateur Rydell Booker (25-2, 12 KOs). The judges scored the fight 99-91 i 98-91 dvaput.


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 in overall punches landed.


“I think I had a decent performance,” said the Saginaw, mene. native. “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.”


In the telecast openerundefeated top-five ranked heavyweight prospect Otto Wallin (20-0, 13 KOs, 1 ND) and Baltimore’s Nick Kisner (21-4-1, 6 KOs, 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.


U vrijeme zastoja, Wallin led 14-3 in overall punches landed, 7-1 in jabs and 7-2 in power punches.


“To me, his cut didn’t look that bad,” said a disappointed Wallin, who was making his U.S. debi. “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 poslije podne. 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.

Koliko ste uzbuđeni zbog borbi u SAD-u??

Christina Hammer: “Zaista sam uzbuđen zbog toga jer je ovo veoma velika borba. Jedva čekam da stignem tamo, uđite u ring i ostvarite odličan nastup.”

Šta to znači za vas borba?

CH: “Ovo će biti najveća ženska borba u istoriji. Oboje smo šampioni, ima zlatne olimpijske medalje i druga priznanja, pa sa svim tim zajedno, to će promijeniti igru ​​za naš sport.”

Šta treba da uradite da biste pobedili?

CH: “Dugogodišnji sam šampion i znam šta da radim u ringu. Znam da imam vještinu da je pobijedim. Imam odličan posao i moj cilj je da je gadno pobedim.”

Šta mislite o Claressi unutar i izvan ringa??

“Biti model je lak posao, to mi samo daje samopouzdanje. Teško je biti borac. Morate dati sve, jer u ringu ne možeš pobjeći. Morate se boriti i pobijediti nekoga.”

CH: “Da, zaista je narastao poslednjih godina. Za nas ima još borbi na velikim platformama i mislim da je ovo samo početak.”

Da li biste preporučili drugim ženama da se bave boksom??

CH: “Boks je odličan sport. Treba ti tehnika, inteligencije i čini da se osjećate sigurnije. Ako se nešto desi, možete se pobrinuti za sebe. To je najbolji trening i predlažem ga svima.”

„Kada smo unutra, radi se o tome ko udara jače. Ovo je prava borba. Samo zato što ima visinu, ne znači da će ona diktirati šta se dešava. Moraće mnogo da uradi da me skloni od nje.


 
“Imam dvije zlatne olimpijske medalje, stižu tri pojasa i više. Imaću sve naslove krajem aprila uveče 13.


 
“Vredno radim, stvarno teško. Da sam muško, Vjerovatno bih bio jedan od najpoznatijih boksera tamo. Postoji rodna razlika. Svi to znamo. Radim na tome da to promijenim. Naporno radimo, dobijamo manje novca i manje priznanja, ali svijet se mijenja. Mi to mijenjamo.


 
“Hammer je pričala o mamu, ali ja nisam zabrinut za nju. Spreman sam za borbu. Ona priča o mnogo stvari koje nemaju veze sa boksom. Čekam da mi kaže da će me pogoditi aperkatom ili tako nečim, ali više je isto.


 
“Biti ovdje na Floridi da završim kamp je zaista bilo idealno. I dalje sam izuzetno naporno radio, ali ovdje imam malo viška prostora i sunca. Bilo je vrijeme za neke nove pejzaže u kampu i mislim da je ovo bio savršen potez da me odvede u tjedan borbe.


 
“Radila sam na svom 'Ali shuffle-u,’ ova teretana me je inspirisala. Nemojte se iznenaditi ako vidite da ga razbijam tokom borbe. Imam neke trikove u rukavu. Na konferenciji za novinare će biti i nekih iznenađenja - ja sam odabrao odjeću koja će ukrasti šou.”


 
“Ova borba je odavno zakasnila i drago mi je što ću dobiti priliku da joj pokažem šta je pravi šampion. Neko ide dole u aprilu 13 i obećavam da to neću biti ja.


 
“Ljudi mogu reći da ne obraćaju pažnju na vas i da vas ne proučavaju, ali oni lažu. Ipak mi je drago što me pomno gleda. Hammer je doveo jednog od mojih prijatelja tamo da bude sparing partner, ni ne znajući da me godinama nije štedjela i da ne zna ništa o meni. To mi daje do znanja da sam joj na umu. Ona može da sparinguje sa En Volf i još uvek me neće pobediti.”

Ray Robinson” I Won That Fight. I Am The Last Guy to Defeat Crawford. I deserve a Title Shot Against Him


NEW YORK (April 4, 2019)–Welterweight contender, Ray Robinson believes that he should have deserved the decision in his bout with WBO number-one ranked Egidijus Kavaliauskas in a bout that was seen live on ESPN this past Saturday at 2300 Arena u Philadelphiji.


Robinson of Philadelphia and Kavaliauskas battled to a majority draw in a bout where Robinson demonstrated great ring generalship and dictated the pace of the bout.

This is why I fell in love with boxing. To hit and not get hit, i put on a boxing lesson,” said Robinson.

I feel like I offset him. I was faster and the lateral movement confused him. I frustrated him. I just listened to my coaches and threw him off. I had a full camp, and it showed in my performance as I feel that I dominated,” continued Robinson, who won one scorecard by a 97-93 podudarati se, while two others were even at 95-95.

Kavaliauskas has been mentioned for a chance to fight undefeated WBO champion Terence Crawford, but with his performance, Robinson would happily step in the ring with the Nebraska native, as he showed not only he is a worthy fighter, but he also, Robinson owns a win over the consensus pound-for-pound fighter in the amateur ranks. Robinson feels he would repeat that result in the pro ranks, with an opportunity at Crawford.

I think now I deserve that shot. I am the last person to defeat Terence Crawford in the amateurs. The fans would want to see it, and I am sure he would want it. If it was me, I would want to fight the last person who beat me. If not Crawford, I feel that I deserve to compete with the top welterweights out there. Guys like Thurman, Nositi, Spence, Ali Sadam, Kell Brook, Adrien Broner. Any of them. I am a promotional free agent, so it won’t be difficult to make a deal with any of them

u Atlantic City, N.J.


Atlantic City, N.J. (April 3, 2019) – Neporaženi takmičari u teškoj kategoriji u usponuJermaine Franklin i Otto Wallin će nastojati da se oduševi i najavi se u teškoj kategoriji kada se uključe u odvojene borbe uživo u SHOWTIME u subotu, April 13 iz Boardwalk Halla u Atlantic Cityju.

SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIJALNO IZDANJE tripleheader će se emitirati s početkom u 9 poslije podne. ET/PT, a predvodi ga Claressa Shields koja se bori protiv Christine Hammer za neprikosnoveno žensko prvenstvo u srednjoj kategoriji.

Franklin će se suočiti s Rydellom Bookerom, dok će Wallin igrati protiv Nicka Kisnera u par atrakcija od 10 rundi koje vode do glavnog događaja. I za Franklina i za Wallina, vide april 13 kao korak ka njihovim većim ciljevima.

“Booker je na putu gdje ja na kraju pokušavam da budem,” rekao je Franklin. “Ja sam dio te sljedeće generacije teškaša i naporno radim da završim kao prvak u teškoj kategoriji kada se prašina slegne. Uvek nađem način da pobedim i to ću pokazati 13. aprila.”

“Dolazak u SAD. jer je drugi dio moje karijere veoma uzbudljiv,” rekao je Wallin. “Puno sam postigao u svojoj karijeri u Evropi, ali ovo je novi početak. Ovo je trenutak o kojem sam sanjao otkako sam prvi put vezao rukavice i jedva čekam da se predstavim fanovima ovdje.”

25-godišnjak iz Saginaw-a, Mičigen, Franklin se nada da će pokazati da je spreman da postane sljedeći američki prvak u teškoj kategoriji, i spreman je da preuzme plašt od trenutnog WBC titule Deontaya Wildera i duge linije američkih šampiona u teškoj kategoriji koja je došla prije njega.

“Podići ću konkurenciju među teškašima,” rekao je Franklin. “Divizija se definitivno vratila na mapu i planiram sudjelovati u stvaranju TV-a koji se mora gledati još jednom. Americi treba još jedno lice u teškoj kategoriji i to ću biti ja.

“Već vjerujem da sam najbolji teškaš na svijetu. Ima puno velikih, jaki teškaši, ali ja sam uravnotežen sportista, što me čini drugačijim. Ja sam jak, brzo, atletski i sa svakom borbom sve bolji.”

Iako njegova rodna Švedska nije poznata po boksu, Wallinova matična zemlja je prethodno proizvela šampiona u teškoj kategoriji Ingemara Johansona, koji je slavno zaustavio Floyda Pattersona u njihovoj prvoj borbi na stadionu Yankee u 1959. Nakon što je u svojoj posljednjoj borbi pobijedio kolegu švedskog teškaša Adriana Granata, Wallin je odlučio da je vrijeme za borbu u SAD-u., nakon prethodnih trening kampova u New Yorku sa trenerom Joeyjem Gamacheom.

“Trening ovdje u New Yorku mi donosi veliku energiju i to se vidi u mom nastupu,” rekao je Wallin. “To je centar svijeta, i dok sam u potpunosti fokusiran na trening, Hranim se energijom grada.

“Ingemar Johansson je naravno velika inspiracija za mene. Kada je došao u SAD. i pobijedio Floyda Pattersona, bio je najgori čovek na planeti. Želim da uzmem taj plašt i postanem heroj za mlade švedske boksere, kao što je bio za mene.”

Osim što je Wallin's U.S. debi, neporaženi teškaši će se prvi put pojaviti na SHOWTIME-u i to će biti Franklinu prvi put da se bori na sjeveroistoku. Svaki od njih se nada da će pokazati svoje talente i spremni su za ono što dolazi sa povećanom platformom.

“Ovo je odlična prilika za mene da pokažem svoje vještine, ali ja to i dalje tretiram kao samo još jednu borbu,” rekao je Franklin. “Prilagodit ću se svom protivniku i razotkriti njegove slabosti. Uvijek se usavršavam jer jednom pomisliš da znaš sve, tada saznaš da ništa ne znaš.”

“Ja sam samo klinac iz malog grada u Švedskoj i naporno sam radio da dođem do ove tačke,” rekao je Wallin. “Obuka ovdje u SAD-u. i borba ovdje će mi pomoći da ostvarim najbolji učinak u karijeri. Zabava počinje u aprilu 13 i ne stajem dok ne budem šampion.”

Obojica su nedavno potpisali ugovor sa Salita Promotions Dmitrija Salite i u aprilu 13 započeće godinu koja bi svakog borca ​​mogla ostaviti na ivici pogotka za titulu.

“Aprila 13 dvojica najboljih teškaša na svijetu, jedan iz SAD-a, jedan iz Švedske, će obojica imati priliku da tvrde da su spremni da se bore za titulu u teškoj kategoriji,” Said Word.

“Jermaine Franklin je daleko najbolji američki kandidat u teškoj kategoriji koji će uskoro biti kandidat i šampion. Imat će odličnu priliku da pokaže svoje vještine i vrijednost protiv iskusnih, gladan i uspješan Rydell Booker.

“Boks je sport individualnih priča i Otto Wallin je odličan primjer za to. Najbolje ocijenjen teškaš iz malog grada u Švedskoj, on pokazuje te snove, u kombinaciji sa napornim radom, može se ostvariti. On je jedan od najboljih teškaša iz Evrope i aprila 13 pokazaće da pripada eliti u SAD-u.”

Uz ovu priliku da se najave u ponovnoj teškoj kategoriji, Franklin i Wallin su spremni za nastup koji otvara oči sljedeće subote.

“Moj krajnji cilj je postati svjetski prvak i vjerujem da sam trenutno na pravom putu,” rekao je Wallin, koji je rangiran No. 5 od strane IBF i WBA. “Imao sam dobre godine boreći se u Evropi, ali sada je vrijeme da pređem na sljedeći nivo. Jedva čekam da svima pokažem čime se bavim i pružim navijačima sjajne borbe.”

“Planiram da budem glavna snaga u teškoj kategoriji do kraja godine,” rekao je Franklin. “To je moja coming out party. Osećam da će se moji snovi ostvariti. Svima ću pokazati ko sam: najbolji novi teškaš na svijetu.”

Ulaznice za live event, koji se promovira Salita Promocije, su po cijeni od $150, $100, $55 i $35 i može se kupiti preko Ticketmaster-a i naboardwalkhall.com.
