New wave of Canadian prospects Showcased last weekend by Eye of the Tiger Management
Rising super middleweight Schiller Hyppolite
MONTREAL (August 19, 2014) - A new wave of Canadian boxing prospects was showcased this past weekend in Quebec City by Eye of the Tiger Management (EOTTM) on its popular Fight Night Series.
During the past few years, EOTTM has developed a strong stable of world-class fighters, promoting and/or managing the likes of World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Bermane "B. Ware" Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KOs), world title challengers Dierry "Dougy Style" Jean (26-1, 18 KOs) and Antonin Decarie (30-2, 9 KOs), and leading contenders lightweight Ghislain "Mani" Maduma (16-1, 10 KOs) and middleweight David Lemieux (30-2, 30 KOs).
EOTTM's new wave includes a pair of rising stars, WBC FECARBOX super middleweight champion Schiller Hyppolite (13-1, 9 KOs) and undefeated welterweight "Super" Mian Hussain (10-0, 5 KOs), who were both victories last Saturday night in impressive performances.
The 28-year-old Hyppolite outclassed Irish super middleweight champion J.J. "Slick" McDonagh (10-3) for his eighth consecutive win, taking a unanimous 10-round decision by scores of 99-91, 98-92 and 96-94. A native of Haiti, Hyppolite is following closely in the footsteps of his fellow countrymen - Stiverne, Jean, Adonis Stevensonand Jean Pascal.
WBC FECARBOX 168-pound champion Hyppolite is climbing the leader, recently cracking the WBC's top 25 ratings at No. 24, and ranked No. 8 by the North American Boxing Organization (NABO).
"Schiller showed good discipline against a very strong opponent," EITTM president Camille Estephan commented. "The Irish kid said after the fight that Schiller would be a world champion. He definitely has the goods. When people talk about (Jean) Pascal and (Adonis) Stevenson, who both started out at 168 pounds, Schiller is definitely in the same league. After 14 fights, he's more advance than Pascal and Stevenson at the same stage of their careers. We have very high hopes for Hyppolite."
Hussian is a 24-year-old southpaw fighting out of Montreal like Hyppolite. He defeated Swiss veteran Flavio Turelli by way of an eight-round unanimous decision by identical scores of 78-73.
Hussian showed the heart of a champion gutting out this victory having suffered a torn tendon in his bicep during the opening round. Any movement thereafter caused severe pain for Hussian, who was decked for the first time in the second round.
"He didn't know what was wrong at first and he couldn't block a punch," Estephan noted. "He was dropped for the first time but he went on to beat his opponent with one arm. It was a sensational performance, under the circumstances, for him to go eight rounds to win. He almost knocked out the guy a few times throwing double hooks.
Going into the fight I thought he'd be a major star someday. Now, I'm even more convinced. Hussian is another David Lemieux. He has a lot of power, good speed and effectively counter punches."
One of the top teenage prospects in the world, undefeated junior middleweight Steve Butler (3-0, 2 KO), was supposed to fight last Saturday in Quebec City but his scheduled opponent failed a pre-fight medical exam.
"It was very disappointing for all of us for Steven not getting a chance to fight," Estephan noted. He's a great kid who works very hard. I wanted to get him in the ring as soon as possible and this Friday in Montreal against Sylwester Walczak on a show co-promoted by GYM and InterBox. Steven needs experience to learn. We want him to get in some rounds and he's fighting a guy capable of upsetting prospects. He's a much better than his record may indicate (4-14-1). He went the distance with Mian and some other good fighters (including former European champion Lenny Daws). We're interested to see how Steven does with him.
"Steven is already the darling of the Quebec boxing scene," Estephan noted. "He is the future of boxing!"

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 26, 2014) – Lamont Peterson dazzled in front of his hometown crowd on Saturday night scoring a unanimous decision victory over Dierry Jean to retain his IBF Junior Welterweight World Championship from the DC Armory in Washington, D.C., live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.
In the co-main event, 23-year-old top junior middleweight prospect Jermell Charlo remained undefeated in a unanimous decision victory over gutsy veteran Gabriel Rosado. The telecast will replay Sunday, Jan. 26 at 9 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Tuesday, Jan. 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME.
In between the main and co-main event of the evening, world champion Adrien Broner sat down with SHOWTIME host Brian Kenny for an in-depth interview following his December loss to Marcos Maidana.
Peterson (32-2-1, 16 KO’s) and Jean (25-1, 17 KO’s) kicked off the 2014 boxing calendar with an action-packed aggressive showdown. Jean began with a patient approach, looking to test the chin of Peterson after his devastating knockout loss last May against Lucas Matthysse. By midway through the fight Peterson made it clear that loss had no affect on him as he became the aggressor, putting on a show for his hometown crowd. As the fight progressed Peterson outworked and outlanded his opponent using combinations, speed and agility. At the end of the fight SHOWTIME Sports analyst and former World Champion Paulie Malignaggi emphatically stated, “Lamont clearly proved that he is still a force to be reckoned with at 140 pounds.” The judges scored the bout 115-113, 116-112 and 118-111.
After the fight Peterson said, “I knew that this was his [Jean’s] first title fight and this is a big stage. I knew regardless of what he said he would have some type of nerves. At the end of the day I was in shape and I was able to hold the rounds. I would like to be considered the best 140-pound fighter in the world before I leave [the division]. If it means Danny Garcia is next then that’s what it is.”
When asked how long it took to get over his loss against Matthysse, Peterson said, “At the end of that night I sat and thought all night and I came to an understanding of why I lost. Then I moved on. I was over it in 24 hours.”
Speaking to the crowd of 5,668, Peterson said, “I love my city. My city loves me.”
When asked about the loss, Jean chalked it up to the inexperience of this being his first title fight saying, “I think it is just a matter of experience. Life goes on you know. I am definitely leaving with my head held high. I have all of my fans with me and I fought a hard fight.”
Charlo (23-0, 11 KO’s) of Houston, Tex., who took a step up in opposition with his fight against Philadelphia’s Rosado (21-8, 13 KO’s), maintained his composure despite immediate pressure from his opponent. In the fifth round, a cut appeared over Rosado’s left eye. Referee Maleek Waleep ruled that a punch did cause the cut however the SHOWTIME replay showed it was caused by an accidental head butt. While the fight continued, Rosado clearly was bothered by the cut. Charlo smothered Rosado’s offense and kept him off of his game plan. Charlo rose to the occasion and won the fight via unanimous decision. The judges’ score totals were 97-93, 99-91 and 100-90.
After the fight, Charlo acknowledged his opponent saying, “Rosado is a tough fighter. He came to fight. He did exactly what we trained for. He’s my strongest fight to date. He did what he had to do. It’s about being in shape. It’s about being in shape to do what we do.”
Speaking about the cut, Charlo said, “Once I saw the eye leaking, I told myself let’s finish this eye up and see what the doctors do. I told you if his eye holds up, we are going to get some work in.”
Rosado also addressed the cut saying, “It’s kind of like my Achilles heel. It’s really tender so it just gets cut early. It is what it is. I am kind of… it’s disappointed. I am forced to fight this way, aggressive. Charlo boxed a good fight but it’s a little frustrating that I have to fight a different style. I have to fight aggressively [because of the judges]. It’s crazy because I didn’t get a round.”
Below are excerpts from Adrien Broner’s interview with Brian Kenny:
Regarding his first loss last December to Marcos Maidana…
“That’s not the first time I took defeat. It might not be the last time. But God has got something in store for me. I am set for a major comeback.
“Maidana did what he was supposed to do. He threw big shots. I was in a hell of a fight. It comes with the territory. That’s boxing. Sometimes you don’t get hit, but sometimes you do. It’s not about that. It’s about how you get up. And I got up and fought to the last.”
Regarding his corner and team’s concern mid-fight…
“It was the first experience for all of us. It was the first time we were in that situation and we handled it well. At end of day, we are ready to get back in there and, hopefully, we get Maidana again.
“What I need to tell everybody that isn’t inside that circle is that sometimes you get hit with shots you just don’t see. But we are going back to camp and we are ready for a rematch. If we could have fought him on Sunday we would have.
On a rematch with Maidana…
“Of course. I am a fighter. I have to fight him or everyone will say, ‘Oh, but he lost to Maidana.’ I am the closest thing to Floyd Mayweather. So when I lost people thought that Floyd lost.”
On his exit after the fight…
“I have to say I am sorry to my fans for walking out of the ring. I was very emotional. Like I said, it was my first time in that situation. I am sorry to my fans. And I am looking forward to the rematch.
“At the end of the day, I like putting on a show, losing or not. I still like to put on a show. And everyone knows when you watch me, you are going to see me put on a hell of a show. This is the best thing that happened in my career because now I see who’s with me and who isn’t. This made me see a lot of things. One thing for sure, I always got family. I always love them and they love me.”
