Provodnikov puts on heroic effort in Matthysse bout; “Siberian Rocky” once again shows why he is boxing’s most exciting fighter

Philadelphia (Aprel 20, 2015)— Bu keçmiş Şənbə gecə, boxing fans witnessed a classic bout that saw Lucas Matthysse eek out a close majority decision over Ruslan Provodnikov bir 12 round -junior welterweight clash in front of a sold out crowd at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
bout, which was televised by HBO Boxing After Dark, has already jumped to the head of the list for 2015 İlin mübarizə.
Much of the post fight talk has centered around the courage of Provodnikov, as he fought eleven of the twelve rounds with a severely cut left eye that was due to an accidental headbutt. With blood streaming down the left side of his face, and his eye closing, Provodnikov fought heroically to come back and hurt Matthysse several times during the bout, and in round eleven he landed a left hook that nearly sent Matthysse to the canvas.
Many at ringside, including The Bleacher Report, HBO’s Harold Lederman, Steve Kim of UCNlive.com, & Dan Rafael of ESPN.com, scored the bout even at 114-114.
“I could not be any more proud of Ruslan, said Banner Promotions Promotions Artie Pelullo.
“Şənbə night showed that he is the toughest and most compelling fighter in boxing. Şənbə günkü fight also solidified that Ruslan is the most television friendly fighter in the sport hands down, and there will be many more big fights for Ruslan in the near future.”

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
Başqa bir Classic Showdown

Welter Division

LAS VEGAS (Aprel 20, 2015) — Bu tez-tez olduğunu bildirib edilmişdir “ağır bölgüsü gedir kimi, belə boks gedir,” lakin həmişə belə olmamışdır və, faktiki olaraq, Gec geri dating hərtərəfli baxımdan baxıldığı zaman belə etibarlı ola bilər 19ci əsr. Ilə Boks, Alman müəllif Bertram Əyyubun epik, 420-şirin elm bütün aspektləri üzrə səhifə qəhvə masa dissertasiya, O yazır ki,, “Elegance başqa heç kimi gözəllik insayderlər və pərəstişkarları gördü altında 147 kiloluq ağırlıq sinif incə və çevik ulduz ticarət nişanıdır.”

 

Və belə ki, bölgüsü zaman zəngin tarixi bir benchmark giriş olacaq nə ilə, haqqındaMay 2 Las Vegas MGM Grand, pay-başı-view yaşamaq, Welter Siklet çempionu Floyd “Pul” Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) fellow titlist qalır Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 Kos) uzun gözlənilən birləşmə showdown ki, idman tarixinin ən zəngin prizefight olacaq, Premyer olan bəzi İş istinad ki, zərif marka ilə həkk bir çəkidə matchups və hansı müqayisə cəlb etdi.

 

Pacquiao Baxmayaraq ki,, yalnız döyüşçü heç səkkiz çəki dərəcəsində dünya çempionluqlar qazanmaq, və Mayweather, olan beş çəki dərəcəsində padşahlıq etdi, yalnız və ya hətta daha çox welterweights kimi kampaniya deyil, Bu boks ən böyük əfsanələr bir çox əsasən məlum olan üçün çətin ki, onların əlamətdar karyera ən mühüm kəsişməsində eyni bölgüsündə gəlir ki, bir sürpriz deyil.

 

Müəyyən artikl “qızıl standart” olan bütün welterweights gec qalır talib, böyük Sugar Ray Robinson. Born Walker Smith Jr., hər hansı bir səviyyədə bir sanksiya bout mübarizə heç vaxt cılız uşaq Kingston həvəskar turnirə bir tag boyunca məşqçi George Gainford idi, N.Y.. O daxil arzuladı bir flyweight əgər xahiş, Gainford Smith onun kol tugged heç demək idi və dedi, “Mən mübarizə edəcəyik.” Anlaşıldığına görə, Gainford bir AAU kart idi – lazım bir qeyri-professional kimi təsdiq olunacaq – Ray Robinson adı, idman imtina etdiyi boksçular biri. Smith / Robinson dörd dəyirmi qərar qazandı, və, heç kəs onu bildiyi halda, belə bir əfsanə anadan olub.

 

Robinson idi 85-0 da pro dönüş əvvəl həvəskar kimi 19 ilə 1940. Ilə 1951, o 128-1-2 ilə 84 nakavt qələbə. O da middleweight adı beş dəfə qalib yadda baxmayaraq, Robinson bir Welter Siklet kimi itirilmiş heç vaxt, tez-tez və belə basa basa qalib ki, əfsanəvi məşqçi, Eddie Futch, müşahidə daşındı, “O, hər şeyi var idi. Boks bacarıqları, Punch güc, böyük chin, ruhi gücü. O edə bilmədim heç bir şey yox idi.”

 

Robinson də outsized ego idi, olan bəlkə hər hansı bir böyük qırıcı ruhi makiyaj üçün zəruri komponenti. Bir öz qabiliyyəti şübhə belə bir iz ring uğur üçün əlverişli deyil. Dəfə, soruşduqda onun “golf oyun,” Məhəmməd Əli, golf oynamaq etməyən, cavab, “Mən yaxşı deyiləm, 'em bütün böyük. Mən hələ ifa deyil.”

 

Mayweather əlbəttə ki, onun iş məğlub olmazlıq ki, aura gətirir, o, çünki bəlkə yalnız hələ bir professional kimi itirmək deyil. Ilə 2013, dedi, “Təbii ki inanılmaz hiss. Mən yaxşı deyiləm. Mən beatable edirəm ki figuring hər hansı bir döyüşə gedən deyiləm. Mən heç ring daxil böyük döyüşçü kimi özüm üçün bir miras etmək istəyirəm.”

 

Pacquiao, bəlkə də verbose isə, öz inanc sistemində az təhlükəsizdir. Bu vs Mayweather etmək istedad və lovğalıq bu heaping tədbirlər. Pacquiao bir hadisə görmək lazımdır. Bu görkəmli döyüşçüləri hansı onun iradəsi digər bend edə bilərsiniz? Kim onun adı welterweights böyük kitab böyük çap yazılı olacaq?

 

Fame Beynəlxalq Boks Hall inducted edib 23 idi döyüşçüləri, bir dəfə və ya başqa da, Welter Siklet çempionu. Robinson əlavə, olan lövhə hallowed zalı lütf o Sugar Ray Leonard daxildir, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen Basilio, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Napoles, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Oğlaq” Lewis və “Sirli” Billy Smith. Onlar səsvermə üzərinə getmək üçün uyğun olmaq kimi Mayweather və Pacquiao əlbəttə tezliklə öz sıralarında qoşulması təmin olunur.

 

Mayweather üçün qurğuşun-up vs. Pacquiao bu bouts klassik təbiət fərqlənir keçmiş Welter Siklet qarşıdurmalar müqayisə heç bir çatışmazlığı istehsal olunub, onlara geniş ictimai maraq biletyoxlayan, və ya hər ikisi.

 

Mayweather vs deyil. Təkrar ola Pacquiao daha çox, demək, Leonard-Duran I, olan Duran iyunun bir rousing yekdil qərarı ilə qazandı 25, 1980, Montreal? epik Leonard-Hearns I, sentyabr. 16, 1981, Leonard gördüm, scorecards arxada, dramatik üçün mitinq, 14ci-Caesars Palace-da dəyirmi TKO?

Yoxsa heç bir müqayisə və ya tərtib edilə bilər ki, belə bir fərqli şəkildə öz iz edəcək?

 

Bu unudulmaz Welter Siklet bouts gəldikdə, artıq bir şey və hər şey mümkündür ki, aydın olmalıdır. Mayweather və Pacquiao tarix edəcək, və əlavə, öz məqsədinə taleyi hər əymək cəhd.

There was a point when I thought that they would stop the fight because of Ruslan’s cut, but his team was able to control it. I hurt my hand in the sixth round, but I kept going because I wanted to prove that I am the best in the division and that I am ready for the toughest fighters. I want to move forward and fight the winner of Mayweather-Pacquiao.”

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Şərh yaz

Ilə: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Pul” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 Kos) and Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos) are set to clash on May 2nd, 2015 in one of the most hyped fights in boxing history. This fight is so huge they are even planning to sell tickets to the weigh-in due to crowd control issues. The proceeds will not be going to the promoters or the boxers, baxmayaraq ki. It all goes to charity. Hələ, this is a first for the state of Nevada, which traditionally requires that all weigh-ins be free of charge for fans to attend.

The level of anticipation surrounding this fight had a long time to build up. For the better part of the last decade, these two pound-for-pound juggernauts could not make this fight happen for one ridiculous reason after another. As someone who personally attended some of Mayweather’s public workouts in Vegas, I can attest to the fact that the undefeated welterweight champion repeatedly and relentlessly cited Pacquiao’s refusal to undergo Olympic style blood testing when asked about the attempts being made to get this fight signed over five years ago.

Mayweather even came up with a little rap lyric to express the issue in simple terms:

“If you wanna fight the best, you gotta take the test,” he belted out during a sit-up session at one of those open workouts.

Pacquiao changed his tune on the testing and overcame the biggest hurdle of all when he met personally with Mayweather and agreed that he would be the “B” side and should therefore get a smaller split of the purse. As the video above outlines, Mayweather was then able to dominate the negotiation process.

Although pundits still say this fight will be the biggest in the history of the sport, the question must be asked if this pairing is happening too late in the careers of both fighters for it to be as exciting as some experts predict it will be.

It was always clear to me this fight would happen, but it became obvious that the longer it took to sign the contracts, the better Floyd’s chances of winning would be. Hələ, Floyd did admit in 2012 o the real reason he didn’t want to fight Pacquiao was due to health concerns. He denied being scared, calling himself “smart” for thinking about his family and his health first. Hələ, he insisted that the main reason his health would be at risk in that fight was if Pacquiao was really doing steroids, as Mayweather alleged and ended up being sued over. The two settled out of court and the fight is now imminent, so some fans think it’s all water under the bridge. Others are just plain aggravated that we had to wait this long for this bout to come to fruition.

Boxing Legend Marvin Hagler even commented recently that Mayweather waited until Pacquiao aged a little more before signing to fight him. Hagler compared Mayweather’s tactics to Sugar Ray Leonard waiting until Hagler became a little “soft” himself before they signed their fight contract. That bout turned out to be hugely controversial and left Hagler extremely bitter about the sport that made him famous.

Belə, the May-Pac fight will happen, and Mayweather is the obvious favorite. To learn more about the gambling side of this story, kontrol Boxing betting at William Hill site. The biggest payoff for any lucky bettor will be a successful bet on Pacquiao, but it’s easy to wonder if Pacquiao really is too old to win this time out. Hər şeydən sonra, there are tons of concerns with Manny’s calf muscles seizing up, and he reportedly uses a healing cream that costs thousands of dollars per bottle to address the problem.

Mayweather (38) is actually the older fighter, but the 36-year-old Manny’s fought 17 more bouts in the pro ranks and will likely be the most active puncher “Pul” ever faced. Mayweather’s normally spectacular and overwhelming defensive prowess just might be tested.

This fight may not be worth every penny you spend on tickets or the Pay-Per-View feed, but the fact that it is finally happening is still special. It will still be a fight boxing fans everywhere around the world can enjoy and appreciate. It’s ultimately up to the fighters to prove they are both up to the task of making sure this fight lives up to expectations. Chances are, Floyd will do his best to leave the MGM Grand with an uneventful decision win. Let’s just hope Pacquiao has enough left in the tank to make sure this is the most competitive fight Mayweather’s ever been in. It may not be the most opportune time for this fight to happen, but it’s a lot better to get it late than never.

What Pacquiao, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum and Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach bildiribÇərşənbə:

 

Manny Pacquiao, Eight-Division World Champion

 

“I feel very excited for the fight.

 

“I have a lot of sparring partners that are similar to Floyd’s fighting style, we have done well. We know what to expect.

 

“I have watched tape on Floyd to make sure that our strategy and technique in training camp is correct.

 

“My entire career defines my legacy; I have already accomplished great achievements in my career while excelling in different weight divisions. This fight is an additional achievement in my career; it’s the biggest fight in boxing history.

 

“I can say that beating Floyd would be the biggest victory of my career.

 

“More people are interested and informed about this fight now than they would’ve been five years ago.

 

“Style wise, I am the same fighter I was five years ago. My determination, inspiration and killer instinct is the exact same as it was five or six years ago.

 

“Mənim üçün, boxing is my passion. I enjoy boxing and giving honor to my country of the Philippines. My concern is to bring an exciting fight to my fans. My first concern going into every fight is how will be to be able to entertain my fans, give them enjoyment and make them happy.

 

“The reason I am so loved by fans is because of my reckless style of fighting. People like exciting fights with actual punches being thrown.”

 

BOB ARUM, Top Rank CEO

 

“Manny is motivated, he’s ready for the fight. I expect a great performance from him.

 

“It’s a very interesting fight because Floyd is a defensive specialist who has a good right hand and picks off his opponents. He’s an extraordinarily good fighter.

 

“Pacquiao’s strength is speed, particularly his foot speed and the fact that he throws so many punches and attacks from low angles. He really hits harder than Floyd does, so that’s really what it’s going to be about.

 

“Floyd has a different defense than Juan Manuel Marquez. His defense is primarily his shoulder roll. A lot of his defense is geared against a right handed fighter. Bildirib ki, ilə, I think Manny is going to surprise a lot of people with how he is going to be able to reach Floyd.

 

“I would say Manny is more motivated for this fight than any other fight I’ve seen him prepare for.

 

“I’m looking forward to May 2. I love Manny’s chances of winning, that’s the main thing. He looks great, he’s motivated, no nonsense, and I think he’s going to put on a performance for the ages. It’s going to be hard for him to top his performance against Oscar De La Hoya, but I think he will in this fight.”


FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao’s Hall of Fame Trainer

 

“We have a great idea of when and where we are going to attack Mayweather.

 

“This fight was five years in the making. Promoters should realize that these types of fights are what’s best for boxing and we should have more fights like this. I’m not surprised by the hype surrounding the fight.

 

“Manny has really raised the bar in this training camp. He’s a different Manny Pacquiao than I have seen him going into previous training camps. He is punching so much harder in training for this camp.

 

“Manny is better than ever, his attitude is different and I’ve never seen him work this hard. His speed is faster, his punches are harder. I’m really happy where he’s at. His legs look great; he’s on his toes all the time.

 

“Mayweather is a good counter-puncher, but Manny has faster hands and his combinations are better than Floyd’s.

 

“Both fighters have great experience, so I don’t believe that will be a factor in the fight. The biggest thing is that each fighter comes in with a different style. Floyd is a counter-puncher but Manny must be the one to enforce the fight.

 

“I believe that Manny being a southpaw will be a factor in this fight. Manny showed me tape of Floyd fighting a southpaw and told me that that is exactly what we are going to do in this fight.

 

“I can tell how much this fight means to Manny because he has watched tape on Floyd. Manny has never watched tape on any fighter before.

 

“Since Manny moved to 147 he hasn’t knocked many guys out, so getting the knockout in this fight isn’t a concern for me. If Manny fights at 140, then he does knock guys out, but at this weight he is fighting guys who are bigger than him.

 

“Floyd may be a bigger guy, but we will still win the fight.

 

“This fight is much bigger than when Manny fought Oscar De La Hoya. Manny is a different person going into this fight. He hit me so hard the other day that I believe it’s the hardest I’ve ever been hit by a fighter who I’m training.

 

“I don’t believe that Floyd ever wanted this fight, he was forced to take it by the public and the media. I wouldn’t be surprised if Floyd pulled out now.”
