Sergey Romanov preparing to ruin Magomed Sultanakhmedov’s comeback party
|
M-1的挑战 75, 三月 3 在莫斯科, 俄罗斯
|
| ST. 圣彼得堡, 俄罗斯 (一月 5, 2017) – Hot welterweight prospect 谢尔盖 “街头霸王” 罗曼诺夫 is training hard to ruin the comeback of Russian veteran Magomed “白狼” Sultanakhmedov in an interesting match-up 三月 3 在M-1个挑战 75 在俄罗斯.
该 M-1的挑战 75 主要事件, featuring a battle of undefeated welterweights between defending champion 阿列克谢Kunchenko (15-0-0, M-1的: 7-0-0), 俄罗斯, takes on Kazakhstan challenger 肖卡特·拉赫莫诺夫 (7-0-0, M-1的: 4-0-0),was previously announced.
M-1的挑战 75 将从莫斯科现场流的高清晰度上 www.M1Global.TV. 观众将可以通过登录在注册观看初步打架，主卡 www.M1Global.TV. 球迷可以观看所有的行动在他们的计算机, 以及在Android和苹果的智能手机和平板电脑.
Due to a series of injuries, Sulktanakhmedov (18-5-0, M-1的: 10-1-0) has been inactive for the past five years, since he knocked out Tyson Jeffries in the second round of their 2011 在M-1个挑战打 24.
A former M-1 Selection champion, Sultanakhmedov is dropping down one weight class from middleweight to fight Romanov. During his MMA career, feared striker Sultanakhmedov has knocked out the likes of Dmitri Samoilov, Victor Nemkov, Pavel Kusch 和 Pliinio Cruz, 更多的名人之中.
His tremendous flair and style makes him a fan favorite, especially his “one-shoot, one-kill” attack. The 32-year-old has fought outside of his native Russia, in the United States and Japan, and during his fighting hiatus he served as referee.
Although he isn’t looking past Sultanakhmedov, fellow Russian fighter Romanov hopes that an impressive victory over Sultankhmedov will position him for his first M-1 Challenge title shot against the Kunchenkp-Rakhmonov winner.
Romanov has had impressive victories in M-1 Challenge competition, including a decision over against Brazilian foe Carlos Pereira 去年十月 M-1的挑战 71, as well as a first-round stoppage via punches of 安德烈亚斯·伯格尔斯 this past June at M-1的挑战 68.
“I’ve been working on my strength,” Romanov said from his training camp, “because the champion in my weight class, 阿列克谢Kunchenko, is physically strong. I need to catch up. Not that I’m looking forward to a title fight, but I always have grandiose plans, 所以, we’ll see how that goes. 现在, I’m focused on Sultanakhmedov, and I think my fight with him would be no harder than a possible fight with Kunchenko.
“I started training camp with two workouts a day, but I felt sick and decided to cutback to only one workout a day until I soon return to full mode. I’ve been training at home (圣. 圣彼得堡) but will soon go to Ryazan to wrestling training camp. 然后, I will go back to St. Petersburg to prepare at camp, and go to Borovaya for boxing. My opponent is left-handed, so I need appropriate sparring partners, but the guys in my camp are a great help.
“I know my opponent well having watched his fights as a youngster when he was champion. 现在, we need to reevaluate him. He was a good fighter who trains at ‘Gorets’ where there is, in principle, guys there who are top level. It’s difficult to say what form he has now because he hasn’t fought in so long. 现在, he is at the peak age for a fighter, 32, 所以我们会看到. I don’t think I’ll be favored in this fight, but I will go forward despite being the underdog.”
 罗曼诺夫 (ř) is a solid all-around MMA fighter

总理拳击冠军
BALTIMORE (一月. 4, 2017) – Highly regarded Mayweather Promotions rising starGervonta “坦克” 戴维斯 (16-0, 15 科斯) is wrapping up training for his challenge of super featherweight world champion 何塞 “The Sniper Pedraza (22-0, 12 科斯) in the opener of a 精彩表演拳击锦标赛 world championship doubleheader on 星期六, 一月. 14, 从 巴克莱中心 在布鲁克林生活 开演时间 (9:30 P.M. AND/6:30 P.M. PT).
The 12-rounder between the unbeaten challenger (戴维斯) 和世界冠军 (佩德拉萨) will precede an eagerly awaited 168-pound world title unification showdown between WBC Super Middleweight World Champion 八斗杰克 (20-1-2, 12 科斯)andIBF Super Middleweight World Champion 詹姆斯DeGale (23-1, 14 科斯).
该事件门票促进梅威瑟促销和DiBella娱乐, 开始 $25. 他们可以在网上购买 (www.ticketmaster.com,www.barclayscenter.com) 或致电 1-800-745-3000.
戴维斯, 22, overcame a childhood filled with hardships to become a prolific amateur and has been virtually unstoppable as a professional. 作为一个业余爱好者 (间 2006-2012), he entered nine tournaments and came away with gold medals in all but one. He won gold in his last four tourneys, 包括 2012 National Golden Gloves Championship at 123 英镑.
由于在二月去亲 2013, the strong, aggressive-minded southpaw has played smash-mouth against mostly outclassed opponents, 胜利 13 他 15 knockouts inside four rounds. To many, Davis resembles a young, smaller version of Mike Tyson in the way he walks down foes, gets on the inside and unloads lethal hooks and uppercuts. He’s gone into the ninth round once and into the sixth round twice. A winner of six straight by knockout, 戴维斯’ lone fight to go the distance came in his ninth outing, a six-round nod over German Meraz, who went down twice, 十月 2014. Davis is coming off a 0:41, first-round KO over Mario Macias last 六月 3.
Although powerful, very fast and determined, the talented Davis is taking a significant leap in class and he may enter the ring as a slight underdog to Puerto Rico’s Pedraza, 27, a solid switch-hitter with first-rate skills, 移动和冲切力. This will be Pedraza’s third defense of the IBF 130-pound title. He’s gone the 12-round distance four times in a row and five times since his pro debut in February 2011. At 5-feet-8½, he is two-and-a-half inches taller than Davis.
戴维斯, the IBF’s No. 8-ranked super featherweight, who was born and resides in Baltimore, shared thoughts on his upcoming fight from the Uptown Boxing Center in Baltimore:
You’ve been a professional for less than three years, yet you’re less than two weeks away from getting a crack at a world title. What are your thoughts about that?
“It’s been my goal to fight for a world title. 我非常有信心. I’ve worked hard in the gym for over two months for this fight. I’ve put in the hours. I’ve had a great camp with great sparring. I’m not surprised the fight is almost here. This is perfect timing for me.”
Have you done anything differently in this camp?
“Maybe some little things, but not really. We take training seriously. We take all our opponents very seriously. But I have to treat it as just another fight, against another opponent. We know Pedraza is a world champion, a great fighter that comes to fight and we give him his respect as a world-class fighter. I know he’s going to be ready. He’s always ready when it’s time to get in there and do his job. But I’m prepared for him. He doesn’t know what we bring to the table.”
Are you surprised you’re not favored? When was the last time you were an underdog?
“I’m the underdog because he’s the world champion, that’s the reason. 除此之外, I feel deep inside that he’s the underdog, but that’s just my assessment. He won’t be showing me anything I haven’t already seen before.
“I’ve never been the underdog in a fight, so this is a first for me.”
When’s the last time you lost a fight?
“I’m competitive all around and don’t like losing. I can’t remember exactly the last time I lost a fight, maybe it was three years ago. All I know for sure is that my mind entering this fight is all about winning.”
Critics talk of your level of competition, or lack of. What’s your opinion of the fighters Pedraza’s successfully defended against lately?
“I’m not taking anything away from Pedraza; he’s beat Stephen Smith and Edner Cherry but those guys don’t bring the power, 速度, elusiveness and angles that I do. I’m not downgrading anybody, but they’re mostly average.”
Are you looking at this as an opportunity to showcase your overall skills, durability, 等等?
“A lot of people don’t realize the skills and talent that I have. They see me just going in there like a little Tyson or someone like that. But I have all the tools. I know how to box, how to move my feet. I have good hand speed. I work my angles and things like that. I’m an overall sound fighter, 一个拳击手，冲床.
“I think this will be a wakeup call for boxing, a chance to show that I’m the one. But I’m not coming to be just the top guy. I want to be a superstar and bring joy and entertainment to the sport. Pedraza will bring out the best in me and I will steal the show.”
How do you manage to stay in the moment, and not look back, or can you?
“I’m so thankful that I am part of a strong team, and that I have such a great team. I believe we have the greatest team in boxing. They keep me grounded, 专注的. They keep me from getting distracted. We all know what the main goal is. I can’t do it all myself, my coach can’t do it all himself, my manager can’t do it all himself. We believe totally in each other as a team. I listen to everything they say.”
How much is your past a motivation, or is it? When you look back at your life do you have memories or nightmares?
“I believe I’ve accomplished a lot. Me just being alive today, me not being in jail or in trouble outside the ring, it’s hard from where I come from. But it’s all helped me handle situations well. I’m so used to dealing with situations. I’m older and know what’s right from wrong. There’s never any pressure when I fight. I’ve won so many fights already I know what to do when I get in the ring.”
How long have you known Floyd? When did you meet him and how would you describe your relationship? What does it mean for Floyd to be your promoter?
“The first time I talked to Floyd (at length) was at the Adrien Broner-Shawn Porterfight (六月 20, 2015). Me and Adrien, we’re friends and he flew me out to Las Vegas for the fight. I worked out at the Mayweather gym and Floyd liked the way I fought, my heart. But the first time I actually met and talked to him came when one of Floyd’s press tours came to Washington, D.C.
“Floyd has always had a major impact on me and my career. I grew up around him. All of us wanted to be like him. Like Tyson and Ali were to the generations of boxers before me, Floyd was our superstar. For him to bring me under his wing, to fight for him, is unbelievably great.”

Q: 对于保罗·戴利......我们有机会谈谈你的时间表打安德森在之前 “Bellator 163.” 他做的重量, 但战斗并没有发生. 所以, 这是怎么回事更改时间? 你会做什么不同在准备和你怎么从布伦南病房期待?
保罗·戴利: 按计划，在我被安排在竞争的最后一个事件的事情没有去. 我做了重量, 但它是发生了什么事情后，这是问题. 这些问题已经冰释前嫌，我们应该对赛道的一切回来，我已经准备好了在什么将是卡上的最令人兴奋的战斗争夺.
Q: 对于布伦南病房......双方你在最近的表现也绝对令人兴奋的交付击倒, 所以我想知道你打的期望是什么，如果你认为这将是一个快速展示.
布伦南病房: 他们不只是排队两个家伙像保罗和我没有任何理由 — 像这样的卡上, 这可能是今年最大的卡和所有时间最大的Bellator卡之一==他们把我们的对决上有原因的. 他们知道烟花将要熄灭，他们知道这场战斗是不会的距离. 保罗和我打架结束, 这是我们做什么. 就像他说, 我们要穿上夜肯定是最令人兴奋的战斗.
Q: 我知道你和铁托在大学摔跤该剪辑已绕来绕去, 那么你从铁托想到这阵子比铁托你看到当时?
Chael Sonnen的: 看, 铁托的一个伟大的战士. 他是一个摔跤手的地狱......我发现他在一个位置，在那场比赛, I’m not hanging my hat on that. I’m pumped to be in there and compete against a Hall of Famer like Tito. I’m going to do everything I can to beat him, but I don’t dismiss how good this guy is.
Q: It’s been a while since we saw you in there with Liam McGeary in that title fight. 所以, from then to now, what’s changed and what are you going to show us?
蒂托·奥尔蒂斯: I’ve been at work now for three years. I came from the UFC and Bellator gave me a chance to reinvigorate my career and I want to leave on my own terms. I want to leave respectfully. Scott Coker has done an amazing job with the company already and I sat back, thinking about what would be my last fight. 他在波士顿音乐界广为人知，曾参与, I’m watching Bellator on Spike TV and Chael Sonnen comes screaming out, calling me a coward and saying that he wants to fight me and I swear there has never been a bigger smile on my face. I was already getting ready to fight in November. I wasn’t sure who my opponent was going to be, but I was getting in shape. I’ve been training now for almost four months and this is probably one of the longest camps I’ve had and it’s time to showcase my skills. Chael says he’s fighting because he’s jealous and that’s the wrong way to come into a fight. I’m going in to get redemption and to me Chael is my enemy. This is no game, this is nothing fun, this is what I do for a living. I train and I go out to try and hurt my opponent. I know what I need to do. I need to defend the takedown, I need to watch out for the punches, I need to watch out for the guillotine. I know all of the moves that Chael has done and my job is to go in and destroy him. 上 一月 21, two days before my birthday, I want to get the ‘Fight of the Night.’ I hope Chael’s in great shape because when I’m on top of him, he’s going to shit himself. I’m going to throw my elbows through his face and like I said, this is no joke. This is serious to me because my family’s watching, my kids are watching, and all of my fans are watching. I’ve given so much for this and I’ve sacrificed everything. I sacrificed my Thanksgiving, Christmas, and my New Year’s for this.
Q: Of all the guys you’ve verbally dueled with in your career, how would you size up where Tito stands? How does he compare to other guys that you’ve gone back and forth with verbally?
Chael Sonnen的: 男人, it’s painful. It was painful just listening to him read through that list of notes. He just rattled off all of his bullets right there in one answer and I think he asked to go to the bathroom during it, which was a little weird. I don’t care, I never thought about Tito Ortiz. I didn’t come to this organization to fight Tito Ortiz. I’ve been chasing Wanderlei Silva around, but Wanderlei is busy until the summer. They called me and asked if I’d fight Tito on 一月 21 and I didn’t have anything else going on, so I said yes.
Q: Beyond this fight, what are your goals in Bellator?
Chael Sonnen的: I want to compete at Bellator. I want to be a champion, get to the top, and compete with all the guys. I want to find a weight class. I’d like to do it at 205-pounds, but I think there’s an opportunity at 185 and now we have some big signings at heavyweight and catchweight too. I just think there’s a lot of opportunity over here. I can tell you as far as training, working hard and being prepared, 我就是做这个的. I do it every day. I will bring my skills to the fight and if they’re enough I’ll win; If they’re not, I won’t. That’s just the way that this sport is played and I’m just looking forward to competing with these guys.
Q: Coming back to compete in California, with your history with that athletic commission, you’ve already taken an out-of-competition test. How do you look at that process? Were you surprised by the test? Was there an understanding that it was going to be a part of the deal to get you back in California?
Chael Sonnen的: I was surprised by it. That’s why the test works. I was not ready to be tested and I didn’t know that I was going to be tested and I haven’t thought about it a whole lot. You have to understand that when you’re a guy with my background that’s just coming off of a suspension, that’s the way it goes. You’re going to have more tests than other guys and that’s just fair.
Q: 最后, can you just size up the marketplace since you left UFC and since they’ve been purchased?
Chael Sonnen的: 看, I’m brand new. I only know a few guys at Bellator. I know three people, that’s how new I am. I’ve been to two Bellator shows; one at Mohegan Sun Arena and one in San Jose. Both events were sold out! When I was in San Jose, I was sitting there and down the ramp comes the greatest heavyweight of all time, 费多尔艾米连科. Coker signed him and didn’t even say anything to anybody. The place was packed and the ratings were going higher. I wanted to come to Bellator when I saw 肯三叶草 walk the ramp and I thought this is awesome. Connecticut and then California, both sides of the country and both sold out. The household name that Bellator has become is amazing. I used to have to explain to people what UFC and what MMA was. When I tell people I’m with Bellator, they know exactly what it is. When Tito and I met in that college wrestling match, there was 80 people there tops, nobody cared. It was a big sacrifice just to show off in front of 80 人. To show off in front of a sold out arena, a record-breaking show, is fun. We get Paul Daley and Brennan Ward to entertain us before we have to go out and take care of business.
Q: 铁托, do you have any comment to Chael’s comments earlier about you reading from a script and all?
蒂托·奥尔蒂斯: This guy knows that he bit off a little more than he can chew. I’ve been through 20 years of competition, 韩元世界冠军, and stepped into that cage over and over again. 证据是在布丁. I’m sitting here listening to the tone that Chael has and it sounds like he’s drowning and on 一月 21, he’s going to be drowning in his own blood.
Chael Sonnen的: I told you he was out of bullets! I warned you ahead of time!
Q: Chael, congratulations on Celebrity Apprentice last night…great to see you on the debut there. How difficult is it for you to balance the Celebrity Apprentice, ESPN, your podcast, and training all together?
Chael Sonnen的: I hate days off. I hate it more than anything. When I look at my calendar before I go to bed, I hate seeing gaps in there. So as far as training goes, I’m in the gym three hours a day. It’s an hour in the morning, maybe even less, two hours in the afternoon, I’m out the door in three in a half hours tops. 所以, that leaves me with another 20 hours in the day and I like to fill it. I don’t like to sleep a lot and that’s just the way it goes. I like to stay busy, but nothing interferes with preparation for the competition. I haven’t missed a practice, a run, a workout, a sparring session; I go every day. I go to practice every day no matter what, 一天两次. There are parts when I’ll pick up the intensity and work a little harder and then there are parts when I’ll take a break to get a drink of water, but it doesn’t change for me. 我已经准备好去, 就是这样.
Q: Chael, I know you said that you had a little more of a looser camp, where you’ve trained with a lot of different fighters, especially due to all of the traveling. How has it been, having access to some elite fighters in other parts of the country?
Chael Sonnen的: I love working out in other parts of the country and I love going to different gyms. And that’s something new to me, because I didn’t used to travel. I was just locked at home in Portland, 俄勒冈, but we had a hotbed out there, with guys like Randy Couture and Evan Tanner, I could name drop for you and it would really impress. We had a really great system out there, but it dried up and some of those guys retired. Some of them moved away and some of the gyms closed down, so all of these new traveling has been great. I’ve got a lot of rounds in and worked out with Georges St-Pierre and a bunch of hammers out there that you’ve never heard of yet, but you will. I’m getting good work in and I’m learning from these guys. The one thing that I try to do, and I copied Randy Couture on this, is always train with the kids. He would be in high school workout rooms doing some wrestling practice and it was very hard for the next generation to ever get ahead of him because he always trained with that younger generation. 所以, I spend a lot of time with those kids and I have my own practices on top of that. I’m not positive that I can take Tito down, I’m not positive that I can out-box him; everything has to get better. I have to get stronger, 快点, better with more technique and better strategy and it all takes time.
