FNU Combat Sports Show: Loobujad ei võida kunagi

See FNU Combat Sports Show ülekanne algab nädala ühe vastuolulisema looga. Paljud sporditeadlased naeruvääristavad Guillermo Rigondeaux'd, kes kummardas eelmisel laupäeval peetud poksimatšis Vasyl Lomachenkoga.. ESPN-i Stephen A. Smith ei raisanud saate ajal aega, rebimine Kuuba poksijale, kes keeldus ühepoolse võitluse seitsmendas raundis välja tulemast. Teddy Atlas, ta pagendati oma ringraportimise kohustustest tänu oma otsekohestele seisukohtadele poksikorruptsiooni kohta ja vähemkogenud kommentaatorite abrasiivsele kohtlemisele, asus Rigo kaitsele. Atlas vaidles Smithiga tema enda kodustuudiost, põhimõtteliselt selgitades, et kõik on inimesed. Tom, Tony ja Rich pakuvad olukorra kohta oma arvamust ja oma mõtteid “võitlema.”

Jälgime ka võitlusspordi viimaseid uudiseid, tehke kokkuvõte möödunud nädala sündmustest ja vaadake sel laupäeval konkureerivaid UFC ja Bellatori sündmusi. Me puudutame isegi mitmeid lugusid, mis hõlmavad Floyd Mayweather Jr. mis sel nädalal spordimeedias tiiru teevad. “Raha” väidab, et võib teenida kuni miljard dollarit, kui ta läheb UFC-sse kolme või nelja võitluse kokkuleppeks. Hästi, Õnne, Floyd. Ma kuulsin, et CM Punk tahab uut võitlust.

Since my last fight, I have stayed in the gym. I can’t wait to give the fans in Texas and those watching at home on SHOWTIME another great performance.

Lipinets never backs down and he’s out to show that’s he one of the biggest punchers in the division. A win for Lipinets is a game-changer for his family and his career. A win for Mikey is another feather in his cap and will help him be recognized as pound-for-pound best in the world. I’m happy to be back in San Antonio at the Alamodome. I’ve promoted some big fights there. San Antonio fight fans are in for a real treat seeing two of the best fighting each other. I’m sure the fans will embrace this fight.
We have another intriguing matchup of two young, hungry undefeated fighters who lay it on the line every time they step into the ring,” ütles Tom Brown, President TGB Promotions. “As talented as Mikey is, you can’t count Lipinets out. He’s one of the hardest hitters in the 140-pound division. He’s a tough competitor and there’s a reason why he’s a world champion. He knows this is a career-defining fight and he’s going to do everything he can to spoil the party for Garcia in San Antonio on Feb. 10.”
In three consecutive fights on SHOWTIME since his return to the sport, Mikey Garcia has solidified his position on boxing’s pound-for-pound lists,” ütles Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President ja peadirektor, Showtime Sport. “Mikey has proven he’s willing to take on the most avoided opponents in any division as he seeks out the biggest possible matchups in the sport. He’ll face yet another dangerous opponent in Sergey Lipinets, an undefeated champion in his own right, as he seeks to become a four-division world champion. On the heels of Errol Spence vs. Lamont Peterson on Jaanuar 20, a matchup of consensus top-10 welterweights, we’re proud to deliver this main event of top-5 ranked fighters to build on the momentum.
Barthelemy (26-0, 13 Kos), who was born in Arroyo Naranjo, Cuba and now lives in Las Vegas, has won world titles at 130 ja 135 naela. He defeated Relikh by unanimous decision in his debut at 140 pound in his last fight on Mai 20. If he defeats Relikh again, he will become the first Cuban boxer to win world championships in three different weight classes. He defeated Argenis Mendez by unanimous decision to win the 130-pound world title in 2014 and a year later scored a unanimous decision over Denis Shafikov for the 135-pound world title. Barthelemy, 31, has two brothers, Yan and Leduan, who are professional boxers who he trains alongside with under the tutelage of Ismael Salas.
Relikh (21-2, 19 Kos) believes that he won the first match with Barthelemy and that the scorecards did not reflect the competitive nature of the fight. The 28-year-old nearly had Barthelemy out after landing a barrage of punches that penned Barthelemy on the ropes, but he was only awarded a knockdown. In the eighth round, Barthelemy came back to drop Relikh with a body shot. Shortly after the Mai 20 title eliminator, the WBA ordered a rematch, this time to be contested for the vacant 140-pound title. This will be Relikh’s second world title shot after the fighter from Minsk, Belarus lost a unanimous decision to Ricky Burns in Glasgow, Scotland on Oct. 7, 2016.

R.I.P. Kenny Barr

It was announced earlier today that Kenny Barr, Asepresident (Šotimaa) of the British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) and Scottish representative for the World Boxing Foundation (WBF) passed away yesterday.

 

Kenny, who was just 34 aastane, leaves behind his beloved daughter Hayley.

 

Gianluca Di Caro, CEO and Executive Vice President of the British & Irish Boxing Authority made the following statement on social media earlier.

 

“I am in total shock, I just cannot begin to describe the way I am feeling right now, I just cannot believe that BIBA Vice President (Šotimaa) Kenny Barr has passed away, it just makes no sense to me at all.

 

My sincere condolences to Kenny’s family and friends, my thoughts are with you at this time of immense sadness.

 

Kenny has been by my side since the inception of the British & Irish Boxing Authority and he was there by my side when we first began sanctioning events in the UK under the Malta Boxing Commission banner and I just cannot believe that he will not be by my side as we grow bigger and stronger over the coming years.

 

Kenny was the main man for BIBA in Scotland, it was his determination and passion for the sport that made us so successful in Scotland.

 

His passion for the fighters is undeniable, they were always first and foremost in his mind, helping them in any way he could. Helping them to achieve their dreams, that was his true passion.

 

I’m going to miss seeing your beaming smile mate, as well as your angry scowl, I’m going to miss your passionate debates, and I’m going to miss us working together pioneering fighter and event health and safety. I promise you Kenny that we will continue to fight the fight to make this sport better, safer, and continue to help the fighters achieve their dreams.

 

Rest in Peace Kenny, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten xxx.”

 

The Board, of the British & Irish Boxing Authority, as a whole join Mr. Di Caro in sending their sincere condolences to Hayley for the loss of her father, as well as to Kenny’s family and many, many friends.
