Informe Lucha: Fuegos artificiales en Liverpool – Tornero & McConville en forma de KO, Gallagher & Kennerdale obtiene impresionantes victorias.

 

 

Informe de Ringside de Gianluca Di Caro

 

 

El Viernes noche, sólo 24 horas antes del enfrentamiento del héroe local Tony Bellew con David Haye, Los fanáticos de las peleas de Merseyside acudieron con fuerza para un pequeño aperitivo pugilista en Hanger 34 en Liverpool para un evento organizado por el promotor local Kyle Gallagher.

 

Chico, oh chico, ¿les espera una noche de boxeo para abrir el apetito por la gran pelea?, ya que en términos de acción y drama, las peleas en sí mismas posiblemente no estaban tan lejos de estar a la par con las del 02 en Londres la noche siguiente.

 

Encabezando el evento estuvo el prospecto invicto local Dayle Gallagher, en acción contra Michael Kelly de Irlanda del Norte, Sin embargo, como el chico de Liverpool había elegido abrir el elemento profesional del espectáculo, para variar, empiezo el informe desde la primera pelea en lugar de la última.

 

Desde el principio, Gallagher tomó el anillo central y comenzó a presionar a su oponente más experimentado.. Kelly, aunque usó su vasta experiencia con buenos resultados para contener el rápido inicio scouser.

 

A medida que avanzaba la ronda, surgieron oportunidades para que Gallagher dejara rasgar con algunos golpes al cuerpo., Kelly, aunque está bien educado a la defensiva, lo que evitó que el joven prospecto tuviera demasiadas oportunidades antes del final de la ronda.

 

La segunda ronda fue un asunto mucho más abierto, tanto es así que hubo una gran acción de pies a cabeza, para el deleite de la multitud reunida.

 

Gallagher comenzó a tener un buen flujo en el tercer, a menudo retrocediendo a Kelly antes de dejar que se rasgue con ráfagas cortas y bruscas en el cuerpo y la cabeza. El irlandés se mantuvo firme y se abrió camino cómodamente para salir de problemas en numerosas ocasiones..

 

Más de lo mismo en el cuarto, aunque se pelea a un ritmo más alto en comparación con las rondas anteriores, Gallagher respalda a Kelly antes de dejar que rasgue con combinaciones de cuerpo y cabeza, como antes de Kelly contraatacó con buen efecto.

 

Con los fans incitando a su hombre, El ritmo en el último minuto más o menos fue frenético, con ambos hombres aterrizando algunos tiros realmente pesados ​​mientras lo golpeaban.

 

Después de cuatro rondas muy entretenidas, fue la mano de Dayle Gallagher sostenida en alto por el árbitro Matt Scriven, quien anotó la pelea 40-37.

 

Después de Gallagher-Kelly, el local Jonny McConville hace su debut profesional contra Phil Townley de Irlanda del Norte..

 

¡Qué lucha, McConville realmente fue impresionante en su enfoque controlado, llevar la pelea al irlandés y dictar los procedimientos durante gran parte del tiempo.

 

Considerando que era su concurso profesional de debut, el joven tuvo la confianza para mostrar sus habilidades con gran efecto, A lo largo de la pelea, McConville pudo cortar el ring con estilo antes de conseguir algunas combinaciones elegantes, así como algunos peces gordos..

 

No me malinterpretes, no todo fue tráfico en un solo sentido, Townley siempre está dispuesto a una buena pelea y estaba más que feliz de intercambiar tiros, aterrizando algunas galletas propias, pero era el joven de Liverpool el que definitivamente tenía el control.

 

Townley fue cortado de un gran golpe al final del tercero, que pareció encender el papel táctil azul para el joven Merseysider, que aceleró notablemente el ritmo.

 

En la ronda final McConville mantuvo la presión, respaldando a su oponente en numerosas ocasiones antes de dejar que rasgue con tiros importantes, seguido de algunas combinaciones elegantes.

 

En los últimos treinta segundos de la ronda, McConville aceleró el ritmo una vez más y empujó al irlandés hacia las cuerdas antes de dejarlo rasgar con un torrente de golpes de potencia., Townley luchó por contraatacar, así que optó por cubrirse, sin contragolpes a la vista del irlandés, El árbitro Matt Scriven no tuvo más opción que intervenir y detener la pelea a los dos minutos y cuarenta y cinco segundos..

 

El siguiente fue el muy esperado combate de peso pesado entre Sean Turner (1-0-0) y el debutante de Belfast Ryan Kilpatrick.

 

Que concurso de craqueo, por el tiempo que duró eso es, Ambos muchachos fueron a la guerra desde la campana de apertura. La multitud estaba de pie mientras los hombres grandes iban cara a cara, cada uno dejando rasgar con una salva de poderosos exocetas.

 

Mientras el reloj avanzaba hacia el segundo minuto, Turner encontró la más mínima apertura, Dio un paso atrás un toque y dejó rasgar con un disparo masivo al cuerpo para enviar al gran irlandés a la cubierta. Sorprendentemente, Kilpatrick logró ponerse de pie antes de que concluyera el conteo..

 

Desde el reinicio, Turner se lanzó al ataque., Dejando rasgar con más peces gordos, la salva final que produjo un disparo masivo preciso al oblicuo que envió a Kilpatrick a la lona por segunda vez.

 

Lamentablemente, por mucho que el irlandés haya intentado levantarse a tiempo para volver a batir la cuenta, él simplemente no pudo hacerlo, dejando al árbitro Matt Scriven sin otra opción que despedirse del combate en el minuto veintiséis segundos de la primera ronda.

 

Nota al margen sobre esta pelea, ambos hombres realmente sobresalieron, la calidad de la pelea acortada fue nada menos que sensacional. Por mi parte, no puedo esperar a ver a ambos luchadores en acción nuevamente y, con suerte, en el futuro uno contra el otro una vez más..

 

La pelea final de la noche ve al invicto Craig Kennerdale en acción contra el muy entretenido y experimentado irlandés Marty Kayes..

 

Desde el principio, Kayes fue con el pie delantero, llevando la pelea a su oponente más joven. El inteligente irlandés procedió a hacerle la vida lo más difícil posible a Kennerdale..

 

Kennerdale respondió bien y, a medida que se desarrolló la ronda, logró ponerse en igualdad de condiciones., lo cual no fue fácil ya que Kayes seguía escarbando en su bien surtido casillero en busca de tiros, y digamos entretenidos movimientos "profesionales", para lanzar una llave inglesa en las obras e interrumpir el plan de juego del Merseysider.

 

A medida que avanzaba la segunda ronda, Kennerdale comenzó a darle la vuelta al irlandés., mostrándole a Kayes que él también tiene una bolsa bien surtida de trucos y movimientos inteligentes, Tanto es así que durante largos períodos de tiempo pudo mantener al astuto irlandés a la defensiva.

 

Más de lo mismo en la tercera, Sin embargo, el cuarto fue un asunto mucho más reñido., con la ventaja compartida por igual entre los dos protagonistas a lo largo de la ronda.

 

Después de cuatro muy entretenidos, rondas llenas de acción El árbitro Matt Scriven anotó el concurso 40-38 a favor de Craig Kennerdale.

 

Evento de primera clase con peleas de acción muy parecidas, ¿Qué más se puede pedir?, como tales aplausos al promotor Kyle Gallagher por albergar lo que solo puede describirse como el preludio perfecto, para los fanáticos de Merseyside que es, antes de la inminente gran noche de pelea en Londres.

BROOKLYN (Marzo 5, 2017) – Keith Thurman is the unified welterweight world champion.
Thurman (28-0, 22 KOs) unified boxing’s glamour division with a split-decision victory over Danny García (33-1, 19 KOs) en sábado, defending his WBA belt and picking up Garcia’s WBC crown on boxing’s biggest stage in primetime on CBS from Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXEO ™.
El evento, which was produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for the CBS Television Network, marked the highest-attended boxing event in Barclays Center history with 16,533 fans witnessing just the 10º unification in division history.
The close affair, which was only the third time undefeated fighters unified the 147-pound division, was scored 116-112 Thurman, 115-113 Thurman and 115-113 García.
The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS main event, which was presented by Premier Boxing Champions, was a tale of effective aggression and ring generalship. Thurman came out swinging and was the busier and more accurate fighter in nine of the 12 rondas. “Una Vez” Thurman was more tactical in the second half of the fight, utilizing lateral movement and working off his jab. Garcia picked up the pace and was more active in the final rounds, but it was too little too late for the previously undefeated Philadelphia native.
I thought I out-boxed him.” Said Thurman, who likely earned a spot on boxing’s mythical pound-for-pound list with the impressive victory. “I thought it was a clear victory, but Danny came to fight. I knew when it was split and I had that wide spread, I knew it had to go to me.
I was not giving the fight away. I felt like we had a nice lead, we could cool down. I felt like we were controlling the three-minute intervals every round. My defense was effectivehe wasn’t landing.
A former unified champion at 140-pound, Garcia was aiming to be the first fighter in history to unify titles at 140 y 147 libra.
I came up short esta noche,” dijo García, who entered the bout with a 7-0 record in world title bouts. “I thought I was the aggressor. I thought I pushed the pace. But it didn’t go my way.
I thought I won and I was pushing the fight. But it is what it is. I’ll come back strong like a true champion. I would love a rematch to get these titles.
SHOWTIME Sports analyst and unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 116-112 para Thurman.

Lubin now becomes the No. 2 challenger to WBC Welterweight World Championship Jermell Charlo, who is due a mandatory bout against No. 1 contender Charles Hatley.
The Orlando-native Lubin landed 47 percent of his power shots across four rounds of shutout boxing.
I baited him with the jab. I knew he was going to come with the big shots early,” Lubin said to reporter Jim Gray. “I put a few tricks on him, I landed that overhand and it was night-night. I put my hands down to bait him in, I did a squat and then it was night-night. I was ready to follow-up with a right but he was already out.
At just 21-years-old, Lubin now has an opportunity to become the youngest world champion in boxing today.
That would mean a lot to me; that would mean a lot to Orlando, Florida,” Lubin said. “This is my second time knocking someone out in front of Ray Leonard. He’s one of my favorite fighters of all time. It’s an honor to do this on CBS.

Iceman John Scully’s 6th Official Amateur Boxing Reunion


Sábado, Marzo 18, 2017
12:00 Mediodía (until around 3 pm)
@ Monique’s Lounge (aka 108 Lounge)
181 East 108th Street
East Harlem, Nueva York
10029
I am proud to officially announce my 6th Official Amateur Boxing Reunion that will take place on March 18 at Monique’s Lounge in Harlem, Nueva York. I am expecting by far the largest turn out of any of the previous 5 reunions which were held twice at Rival Boxing in Las Vegas, once at Jimmy’s Corner in Manhattan and once each at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos.
Of the over 100 boxers attending this far, among them I expect the likes of 1988 Plata medallista olímpico Riddick Big Daddy Bowe, NYC Golden Gloves Champ “Veneno” Júnior Jones, 1984 Olympic champ Mark Breland, 1974 National Junior Olympic champ Marlon Starling, 1996 USA Olympic team captain Lawrence de Clay-Bey y 1988 Guantes de Oro Nacionales Campeón Marcos “Too Sharp” Johnson.
At my past reunions, including the most recent one held at the Rival Boxing Store in Las Vegas on Noviembre 18, we’ve had the likes of Roy Jones Jr., Alex “El Bombardero del Bronx” Ramos, 1992 Olympian Montell Griffin, former three time world champions Mike McCallum and Iran Barkley, y “El luchador” and Irish Micky Ward in attendance.
Among the most special of moments at my reunions, we had Mike McCallum and Alex Ramos, who met each other in the semi-finals of the 1980 NYC Golden Gloves, reconnect in Las Vegas in late 2014, we had Luis Ortiz and Lawrence Clay-Bey, who were brought together in 2015 at Foxwoods after not only not seeing each other in 38 YEARS but after not even knowing they fought against each other in 1977 until just a few days before they reunited and in NYC over the summer of 2015 tuvimos 1984 New York City Golden Gloves 156 pound champion and runner up Dennis “El mago” Milton and Jesse Lanton connect once again.
Any media who wish to attend the event in Harlem, New York on March 18 are more than welcome to be a part of the festivities.

Esto es lo que los participantes tenían que decir:
KEITH Thurman
This fight has been brewing for a long time. Both of us wanted this fight. There’s a reason why this fight is happening. We’re young, we’re hungry and we’re not trying to wait around. It’s time for this to go down.
“He tenido un gran campamento. Esto no es nada nuevo para mi. I’m happy to be in this moment with all these people here. I’ve had a dream since I was a little boy to be not just your average champion, but to be a great champion. Before I had that dream, Ben Getty believed in me and it’s because of him that I’m where I’m at today. He predicted this before anyone.
Danny is a smart fighter. He’s swift. He keeps rising to the top. He knows he has people underestimating him now and that fuels him. Para mí, I’m fueled by legacy. I want greatness for myself.
It’s Danny’s reputation against my reputation. We’re both prideful fighters. You’re putting two of the best together. He wants to prove that he can be a unified champion in two divisions and I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to get fights like this. I want to show how and why I’m better than my competition. Sábado night is my platform to show the world how great of a champion I am.
Danny looks ready. But I stay true when I look at you. His eyes wandered, so I wondered a little what that means. What really matters is how the fight starts. You find out if the fighter carries momentum, or if it shifts. What happens, when we land our first big punches?
He feels confident and I feel confident. I believe that I have more to offer. I feel that I can box my way to victory. I visualize outcomes. I don’t think Danny wins without a stoppage. If it goes to the scorecards, it’ll favor me.
There hasn’t been one opponent who’s gotten in the ring with me and said that my power isn’t for real. I think my power and my boxing IQ will be the same. I can change it up. I can do what I need to do, so you are unable to do what you want to do.
This is going to be a fight that you can’t miss. It’s going to be right in your house. If you can’t make it to the arena, you can make it to the couch. This is elite world class championship boxing in primetime. This is for all sports fans.
DANNY GARCIA
This deserves all the media attention that it’s getting. I’ve been a champion for five years already and I’ve been a unified champion. Sábado I have an opportunity to unify another division. It’s always been a dream to unify multiple divisions and now I have my chance.
We put in all the hard work. We did everything we had to do. I feel really good and I feel confident. En Sábado noche, I’m going to be a unified champion again.
“Yo lucho para ganar. I fight to secure my family’s future and that’s what it’s all about. That’s what we train so hard for. I’m going to give the fans something to watch en sábado.
Legacy is very important to me. I have more milestones than Thurman. This is his biggest fight. He estado en grandes peleas antes. Every championship fight is a part of history.
People say he’s the bigger man because he’s been at this weight longer than me. I’m taller than him, I’m wider than him and I have a bigger back than him. I feel like I’m the fresher welterweight.
You can’t chase a legacy or money. When you get desperate, you’ll try to take a shortcut. Everything I do is for the love of the sport. I’ve been blessed to be in this position.
I started boxing because I wanted a trophy. I wanted to show my friends a trophy. I didn’t know the value of a dollar, that came later.
“He sido el más débil antes. All ‘underdogmeans is that there are a whole bunch of people who don’t know what I can do. I rise to the occasion every time. I win because I’m better. En Sábado night I’m going to prove it again.
ERICKSON LUBIN
I made sure that I ate the right things and done everything perfectly during camp. This training camp went great thanks to my team and you’ll see the results en sábado.
If you don’t know me now, you will after Sábado noche. This fight is in honor of my dear friend and cutman, Todd Harlib. I wish he could have seen this, but I know he’s looking down on me,
“Tal Como Sábado night I’m going to make my mark in the division. I will become the youngest champion this year. marca mis palabras. We know my opponent is coming to fight. I’ve proven myself in past fights but I’m still young. I will become the mandatory challenger en sábado noche.
These type of fights bring the best out of me. Soy joven, fierce and hungry. I’m excited to get in the ring and perform.
JORGE COTA
I’m very thankful for this opportunity. I’m coming to fight and I’m coming to win.
This is a big opportunity for me and I’m going to take full advantage. My dream is to win a world title and I know I have what it takes.
I know I have a tough opponent Sábado night who people think very highly of. I have to believe in my training and keep throwing punches until I get the victory.
I’m very happy to be fighting in New York city as part of this great card and I’m going to put on a show.
Lou DiBella, El presidente de DiBella Entertainment

The fact that this fight is on broadcast television on CBS is a huge plus for our business and anyone who loves boxing, For a fight of this magnitude available to so many people is a tremendous thing for boxing.

Keith and Danny have been on a collision course for their whole careers. These guys wanted to fight each other. This is one they both really wanted to happen now.
