Wilder vs. Fury the rematch In-Depth Preview and Analysis
Mukaan: Tony Penecale
The Heavyweight Championship has always been the most noteworthy prize in the sport. Over the last few years, the interest in the fistic giants has dwindled. That has changed with the exciting power of Deontay Wilder and the charismatic showmanship of Tyson Fury.
With their first encounter ending in a controversial draw, they find themselves sharing the ring again. Both men with undefeated records and only a single draw (against each other) on their ledger.
The big men are taking center stage for the undisputed prize. “The Bronze Bomber” and “The Gypsy King”…. Who will reign supreme?

STYLE
Wilder:
A wild-swinging, often-sloppy fighter with long arms and fight-changing power in both fists, Wilder likes to set the range with his lead hand and follow it with a variety of power punches. He carries his power late into his fights and is capable of scoring a knockout at any time.
Raivo:
A confident, self-assured, and sometimes cocky fighter, Fury has nimble moves and quickness for such a large fighter. He combines good footwork with upper-body movement and ability to box either orthodox or southpaw, keeping opponents off-balance and setting up his own offensive attack.
THEIR FIRST BOUT
Wilder-Fury I: Fury opened the bout with effective movement, keeping Wilder off balance and unable to land anything significant. Wilder was able to land several hard jabs in the 4th pyöreä, trickling blood from Fury’s nose. Fury spent time in the mid rounds as a southpaw and found success. Wilder scored a knockdown in the 9th round but his follow-up attack left him fatigued, allowed Fury to regain the momentum through the 11th round. The memorable 12th round saw Wilder break through and land a right hand and left hook combination. Fury fell hard to the canvas, flat on his back. He amazingly rose at the count of 9 and was outlanding Wilder as the final round concluded. Alejandro Rochin scored 115-111 Wilder, Robert Tapper scored 114-112 Raivo, and Phil Edwards scored 113-113.
VAHVUUDET
Wilder:
* Power – The detonation at the end of Wilder’s fists, primarily is right hand, is of nuclear proportions. While his left hand carries substantial pop in it, it is Wilder’s right hand that is seen as maybe the most devastating punch in boxing today. He can end fights by landing his right hand straight down the middle, arcing it over the top, or splitting the guard as an uppercut.
* Conditioning – Early in his career, when he was ending all of his fights within a few rounds, there were question marks if Wilder would fade in the later rounds. He has proven that he can fight equally as hard in the late rounds and capable of a knockout until the final bell.
* Athleticism – Wilder combines a rare blend of size, nopeus, teho, and athletic ability where is easy to imagine him being dominant in any type of athletic environment.
Raivo:
* Movement – For a man with the size and physique that resembles a silverback, Fury moves with the grace and agility of a ballet dancer. He is light on his feet and possesses shifty upperbody movement that is uncanny for someone so large.
* Confidence – Fury is supremely confident in himself and believes in his ability. He shows little or no fear in the ring. His self-assured charismatic nature gives him a psychological advantage.
* Resilient – Whether it was climbing off the canvas against Wilder, overcoming a horrific cut against Wallin, or battling against depression and substance abuse, Fury has shown a toughness and resiliency that are to be admired.
HEIKKOUDET
Wilder:
* Sloppy – Wilder shows so much faith in his power that he is frequently wild and sloppy with his punches and footwork. He often times looks very amateurish in the ring.
* Trouble With Boxers – Fighters who use good movement and boxing ability trouble Wilder. He struggles setting his feet and is often a step behind. He was trailing Luis Ortiz in both fights and was outclassed for most of his first fight with Fury.
* Chin – The few times that Wilder was seriously chin-checked, he showed some flaws in his durability. Ortiz had him badly hurt and close to a knockout loss.
Raivo:
* Distractions – Fury is loving his new-found fame and talking WWE and MMA. He split with his trainer Ben Davidson and is calling his own shots. Fury also has spells in the ring where he loses focus and he has found himself on the canvas more than once during a lapse in concentration.
* Personal Life – It is well-documented Fury’s past personal demons with depression and substance abuse, along with a weight gain to over 400 lbs. While his triumphs over those demons is admirable, the lasting physical effects cannot be denied.
* Skin– It’s only been five months since Fury suffered a terrible gash over his right eye against Otto Wallin, requiring 47 stitches. While doctors have deemed the cut sufficiently healed, his tender skin could reopen at the most inopportune time.
EDELLINEN BOUT
Wilder: (11/23/19) – Wilder again scored a come-from-behind knockout against Luis Oritz. After being outboxed for the majority of the first six rounds, Wilder set his range against a tiring Ortiz and landed a pulverizing right hand which resulted in a one-punch knockout.
Raivo:
(9/14/19) – Fury survived a bloody contest with the undefeated but unknown Otto Wallin. Fury suffered a cut over his right eye in the 3rd round and the blood clearly affected his vision. Despite the impairment, Fury still controlled the action and hurt Wallin several times en route to a decision victory.
3 Parhaan tuloksen
Wilder:
* Arthur Pin (1/16/16) – After falling behind early, Wilder took over in the 4th round and started to settle down and control the action. A single right hand in the 9th round sent Szpilka down and unconscious, the 2016 Knockout of the Year.
* Gold Cup (1/17/15) – Wilder answered questions about his stamina by going the full 12 rounds for the first time in his career and capturing the WBC title in the process. Wilder utilized his long jab and kept Stiverne at bay with his underrated skillset.
* Luis Ortiz (3/3/18) – Wilder survived some scary moments against the oft-avoided Cuban veteran before prevailing by 10th round knockout. Wilder was troubled by Ortiz’s boxing skills early before knocking him down in the 5th round. An Ortiz rally in the 7th had Wilder seriously hurt but Wilder was able to regroup and score the knockout a few rounds later.
Raivo:
* Wladimir Klitschko (11/25/15) – Fury went into Klitschko’s backyard and wrested the unified and lineal heavyweight championships via unanimous decision. While the bout was a cautious affair, Fury was able to outwork Klitschko with superior footwork, liike, and a higher punch output.
* Derek Chisora (11/29/14) – Fury dominated the rematch with his British rival, boxing from a distance, switching between orthodox and southpaw, and punishing his adversary until the corner stopped the fight after 10 one-sided rounds.
* Deontay Wilder (12/1/18) – With the exception of two knockdowns and some curious judging, Fury was in control for most of the bout. He avoided Wilder’s punches and landed effective counters, making Wilder looked confused and off-balance in the process.
AVAIMET VICTORY
Wilder:
* Utilize his jab and negate Fury’s awkward style
* Keep his power punches short and compact
* Don’t get mesmerized by Fury’s upperbody movement
Raivo:
* Change the pace and keep Wilder guessing
* Use lateral movement to keep Wilder from setting his feet
* Do not get cocky against the ropes
KYSYMYKSET
Wilder:
* Can Wilder handle Fury’s unorthodox movement?
* Will Wilder employ a better gameplan?
* Will Wilder become frustrated?
Raivo:
* Will Fury try too hard for the knockout?
* Is Fury totally focused on boxing?
* Is his cut eye susceptible to reinjury?
PENECALE ENNUSTAMINEN
Both combatants are exceptional showmen and their respective ring entrances will have the crowd abuzz. The electricity will be at a fever pitch at the opening bell. With their familiarity, there will be less of a feeling out process than their first encounter. Fury will be on his toes moving forward and Wilder will try to time his advances and land counter punches. At the end of the 1st pyöreä, Fury will taunt Wilder and there will be an exchange of words.
Fury’s constant movement and single punches will trouble Wilder as his counter punches will find mostly empty air. The following rounds will be an exciting game of cat and mouse with the smaller Wilder in the role of the cat, futility trying to corner the larger Wilder.
Wilder will find success with his jab in the 6th ja 7th rounds and a looping right hand will catch Fury on top of the head, knocking him off balance to the canvas. Fury will rise, wink at his corner, and come bouncing back into action. The excitement will have Wilder swinging wildly and falling to the canvas himself after missing overexaggerated right hand.
With Wilder seemingly arm-weary from his punch output the previous round, Fury will turn southpaw and land several hard right hands, then bounce out of range of any counter punches.
Fury’s movement and higher workrate will carry the action through the championship rounds, leading him again to an apparent lead going into the final round.
The decision this time will be unanimous with Dave Moretti and Glenn Feldman both scoring 115-112 and Steve Weisfeld a shade closer at 114-113, all in favor of “The Gypsy King” Tyson Fury.

Itä-LA:sta Team USA:han perhosarjan nyrkkeilijä Anthony Herrera elää unelmaansa
COLORADO SPRINGS, Kierros. (Helmikuu 20, 2020) – Itä-Los Angelesin ikävistä kaduista Team USA:n laituriin on 19-vuotiaalle perhosarjalle merkittävä saavutus.Anthony Herrera, joka äskettäin valittiin jäseneksi 2020 Tokion olympialaisten nyrkkeilyn karsintajoukkue.
"Hyvin nuoresta asti,Herrera puhui kasvamisesta East LA:ssa, ”Vanhempani pitivät minua aina urheilussa. Urheiluharrastus häiritsi itse asiassa sitä, mitä kaupungissa tapahtui. Niin, Minulla ei koskaan ollut aikaa joutua ongelmiin, ja vanhempani pitivät minut poissa huonosta elämäntavasta. Kerran aloitin nyrkkeilyn, Otin sen vakavasti, keskittyä ja asettaa tavoitteita. Olin tuolloin hieman vanhempi ja halusinko osallistua nyrkkeilyyn vai halusinko tehdä siitä uran, oli minusta kiinni., ja minulla on aina ollut vanhempieni täysi tuki. Nyrkkeily on ollut iso osa elämääni. Odotan aina innolla seuraavaa harjoitusta tai kaikkea nyrkkeilyyn liittyvää. Se on osa imagoani tässä vaiheessa."
Toistaiseksi, vaikka, Herrera valmistautuu joukkuetoveriensa kanssa Yhdysvaltojen olympialaisissa ja paralympiakoulutuskeskuksessa Colorado Springsissä Amerikan karsintaturnaukseen, 26. maaliskuuta - huhtikuuta 3, Buenos Airesissa, Argentiina.
Herrera pääsee edustamaan maataan olympialaisissa sijoittumalla viiden parhaan joukkoon Buenos Airesissa, tai kuusi ensimmäistä sijaa MM-karsinnassa, Toukokuu 13-14, Pariisissa, Ranska.
"Paineen alla viihdyn,"Herrera sanoi. "En anna paineiden tunkeutua henkisesti niin paljon, että se vaikuttaisi negatiivisesti suoritukseeni. Se saa minut suoriutumaan paremmin, kun olen kehässä. Olen ollut paineen alla koko nyrkkeilyurani. Se ei ole vain tehnyt minusta paremman taistelijan tietyissä pelottavissa tilanteissa, mutta myös vahvempi ihminen kaiken kaikkiaan. Argentiinaan meno ei ole erilainen, hermot ovat edelleen siellä, mutta niin on päättäväisyyteni päästä Tokioon."
A 2018 Kansallinen PAL ja 2019 Western Elite Qualifierin mestari, Herrera sijoittui äskettäin kilpailussa toiseksi 2020 US-. Olympic Team Trials ja kolmas klo 2020 Strandja-turnaus Bulgariassa.
"Amatöörinyrkkeilysaavutus, josta olen ylpein, on tehdä Yhdysvaltojen karsintajoukkueesta kärpässarja," hän huomautti. ”Oli vaikea päästä tänne, ja tieto siitä, että voitin kohtaamani esteet tällä pitkällä matkalla siihen, missä olen nyt, tekee minut erittäin iloiseksi. Voin todella sanoa, että ansaitsin sen.
”Ensimmäinen kansainvälinen nyrkkeilyotteluni (Strandja) oli hieman erilainen kuin mihin olen tottunut. Käyttämämme varusteet ja ilman päähineitä taistelut loivat enemmän riskiä taistelussa, mutta minulla oli hauskaa ensimmäisessä kansainvälisessä taistelussani. Tunnen jo tuon ympäristön ja olen nyt mukavampi.
”Nautin todella harjoittelusta Colorado Springsissä joukkuetovereideni kanssa, koska se on hieno kokemus, jonka vain parhaat urheilijat saavat. Pidän myös kotona treenaamisesta, mutta Colorado Springsissä on vähemmän häiriötekijöitä. Saan keskittyä 100-prosenttisesti käsitöihini ja matkustaa enemmän.
Herrera, joka kuvailee tyyliään "swarmeriksi", painostaa ja murtaa vastustajansa, elää unelmaansa.
”Olympialaisissa taisteleminen oli minulle aina iso asia, mutta kultamitali on unelmani," hän lisäsi. "Olen aina halunnut sitä, koska kukaan ei voi koskaan ottaa sitä minulta pois, ja kultamitalin takana oleva tarina ja työ ovat korvaamattomia. Mielestäni se on vaikeampaa kuin ammattinyrkkeilyn maailmanmestaruuden voittaminen. Ollaan näin lähellä olympialaisia, Olen ylpeä itsestäni, mutta en tyytyväinen. Tiedän, että minulla on vielä tehtävää ja otan askeleen kerrallaan. Seuraava askel minulle on päästä olympialaisiin olympiakarsinnoissa.
Herrera selittää osan menestyksestään entisiltä ja nykyaikaisilta nyrkkeilijöiltä oppimisen ansioksi, toteuttaa kaikki käyttämänsä tekniikat hänen tyyliinsä, mukaan lukien, esimerkiksi, jalkatyötä ja pään liikettäJulio Cesar Chavez Sr., jaMike Tyson's kokoonpanot kehosta päähän.
Tokio on Anthony Herreralle kaukana East LA:sta.

Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda Training Camp Notes
Helmikuu. 28th in Florida showdown vs. lyömätön
NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo
LAS VEGAS (Helmikuu 20, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo "Tremendo" Castaneda (17-0, 8 KOs) has been in training camp since the beginning of this year in Boxers & Brawlers gym in his San Antonio hometown to prepare for his February 28th fight against North American Boxing Organization (NAAPURI) mestariYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 KOs) airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, klo 11:30 p.m. JA / 8:30 p.m. PT, from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.
Alamo vs. Castaneda is co-promoted by All-Star Boxing, which promotes Alamo and the event, and Castaneda’s promoter, Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Nyrkkeilytarjoukset.
“This is the biggest fight of Kendo’s career to date,” CEO & Co-FounderKeith Veltre said. “He is the type fighter who doesn’t back down from anyone and knows what it takes to get the win. Kendo trains hard and we are fully confident that he will come home with the win.”
The 26-year-old Castaneda, joka on sijoittunut Ei. 15 Maailman Boxing Organization (WBO), will take on WBO No. 8-rated Alamo, the defending NABO super lightweight champion, in the 10-round main event.
Castaneda captured the vacant North American Boxing Association (Myös) crown a year ago, taking a 10-round decision from previously undefeatedGilbert Venegas, Jr.(10-0), and followed that with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Dominican veteranEudy Berbardo (24-3).
Last October in Reno, Nevada, Castaneda stoppedMartynioukin osavaltio (20-3) in the sixth round, after which he was installed by the World Boxing Organization as its No. 15 rated super lightweight in the world.
WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the lone blemish on either fighter’s pro record, a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).
Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.
Training Camp Notes
(quotes from Kendo Castaneda)
Training Camp: “Everything here has been good. I’m ready to rock and get back in the ring. I’ll have no trouble making weight for this fight. My sparring partners are local guys, some pros, and other amateurs. I like helping up-and-coming fighters who want to turn pro. They have natural speed at 18, 19 vuotias, but their strength hasn’t fully developed, yet. They learn and I get good work. My No. 1 sparring partner, Limon, has had more than 100 amateur fights. His style is similar to Alamo’s. He’s tall and lengthy, but not as powerful as Alamo. He throws great jabs and boxes well, which will help me when I fight Alamo.
Yomar Alamo: “He fights off his back foot a lot. He likes to box and is a good counter-puncher.
He’s undefeated but who knows how he wants to fight? I like razzle-dazzle and I’ll quickly learn what I’m in for.”
Fighting in Alamo’s backyard: “I’m not concerned about that at all. My first fight with RJJ Boxing was in Las Vegas against a local fighter, Chuy Gutierrez, and I won that fight. I don’t mind fighting in my opponent’s backyard and I’m getting used to it. My last fight was in Reno against a California fighter, who lived a lot closer to Reno than I do in San Antonio. And I fought a local fighter in New Hampshire, when I had a bare-knuckle fight.”
How do you envision this fight going: “Alamo will go into the fight thinking it’s going to be a boxing match, almost like an exhibition starting the fight. But I’m going to go in strong, like a street fight, banging him around. I’ll catch him with some surprises, throwing hard blows. In the third or fourth round, I’ll start boxing more. Then it’s going to be too much for him, and I’ll take him out in the eighth or ninth round.”
Bout importance: “I think I’ll possibly get a world championship eliminator fight with an impressive victory. I’m a rare, old-fashioned boxer.”
Ennustus: “The referee will be announcing, ‘And the new NABO champion…..’”

PHILADELPHIA – February 15, 2020 - Undefeated 21-year-old lightweight prospect Isaac Cruz stunnedShoBox: New Generationveteran Thomas Mattice in a closely contested majority decision win in theShoBoxmain event Friday night from 2300 Arena Philadelphiassa, Pa. Watch the fight highlightsTÄSTÄ.
Cross, Mexico City, rode his superior work rate, a lethal body attack, and his ability to neutralize Mattice’s jab to the victory. The judges scored the fight 95-95 ja 96-94 kahdesti.
Cruz threw an average of 69.4 punches per round, compared to 57.8 punches per round for Mattice. The much shorter Cruz, standing at 5’4” ½, was fearless from the opening bell and held an 82-31 advantage in body punches connected. Mattice, 5’8” ½, was also out-jabbed 34-30. Making his sixth appearance onShoBox, Cleveland’s Mattice was hampered by another slow start, a theme in his previous appearances on the prospect development series. Through the first two rounds, Cruz held advantages of 49-15 in overall punches landed and 39-8 in power punches connected.
“We were going for the knockout but it didn’t come up so we’ll take the decision,"Sanoi Cruz. “I thought I won all 10 kierrosta. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. Round one to 10 I dominated and I was never hurt.”
A strong finish in the 10th and final round was not enough for Mattice to salvage a draw.
“I came up short,” said Mattice. “He was the better man. He could hit a little bit. I started out a little slow, trying to see what he had. He jumped out to an early lead and I was just trying to get familiar with his power. Minulla ei ole tekosyitä. Hän oli parempi ihminen tänä iltana. "
In co-varustellun bout, Ra’eese Aleem (16-0, 10 KOs) burst onto the scene in his national television debut, putting on a boxing clinic by scoring a fourth-round TKO in a scheduled eight-round super bantamweight bout over San Antonio’s Adam Lopez (19-4-2, 9 KOs).
Aleem, from Muskegon, Mich., proved to be overwhelming for Lopez, who was making his record eighth appearance onShoBox.Vuodesta avaamista kelloa, Aleem attacked from all angles as a reactive and slower Lopez was unable to cope with the wide array of punches. The 29-year-old Aleem held a commanding 92-11 advantage in overall punches, including a lopsided 61-7 power punches advantage.
With blood dripping from his nose and scalp, Lopez’s corner asked referee Gary Rosato to stop the fight at 1:31 of round four. Watch the TKOTÄSTÄ.
“I put in a lot of hard work,” said Aleem, who now lives and trains in Las Vegas. “I didn’t see any film on the guy but knew he was a tough Mexican fighter. Once we got in there, I could see the speed difference. I could see his punches coming. I did rush some punches and made some mistakes. But it was good and I kept my hands up and my speed and movements were good. And I’m glad I stopped him. I didn’t want to go the distance.
“I want a world title fight and I’m knocking on the door. I’m hungry and I’m ready. I know Danny Roman just lost the title. Brandon Figueroa, whoever is there in the top-10 I’m ready for. I’m hungry and I’m coming and I want that fight.”
In the second fight of the four-fight telecast, Cleveland’s flashy unbeaten super lightweight Montana Love (13-0-1, 6 KOs) paransi hänen ennätys 2-0-1 päälläShoBox, putting in a professional display en route to a unanimous decision over Jerrico Walton (16-1, 7 KOs), who fights out of Houston by way of New Orleans. The judges scored the fight 78-74 ja 77-75 kahdesti. Watch fight highlightsTÄSTÄ
“I think Love did enough to win,” said SHOWTIME Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. “The rounds he won, he won more convincingly. Love did the serious damage in the fight.”
Walton, with noted trainer Ronnie Shields working his corner, threw slightly more punches than Love, but in a fight decided by big moments, Love had more of them, varsinkin loppupuolella kierroksilla. Love was more accurate on his power punches (43 percent to 21 prosentti) and in body shots (56-23). The southpaw also hurt Walton on two separate occasions, but the 29-year-old did enough to hang on and survive the rounds.
“I give my performance a C-plus,” said the 25-year-old Love. “I could have been more active in there. I didn’t get hit a lot and I hurt him a few times but I let him off the hook.
“I was getting off good shots, and the thing I’m mad about is that the fight should not have gone the distance. I’m ready for whatever’s next. My team is trying to get me to 135 kiloa. "
Walton was making his national television debut. “I think the fight was closer than it was scored; I think it was at least a draw,", Hän sanoi. “I don’t think the fight was 78-74. I’m very disappointed but I’m not going to stop. They’re going to see me again. This is only going to push me harder.”
With his first career loss, Walton became the 191st fighter to lose his undefeated record onShoBox, boxing’s ultimate proving ground.
In a battle of unbeaten super welterweights making theirShoBox debuts in the telecast opener, North Carolina’s Joseph Jackson (16-0, 12 KOs) handed Derrick Colemon, Jr. (11-1, 8 KOs) his first career loss. Jackson overcame a slow start to earn the unanimous decision. Tulokset olivat 77-75, 80-72, 78-74. Watch the decisionTÄSTÄ.
The younger and more aggressive Colemon of Detroit started strong, controlling the first three rounds before the savvier and more mature Jackson commanded the second half of the bout. In rounds six through eight, Jackson out-landed Colemon 76-19 overall and 50-9 virta lyöntejä. Jackson’s movement and activity frustrated and tired Colemon, who went past five rounds for the first time in his career. Farhood scored the first three rounds in favor of Colemon and the final five rounds for Jackson.
“We just dug deep and got the job done,” said the 31-year-old Jackson. “I’d give my performance an eight out of 10. I know I can show better. I had about 40 people come out from Greensboro, N.C., and support me.
“I’ll fight whoever they put out in front of me next. It’s SHOWTIME and my first televised fight and first fight outside of North Carolina so it was important to put on a show.”
Friday’s fights were promoted by King’s Promotions in association with GH3 Promotions. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Helmikuu 17 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.
