STYLE
Wilder:
Un swing sauvage, combattant souvent bâclé avec de longs bras et une puissance de changement de combat dans les deux poings, Wilder aime définir la gamme avec sa main de tête et la suivre avec une variété de coups de poing puissants. Il porte son pouvoir tard dans ses combats et est capable de marquer un KO à tout moment.
Fureur:
Un confiant, sûr de lui, et parfois un combattant arrogant, Fury a des mouvements agiles et une rapidité pour un si gros combattant. Il combine un bon jeu de jambes avec des mouvements du haut du corps et une capacité à boxer orthodoxe ou gaucher, déséquilibrer les adversaires et mettre en place sa propre attaque offensive.
LEUR PREMIER BOUT
Wilder-Fury I:Fury a ouvert le combat avec un mouvement efficace, garder Wilder déséquilibré et incapable de décrocher quoi que ce soit de significatif Wilder a réussi à décrocher plusieurs coups durs dans le 4e tour, du sang coulant du nez de Fury. Fury a passé du temps au milieu des tours en tant que gaucher et a trouvé le succès. Wilder a marqué un renversement dans le 9e rond mais son attaque de suivi l'a laissé fatigué, a permis à Fury de reprendre son élan grâce au 11e rond. Le mémorable 12e a vu Wilder percer et atterrir une combinaison de crochets droit et gauche. Fury est tombé dur sur la toile, à plat sur le dos. Il s'est étonnamment élevé au décompte de 9 et devançait Wilder à la fin du dernier tour. Alejandro Rochin a marqué 115-111 Wilder, Robert Tapper a marqué 114-112 Fureur, et Phil Edwards a marqué 113-113.
POINTS FORTS
Wilder:
* Puissance - La détonation au bout des poings de Wilder, est principalement la main droite, est de proportions nucléaires. Alors que sa main gauche porte un pop substantiel, c'est la main droite de Wilder qui est considérée comme peut-être le coup de poing le plus dévastateur de la boxe aujourd'hui. Il peut mettre fin aux combats en posant sa main droite au milieu, l'arc au-dessus, ou fendre la garde comme un uppercut.
* Conditionnement - Au début de sa carrière, quand il terminait tous ses combats en quelques rounds, il y avait des points d'interrogation si Wilder s'estomperait dans les derniers tours. Il a prouvé qu'il pouvait se battre tout aussi fort dans les derniers rounds et capable d'un KO jusqu'à la cloche finale.
* Athlétisme - Wilder combine un mélange rare de taille, vitesse, puissance, et la capacité athlétique où il est facile de l'imaginer dominant dans tout type d'environnement sportif.
Fureur:
* Mouvement - Pour un homme avec la taille et le physique qui ressemblent à un dos argenté, Fury se déplace avec la grâce et l'agilité d'un danseur de ballet. Il est léger sur ses pieds et possède un mouvement du haut du corps sournois qui est étrange pour quelqu'un d'aussi grand.
* Confiance - Fury est extrêmement confiant en lui-même et croit en sa capacité. Il montre peu ou pas de peur sur le ring. Sa nature charismatique assurée lui donne un avantage psychologique.
* Résilient - S'il grimpait de la toile contre Wilder, surmonter une horrible coupure contre Wallin, ou lutter contre la dépression et la toxicomanie, Fury a montré une dureté et une résilience qui doivent être admirées.
FAIBLESSES
Wilder:
* Sloppy - Wilder montre tellement de confiance en sa puissance qu'il est souvent sauvage et négligé avec ses coups de poing et son jeu de jambes. Il a souvent l'air très amateur sur le ring.
* Problème avec les boxeurs - Les combattants qui utilisent un bon mouvement et des capacités de boxe perturbent Wilder. Il a du mal à mettre ses pieds et est souvent un pas en arrière. Il suivait Luis Ortiz dans les deux combats et a été surclassé pour la plupart de son premier combat avec Fury.
* Chin - Les rares fois où Wilder a été sérieusement vérifié au menton, il a montré quelques défauts dans sa durabilité. Ortiz l'avait gravement blessé et près d'une défaite par élimination directe.
Fureur:
* Distractions - Fury adore sa nouvelle renommée et parle de la WWE et du MMA. Il s'est séparé de son entraîneur Ben Davidson et appelle ses propres coups. Fury a également des sorts dans le ring où il perd sa concentration et il s'est retrouvé sur la toile plus d'une fois lors d'un manque de concentration.
* Vie personnelle - Ce sont des démons personnels bien documentés de Fury souffrant de dépression et de toxicomanie, avec un gain de poids à plus 400 Kg. Alors que ses triomphes sur ces démons sont admirables, les effets physiques durables ne peuvent être niés.
* Peau - Cela ne fait que cinq mois que Fury a subi une terrible entaille à l'œil droit contre Otto Wallin, exigeant 47 des points de suture. Alors que les médecins ont jugé la coupure suffisamment guérie, sa peau tendre pourrait se rouvrir au moment le plus inopportun.
Combat précédent
Wilder: (11/23/19) - Wilder a de nouveau marqué un KO contre Luis Oritz. Après avoir été expédié pour la majorité des six premiers tours, Wilder a établi sa gamme contre un Ortiz fatigant et a décroché une main droite pulvérisatrice qui a abouti à un KO d'un coup de poing.
Fureur:
(9/14/19) - Fury a survécu à un combat sanglant avec Otto Wallin, invaincu mais inconnu. Fury a subi une coupure à l'œil droit dans le 3e rond et le sang affectait clairement sa vision. Malgré la déficience, Fury contrôlait toujours l'action et blessait Wallin plusieurs fois en route vers une victoire décisive.
3 Meilleures performances
Wilder:
* Arthur Pin (1/16/16) - Après avoir pris du retard tôt, Wilder a repris dans le 4e rond et a commencé à s'installer et à contrôler l'action. Une seule main droite dans le 9e round a envoyé Szpilka vers le bas et inconscient, la 2016 Knockout de l'année.
* Gold Cup (1/17/15) - Wilder a répondu aux questions sur son endurance en allant à fond 12 tours pour la première fois de sa carrière et remportant le titre WBC dans le processus. Wilder a utilisé son long jab et a tenu Stiverne à distance avec ses compétences sous-estimées.
* Luis Ortiz (3/3/18) - Wilder a survécu à des moments effrayants contre le vétéran cubain souvent évité avant de l'emporter par 10e KO rond. Wilder a été troublé par les compétences de boxe d'Ortiz tôt avant de le renverser dans le 5e rond. Un rallye Ortiz dans le 7e Wilder était gravement blessé mais Wilder a pu se regrouper et marquer le KO quelques tours plus tard.
Fureur:
* Wladimir Klitschko (11/25/15) - Fury est entré dans la cour arrière de Klitschko et a remporté les championnats unifiés et linéaires des poids lourds par décision unanime. Alors que le combat était une affaire prudente, Fury a pu surpasser Klitschko avec un jeu de jambes supérieur, mouvement, et une sortie de punch plus élevée.
* Derek Chisora (11/29/14) - Fury a dominé le match revanche avec son rival britannique, boxe à distance, basculement entre orthodoxe et gaucher, et punir son adversaire jusqu'à ce que le coin arrête le combat après 10 ronds unilatéraux.
* Deontay Wilder (12/1/18) - À l'exception de deux renversements et de quelques jugements curieux, Fury contrôlait la majeure partie du combat. Il a évité les coups de poing de Wilder et a décroché des compteurs efficaces, faisant de Wilder un aspect confus et déséquilibré dans le processus.
Clés de la victoire

PENECALE PRÉVISION
Les deux combattants sont des showmen exceptionnels et leurs entrées de ring respectives feront vibrer la foule. L'électricité sera à son comble à la cloche d'ouverture. Avec leur familiarité, il y aura moins de sentiment de sortie que leur première rencontre. Fury sera sur ses gardes pour aller de l'avant et Wilder essaiera de chronométrer ses avances et de décrocher des coups de poing. À la fin de 1st tour, Fury se moquera de Wilder et il y aura un échange de mots.
Le mouvement constant de Fury et les coups simples troubleront Wilder car ses contre-coups trouveront principalement de l'air vide. Les tours suivants seront un jeu passionnant de chat et de souris avec le plus petit Wilder dans le rôle du chat, futilité d'essayer de coincer le plus grand Wilder.
Wilder trouvera le succès avec son jab dans le 6e et 7e des balles et une main droite en boucle attraperont Fury sur le dessus de la tête, le déséquilibrant sur la toile. La fureur montera, clin d'oeil à son coin, et reviens en action. L'excitation fera que Wilder se balancera sauvagement et tombera lui-même sur la toile après avoir manqué la main droite surexagérée.
Avec Wilder apparemment fatigué par son coup de poing du tour précédent, Fury tournera gaucher et atterrira plusieurs mains droites, puis rebondir hors de portée de tout contre-poinçon.
Le mouvement de Fury et sa vitesse de travail plus élevée porteront l'action tout au long des manches de championnat, le menant à nouveau à une avance apparente avant le tour final.
La décision cette fois sera unanime avec Dave Moretti et Glenn Feldman marquant tous les deux 115-112 et Steve Weisfeld un peu plus près à 114-113, tous en faveur de «The Gypsy King» Tyson Fury.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Février 20, 2020) – From the mean streets of East Los Angeles to a berth on Team USA is a remarkable achievement for 19-year-old flyweightAnthony Herrera, who recently was selected to be a member of the 2020 Olympic Games Tokyo Boxing Qualification Team.
“Since I was very young,” Herrera spoke about growing up in East LA, “my parents always kept me in sports. Being so occupied with sports was actually a distraction from what was going on around the city. So, I never had time to get into trouble and my parents kept me away from a bad lifestyle. Once I started boxing, I took it seriously, staying focused and setting goals. I was a little older at that time and whether or not I wanted to partake in boxing or wanted to make a career out of it was all up to me, and I always had my parents full support. Boxing has been a big part of my life. I’m always looking forward to the next workout or anything boxing related. It’s part of my image at this point.”
Pour l'instant, bien que, Herrera is preparing with his teammates at the United States Olympics and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for the America’s Qualification Tournament, 26 mars-avril 3, à Buenos Aires, Argentine.
Herrera will qualify to represent his country at the Olympics by finishing among the top five in Buenos Aires, or first six placers at the World Qualifier, Mai 13-14, à Paris, France.
“I thrive under pressure,” Herrera said. “I don’t let pressure get to me mentally so much that it negatively impacts my performance. It makes me perform better when I’m in the ring. I’ve been under pressure my whole boxing career. Not only has it made me a better fighter in certain situations that are intimidating, but also a stronger person overall. Going to Argentina is no different, the nerves are still there, but so is my determination to get to Tokyo.”
Un 2018 National PAL and 2019 Western Elite Qualifier champion, Herrera recently finished second at the 2020 U.S.. Olympic Team Trials and third at the 2020 Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.
“The amateur boxing accomplishment I’m most proud of is making the United States Qualification Team as a flyweight," il a noté. “It was tough to make it here and knowing that I overcame the obstacles I faced on this long journey to where I’m at now makes me very happy. I can truly say I earned it.
“My first International boxing match (Strandja) was a little different from what I’m used to. The equipment we used and fighting without headgear created more risk when fighting, but I had fun in my first international fight. I already have the feel for that environment and am more comfortable now.
“I really enjoy training in Colorado Springs with my teammates, because it’s a great experience that only the best athletes get. I love training at home as well, but there are less distractions in Colorado Springs. I get to focus 100-percent on my craft and get to travel more.”
Herrera, who describes his style as a “swarmer”, applying pressure and breaking down his opponent, vit le rêve.
“Fighting in the Olympics was always big for me, but getting a gold medal is my dream,” he added. “I’ve always wanted it because no one can ever take that away from me, and the story and work that is put behind a gold medal is priceless. In my opinion it is harder than winning a world title in professional boxing. Being this close to the Olympics, I’m proud of myself but not satisfied. I know that I still have work to do and I’m taking one step at a time. The next step for me is to qualify for the Olympics at the Olympic Qualifier.”
Herrera attributes some of his success to learning from former and contemporary boxers, implementing any techniques that they use into his style, y compris, par exemple, the footwork and head movement ofJulio Cesar ChavezSr., etMike Tyson’s set-ups from the body to head.
Tokyo is a long way from East LA for Anthony Herrera.

“This is the biggest fight of Kendo’s career to date,” CEO & Co-FounderKeith Veltresaid. “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, qui est classé n. 15 par l'Organisation mondiale de boxe (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 (Aussi) 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).

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 ans, 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.”
Prédiction:“The referee will be announcing, ‘And the new NABO champion…..’”

17 février, NYC — China’s Meng Fanlong (16-0, 10 KOs) will fight IBF & WBC light heavyweight champion, Artur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs), March 28th at the Videotron Center in Quebec City, Canada. Beterbiev vs.. Meng is presented by Top Rank in association with Groupe Yvon Michel and Gestev, and will be broadcast live on ESPN along with a co-feature bout at 10 PM ET.
Fanlong, who is from Chifeng, Inner Mongolia China, has more than just his world title shot on his mind. His home country has been essentially shut down due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak.
“The majority of my country has been shut down for weeks.” Says Meng. “My fellow citizens need something to help them escape from this very difficult time. I hope to bring some positivity, happiness, and joy to them with this fight. I want to put pride in their hearts.”
On the 28th of March, Meng will be stepping into the ring with one of boxing’s most dangerous punchers. Champion Artur Beterbiev has won all of his professional fights by knockout – including his thrilling title unification bout against Oleksandr Gvozdyck in October. Meng was in attendance that night in Philadelphia and observed with great interest.
But facing one of boxing’s most dangerous fighters in the ring pales in comparison to the concerns and troubles that are affecting hundreds of millions of Chinese across the globe.
“Fanlong is the best Chinese fighter in the world – everyone will learn that on March 28th.” Says Meng advisor Tommy Lane. “This is a historic fight because he is the first Chinese boxer to fight for the light heavyweight championship. And with what is going on with coronavirus, this is a fight that can bring joy and positive energy to the people at this challenging time.”
It is unknown when the coronavirus will be under control or when the citizens of the The People’s Republic of China can get back to normal life.
“My country needs me. We will get through this.”

Plant dominated mandatory challengerVincent Feigenbutz (31-3, 28 KOs) de l'Allemagne, Marquer un 10e-round TKO Saturday night in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
Usine, who grew up in neighboring Ashland City, successfully made the second defense of the world title he won in January 2019 with a thrilling 12-round unanimous decision over then-titlist Jose Uzcategui. “Sweethands” lived up to his moniker, breaking down Germany’s Feigenbutz before putting him away.
“I was super fueled by the crowd tonight,” Plant said. “I could have gone all night. The whole city came out. Nashville stand up!”
Plant gave them plenty to cheer about from the opening bell, landing his jab up and downstairs. The aggressive Feigenbutz, 24, struggled to land anything in return.
Plant began landing the combinations in the third, bringing the crowd to his feet with a series of well-placed volleys.
Those shots slowly took their toll, but Feigenbutz was game. He came alive in the sixth, pinning Plant against the ropes and unloading his own combinations. Plant covered up and shook his head as if unbothered.
Plant pounded Feigenbutz in the seventh and eighth, opening up a cut on his nose and swelling his right eye. The challenger absorbed more punishment in the ninth, causing the ringside doctor to take a hard look at him in between rounds.
The end came swiftly in the 10eas Plant, sensing his foe was weakening, pounded away until referee Malik Waleed mercifully stepped in. L'heure officielle de l'arrêt était 2:23 of the 10th.
“I felt great out there,” ladite plante. “I was relaxed and sharp. I told you I was going to stop this before the 12th round. I want to dedicate this to my daughter, to my mother, my grandfather and the whole city of Nashville.”
The champion also stated his desire to unify versus unbeaten WBC counterpart and rival, David Benavidez.
“Everyone knows I want that unification fight with David Benavidez,” Plant stated. “You know who the best 168-pounder is. If you want that, you’ve got to come see me. I want that fight; I’ve been asking for it and I’m tired of waiting!”
En cas de co-principal, Abel Ramosscored a stunning last second TKO victory overBryant Perrellain a scheduled 10-round welterweight match. Heading into the 10eand final round Ramos was told by his cornermen that he needed a knockout to win. Ramos (26-3-2, 20 KOs) delivered, badly hurting and dropping Perrella twice in the waning seconds of the frame, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave the welterweight co-main event off with just one second remaining.
“I know the fight’s not over until it’s over,” said Ramos. “That’s the game. I’ve been sick for two weeks. But no excuses. I wanted to come here and perform.
“I watched the Chavez-Taylor fight like 10 million times and I never thought I’d be in something like that. It just goes to prove that fights are never over till it’s over. You have to fight every single second of every single round.”
Watch Ramos stun Perrella at the end of Round 10 ICI.
Perrella (17-3, 14 KOs) was up on all three cards at the time of the stoppage; 87-84 and two scores of 88-83.
“Ceci est la boxe. It’s like Meldrick Taylor and Chavez,” Saïd Perrella, agreeing with Ramos’ comments. “These things just happen. I’m not going to take anything away from my opponent. I was winning every round convincingly. Qu'est-ce que je peux dire? There was second left in the 10th round. It’s like a needle in the haystack. C'est ce que c'est.”
Southpaw Perrella controlled much of the action, using side to side movement, angles and rapid-fire combinations to stifle Ramos’ offense. A left hook in the third briefly buckled Ramos. Another in the fifth stunned him.
“Perrella’s a tough fighter,” said Ramos. “He’s a strong, strong fighter. Je dois rien, mais de respect pour lui. I expected a tough fight and that’s what happened.”
Ramos never stopped coming forward, picking up the pace as Perrella slowed down. Avec 34 seconds remaining in the 10e, Ramos landed a perfect left uppercut flush on the chin. Perrella sank to the mat, getting up on unsteady legs. Ramos pounced once action resumed, unloading until a straight right drove Perrella to the floor again. De nouveau, he made it to his feet but couldn’t walk straight without stumbling. Reiss immediately waved it off at 2:59.
“Everything was going well, and I was winning the fight, round by round,” Saïd Perrella. “Je ne sais pas. Ceci est la boxe. That’s the thing about the sport. C'est ce que c'est. There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m not going to make up any excuses or take anything away from my opponent. It’s just an experience that you go through in life and you have to overcome it. Absolutely I’d like to do it again with him. We can get a rematch in for sure.”
“I want all the welterweights,” Ramos exclaimed. “I’d like to have another big TV fight and go out there and prove myself.”
The FOX PBC Fight Night opener featured a back-and-forth battle between lightweightsAustin Dulay et Diego Magdaleno. Magdaleno produced one of the finest performances of his career, dropping Dulay on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision victory in a minor upset.
The 33-year-old Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KOs) was simply busier, particularly down the stretch in this battle of southpaws.
“I knew mentally I could break him down,” said Magdaleno. “If I attacked the body, I knew I could break him down. He’s a young prospect. He’s taller than me so my plan of attack was to get in close and go to the body.”
Dulay disagreed with the decision. “I boxed the hell out of him every round, making him miss, catching shots, countering. Ouais, he hit me with a few good body shots. That doesn’t replace the heavy shots that I hit him with every single round for 10 rounds straight. That is madness. And it was a unanimous decision? That’s crazy. That’s unbelievable to me.
“Even Diego just told me that he had nothing to do with the decision. He knows. How can they do that to me in my hometown? That’s dirty man.”
Fighting in front of his fellow Nashville residents, Dulay (13-2, 10 KOs) started fast, landing several clean lefts in the second. Magdaleno never stopped coming forward, working behind the jab and landing to Dulay’s body.

Some of those shots strayed low which elicited warnings from referee Jack Reiss. Cependant, the work paid off as Dulay’s output dropped over the course of the bout. The sixth featured some of the best exchanges of the bout. Magdaleno got the better of those, landing a right to the ribs followed by one upstairs.
Magdaleno continued to press the attack in the seventh, scoring the fight’s only knockdown with a hard left hook to the solar plexus.
Watch Magdaleno score a knockdown vs Dulay in Round 7 ICI.
Once action resumed, Magdaleno pounded at his ribs until a left hook strayed low and dropped Magdaleno, causing Reiss to deduct a point.
“Every round he was hitting me low and, in the back, and on the hips,” said Dulay. “It was more times than he got called for. I won that fight 100%.”
Sensing the fight slipping away, Dulay picked up the pace over the last three rounds. It wasn’t enough to overcome Magdaleno’s work rate, which earned him a win by scores of 97-91, 96-92 et 96-92.
“Experience has everything going for me. In my previous fight, I lost my head,” said Magdaleno. “This time I took my time. My camp said slow it down. Happy for the victory tonight.”
On the non-televised undercard, former world bantamweight championRau’Shee “Nuke” Garenne (17-3, 4 KOs) ended a 13-month layoff with a wide 10-round unanimous decision overGilberto Mendoza (15-8-3, 7 KOs).
The 33-year-old Warren used his fast hands to land an assortment of shots from his lefty stance. In the fourth, a clash of heads opened a cut over the left eye of Mexico’s Mendoza. Warren sought to close the show, but Mendoza was game, firing back though outgunned.
Two judges scored it 99-91 and the third judge had it 100-90.
“It felt good to get back in there after being off for a year,” Warren said. “I didn’t feel like a rookie. I felt like I had to get a little rust off me. But I think I got most of the rust off when I was in the gym training. Going 10 rounds it felt good.”
“I hope to get back in May,” said Warren. “I only need 90 journées. I’ve already had my long layoff since last January when I fought on Pacquiao and Adrien’s card. I’m ready to get it on. I’m ready to move on. The only thing he did that I didn’t expect him to do was stay up.”
The event was promoted by Sweethands Promotions, TGB Promotions and Sauerland Promotions.

“We were going for the knockout but it didn’t come up so we’ll take the decision,», A déclaré Cruz. “I thought I won all 10 tours. 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 10eand 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. Je dois pas d'excuses. Il était le meilleur homme ce soir. "
Dans le combat co-vedette, 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).

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.”

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,"Il a dit. “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.”

“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.”

Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight Champion Wilder & Undefeated Lineal Heavyweight Champion Fury Square Off in Highly Anticipated Rematch Taking Place Saturday, Février 22 dans l'événement historique Mega PPV du MGM Grand Garden Arena de Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (Février 13, 2020) – The upcoming rematch between WBC Heavyweight ChampionDeontay “Le Bomber Bronze” Wilderand lineal championTyson “Le roi tsigane” Fureuris the biggest heavyweight title fight in history.
Literally.
Standing 6’7″ et 6'9″ respectivement, Wilder and Fury create the greatest combined height ever seen in a bout for the WBC, Ring Magazine and lineal heavyweight titles, standing a collective 13 feet and 4 inches. The only heavyweight title bout “taller,” pour ainsi dire, took place in 2007, when the 7-foot Nikolay Valuev defended his WBA heavyweight title against the 6’6″ Jameel McCline. But never before have the sport’s very best big men been as large as they are today.
To put in perspective how large Wilder and Fury are, it’s best to compare them to the land of giants: The NBA. Consider the fact that at 6’7″ and in the neighborhood of 220 livres, Wilder is the same size as Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard. Fureur, pendant ce temps, is nearly identical to LeBron James in terms of height and weight.
These days, a look at the Top 10 of any rankings you choose shows that most contenders are built like Super Bowl champion tight end Travis Kelce, who stands 6’6″ and weighs around 250 livres.
As anyone who watched the thrilling first contest between Wilder and Fury will know, the two are indeed athletes, far from the lumbering behemoths you might expect men of their measurements to be. Wilder might be known for his titanic one-punch power, but he’s displayed some truly dynamic movement in the ring as well. Go watch the tape of his knockout of Bermane Stiverne and watch him bound laterally to create angles before landing his devastating shots, juking like a wide receiver in the open field, and you can see why Wilder dreamt of playing college football at Alabama when he was in high school.
Fury never dreamt of doing anything other than boxing-how could you when you were named after a heavyweight legend and born into a family rich with fighting history in Ireland. But the “Gypsy King” was also born with remarkable nimbleness to go along with a lifetime of developed boxing acumen, gliding around the ring and boxing with a style that would befit a welterweight, not a power forward-sized heavyweight.
Wilder and Fury are distinctive because ironically, giants aren’t usually dominant in sporting fields. While some have been all-time greats-i.e. the 6’9″ Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara, who is a lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame-often times big men are known mostly just for being big, and don’t reach the pinnacle of their sport. And understandably so. Being colossally large is often a hindrance in as many ways as it’s an advantage, particularly when it comes to movement and dexterity. The NFL’s tallest player, seven-footer Richard Singh, played just eight career games, the MLB’s all-time tallest player, the 6’11” Jon Rauch, was a journeyman reliever, and tennis’ 6'dix” and 6’11” skyscrapers Ivo Karlovic, John Isner and Rilley Opelka have no majors to their names.
As human beings have become bigger and stronger over the years, naturellement, so have boxers. Rocky Marciano, standing 5’10 ½” and weighing just above 180 livres, would be a tiny cruiserweight by today’s standards. Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali, considered by many to be the two greatest heavyweights of all-time, and certainly not tiny fighters in their time, stood 6’1 ½” and 6’3″ respectivement. Theoretically, Louis would give up nine inches in reach to Fury, whose wingspan is 85″. There were outliers in earlier eras, of course-Jess Willard and Ernie Terrell were 6’6″ and above and captured heavyweight titles-but for decades it was possible to be the size of a modern cruiserweight and not just compete, but be an imposing figure in the division.
Things began to change in the late 80s and 90s, when Tony Tucker, Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis, a trio of 6’6″ heavies captured belts. But the modern era was ushered in by Vitali and Wladimir Klitscko, the 6’6″ brothers who essentially ruled the division for the better part of a decade before Fury unseated Wladimir for the lineal crown in 2015.
Boxing has had its share of giants through the years, many of which have fallen short of the elite levels. In recent times, fans will remember the much-hyped American prospect Tye Fields, a towering 6’8″ southpaw who despite a massive amount of hype, never fought for a world title. Julius “Le Towering Inferno” Long started his career 5-0, and at 7’1″ with a 90″ reach looked like a force to be reckoned with, before settling in as one of the sport’s most notorious journeymen and reliable sparring partners.
Wilder and Fury are a remarkable blend of size and athleticism and are bucking the trend that you can be “too big” to be great. As the rematch nears, it’s exciting-or perhaps scary-to think about the next evolution of heavyweights that will come after these two. There was a time when the great George Foreman, at 6’3″ and with a 78″ atteindre, or Larry Holmes at 6’3″ with an 81″ atteindre, were considered among the most daunting physical presences to ever step in the ring. But Wilder and Fury have set a new physical standard. Will NBA-sized heavyweights become the norm in the coming years?
At least for the moment, Wilder and Fury are far from normal. They’re colossal presences, ben oui, but they’re also the two very best heavyweights in the world at the peak of their powers, looking to follow up one of the most memorable fights, and hotly debated draws in recent history.
Who will stand tall on February 22?
