Wilder vs. Fury the rematch In-Depth Preview and Analysis
De: Tony Penecale

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.
Fury:
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 4lea rotund, 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 9lea round but his follow-up attack left him fatigued, allowed Fury to regain the momentum through the 11lea round. The memorable 12lea 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 Fury, and Phil Edwards scored 113-113.
PUNCTE FORTE
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, viteză, putere, and athletic ability where is easy to imagine him being dominant in any type of athletic environment.
Fury:
* 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.
PUNCTE SLABE
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.
Fury:
* 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.
BOUT PRECEDENT
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.
Fury:
(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 Cele mai bune performanțe
Wilder:
* Arthur Pin (1/16/16) – After falling behind early, Wilder took over in the 4lea round and started to settle down and control the action. A single right hand in the 9lea round sent Szpilka down and unconscious, the 2016 Knockout anului.
* Cupa de aur (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 10lea round knockout. Wilder was troubled by Ortiz’s boxing skills early before knocking him down in the 5lea round. An Ortiz rally in the 7lea had Wilder seriously hurt but Wilder was able to regroup and score the knockout a few rounds later.
Fury:
* 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, mișcare, 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.
CHEI LA VICTORIE
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
Fury:
* Change the pace and keep Wilder guessing
* Use lateral movement to keep Wilder from setting his feet
* Do not get cocky against the ropes
ÎNTREBĂRI
Wilder:
* Can Wilder handle Fury’s unorthodox movement?
* Will Wilder employ a better gameplan?
* Will Wilder become frustrated?
Fury:
* Will Fury try too hard for the knockout?
* Is Fury totally focused on boxing?
* Is his cut eye susceptible to reinjury?
PENECALE PREDICTIE
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 rotund, 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 6lea și 7lea 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.

ARTISTA BRANDUN LEE, CONCURS DE 140 DE LIVE: NOI GENERAȚIE VINERI, MARTIE 13 TRĂIEȘTE DE LA HINCKLEY, MINN.
De la East LA, până la echipa SUA, boxerul în greutate, Anthony Herrera trăiește visul
Colorado Springs, Poală. (Februarie 20, 2020) - De pe străzile medii din estul Los Angelesului până la dana pe Team USA este o realizare remarcabilă pentru greutatea zbura de 19 aniAnthony Herrera, care a fost recent selectat pentru a fi membru al 2020 Jocurile Olimpice Tokyo Echipa de calificare la box.
„De când eram foarte tânăr,”Herrera a vorbit despre creșterea în East LA, „Părinții mei m-au ținut mereu în sport. A fi atât de ocupat cu sportul era de fapt o distragere a atenției față de ceea ce se întâmpla în jurul orașului. Asa de, Nu am avut niciodată timp să intru în necazuri și părinții mei m-au ținut departe de un stil de viață prost. Odată am început boxul, L-am luat în serios, rămânând concentrat și stabilind obiective. Eram puțin mai în vârstă în acel moment și dacă voiam sau nu să particip la box sau voiam să fac o carieră din asta depindea de mine, și am avut întotdeauna sprijinul deplin al părinților mei. Boxul a fost o mare parte din viața mea. Aștept întotdeauna cu nerăbdare următorul antrenament sau orice altceva legat de box. Face parte din imaginea mea în acest moment. ”
Pentru acum, deși, Herrera se pregătește alături de coechipierii săi la Centrul de Antrenament Olimpic și Paralimpic din Statele Unite din Colorado Springs pentru Turneul de Calificare al Americii, 26 martie-aprilie 3, în Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Herrera se va califica pentru a-și reprezenta țara la Jocurile Olimpice, terminând printre primii cinci la Buenos Aires, sau primii șase plasatori la World Qualifier, Mai 13-14, în Paris, Franţa.
„Mă dezvolt sub presiune,A spus Herrera. „Nu las presiunea să ajungă la mine atât de mult, încât să aibă un impact negativ asupra performanței mele. Mă face să performez mai bine când sunt pe ring. Am fost sub presiune întreaga mea carieră de box. Nu numai că m-a făcut un luptător mai bun în anumite situații care sunt intimidante, dar și o persoană mai puternică în general. Mersul în Argentina nu este diferit, nervii sunt încă acolo, dar la fel este și hotărârea mea de a ajunge la Tokyo. ”
A 2018 PAL național și 2019 Campion de calificare Western Elite, Herrera a terminat recent pe locul al doilea la 2020 S.U.A.. Probele olimpice pe echipe și al treilea la 2020 Turneul Strandja din Bulgaria.
„Realizarea de box amator de care mă mândresc cel mai mult face echipa de calificare a Statelor Unite ca o greutate de zbor,”A remarcat el. „A fost greu să ajung aici și știind că am depășit obstacolele cu care m-am confruntat în această lungă călătorie către locul în care mă aflu acum mă face foarte fericit. Pot spune cu adevărat că am câștigat-o.
„Primul meu meci internațional de box (Strandja) a fost puțin diferit de ceea ce am obișnuit. Echipamentul pe care l-am folosit și care ne-am luptat fără căști au creat mai multe riscuri atunci când luptăm, dar m-am distrat în prima mea luptă internațională. Am deja senzația pentru acel mediu și sunt mai confortabil acum.
„Îmi place foarte mult să mă antrenez în Colorado Springs împreună cu colegii mei, pentru că este o experiență extraordinară pe care o primesc doar cei mai buni sportivi. Îmi place să mă antrenez și acasă, dar există mai puține distrageri în Colorado Springs. Trebuie să mă concentrez 100% pe ambarcațiunile mele și să călătoresc mai mult ”.
Herrera, care descrie stilul său ca „roitor”, aplicând presiune și dărâmându-și adversarul, trăiește visul.
„Lupta la Jocurile Olimpice a fost întotdeauna mare pentru mine, dar obținerea unei medalii de aur este visul meu," el a adăugat. „Mi-am dorit întotdeauna pentru că nimeni nu-mi poate lua asta vreodată, iar povestea și munca care se află în spatele unei medalii de aur sunt de neprețuit. În opinia mea, este mai greu decât câștigarea unui titlu mondial la boxul profesional. Fiind atât de aproape de olimpiade, Sunt mândru de mine însă nu sunt mulțumit. Știu că mai am de lucru și fac un pas la rând. Următorul pas pentru mine este să mă calific la Jocurile Olimpice la calificarea olimpică. ”
Herrera atribuie o parte din succesul său învățării de la foști și boxeri contemporani, implementând orice tehnici pe care le folosesc în stilul său, inclusiv, de exemplu, mișcarea picioarelor și mișcarea capuluiJulio Cesar Chavez Sr., șiMike TysonAranjamentele de la corp la cap.
Tokyo este la o distanță lungă de East LA pentru Anthony Herrera.

Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda Training Camp Notes
Februarie. 28lea in Florida showdown vs. neînvins
NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo
LAS VEGAS (Februarie 20, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo “Tremendo” Castaneda (17-0, 8 KO) 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 28lea fight against North American Boxing Organization (NEIGHBOR) campionYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 KO) airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, începând de la 11:30 p.m. ȘI / 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) Promoții la box.
“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, care este clasat pe locul nr. 15 de Organizația Mondială a box (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 (De asemenea) 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 stoppedStan Martyniouk (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 ani, 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.”
Prezicere: “The referee will be announcing, ‘And the new NABO champion…..’”

PHILADELPHIA – February 15, 2020 - Undefeated 21-year-old lightweight prospect Isaac Cruz stunnedShoBox: Noua generatieveteran Thomas Mattice in a closely contested majority decision win in theShoBoxmain event Friday night from 2300 Arena din Philadelphia, Pa. Watch the fight highlightsAICI.
Cross, de Mexico City, rode his superior work rate, a lethal body attack, and his ability to neutralize Mattice’s jab to the victory. Arbitrii au marcat lupta 95-95 și 96-94 de două ori.
Cruz threw an average of 69.4 punches per round, comparativ cu 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,", A declarat Cruz. “I thought I won all 10 runde. 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 10lea 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. Nu am nici o scuză. El a fost mai bine omul în seara asta. "
În meciul de co-featured, Ra’eese Aleem (16-0, 10 KO) 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 KO).
Aleem, from Muskegon, Mich., proved to be overwhelming for Lopez, who was making his record eighth appearance onShoBox.Din clopot de deschidere, 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 de rotund patru. Watch the TKOAICI.
“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 KO) îmbunătățit recordul la 2-0-1 peShoBox, putting in a professional display en route to a unanimous decision over Jerrico Walton (16-1, 7 KO), who fights out of Houston by way of New Orleans. Arbitrii au marcat lupta 78-74 și 77-75 de două ori. Watch fight highlightsAICI
“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, în special la sfârșitul anilor runde. Love was more accurate on his power punches (43 la sută să 21 la sută) 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 lire sterline. "
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,", A spus el. “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 KO) handed Derrick Colemon, Jr. (11-1, 8 KO) his first career loss. Jackson overcame a slow start to earn the unanimous decision. Scorurile au fost 77-75, 80-72, 78-74. Watch the decisionAICI.
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 pe pumni de putere. 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, Februarie 17 la 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.
The four-fight telecast was the third of fourShoBox presentations over six weeks showcasing some of boxing’s brightest young prospects in their toughest tests to date.
