Hoe sal Mayweather vs. McGregor vorm die toekoms van kruisgevegte?

Deur: Rich Bergeron

Fight News Unlimited is deeglik bewus van die term “MMA vs. Boksdebat.” Ons het 'n hele radioprogramreeks oor die onderwerp gehad, kulmineer met 'n volwaardige argument tussen Iceman John Scully ('n Voormalige Pro-bokser en huidige boksafrigter) en Ken Shamrock ('n Pro-stoeier, UFC Fighter en MMA-afrigter). Die kantelpunt was toe vroue in boks en MMA. Shamrock het hul pogings ondersteun terwyl Scully die argument aanvaar het dat hy nie wou sien dat 'n vrou met die vuis in die gesig geslaan word nie.

Vanaand is ons op die punt om die grootste corsover-geveg in die geskiedenis van gevegsport te beleef. 'n Jong, honger, hondsdol MMA-gevegte uit die gemene strate van Ierland staar 'n braaf Amerikaner in die gesig wat uit sy aftrede kom na 'n professionele boksloopbaan vir die eeue. Die ervaring bevoordeel die kundige in sy vak, die mees talentvolle verdedigende vegter in die moderne era van boks. Floyd behoort na die oorwinning te beweeg, en die uitklop wat hy voorspel is iets wat baie aanhangers en spekulante in die 6de tot 7de rondte plaas.

McGregor kan wen in enige scenario waar hy die finale klok sien, of die besluit hom bevoordeel of nie. Al wat hy hoef te doen is om te vermaak, stoot Floyd na punte wat hy nog nooit tevore gedruk is nie, en kom onder Floyd se vel in. Al is dit in 'n verloorpoging, Conor moet 'n karakter wees wat nog 'n geveg kan verkoop. Floyd het herhaaldelik in pers-toergeleenthede gesê hy sal volgende met Conor in die Octagon veg. Dit is duidelik Mayweather wat net probeer dink oor die groot prentjie, maar 'n eensydige klop van McGregor sal aanhangers nie te veel oor 'n Octagon-gesig laat praat nie. Sommige spekulante hou vol dat Floyd doelbewus die gas sal afblaas en McGregor syne sal laat kry 12 rondtes van aksie. Hoe meer Floyd Conor soos 'n nar laat lyk, al, hierdie benadering kan op die lang termyn geen vegter goed doen nie.

Conor kan beslis sy eie uitklophou van Floyd Mayweather in die eerste vier rondes haal, soos hy voorspel het. Dit is binne die moontlikheid. Tog sal die groot uitklophou hoe dit ook al gaan, wees hoe Conor sy besigheid na hierdie geveg hanteer.

 

McGregor Sports and Entertainment het 'n handelsmerk geword wat selfs Dana White die ander aand by die laaste perskonferensie met 'n handelsmerkhemp verteenwoordig het. Ek het aanvanklik teleurgesteld gevoel dat White geen ander UFC-vegters op die onderkaart van hierdie megaboksgeleentheid geplaas het nie. Hoe meer ek oor die benadering gedink het, al, hoe meer ek my verbeel het dat White meer daarvan op die pad wil doen, maar net as McGregor die wêreld kan skok of ten minste die appelkar van boks op een of ander klein manier kan ontstel.

 

Veelvuldige boksers skree vir 'n kans om 'n MMA-vegter in kruisgevegte by elke groot afdeling te trotseer noudat May/Mac die tafel gedek het. David Haye en Anthony Joshua is net twee swaargewigte wat belangstelling in boks MMA-vegters uitspreek. Joshua sou selfs die hok ingaan as geen voorleggings toegelaat word nie. Tony Bellew wil 'n geveg met Michael Bisping hê. Roy Jones jr. wil Anderson Silva beveg en hengel nou al jare na daardie geleentheid.

 

Die regte oorkruising wat Conor kan benut, is een wat ek vrees hy sal nie benut nie, al. Daar is geweldige potensiaal om die soort geld te kry wat professionele boksers maak om die oorskakeling na MMA-vegterkontrakte te maak. Daar is baie bespiegelinge oor hoe White kan wegkom daarmee dat die UFC 'n bokswedstryd mede-promoteer wanneer die UFC se bestuurstaktieke nie voldoen aan die standaarde wat in die Ali-wet uiteengesit word nie., wat sekere noodsaaklike beskerming vereis, moet aan professionele boksers verleen word.

 

Eerder as om terug te keer na die sport van MMA na hierdie geveg en al die kontant en pryse vir homself op te eis, Conor behoort die stygende gety te wees wat alle bote ophef. 'n Ware held van sy sport sal sorg dat hy nie die enigste een is wat geld maak nie, want hy het gehelp om MMA op die regte wêreldverhoog te plaas met sy vertoning vanaand. Hy kan 'n ongelooflike spreekbuis wees om die manier waarop alle vegters sake doen, te verander. Die UFC en Dana White is berug gulsig wanneer dit kom by die beheer van belange in hul vuisvoos werknemers. Dit is wat die voortslepende antitrust-geding teen die maatskappy so ingewikkeld maak.

 

Soos sekere vegters wat nie van die UFC se kontrak hou nie, bied springskip vir Bellator, White en die UFC het gereageer met die Instant Ultimate Fighter-konsep: Die Contender-reeks. Elke week kry 'n nuwe vegter 'n kontrak. Die weermag groei altyd, is hul ooglopende benadering hier. McGregor kan die aanklag lei van groter as lewensvegters wat nee sê vir die UFC en terugveg teen die maatskappy se drang om vegters so min te gee in ruil vir sulke groot pogings.

 

Vanaand se geveg kan dalk bepaal of White en die UFC ooit nog 'n kruisgeveg bevorder of nie. Elke keer as hulle dit doen, al, dit sal waarskynlik net een MMA-vegter vs. 'n bokser en nie 'n gestapelde kaart nie. Op hierdie manier kan hulle elke gebeurtenis 'n groot gebeurtenis maak, selfs al blyk dit 'n grap te wees soos baie voorspel vanaand sal blyk te wees.

 

Dit gaan alles oor hoe McGregor die nadraai in my oë hanteer. Sal hy optree en uitspreek vir die ander vegters wat hul UFC-kontrakte in die wiele kry? Sal hy daardie boksgeld op die tafel kan kry vir homself en sy mede-vegters in die UFC en regoor die MMA-landskap? Sy opsies sal sekerlik selfs in 'n mededingende verlies toeneem, wat maak afgaan deur KO, DQ of skewe klop die enigste maniere waarop hy nie soos rose uitkom nie. Maak nie saak wat gebeur, hy moet die aandag konstruktief gebruik om beide sportsoorte te verbeter.

 

Die debat kan opgelos word, maar ek glo die toekoms hou 'n kans vir 'n nuwe toernooi-formaat. Eers is daar 'n boksgeveg, dan 'n MMA-geveg. Ses weke uitmekaar, albei vegters het ses maande om voor die eerste geveg te oefen. Dit is die volgende logiese stap, en daar sal 'n bokser wees wat die uitdaging aanvaar.

 

Mayweather kan die puriste beïndruk met óf 'n sloping oor 12 rondtes of 'n KO binne die afstand. McGregor hoef net dapper te oorleef om meer koppe te laat draai en meer gewildheid te kry. As hy wen, kies hy sy eie lot en laat 'n ton kenners en kritici hul woorde eet. Die vraag is wat volgende gebeur? Sal die debat opgelos word wat ook al aan die einde van die nag gebeur?

 

VET KANS….

 

McGregor kan 'n groot hand hê in wat ook al volgende vir die oorkruismark uitskud. Sal dit aantreklik en winsgewend wees in die maande en jare wat kom, of sal hierdie geveg afgaan as 'n gier wat die meeste aanhangers bitter teleurgesteld gelaat het? As dit McGregor meer bekend maak as wat hy reeds is, dit is 'n wen, so ek sal graag wil sien hoe hy daardie wen iets beteken. As hy 'n manier kan vind om al die vegters op die UFC-lys te help om meer van die geld op die tafel te kry, Ek is in sy hoek.

ADRIEN BRONER DEFEATS ADRIAN GRANADOS VIA SPLIT DECISION SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME® FROM CINTAS CENTER AT XAVIER UNIVERSITY IN CINCINNATI

Lamont Peterson Edges David Avanesyan to Become Two-Division Champion; Marcus Browne Knocks Out Thomas Williams Jr.

CINCINNATI (Februarie. 19, 2017) – Adrien Broner en Adrian Granados battled in a close, back-and-forth main event Saturday on SHOWTIME, with the four-division world champion Broner eking out a split decision victory from Cintas Center at Xavier University in his hometown of Cincinnati.
Die stryd, wat behaal 97-93 Broner, 97-93 Granados and 96-94 Broner, was a tale of accuracy vs activity. Granados (18-5-2, 11 Uitklophoue), a native of Chicago, was the busier fighter, gooi 683 in vergelyking met 403 total punches for Broner (33-2, 24 Uitklophoue). Maar “Die Probleem” connected at a 41 percent rate, in vergelyking met net 21 percent for his opponent.
The fight was fought largely on the inside, which Broner said was because he hurt his left hand in the first round and couldn’t work off his jab. Regardless of the reason, Granados was able to make the fight into the rough affair he had predicted.
I knew that Adrian Granados was going to come tough,” Broner said. “Aan die einde van die dag, I was beating him up. This was an easy one for me. Ek voel goed.
Adrian Granados is a world class fighter, a lot of guys duck him but I wanted to fight him because that’s what I’m about. Inside this ring it’s business. Granados is a great friend of mine. It’s nothing personal.
I’m taking my career more seriously and being more positive. I want to apologize to everyone who looks up to me and has seen the foolish things I’ve done. I’m ready to be a better role model, a better father figure and a better star for everyone. “
Granados clearly disagreed with the decision and voiced his displeasure post fight.
I knew it wasn’t a pretty fight but I’m thankful to my team,” Granados said. “You already know, there were all types of games that they played with me. We had to change the weights. We had to change the scale. They are just playing all kind of games. I just want to be treated fairly.
“Ek verstaan, I don’t have a perfect record, but I can beat any of these guys. You have seen the scorecards. Split decision. Come on. Give me another one. Let’s do it again. Ek kan nie wag om hierdie stryd te kyk, because I know I won.
Come to my house. He fought smart and did his thing. If he thinks he did it this time, let’s do it again. Let’s do it in my house. Come to Chicago.
In die Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP boks mede-funksie, Lamont Peterson (35-3-1, 17 Uitklophoue) narrowly edged WBA (gereelde) Welterweight World Champion David Avanesyan (22-2-1, 11 Uitklophoue) in an entertaining 12-round unanimous decision (115-113, 116-112 twee keer) to become a two-division champion.
The fight was fought at close quarters from the start. Peterson attacked on the inside instead of working off his jab, as was largely his game plan when he unified the 140-pound division. Avanesyan and Peterson traded body punches and uppercuts, but it was Peterson who was more fluid and effective in the second half of the fight. Peterson committed to the body in the later rounds, verbinding op 98 shots to the body over 12 rondes.
Both fighters connected on 40 percent of their total punches, but the real difference was that Peterson connected on 39 percent of his power shots compared to 29 percent for Avanesyan.
I was expecting to pick up where I left off,” Peterson said of his 16-month layoff. “That may seem like a long time, but if you’re in the gym it’s not a long time. I took some steps forward vanaand. We’re looking to get back in camp and keep moving.
I expected to put pressure on him the way he did. I didn’t think he would fight back as hard as he did. He showed he’s a champion and shows he’s at this level. I want to fight anyone in the welterweight division now.
Avanesyan admitted it was a close fight but thought he did enough to get the decision.
I thought that I was landing my punches more cleanly while his punches were being blocked,” Avanesyan said. “Lamont is very good but I thought the judges were impressed with his movement, but I had the power.
In die opening bout van die aand, Marcus Browne (19-0, 14 Uitklophoue)platgeslaanThomas Williams Jr. (20-3, 14 Uitklophoue) three times on his way to a sixth-round KO (:42).
The southpaw vs. southpaw scrap was chippy from the opening bell. Browne capitalized on his significant reach advantage and controlled the distance with his jab, as Williams struggled to fight effectively on the inside.
In a bizarre second round, die onoorwonne 2012 U.S. Olympian scored a knockdown with a straight right and then cracked Williams with a left hook to the back of his head while he was on his knee. After some confusion, referee Ken Miliner correctly deducted a point from Browne and gave Williams five minutes to rest. Williams took the nearly full five minute allotment but never seemed the same when he returned.
Browne floored Williams again in the fourth with a counter right hook, Williams beat the count but consistently ate shots as he struggled to gauge the distance. The third and final knockdown of the fight happened courtesy of a right hook in the opening minute of the sixth. Williams remained on the canvas complaining of an injured jaw, and failed to beat the 10 second count.
He didn’tlook like he went down, so I made sure he went down,” Browne said of the incident in the second round. “He was trying to stand up in the squat position so I pushed him down a bit more. He was in a squatI didn’t see his gloves. Ek is jammer. I wasn’t being dirty.
The Staten Island native then called out WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson: “Adonis, just give me my chance. Let’s go. I want that strap.
Saterdag se tripleheader will re-air Maandag by 10 namiddag. EN/PT op Showtime EXTREME. It is also available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND and SHOWTIME ANYTIME.

Hier is wat die deelnemers het om te sê Donderdag from the Cintas Center:
Adrien BRONER
I know everyone is used to me coming up here and being boastful. That’s not me anymore. I have a lot of respect for Adrian Granados and he’s a great fighter.
A businessman that can fight. That’s what I am nowadays. I’m not a sh*t talker anymore. I’m a businessman that knows how to fight.
My best knockouts come when I don’t go for the knockout. I look at my last fight and think to myself that it was terrible because I was looking for the knockout. I watch the Khabib fight, I didn’t look for the knockout and it came. That’s when the biggest knockouts come. I just want to go in there and put on a great performance for the hometown crowd.
I just want to put on a great performance for everyone in Cincinnati. It’s going to be a special atmosphere and I want to give them their money’s worth.
I’ve had an amazing training camp and I feel great right now. I’m very thankful to my team who has helped me get to this point in my career.
ADRIAN Granados
I’m excite for this weekend. Ek is gereed om te gaan. I’ve been through a lot but we’re ready. I’m not here to lay down. I’m here to take home a victory for Chicago and for my people.
Saterdag I’m expecting a great fight. It is going to be a kill or be killed-type of fight. It is going to be a very exciting night for all of us.
People that think I’m an underdog don’t know me. They don’t know the tricks I have up my sleeve. I plan on thriving in the underdog position.
I’ve watched Adrien fight live on TV and in the arena many times. Spending eight weeks with him [in camp], I think I know him more than most people.
I plan on winning in a stoppage or a unanimous decision. No matter what I’m leaving with a victory.
“Dit gaan 'n groot stryd wees. We have a lot of mutual respect. Mixed with my style, I know it’s going to be a good fight. I hope everyone is ready for a great show.
DAVID AVANESYAN
I’m very happy to have this fight in America. This is my second time fighting in the U.S. and I’m looking forward to keeping my belt after fighting Lamont Peterson Saterdag.
I am excited to be fighting on a show like this. I hope that if I can get another win I can get even bigger fights and prove that I’m the best.
“Ek is gereed vir hierdie uitdaging. I know Lamont Peterson is looking to make this a great fight and I hope he brings it in the ring Saterdag.”
LAMONT PETERSON
“Ek het 'n wonderlike kamp gehad. I’m thankful to my team for getting me ready for this one. We got some great sparring that has me ready for this fight.
I’m ready to take care of business Saterdag nag. I’m looking forward to it and I hope everyone enjoyed it.
We always want to be in good condition. Avanesyan switches from southpaw to orthodox a lot, which is something we had to be prepared for. We’ve sparred with guys from both sides and gotten a lot of good rounds there.
He’s a strong fighter too. You know a Russian fighter is going to come in with power. We made sure I’ll be able to match him anytime the fight gets rough. I’ll be ready for anything.
I think my speed will give him trouble. He’s been able to handle everything in the past, but that doesn’t mean I won’t have advantages. I’m the more experienced fighter and I have the skills to get the win.
I feel like I’m going to get him out of there. I’m predicting a late stoppage.
MARCUS BROWNE
Top Dog can say what he wants to say. Op Saterdag night we’ll be Dog Whisperers. Make sure you tune-in for this one.
I’ve had a great training camp and I feel ready to get in the ring. Saterdag night can’t come soon enough for me.
I’m thankful to have this opportunity to fight on a great card like this. I’ve seen guys like Adrien and Lamont in the ring for a lot of years and I’m proud to be up here with them.
THOMAS WILLIAMS JR.
I’m feeling great. It was an awesome camp. Everyone should buy a ticket or watch it on TV. Get there early and don’t miss my fight.
Marcus is a boxer and I know he’s going to try to kick and scratch every now and then. If you let him get comfortable, he’s going to get in a zone. My job is to make him uncomfortable and make him do the things that I want him to do.
Everybody who knows me, knows what I bring to the table. When I get in the ring you know what’s coming. Saterdag nag, ‘Top Dogwill reign.
RAVONE Little, About Billions Promotions
It’s finally fight time. Kaartjies begin by $30 for this great card. We’re excited to be promoting big events in Adrien’s hometown and the great boxing fans here.
Adrian Granados is a guy who we’ve had in camp with Adrien before. We know what he’s capable of and how hard he works. Everyone knows he’s coming to bring it.
Adrien has done a lot in this sport and he has a lot more left to do. I know he’s going to do it, and it starts Saterdag nag.
Both guys are going to get in that ring and give it their best. Adrien Broner will be victorious, but we like the challenge.
LEONARD Ellerbe, Uitvoerende hoof van Mayweather Promotions
We’re very excited to be here in this wonderful city. It’s a great boxing town with a history of very good fighters from this area. Saterdag night is an outstanding show from top to bottom.
Both of the Adrien/Adrian’s know each other very well. You want to watch Adrien Broner Saterdag nag. He’s going to put on a phenomenal performance that I can’t wait to see.
From top to bottom this is an incredibly exciting card and we’re excited to work with About Billions to give boxing fans another great event.
STEPHEN Espinoza, Uitvoerende VP & Algemene Bestuurder, Showtime Sport
At SHOWTIME our mission is to bring fans the biggest, best and most meaningful fights in boxing. Saterdag is no exception. These are three all-action and evenly matched fights. This is our third time in Cincinnati with Adrien Broner and this is the strongest card we’ve had here yet.
When we announced our slate of winter fights, there was one event that I circled and said, ‘this is going to be the sleeper.This is an all-action card.
Adrian Granados and his team did not hesitate one bit to jump at this fight. We know what type of fighter Adrien Broner is. He is a guy who will never shy away from a challenge. Whether you like him or not, Adrien always entertains and he always fights hard. I can’t wait for a great night Saterdag.”
