Mayweather vs. McGregor ** In-Diepte Preview en Analise **

2 Kommentaar

Deur: Tony Penecale

Veg of Farce? Toe Floyd Mayweather Jr. afgetree in 2015 met miljoene dollars in sy sak en 'n onbesmette 49-0 rekord, daar was 'n stortvloed bespiegelings oor of hy ooit na die ring sou terugkeer. ’n Gewilde idee was sy ego, saam met sy flambojante leefstyl, sal nie toelaat dat Mayweather lank wegbly nie. Wanneer een van die jong weltergewig vooruitsigte–moontlik Keith Thurman of Errol Spence–konsensus geword het #1 weltergewig in die wêreld, Mayweather sou jeuk om terug te kom en sy troon terug te eis.

 

Egter, dit het geblyk 'n boks buitestander te wees wat Mayweather terug in die ring getrek het, in die persoon van die brutale en kranige UFC-ster, Conor "The Notorious" McGregor. Bekend vir sy treffende vermoë en vreeslose houding, McGregor het boks se geldkoning uitgeroep en hom teruggejaag met 'n High Noon-kragmeting in Las Vegas.

 

Kan hierdie Mixed Martial Arts-kampioen suksesvol sy boksdebuut maak en een van die beste boksers in die geskiedenis verslaan? Of sal Mayweather bewys dat daar 'n verskil is om 'n voortreflike doelskieter in 'n gevegskunsomgewing te wees as in 'n bokswedstryd? Veg of Farce? Ons sal uitvind in hierdie Las Vegas "Superfight"!

STYLE

 

Mayweather:

'n Suiwer bokser met buitengewone vinnigheid en instinkte wat alles goed doen met 'n arsenaal wat 'n klap insluit, akkurate regterhand, en linkerhaak wat verdubbel en verdriedubbel kan word met geweldige effek. Gebruik fynbewegings om teenstanders te vries en ponsbane oop te maak. Druk sy ken goed agter sy skouer om met stampe te rol. Selfs op die toue, hy is 'n moeilike teiken om 'n stewige hou op te kry. Hy het nie groot slaankrag nie. Die meeste van sy onderbrekingsoorwinnings kom daarvan om sy teenstanders uit te slaan en uit te klas terwyl hy selde skoon uitklophoue behaal het.

 

McGregor:

McGregor boks vanuit 'n suidpoot-houding, lig op sy voete en met behulp van laterale beweging, op soek na openinge vir sy donderende linkerhand. Terwyl hulle onder gemengde gevegskuns reëls meeding, McGregor het dikwels wegskramte en worsteling vermy, eerder om sy spoed en krag vanuit 'n treffende houding te gebruik, dikwels met vernietigende gevolge.

 

STERK

 

Mayweather:

* Ervaring – Boks is sedert sy kinderdae in Mayweather se bloed. Het 'n uitgebreide amateurloopbaan voltooi deur die bronsmedalje in die '96 Olimpiese Spele te wen. Hy het die afgelope tyd suksesvol op kampioenskapsvlak meegeding 19 jaar, alle style in die gesig staar en te verslaan.

 

* Kondisionering – Mayweather is ’n fiksheidsfreak met ’n wonderlike werksetiek wanneer dit by opleiding kom. Min vegters druk hulself soveel as Mayweather in die gimnasium, doen selfs middernagtelike opleidingsessies. Dit is duidelik in die ring wanneer sy stamina hom in die laat rondes dra.

 

* Ring Generaalskap – Mayweather ken elke duim van die ring en hoe om 'n geveg te beheer. Hy weet wanneer om aan te val, wanneer om te boks, wanneer om die hitte te verhoog, en wanneer om te kus. Mayweather besit die ring wanneer hy daar is. Selfs die seldsame kere wanneer hy in gevegte verstom was, hy kon vinnig tot rus kom en die dreigement onderdruk.

 

McGregor:

* Vreesloos – McGregor is ’n baie selfversekerde en braaf vegter. Hy het geen vrees getoon teen sommige gevaarlike MMA-vegters nie en het geen probleme gehad om hulle uit te tart nie, sy hande laat val, en dan sy dapper optrede te ondersteun.

 

* Onortodoks – Nie net is McGregor 'n suidpoot nie, hy is 'n uiters onortodokse suidpoot. Hy kom aggressief op sy tone in en skiet sy slae uit alle hoeke, hoofsaaklik sy handtekening linkerhand. Hy sal dit reguit of in 'n lusvormige manier van 'n afstand af gooi, en selfs in 'n kort kap mode terwyl in naby.

 

* Power – McGregor se treffende vaardighede en krag is in die UFC geprys en hy word wyd erken as een van die top-aanvallers in die wêreld van gemengde gevegskuns. Hy dra donderende krag in sy linkerhand en het uitklophoue in behaal 18 van sy 21 oorwinnings.

 

SWAKHEDE

 

Mayweather:

* Veroudering – Mayweather het dalk 'n onberispelike rekord, maar Father Time is nog nooit verslaan nie. Mayweather was meer platvoet in onlangse gevegte en hy is nou verby 40 jaar oud. Hy was nie so skerp in sy laaste paar wedstryde nie en is tevrede om teenstanders te neutraliseer en uit te wys.

 

* Onaktiwiteit – Dit is Mayweather se eerste geveg in byna twee jaar. Sedert sy oorwinning oor Oscar De la Hoya in Mei 2007, Mayweather het net 'n totaal van geveg 11 keer.

 

* Ponskrag – Die meeste van Mayweather se oorwinnings het gekom van 'n opeenhoping van vuishoue. Die gewone resultaat is dat die skeidsregter of opponerende hoek die geveg stop om verdere straf te voorkom. Nieteenstaande sy plofbare uitklophou van Victor Ortiz, dit is skaars om te sien dat Mayweather 'n wedstryd met een vuishou voltooi, dateer uit sy dae as 'n 130 lb bokser.

 

McGregor:

* Bokservaring – Ten spyte daarvan dat hy in gemengde gevegskuns meegeding het en ’n reputasie as ’n dominante doelskieter gehad het, daar is 'n groot gaping in die tegniek en vaardigheidsvlak van professionele boks, en McGregor is duidelik 'n beginner wanneer dit by tradisionele boks kom.

 

* Maklik om te slaan – Deur sy loopbaan in gemengde gevegskuns, verdediging was nooit McGregor se sterk punt nie en hy het 'n aantal skoon slae in sommige van daardie gevegte geneem. Berigte van sommige van sy sparringsessies het opgeduik wat sê dat McGregor se verdediging 'n aanspreeklikheid kan wees.

 

* Instinkte – McGregor het nie tradisionele boksinstinkte nie weens sy gebrek aan deelname aan die sport. Dinge wat natuurlik vir Mayweather en ander opgeleide boksers kom, sal nie so natuurlik kom nie “Mystic Mac,” en hy sal moet konsentreer en fokus daarop om nie sy bene of elmboë te gebruik soos hy in die gemengde gevegskunswêreld sou doen nie.

 

VORIGE VER

 

Mayweather:

(09-12-15) Mayweather het van sy geskiedkundige oorwinning oor Manny Pacquiao gekom toe hy teen die verlepte Andre Berto afgereken het.. Die geveg was 'n teleurstelling met Mayweather wat maklik na 'n eenparige besluit oorwinning in wat aangekondig is as sy uittrede-wedstryd.

 

McGregor:

Dit is McGregor se professionele boksdebuut.

 

3 Beste vertonings

 

Mayweather:

* Diego Corrales (1/20/01) – Kenners was verskeur oor wie om in hierdie een te kies, met baie wat na Corrales leun om met KO te wen. Mayweather het hom nooit in die geveg toegelaat nie, het hom vyf keer platgeslaan voordat die geveg in die 10de ronde gestaak is.

 

* Arturo Gatti (6/25/05) – Hoewel Mayweather ’n stewige weddery-gunsteling was, baie het verwag dat Gatti dinge vir Mayweather moeilik sou maak. Dit het nooit gebeur nie, want Mayweather het Gatti in die 1ste rondte onderdruk en 'n strawwe loesing toegedien voordat Gatti se hoek die geveg gestop het na ses eensydige rondtes.

 

* Ricky Hatton (12/8/07) – Hatton was onoorwonne toe hy aan die geveg deelgeneem het en het 'n wedstrydplan van konstante druk opgestel om Mayweather uit te dra. Na 'n paar ongemaklike rondtes, Mayweather kon sy reeks vind en oorneem, Hatton twee keer in die 10de ronde te vloer en 'n stilstand afgedwing.

 

McGregor:

* Eddie Alvarez (11/12/16 - UFC 205) – Word beskou as die mees dominante en volledige oorwinning in McGregor se loopbaan. Hy het sy voetwerk gebruik om Alvarez op 'n afstand te hou en takedowns te vermy. McGregor het Alvarez gestraf, hom twee keer vroeg platgeslaan, en hom dan uittart in die 2nd rond met sy hande agter sy rug. Kort daarna, 'n kombinasie van vier vure het Alvarez in 'n nederlaag verpletter.

 

* José Aldo (12/12/15 - UFC 194) – ’n Spoelteller-linkerhand van McGregor was al wat nodig was om Aldo uit te slaan, om hom op sy gesig te laat val en die oorwinning in 'n ongelooflike aan te teken 13 sekondes.

 

* Diego Brandao (07/19/14 - UFC 46) – McGregor het vroeg ’n afslaan behaal en toe sy linkerhand begin land. Vier minute in, McGregor kon die ring afsny en Brandao met 'n linkerhand vloer, dwing a 1st ronde stilstand.

 

 

KEYS oorwinning

 

Mayweather:

* Moenie dat McGregor enige selfvertroue kry nie

 

* Gebruik uitstekende bokservaring om hoeke te skep

 

* Time McGregor jaag en land reguit regterhande

 

McGregor:

* Verander sy aanval na die kop en lyf

* Dwing Mayweather teen die toue en maak die afstand toe

 

* Rof Mayweather op en dwing hom om kalmte te verloor

 

VRAE EN ANTWOORDE

 

* Waarom word dit met streng boksreëls betwis? Eenvoudige antwoord is geld. Om mee te ding deur boksreëls te gebruik, die wedstryd sal onder die Mayweather Promotions "Money Team"-vaandel wees. Die geld van die lewendige hek, advertensies, betaal-per-kyk-inkomste, ens. sal gaan na die vegter se take-home pay. Om te kompeteer onder reëls vir gemengde gevegskuns sal dan onder die UFC-vaandel val waar Dana White sekerlik 'n groot deel van die geld sal hou.

* Sal die 8oz handskoene 'n impak hê? McGregor het aan gemengde gevegskuns deelgeneem met vingerlose 4oz-handskoene. Die oorspronklike plan was om 10oz bokshandskoene te gebruik, maar daar is ooreengekom om eerder 8oz handskoene te gebruik. Dit bevoordeel Mayweather steeds, want hy is gewoond daaraan om swaarder handskoene te gebruik.

 

*Wie het die meeste om te verloor? Mayweather, sonder twyfel. Buite McGregor se span, sy mees lojale aanhangers, en beginnergeveg-aanhangers, meeste kenners verwag 'n oorheersende Mayweather-oorwinning. Die kans word in sy guns in 'n tradisionele bokswedstryd gestapel. As McGregor in 'n kort geveg verloor, dit is 'n morele oorwinning en 'n skewe verlies, al het sy ego gekneus, sou verwag word gegewe hul onderskeie ervaring. As Mayweather verloor of sukkel in 'n afsluiting, omstrede oorwinning, sy nalatenskap sou onherstelbaar aangetas word.

 

* Wat gebeur as McGregor MMA-aanvalle gebruik? Mayweather en sy span is deeglik wanneer hulle 'n gevegskontrak opstel. Sy kontrak toe hy teen Manny Pacquiao geveg het, het gelyk soos 'n Herman Melville-roman. As McGregor enige onwettige martial arts taktiek probeer, hy sal sekerlik 'n groot stuk verbeur, indien nie almal nie, van wat na raming minstens 'n betaaldag van $75 miljoen dollar is.

 

* Sal Mayweather meer aggressief veg? Oor die afgelope dekade, Mayweather het sy bestaan ​​gemaak deur sy verdedigings- en teenslaanvermoëns te gebruik om sy gevaarlike teenstanders te neutraliseer en op punte te wen. Hy lyk skaars soos die briljante vegter wat teenstanders vroeg in sy loopbaan verblind en oorweldig het. Terwyl hy nog vroeg 'n Mayweatheresque verdedigingstrategie sal gebruik, die openings wat McGregor bied en die begeerte om sy teëstander van braggadocios te verneder, sal daartoe lei dat Mayweather meer op sy vuiste sit en soek na kraggeleenthede vir die kop en lyf.

 

* Sal die geveg lelik word? Nie een vegter is bang om die arrogante skurkrol te speel of om die reëls 'n bietjie te buig nie. In sparringsessies, McGregor is gesien hoe hy pakslae na die agterkop kry en stoot. Mayweather is gekritiseer omdat hy Victor Ortiz met 'n vuishou uitgeslaan het toe Ortiz probeer om verskoning vra vir 'n oortreding. Die teenwoordigheid op Mayweather se span van Roger Mayweather en Leonard Ellerbe as brandbare elemente dra by tot die potensiaal vir drama. ’n Lelike geveg wat eindig met enige vegter wat gediskwalifiseer is, is nie ter sprake nie. Skeidsregter Robert Byrd sal sy hande vol hê om die aksie te beheer as foute begin voorkom.

 

* Wat gebeur volgende? As die geveg vermaaklik blyk te wees, naby, of omstrede, 'n rematch is moontlik. As McGregor die ontsteltenis afhaal, Mayweather sal beslis 'n herwedstryd versoek. As die geveg 'n noue Mayweather-oorwinning is, sy reputasie kan genoeg geskaad word dat hy 'n herwedstryd aanvra. As die geveg eindig met 'n oorheersende Mayweather-oorwinning, McGregor kan 'n ryker man en 'n groter crossover-ster teruggaan na die UFC. Mayweather beloof om weer uit te tree, maar waarskynlik net totdat hy weer uitgedaag word vir die volgende ultraryk geveg. Hy het ook te kenne gegee dat hy McGregor in die UFC Octagon kan uitdaag, al het hy op 'n onlangse konferensie aan verslaggewers gesê dit sal sy laaste wees “veg.”

 

PENECALE VOORSPELLING

 

Dit sal 'n hewige en elektriese atmosfeer wees soos die vegters die ring binnegaan, en dit sal opbou na 'n crescendo tydens 'n intense staar af. Soos Robert Byrd deur die instruksies gaan, McGregor sal in Mayweather se gesig inspring en probeer om te begin kapitaliseer op die intimidasiefaktor. Mayweather, normaalweg selfversekerd en ontspanne, sal reageer met 'n ysige glans.

 

McGregor sal uit sy hoek spring vir ronde een, beweeg vorentoe op sy tone en swaai sy arms op 'n onortodokse manier. Mayweather sal aan sy linkerkant beweeg weg van McGregor se kraghand as McGregor die aksie druk en vorentoe beweeg met 'n paar wilde linkerhande. McGregor sal nog 'n wilde links gooi wat te kort skiet en dan probeer om Mayweather in die toue te bult en hom met linkerhande knyp.. Mayweather sal teen die toue beklink en McGregor sal aan die binnekant probeer skeur, gebruik sy skouers as 'n wapen, wat die eerste waarskuwing van Robert Byrd regverdig. Soos die klok lui 'n slordige einde 1st ronde, McGregor sal saam met Mayweather kaak terwyl hulle na hul onderskeie hoeke terugstap.

 

Vir die eerste helfte van die 2nd ronde, die patroon sal voortgaan met Mayweather wat matador speel vir McGregor se bulstormloop en wilde linkerhande. Sowat 'n minuut in die strofe, terwyl McGregor nog een van sy vorderings begin, Mayweather sal na links draai en 'n spoel regterhand land, veroorsaak dat die sweet van McGregor se kop afspuit. Mayweather sal sy voete sit, rol sy skouers, en vuur nog 'n een-twee kombinasie in die middel af, maak 'n steek met sy steek en gooi nog 'n regterhand, wat weer spoel land.

 

Begin in die 3rd ronde, Mayweather sal sy oorheersing begin beweer. McGregor sal begin besef dat die beste boksvermoë in die wêreld van gemengde gevegskuns nie sukses in die bokswêreld waarborg nie. Die vinnigste NFL-lynspeler is steeds uit sy liga wanneer hy teen Usain Bolt gejaag het. Mayweather se natuurlike vermoë en ervaring sal skyn as hy na goeddunke met regte hande begin land, en McGregor sal die effekte wys met swelling en verkleuring onder sy linkeroog.

 

Die ongelykheid tussen talent en ervaring sal duidelik wees soos die wedstryd vorder in die 4ste en 5ste rondes. Mayweather sal gemaklik wees om in die sak te staan ​​en McGregor na willekeur met regte hande te slaan. Terwyl die regterhand sy hou van keuse teen sy suidpoot-teenstander sal wees, Mayweather sal ook voorloop met verskeie linkerboontjies, land sy pakslae uit 'n duiselingwekkende verskeidenheid van hoeke. Die einde van die 5ste rond sal 'n vinnig-vermoeiende McGregor op sy stoel sien sak

 

Die 6ste rondte sal 'n straf saak wees, soortgelyk aan Mayweather s'n 2005 disseksie van Arturo Gatti. Mayweather sal die huis vir sy regterhande gevind het en sal voortgaan om hulle skerp te land. Hy sal ook die steek steek, so wanneer McGregor op die vals byt en wegdraai om sy ken te beskerm, Mayweather sal die pons na die liggaam dryf voordat hy oor die bokant na die kop terugkom. ’n Linkerbo-snit sal McGregor se knieë knyp en nog ’n regterhand by die klok sal hom laat wankel, stuur hom terug na sy hoek.

 

Terwyl McGregor op sy stoel sit, sy linkeroog amper toe geswel, en bloed wat uit sy neus vloei, sy hoek sal besluit om hul vegter van bykomende straf te red en die geveg te stop. Mayweather sal uit sy stoel opstaan ​​en hom verheug oor sy oorwinning.

 

Die wenner deur 6ste ronde TKO is FLOYD “MONEY” MAYWEATHER JR!!!!

“On behalf of Mayweather Promotions we send our prayers and deepest condolences to the Porter family,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, Uitvoerende hoof van Mayweather Promotions. “In boxing we have to deal with curveballs that constantly come at us. Thomas Dulorme has been training hard and is ready to face Yordenis Ugas. Ugas is a tough competitor that shouldn’t be overlooked, and Dulorme is ready. The fight fans are definitely in for an outstanding show between Dulorme and Ugas come Augustus. 26.”
“I have been training for this fight for a several weeks now, I knew at the-time Porter was going to be a tough challenger so I took training camp extremely serious,” Said Dulorme. “Fighting on a card this big, you cannot doubt anyone in front of you. My new opponent doesn’t change much. All I can do is continue to stay focused and listen to my team and bring the best fight I can.”
“It’s an honor to be fighting on one of the biggest boxing cards in history and fighting in the same ring as one of the most famous boxers in the world – Floyd Mayweather,” Ugas said. “This is the type of fight that I’ve been looking forward to having since I came back last year after being off for almost three years. This will be my fifth fight in a year. And this is the second fight that I’ve taken on short notice this year. But it doesn’t bother me because I’m always training. Dulorme is a tremendous fighter. He’s very aggressive and very technical. He’s going to get my very best as I know I will get the very best from him. It’s really an honor to fight a quality opponent on a card like this.”

Representing Puerto Rico, by way of French Guiana, Dulorme last fought in January when he stopped Brian Jones in the sixth-round to pick up his second straight win after the 27-year-old had previously challenged Terrence Crawford for a vacant world title in 2015. Prior to his title opportunity, Dulorme picked up impressive victories over Hank Lundy, Karim Mayfield and DeMarcus Corley. He will look to make a statement on his way to another world title opportunity with a win against Ugas.
Ugas will enter the ring for the third time in six months when he faces Dulorme on Augustus. 26. The 31-year-old Ugas, a bronze medal winner for the Cuban team in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, has been on an impressive four-fight roll that started last year when he scored a decision victory over then unbeaten Jamal James and followed it up by stopping then unbeaten Bryant Perrella in the fourth round. Ugas continued to take down contenders in 2017 as he defeated Levan Ghvamichava by decision on Februarie. 2 before stepping in at the last minute two months later to stop Nelson Lara.

“This isn’t just a fight; this is an event. We both owe the fans and everyone tuning in a lot of excitement. That’s what we’re there to give them.
“I know I’m going to face a warrior. It’s not for me to worry about what he does on a day-to-day basis. I have to worry about what I have to go out there and do. I have to execute the game plan. I’m not going to overlook him. That’s why I’m in here working extremely hard.
“When it’s all said and done it comes down to the two competitors. My dad can give me a brilliant game plan but he can’t get in there and fight for me. Same for Conor and his team. It doesn’t matter who the crowd’s rooting for, it’s two men in there.
“This training camp has been a lot different. I’ve spent some time in Miami and in Los Angeles training. I’ve been pushed really hard by the young guys in camp. I don’t need to post every workout video because I’ve been around this sport a long time and everyone knows what I can do.
“On paper we know he’s taller and has a long reach. He has youth on his side. People say that he has power on his side. I know that ring IQ and experience are in my favor. I have the fight knowledge on my side. We both have advantages.
“I know he’s going to come out and try to switch stances. He’ll come out southpaw then go the other way. But all that does is burn energy. Then I’m going to give him a look and give him some knowledge, and we’ll see what happens.
“Conor feels it’s not going to go past four rounds and I don’t think it’s going the distance. We’re both confident in our skills and we’ll see who gets it done.
“My opponent is always confident, but it’s different being in there with Floyd Mayweather. They realize that this is real. But for me, it’s just another day. That’s the mentality that has allowed me to stay undefeated.
“It’s been great to be in a position as a promoter to give knowledge to young fighters. It’s one of my ultimate goals to take a young fighter and make them a household name. I want to take fighters to the next level.”
GERVONTA DAVIS
“I’m feeling great. Being in the same ring and on the undercard of Floyd’s fight is amazing. I’ve worked hard to get to this point and I’m ready to put on a great show on Augustus 26.
“Training has been sharp. I’ve been stopping a lot of guys in training. I can’t wait to get in the ring and give the fans a big knockout.
“Being on this card has been a big motivation in training. It feels great and I’m truly blessed to be in this position. I think the excitement that this card brings will be great for the sport of boxing. I’m ready to shine.
“I know I have a tough undefeated opponent who’s going to come in and try to take my belt and I have to take care of business. He has some decent power so I think it’s going to be an exciting fight.
“I’ve accomplished a lot at a young age. It’s all because of the hard work that I’ve put in for my entire life. I don’t complain, I just keep working every day.
“I’m ready to take full advantage of this chance I have. It’s just one step on a long road I see to the top of this sport.”
JACK Badou
“Everything is great in training camp. I’ve been in training for about seven weeks getting ready for this matchup. I’m excited and happy to be a part of such a big event.
“I think this weight is going to be better for me. I’m going to have more power. I’ll be more athletic and style-wise I prefer to fight bigger guys. I can use my speed, but I also like to go inside and break my opponent down. It’s harder if I have to chase them, but the big guys are going to be right there.
“Cleverly has a high work rate and he’s very tough. He’s going to come to fight. That’s what we want. It’s a good first fight for me at this weight.
“I’m excited to work hard these next two weeks and get to fight night. He’s been in some good fights but I’m different than anyone he’s faced. I’ll show how my skills translate to light heavyweight.
“It’s really a blessing to be in this position. I’m happy because a lot of other fighters don’t get to be on this stage. I’m so thankful to my whole team. I won’t let the fans down and onAugustus 26, I’m coming to steal the show.
“I’ve done everything right to get to this point. It’s an honor to be in this position. I just have to take care of business.”
ANDREW TABITI
“This is a huge deal to me. Floyd Mayweather is the biggest star in boxing and to be a part of everything that’s going on is a dream come true.
“I was really happy when I found out that I’d be fighting on this card. There aren’t really words for how blessed I am to be in this position.
“Hierdie stryd beteken baie vir my. This is a chance for me to become the American face of cruiserweights just like Steve Cunningham was. I’m taking this very seriously and I have great respect for Steve Cunningham, but this is my time to take it.
“I’m ready to be a fresh face in the cruiserweight division. I’m going to give it everything I have. I’m humbled by this experience and I’m going to take advantage of it.
“I can’t wait to open the show. There’s a little added pressure being at the beginning of the PPV but I’m going to embrace it and put on a great performance.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, Uitvoerende hoof van Mayweather Promotions
“Floyd is a lot wiser now. He’s gotten smarter with age. He’s a young man who has an incredible vision and I have a great deal of respect for everything he’s done.
“The older you get, the harder it is to get things going in training. It’s taken Floyd a while to get in a groove, but he’s in a groove now.
“All of these records being broken are because of Floyd Mayweather. He’s been innovative and he always thinks outside the box. That’s why he’s had such tremendous success.
“We’ve been able to generate a great deal of interest in new avenues and bring Floyd to even more casual fans because of the boxing and MMA worlds colliding. This is going to be one of the biggest nights in sports entertainment history.
“Both guys are looking to knock each other out. I believe Conor McGregor when he says that he’s looking to knock Floyd out in the first four rounds. He hasn’t shown me anything to make me think differently. Floyd usually just goes and does his thing, but with some things that have happened recently, I think Floyd really wants to get him out of there.”

LONG ISLAND, NY (Julie 16, 2017) – Once-beaten Jamal James (21-1, 9 Uitklophoue) scored a unanimous decision victory over former title challenger Jo Jo Dan (36-5, 19 Uitklophoue) inPremier Boxing Champions op FS1 en Fox Sports aksieSaterdag night from thenewly-renovated NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Staande 6'2″, James was intent on using his length to move around Dan and deliver jabs and power punches off of it it. He had success snapping the head back of Dan throughout the early rounds and built up a lead on the scorecards.
“My range was working perfectly,” said James. “I knew he was going to be tough and he was a little tougher than I thought.”
Dan got himself back into the fight after focusing on the body throughout the early rounds and was able to break through James’ guard to land effectively. The southpaw temporarily rocked James late in the sixth round and was able to pick up some momentum for the following rounds.
“I was catching him with nice clean shots, but he kept coming,” said James. “I knew he was going to keep coming forward. He started moving his head and made me miss a couple times. I was trying to avoid a big shot but he did get me with some body shots.”
Egter, James was able to stick to his game plan and had success over the final couple of rounds while fighting Dan in the trenches. Na 10 rounds of welterweight action, the judges scored the bout 99-91-, 98-92 en 97-93 all for James.
Fighting on the undercard of his older brother Omar, Brandon Figueroa (13-0, 8 Uitklophoue) used high volume punching to dominate Fatiou Fassinou (28-7-3, 15 Uitklophoue) on his way to a unanimous decision victory in their junior featherweight contest.
“I knew that he was a flashy fighter that was going to have a lot of speed and movement,” Said Figueroa. “I tried to attack the body. He was a really tough opponent. He took all my best body shots.”
Figueroa had no problem trying to stand and trade with Fassinou as his superior speed and length allowed him to consistently land first. Fassinou’s awkward style included switching stances almost nonstop throughout the bout, and made it tough for Figueroa to sit down and deliver knockout blows.
“This was my first fight back in a while and I was happy to get the rust off,” said James. “Now I’m going to get back to work. I want to get at least one or two more fights this year and then really explode next year and set myself up to be a top contender.”
As the fight went on, Fassinou slowed down enough to where Figueroa was able to trap him in the corner and deliver powerful blows throughout the last two rounds. Fassinou ended the night on his feet but all three judges gave the bout to Figueroa by scores of 79-73 en 78-74 twee keer.
“I wanted to break him down,” Said Figueroa. “He took my punches well. I think he won a round or two. I needed to catch my breath and I was hoping to stop him late. Óf manier, I got the win and I’m happy.”

LONG ISLAND, NY (Julie 15, 2017) – Onoorwonne Omar Figueroa (27-0-1, 19 Uitklophoue) returned to the ring in emphatic fashion with a third-round stoppage of former champion Robert Guerrero (33-6-1, 18 Uitklophoue) in die belangrikste gebeurtenis van Premier Boxing Champions op FOX enFox Sports Saturday night from the newly-renovated NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The show was the first major boxing event to take place at the Coliseum in 31 jaar.
The former world champion Figueroa returned to the ring after a 19-month layoff and hardly missed a beat, as he sent Guerrero to the canvas five times over the three rounds and became the first fighter to ever stop Guerrero.
“We knew that it was going to be tough to accomplish but I had obviously trained to get the knockout,” said Figueroa.” With my hands finally being healthy, we knew that it was actually possible.
After winning the first round on all three judges’ telkaarte, Guerrero continued to fight Figueroa from the inside and attempted to punish him with power shots. Egter, it was Figueroa who landed the first decisive blow of the fight, a scorching left uppercut that sent Guerrero immediately to the floor.
“I haven’t fought this way in a long time because I didn’t have the power in my hands,” Said Figueroa. “I’ll always find a way to come out on top though.”
Figueroa continued to attack, putting Guerrero down for a second time with a body shot and once more with a glancing shot right before the end of the round. Guerrero looked to blitz Figueroa to start the third round and immediately had Figueroa cornered.
“After the first knockdown I knew that the instinct would kick-in for him and he’d go all out,” Said Figueroa. “I thought it was going to be over after the first knockdown of the second round but the ref let it keep going.
“I’ve been working since January so I’m going to take some time off,” continued Figueroa. “Then I’m going to get back into camp to get back to 140-pounds. I want to be back in the ring by the end of the year.”
The unbeaten fighter was able to turn the tide quickly however, putting Guerrero down twice more with strong flurries before referee Ron Lipton waved off the bout 1:34 in die ronde. Na afloop van die bout, Guerrero was taken to Nassau University Medical Center for precautionary reasons.
Onoorwonne 2012 U.S. Olimpiese Marcus Browne (20-0, 15 Uitklophoue) continued to solidify his status as a world title contender with an electrifying stoppage of previously undefeatedSeanie Monaghan (28-1, 17 Uitklophoue) in the second-round of their light heavyweight battle.
Despite fighting in front of a friendly crowd in his native Long Island, Monaghan struggled from the start as a blistering left hand from Browne sent him to the canvas early in the first round. Monaghan was quickly in survival mode and was aided when referee Steve Willis halted the bout after deeming that Browne had connected with an accidental low blow while looking to finish his opponent.
“”I could tell that I hurt him, but I didn’t want to rush and walk into anything,” Said Browne. “I just took my time and allowed everything to fall into place.”
“It was an honor for me to represent Long Island,” said Monaghan. “I knew that it was a big task tonight. Marcus is even faster than in sparring. I’ll be alright though, I’m happy that if I had to lose, it was to a guy the quality of Marcus Browne.”
Monaghan was able to recover and eventually make it through the round, but Browne put his foot on the gas pedal to begin round two. Browne was able to trap Monaghan against the ropes and delivered a crushing series of body blows and chopping shots that caused Monaghan to hunch over. The onslaught eventually forced the referee to call a halt to the bout 40 sekondes in die rondte.
“I’m honored and blessed to be a part of this event and I just want to move upwards and onward from here,” Said Browne. “I want a date with Adonis Stevenson next. It’s amazing to have this kind of exposure on FOX and FOX Deportes. I loved the opportunity to make new fans tonight.”
“Marcus has always been a fast starter,” said Monaghan. “He always comes out very fast. I thought I was ready for the speed, but he is very skilled. I think he’s going to go a long way.”
In front of a large contingent of his hometown fans, Adam Kownacki (16-0, 13 Uitklophoue) put on an impressive performance against his best opposition to date by scoring a fourth-round TKO of former title challenger Arthur Pin (20-3, 15 Uitklophoue) in their heavyweight showdown.
“I always knew that I had him,” gesê Kownacki. “From the first shot I hit him in the body, I knew he didn’t have enough. My pressure was too much.”
The fight began with both men looking to impose their styles as Szpilka attempted to establish his jab and evade his opponent, while Kownacki tried to trap Szpilka in a corner where he could tee-off with power punches.
Despite his left eye swelling up after two rounds, Kownacki was able to take the first bit of momentum by connecting late in round three with a series of power shots that appeared to at least shake Szpilka up.
As the fourth round began Kownacki wasted no time, landing a big punch that caused blood to start pouring out of the nose of Szpilka. While the former title challenger tried to keep his distance, the heavier Kownacki was able to land a series of power punches that put Szpilka on the canvas.
“I have a great trainer and a great team that has gotten me into great shape,” gesê Kownacki. “I have to give them all of the credit. Whatever he was doing, I was ready for.”
While Szpilka was able to get to his feet, Kownacki continued to keep the pressure on as another series of power punches, led by a strong right hand, sent Szpilka into a heap and forced referee Artur Mercante to stop the bout 1:37 in die ronde. Kownacki landed 42 percent of his power punches in the decisive fourth round.
“It took Deontay Wilder and Bryant Jennings a lot longer to get him out of there,” gesê Kownacki. “But I still have things that I’m going to go back and fix. Once I improve those aspects of my game I think that a lot of people are going to know me.”
“He hit me once with a good shot and after that I just never recovered,” said Szpilka. “I think it was a left hook. I’m going to rest now. This was not how I wanted this to go and I’m very disappointed.”

OMAR FIGUEROA
“We know that Guerrero is a tough guy and it’s going to be a rough fight. We prepared really well to go 12-rounds and get the win.
“I love having my brother Brandon in camp and on this card with me. It gives me an opportunity to take my mind off of my fight and focus on Brandon for a bit. It really helps me cope with everything leading up to a big fight.
“Training camp was amazing. We did a lot of sparring with lefties so that my footwork is down. Other than that I was just grinding every day and trying to get better.
“I’m really happy to have the team that I have. Joel Diaz and I work really well together because we have the same mentality, but he can tell me when I need to take a step back.
“New York is one of the places that has held historic fights. Being on that same stage as great fighters from the past is amazing. It’s one of those things that makes you feel like you made it.
“I know how hard Robert Guerrero has worked to get to this point in his career. I want to prove that I can be in the big fights that Guerrero has already had. I’ve had a long time off but I can’t wait to get it Saterdag nag.
“I feel like I have everything in my arsenal to make this a successful night. I’m looking to show all of the things I’ve been working with Joel Diaz on and give the fans a great fight to remember.”
ROBERT GUERRERO
“I’m expecting Omar to come to fight. He’s undefeated with a great record so if it’s not broken, I don’t expect him to change his style.
“You have to prepare for everything for a guy as awkward as Omar. I’m going to have to make adjustments in the ring. If I can stay focused I know I can get the victory.
“I’ve made a lot of improvements since the last time people saw me. There’s way too much talent in this division for me to just come forward and press. I’m in great shape and I’m ready to work behind my jab do everything I need to do to be successful in the ring.
“I’m blessed to be here and have this tremendous opportunity in the main event again on FOX and FOX Deportes. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the ring but I never stopped working in the gym.
“I’ve said before that I had to go to the drawing board but this time we erased everything and rewrote it. This layoff has really helped me get in great shape and I’m really excited to get in the ring. I’m ready to turn the page to the next chapter of my career and that starts with this fight.
“It’s an honor to be able to work with my dad every day. It’s an incredible blessing for me to have such a loyal team. My father treats me like a man just like he always has. He makes me a better fighter every time out. He knows me like the back of his hand.”
MARCUS BROWNE
“I’m ready to roll. I’m ready let my hands go and get in the ring and rumble Saterdag nag. This is going to be a great night of fights.
“Dit is 'n groot stryd vir my. It’s a great fight against a very determined and experienced fighter. Seanie is a veteran in this sport but he’s still hungry. He has a lot to lose, as ek. We’re both going to put it on the line.
“I’m excited to be part of opening up this new venue. There are a lot of different cultures that come together in Long Island and it should make for a great crowd.
“I think the timing that my career has progressed has been great. I’ve been going step-by-step and I feel like I’m on a good path towards a world title.
“I’m very familiar with Seanie from sparring together but I know that he’s a veteran who’s going to have a great game plan. Training camp has me ready and I’m going to be prepared to make adjustments. I’m ready to lay it all out there.”
SEANIE MONAGHAN
“Oefenkamp is uitstekend. I’ve been sparring a lot of lefties and getting ready for this style matchup. This is probably the longest camp I’ve ever had and I feel great. I’m on weight right now and ready for this fight. This is the best shape I’ve ever been in.
“It’s very inspiring to be looking at the place that you’ll be fighting while you’re training. I do my hardest workout on the track right across the street from the Coliseum. It helps me dig deep while I’m suffering.
“This is going to be an interesting matchup. Marcus and I are pretty much opposites in the ring. I’m a righty and he’s a lefty. He’s a fast-starter and I’m a strong finisher. It’s my job to turn it into a battle of wills.
“I’m fully-charged physically and locked and loaded mentally heading into Saterdag nag. This is the caliber of opponent I’ve been looking to face for a while and I’ll be ready when the bell rings.
“This is my 29ste time getting into the professional ring so I’m not concerned about the emotions that come with fighting at home. Any kind of energy that I feel, I’m going to use it for fuel in the later rounds when I need it.”
Artur PIN
“I want to show that my loss was an accident and that I’m ready to put on a great show for the fans.
“We will see how hard this fight will be. That is up to him, because I will be ready to put it all on the line and get this win. People want to see emotions in the ring and we will see if Kownacki is ready for me.
“I have to take this fight very seriously. I am in the best shape of my career. I can’t take for granted that I’m going to go in there and knock him out immediately.
“I waited a long time for this return. I broke my hand after the Deontay Wilder fight but now I am back and 100 percent ready for this fight.
“Adam is like I was before. He’s working his way up this sport and he’s very hungry. I respect Adam and I wish him the best, but not Saterdag nag.”
ADAM Kownacka
“This is a big stage and a great challenge for me. Now it’s time for me to show that I’m ready for this. I’ve never ducked a challenge and I never will.
“All the hard work is done. I feel great after a really strong training camp and now the fun part comes Saterdag nag.
“Ek sparred met (top U.S. amateur) Cam Awesome, who is a good mover around the ring so he’s definitely helped prepare me for what Artur is going to bring.
“It means a lot to be in a fight between two Polish heavyweights. We’re two of the best Polish heavyweights in the world and only one of us can wear the crown.
“Dit is my kom partytjie. I’m going to make a statement Saterdag. I’ve been patiently waiting for this chance and now I’m going to prove that I belong.
“Artur and I definitely have different styles. I’m more of a puncher and he’s more of a mover. I worked a lot in training camp on cutting off the ring.”
BRANDON FIGUEROA
“I feel like I’ve improved a lot during this training camp. I feel very strong and confident heading into this fight. It’s really exciting to be on a card like this with my brother headlining.
“I’m just going to take my career step-by-step and take it one fight at a time. Hopefully if I keep working hard and performing I can get a title shot. I just want to take every fight that I can so that I can perform in front of the fans and give them a great show.
“I feel very prepared and very confident heading into this fight. This is definitely one of the best camps I’ve had. I fight a lot of heavy guys in Joel Diaz’s gym and it helped me get perfectly prepared for this fight.
“I love fighting on television so that I can give fans a good show. I’m always hungry for the win and now being in New York is an added piece of motivation.”
LOU DIBELLA, President van DiBella Vermaak
“Op Saterdag big-time boxing returns to Long Island. Dit was 31 years since a big boxing show on Long Island and that show was headlined by Mike Tyson. Saterdag night is going to be a great night for boxing in the New York area.
“This show has three terrific fights coming to us Saterdag nag. I love that this card has three fights where the outcome is up in the air and they’re all-action matchups.
“Artur and Adam are in something of a grudge match, with these two Polish heavyweights talking about this for over a year, and now it’s finally going to happen. This is an important heavyweight fight. The loser takes a big step back.
“Marcus Browne is a young lion rising his way up the ranks at light heavyweight. Seanie has been waiting a long time for an opportunity like this. The winner of this fight is right there for a world title. These guys have been friendly in the past, but they won’t be friends Saterdagnag.
“The main event is definitely a crossroads fight to some extent. I have tremendous respect for both Omar and Robert. Omar is returning to the ring against one of the most experienced and battle-tested fighters out there in Guerrero.
“This is going to be a good night for Long Island and everyone who watches this in person or on FOX and FOX Deportes is going to be in for a great night of fighting.”
