Mikaelian: ‘I Am the Smarter One’

Germany’s Noel Mikaelian believes he has what is takes November 10 in the Ali Trophy Cruiserweight Quarter-Final against Latvia’s Mairis Briedis at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, ЗША.

 

Tickets are available via TicketMaster.com або па тэлефоне 800-745-3000.

 

 

 

“Boxing is a really tough sport and somehow you get addicted to it,” said 28-year-old Mikaelian (24-1, 10 КО).

 

 

 

“If you are a boxer, you are a boxer for life. Boxing taught me that I am really disciplined; I got a dedication for the sport and I never give up.

 

 

 

Mikaelian is a former WBO Youth champion and WBO International Cruiserweight Champion, but his biggest test to date is only days away.

 

 

 

“The quarter-final against Briedisit is going to be a tough fight. He is the favorite, he is a really good fighter. He has a good school, the Soviet school, сілу ўдару. He is also a thinker in the ring, but I think I am the smarter one.

 

 

 

“I will do what is necessary to win. I fight after the model; hit and not get hit. That is boxing to me and how boxing should be.”

 

 

 

I’ve been giving a second chance,” said Briedis (24-1, 18 КО) one of the stars of Season I of the World Boxing Super Series.

 

 

 

And the Latvian sports hero is undoubtedly a favorite to take home this season’s Ali Trophy in the 200 lb division.

 

 

 

“I want to use this second opportunity. I am going to use it, and let us see how far I get. Each one of us in the tournament is different. It’s a very big test for myself. Both physically and psychologically.”

 

 

 

Last year in October the former WBC World Champion was awarded as Commander of the Order of the Three Stars, the highest state award in Latvia, for ‘outstanding achievements in sports and significant contribution to the promotion of Latvia in the world.

 

 

 

“I want to show by my example that there is a need for Latvians, and not only Latvians, but for everyone in general to pull together. That people need to have fighting spirit,” said the 33-year-old.

 

 

 

“There are many things I have to work on myself, both physically and psychologically. I am not getting any younger, but I am going to do everything I can.

 

 

 

“Physically I feel good in myself. My physical indexes are good. Зараз, the most important thing, with God’s help, is to work hard with all my boxing techniques. I want to show what I am capable of in boxing and show what I am like.”

 

 

 

Mairis Briedis vs Noel Mikaelian and Krzysztof Glowacki vs Maksim Vlasov are the two Cruiserweight Quarter-Finals on an incredible doubleheader when the World Boxing Super Series comes to the UIC Pavilion in Chicago.

Барацьба Паведаміць: Decastro накаўт Rozembergs, як дрэва, & Сміт Ацэнка Сенсацыйныя TKO Дэбют Перамогі

Справаздача: Джанлука Ды Каро

Звычайна гэта ці Пятніца або Субота ўвечары, што я атрымаю свой рэгулярны выпраўлення
з кулачны дзеянняў, На гэтым тыдні, хоць гэта было крыху па-іншаму, як я зрабіў
Паездка з Лондана да Лідса у нядзелю раніца, in order to catch the latest offering from former Irish Champion, Аказалася прамоўтэр, Ці Мерт.

Улічваючы гэта было Нядзеля дзень / вечар шоў, Я быў моцна
здзіўлены, ці гэта ўражанне, што, калі я прыбыў на месца, a good couple of hours before the advertised start time, it was already more or less full to capacity.

Павінен сказаць заўзятарам Лідса сапраўды ведаюць, як атрымліваць асалоду ад, the
Атмасфера на Pryzm начны клуб быў электрычны, so no surprise that when the highly entertaining MC, Містэр. Тоні Дын, announced each of the boxers that the crowd vociferously showed their support, not just of the home fighters but they also made the opponents welcome too, which makes a nice change.

Хэдлайнерам шоў быў мясцовы фаварыт Сэм Сміт, who was making her pro debut, супраць Латвіі Кацярына Lecko.

Ад прэч абедзве дзяўчыны пераехалі заняць цэнтральнае кольца, tentatively boxing off the back of their jabs, after about twenty seconds or so Lecko decided to step it up a tad, throwing a good stiff jab immediately followed by a looping right to the head, Smith closed her guard just enough to catch the shot on her glove, Перад здымкай з прамой правай, which caught the Latvian flush.

Сміт зачынілі зноў, і хай разарваць з вялікім правам да цела і злева
у галаву, Fecko паспрабаваў ўстаць яе зямлі, але Сміт прыйшоў у яшчэ
мацней прымушаючы латышская спіной да канатах.

Першапачаткова Fecko выкарыстаў яе ўдар з вялікім эфектам, каб Сміт у страху, але
around the forty five second mark Smith slipped under the jab and let rip with a huge shot to the body, quickly followed by another to the head that shook the Latvian girl to the core.

Сміт пераехаў прама на забойства, кідаць мноства гузоў,
leaving Fecko no option but to cover up in the hope that she could survive the onslaught.

Smith had now corralled the Latvian into the corner and began bombarding Fecko with shots from every conceivable angle, then just as Fecko straightened up Smith landed an absolute peach of a shot to the body that sent Fecko straight to the canvas.

As referee Jimmy Byrne made the count Fecko looked towards her corner and shook her head before desperately trying to make it to her feet, however clearly in distress she instantly dropped back down onto one knee, leaving Jimmy Byrne no option but to call a halt to proceedings on the seventy second mark of the first round.

Prior to Smith-Fecko Lincoln’s unbeaten big punching Middleweight Nathan Decastro, супраць Латвіі Элвіса Rozembergs, у шэсць круглыя.

Decastro’s ring moniker is ‘Nightmare’ and boy oh boy I bet young Mr. Rozembergs will be having plenty of them after this fight.

Decastro, Былы англійская Amateur International, is about as clinical as they come. Right from the off the Lincolnshire lad picked his shots with precision, landing three pin-point perfect shots just with his opening salvo.

Rozembergs з'яўляецца гульня, хоць, clearly believing that attack is the best form of defense the Latvian came straight back with a series of off target looping right hands, кожны раз прадстаўляючы Decastro з выразным мэты -Rozembergs цела - у нацэліўся на, што, вядома, ён зрабіў, landing seriously solid shots each time.

On about the minute mark Rozembergs tried to back Decastro up by coming in hard and fast with a double handed flurry, however Decastro side stepped before letting rip with a big right to the body, which sent Rozembourgs to the canvas.

Латвійская быў відавочна ў бядотным становішчы, instantly referee Jimmy Byrne stopped the fight and called the ringside doctor and paramedics into the ring.

Праз некалькі хвілін Rozembergs дапамаглі ўстаць на ногі і, як ён зрабіў
атрымаў захопленыя апладысменты ад удзячнай аўдыторыі.

Да Decastro-Rozembergs быў яшчэ адзін прафесійны дэбют, на гэты раз
Middlesborough нападаючым Крыс Вуд, супраць Эдгара Milevics.

Milevics не зрабiў справядлівае трохі лепш, чым любы Lecko або Rozembergs, in fact the Latvian lad was sent to the deck in the first twenty seconds,
пасля Wood гайданкі вялікія права ў яго рэбры.

Milevics зрабіў лік, but on the restart you could see his heart was no longer in the fight, electing instead to cover up in the vein hope that Wood wouldn’t land another big shot.

Прыкладна на другі адзнакі пяцьдзесят здарылася непазбежнае, Wood sneaked a lovely little hook in just behind Milevics guard, causing the Latvian to bring his hands down to protect his body, which left him open to a big right to the head, which left Milevics no option but to cover up again and as he did Wood calmly threw another big left to the body, which sent Milevic down to the canvas for the second time.

Milevic just about managed to make it to his feet but referee Jimmy Byrne took one look and see how unsteady the Latvian was on his feet and rightly stopped the fight on the sixty seconds mark.

Падтрымка трох прафесійных баёў, were a number of European Boxing Federation (EBF) санкцыянаваныя прыступы.

Галоўны з, для Міжнароднага чэмпіянату пеўня ЕБФ, see Leeds’ Sophie Varley in a rematch against Malta’s Mandy Cortis.

Cortis had come all the way from sunny Malta to a rather wet and Windy Leeds to defend the title she won last time the two met.

Першыя тры раўнда Cortis гуляў Чакаю гульню, спадзеючыся, што ўсе
Дзеянне Дзяўчына Варлей б ўдар сябе з.

Круглы чатыры было значна больш, нават справа, with Cortis electing to take the fight to Varley, Першапачаткова Мальтыйскі дзяўчына была пасадка добрыя некалькі стрэлаў, but Varley is as tough as they come and by about the fifty second mark wrenched control back with a fantastic display of boxing, culminating with Cortis backed onto the ropes and absorbing a seemingly never ending barrage.

Аб адну хвіліну трыццаць знак ён зноў быў Cortis на атакі, utilizing her jab to great effect to set Varley up for a combination or two, until the final ten seconds or so, які быў чыстым тварам да твару Каралеўская бітва.

Cortis кантралявалі вялікую частку апошніх двух раўндах, з некаторымі
прыгожы бокс, Варлей яшчэ даў вялікую ўвагу сабе, толькі
аб'ём працы яна надзела на працягу першых раўндах было практычна
зліць яе.

Было ясна, што гэта збіралася быць побач, and it was with Varley securing the title by a very, вельмі блізка 58-57 моманту прыняцця рашэння.
