Informe: Gianluca Di Caro
En general, és o bé una Divendres o Dissabte la nit que em poso la meva dosi habitual
de l'acció pugilística, aquesta setmana, encara que era una mica diferent ja que vaig fer
el viatge des de Londres fins a Leeds diumenge demà, in order to catch the latest offering from former Irish Champion, promotor convertit, Llegeix Murtagh.
Tenint en compte que era un Diumenge tarda / espectacle de la nit, Estava poderosament
sorprès, o és que impressiona, que quan vaig arribar al lloc, a good couple of hours before the advertised start time, it was already more or less full to capacity.
He de dir que els fans de Leeds realment saben com divertir-, la
atmosfera al Pryzm Discoteca era elèctric, so no surprise that when the highly entertaining MC, Sr. De Tony Dean, 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.
Encapçalant el show va ser el favorit local Sam Smith, who was making her pro debut, en contra de Letònia Jekaterina Lecko.
Des de la sortida tant a les nenes, a prendre el centre del ring, 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, abans de disparar a terme un cop de dreta, which caught the Latvian flush.
Smith va tancar de nou i anar a per totes amb un gran xut amb la dreta al cos i una esquerra
al capdavant, Fecko intentar mantenir-se ferm però Smith va arribar fins i tot
forta forçant l'esquena letó cap a les cordes.
Inicialment Fecko usar la seva jab amb gran efecte per mantenir a ratlla Smith, però
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.
Smith es va traslladar directament a matar, llançant una multitud de peixos grossos,
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, contra Elvis Rozembergs de Letònia, en sis rounds.
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, un ex Anglès Amateur Internacional, 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 és joc encara, clearly believing that attack is the best form of defense the Latvian came straight back with a series of off target looping right hands, presentant cada vegada deCastro amb un objectiu clar -Rozembergs cos - a posat les seves mires en, que per descomptat ho va fer, 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.
El letó estava clarament en perill, instantly referee Jimmy Byrne stopped the fight and called the ringside doctor and paramedics into the ring.
Després d'uns minuts Rozembergs va ser ajudat a posar-se dret i mentre ho feia
va rebre un calorós aplaudiment del públic agraït.
Abans de deCastro-Rozembergs va ser un altre debut professional, aquesta vegada
Middlesborough welter Chris Wood, contra Edgar Milevics.
Milevics no ho va fer just res millor que qualsevol Lecko o Rozembergs, in fact the Latvian lad was sent to the deck in the first twenty seconds,
següent pitcheo Fusta un gran xut amb la dreta a les costelles.
Milevics va fer el recompte, 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.
En aproximadament la segona marca de cinquanta succeir l'inevitable, 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.
Suport a les tres baralles professionals, were a number of European Boxing Federation (EBF) combats sancionats.
La principal, per al Campionat Internacional de pes gall EBF, 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.
Les tres primeres rondes Cortis van jugar el joc d'espera, l'esperança que tot
acció de la noia Varley seria perforar a si mateixa fora.
La quarta ronda va ser molt més semblant assumpte, with Cortis electing to take the fight to Varley, inicialment la noia maltès estava aterrant uns quants trets, 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.
Sobre els trenta marca d'un minut que estava Cortis a atacar de nou, utilizing her jab to great effect to set Varley up for a combination or two, until the final ten seconds or so, que era un dit del peu pur als peus Battle Royale.
Cortis controla la major part de les últimes dues rondes, amb alguns
bella boxa, Varley encara va donar una gran compte de si mateixa, només el
quantitat de treball que s'havia posat en durant les primeres rondes tenia virtualment
seva drenat.
Estava clar que anava a estar a prop, and it was with Varley securing the title by a very, molt a prop 58-57 decisió dels punts.
