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

The fight fans are definitely in for an outstanding show between Dulorme and Ugas come Augustus. 26.”

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.”

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.

BROOKLYN (Jan. 15, 2017) – The No. 1 en Geen. 2-ranked super middleweights in the world met in a unification to determine the world’s best 168-pound fighter Saterdag op Showtime. After two knockdowns and 12 intense, back-and-forth rounds, the distinction as the world’s best super middleweight is still up for grabs.
WBC champion Badou Jack (20-1-3, 12 Uitklophoue) and IBF titlist James DeGale (23-1-1, 14 Uitklophoue) fought to a 12-round majority draw in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in front of 10,128 by Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The bout was scored 114-112 (DeGale) en 113-113 twee keer, and the only clear winner was the sport of boxing and its fans.
Britain’s DeGale, making the third defense of his IBF belt, started the drama by flooring Jack with a jab with 30 sekondes links in die eerste ronde. But it was back and forth from there in a highly skilled, closely contested battle between the consensus best in the weight class and in the eighth unification bout in division history.
Jack, making his third title defense, was more effective on the inside and more active, gooi 745 total punches vs. DeGale’s 617.
The pivotal moment in the fight occurred when Jack floored DeGale for the first time in his career with a left-right combo punch midway through the 12ste en finale ronde. Without the 10-8 ronde, DeGale would have won a unanimous decision.
“I thought I won the fight. I finished stronger,” Jack said. “His knockdown was a flash knockdown. I won the fight. He was doing a lot of running. He was throwing a lot of shit at my guard.
“Let’s do it again at light heavyweight. It’s time to move to light heavyweight.”
DeGale countered: “I’ve got huge respect for this man, but I thought I won that. I landed the cleanest shots. Let’s do it again. Let’s do it again in London.
“He hit me (in die 12ste), but I was more off balance. Ek respekteer hom. He’s a good, alles rondom vegter. Let’s go again.”
Undefeated 130-pound Floyd Mayweather protégé Gervonta Davis (17-0, 16 Uitklophoue) dethroned defending IBF Junior Lightweight World Champion Jose Pedraza (22-1, 12 Uitklophoue) with an impressive seventh round TKO (2:36) in the opening bout of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.
Davis was supremely accurate from the opening bell, landing an astounding 48 persent van sy krag stoot en 40 percent of his total shots. Davis won his first title at just 22 jaar oud, similar to his mentor Mayweather, who picked up his first belt in the same weight class when he was 21.
Pedraza was making the third defense of his belt, but didn’t come out with his traditional “Sniper” game plan of fighting at range and picking apart his opponent. Davis gained confidence as he connected on the inside, landing at an impressive clip and preventing his Puerto Rican opponent from landing with effective lateral and head movement.
The Baltimore native hurt Pedraza with a huge left hook to the body in the opening moments of the sixth round, forcing Pedraza to guard his right side while eating repeated combinations with no answer for the onslaught. Davis landed more than 50 percent of his power shots in the sixth and Pedraza never really recovered. He was floored in the seventh round by a big right hook, falling to the canvas for the first time in his career. Pedraza got up, but referee Ricky Gonzalez sensed Pedraza was defeated and immediately halted the contest.
“I’ve had experience, I was telling you all that and you didn’t believe it,"Het Davis, who became the youngest reigning world titlist. “I did the hard work, and us coming out on top, it means a lot. Having a great boxer and promoter backing me feels great.
“In this camp, I studied ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd, not ‘Money.’ I learned to stay composed. Hy het my met 'n paar goeie skote. I took it and I came back out. That’s how you show you’re a real dude.
“I felt that he was laying down. I caught him one time in the body and he backed up. My team told me to go back to the body. My team told me to stay under control and go back to the body.”
Said Mayweather: “For this training camp, I didn’t want to be around him. I didn’t want to talk to him. I wanted him to focus so he could go out and be right. Is this the future of boxing? Abso-f***-lutely.”
Pedraza admitted he made a fundamental error in fighting Davis’ game.
“The strategy was to fight him from a distance, but it didn’t work out that way,” Pedraza said. “In spurts I did do it, but in the end I was trying to give too much pressure and that didn’t work.
“There was a moment there when I adjusted to the game plan that I wanted, but I kept trying to fight with him and it didn’t work.
“It’s no excuse, but I was at 135 pounds and coming down to accept this fight maybe wasn’t the right move.”
Amanda Serrano (31-1-1, 23 Uitklophoue) capitalized on the opportunity to fight in the first women’s world title fight on English-language national television in nearly a decade, with a dominating performance in victory. Serrano defended her WBO Junior Featherweight World Championship over former two-division world champion Yazmin Rivas (35-10-1, 10 Uitklophoue) via 'n eenparige besluit. Die beoordelaars behaal die bout 97-97, 98-92, 99-91.
Serrano was the busier fighter from the opening bell, and landed nearly the double amount of the punches as her opponent – 206 in vergelyking met 107 – while connecting on an impressive 41 percent of her power punches.
“We knew she was going to come to fight,” Serrano said. “She’s a Mexican fighter who’s very tough and experienced. I had to show her my power and my skills. I was glad to get 10-rounds in and I hope the fans enjoyed the fight.
“We wanted the knockout, but I was ready for 10-rounds. People who think I’m just a brawler saw that I’m a great boxer today. We picked a tough opponent because we wanted to showcase that I can beat good fighters and take a punch if I have to. I can do everything in the ring. We wanted the toughest fighter out there and she came to fight.
“It was a great night for women’s boxing and I hope it keeps getting bigger and bigger. Ons wil die beste. My goal is to drop to 118 pounds and win a title in my fifth division. I want to fight other champions. My goal is to be the first Puerto Rican to hold world titles in five weight classes.”
Rivas disagreed with the decision.
“It was an excellent fight. I followed all of the instructions from my corner and I believe that I won,” Rivas said. “I think the last round was very close, but I think I did well in all the rounds.
“I knew everything was against me and to win I had to knock her out. Unfortunately it didn’t happen today. I believe that after this fight, women will have more opportunities to show their skills on television.”
In an exciting matchup of undefeated middleweights that saw multiple knockdowns and swings of momentum, Immanuel Aleem (17-0-1, 10 Uitklophoue) defeated previously unbeaten Ievgen Khytrov (14-1, 12 Uitklophoue) by sixth-round TKO.
Aleem struck first with a massive overhand right that staggered Khytrov and left him wide-eyed and susceptible to punishment. Aleem pushed forward and continued to land punches, but the Ukrainian was able to stay on his feet to survive the round and return to his corner.
Khytrov recovered brilliantly to win the second round on all three judges’ scorecards, insluitend 10-8 in the eyes of one judge. The third round saw an early candidate for Round of the Year in which Aleem dropped Khytrov hard with a strong left hook that put Khytrov down for the first time in his career. Khytrov continued to show incredible resolve as he was able stay on his feet and blast Aleem with a late shot that nearly put Aleem out.
The back-and-forth continued with Khytrov seemingly beginning to take control of the bout until the sixth round when Aleem landed a series of overhand right hands that put Khytrov down again. Khytrov beat the count but Aleem continued to push forward and battered a defenseless Khytrov until referee Eddie Claudio halted the bout 1:20 into round six. Aleem landed 50 percent of his power punches in the bout that was scheduled for 10-rounds.
The opening bout of the telecast saw former title challenger Thomas Dulorme (24-2, 16 Uitklophoue) earn a sixth-round TKO victory over Brian Jones (13-7, 7 Uitklophoue) in their welterweight contest. In his first bout since signing with Mayweather Promotions, the Puerto Rican-fighter dominated and controlled the fight by landing 46 persent van sy krag stoot.
Big overhand rights and uppercuts did most of the damage early for Dulorme as he staggered Jones in a dominant third round. Dulorme began to work the body shots in as he wore Jones down but missed low repeatedly in round five and had a point deducted from him by referee Shada Murdaugh. Dulorme was able to recover in the next round and used a strong flurry to force the referee to intervene and stop the fight at 1:49 of round six.

Hier is wat die vegters te sê gehad het Woensdag:
JACK Badou
“I’m just trying to stay positive and enjoy this moment. I wish that the fight was môre nag. But we’re showing patience and bracing for the opportunity.
“This is the biggest fight of my career and I’m ready to take it to the next level. I have the experience to be on this stage and I’m ready to show that I’m one of the best in the sport.
“I’ve seen DeGale fight a few times. His last couple of fights I don’t think we’ve seen the best of him. I want the best James DeGale to show up on fight night. There won’t be any excuses on fight night.
“I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m pretty sure he’s in the best shape of his life too. So let’s see who is the best.
“I’m going in there to break him down. I’m going to be the better fighter. If I get an opportunity to land something that can change the fight, I’m going to take my chance.
“This has been one of the best training camps of my career. My nutrition is better than it’s ever been and I have positive people around me.
“I believe I can knock anybody out who gets in the ring with me. If you don’t believe that in yourself, then you’re in the wrong sport. I’m not expecting an easy fight, but I’ll do whatever it takes to win.
“My trainer Lou Del Valle is the reason that I’ve improved so much. I brought him back in after my loss and he’s helped get me to where I am right now.
“There is no doubt we’ll know who the best super middleweight in the world is after Saterdag nag. "
JAMES DEGALE
“I just flew to New York Maandag after a brilliant camp. I’ve been training well and sparring hard. I’ve had some great work on the track and I’ve ran a lot of miles. Ek is in 'n fantastiese vorm.
“This fight has a different feel. I feel like I’m in a big fight. I feel like I’m on a different level of fitness for this one. Mind, body and soul. Alles is groot.
“I’m mentally prepared. Badou Jack is an extremely good fighter. He’s a tough opponent. He gets better every single fight. The way I’m feeling right now, Badou Jack shouldn’t beat me. I’m focused on fighting my very best.
“I’ve sacrificed a lot to put myself in this position and to make sure this was a great camp. Now the time is here.
“To have a media day in Brooklyn is great. I’m in a fantastic position in my life and career. I’m more comfortable than I was years ago. Back in the day I wouldn’t know what to say. I’m a man now and I’m ready to reach my destiny.
“Movement, speed and angles are my keys. If I’m focused and take no rounds off, that should do it. It will do it. Anything can happen in boxing, but I’m too prepared for this.
“I look at Badou Jack, and even though he’s been getting better, I think I’m a much better fighter. He’s very high quality and I have to be on my game. Dit gaan 'n groot stryd wees, but I will be victorious.
“My loss to George Groves was a blessing in disguise. If that didn’t happen to me, I don’t know where I would be in my career. I was too big for my boots back then. I thought I was the golden boy and I was humbled. I had to rebuild and I came back.”
Jose Pedraza
“I let [Gervonta] Davis do the talking. I like when people talk like that, because I get to shut them up on the night of the fight. He’s a Floyd Mayweather imitation. Just like all imitations, it’s not as good as the real one.
“I’m very happy to be here representing Puerto Rico in New York City with another Puerto Rican champion in Amanda Serrano. She’s a four-time champion who is very accomplished and it’s an honor to be on this card with her.
“I feel ready to fight. I’m anxious to get in the ring. Ek kan nie wag vir Saterdag night and to show the whole world what I’m made of.
“I have the advantage in experience and in reach and height. He’s going to try to bring pressure but I’ll be ready for it.
“Not only do I have more pro experience, but more amateur experience as well. All of these years of being on the big stage is going to help me in the fight.
“I don’t think I’m underrated. People know my quality, which is why people avoid fighting me. I believe I’m the best fighter at 130-pounds.
“I’m ready for any type of fight. Die vraag is, will Davis be ready? If Davis gets tired, he’s going to have trouble in the late rounds.”
GERVONTA DAVIS
“I feel great right now. I’m in tip-top shape. I had the best sparring available and everything went smoothly. I’m ready to go to work Januarie 14.
“We know that Pedraza is a world champion who comes in undefeated. He does a lot of good things in the ring but we’ll be ready for them come fight night.
“It feels good to be on this stage. I feel ready to headline my own card. I’m ready to do my own thing and that comes with winning this world title.
“I haven’t watched too much of him, but my team is prepared. He doesn’t have anything I haven’t seen before. We just have to execute the game plan when the bell rings.”
YAZMIN RIVAS
“I know that I’m up against a girl who is a heavy hitter and can punch hard. I’ve been training extremely hard to prepare for this fight because I know I’m facing a dangerous fighter. I just need to maintain my weight up until fight night.
“I’ve trained with a lot of southpaws to prepare for Serrano’s style. It’s only the second time I’ve faced a southpaw. I come in with a game plan, but once you step in that ring, I know that anything can happen.
“I’m a veteran and I have the experience. Serrano will have to overcome my advantage there.
“I’m excited to be fighting in the U.S. and I know that this is a huge opportunity. Fighting on television is something I have to take advantage of. Na hierdie stryd, people will really see what female boxing is all about.
“I’m very motivated and excited that I have the chance to fight in Brooklyn in the best city in the U.S. for boxing. I’m going to come to fight. I won’t back down and we will be in the middle of the ring exchanging.”
IEVGEN KHYTROV
“I’ve seen Aleem fight and he’s nothing special. He’s very fast. He does everything very quickly. But he can be hit. He has a little bit of power, but I can hit him.
“I’m going to take advantage of his mistakes. I’m ready for this fight and I’m going for the knockout. This isn’t going to be a long fight. I think I will knock him out in five or six rounds.
“I’m an aggressive fighter. I want to brawl. I want to throw a lot of punches. I’m happy if I can throw 100 punches in a round. Nobody can take that kind of punishment and it helps me get my opponent out of there.
“I’m happy to be fighting in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. It’s very important to my career. After this fight I am going to get big steps up and big names. I’m going to show what I can do Saterdag.
“I want to fight for a real world title. I’m ready for it and I just want to face good opponents and challenge myself.”
IMMANUWEL ALEEM
“This has been a great training camp. I have George Peterson in my corner and he made Paul Williams a three-time champion. He’s putting me through the same regimen that made him one of the most feared fighters in the sport.
"Ek weet nie te veel oor my opponent weet. We have a game plan based around him being some type of bull, but my trainer is the one analyzing that, and then we go from there.
“I bring the total package into the ring. Daar is niks wat ek nie kan doen nie. I can box and I can brawl. Die belangrikste, I can make adjustments during a fight.
“A win here will really stamp who I am in this sport. We’re leading to become a world champion. I’m not a regular fighter in there. I can beat these top guys.”
JULIAN SOSA
“I can honestly say that this is one of the best training camps that I’ve had. I’m both nervous and excited. I’m nervous because I’ve never had a training camp like this and I’m excited to see how I feel in the ring.
“I’ve seen a few tapes of my opponent. He’s a very aggressive fighter who throws a lot of right hands. I have to prepare myself for that. If he wants to start early or take his time, I’m ready for anything.
“I’m very confident heading into this fight. I believe that I will put on a great performance and possibly the best of my career.
“I’m very thankful to be fighting at home in Brooklyn and I’m humbled to have the opportunity to perform at Barclays Center once again. There’s no better feeling than having your friends and family cheering you on.
