Unbeaten Mykquan Williams staying in boxing shape as much as possible under pandemic conditions

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Marto 23, 2020) – Like most professional boxers, unbeaten super lightweight prospect“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 KOs) is making the most out of a challenging situation, as he prepares for his unknown future in boxing.

The coronavirus has shutdown boxing worldwide. Events are suspended indefinitely, boxers restricted in terms of training, and the immediate future remains tenuous at best.

Unable to train at his gym, Manchester ROCS, which is closed due to a Connecticut state order, the 21-year-old Williams is handling this pandemic in a mature manner that belies his young age. No whining, no ‘poor me’ feelings.

”This is a difficult time for everybody, including those of us in boxing,” East Hartford (CT) resident Williams said. “There’s no boxing on TV, nobody can compete, and everybody is isolated. It’s just unfortunate, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Health concerns are and should always be the top priority.”

Williams hasn’t been in action since last October 24th, when he fought to a questionable eighth-round majority draw withTre’Sean Wiggins, in which Williams retained his World Boxing Council (WBC) Usono (USNBC) super lightweight title. Most observers felt that Williams deserved a win by decision.

Since the beginning of 2020, Williams had been training for an expected fight in the first third of the year, and he’s still training to stay in shape, albeit it not the same way as if he had a confirmed fight date.

“I’m still doing some training,” Williams explained. “I need to stay in shape for when the call comes after boxing returns. I’m in decent shape and when I get my next fight date, I won’t have to go from zero to get ready. I want to maintain 50 Al 60 percent shape and then finish off training on schedule for my next fight.”

“I know Mykey has still been running,” Williams’ head trainerPaul Cichon added. “We’re going to be back training soon. I believe everything happens for a reason. Mykey and me had a conference call with (managerJackie Kallen Kaj (Varbanto) Lou DiBella, and we trust that, as soon as possible, Mykey will be back in action.”

Because Williams doesn’t turn 22 until this April 6, in addition to already being a pro boxer for nearly four years, his young boxing career figures to resume quicker and stronger than for many older boxers. Losing six months shouldn’t hinder a prospect like Williams as much as a veteran who may not have nearly as much comparable quality competitive time left in the ring.

“I’m not sure if age is that big an advantage,” Williams countered. “If some fighters were getting burned out because they were fighting a lot, taking time off, whether it’s due to the virus or not, a break may help them come back better and stronger than when they last fought.”

Williams was a five-time national amateur champion, compiling a 45-13 Amatora rekordo, highlighted by three Ringside World titles, in addition to gold medal performances at the National PAL and National Silver Gloves championship.

“I don’t know when boxing will return,” Williams concluded, “but boxing will never die. People will always want to see guys punching each other in the face. Boxing is a sport rich in tradition and, nun, there is still a lot of talent coming up.”

And Mykquan Williams will be right at the head of that next wave when the boxing ban is finally lifted.

Jon Jones Monpunis Por Kokaina Uzo, Sed UFCa Lumo Superpezula #?ampiono #Ankora? #?ajni Esti Akiranta Specialan Trakton en Kokaina Skandalo

UPDATED 1/19/2015 with full interview video:

De: #Ri?a Bergeron

Por #Memkontra?a Militaj Artoj ventumas enthralled de la polemiko #?irka?igi Jon Jones kaj la akcidentan teston kiu snagged li en kokaina skandalo, “La Intervjuo” Ne estas Komedio #?efroli James Franco kaj Seth Rogen.

La supra #tran?eto montras nur kelkajn eretojn de la plenaj Vulpaj Sportoj 1 Sidi-malsupren sesio #?irka?igi la rezultojn de decembro 4a “Ekstere de konkurso” Elprovi ke plejpartoj de MMAaj fervoruloj #?irka? la mondo estas nun #?iu tro konata kun. Por tiuj sur malsama planedo kiu didn’t #a?di la sciigon, La testo rivelis Jones havis kokainon metabolites en lia sistemo.

#?I-nokte, Jones estas aperanta en longa-atendita “Venita al Jesuo” Momento #anta? la fotiloj, Sed #anstata? Barbara Walters demandanta la demandojn, ?i’s Charissa Thompson. The Jones Interview is slated for an 11PM EST time slot, Longe post kiam #?iuj la malgranda trompas kiun rigardo #?is li iri al lito. Por pli da detaloj sur kio estos kovrita, Kontroli #?I tiu #anta?prezento elmetis de Vulpo en #anta?enigo.

?i didn’t prenas tre longe post kiam raportoj de la pozitiva testo #supri?i por la Scarface #?erco , Memes kaj parodioj komenci cirkulanta. Though the situation is far from funny to many folks who are truly disgusted by these developments, it’s really hard not to laugh at some of the stuff #?Miri #?iu trans la Twitterverse about Jones. Faranta aferojn pli malbona estas Raportas ke la UFCa Lumo Superpezula #?ampiono elspezis nur 24 Horoj en rehab, Sed homoj sur Pepi #ankora? foje trovita kelkajn vojojn #en?ovi amuzan #?e tiu evoluado #anka?:

La unu promesplena evoluado eliri de la tuta situacio estas ke la UFC fine #pa?i supre kaj pagigita iun limhavan punon sur Jones. Kvankam ?i #?ajni tago malfrue kaj kelkaj mil dolaroj mallonga, La #anta?enigo frapita ilian #afi?o knabon kun $25,000 Bona kaj eldonis la sekvantan #komunika?o:

??Ones elprovis pozitivan por kokaino dum ekstere-de-konkursa drogo testo farita de Nevado Atleta Komisiono sur Dec. 4, 2014. La $25,000 Estos donacita al substanca fitrakta malhelpa programo.

La UFC venis al #?i tiu decido post revizianta la faktojn #?irka?igi la aferon, Kaj post kiam ricevanta konfirmon de Nevado Atleta Komisiono ke Jones pasis #?iuj postulataj drogaj testoj sekvanta lian vicon #?e UFC 182 Sur Jan. 3.?

Faris la UFC nur memori ilin havas kodon de konduko ili postulas #?iuj ilia kontraktita atletojn sekvi? ?i’s justa demando, Sed komplikanta aferojn estas la fakto ke Nevado Atleta Komisiono teknike overstepped iliaj saltegoj de para submetanta Jones al testo por io kiu ne estas efektive malpermesita en ekstere de konkursa medio. The UFC’s legal bigwigs had to take a step back and figure out how to defend whatever punishment Jones would face in light of the test.

Kodo de konduka malobservo #?ajni kiel turniro kaj fermita kazon al plejpartoj de fakuloj, but making the penalty too costly would likely give Jones an avenue to dispute the fine. All he would have to do is call attention to the athletic commission referring to the test itself as anadministrative oversight.Making the fine into a donation seems like a great way to prevent any legal challenge by Jones.

Ankoraŭ, regardless of which side of this issue you are on, La tuta okazaĵo frapas de nesana trofavoremo montrita de la UFC al Jones. Ĝi estas facile imagi iu kiu bataloj sur preparaj kartoj de la UFC akiranta tuj elĵetita de la organizo se kaptita en la sama situacio. Ankoraŭ, Jones estas slapped sur la pojno kun minimuma monpuno kaj laŭvorte donita altan laŭdon por alfrontanta la aferon kiel la ĉampiono li estas. Li eĉ akiras daŭrigi nacian televidon kaj klarigi kial lin “Fuŝita.”

Eĉ kvankam plejpartoj de kazoj okupanta UFCajn batalantojn kiu elprovis pozitivan por kruĉo en lastatempaj jaroj okupas tute malsamajn scenarojn koncerne al en konkursaj testoj, Dana Blankulo ne eliris en iu ajn de tiuj okazoj parolanta pri kiom tiuj batalantoj devita helpon. He did not line up any interviews for any of those fighters with a major network the UFC has a multi-million dollar broadcasting deal with.

Kelkaj Jones fervoruloj povus argumenti ke plejparto de la pli severaj punoj dished ekstere por marijuana uzantoj estis kazoj de ripetaj kulpuloj. Donita, #Tio ?i estas unua ofendo por Jones kiam ?i venas narkoti elprovadon. Ankoraŭ, Ni #anka? ne povas ignoras la fakton ke li Volvis lia Bentley #?irka? telefona poluso, Gajnanta DUI, Kelkaj mil dolaroj en monpunoj kaj punoj (Inkluzivanta $7,000 #Anstata?igi la poluson) Kaj ses-monata #?oforo’s licenca interrompo por liaj agoj sur la mateno de majo 19, 2012. Estis ne oficiala puno de la UFC por la #kra?o. He was allowed to defend his title in September of the same year.

?i’s malfacile imagi #e? la plej bonajn atletojn en ajna alia sporto akiranta la saman trakton de iliaj estroj. Konsideri la kazon de Diego Maradona, arguably the best soccer player ever. Li estis interrompita de la sporto por 15 Monatoj en 1991 Post kiam malsukcesanta drogan teston pro kokaino. Reen je 2007, Martina Hingis elprovis pozitivan por la sama metabolites trovita en Jones, Sed #?ia niveloj estis efektive sub la akceptebla nivelo en Usono militista’s drogo kribranta protokolon. La Internacia Tenisa Federacio #ankora? interrompis ?in por du jaroj. #?I tiu estas du sportoj kie la deklarita objektivon ne estas dolori vian oponanton por gajni. MMA estas malsama besto, Kaj #e? en trejnanta batalantojn ofte povas akiri dolorita.

#E? tamen “Ekstere de konkurso” Ne inkluzivas la oficiala batalo aparta #memkontra?a milita artisto estas pagita konkurenci je, ?i’s periodo kiam granda interkonsento de disputado povus okazi. Kvankam kelkaj argumentus kokainon estas elfaro pliboniganta drogon, Tie’s kialo la frazo “hopped up on cocaineis so common. If Jon Jones was under the influence of the drug during any training sessions where sparring occurred, he could have put himself and/or his sparring partner in serious danger. Not to mention the damage a long-term cocaine habit can do to a person. Though he insists he’s not an addict, KE’s ofta refreno de homoj kiu havas gravajn drogajn problemojn.

Multaj tempoj, Homoj en pozicioj kiel Jones nur ne povas pritraktas la famon kaj atenton kiu venas kun steleco. Ili tiam turnas atenti numbing substancoj de la #la?le?a kaj #kontra?le?a vario. ?i’s facile kompreni kial Jones estas havanta #?i tiu aferojn, Sed samtempe ?i estas multe pli necesa rifuzi doni lin tia facila vojo ekstere.

#E? pli da tiel ol la mezumo Joe kiu finas supre eksperimentanta kun drogoj, someone like Jones can easily afford to have a really bad habit, and he has every reason to hide it from the general public. This means the hallmark of addictionusing while alone–Kredeble povus esti #ka?i de Jones por longa periodo de tempo.

Proponanta supre minimuman punon, Aganta kiel ?i’s ne grava problemo, Kaj permesanta lin #da?rigi la rekordon oficiale nei lin havas ajnan problemon kun kokaino povus esti ekstreme malutila al lia retrovo. #Tio ?i estas precipe vera se li efektive faras havi gravan problemon ke li’s provanta tiel malfacilan eviti agnoskanta.

La plej malbona parto de #?i tiu tuta scenaro, Tamen, is the message sent by the revelation that there is no hard rule forbidding cocaine use out of competition, at least as far as the Nevada Athletic Commission is concerned. I doubt many mixed martial artists or boxers knew that before this incident made headline news. Now they do, and that could create a very serious problem.

Fighters often come from harsh backgrounds, and instead of perpetuating the behavior that only leads to jail, they turn to fighting to escape from drugs and crime. #?I tiu #okaza?o faroj ?i malbaras al #?iu batalanto kiu eble rifuzus akiri okupita kun kokaino en la pasinta ke li #a? ?i nun povas akiri for kun faranta ?in sur kaprico, Unufoje #a? dufoje, #A? whenever ili ne estas batalantaj. Kiom da de #?i tiu batalantoj saltos #?usta #malanta?o en tiu malnova vivstilo unufoje ili akiras al la rando de la #kruta?o?

Kiom da vivoj potenciale povus esti detruita, Kiom da rolaj modeloj estos malkovrita kiel #fra?do, Kaj kiom da karieroj estos konstante elreligita #?ar batalantoj nun scii sendube ke ili povas fari #kontra?le?a drogojn de #?iuj specoj kiel longa kiel ?i’s ne eltrovita en tiu malgranda “En konkurso” Fenestro? Ni neniam scios, #?Ar kiel ?i staras nin povas’t scias. Ni’re ne supozita scii. KE vojo la #skur?o restas forever #ka?i, Kiu estas kie droga uzo kaj fitrakto festers kaj kreskas pli senbridan kaj #dan?era al la uzanto kaj tiuj #?irka? li #a? ?i.

#?U Jones estas drogulo #a? ne doesn’t afero. La fakto estas, he made a bad choice that countless fighters could make if put in the same position. Sometimes it just takes one poor decision to start a downward spiral that only ends in tragedy. Treating this guy differently just because he can get in the cage and throw down with the best in his division is a recipe for disaster.

#E? se ?i’s ses-monata interrompo de la sporto, Io pli devus esti farita de la UFC sendi malsaman kaj pli grava #mesa?o. La UFC devas iliajn batalantojn scii #tio ?i ne estas BONE, Ne estos tolerita, Kaj ne devus esti ripetita de iu ajn sur ilia roster. La firmao ne devas iliajn batalantojn pensanta ke la pli alta nivelo de famo kaj statuso ili gajnas en la sporto signifas la pli #?eni konduton ili povas akiri for kun.

#?I tiu tuta ideo ke steleco #a? atleta lerteco egaligas al speciala trakto estas #?uste kio donas la NFL tiom multe da kapdoloroj #?iu jaro kaj metas tiom multe da famulojn en fruaj tomboj. Batalantoj estas supozita esti tenita al pli alta normo, Kaj la plej bona #mesa?o sendi estas unu kiu montras ?in estas pli bona eviti #?iuj intoxicants kaj #?eni konduton se vi deziras esti sukcesa en militaj sportoj. akcidentoj kaj eraroj okazas al la plej bona de homoj kiu havas la plej fortan karakteron, but these tiny molehills can become mountain ranges when left unchecked.

I would really like to see the UFC bite the bullet and bring in an organization like the World Anti-Doping Agency to do the kind of random drug testing they once promised they would subject all fighters on their roster to. That testing should include random tests for illegal street drugs in addition to PEDs. If the company brass really cared more about the fighters than their own financial bottom lines, they would want to know how many of their employees don’t have a problem and just needhelp.
