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

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Mas 23, 2020) – Like most professional boxers, unbeaten super lightweight prospect“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 Ko) 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) Etazini (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 to 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 (manadjè) Jackie Kallen ak (pwomotè) 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, konpile yon 45-13 dosye amatè, 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, kounye a, 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 peye amann pou Kokayin Itilize, Men, ch Limyè lour Champ toujou sanble yo dwe resevwa espesyal Tretman nan Eskandal Kokayin

MIZAJOU 1/19/2015 ak videyo entèvyou plen:

Pa: Rich Bergeron

Pou Melanj fanatik Martial Arts enthralled pa konfli ki antoure Jon Jones ak tès la aksidan ki snagged l 'nan yon eskandal kokayin, “Entèvyou nan” se pa yon komedyen kòmanse James Franco ak Sèt Rogen.

Clip ki anwo la a montre jis yon koupe kèk nan plen Fox Espò yo 1 sesyon ki antoure rezilta yo nan yon Desanm 4yèm chita-desann “soti nan konpetisyon” tès ki pi fanatik mma atravè mond lan yo kounye a se tout twò abitye ak. Pou moun sou yon planèt diferan ki pa t 'tande nouvèl la, tès la devwale Jones te gen metabolites kokayin nan sistèm l '.

Aswè a, Jones se parèt nan yon-long dire “vini nan Jezi” moman sa a devan kamera yo, men olye pou yo Barbara Walters poze kesyon yo, li nan Charissa Thompson. The Jones Interview is slated for an 11PM EST time slot, lontan apre tout timoun yo ti kras ki gade jiska l 'ale nan kabann. Pou plis detay sou sa ki pral kouvri, tcheke deyò preview sa a mete yo deyò nan Fox an avanse.

Li pa t 'pran trè long apre rapò a nan egzamen an pozitif sifas pou blag yo Scarface , memes ak parody yo kòmanse sikile. 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 rekrepi atravè tout twitterverse la about Jones. Fè zafè pi mal yo rapò ke ch Limyè pwa loud chanpyon an te pase sèlman 24 èdtan nan reyabilitasyon, men jan sou Twitter yon lòt fwa ankò yo te jwenn yon kèk fason yo pike plezi nan ke devlopman kòm byen:

Yon sèl nan pwomèt devlopman ap vini soti nan sitiyasyon an antye se ke ch la finalman te fè mete kanpe ak prelve kèk pinisyon limite sou Jones. Menm si li sanble yon jou an reta ak yon kèk mil dola kout, pwomosyon nan frape ti gason afich yo ak yon $25,000 amann ak bay deklarasyon sa a:

"Jones teste pozitif pou kokayin pandan yon tès soti-of-konpetisyon dwòg ki fèt pa Nevada atletik Komisyon an sou Dec. 4, 2014. Nan $25,000 yo pral bay-yo nan yon pwogram prevansyon abi sibstans.

Ch a rive bò kote desizyon sa a apre yo fin revize enfòmasyon yo ki antoure pwoblèm nan, ak apre li fin resevwa konfimasyon nan Nevada atletik Komisyon an ki Jones te pase tout tès dwòg mande yo bout li nan ch 182 sou Jan. 3."

Èske ch la jis sonje yo gen yon kòd konduit yo mande pou tout atlèt kontra yo yo swiv? Se yon kesyon ki jis, men compliquer zafè se lefèt ke Nevada atletik Komisyon an teknikman depase limit yo lè yo menm yap Jones nan yon tès pou yon bagay ki pa aktyèlman entèdi nan yon soti nan anviwònman konpetisyon. 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.

Yon Kòd vyolasyon konduit te sanble tankou yon ka ouvè ak fèmen pi ekspè, men fè penalite a twò koute chè ta gen anpil chans bay Jones yon avni ki nan dispit amann lan. Tout li ta dwe fè se rele atansyon a komisyon an atletik refere li a tès la tèt li kòm yon “sipèvizyon administratif.” Fè amann la nan yon don sanble tankou yon bon fason yo anpeche okenn defi legal pa Jones.

Toujou, kèlkeswa ki bò nan pwoblèm sa a ou se sou, ensidan an antye smacks nan malsen patipri yo montre nan ch la nan direksyon Jones. Li fasil imajine yon moun ki te batay sou kat preliminè ch la nan ap resevwa imedyatman voye jete soti nan òganizasyon an si kenbe nan sitiyasyon an menm. Men,, Jones se jifle sou ponyèt la ak yon amann minimòm ak literalman bay segondè fè lwanj pou konfwonte pwoblèm nan tankou chanpyon an se li ki. He even gets to go on national television and explain why he “messed yo.”

Menm si pifò ka ki enplike ch konbatan ki teste pozitif pou po nan dènye ane yo gen pou wè ak senaryo konplètman diferan konsènan nan tès konpetisyon, Dana Blan pa t 'soti nan nenpòt nan moun sa ka pale sou ki jan anpil moun konbatan bezwen èd. Li pa t 'liy moute nenpòt entèvyou pou nenpòt ki nan moun ki avyon de gè ak yon gwo rezo ch la gen yon difize kontra milti-milyon dola ak.

Gen kèk fanatik Jones ta ka diskite ke pi fò nan sanksyon yo di ankò dished soti pou itilizatè marigwana yo te ka nan delenkan repete. Akòde, sa a se yon premye ofans pou Jones lè li rive tès dwòg. Men,, nou menm tou nou pa ka inyore lefèt ke li vlope Bentley l 'nan yon poto telefòn, touche yon DUI, yon kèk mil dola nan amann ak penalite (Ki gen ladan $7,000 ranplase poto a) ak sispansyon yon lisans chofè sis mwa a pou aksyon li nan maten an nan Me 19, 2012. Pa te gen okenn pinisyon ofisyèl pa ch la pou aksidan an. Li te pèmèt yo defann tit li nan mwa septanm nan nan menm ane an.

Li difisil yo imajine menm atlèt yo pi byen nan nenpòt lòt espò ap resevwa tretman an menm pa patwon yo. Konsidere ka a nan Diego Maradona, arguably the best soccer player ever. Li te sispann nan espò a pou 15 mwa nan 1991 apre li pap resevwa yon tès dwòg akòz kokayin. Retounen nan 2007, Martina Hingis teste pozitif pou metabolites yo menm yo te jwenn nan Jones, men nivo li yo te aktyèlman pi ba pase nivo a akseptab nan pwotokòl depistaj dwòg militè Etazini an nan. Entènasyonal Tennis Federation a toujou sispann l 'pou de ane. Sa yo se de espò kote objektif la deklare se pa fè mal advèsè ou a nan lòd pou pou genyen. Mma se yon bèt diferan, e menm nan fòmasyon avyon de gè ka souvan jwenn fè mal.

Menm si “soti nan konpetisyon” pa gen ladan batay la ofisyèl se yon patikilye atis melanje masyal peye fè konpetisyon nan, li nan yon peryòd lè yon gwo zafè nan te ka rive bòks. Menm si kèk ta diskite kokayin se yon dwòg ogmante pèfòmans, gen nan yon rezon ki fè fraz la “sote moute sou kokayinis so common. Si Jon Jones te ki anba enfliyans a dwòg la pandan nenpòt sesyon fòmasyon kote bòks ki te fèt, li te kapab mete tèt li ak / oswa patnè bòks l 'an danje grav. Not to mention the damage a long-term cocaine habit can do to a person. Menm si li ensiste li pa yon adikte, sa a, se yon refren komen nan moun ki gen pwoblèm dwòg grav.

Anpil fwa, moun ki nan pozisyon tankou Jones jis pa ka okipe t'ap nonmen non an ak atansyon ki vini ak vedèt. Yo Lè sa a, tounen vin jwenn lide angourdir sibstans nan varyete nan legal ak ilegal. Li fasil yo konprann poukisa Jones a gen pwoblèm sa yo, men an menm tan an li se tout plis ki nesesè pou refize ba l 'tankou yon fason fasil soti.

Menm plis konsa pase mwayèn nan Joe ki fini moute fè eksperyans avèk dwòg, yon moun tankou Jones ka byen fasil peye gen yon abitid reyèlman move, ak li te gen tout rezon yo kache li nan men piblik la an jeneral. Sa vle di Hallmark a nan dejwe–lè l sèvi avèk pandan y ap pou kont li–te kapab limajinè dwe kache pa Jones pou yon peryòd tan ki long.

Ofri moute pinisyon minimòm, aji tankou li pa yon pwoblèm grav, ak pèmèt l 'ale sou dosye a ofisyèlman refize li te gen nenpòt pwoblèm ak kokayin ta ka trè move konsekans sou rekiperasyon li. Sa a se laverite espesyalman si li tout bon gen yon pwoblèm grav ki li te ap sa difisil pou fè pou evite admèt.

Pati nan pi mal la nan senaryo sa a tout antye, menm si, se mesaj la voye pa revelasyon an ke pa gen okenn règ difisil entèdi itilize kokayin soti nan konpetisyon, omwen osi lwen ke se Nevada atletik Komisyon an konsène. Mwen doute anpil atis melanje masyal oswa bokseur te konnen ke anvan ensidan te fè sa a gran tit nouvèl. Koulye a, yo fè, ak ki ta ka kreye yon pwoblèm ki grav anpil.

Konbatan souvan yo vini soti nan orijin piman bouk, ak olye pou yo perpétuer konpòtman an ke se sèlman mennen nan prizon, yo vire batay yo sove soti nan dwòg ak krim. Ensidan sa-a fè li klè nan chak avyon de gè ki ta ka yo te refize patisipe ak kokayin nan tan lontan an ke li oswa li kapab kounye a jwenn lwen ak fè li sou yon kapris, fwa oswa de fwa, oswa nenpòt lè yo pa yo ap goumen. Konbyen nan avyon de gè sa yo pral so dwa tounen nan ki fòm fin vye granmoun yon fwa yo jwenn nan kwen nan falèz la?

Konbyen lavi te kapab potansyèlman dwe detwi, konbyen modèl ap ekspoze kòm frod, ak ki jan anpil karyè pral pèmanans debraye paske konbatan kounye a konnen san yon dout ke yo ka fè dwòg ilegal nan tout kalite osi lontan ke li pa nan detekte nan ke ti “nan konpetisyon” fenèt? Nou pa janm pral konnen, paske kòm li vle di nou pa ka konnen. Nou pa ap sipoze konnen. Nan fason sa a pou tout tan rete bat la kache, ki se kote itilizasyon dwòg ak abi festers ak ap grandi plis rampant ak danjere nan itilizatè a ak moun ki bò kote l 'oswa li.

Si Jones se yon adikte oswa ou pa pa gen pwoblèm. Reyalite a se, li te fè yon move chwa ki avyon de gè inonbrabl te kapab fè si mete nan yon pozisyon nan menm. Sometimes it just takes one poor decision to start a downward spiral that only ends in tragedy. Trete sa a Guy yon fason diferan jis paske li te ka jwenn nan kalòj la epi jete desann ak pi bon an nan divizyon li se yon resèt pou dezas.

Menm si li nan yon sispansyon sis mwa soti nan espò a, yon bagay ki pi ta dwe fè pa ch la a voye yon mesaj diferan ak pi enpòtan. Ch a bezwen avyon de gè yo konnen sa a se pa OK, nou p ap tolere, epi yo pa ta dwe repete pa nenpòt moun ki sou lis yo. Konpayi an pa bezwen avyon de gè yo panse ke nivo a pi wo a t'ap nonmen non ak estati yo touche nan espò a vle di konpòtman an plis boulvèsan yo ka jwenn lwen ak.

Sa a lide antye ki vedèt oswa gwo abilite atletik équivalant nan tretman espesyal se egzakteman sa bay NFL la anpil tèt fè mal chak ane epi mete anpil selebrite nan tonm byen bonè. Konbatan yo sipoze ap fèt nan yon estanda ki pi wo, ak mesaj ki pi bon yo voye se youn ki montre li se pi bon pou fè pou evite tout entoksikan ak konpòtman boulvèsan si ou vle gen siksè nan espò konba. Aksidan ak erè rive pi bon an nan moun ki gen karaktè ki te pi fò, men sa yo molehills ti ka vin chenn montay lè yo kite san limit.

Mwen ta reyèlman renmen wè ch la mòde bal la epi pote nan yon òganizasyon tankou Mondyal Anti-antidopaj Ajans la fè ki kalite tès dwòg o aza yo yon fwa te pwomèt yo ta sijè tout konbatan sou lis yo nan. Tès Sa ta dwe gen ladan tès o aza pou dwòg ilegal nan adisyon a PEDs. Si kwiv nan konpayi reyèlman pran swen plis enfòmasyon sou konbatan yo ki pase pwòp liy finansye anba yo, yo ta vle konnen ki jan anpil nan anplwaye yo pa gen yon pwoblèm ak jis bezwen “ede.”
