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

MANCHESTER, Conn. (March 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) United States (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 kuti 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 (manenjala) Jackie Kallen ndipo (kulimbikitsa) 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, yolemba 45-13 ankachita masewera mbiri, 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, pompano, 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 chindapusa Pakuti mankhwalawa Ntchito, Koma UFC Kuwala Heavyweight Champ Komabe zikuoneka kuti Kupeza Special Chithandizo mu fodya kumuyalutsa

Kusinthidwa 1/19/2015 ndi zonse kuyankhulana kanema:

By: Wolemera Bergeron

Pakuti obwerawa masewera a karati mafani chidwi ndi kutsutsana ozungulira Jon Jones ndi mwangozi mayeso kuti snagged iye mu fodya kumuyalutsa, “The Kucheza” si ndi sewero lanthabwala momwe mulinso James Franco ndi Seti Rogen.

Pamwambapa kopanira limasonyeza chabe snippets wa utumiki Fox Sports 1 kukhala chotsika gawo ozungulira zotsatira za December 4 “kuchokera mpikisano” chiyeso ambiri MMA mafani padziko lonse tsopano kwambiri bwino. Anthu pa dziko osiyana amene sanali kumva wabwino, mayeso anasonyeza Jones anali osokoneza bongo metabolites mu dongosolo lake.

Usikuuno, Jones kuonekeratu ndi nthawi yaitali “kwa Yesu” mphindi kutsogolo kwa makamera, koma mmalo Barbara Walters kufunsa mafunso, ndi Charissa Thompson. The Jones Interview is slated for an 11PM EST time slot, yaitali pambuyo pa ana aang'ono amene kuyang'ana kwa iye kuti akagone. Kuti mudziwe zambiri zimene lidzadzala, onani izi chithunzithunzi adafuthula ndi Fox pasadakhale.

Sizinanditengere nthawi yaitali pambuyo zokhudza HIV mayeso surfaced kwa Scarface nthabwala , memes ndi parodies kuyamba kufalitsidwa. 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 pulasitala konse kudutsa Twitterverse about Jones. Making vutolo ndi ikusimba kuti UFC Kuwala Heavyweight Ngwazi anakhala yekha 24 maola kothandizidwa matenda aubongo, koma anthu pa Twitter kamodzinso anapeza ochepa njira poke kusangalala pa chitukuko komanso:

Amene akulonjeza chitukuko kutuluka vuto lonse ndi kuti UFC potsiriza anapita ndi levied ena zochepa chilango Jones. Ngakhale izo zikuwoneka tsiku mochedwa ndi ochepa madola zikwi yochepa, Kukwezeleza kugunda awo chithunzi mnyamata ndi $25,000 zabwino ndi anapereka mawu:

"Jones anayesedwa zabwino kwa mankhwalawa pamene anali kunja kwa mpikisano mankhwala mayeso ochitidwa ndi Nevada maseŵera Commission pa Dec. 4, 2014. The $25,000 adzakhala anapereka kwa chinthu nkhanza kupewa pulogalamu.

The UFC anabwera zimenezi pambuyo kupenda maumboni nkhani, ndipo atalandira chitsimikiziro ku Nevada maseŵera Commission kuti Jones anadutsa onse amafunika mankhwala mayesero otsatirawa ake bout pa UFC 182 pa Jan. 3."

Kodi UFC ingokumbukirani ali ndi machitidwe imafunika awo onse anadwala othamanga kutsatira? Ndi funso lophweka, koma complicating nkhani ndi mfundo yakuti Nevada maseŵera Commission mwaukadaulo aphwanya awo malire ngakhale akugonjera Jones pa chiyeso chinachake kuti si amene yoletsedwa ku kunja kwa mpikisano chilengedwe. 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.

A machitidwe kuphwanya ankaoneka ngati lotseguka ndi chitsekere mlandu kwambiri akatswiri, koma kupanga chilango zambiri mwina kupereka Jones ndi zimene mungachite kuti akutsutsa yabwino. Onse anali kuchita ndi amatchula za ku masewera ntchito ponena za mayeso kokha monga “utsogoleri woyang'anira.” Kupanga zabwino mu chopereka zikuoneka ngati njira kuteteza malamulo vuto ndi Jones.

Komabe, mosasamala chimene mbali m'magazini ino muli pa, chonsecho nkhani chokhudzana ndi kukhulupirira woipa kukondera kukuonetsedwa UFC kwa Jones. Zimakhala zosavuta kulingalira munthu amene amamenya pa UFC a kuyambirira makadi chotenga nthawi yomweyo kunja kwa gulu ngati wagwidwa ali yemweyo vuto. Komabe, Jones ndi mbama pa dzanja ndi kochepa zabwino kwenikweni m'maziika matamando kwa kukalankhula nkhani ngati ngwazi iye. He even gets to go on national television and explain why he “losokonezeka.”

Ngakhale kuti zambiri zokhudza UFC omenyana amene anayesedwa zabwino kwa mphika zisakuyenda kumatanthauza chosiyana nkhani za mu mpikisano mayesero, Dana White sanabwere kuchokera mu iliyonse ya nthawi kulankhula za mmene anthu omenyera thandizo. Iye sizigwirizana aliyense mafunso aliyense wa anthu omenyera akuluakulu Intaneti ya UFC ali Mipikisano miliyoni dola wailesi nawo.

Ena Jones mafani anganene kuti ambiri harsher chilango dished kwa chamba Intaneti anali milandu kubwereza olakwa. N'zoona, ichi ndi chinthu choyamba kukhumudwa chifukwa Jones pankhani mankhwala kuyezetsa. Komabe, ifenso sangathe amanyalanyaza mfundo yakuti iye wokutidwa ake Bentley kuzungulira telefoni mzati, mumapezera ndi kuyendetsa moledzera, zikwi zingapo madola ndalama ndi zilango (kuphatikizapo $7,000 m'malo mtengo) ndi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi laisensi kuyimitsidwa ake zochita pa mmawa wa May 19, 2012. Panalibe boma chilango ndi UFC kwa Koma kupasula. Iye ankaloledwa kuteteza ake udindo mu September wa chaka chomwecho.

N'zovuta kulingalira ngakhale yabwino othamanga mwa wina masewera kupeza yemweyo mankhwala ndi mabwana. Taganizirani za Diego Maradona, arguably the best soccer player ever. Iye anaimitsa kaye kuchokera kwa masewera 15 miyezi 1991 pambuyo kulephera mankhwala mayeso chifukwa mankhwalawa. Back mu 2007, Martina Hingis anayesedwa zabwino kwa yemweyo metabolites opezeka Jones, koma iye magulu anali pansipa zovomerezeka mlingo mu United States asilikali a mankhwala mosamala zedi protocol. The International Federation tenisa akadali inaimitsidwa wake kwa zaka ziwiri. Awa awiri masewera pamene ananena cholinga kupweteka otsutsana kuti apambane. MMA ndi osiyana nyama, ndiponso kuphunzitsa omenyana akhoza nthaŵi zambiri m'mtima.

Ngakhale “kuchokera mpikisano” simaphatikiza boma nkhondo inayake wosanganiza asilikali wojambula linaperekedwa mpikisano, ndi nthawi imene chachikulu sparring zingachitike. Ngakhale ochepa anganene fodya ndi ntchito mankhwala opatsa mphamvu, pali chifukwa mawu akuti “hopped pa mankhwalawais so common. Ngati Jon Jones anali mchikakamizo cha mankhwala pa kuphunzitsidwa magawo kumene sparring zinachitika, akanatha kudzikweza ndi / kapena sparring naye pangozi yaikulu. Not to mention the damage a long-term cocaine habit can do to a person. Ngakhale amalamula kuti iye si bongo, ndicho wamba Luther anthu amene kwambiri mankhwala mavuto.

Nthawi zambiri, anthu amene ali ngati Jones sindingakhoze basi bwino kutchuka ndi chisamaliro chimene chimabwera ndi stardom. Iwo tsopano tiwerenge maganizo numbing zinthu za malamulo ndi oletsedwa zosiyanasiyana. Ndi zovuta kumvetsa chifukwa Jones ali nkhani, koma pa nthawi yomweyo ndi zonse zofunikira kwambiri kukana kupereka iye njira zothetsera.

Ngakhale kuposa ambiri Joe amene n'kukumana mankhwala osokoneza bongo, munthu ngati Jones mosavuta kupereka kukhala ndi khalidwe loipa, ndipo ali ndi zifukwa kubisa izo kwa anthu wamba. Izi zikutanthauza chizindikiro cha bongo–ntchito pamene yekha–akanakhoza conceivably angabisale ndi Jones kwa nthawi yaitali.

Kupereka kochepa chilango, kumachita ngati si vuto lalikulu, ndi kulola kuti apite pa mbiri kuti mwalamulo kukana ali vuto lililonse ndi mankhwala osokoneza bongo angakhale kwambiri chimawononga ake kuchira. Makamaka ngati ndithu Kodi ndi vuto kuti iye akuyesera molimba kupewa kuvomera.

Zikachitika gawo lonse ili nkhani, Komabe, ndi uthenga anatumiza mwa vumbulutso kuti palibe zovuta ulamuliro loletsa mankhwalawa ntchito mu mpikisano, osachepera kukafika ku Nevada maseŵera Commission za. Ine ndikukayika ambiri wosanganiza asilikali ojambula zithunzi kapena boxers ankadziwa kuti izi zisanachitike nkhani yofunika. Tsopano iwo, ndi zimene analenga kwambiri vuto lalikulu.

Omenyana kawirikawiri amachokera ku nkhanza zosiyanasiyana, ndi m'malo perpetuating khalidwe kuti amatsogolera kundende, iwo kwa nkhondo kuzemba mankhwala ndi upandu. Chochitikachi momveka bwino kuti aliyense womenya amene akana kugona ndi mankhwalawa kale kuti iye tsopano salangidwa kuchita izo pa akufunira, kamodzi kapena kawiri, kapena pamene iwo akumenyana. Angati omenyana adzakhala kudumpha mmbuyo mu wakale kamodzi afika m'mphepete mwa phompho?

Kodi miyoyo yambiri akhoza zingakhale awonongeke, angati zitsanzo idzaululidwa monga Aphunzitsi, ndi angati ntchito adzawononga asiya msewu chifukwa omenyana tsopano mukudziwa mtima kuti angachite mankhwala osokoneza bongo osiyanasiyana malingana ngati izo si wapezeka mu waung'onowo “mu mpikisano” zenera? Sitidzadziŵa, chifukwa ngati yaima sitingadziwe. Ife sitimayenera kudziwa. Choncho mliri amakhala kosatha chobisika, amene ali kumene mankhwala ntchito ndi nkhanza festers ndi ukunka ponseponse ndi oopsa kwa wosuta ndi anthu ena kapena wake.

Kaya Jones ndi bongo kapena ayi zilibe. Mfundo ndi, anapanga kusasankha bwino kuti ambirimbiri ozimitsa akanakhoza kupanga ngati kuika chimodzimodzi udindo. Sometimes it just takes one poor decision to start a downward spiral that only ends in tragedy. Kuchitira uyu mosiyana chifukwa iye akhoza kulowa mu khola ndi kuponyera pansi ndi khama pa magawano ndi Chinsinsi cha tsoka.

Ngakhale ndi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi kuyimitsidwa ku masewera, chinthu china zizichitidwa ndi UFC kutumiza osiyana ndi zofunika kwambiri uthenga. The UFC ayenera awo omenyana kudziwa zimenezi si bwino, sadzalekerera, ndipo sayenera mobwerezabwereza wina awo rositala. Kampani sayenera awo omenyana kuganiza kuti apamwamba mlingo wa kutchuka ndi udindo amapezera mu masewera zikutanthauza kwambiri vuto khalidwe angathe salangidwa.

Wonsewu yakuti stardom kapena masewera prowess agwirizanitsa zapadera mankhwala n'zimene amapereka NFL ambiri mutu chaka chilichonse ndipo amaika ambiri otchuka kumayambiriro manda. Omenyana akuyenera kuonedwa kuti ndi wapamwamba, ndipo uthenga wabwino. kutumiza imodzi yosonyeza ndi bwino kupewa zoledzeretsa kapena zosokoneza ubongo ndi vuto khalidwe ngati mukufuna kukhala bwino kuphana masewera. Ngozi ndiponso zolakwa n'chiyani yabwino ya anthu amene kwambiri khalidwe, koma timeneti molehills angakhale mapiri pamene atapanda kusintha.

Ine kwenikweni kuona UFC amaluma chipolopolo ndi kubweretsa bungwe ngati World Anti-Doping Agency kuchita ngati mwachisawawa mankhwala kuyezetsa kale kuti adzatero anthu onsewo omenyana awo rositala kuti. Kuti chiyesedwe pazikhalanso mwachisawawa mayesero kwa oletsedwa msewu mankhwala kuwonjezera Oyenda Pansi. Ngati gulu mkuwa kwenikweni anasamalira kwambiri za omenyana kuposa ndalama zawo pansi mizere, iwo ayenera kudziwa kuchuluka kwa antchito awo alibe vuto ndi chabe amafunika “thandizeni.”
