Paul vs. Woodley II titled “Leave No Doubt” will be the main event on SHOWTIME PPV, live from AMALIE Arena in Tampa, פלורידה., ביום שבת, דצמבר 18 (9p ET/6p PT).

Woodley steps in to replace professional boxer and reality TV starTommy Fury, who withdrew from the event due to a medical issue that impacted his training camp. פול נגד. Woodley II is a professional cruiserweight bout scheduled for 8-rounds at a contract weight of 192 קילו.

“When my team woke me up on Friday to tell me Tommy was pulling out, I told them I’m ready to fight anyone on December 18,” said Paul, מי הוא 4-0 as a pro boxer with three knockouts. “Troy, Trey, טרבור, טראוויס. I don’t give a damn who it is. אז, as I predicted Tommy Fumbles and Tyron is there to pick it up, stepping in, and contractually he is getting an extra $500,000 if he knocks me out. First time I outboxed him. This time I’m gonna punish him and leave no doubt.”


באוגוסט 29, in front of a sold-out crowd of 16,000 fans at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, אוהיו, Paul registered a split decision over Woodley. The former UFC champion was Paul’s toughest opponent to date and the first fighter to take boxing’s newest star the distance. השופטים קלעו את המאבק 77-75 for Paul, 77-75 for Woodley and 78-74 for Paul.

In his post-fight comments, Woodley said he thought he won the fight.

הנה מה שהיה למשתתפי מסיבת העיתונאים לומר ביום חמישי:

JAKE PAUL

“When I started boxing, I didn’t think I’d be here this fast. My original goal was to fight Conor McGregor or Floyd Mayweather, because I knew I would have a big enough pay-per-view draw to do those things. Now I want to become world champion. I want to fight and beat Canelo Alvarez. This has been a fast, quick roller coaster ride, but I didn’t expect to be here. I just knew I loved fighting and I knew I was good at it.

“This is an exciting time. I’m bringing it home for Cleveland. We knew that when we teamed up with SHOWTIME, that this would be a huge event. This is turning into a historic moment.

“Tyron Woodley is ‘The Chosen One’, we chose him to get his ass beat. None of his accomplishments matter on Sunday night. I’m sending him into retirement and turning him into a meme. People are going to see all of my skills. People are going to be surprised. I haven’t shown anything yet. I might come out southpaw. זה צד שיוצא.

“It’s going to be another show on Sunday. I’m putting on another masterful performance and a boxing clinic. This guy is going to sleep and getting turned into another meme. Just like his friend Ben Askren. After Sunday, nobody is ever going to talk about Woodley ever again. He’s a speed bump on the road of my career.

“There’s no other fighter that’s 3-0 and taking fights against champions. I want challenges and I want to push myself. I was much more motivated in training camp because I know this is a dangerous opponent. I expect him to come out sharp and I expect this to be a fun one.

“I’m polarizing, I get it. I don’t care what people think. Most people aren’t like that. They’re scared to rub people the wrong way. Some people want to see me lose, but I’m here to stay.

“A fight against Tommy Fury makes sense. That’s a huge fight. It seems to be right in the palm of both of our hands. We do have to go out and perform on Sunday. I want to see how the U.S. crowd receives him. I want to see if he has that star power this whole entire week. He doesn’t have the big pay-per-view numbers that Tyron Woodley has, or even a Ben Askren. Those guys sold tons of pay-per-views. No one has seen a Tommy Fury fight.

“There’s no real respect between us. I’m going to show that winning a UFC championship doesn’t mean anything in the world of boxing.”

TYRON WOODLEY

“I’m almost falling asleep over here listening to this guy. It’s disgusting how much of a clown people have to be to be recognized. He’s got the appearance of being about that action down, but I’m really like that.

“This is the fight game. You can say what you want to say and you can do what you think fighters do. Jake does all the things to build the fight, but we’re really here now. He’s getting hurt on Sunday.

“All the people around him have lied to him. They don’t want to lose their bag. They’re not pushing him. You can come out with that dumb robot, זה לא משנה. You’re getting knocked out.

“I’m just really ready to fight. I don’t have any shenanigans or B.S. I should bring him some wipes to clean himself up when I knock him out on Sunday.

“He hasn’t shown me anything yet. Real recognize real. I don’t worry about what anyone on the outside is saying. I’m worried about bringing that action.

“I’m going crazy on Sunday. בסופו של היום, it’s been a long time coming. I’m thankful for my team that’s supported me but I’m also thankful for everyone who counted me out. When everyone comes against you, it shows how powerful what you’re about to do is.

“I think in general with combat sports, one person does something and people want to replicate it. This is a real fight though. If you look at the way we’re built, this is a real fight. Some people took this lightly and that’s why they came up short against him. We’ve been training since before this fight was even signed.

“All camps have highs and lows. You have to fight through adversity. With me mentally, it was a lot easier when we were having fun. It was passionate and you had people watching your every move and monitoring your every step. I’m just very grateful to all my coaches. לי, this is just a lot of fun. I haven’t had fun in a long time, to be real. I loved this training camp. It was one of my most fun ever.”

AMANDA SERRANO

“I want to thank Jake for putting his faith in me and pushing to get me on this card. This is going to be two champions going at each other and leaving it all in the ring.

“These belts are my babies. It’s going to be very hard for her to beat me and take these back to Mexico. She’s going home empty-handed. I thank Mercado for taking the fight, but she’s not winning.

“I train and fight to be the best in the world. I hope that people can acknowledge that the women are champions as well and that we work as hard as the men. I’m showing everyone that women’s boxing is great too.”

YAMILETH MERCADO

“I’m coming up in weight, but I’m one of the biggest fighters at 122. I’m not worried at all about going up a division for this fight.

“I’m very well prepared and I feel strong. I’m confident that I’m going to win on Sunday and prove that I’m up to the challenge. We’re going to surprise a lot of people.”

DANIEL DUBOIS

“This is my U.S. הבכורה, so I want to look good and win in devastating fashion. I’m a seek and destroy fighter and that’s what I’m bringing again.

“This guy is right for me and I’m ready for the fight. It’s going to be a spectacular debut and I’m going to announce my presence with a lot of power and skill.”

JUISEPPE ANGELO CUSUMANO

“We are both big power punchers and we’re exciting fighters. We like to fight and bang on the inside. There’s going to be a lot of punches thrown for as long as this lasts . That’s what we’re going to come out and do.

“It’s the heavyweight division. It only takes one punch. That’s what people love about this division. I can’t wait to get in the ring on Sunday night.”

אוי BARANCHYK

“I’m excited to be here and fighting on this show. I learned a lot from my last fight. I put in a great training camp so that I can show my new weapons. I just need to take everything from my training camp and bring it into the ring.

“I think Jake Paul is very, very good for boxing. It’s good to have these famous guys join professional boxing because it helps the fighters. It’s good for promoting the sport. I don’t know what will happen in the fight on Sunday night. Jake Paul is young and he’s hungry. But Tyron Woodley is a tough guy. He’s a professional fighter and we will see.”

MONTANA LOVE

“A win is going to put the whole division on notice. They know I’m coming. I’ve worked with plenty of champions and been in plenty of camps. עכשיו, everybody watching is going to see what I’m going to do.

“This fight means everything for my career. I’m introducing myself to the 140-pound division with my fight on Sunday. Beating an ex-champion will definitely put me in a whole new category.

“My city is behind me 100%. They know how I’m coming. We’re training hard and we’re excited for this. All of Jake’s fans are going to be my fans after Sunday.”

“Gervonta Davis came up to my weight. He got a title. Congratulations on that. עכשיו, if he’s ready to keep it or not, that’s on him. But if he does keep it, we want the fight.”

TOMMY FURY

“I’m very happy to be in Cleveland and performing for everyone. Everyone is very familiar with Tyson, and they’re about to learn all about what I bring. I’m coming with my own package and my own game and you’re going to see that on Sunday night.

“If Taylor thinks I’ve overlooked him, he’s dead wrong. I’ve been grueling for eight weeks like I’m fighting for the world titles. Sunday night, I’ll get the job done, and then I can think about what could be next for me.

“Anthony Taylor can’t get off his phone and stop doing autographs. I haven’t been on my phone in five weeks. I’ve been living and training like a demon. I don’t care about fame, and I don’t care about money. All I want is to be a world champion.”

ANTHONY TAYLOR

“I know he’s overlooking me. Tommy is here just to face off with Jake Paul. But I’m here to fight. Don’t look down on me. Just because he beat up six bums, doesn’t mean he’s going to beat me up.

“He’s not going to stop me. He’s fought nobody. I’m not that guy you’re just going to run through. We’re not cut from the same cloth, and he’s not the same as his brother. He’s not ready for me.”

CHARLES CONWELL

“It’s amazing to fight back at home in my city. I’ve had a lot of local support back here throughout the years and there are a lot of people here who haven’t been able to see me fight.

“To have all the support I’ve gotten leading up to fight, I’m just more ready than ever to put on a show and let everyone know what I’m about.”

JUAN CARLOS RUBIO

“It’s true that I haven’t fought anyone on Charles’ level, but I feel strong, I’m well prepared and I’m ready to give a show to the people of Cleveland.

“We’re going to see if he’s ready for the next level of competition. We won’t know until we step in the ring. But I’m definitely going to give it my all and give him a test.”

סטפן אספינוזה, נשיא, ספורט & תכנות אירוע, Showtime Networks Inc.

“SHOWTIME has been in boxing a long time. We have a long history in the sport. But the thing about boxing is that it always has a way of surprising you. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, along comes someone like Jake Paul to upset the apple cart. I’m excited to see the sport innovate, change and evolve.

“I’m very proud of this card. We have some of the best fighters in the world on this card, from world champions to up-and-coming fighters and promising prospects. This card has a bit of everything.

“This card is filled with fighters who didn’t listen when they were told no. No one on this card has been handed anything. They’ve all beaten the odds. I’m proud to have every one of them on this card.

“The great thing about boxing, is that on some level, nothing matters until you get into the ring. To borrow a phrase, ‘boxing don’t lie’. Boxing is the ultimate truth-teller. When Sunday night rolls around, your resume and your following doesn’t matter. For all the hype and hoopla, make no mistake, these are fights. The purest form of competition. The great thing about boxing is, when two competitors enter that ring, each fighter gets a chance to rewrite their own history. It all comes down to that moment of truth on Sunday night.”

כרטיסים החל משעה $25 are still available via RocketMortgageFieldHouse.com.

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Public Square in Cleveland:

JAKE PAUL

“I couldn’t have thought about a moment like this. I couldn’t have dreamt it. That’s why I was just looking around. הייתי כמו, ‘how am I here?’ This is the city that made me and to bring this one home is the perfect crescendo to my boxing career that’s just starting out. Looking around and seeing friends and family, seeing this beautiful city, I’m just having fun. I’m trying to soak it all in because you don’t get moments like this twice in life.

“Tyron said he’s training like he’s fighting Mike Tyson. Floyd Mayweather is training him and you can tell he’s in shape. He’s got the six pack back. He’s looking good. He’s not messing around. This is his biggest fight ever and the whole MMA community is counting on him to represent them and to get the ‘W’. לרוע המזל, that’s not going to happen. And when I beat him, there will be no excuses because he was being trained by Floyd Mayweather. Because Jorge Masvidal said he was going to knock me out. Because he took this camp and had a 14-week camp. He has no excuses.

"אני אוהב את האגרוף. I fell in love with it. There’s something about knocking someone out and cracking someone in the face. My whole life has been a fight. I never got anything handed to me so I feel like I’m at home. I feel like I was put on this earth to fight. And I like challenges. I’m driven by challenges.

“Boxing is a 24-7 עבודה. The training camp – sleep, לאכול, התאוששות, no partying, no distractions – all of that type of stuff makes it the hardest thing I’ve done in my life. יותר, the promotional side of it. I’ve probably done 75 interviews in the past three weeks. It’s non-stop.”

TYRON WOODLEY

“All camps have highs and lows. You have to fight through adversity. With me mentally it was a lot easier when we were having fun. It was passionate and you had people watching your every move and monitoring your every step. I’m just very grateful to all my coaches. לי, this is just a lot of fun. I haven’t had fun in a long time, to be real. I loved this training camp. It was one of my most fun ever.

“I don’t have any issue with Jake Paul. Only issue is he signed the contract. He’s trying his very best to play the mind games. But I’m a man. I don’t play kids’ games.

“There’s a lot of things in MMA you can get away with. In MMA you can make excuses like, ‘Coach, I’ve got to watch out for a kick or get ready for the take takedown.’ So we make all these excuses. None of those excuses are allowed.

“The times I worked with Floyd [Mayweather], he was very vocal. You couldn’t do nothing wrong. And that’s what makes him so great. In MMA we over-do it a lot, but it doesn’t always transition into power. It doesn’t always transition into accuracy. He gave me the foundation of how he beat everyone he did.”

AMANDA SERRANO

“Jake Paul is the main event, but he’s not the main attraction. I am going to make sure I steal the spotlight from him and entice people to enjoy female boxing and to understand that women can fight and put on shows, and showcase that we’re deserving of this opportunity.

“It’s a Puerto Rican champion versus a Mexican champion. That’s enough said. She’s young and hungry and wants my titles, but I’ve worked super hard for those titles and it’s not going to be an easy task to take them away from me.

“I bring excitement, knockout power, skills, and a great chin as well. I’ve been boxing since I was eighteen years old. Boxing is all I have known. I’ve dedicated and sacrificed my whole life to the sport of boxing.

“I fight for the sport of women’s boxing. It’s not for me, it’s for the future girls coming into the sport.”

אוי BARANCHYK

“I’m excited. I’m hungry and I’m ready for the next challenge. He’s never fought anybody like me. He’s never been ten rounds. I’m ready for a long-distance fight.

“Of course he’s going to try to move around a lot and box me. But this is no problem for me. I’ve changed my style a little bit. I will try to show everybody the new Ivan Baranchyk.

“We will see what’s next for me. עכשיו, I just need to fight Montana Love. We will see what happens after that.”

MONTANA LOVE

“There’s a lot of motivation from fighting in my hometown. אני מאוד מתרגש. I’m happy to be in this position. It’s very rare that these kinds of events come to Cleveland. I hope there’s more to come. It’s a dream come true to fight in front of thousands of fans. My friends, המשפחה שלי. I get emotional at times being here and having this opportunity is great.

“I just have to be myself on Sunday night. I’ve been doing this since I was five years old. I just have to pull everything out of my arsenal. Hopefully Ivan pushes me. I think he will push me so that I can show the next level.

“I’m just focused on this fight that’s in front of me. My only goal right now is to be victorious on Sunday night. אחרי זה, we’ll look to do a title eliminator after that and then I’ll fight for a world title.

“I’m expecting Ivan Baranchyk to be wild, אגרסיווי, חזק. With him, it’s not about his skill or anything like that. We expect aggression and wildness.”

DANIEL DUBOIS

“I want to show that I’m all action. אני לא איש של מילים רבות, but when I get in that ring, they’re going to see that I’m the real deal. It’s going to be a devastating performance.

"אני 23, so with that loss I have just gotten stronger. I’ve had to learn to tighten up my game and that I have flaws, so I’ve just been working on that. This is going to be like my debut.

“I’m full of confidence and I’m ready to go right now. I can make this fight as easy as I want it to be in my opinion. I’m the next one coming through. I’m destined to be a world champion, that’s my goal.”

TOMMY FURY

“This is my first fight in the U.S. But I’m used to it, it’s not my first rodeo because since I was a young kid I watched Tyson fight Klitschko and I’ve always been there on fight week and watched how he handled himself on fight week and thought when my time comes, which is now, I’m going to do the exact same thing. So I flew my team out here and we do what Tyson did, and it’s easy work.

“To be a Fury you grow up to be a fighter, and there’s nothing else. It’s fight, מאבק, מאבק. As a kid, you don’t do nothing else. It’s fight, מאבק, מאבק. And that’s all I’ve done my entire life. I’ve been around fighters. Everyone in my family does it and now it’s my time.

“I don’t feel one bit of pressure because there’s only pressure when you try to live up to somebody. I’ve said this time and time again there will never ever be another Tyson Fury. No one will ever come close. I’m only trying to do the best I can do. And as long as I’m being the best version of Tommy Fury, I don’t care about anything else. I’m only trying to do the best that I can do.”

CHARLES CONWELL

“I’m doing this in front of my family and my friends and want to thank everyone for supporting me. It’s going to be a major event.

"[Juan Carlos Rubio] is an undefeated fighter, 18-0. That means 18 have tried and not succeeded. But on Sunday night it’s a whole different story as he’s fighting a whole different type of fighter he’s never experienced before. There are levels to this boxing game and this one is just going to take me to the top.

"כן, I think every fight is a level-up fight at this point in my career. I keep getting to fight on bigger and bigger stages.

“I just want to show the fans what good boxing is and to put on a performance that they can remember me for. Whatever that has to be and if it’s a knockout, I’m going to go out there and do it. I’m going out there and risking everything, just like he is

“The local support is amazing for me. I have a lot of people here supporting me. I’m looking to steal the show, every time. I know there are a lot of great fights on this card, but I’m looking to put on a show.”

“I’m facing a tough Mexican fighter, but I’ll beat her at her own game!"

WBC and WBO Featherweight World Champion Amanda Serrano Defends Her Titles Against Super Bantamweight Champion
Yamileth Mercado Sunday, נִשׂגָב 29 in Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley SHOWTIME PPV® Co-תכונה

NEW YORK – נִשׂגָב 18, 2021 – Puerto Rican star and unified WBC/WBO Featherweight World Champion אמנדה "הדבר האמיתי" סראנו plans to take full advantage of her opportunity on the SHOWTIME PPV event headlined by ג'ייק פול נגד. Tyron Woodley when she faces super bantamweight world champion Yamileth Mercado ביום ראשון, נִשׂגָב 29 from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, אוהיו.

“It means a lot to women’s boxing for me to be in this position to perform on this stage,” said Serrano. “We deserve to be in the spotlight. I’ll perform like I always do and represent for women’s boxing the best way I know how. I’m very excited that they chose me for this event.”

In an event headlined by the renowned content creator and pro boxer Paul, who will be taking on his toughest test to date in the ring against the former UFC champion Woodley, Serrano knows that her style will help her gain fans on this big platform.

“Expect this to be a war, because I always bring the fireworks,” said Serrano. “I have a fan-friendly style and I’m going out there to finish my opponent. That’s what the fans want to see.

“Don’t blink during this one, because even though she’s a tough fighter with a lot of heart, this could be a short fight. I give her a lot of credit for accepting this fight right away. I know that I’m facing a tough Mexican fighter, but I’ll beat her at her own game!"

Already the most-decorated fighter in women’s boxing, having won world titles at every weight class from 115 ל 140 קילו, the Brooklyn-based fighter currently has her sights set on becoming undisputed at featherweight, which means eventually luring the other 126-pound titlists into the ring with her.

“If Erica Cruz and Sarah Mahfood want to be considered the best, they have to face me,” said Serrano. “Each of them was offered the biggest purse of their career to face me on August 29, and they turned it down. I want to be undisputed in this division, but they refuse to take any chances. All I can do right now is train to be at my best and make another statement against Mercado.”

Throughout her training for this fight, Serrano has had the opportunity to train side-by-side with the event’s headliner in Paul. While she sees Paul doing what is necessary to reach his ultimate dreams, she too is intrigued by his matchup against the very tough Woodley on August 29.

“Jake is an up-and-coming fighter who’s taking all the right steps,” said Serrano. “He’s learning on the job and he’s shown that he’s a very hard worker. He’s got a positive team around him and I’m excited to see how he fights Tyron Woodley. Woodley is a great fighter and I’m looking forward to seeing how that matchup plays out.”

NEW YORK(נִשׂגָב 6, 2021) – British heavyweight sensationDaniel “Dynamite” Duboisbeamed with excitement during an open training session for his showdown against veteran Juiseppe Angelo Cusumano, which will be featuredon the undercard of the ג'ייק פול נגד. Tyron Woodley SHOWTIME PPV fight card on Sunday, נִשׂגָב 29 (8 p.m. p.m ET / 5. PT) from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, אוהיו.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to put on an explosive performance in front of the U.S. audience and show them who the future heavyweight champion of the world is going to be,” said Dubois.

Dubois (16-1, 15 קוס) is preparing for his U.S. debut under the tutelage of trainer Shane McGuigan out of McGuigan’s Gym in London. Since turning professional in 2017, the London-born star has only fought in the United Kingdom but has long desired fighting across the pond.

This really is a fight with two purposes,” continued Dubois. “It is not just the fight, it is about the crowd and I have always dreamt of fighting in America, but this will be a different sort of crowd with a different atmosphere as well. I am going to take it in and experience all they have got out there.

“כמובן, it will be all new to me, with a new young crowd and a new environment. I want to just go out there and perform well. Fighting on SHOWTIME will be special too, the big channel in the U.S., putting on the big shows.”

The 23-year-old has a near-perfect knockout percentage with 15 knockouts in his short pro career. His lone decision was a dominating performance over former world title challenger Kevin Johnson in 2018. Dubois has dispatched four undefeated fighters as he has risen the ranks, including an impressive first-round knockout against then unbeaten Ebenezer Tetteh in September 2019. His last three knockout victories have all come in the second round against difficult challengers Kyotaro Fujimoto, Ricardo Snijders and Bogdan Dinu. Dubois’ knockout performance against Dinu in June remains one of the most sensational finishes in the heavyweight division in 2021.

“It will be important for me to be explosive as I usually am, but I am not going to overthink it,” added Dubois. “It is just part of what I do and to be the best me, I go in there and knock them out. That has always been my approach.”

The WBA No. 1 מדורגת במשקל כבד, Dubois will take the next step toward a world title shot as he takes on the veteran challenger Cusumano, who hails from Danville, וירג'יניה. Cusumano is coming off a sixth-round knockout win over Gregory Corbin in November 2020.

“This represents a wonderful opportunity for Daniel to increase his recognition in the United States,” said International Boxing Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren. “I believe Daniel is the best young heavyweight in world boxing and another knockout for Daniel moves him closer to a huge fight for the WBA world title held by Trevor Bryan. This is a tremendous opportunity and I’m delighted to deliver it to him so early in his career.”

Dubois will continue to train in London alongside undefeated WBO cruiserweight world champion Lawrence Okolie, who has served as a chief sparring partner during preparations for Cusumano. The heavyweight contender will wrap up training in two weeks before departing for Cleveland to defend his WBA Interim title.

“I am ready now to push on and build on the WBA Interim title I won in my last fight,” said Dubois. “I am thrilled to take the show on the road and look to win the American public over. I am told the American public loves heavyweight boxing, so it is time to introduce them to Daniel Dubois.

“I will make sure it is a name they won’t forget in a hurry,” concluded the six-foot, five-inch contender.

JAKE PAUL VS. TYRON WOODLEY FACEOFF QUOTES AND PHOTOS

לחץכאן עבור תמונות אמנדה Westcott / Showtime

מיאמי(יוני 4, 2021) – Social media superstar and undefeated pro boxerJake “The Problem Child” Paul faced off with his next opponent, five-time UFC championTyron Woodley, at the historic 5ה Street Gym in Miami on Thursday ahead of their highly anticipated summer showdown on SHOWTIME PPV.

Here is what Paul and Woodley had to say following their heated stare down in Miami:

JAKE PAUL

“I told him I’ll pay you double your purse if you beat me. But if you lose, you have to pay your purse to my charity. He lacks confidence. Why wouldn’t you take that bet as a fighter if you knew you were going to win? To make double the money? This is the biggest pay day of your life and you can make double? Put your money where your mouth is.

“He’s a good striker. He’s known for knocking people out. But I think when I beat Tyron, people have to put respect on my name. But that’s not what I’m here for to be honest. I already know how good I am. I know that this is going to be another easy fight. That’s why SHOWTIME is in business with me. אתה מסתכל על העתיד של אגרוף.

“He’s not as good as me and he’s playing catch-up. We see holes in his whole entire game and he has try to learn how to box. He’s stiff. Muscles don’t fight and he’s going to be out of his element. This is boxing. This isn’t MMA. You can’t learn how to box in this amount of time. Now we’re going to show him the reins. The Disney kid is going to beat up the five-time UFC champion of the world. It’s going to be hilarious.

“I haven’t even shown my fighting abilities at all. I haven’t even made it past two rounds in my professional career. I haven’t been hit in the face. Nobody can even see if I have a chin or my inside fighting game. I haven’t even warmed up yet. And by the way, I’m the type of fighter that gets better the longer the fight goes on. I get better in sparring so I haven’t even been able to warm up and I’m excited to show my ability if he can make it out of the first round.

“I’ve predicted every single one of my fights. I said Ben Askren, סיבוב ראשון. I said Nate Robinson, סיבוב ראשון. He got to the second. I said in my first pro fight, סיבוב ראשון. I don’t think Tyron will make it out of two rounds. You might not even get to see my boxing abilities in this fight to be honest.”

TYRON WOODLEY

“I’ve always wanted to box my whole life but never did it. This is my opportunity. This is a kid that’s a power-puncher. He’s got a lot of strength behind him. This is going to be a big platform to showcase what I can do in a boxing ring. And he’s a fighter. הוא יכול להילחם. בסופו של היום, you can watch him and the timing, the rhythm and the footwork is there.

“He hasn’t fought very long. But the little action that I have seen was clean. Good defense. Nate was rushing him, he protected himself and he came out of his shell and cracked him.

“He’s trying to downplay his ability. He’s a fighter. Don’t let him play you by saying, ‘I’m just a YouTuber.’ Last week, he was a fighter. When he was saying nobody wanted to fight him, he was a fighter. You’re not a YouTuber anymore. You’re not on Disney. It’s been a long time since he was on Disney. That’s like me saying I’m just a collegiate wrestler and I don’t punch people.

“I just want to have fun. I want to train hard. I want to get better. I want to go out there and do things on my terms and be the one to call the shots. I want to go out there and make history. I always make history. I may not always get the credit for it but I’m always the first. Fighters always hit me up asking what they should do, what they’re doing wrong. Now it’s time for me to go do it myself.”

הצג ספורט הלחימה FNU: מוות בכלוב; UFC 225 סיכום ותוצאות ענק של סוף השבוע באגרוף

טום, טוני וריץ' משוחחים על השבוע בספורט קרבי, סיכום UFC מוערם 225 כרטיס (וכישלונו של CM Punk להשיק את קריירת ה-MMA שלו), ולעבור על התוצאות של סוף שבוע פרוע לאיגרוף. נתחיל בהדגשת שני אזכורים בפרופיל גבוה של מוות באוקטגון UFC. דיינה ווייט וטירון וודלי שניהם בחדשות השבוע בגלל העלאת הנושא. האזינו לשידור המלא למטה:

 

 

המקרה לפלויד מייוות'ר, ג 'וניור. Vs. CM פאנק בכלוב ה- UFC

על ידי: העשיר ברגרון

פלויד Mayweather, ג 'וניור. לא נגמר להילחם. את הכסף שעשה עם קונור מקגרגור במשחק איגרוף חד צדדי לא יהיה קל מאוד לעשות מחוץ לעולם המסוכן של הספורט הלחימי.. נראה כי פרישה תמיד אוכלת בפלויד, ובמוקדם או במאוחר הוא חוזר לעוד התקף שובר קופות שמזעזע את העולם.

 

CM פאנק זקוק לתיקו כדי לגרום לנו להתעניין בקריירה שלו. גם אם הוא מכה את הזבל החי מהבחור הבא הם מאכילים אותו באוקטגון UFC, לפאנק עדיין יהיה הרבה מה להוכיח. הכניסו אותו נגד מייוות'ר בקבלת פנים ל- MMA עבור המתאגרף ברמה העולמית, ולהפוך אותו למערך החלומי של פלויד שנותן לו את כל ההטבות וויתורי החסות שהוא רוצה בחוזה.

 

פלויד יהיה אנדרדוג אוטומטי שייכנס נגד מקגרגור מיד בכלוב. מתמודד כמו CM פאנק נותן לו יותר סיכוי לחימה. זה נותן ל- CM פאנק הזדמנות להשיק את הקריירה שלו באמת אם הוא יכול לנצח את פלויד.

 

העובדה היא, מייוות'ר יכולה ללמוד את הספורט של אומנויות לחימה מעורבות במהירות, ועם המהירות והאתלטיות שלו, בהתחשב באופציות מרשימות יותר הוא באמת יכול לזעזע אותנו בקרב ה- MMA הראשון שלו… אם הוא באמת מגבה את הדיבור שלו על לחימה בכלוב בפעולה.

 

במהלך הסיור לקראת משחק האיגרוף, פלויד התייחס שוב ושוב לרעיון להילחם במקגרגור בכלוב לאחר שקרב האיגרוף הלך לדרכו. הוא לא אומר דברים בקול שהוא לא באמת חושב שהם נכונים או שיכולים להיות נכונים אם ישקע בזה את המאמץ שלו.

 

היה לי המזל לעמוד על קצה הטבעת ליד לאונרד אלרבה במהלך אימון של מייוות'ר בלאס וגאס לפני שנים..

 

לפני שהוא זרק אגרופים על הכפפות שאלתי אותו מה הוא הכי אוהב באגרוף. לא ניסיתי להתקרב במהלך העומס הגדול בעיתונות, אז אני חושב שהוא לא ציפה לשאלה.

 

הוא ישב שתק, ולא רציתי שזה ילך תלוי כמו נפיח רע ברוח. שאלתי את זה שוב, אפילו חזק יותר. הוא לא הביט בדרכי כשהוא מתאגרף עם עצמו. “הכל.” לבסוף הודה, ואז הוא הלך לעבוד על הפגנת המהירות שלו ואת יכולת האגרוף שלו כדי לראות את כל התקשורת.

 

שילוב מרפקים, backfists, בעיטות והתאבקות בשגרת הלחימה שלו עלולים ליצור מפלצת אמיתית מתוך מייוות'ר. כמו כן, הכסף מאגרוף שיעקוב אחריו לכלוב יכול להיות אדיר עבורו ועבור ה- UFC כאחד. זה ייקח המון עבודה בגילו כדי להתאים את עצמו לספורט החדש, אבל CM פאנק כיריב ראשון מציב את הרף נמוך למדי כששני הגברים מקבלים הזדמנות להראות שהם שייכים. תנו לשניהם מחנה אימונים רציני, לעשות מזה תוכנית ריאליטי, וזה יכול לקרות.

 

 

 

“כסף” כבר מתכונן להתאמן באומנויות לחימה מעורבות עם אלוף ה- UFC טיירון וודלי, והוא ספג מעט שבחים גם על וודלי וגם על מקגרגור כלוחמים לאחרונה:

 

"אז עלינו לשנות כמה דברים אז, לקחת את הדברים לשלב הבא. אתה יודע שאני לא יכול להתעלם או לדפוק שום בחור MMA. טיירון לא יאומן. לוחם לא יאומן, מתחרה קשוח. קונור מקגרגור, הוא מתחרה קשה, לוחם גיהנום. יש הרבה קשוחים, בחורים מחוספסים שם ב- MMA ואני לא יכול להתעלם או לזלזל בבחורים האלה. "

 

 

 

הוויכוח על MMA לעומת אגרוף נמשך עוד הרבה לפני שהחלטתי לעשות את זה בעצמי עם סדרת תוכניות רדיו המציגה מומחה אחד נגד אחר.. אחד המועדפים עליי היה “Iceman” ג'ון סקאלי נגד קן שמרוק.

 

לא מפתיע, הוויכוח בין שני מומחי הלוחם / מאמנים הללו נסחף למייוות'ר שעשה את ההצלבה ל- MMA. זה לא מושג חדש לפלויד. הוא שומע את המבקרים מנדנדים על כך שהוא מעולם לא הגיע ל- MMA כבר יותר מעשור, תמיד חושב איך הוא יכול יום אחד להוכיח ששונאיו טועים.

 

 

מי שחושב שלוחם ה- MMA הטוב ביותר בכיתת המשקל שלו הורס את פלויד מעולם לא צפה בו מתאמן. מה יכול הבחור הזה לעשות עם כמה קרבות כיוונים והטיית כותרת? מה דעתך 9 חודשים של אימונים קשים בהגנת הסרה והגשה?

 

כולם ואחיהם שיודעים משהו על MMA מחליטים להשתמש בטיעון של כל המתאגרפים בעבר שנכשלו ב- MMA. הם מזכירים לכולנו את המאבק המפליג שבו רנדי קוטור גבר על ג'יימס טוני בקלות. פלויד Mayweather, ג 'וניור. הוא לא רק ברמה אחרת מזו שג'יימס טוני היה כאשר קיבל את ההזדמנות להילחם בכלוב, הוא נמצא על כוכב לכת אחר.

 

 

פלויד יכול להרשות לעצמו את המאמנים הטובים ביותר, הטוב מכל מה באמת בהכנות להיכנס לאוקטגון UFC. הוא לא יחסוך כל הוצאות בכספים והזיע הון עצמי על ביסוס מורשתו כלוחם הקרוסאובר הטוב ביותר בתולדות האגרוף ויריבות ה- MMA.. למי יש אתלטים האמיתיים הטובים ביותר? מייוות'ר מייצגת את מיטב האיגרוף, ולא נותר לו הרבה זמן להוכיח שמתאגרף ברמה עולמית יכול לשלוט בסצנת ה- MMA בגישה ובאסטרטגיה נכונה.

 

 

 

מקגרגור אכן הוכיח שהוא יכול לתת לפלויד כמה התאמות בזירת האיגרוף, אבל בקרב הקרוב השלישי בחוזה UFC המשחק הזה יכול לקרות שוב בכלוב. פלויד רק צריך להראות שהוא שייך, אך הצעד הראשון הוא האומץ לגבות את דבריו במעשים. הוא אכן אמר בסיור העיתונות באיגרוף לקרב מקגרגור שכשהוא ניצח את מקגרגור במלאכה שלו, הוא היה הולך ל- UFC ומכה את קונור בכלוב, מדי.

 

 

 

אני צופה א “טנק כריש” סוג של משא ומתן בין מייוות'ר לנשיאת UFC, דנה ווייט. פלויד יצטרך להשיג חלק מהקידום עצמו, גישה לכמות פרועה של מזומני ​​חסות, אפשרויות לגבייה על הכנסות מדיה, ולפחות $10 מיליון לקרב בשכר בסיס בלבד. כדי להשיג את חוזה המיליארד דולר שהוא חוזה, עורכי הדין יגהצו את הפרטים כל עוד פלויד יחליט שהוא צריך להתאמן לקרב הראשון שלו.

 

פלויד יכול היה בקלות לגרוף $90+ מיליון בחסות והכנסות תקשורתיות להרוויח $100 מיליון לקרב עם מנהלי Showtime בפינתו והיכרות עם הימצאות מול המצלמות. עסקה של חמישה קרבות פירושה שיש 1/2 פער של מיליארד דולר אלא אם כן אני מזלזל בכמה UFC ייתן לפלויד תמורת שכר בסיס. גם אם הוא עושה $200 מיליון לקרב, השאר יצטרכו לצאת מהתאגיד הכללי עצמו כהון עצמי, וזה מה שביקש קונור מקגרגור.

 

לפלויד פשוט יש מעלה גדולה יותר מלהיות בעלים / שותף ויהיה נכס עצום כשמדובר ב- UFC שרוצה לקדם איגרוף בשלב כלשהו.. הוא יכול גם להביא את האוהדים שלו ואת כל מי שרוצה לראות אותו מקציף ומלמד בדיסציפלינה החדשה. הוא מביא גלגלי עיניים, תשומת לב וכסף קיצוניים איתו לאן שהוא הולך. בשעה א $5 שווי מיליארד, ה- UFC יוכל כנראה להיפרד מעשרה אחוזים מהקידום כדי להביא את מייוות'ר רשמית לסיפון ולהביא אותו לנעול לעסקה ארוכת טווח..

 

 

התחום הנוסף שלפלויד עשויה להיות לו השפעה עצומה הוא למשוך יותר מתאגרפים לעבור ל- MMA. ראינו שחקני כדורגל כמו מאט מיטריונה וגרג הרדי חווים הצלחה כמעט מיידית ב- MMA, אז למה לא מתאגרף ברמה עולמית כמו פלויד? 19-0 המתאגרף המקצוען גרבונטה דייוויס כבר רומז לעקוב אחר בן חסותו פלויד ל- MMA ואומר הוא רק מחכה לשיחת הטלפון של דנה ווייט. ואז יש את המתאגרפים במשקל כבד לחשוב להכניס לכלוב, ואלוף מילים אנתוני ג'ושוע מעוניין לתת לו זריקה, מדי.

 

 

 

אז, הסיכויים גבוהים שמייוות'ר ייכנס לכלוב כדי להתחרות עד דצמבר השנה אם אתה מאמין באחד הסרטונים השנויים במחלוקת שלו עד כה בנושא:

 

 

מייוות'ר יכול להיות לוחם MMA מדהים אם תינתן לו חצי מהסיכוי. הוא לא אדם שלוקח אתגר כזה בקלילות. תהיה לו הגישה הטובה ביותר האפשרית בכדי להגיע למצב של לחימה במלחמה. הוא יחזיר כל מיני עניין לאגרוף לעומת. דיון ב- MMA ולמעשה עשוי אפילו לעורר שלב חדש לגמרי של אותו דיון. עולם הספורט הלחימי בכללותו ירוויח אם פלויד ו- UFC יוכלו לגרום לשותפות זו לעבוד.

 

 

באשר לאלה שחושבים שפלויד ייאכל בחיים, הם בהחלט זכאים לדעתם, אבל אל תשתמש בכישלונו של מקגרגור להסתגל לאגרוף כאל הבר שלך עבור פלויד. מייוות'ר לא ייקח על עצמו לוחם MMA ברמה עולמית בפעם הראשונה שהוא יעלה בכלוב. הוא לא יביא את המקבילה ל- MMA של פאולי מליניאג'י כדי לעלות על מהירות הספורט. הוא לא יחסוך שום הוצאה כדי להגיע להכנה הטובה ביותר האפשרית. הוא כבר מראה את זה כדי להיות נכון בכך שהוא מביא את טיירון וודלי כשותפו הרשמי לאימונים. הוא יבחר ביד את יריבו הראשון וככל הנראה לא יקבל שום סדק בתואר עד שניים או שלושה קרבות ילכו בדרכו.

 

מבקרים של אנשים שחושבים שהם יכולים להופיע בחדר כושר MMA ולצאת בעוד שישה שבועות ברמת UFC יקראו לי משוגע, אבל פלויד באמת הוא אתלט מדהים שיכול להשקיט את ספקיו, והוא לא נהיה צעיר יותר. עכשיו או לעולם לא לפתור את השאלה הזו איזה ספורט באמת טוב יותר בלהקים את הלוחם האידיאלי.
