Unsere Show in dieser Woche war Lou Duva gewidmet (oben rechts mit unserem Co-Moderator Tony Penecale). Lou starb Anfang dieser Woche im reifen Alter von 1994. Er war ein guter Freund von Rocky Marciano, ein Promotor von 19 Weltmeister, und ein Mann, der alle seine Eisen in dem einen Feuer hatte, das sein Leben erleuchtete: Boxen. Der Promoter / Trainer / Manager / die Legende erschien vor Jahren in der FNU Combat Sports Show, aber leider ist das Audio körnig und fleckig. Wenn Sie genau hinschauen, überwiegen die Edelsteine, die unser Vortrag enthält, die schwer zu hörenden Stellen.

FORMER CAGE WARRIORS COMMENTATOR JOHN GOODEN SHARES HIS IRISH FIGHT NIGHT MEMORIES AHEAD OF CAGE WARRIORS’ RETURN TO DUBLIN

ZUR SOFORTIGEN VERÖFFENTLICHUNG
Dienstag, February 28th, 2017

As we look forward to our long-awaited return to Dublin this weekend, the former voice of Cage Warriors remembers the raucous atmosphere of the Irish fight fans and recalls the moment he took a knee from a man who would go on to become the biggest star in the sport – Conor McGregor.

Before he started calling fights for the UFC, British play-by-play man John Gooden was the voice of Cage Warriors.

And nobody knows the passion of the Irish fight fans quite like John who, during the now-famous rise to prominence of Conor McGregor, ended up right in the thick of it with the legendary Irish fight fans during both of ‘The Notorious’ one’s Cage Warriors championship victories.

We chatted to Gooden at CW80 in London where he shared his memories of his Irish fight night experiences ahead of our return to Dublin this weekend for Cage Warriors 81.

I think my first taste was the Helix when Conor won his first world title,” he began.

I got injuredConor kneed me in the face! But I stayed here to live to tell the tale!

He jumped the fence. His fans were going absolutely bonkers, and I think if he didn’t go out, they were coming in. So strategically he did the right thing, although he sort of ran through me to get to them!

But Josh (Palmer, Cage Warriors co-commentator) and I were covered in beer and it was just this melee of craziness. So that was really cool, because I can say I took a knee from Conor McGregorwhich he apologised for, as well!

The Helix was an interesting venue. It was on different levels and the last time I was there the Irish were having mixed results. Then Conor came out and, as he does, rouses everyone and came away with the victory in the fashion that he did. That just put the capstone on the night and just made it celebratory.”

After that fight both McGregor and Gooden were UFC bound, where they would reunite in Dublin at the 3Arena for UFC Fight Night: McGregor v Brandao, an event that has gone down in folklore as one of the most raucous in UFC history.

I’ve been over to Dublin twice (with the UFC) but the first time in 2014 – McGregor-Brandaoit’s gonna be difficult to top that,” Gooden smiled.

The fans were SO good. The Irish fighters went 100%. They won, they won, they won and the crowd loved it. They got behind every single one and it was just a big celebration.

Going back there, it was a sensory overload and I’m gonna take that to the grave with me.”

That event has been held up as the standard by which all fight night atmospheres are now judged, but there have been plenty of examples of the Irish fans’ passion since then, whether it’s at home for a host of different events, or on the road supporting their heroes overseas.

And on Saturday night the Irish fight fans have the opportunity to cheer on their boys on home soil once again at Cage Warriors 81. With a host of Irish fighting talent set for action, including Karl Moore bidding to capture the vacant Cage Warriors light-heavyweight title against American Josh Clark, we’re expecting another party atmosphere at the 3Arena.

Tickets sind über erhältlich in der Leichtbauklasse, priced €98, €38 and €24, with ticket holders also able to attend a special meet and greet session with our special guest fighters Neil Seery, Nicolas Dalby and the newly crowned Cage Warriors Welterweight Champion Karl Amoussou.

The bout will be televised live on eirSPORT 1 in Ireland, BT Sport in UK and Ireland, und weltweit auf gestreamt UFC Kampf Pass.

UFC 209: Woodley vs.. Wonderboy und Khabib vs.. Ferguson Vorschau und Vorhersage

Von: Reiche Bergeron

UFC 209 nähert sich schnell mit zwei dynamischen Kämpfen auf der Karte, einschließlich eines mit Spannung erwarteten Rückkampfs zum Abschluss der Show. Die Fans sehnen sich nach einer soliden Kampfkarte, nachdem sie sich nach mehreren enttäuschenden Pay-Per-View-Ereignissen in den letzten Monaten mehr gewünscht haben. Dies ist eine Karte, die definitiv das Actionreiche liefern könnte, Adrenalinreiche Spektakelfans erwarten den Eintrittspreis. Hier sind meine Vorschauen und Vorhersagen für die beiden Blockbuster-Kämpfe ganz oben auf der Rechnung.

Stephen Thompson (13-1-1) bekommt einen weiteren Sprung beim Titel im Weltergewicht gegen Tyron Woodley (16-3-1) im Main Event. Sogar die Chancenmacher (Probier das aus M88 Sportwetten für weitere Wettinformationen) Es fällt mir schwer vorherzusagen, wie dieser hoch aufgeladene Rückkampf verlaufen wird. Woodley kommt als kleiner Außenseiter herein +110 zu Thompson -140.

Immer noch, Der Champion war kurz davor, den ersten Kampf in der vierten Runde zu beenden. Anstatt mit seinem kraftvollen Boden- und Pfund-Ansatz gegen den in Schwierigkeiten geratenen Thompson fortzufahren, Woodley wechselte stattdessen zu einem fehlgeschlagenen Choke-Versuch. Thompson war in der Lage, den Sturm zu überstehen und die Auslosung zu beenden, Er gewann aber auch drei der fünf Runden auf der Scorekarte. Die Experten, die die Wettlinien festlegen, sind sich dessen offensichtlich bewusst und berücksichtigen dies bei ihren Berechnungen.

Kann Woodley sich in die richtige Position bringen, um diesmal den Ko-Sieg zu erzielen, oder wird Thompson die richtigen Anpassungen vornehmen, um diesmal jede Runde zu gewinnen??

Prognose: Stephen Thompson machte im ersten Kampf einen krassen Fehler, der dazu führte, dass Woodley eine große Chance hatte, durch Ko zu gewinnen. Woodley suchte sich seine Plätze aus und machte den Kampf wettbewerbsfähig, Da beide Kämpfer jetzt so viel voneinander wissen, kann er seine Leistung im ersten Kampf möglicherweise nicht wiederholen oder verbessern. Mittlerweile, Thompson ist ein erfahrener Taktiker, und diesmal wird er sich auf die Käfigkontrolle konzentrieren. Er wird Distanzstreik verwenden, hervorragende Verteidigung, und ständige Bewegung, um Woodley diesmal davon abzuhalten, größeren Schaden anzurichten. Woodley hat natürlich die Chance, alle seine Zweifler mit einem Schlag zu beruhigen, Aber Thompson ist der Typ Kämpfer, der dem Champion möglicherweise keine Chance gibt, diesen Schuss zu landen.

THOMPSON GEWINNT DURCH EINSTIMMIGE ENTSCHEIDUNG

Das Co-Main Event wird die Voraussetzungen für die Rückkehr von Conor MacGregor in den UFC-Käfig schaffen. Der irische Superstar wird schließlich gegen den Gewinner des Co-Main Events von UFC 209 antreten: Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0) vs. Tony Ferguson (22-3). Dieser Kampf könnte möglicherweise das Hauptereignis inszenieren, trotz der Tatsache, dass Khabib ein ist -205 Favorit bei Ferguson +165 Gewinnchancen. Beide Kämpfer haben genug Schwung, um sich einen Titelschuss zu verdienen, ohne gegeneinander zu kämpfen, Aber das macht diesen Kampf auf dem Papier nicht weniger aufregend. Ferguson ist 12-1 in der UFC mit seiner einzigen Niederlage gegen Khabibs letzten Gegner: Michael Johnson. Ferguson verlor gegen Johnson in 2012 durch einstimmige Entscheidung, während Khabib Johnson über Kimura in der dritten Runde ihrer UFC vorlegte 205 Zusammenstoß im letzten November.

Beide Kämpfer haben gleichermaßen beeindruckende Stärken. Khabib erstickt viele seiner Gegner mit knackigen Wrestling-Fähigkeiten, um seiner mehr als fähigen Schlag- und Unterwerfungsfähigkeit zu entsprechen. Sambo und Judo sind auch Grundnahrungsmittel für Nurmagomedovs intensive Herangehensweise an Käfigkämpfe. Er ist so gut gerundet, dass er die gleiche Anzahl hat (8) der Einreichung, Entscheidung und T / KO gewinnt, und alle seine Entscheidungssiege sind einstimmig.

Ferguson hat neun Siege eingefahren. Er ist eher ein Volumenstürmer, und er benutzte exzellentes Boxen, um den Gegnern, die er bisher dominiert hat, seinen Willen aufzuzwingen. Er ist ebenso gut gerundet wie Nurmagomedov und kann diesen hervorragenden Schlag nutzen, um Einreichungen bei betäubten Gegnern zu sichern. Er hat 8 Einsendungen zu gehen 9 T / KOs und fünf Entscheidungen.

PROGNOSE: Ferguson könnte gerade auf einem enormen Lauf sein, Aber Khabib hat absolut jeden Gegner dominiert, dem er jemals in seiner MMA-Karriere begegnet ist. McGregor könnte tatsächlich ein Unentschieden in diesem Kampf anstreben, damit er etwas mehr Zeit hat, um einen Boxkampf mit Floyd Mayweather zu verhandeln, Jr. während diese beiden Konkurrenten einen unvermeidlichen Rückkampf aufbauen. Jedoch, Bindungen sind in der UFC selten genug, dass man sich das hier nur schwer vorstellen kann. Es ist viel wahrscheinlicher, dass dieser Kampf mit einem Kämpfer auf der Leinwand endet, kalt oder zu benommen, um fortzufahren. Alle Anzeichen deuten darauf hin, dass dieser Kämpfer Ferguson ist, MacGregor mit der Aussicht zu verlassen, sein Können unter Beweis stellen zu müssen, indem er einen Mann schlägt, den noch niemand zuvor schlagen konnte. Natürlich, In diesem Käfig kann alles passieren und jeder kann eine schlechte Nacht im Büro haben, Aber mit Perfektion ist es schwer zu streiten.

NURMAGOMEDOV VON 2. Runde TKO

FNU Combat Sports Show Featuring Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk

John “The Beast” Baranchyk (15-0, 10 KOs) joins the broadcast tonight to talk about his recent war on ShoBox with Abel Ramos (17-2-2, 12 KOs). Baranchyk launched an incredible effort in the later rounds to hand Ramos his second professional loss and establish himself as a spirited, tough-as-nails brawler. Some experts claimed the fight was one of the most entertaining bouts in the 17-year history of the ShoBox series. Tom, Tony and Rich discuss the fight, other highlights of Ivan’s career, and get Baranchyk to explain how his early start in Jiu Jitsu eventually led him to the Sweet Science. The 24-year-old is already solidifying his legend, which explains why he points to “Bügeleisen” Mike Tyson as one of his role models in the sport of boxing.

 

Tom, Tony and Rich also discuss the latest Mayweather/MacGregor news, an odd suspension of an MMA fighter for going after his opponent’s corner man, the calling off of Chris Brown vs. Soulja Boy, and Roy Jones Jr. re-establishing his goal of fighting Anderson Silva in a boxing match (he now wants it to be on the Mayweather/MacGregor undercard).

 

We also recap last week’s combat sports events and preview Bellator 173 and this week’s upcoming boxing matches.

Mayweather vs. MacGregor Hype Reaching New Heights

 

Von: Reiche Bergeron

Can a pro mixed martial artist beat a pro boxer is the kind of question that started the UFC in the first place, but now the wildly popular fight league seems to be trying to avoid that question entirely when it comes to a potential boxing match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.

Though recent reports indicated a deal was in the works with only a third party failing to agree on terms (most likely the UFC), it seems that the UFC brass knows this could be a lose/lose situation for the promotion. For one, Conor is almost guaranteed to lose the fight. Secondly, the purse he will command should be extremely hefty, which will mean he will demand the same kind of money for every fight after this one. This is why UFC President Dana White put his ceiling at $25 million for McGregor to fight Mayweather.

 

The UFC could end up paying dearly for letting this fight happen. It could make McGregor much too popular and shift the balance of power from the UFC bosses to their star employee. Conor will be the one calling the shots from here on out if this boxing match happens, especially if it ends up being a $100 million payday forMystic Mac.

Just consider this segment on UNDISPUTED, starring Shannon Sharp and Skip Bayless:

 

The inevitable loss for McGregor would really be a huge win for the cocky, arrogant and outspoken fighter who seems like he actually believes he can pull off a miracle win. Even if he’s knocked out, beaten by a wide unanimous decision, or disqualified for engaging in illegal strikes, Conor stands to make enough money to potentially retire from MMA for good. It’s either that, or he could just continue in MMA with the stipulation that no fight purse in his future be any less than what he makes for the Mayweather bout. If Conor even shows the slightest bit of skill in the boxing ring, he could also end up being the combat sports version of Bo Jackson and maintain a career as a two sport athlete in the future. All of this is simply bad for the UFC as a whole, as they will at best have to share one of their top talents and will have to pay him outrageous fees to keep him fighting in their Octagon.

It would be much much smarter for Conor fans to play some casino games at คาสิโน MarathonBet than it would for any of them to put down money on their hero to win this fight. Whatever odds this fight does finally generate in Vegas, McGregor is sure to be a huge underdog that will tempt his fans to make the bet on the slim chance of a huge payout. It just isn’t a good idea considering the lack of experience Conor has as a boxer and the invincibility of Mayweather in the final years of his boxing career.

What is crystal clear is that Mayweather wants only one fight to leave the comfort of retirement, and McGregor is the only man who will face him in that fight. The fact that this should be a walk in the park is not lost on Floyd. There’s no downside to trouncing McGregor. Floyd has been itching to prove MMA fighters as a whole don’t have the punching power or prowess that a boxer of his caliber has. He will no doubt get his chance, but don’t ask the UFC to pay astronomical record numbers to facilitate a fight of this magnitude if it means raising the fight pay bar to a level they can never recover from if they want to keep their ultimate superstar on the books.

 

McGregor can talk all he wants, and sports pundits will eat it up like candy. People will either have some insane belief that he can pull off this walk on water routine, or they will want to pay to see his ego crushed in defeat. So oder so, this bout could reap huge rewards for both fighters. People WILL pay to see it, even if it does prove to be a complete and utter disappointment.

WHAT DOES WINNING THAT BELT MEAN TO YOU?

Karl Amoussou: That belt is my entry ticket to the UFC. I am bringing it back to France.

Matt Inman: This belt is my path, I’ve been with Cage Warriors a long time. This is my eighth fight with the promotion and I feel like I’ve been on this path along time. Ich bin bereit.

Karl Amoussou: So am I.

DO YOU FEEL ANY PRESSURE GOING INTO THIS FIGHT?

MY: The only pressure I feel is the pressure I put upon myself to put in the best performance I can.

KA: Pressure is always present during a fight, I know I’m going to have the best version of Matt Inman facing me and he’s going to be ready for the best version of Karl Amoussou. No problem with the pressure, I’ll deal with it.

IS THIS A CAREER-DEFINING FIGHT FOR YOU?

KA: Yes this is definitely a career-defining fight. Now I have to be in the UFC. I belong in the UFC, I should be in the UFC already and after this fight I will definitely be there, kein Zweifel.

MY: Without a doubt, this is the biggest fight of my career against the highest-profile opponent.

ARE YOU EXCITED TO BE HEADLINING AT INDIGO AT THE O2?

MY: I’m excited to be headlining at Indigo at The O2. I’ve waited a long time for this opportunity and I’m just extremely excited to get in there.

KA: I’m very excited to be fighting at The O2 and headline the show, 10 years after my first fight with Cage Warriors. It’s proof of big improvements and I’m going to show where the improvements are now.

DESCRIBE YOUR OPPONENT IN THREE WORDS

KA: Well-dressed, tough and well-rounded.

MY: Powerful, aggressive and experienced.

DOES YOUR OPPONENT DESERVE TO BE FIGHTING IN THE UFC ALREADY? AND IF SO, WARUM?

MY: I think this is a fight where both of us should have been fighting in the UFC a long time ago, there’s no question of that. This is a fight that could be on any main card, on any UFC event.

KA: Just like Matt I think exactly the same. We both have our place in the UFC and after this fight there is only going to be space for one but we definitely both deserve to be there.

THERE’S NOT MUCH ANIMOSITY BETWEEN THE PAIR OF YOU. DOES THAT MAKE THE FIGHT ANY HARDER TO GET UP FOR IF YOU DON’T HATE THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU?

KA: There is no need for me to have any animosity against an opponent, I think it’s a waste of energy. I know what my goal is, I’m pretty sure Matt knows what his goal is and I think we have the same. We are both going to do our job and, on my part, I know exactly what I’m going to do. So there’s no need for animosity.

MY: I never require animosity when facing an opponent. My focus is on performing the best I can and that would be the same whatever way I felt about my opponent and that’s what I guarantee I’ll do come fight night.

ENDLICH, HOW WILL THE FIGHT END?

MY: I’m not going to make predictions for how this fight will end. I’m expecting a tough fight and a real challenge, but I’m ready to come out the winner.

KA: I’m going to make a prediction. This fight is going to end either by KO or submission. I’ll be ready for five rounds and I’ll be ready for a submission or a KO in every single round, so be ready for it, zu.
