Може ли Saunders да си осигури най-впечатляващата победа до момента над Lemieux?

Оставете коментар

Били Джо Сондърс ще излезе на ринга на декември 16 в Канада като управляващ и защитаващ шампион на WBO в средна категория, като горд притежател на колан, който спечели още през декември 2015 при победата на колега пътешественик Анди Лий.

 

Но тъй като очерта ирландеца Лий с успех с мажоритарно решение да стане световен шампион в Манчестър Арена, Сондърс го е защитавал само на два пъти, с единодушно решение триумфира над Артур Акавов и Уили Монро-младши., наскоро.

 

Срещу игра руски акавов, непобеденият титуляр на световната титла далеч не беше впечатляващ и може би дори имаше късмет да получи толкова удобно решение в крайна сметка в Центъра за отдих Lagoon на шотландска земя. Победата над американския претендент Монро-младши беше много по-добра, след това пое Доминик Ингъл за най-нов треньор.

 

Но последният двубой все още беше явна афера и не направи нищо за по-нататъшно или засилване на Сондърс’ апел към по-широка аудитория, тъй като той доста изнемогваше от новородената южна лапа доста удобно. За по-голямата част от защитата на титлата, той изобщо не е бил накаран да работи, с Монро влезе с причудливо неефективен план за игра.

 

Обаче, 28-годишният След това ще се изправи безспорно на най-трудния си тест за кариера до момента срещу бившия шампион от 160 лири Дейвид Лемио, далеч по-сериозно предизвикателство от неопитен и младежки Крис Юбанк-младши, безразличен Анди Лий и далеч от заплахата на Уили Монро Джуниър.

 

Трудно удареният канадски Lemieux ще влезе във въжетата на пръстена като евент аутсайдер в последните боксови коефициенти да преобладават на домашна територия, обещаваща цена за боец ​​при силен прилив на победи от късно. Тъй като е бил порочно спрян в галантно показване срещу дивизионния крал Генадий Головкин през октомври 2015, 28-годишният спечели четири поредни победи, включително два големи нокаута на Глен Тапия и Къртис Стивънс.


От всички противници Сондърс е ходил с пръсти до днес, никой не е притежавал ударната сила на Лемио, и това може да се окаже решаващ фактор ела битка нощ. Последната надежда за дома се насърчава от Златното момче на Оскар Де Ла Хоя, които на пръв поглед имат желание да съпоставят канадците с основната крава на пари Саул Канело’ Алварес догодина, вместо да го хвърляте с „GGG’ за пореден път в дългоочакван реванш.

 

Въпреки че е фаворитът да надделее и поддържа непобедимия си рейтинг за това, което ще бъде неговото моминско начинание извън Обединеното кралство в професионалната му кариера, изглежда шансовете всъщност са подредени срещу Сондърс за тази последна среща.

 

Това е очевидно, твърде, че Сондърс не може да се похвали с огромната сила, способна да държи Lemieux от флота далеч от опасните зони през целия си мач. Нокаут артистът Lemieux произвежда това, което в крайна сметка може да бъде гласувано спиране на годината през март, когато той брутално постави Стивънс’ светва в Ню Йорк.

 

Може ли друг порочен успех за спиране да бъде върху картите на домашна земя? От Saunders и Ingle зависи да изпълнят предстоящия си игрови план перфектно, за да осигурят това, което би било изключително впечатляваща победа на пътя, но изглежда вероятно да бъде наистина тестваща нощ в Квебек.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS V WILLIE MONROE JR, SEPTEMBER 16TH IN LONDON

Оставете коментар

THE WBO MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD
За незабавно освобождаване

LONDON (Юли 17, 2017)–WBO в средна World Champion Били Джо Сондърс will make the second defense of his crown against New York’s Willie Monroe Jr. на Събота, September 16th at London’s Copper Box Arena, live on BT Sport and BoxNation.

Hatfield’s Saunders (24-0, 12 Нокаута) defeated Irish hero Andy Lee to take the WBO strap in a close and absorbing fight back in December 2015 that saw the undefeated star floor the former Champion twice in the third round and go on to claim a majority decision from the judges.

A series of injuries led to a frustrating 2016 for Saunders, but he eventually defended his belt last December against Artur Akavov in Glasgow. Saunders was not at his best, but outpointed the game Russian. He was due to take on Avtandil Khurtsidze before the Georgian’s arrest in June.

Monroe Jr (21-2, 6 Нокаута) has a second chance at winning a World Title after a sixth round stoppage loss against IBF, WBA and WBC Middleweight World Champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin back in 2015. Since then the 30-year-old has won two decisions over John Thompson and Gabriel Rosado and holds a number five World ranking with the WBO.

“I am happy for this World Title opportunity,” said Monroe Jr. “I’m always in the gym and I’m ready to go now; I live the life. I can’t wait to show up and show out in London. Saunders is a good fighter and a worthy World Champion but I’m coming for that belt.”

“I gave a good account of myself against Golovkin, but I will admit that I got caught up in the moment. Billy Joe has had a lot of luxuries throughout his career that I haven’t had. All of his fights have been here in his own backyard, he hasn’t had to go into the Lion’s Den to prove himself. He calls me mentally weak but we’ll see on September 16th.”

“Willie is a good fighter and a good boxer,” said Saunders. “This is his big chance and he isn’t coming over here just to make up the numbers. He has been in with some of the best fighters in the World including Golovkin where he came up short.”

“I think it is going to be a very close fight but I already have the mental edge over him. He said he was done against Golovkin and that’s not what a warrior would do. I’d rather get knocked out cold than quit. I haven’t had the chance to show my true skill and talent as of yet as a pro. I can’t afford to overlook him and I’ll be in the best shape of my life on September 16th. Аз съм 100% going to get the win.”

Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions said: “I am very happy for Willie; this is a great opportunity. A lot of things had to fall into place for Willie to get this fight. Saunders is a great fighter, and this should be a terrific event. I want to thank tthe WBO as well as Frank Warren and Billy Joe Saunders for this opportunity.”

Saunders’ promoter Frank Warren said: “Bill will have to be at the very top of his game to get the win on September 16th. The winner of this fight will have the missing piece on the Middleweight jigsaw, Canelo and Golovkin both want that WBO belt.”

“If Bill comes through this fight we are pushing hard for the winner of Canelo vs. Golovkin. If Golovkin wins I hope we can do that fight in December, if Canelo wins it could be in the New Year. Bill has to go out there and prove a point, there is a lot on the line.”

Ilford Light-Heavyweight knockout king Anthony Yarde and teenage Heavyweight sensation Daniel Dubois will feature on an action-packed undercard. Yarde picked up the WBO European strap with a first round KO win over Richard Baranyi last time out at the Copper Box Arena while 19 year-old Dubois claimed the WBC World Youth Heavyweight belt in only his fourth contest.

Full undercard details will be announced shortly.

Tickets for Saunders v Monroe Jr priced at £40, £50, 70 паунда, 100 паунда, 150 паунда, £200 and £300 (VIP/Hospitality) are available from:

Willie Monroe, Jr.: “I know Canelo would fight me.”

Оставете коментар

За незабавно освобождаване
Филаделфия, PA (Октомври 5, 2016)–After his emphatic unanimous decision victory over Gabriel Rosado on September, 17тата, it was widely understood in the boxing industry that middleweight contender Willie Monroe, Jr. would get an opportunity to face Canelo Alvarez in a bout this winter or next spring.
Now it seems, Canelo’s team, led by trainer Eddie Reynoso, have seemed to do a 180 degree turn, and they don’t want their prized fighter anywhere near the former world title challenger.
“I don’t think it’s Canelo himself, but it is his team. I know Canelo would fight me,“said Monroe. “I think it is trainers who fear that they can’t prepare Canelo for my style.“
Monroe points to pre-fight talk that came from Canelo’s side that the winner of the fight between Monroe & Rosado would be the front-runner to receive the fight with Alvarez.
“If he is a true man, they should stick to their word. The plan was for the winner of that fight to be able to fight Canelo. They thought Rosado would win, and he would just be a guy that would get pounded by Canelo.”
“If the shoe was on the other foot, and it was me who did not want to fight an aggressive fighter, I would look like a punk.”
“They keep putting me on the “B” side, and I just keep on winning. Remember Rosado was the guy who kept saying he was going to knock me out and talking a lot, calling me scared and a bum; I am not that type of guy. I don’t have nine gold chains around my neck or gold teeth in.”

Watch the fight with Rosado. I stood in the middle of the ring with my feet planted in. I was waiting for Rosado to come in, and after I hit him a few times, he looked scared and it was me pressing him.”
“All I want is the opportunity. Canelo got to where he is by fighting big names, so I feel I deserve this opportunity.”
