Kan Saunders sikre sig sin mest imponerende gevinst til dato over Lemieux?

Efterlad en kommentar

Billy Joe Saunders tager til ringen i december 16 i Canada som den regerende og forsvarende WBO-mellemvægtmester, at være den stolte ejer af et bælte, som han vandt helt tilbage i december 2015 når besejre medrejsende Andy Lee.

 

Men siden han udpegede irske Lee med en flertalsbeslutnings succes at blive verdensmester på Manchester Arena, Saunders har kun forsvaret det ved to lejligheder, med enstemmig beslutning triumferer over Artur Akavov og Willie Monroe Jr., for nylig.

 

Mod spillet russisk Akavov, den ubesejrede verdens titelholder var langt fra imponerende og måske endda heldig at få en så behagelig beslutning i sidste ende på Lagoon Leisure Centre på skotsk jord. Sejren over den amerikanske udfordrer Monroe Jr var meget bedre, efter at have påtaget sig Dominic Ingle som sin nyeste træner.

 

Men sidstnævnte kamp var stadig en trist affære og gjorde intet for at fremme eller øge Saunders’ appellerer til et bredere publikum, da han overarbejdede den New York-fødte Southpaw ganske behageligt. For det meste af titelforsvaret, han blev slet ikke brugt til at arbejde, med Monroe, der er kommet ind med et bizart ineffektivt gameplan.

 

Men, den 28-årige næste vil uden tvivl møde hans hårdeste karriere test til dato mod tidligere £ 160-mester David Lemieux, en langt mere seriøs udfordring end en uerfaren og ungdommelig Chris Eubank Jr., en ligeglad Andy Lee og langt fra at true Willy Monroe Junior.

 

Hårdtslående canadiske Lemieux kommer ind i ringtovene som den jævnlige outsider i de seneste boksodds at sejre på hjemlandet, en lovende pris for en kæmper med en kraftig bølge af sejre for sent. Siden blev ondskabsfuldt stoppet i et galant show mod divisionens kongehoved Gennady Golovkin i oktober 2015, 28-åringen har vundet fire sejre i træk, inklusive to store knockouts af Glen Tapia og Curtis Stevens.


Af alle modstandere har Saunders gået tå til tå med til dato, ingen har haft Lemieuxs stansekraft, og det kunne være en afgørende faktor for kampnat. Sidstnævnte hjemhåb fremmes af Oscar De La Hoyas Golden Boy, der tilsyneladende er ivrige efter at matche den canadiske med den største pengeko Saul 'Canelo’ Alvarez næste år, snarere end at smide ham med 'GGG’ endnu en gang i en meget ventet omkamp.

 

På trods af at være favoritten til at sejre og opretholde sin ubesejrede rekord om, hvad der bliver hans jomfruforetagende uden for Storbritannien i sin professionelle karriere, det ser ud til, at oddsene faktisk er stablet mod Saunders for dette seneste møde.

 

Det har været tydeligt, for, at Saunders ikke kan prale af den massive magt, der er i stand til at holde en flådfodet Lemieux væk fra fareområderne i hele deres match-up. Knockout-kunstneren Lemieux producerede det, der til sidst kunne vælges til årets stop tilbage i marts, da han brutalt satte Stevens’ lyser ud i New York City.

 

Kan en anden ondskabsfuld succes være på kortene i hjemmet? Det er op til Saunders og Ingle at udføre deres kommende gameplan perfekt for at sikre, hvad der ville være en meget imponerende sejr på vejen, men det ser sandsynligt ud til at blive en virkelig testnat i Quebec.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS V WILLIE MONROE JR, 16. SEPTEMBER I LONDON

Efterlad en kommentar

WBO MIDDELVÆGT MESTERSKAB I VERDEN
PRESSEMEDDELELSE

LONDON (Juli 17, 2017)–WBO mellemvægt verdensmester Billy Joe Saunders vil gøre det andet forsvar af sin krone mod New Yorks Willie Monroe Jr. på Lørdag, 16. september i Londons Copper Box Arena, live på BT Sport og BoxNation.

Hatfield's Saunders (24-0, 12 KOS) besejrede den irske helt Andy Lee for at tage WBO-remmen i en tæt og absorberende kamp tilbage i december 2015 der så det ubesejrede stjernegulv den tidligere Champion to gange i tredje runde og fortsatte med at kræve en flertalsafgørelse fra dommerne.

En række skader førte til en frustrerende 2016 til Saunders, men til sidst forsvarede han sit bælte i december sidste år mod Artur Akavov i Glasgow. Saunders var ikke på sit bedste, men outpointede spillet russisk. Han skulle overtage Avtandil Khurtsidze inden georgiernes anholdelse i juni.

Monroe Jr (21-2, 6 KOS) har en anden chance for at vinde en verdensmesterskab efter et sjette rundestop mod IBF, WBA og WBC mellemvægt verdensmester Gennady “GGG” Golovkin tilbage 2015. Siden da har 30-åringen vundet to beslutninger over John Thompson og Gabriel Rosado og besidder verdensrangliste nummer fem med WBO.

“Jeg er glad for denne mulighed for verdenstitel,” sagde Monroe Jr.. “Jeg er altid i gymnastiksalen, og jeg er klar til at gå nu; Jeg lever livet. Jeg kan ikke vente med at dukke op og vise mig i London. Saunders er en god fighter og en værdig verdensmester, men jeg kommer efter det bælte.”

“Jeg gav mig en god redegørelse mod Golovkin, men jeg vil indrømme, at jeg blev fanget i øjeblikket. Billy Joe har haft en masse luksus gennem sin karriere, som jeg ikke har haft. Alle hans kampe har været her i hans egen baghave, han har ikke været nødt til at gå ind i løvehulen for at bevise sig selv. Han kalder mig mentalt svag, men vi ser videre 16. september.”

“Willie er en god fighter og en god bokser,” sagde Saunders. “Dette er hans store chance, og han kommer ikke herover bare for at gøre op på tallene. 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 16. september. Jeg er 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. Jeg vil gerne takke WBO såvel som Frank Warren og Billy Joe Saunders for denne mulighed.”
Pressekonferencevideo Højdepunkter med tilladelse fra BT Sports

Saunders’ sagde promotor Frank Warren: “Bill bliver nødt til at være øverst i sit spil for at vinde gevinsten 16. september. Vinderen af ​​denne kamp vil have det manglende stykke på mellemvægt, Canelo og Golovkin vil begge have det WBO-bælte.”

“Hvis Bill kommer igennem denne kamp, ​​skubber vi hårdt for vinderen af ​​Canelo vs.. Golovkin. Hvis Golovkin vinder, håber jeg, at vi kan gøre den kamp i december, hvis Canelo vinder, kan det være om det nye år. Bill er nødt til at gå derude og bevise et punkt, der er meget på linjen.”

Ilford Light-Heavyweight knockout-konge Anthony Yarde og teenage-Heavyweight-sensationen Daniel Dubois kommer på et actionfyldt underkort. Yarde hentede WBO's europæiske rem med en KO-sejr i første runde over Richard Baranyi sidste gang på Copper Box Arena, mens 19 årige Dubois hævdede WBC World Youth Heavyweight belt i kun sin fjerde konkurrence.

Fuld detaljer om underkort vil blive annonceret inden længe.

Billetter til Saunders v Monroe Jr koster £ 40, £ 50, £ 70, £ 100, £ 150, £ 200 og £ 300 (VIP / gæstfrihed) er tilgængelige fra:

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

Efterlad en kommentar

PRESSEMEDDELELSE
Philadelphia, PA (Oktober 5, 2016)–After his emphatic unanimous decision victory over Gabriel Rosado on September, 17th, 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.”
