Canelo ALVAREZ VS. Daniel JACOBS ** Nuodugnus peržiūrėti ir analizė **

1 Komentaras


Iki: Tonis Penecale

Didžiausia bokso savaitė atėjo su kasmetine „Cinco de Mayo“ savaitgalio ekstravagancija Las Vegase. Meksikos palapinių žvaigždė Saulius „Canelo“ Alvarezas grįžta į savo namus toli nuo namų, kad susidurtų su vidutinio svorio tituluotojo iššūkiu, Danielis „Stebuklingasis žmogus“ Jacobsas, kuris ketina sugadinti namo grįžimą.

Ar Canelo gali pabarstyti papildomu cinamonu ant sprogstamos pergalės? Arba tai bus Jacobsas, kuris sugrįš dar vieną stebuklą?

STILIUS

Alvarez:
Agresyvus, fizinis kovotojas, turintis nepakankamai įvertintus bokso įgūdžius, Alvarez dažnai nešioja priešininkus žemyn nuosekliai slėgio ir Sunkioji štampus. Naudodamas metimus naudodamas nenuoramas ir kontras, priešininkas atmuša laiką ir sukuria angas jėgas trūkstančiam kūno puolimui. Abiejose rankose neša kovą keičiančią galią, tačiau kartais nemeta pakankamai smūgių. Nors jis labiausiai žinomas dėl savo puolimo įgūdžių, Alvarez turėti padoraus, bet ne puikus, gynybinės įgūdžiai miegamos ir blokuoti štampus.

Jacobs:
Lieknas, ilgų ginklų boksininkas, turintis universalių įgūdžių, dažnai kovoja agresyviai ir nebijo keistis smūgiais. Jacobsas sujungia gerus bokso įgūdžius ir pagrindus, turėdamas nokauto jėgą abiejose rankose. Kartais bus per daug įžeidžiantis ir yra linkęs atremti smūgius. Rodo nepaprastą širdį sunkumų akivaizdoje.








STIPRUMO

Alvarez:
* Galia - Alvarezas griaustinį neša abiem kumščiais. Abiejose rankose jis turi nokauto galią, bet labiausiai niokojantis ginklas gyvena jo kairės kabliuko, ypač kūnui. Savo karjeroje jis turi tris metų nokautus.

* Stiprumas - Alvarez fiziškai subręsta ir tankiai pastatytas kovotojas su slėpiningas stiprumo. Jis veiksmingai palaiko kovotojus, net tada, kai nenusileidžiant praplaukite štampus. Jis išaugo iš vidutinio svorio jaunimo ir neseniai dalyvavo vidutinio svorio kategorijoje.

* Patirtis - Alvarezas per savo profesinę karjerą nuėjo ilgą kelią ir varžėsi su keletu didžiausių bokso vardų. Jis daug kartų buvo šioje akimirkoje, o audringa atmosfera jam bus antroji prigimtis.


Jacobs:
* Charakteris - Jacobsas atsistojo ir nugalėjo labiausiai bauginantį savo karjeros priešininką, kai jis įveikė kaulų vėžį 2011. Jo personažas pasirodo ringe, nes savo karjeroje jis susidūrė su sunkiais iššūkiais.

* Galia - Jacobsas užsiregistravo 29 nuo jo 35 profesionalių pergalių nutraukimas. Jis turi galią pakeisti kovą vienu smūgiu ir žudiko instinktu užbaigti sužeistą priešininką.


* Universalus - Jacobs turi gerus bokso įgūdžius ir judėjimą, kartais persijungia tarp stačiatikių ir pietų pozicijų. Jei prieš kitą agresyvų priešininką, Jokūbas boksuosis ant galinės kojos ir ieškos kontratakų galimybių. Jis sugeba pagreitinti tempą, kai to reikia.




TRŪKUMAI

Alvarez:
* Taktinės klaidos - Alvarezas padarė taktinių klaidų kai kuriose ankstesnėse kovose, įskaitant bandymą įveikti Floydą Mayweatherį jaunesnįjį. boksuodamasis su juo lauke. Kitose kovose, jis leido oponentams kontroliuoti tempą ir pavogti raundus.

* Lengvai pasiekiamas - nors jo įžeidžiantis įgūdis yra vizitinė kortelė, Alvarezas turi neblogą gynybą. Kai jis praranda dėmesį arba tampa pernelyg agresyvus, jis plačiai atmerktas tiesioms dešinėms rankoms ir priešiniams smūgiams.

* Sunkios kojos - Alvarezas pasižymi gerais bokso sugebėjimais, tačiau dažnai ringe yra lėtas. Lyginant su aukštesniais kovotojais, turinčiais gerą šoninį judesį, jis dažnai kovoja, kaip buvo jo per Austiną Troutą ir Erislandy Lara.


Jacobs:
* Įtariamasis smakras - Jacobsui nėra svetima ragauti drobę. Jį pražūtingai išmušė Dmitrijus Pirogas, patirdamas pirmąją profesionalo netektį. Jis taip pat buvo ant drobės prieš Genadijų Golovkiną ir Sergio Morą.

* Neapgalvotas - savo pirmoje kovoje su „Mora“, Jacobsas tapo per daug agresyvus, kai pelnė nokdauną ir paliko save plačiai atvertas už kontrataką, kuris padėjo jį ant drobės.. Jis taip pat vėl buvo nesubalansuotas ir neapgalvotas, kai pribloškė Peterį Quilliną.

* Atmosfera - Jacobsas anksčiau kovojo Las Vegase ir dalyvavo Madison Square Garden sode. Tačiau, tai yra jo pirmasis palapinių Las Vegaso Cinco-de-Mayo savaitgalio ekstravagancija.



ANKSČIAU bijau

Alvarez: (12/15/18) - Alvarezas sėkmingai debiutavo vidutinio svorio kategorijoje sunaikindamas žaidimą, tačiau per tris raundus pralenkė Rocky Fieldingą. Alvarezas nubaudė Fieldingo kūną, balais keturis parbloškimų, ir baigdamas jį parašo kairiuoju kabliuku prie kepenų.

Jacobs:
(10/27/18) - Jacobsas sunkiai susidūrė su nenugalėtu, bet nepažįstamu Serhiy Derevianchenko, laimėjęs 12 ratų išskaidytą sprendimą. Jacobs pelnė pirmojo rato nokdauną ir iškovojo daugiau smūgių per pirmyn ir atgal varžybas.



3 BEST PARAMETRAI

Alvarez:
* James Kirkland (5/9/15) - Fejerverkai buvo rodomi nuo atidarymo varpo, kai Kirklandas įtraukė Alvarezą į kamikaze ataką. Alvarezas atrėmė ir surengė pirmojo turo nokdauną bei užbaigė kovą 3rd apvalus vaizdinga dešine ranka.

* Liam Smith (9/17/16) - Alvarezas metodiškai palaužė anksčiau nenugalėtą Smithą, nuo pat pradžių kontroliuodamas kovą. Alvarezas įmušė nokdaunus 7oji ir 8oji raundų prieš baigiant laidą kairiuoju kabliuku prie kepenų 9oji turas.

* Carlos Baldomir (9/18/10) - Alvarezas buvo dvidešimtmetis vunderkindas, prieš Baldomirą susidūręs su patvariu buvusiu pasaulio čempionu. Alvarezas sėkmingai boksavosi anksti ir naudodamasis savo greičio bei įgūdžių privalumais nušlavė pirmuosius penkis raundus. Tačiau įsimintinas buvo jo pasirodymas šeštoje vietoje. Alvarezas sukrėtė Baldomirą, kol galiausiai numetė su kairiu kabliu, teikiant jam sąmonės, kol jis nukentėjo motina ir sprendžiant jam savo viengimį nutraukimas nuostolių 16 metų karjerą.



Jacobs:
* Sergio Mora (9/9/16) - Jacobsas nušlavė visus ginčus iš savo pirmosios kovos, kuris baigėsi tuo, kad Mora susižeidė kulkšnį, išsklaidydamas jį revanšo rungtyje, pasibaigęs įspūdingu 7oji apvalus TKO. Jacobsas įmušė po nokdauną 4oji ir 5oji raundų prieš atidarant ir numetant Morą tris kartus 7oji turas, verčiantis sustabdyti.

* Petras Quillin (12/5/15) - Kovoje dėl Brooklyn Bragging Rights, Jacobsas pribloškė nenugalėtoją ir palankiai įvertino Quilliną a 1g apvalus TKO. Jacobsas anksti nusileido dešine ranka, siunčiant Kvilingą stulbinantį į virves. Tolesni pykčiai pasiuntė Quilliną per žiedą, kur teisėjas sustabdė kovą.

* Kalebas Truax (4/24/15) - Jacobsas dominavo „Truax“ su meistrišku pasirodymu 11 raundai, kontroliuodamas veiksmą sunkiu žandikauliu, ir vilkėdamas savo žaidimo varžovą. Patogiai į priekį eidamas į paskutinį turą, Jacobsas išsikrovė savo nusilpusį varžovą, kol teisėjas išgelbėjo jį nuo tolesnės bausmės.




RAKTAI į pergalę

Alvarez:
* Pradėkite greitai ir neleiskite Jacobsui pasitikėti savimi

* Nupjaukite žiedą ir priverskite Jacobsą kovoti uždarose erdvėse

* Eikite į kūną anksti ir dažnai



Jacobs:
* Norėdami išlaikyti Alvarez pusiausvyrą, naudokite tvirtą žandikaulį ir šoninį judesį

* Nusileiskite ką nors, kad anksčiau sulauktumėte Alvarezo pagarbos

* Negalima elgtis neapgalvotai







KLAUSIMAI

Alvarez:
* Ar perėjimas prie vidutinio svorio nutekės Alvarezą?

* Ar Alvarezas žiūri į Džeikobą?

* Ar Alvarezas nusivils, jei Jacobs naudos efektyvų šoninį judesį?


Jacobs:
* Ar Jacobs gali laimėti sprendimą Las Vegase?

* Ar Jacobs sugebės išnaudoti Alvarezo taktinius trūkumus?

* Kaip Jacobsas elgsis palaikydamas Alvarezo atmosferą?



PENECALE prognozavimo

Minia šurmuliuos prie atidaromo varpo. Alvarezas judės į priekį, rankas aukštyn, zonduodamas žandikauliu ir bandydamas pastatyti kojas. Jokūbas judės į šoną, užmaunant preliminarų strypą ir naudojant galvos apdangalus. Atsargus 1g raundas baigsis Alvarezui įžengus ir metus keletą sunkių kūno smūgių, dėl ko partizanų minia prasiveržė į džiaugsmus.

Alvarezas ir toliau darys spaudimą 2II ir 3rd suvaidina Jacobsą, siekdamas įtvirtinti savo žandikaulį, turėdamas daugiau valdžios. Jacobsas nusileis į veidą keliais sunkiais smūgiais, kai Alvarezas atsistatys dešinėmis rankomis per viršų. Jacobsas žengs kairiau, kad išvengtų kairio Alvarezo kablio prie kūno.

Veiksmas ir toliau stiprės per vidurinius raundus. Jokūbas tiesia dešine ranka seks jo žandikaulį. Alvarezas tupės ir naudos savo jėgas viduje, naudodamasis rankomis ir kabliukais ant rankų ir šonkaulių.

Alvarezas patirs šiek tiek paraudimą aplink akis, o Jacobsas parodys sveikinimus per liemenį. Alvarezą palaikanti minia aiktelės, kai Jacobs nusileis į dešinę sunkių dešinių rankų seriją 6oji apvalus, bet tada išsiverš į 7oji kai pasikeitus kairiais kabliukais pirmiausia pamatoma Alvarezo žemė, nusiųsdamas Jacobs'ą atgal į drobę.

Jacobsas pakils ir patvirtins teisėją Tony Weeks, kad jam viskas gerai. Alvarezas puls, užmetęs kairįjį kablį prie kūno ir galvos. Jokūbas atklys atgal, pastatė kojas, ir atsakykite dešine ranka ir laukiniu kairiuoju kabliu. Alvarezas nusileis kairįjį kabliuką į galvą, o Jacobsas nusileis, varpui baigiant raundą.

Minia bus laukinė, laukiant į 8oji turas, nujausdamas, kad „Alvarez“ gali baigtis pergale. Jacobs naudos šoninį judesį, kol jis išvalys galvą, zonduodamas žandikauliu, kad Alvarezas liktų toli. Alvarez will continue to look for the homerun punch, but Jacobs will stay out of range for the duration.

Visame 9oji ir 10oji raundai, Jacobs will be sufficiently recovered and willing to engage Alvarez, throwing more right hands, and increasing the tempo. Alvarez will land a series of thudding hooks to the body and Jacobs will counter with uppercuts on the inside.

The 11oji round will continue the intense action with both fighters having their moments. Alvarez will become inactive for stretches of the round, allowing Jacobs to again control the pace.

Going into the final round, Jacobs will know that he is in danger with the bout being so close. He will initiate the pressure on Alvarez and there will be some toe-to-toe exchanges. As Alvarez takes a deep breath, Jacobs will successfully back him on his heels with a jab, po kurio seka tiesi dešinioji ranka. Alvarezas riedės perforatoriumi ir kontras dešine ranka. Minia atsistos ant kojų, kai kovotojai apsikeis smūgiais ir apkabins paskutinį varpą.

Sprendimas bus vieningas, kai įmuš Dave Moretti ir Glennas Feldmanas 115-112 ir Steve'as Weisfeldas su platesne marža 117-110, visi - Sauliaus „Canelo“ Alvarezo naudai.

USA Boxing Alumni Association Profile: Jonas “Quietman” Ruizas

From the projects to owning boxing’s ultimate crown


COLORADO SPRINGS, Etapas. (Kovas 12, 2019) – From the projects to owning arguably the most respected individual title in sports, Jonas “Quietman” Ruizas remains the only Latino to capture the coveted world heavyweight title.

Ruizas, 47, is a proud Puerto-Rican American boxer who grew-up in a Chelsea, Masačusetsas. The two-time World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion, defeated USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Famer Evander Holyfield in the second of their three title fights, to secure for the first time, the world heavyweight crown.

Papuoštas mėgėjų boksininkas, Ruiz compiled a 50-5 įrašas, similar to his final pro record of 44-9-1 (30 Kos) tarp 1992-2010, including gold- medal performances at the All-New England Championships, USA Boxing National Championships and the Los Angeles Olympic Festival, which elevated him to the No. 1 light heavyweight position in the United States ratings.

Ruiz was also an outstanding all-around athlete at Chelsea High, particularly in football, in which he was an all-star. He started boxing at the age of seven, eventually developing his skills at the Somerville Boxing Club.

“Boxing was the only sport I figured I’d have a good chance of succeeding,” Ruizas (pictured here on far left) explained why he pursued boxing as opposed to football or another team sport. “The other sports you had to go to college, and I didn’t have the grades.”

Ruiz never looked back and no boxer ever got more out of their God-given skills than him. After winning his first tournament (PAL in New Jersey), he became part of the USA Team that traveled to Sweden to compete in a dual-meet.

“Outside of Puerto Rico (he lived there for 6-7 years in his early youth),” Ruiz remembered fondly. “I had never traveled outside of the United States. USA Boxing gave me an opportunity to travel there, Australija, Italy and all over the United States. Even more than how those experiences prepared me for the pro ranks, it gave me a taste of life experience, traveling to places I never would have been able to go to on my own. Amateur boxing also gave me structure and confidence in myself for when I turned pro. I also met so many different people, fighters and coaches, from all over the world.”

In addition to his aforementioned victory at the Los Angles Olympic Festival, which qualified him as a Team USA member to compete in the World Championships in Australia (gatavas 6oji pasaulyje), perhaps the highlight of his amateur career was defeating Torsten May, the 1992 Olympic gold medal winner from Germany, at a dual meet in Florida.

“My association with John goes back to 1990,” pridėta Al Valenti, USA Boxing Special Projects Consultant. “I was thrilled that a local kid was honing his skills in the boxing ring. John made an incredible impact on the National Amateur boxing scene in the early nineties; making it all the way to the Olympic Trials in Worcester (MA). Having been involved in the trials was extra special for me because John was such a great competitor and good kid. Boxing history will have a place for John Ruiz, not many survived 36 rounds with Evander. Being the first Latino World Heavyweight Champion was quite an accomplishment for “Quietman”.

Ruiz turned pro August 20, 1992, winning a four-round unanimous decision over Kevin Parker. During his pro career, he defeated top contemporary names such as Holyfield,James Thunder, Jerry Ballard, Fernely Felix, Kirk Johnson, Fres Oquendo, Andrew Golota ir Jameel McCline.

History was made March 3, 2013 Las Vegase, when he became only the second fighter to drop Holyfield en route to his WBA title-winning fight by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, earning him instant notoriety as the first Latino to hold the coveted world heavyweight title belt.

“I’m very proud to have accomplished that,” he continued, “but my main goal was to provide for my family and I always maintained that goal. Most fighters don’t succeed, but at the end of the day, that’s what pushed me. I don’t really think about being the only Latino to win the world heavyweight title, bet, when I hear people talk about it today, Aš manau, wow, I’m still the only Latino to do that.”

Several years ago, Ruiz opened a gym (Quietman Sportas Sporto salė) in Medford, MA, not too far from where he grew up in Chelsea and trained in Somerville. It has been a registered club member by USA Boxing since 2012, bet, dar svarbiau, it’s Ruiz’ way of giving back to amateur boxing.

“I felt there was a need to help more kids and give them an opportunity to get out of the house and do something productive and fun,” Ruiz commented. “They all have a chance to work on self confidence and one could possibly become world champion. I feel obligated to help kids because I remember years ago when I was in the same position. They need guidance. If I didn’t have all the support I did growing up, I wouldn’t have turned out the way I did. I want to help kids understand how to accomplishment their goals.”

Šiandien, John lives in Palm City, Floridos. He’s a correctional officer for the Martin County Sheriff Department. “Winning the world title twice as a pro was awesome,” Ruiz concluded, “but I definitely enjoyed the amateurs more than the pros, even though I would have loved to have represented the USA in the Olympics. USA Boxing opened up my mind to different things, taking me off the streets of Chelsea to made me feel……special.”

John Ruiz has always preached, “Follow Your Dreams!” and he’s still doing that today.

The evenly matched showdown of top-ranked heavyweights pits boxing’s two largest champions against each other in the most significant heavyweight fight in the United States since Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson 2002. In addition to physical stature – Wilder is 6-foot-7, Fury 6-foot-9 – both are among boxing’s greatest showmen, with outsized personalities and heavyweight charisma.

 

 

 

“Wilder vs. Fury is a throwback to the glory days of heavyweight boxing – a 50/50 matchup between two larger-than-life athletes with towering physical frames and captivating personalities,"Sakė Stephenas Espinoza, Prezidentas, Sports and Event Programming for Showtime Networks Inc. “Deontay Wilder has proven he’s the hardest puncher in boxing. Tyson Fury‘s size and skill set present a challenge unlike any other in the heavyweight division. No one knows what will happen when these two giants step into the ring, and that’s what makes this fight so fascinating.”

 

 

 

Wilder vs. Fury is the latest major heavyweight event to take place in the Southland, expanding an already deep history of heavyweight boxing featuring Hall of Famers Joe Louis, Muhammadą Ali, Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko, the last of whom faced off at STAPLES Center in 2003.

“I can’t wait to fight Tyson Fury in the biggest fight in the heavyweight division and all of boxing,” said Wilder. “I have tremendous respect for Fury for agreeing to leave England and come to the U.S. to challenge me. I’m the WBC champion, he’s the lineal champion, and the winner of this fight will show the world who is ‘The Man’ in the heavyweight division. As much as I respect Fury, I fear no man and fully intend to knock him out like every man that I’ve ever faced in the ring.”

 

 

 

“People talk about me only having two fights since my layoff, but that doesn’t bother me at all,” Fury said. “This is the Tyson Fury show. It always has been. This is my era, and I proved that when I beat Klitschko in his own backyard. Is Wilder the biggest puncher I have faced? You don’t know that until you are on the floor. It is all about not getting hit in this fight. Until someone beats me, I am the king of the heavyweight division. Long live the king.”

 

 

 

“There is no better place in the world than STAPLES Center to have these two giant heavyweights, WBC champion Deontay Wilder and lineal champion Tyson Fury, clashing in an epic championship fight,” said Lee Zeidman, Prezidentas, Kabės centras. “This is the kind of match that will add to the rich tradition of Southland boxing and we are incredibly proud to host it.’’

 

 

 

After winning bronze at the 2008 Olimpinės žaidynės, Wilder knocked out his first 32 professional opponents inside of four rounds to earn a shot at WBC Heavyweight Champion Bermane Stiverne on Jan. 17, 2015. The Tuscaloosa, Ala., native defeated Stiverne via near-shutout decision, going the distance for the first time in his career to become America’s first heavyweight world champion since Shannon Briggs in 2007.

 

 

 

As WBC champion, Wilder has knocked out all seven of his world title challengers, including a devastating first-round knockout of Stiverne in a 2017 rematch. Savo paskutiniame kovos, Wilder survived the toughest test of his career in undefeated top-five ranked world title challenger Luis Ortiz. Wilder knocked out the Cuban slugger in a leading candidate for 2018 Kova Metų.

 

 

 

In Fury, Wilder will face his second consecutive top-five heavyweight in what experts have set as the closest odds of his professional career.

 

 

 

Įniršis, who was born in 1988 and named after then-heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, competed as an amateur for both England and Ireland before turning professional in 2008. The self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” dominated the competition early in his career to earn a world title shot against Wladimir Klitschko, who had ruled over the heavyweight division for nine consecutive years.

 

 

 

Fury shocked the world with a unanimous decision win over Klitschko in 2015, limiting the future Hall of Famer to the worst offensive output of his professional career. Subsequent battles with drugs, mental health and weight gain, along with a failure to face his mandatory challengers, cost Fury his belts and led to a nearly three-year hiatus from the sport.

 

 

 

Fury was triumphant in his long-awaited return on June 9 against Sefer Seferi, leading to a second comeback fight less than 75 days later against former world title challenger Francesco Pianeta. Weighing within 11 pounds of his fighting weight when he dethroned Klitschko, Fury displayed prime movement, hand speed and footwork in a shutout decision to earn the opportunity to become a two-time heavyweight world champion on December 1.

Jozuė vs. Takam was contested before a record 78,000 gerbėjai, the largest ever for an indoor boxing event and was the first of back-to-back heavyweight world title fights airing live on SHOWTIME. Kitas Šeštadienis, Lapkritis. 4, WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder headlines a three-fight telecast when he faces former world champion Bermane Stiverne at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Creative combinations and some inside fighting rarely seen from the rangy Joshua opened up a cut over Takam’s right eye and floored the challenger in the 4oji. Vėliau, Joshua opened another gash over the left eye but a bloody and battered Takam continued to press forward. Takam was able to land some significant punches in the middle rounds but not enough to take Joshua off his game.

Be 10oji, after Joshua landed several big punches including a left-right combination that rocked the courageous challenger, referee Phil Edwards stepped in and stopped the fight at 1:34.

“I kept my composure,” said Joshua when asked about a head butt in the second round that may have broken the champion’s nose. “We will get my nose cracked back into place and then we can get back to training.”

When SKY Sports’ ringside reporter Andy Scott asked the beloved champion about a unification bout with fellow undefeated champion Wilder, Joshua said, “It has to happen. It has to happen for sure. When it comes down to it, the IBF, IBO and WBA have mandatory challengers. I can’t just fight any Joe Blow I want. I have to fight the obligations as champion and once I fulfill those, my door is open to fight anyone, be it Wilder or anyone else.

“Everyone saw how hard it took to get the belts,” he continued. “I am not giving them up for anyone.”

When asked about fighting overseas in America or elsewhere, Joshua replied to the delight of the U.K. gerbėjai, “As I said, it’s not my decision what happens outside the ring… but look at what boxing is doing. We are getting people coming in from all around the U.K. and from different countries. I think we should keep on boxing right here in the U.K.”

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast begins live at 5 p.m. IR/2 p.m. PT from sold-out Principality Stadium in Cardiff where an estimated 78,000 fans will converge for the largest indoor event in boxing history.

 

Jozuė, who went past the 10oji round for the first time with a sensational knockout of Wladimir Klitschko on Balandis 29, promised conditioning wasn’t an issue.

 

“I’ve been doing a lot more running. Maybe I’m starting to fill out as I get older and I’m starting to find my natural weight,” Joshua said. “Who knows what it is. I definitely feel a lot fitter than I have in previous fights.”

 

The referee for Šeštadienio contest is Phil Edwards and the judges scoring ringside are Michael Alexander (Anglija), Pawel Kardyni (Lenkija) and Ron McNair (Niujorkas).

CARDIFF, WALES (Spalis. 26, 2017) – Unified Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua and IBF mandatory challenger Carlos Takam faced off at the National Museum in Cardiff ketvirtadienį during the final press conference for their heavyweight blockbuster šį šeštadienįlive on SHOWTIME from sold-out Principality Stadium.

 

Joshua and Takam will square off in front of an all-time indoor boxing record of 78,000 fans on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING beginning at 5 p.m. IR/2 p.m. PT in the U.S.

 

Jozuė (19-0, 19 Kos) returns for the first time since unifying the heavyweight division via knockout in a leading Fight of the Year thriller with long-reigning kingpin Wladimir Klitschko this past April.

 

“We’re going to have to put that Klitschko win to the side at some stage because boxing is unforgiving,” Joshua said ketvirtadienį. “That was that. This is now. Carlos is a completely different animal than Klitschko.

 

“Who knows what’s going to happen in that ring Šeštadienis. This division is unpredictable. You saw I got tired in the fifth round against Klitschko. Am I going to find out I’m only a five round fighter? Takam is tough and can go the distance. He’s definitely going to take me into late waters and that’s where it’s going to be interesting.”

 

Takam (35-3-1, 27 Kos) has experience in close bouts with reigning WBO Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker and former challenger Alexander Povetkin. The 2004 Olympian from Cameroon enters the contest having boxed more than three times the professional rounds as Joshua.

 

“My experience will help me win the fight,” Takam said. “I’ve been in there with a champion. When we get in the ring it’s just two fighters. Only at the end of the fight will we know who the real world champion is.

 

“I saw Joshua go down. I saw he has a weak point, and we’ve been working on targeting that.”

 

Joshua and Takam meet 24 years after Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno squared off in the first all-British heavyweight world championship in front of more than 25,000 fans at the National Stadium in Cardiff. There will be more than 78,000 at the new National Stadium – Principality Stadium – šeštadienį.

 

Here’s what the fighters had to say ketvirtadienį:

 

Anthony Joshua

 

“Fighting is all I do. It’s all I know. It’s an honor to be defending these belts. I don’t always like to talk about the belts because I’ve always been a fighter before that and I’ve always had the ambition of being a talented fighter before I became champion. I’m just looking forward to getting in the ring and handling business.

 

“We’re going to have to put that Klitschko win to the side at some stage because boxing is unforgiving. That was that. This is now. Carlos is a completely different animal than Klitschko.

 

“I do know that I’m willing to do whatever it takes to win. In terms of style, technique and preparation, it’s completely different. Every camp is completely different. My mindset is completely different. All will be revealed Šeštadienis. Best of luck to both men and the best man will win.

 

"[Trainer Rob McCracken] has never just trained me for one style of opponent. He’s trained me to be the best me. He’s trained me to be ready, to be fit, to be focused and to adapt new skills to my boxing. No matter who my opponent is, I’ll always be in good condition to compete against any champion or any contender in the world.

 

“We’re in the business of providing really good fights. We’re not here to tip and tap and run for 12 raundai. We’re here to get stuck in.

 

“I know what it’s like to be the non-champion fighting for a championship. When there’s that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, it’s going to be competitive. This is heavyweight championship boxing. Both of us are on the same elite level so you’re going to see an elite fight.

 

“Who knows what’s going to happen in that ring Šeštadienis. This division is unpredictable. You saw I got tired in the fifth round against Klitschko. Am I going to find out I’m only a five round fighter? Takam is tough and can go the distance. He’s definitely going to take me into late waters and that’s where it’s going to be interesting.

 

“With [Takam’s] style and his strength, I wish I came into this fight heavier so we could just stand there and slug it out with each other. Why’d I come in lighter? I thought I was fighting Pulev – a real amateur-style boxer. I had to stay off the line, jab with him and match his speed. Takam is a completely different style of fighter so I might have come in a bit heavier if I knew I was fighting Takam.

 

“I’m just a reflection of hard work. The UK boxing scene is quite grassroots. I still go to my amateur club. Just before this championship fight, I was training with all the amateurs – kids that were just 10 metų. You can only achieve what you see, so when they’re training with Olympians and professional World Champions, they’re inspired. That’s real nice to be the champion and still keep it real training with the grassroots athletes.”

 

Carlos Takam

“My experience will help me win the fight. I’ve been in there with a champion. When we get in the ring it’s just two fighters. Only at the end of the fight will we know who the real world champion is.

 

“I saw Joshua go down. I saw he has a weak point, and we’ve been working on targeting that.”

 

“I’m going to box my way. I’m going to come forward, fight my fight.

 

“I believe in myself. I’m confined. It wouldn’t be a shock if I won because of the confidence I have.

 

“When I heard about the fight, I was already in preparation for another fight so I had to completely change the way I trained to be ready for this fight. I’m coming out on the 28oji to win the fight.

 

“All I can do is invite you to see the outcome of the fight on the 28oji. I’m coming out to win.

 

“I know it’s going to be a great fight. This will change my life in boxing but not from the person I am.”

Unified Champion Joshua Defends On SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Live At 5 p.m. IR / 2 p.m. PT From Principality Stadium In Cardiff, Velsas

CARDIFF, WALES (Spalis. 25, 2017) – Unified Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua and IBF mandatory challenger Carlos Takam worked out in front of approximately 1,400 fans on Wednesday at St. David’s Hall in Cardiff, just three days before they square off šį šeštadienį gyvena Showtime.

 

The near-capacity crowd at the National Concert Hall of Wales serves as a prelude to the record-breaking audience expected at Principality Stadium šeštadienį where more than 75,000 fans will set boxing’s all-time indoor attendance record at the retractable roof facility.

 

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast begins live at 5 p.m. IR/2 p.m. PT from ringside in Cardiff as Joshua (19-0, 19 Kos) returns for the first time since unifying the heavyweight division. The undefeated British sensation picked up the WBA belt to go along with his IBF crown on Balandis 29 in a leading Fight of the Year thriller with Wladimir Klitschko.

 

“We’re going to have a war. We’re going to wear our hearts on our sleeves,” Joshua said. “This is what fighting’s about. With me, it ain’t about all this other stuff that goes on outside the ring. When people come to watch me box, they know they’re going to have a good time. They know they’re going to see knockouts.”

 

Takam (35-3-1, 27 Kos), a 2004 Olympian from Cameroon, packs a lengthy resume as he looks to shock the world and become heavyweight champion.

 

“He’s a world champion, he’s earned his belt,” said the 36-year-old Takam. “But I’m coming here to take it.”

 

Jozuė vs. Takam is the first of two consecutive heavyweight world bouts on SHOWTIME. Kitas Šeštadienis, Lapkritis. 4, WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder will defend his title in a rematch with Bermane Stiverne, the only opponent to last the distance with the American champion in 38 profesinės seansų.

 

Here’s what the fighters had to say on Wednesday:

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“I’ve never been nervous about fighting but I think this stadium is going to be different. There’s a closed roof. I know the energy and the atmosphere is going to be bouncing up and down off the roof and it’s going to be nothing like before. Kaip sakiau, if Šeštadienis night is a little bit like the people today here at the public workout, it’s going to be phenomenal.

 

“This is what fighting’s about – different styles and different types of opponents. But the best opponent you can work on is yourself so I’ve definitely been improving myself. I can talk about a million things I’ve been working on but at the end of the day, as soon as that first bell rings, that’s when it matters.

 

“We’re going to have a war. We’re going to wear our hearts on our sleeves. This is what fighting’s about. With me, it ain’t about all this other stuff that goes on outside the ring. When people come to watch me box, they know they’re going to have a good time. They know they’re going to see knockouts. They’re going to see a bit of blood and a bit of respect after.

 

“I think the UK has been sending a statement for a long time. It wasn’t so long ago that U.K. heavyweights or boxers weren’t getting a look. Dabar, all the Americans are talking about U.K. kovotojai. We’ve definitely been sending a statement over to the States for a long time.

 

"[Joseph Parker and Deontay Wilder] can watch me a million times but it’s so different when you get in these ropes. When you get in here, you can watch somebody a million times, but it’s a different challenge when you face someone face-to-face.

 

“We have to deliver. The fans know what they want, I know what they want. It’s my job to deliver. I haven’t got to say it – I know already and the fans know. Let’s just deliver Šeštadienis night and we’ll look forward to a promising 2018.”

 

On opponent Takam, who became the mandatory challenger after an injury to Kubrat Pulev:

“First and foremost, massive credit to Eddie [Hearn] because he’s done amazing work. He was ahead of the game and he’s managed to allow this show to go ahead. Credit to Carlos Takam, a true athlete who stays fit all year round. He’s not someone who just trains for a fight, he seems to keep himself conditioned and that’s what we like. He’s the same as myself. And I think – what would I do? Would I give up the IBF belt? Hell no. I worked too hard for it.”

 

CARLOS TAKAM:

“I’m ready for this fight, I’m ready for everything he has. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. We were in the gym getting ready, hoping we would get this chance.

 

“He’s a world champion, he’s earned his belt. But I’m coming here to take it. You have to defend your title, and I’m not going to make it easy. I’m going to make this the fight of the year.

 

“If I can do things differently from what other boxers have done against him, I’ll have a chance to win by knockout.

 

“A lot of people have asked me if I see any weaknesses in Joshua’s style. All I can say is we will see on fight night.

 

“I’m not bothered about fighting in front of 80,000 žmonės, the only people in the ring will be myself and Joshua, nothing else matters except us.”
