STIL
Wilder:
A wild-swinging, often-sloppy fighter with long arms and fight-changing power in both fists, Wilder likes to set the range with his lead hand and follow it with a variety of power punches. He carries his power late into his fights and is capable of scoring a knockout at any time.
Fury:
A confident, self-assured, and sometimes cocky fighter, Fury has nimble moves and quickness for such a large fighter. He combines good footwork with upper-body movement and ability to box either orthodox or southpaw, keeping opponents off-balance and setting up his own offensive attack.
THEIR FIRST BOUT
Wilder-Fury I:Fury opened the bout with effective movement, keeping Wilder off balance and unable to land anything significant. Wilder was able to land several hard jabs in the 4th omgang, trickling blood from Fury’s nose. Fury spent time in the mid rounds as a southpaw and found success. Wilder scored a knockdown in the 9thround but his follow-up attack left him fatigued, allowed Fury to regain the momentum through the 11thround. The memorable 12thround saw Wilder break through and land a right hand and left hook combination. Fury fell hard to the canvas, flat on his back. He amazingly rose at the count of 9 and was outlanding Wilder as the final round concluded. Alejandro Rochin scored 115-111 Wilder, Robert Tapper scored 114-112 Fury, and Phil Edwards scored 113-113.
STYRKER
Wilder:
* Power – The detonation at the end of Wilder’s fists, primarily is right hand, is of nuclear proportions. While his left hand carries substantial pop in it, it is Wilder’s right hand that is seen as maybe the most devastating punch in boxing today. He can end fights by landing his right hand straight down the middle, arcing it over the top, or splitting the guard as an uppercut.
* Conditioning – Early in his career, when he was ending all of his fights within a few rounds, there were question marks if Wilder would fade in the later rounds. He has proven that he can fight equally as hard in the late rounds and capable of a knockout until the final bell.
* Athleticism – Wilder combines a rare blend of size, fart, magt, and athletic ability where is easy to imagine him being dominant in any type of athletic environment.
Fury:
* Movement – For a man with the size and physique that resembles a silverback, Fury moves with the grace and agility of a ballet dancer. He is light on his feet and possesses shifty upperbody movement that is uncanny for someone so large.
* Confidence – Fury is supremely confident in himself and believes in his ability. He shows little or no fear in the ring. His self-assured charismatic nature gives him a psychological advantage.
* Resilient – Whether it was climbing off the canvas against Wilder, overcoming a horrific cut against Wallin, or battling against depression and substance abuse, Fury has shown a toughness and resiliency that are to be admired.
SVAGHEDER
Wilder:
* Sloppy – Wilder shows so much faith in his power that he is frequently wild and sloppy with his punches and footwork. He often times looks very amateurish in the ring.
* Trouble With Boxers – Fighters who use good movement and boxing ability trouble Wilder. He struggles setting his feet and is often a step behind. He was trailing Luis Ortiz in both fights and was outclassed for most of his first fight with Fury.
* Chin – The few times that Wilder was seriously chin-checked, he showed some flaws in his durability. Ortiz had him badly hurt and close to a knockout loss.
Fury:
* Distractions – Fury is loving his new-found fame and talking WWE and MMA. He split with his trainer Ben Davidson and is calling his own shots. Fury also has spells in the ring where he loses focus and he has found himself on the canvas more than once during a lapse in concentration.
* Personal Life – It is well-documented Fury’s past personal demons with depression and substance abuse, along with a weight gain to over 400 lbs. While his triumphs over those demons is admirable, the lasting physical effects cannot be denied.
* Skin– It’s only been five months since Fury suffered a terrible gash over his right eye against Otto Wallin, requiring 47 stitches. While doctors have deemed the cut sufficiently healed, his tender skin could reopen at the most inopportune time.
TIDLIGERE BOUT
Wilder: (11/23/19) – Wilder again scored a come-from-behind knockout against Luis Oritz. After being outboxed for the majority of the first six rounds, Wilder set his range against a tiring Ortiz and landed a pulverizing right hand which resulted in a one-punch knockout.
Fury:
(9/14/19) – Fury survived a bloody contest with the undefeated but unknown Otto Wallin. Fury suffered a cut over his right eye in the 3rdround and the blood clearly affected his vision. Despite the impairment, Fury still controlled the action and hurt Wallin several times en route to a decision victory.
3 Bedste præstationer
Wilder:
* Arthur Pin (1/16/16) – After falling behind early, Wilder took over in the 4thround and started to settle down and control the action. A single right hand in the 9thround sent Szpilka down and unconscious, den 2016 Knockout of the Year.
* Gold Cup (1/17/15) – Wilder answered questions about his stamina by going the full 12 rounds for the first time in his career and capturing the WBC title in the process. Wilder utilized his long jab and kept Stiverne at bay with his underrated skillset.
* Luis Ortiz (3/3/18) – Wilder survived some scary moments against the oft-avoided Cuban veteran before prevailing by 10thround knockout. Wilder was troubled by Ortiz’s boxing skills early before knocking him down in the 5thround. An Ortiz rally in the 7thhad Wilder seriously hurt but Wilder was able to regroup and score the knockout a few rounds later.
Fury:
* Wladimir Klitschko (11/25/15) – Fury went into Klitschko’s backyard and wrested the unified and lineal heavyweight championships via unanimous decision. While the bout was a cautious affair, Fury was able to outwork Klitschko with superior footwork, bevægelse, and a higher punch output.
* Derek Chisora (11/29/14) – Fury dominated the rematch with his British rival, boxing from a distance, switching between orthodox and southpaw, and punishing his adversary until the corner stopped the fight after 10 one-sided rounds.
* Deontay Wilder (12/1/18) – With the exception of two knockdowns and some curious judging, Fury was in control for most of the bout. He avoided Wilder’s punches and landed effective counters, making Wilder looked confused and off-balance in the process.
KEYS til sejr
Wilder:
* Utilize his jab and negate Fury’s awkward style
* Keep his power punches short and compact
* Don’t get mesmerized by Fury’s upperbody movement
Fury:
* Change the pace and keep Wilder guessing
* Use lateral movement to keep Wilder from setting his feet
* Do not get cocky against the ropes
SPØRGSMÅL
Wilder:
* Can Wilder handle Fury’s unorthodox movement?
* Will Wilder employ a better gameplan?
* Will Wilder become frustrated?
Fury:
* Will Fury try too hard for the knockout?
* Is Fury totally focused on boxing?
* Is his cut eye susceptible to reinjury?
PENECALE forudsigelse
Both combatants are exceptional showmen and their respective ring entrances will have the crowd abuzz. The electricity will be at a fever pitch at the opening bell. With their familiarity, there will be less of a feeling out process than their first encounter. Fury will be on his toes moving forward and Wilder will try to time his advances and land counter punches. At the end of the 1st omgang, Fury will taunt Wilder and there will be an exchange of words.
Fury’s constant movement and single punches will trouble Wilder as his counter punches will find mostly empty air. The following rounds will be an exciting game of cat and mouse with the smaller Wilder in the role of the cat, futility trying to corner the larger Wilder.
Wilder will find success with his jab in the 6th og 7throunds and a looping right hand will catch Fury on top of the head, knocking him off balance to the canvas. Fury will rise, wink at his corner, and come bouncing back into action. The excitement will have Wilder swinging wildly and falling to the canvas himself after missing overexaggerated right hand.
With Wilder seemingly arm-weary from his punch output the previous round, Fury will turn southpaw and land several hard right hands, then bounce out of range of any counter punches.
Fury’s movement and higher workrate will carry the action through the championship rounds, leading him again to an apparent lead going into the final round.
The decision this time will be unanimous with Dave Moretti and Glenn Feldman both scoring 115-112 and Steve Weisfeld a shade closer at 114-113, all in favor of “The Gypsy King” Tyson Fury.

"Jeg ser på det som muligheden for at vise folk, hvem jeg er, og hvornår jeg vinder denne kamp, det bliver begyndelsen på en fantastisk boksekarriere, hvor jeg kan brødføde min familie og give min søn alt, hvad han har brug for og fortjener."

Colorado Springs, Lap. (Februar 20, 2020) – From the mean streets of East Los Angeles to a berth on Team USA is a remarkable achievement for 19-year-old flyweightAnthony Herrera, who recently was selected to be a member of the 2020 Olympic Games Tokyo Boxing Qualification Team.
“Since I was very young,” Herrera spoke about growing up in East LA, “my parents always kept me in sports. Being so occupied with sports was actually a distraction from what was going on around the city. So, I never had time to get into trouble and my parents kept me away from a bad lifestyle. Once I started boxing, I took it seriously, staying focused and setting goals. I was a little older at that time and whether or not I wanted to partake in boxing or wanted to make a career out of it was all up to me, and I always had my parents full support. Boxing has been a big part of my life. I’m always looking forward to the next workout or anything boxing related. It’s part of my image at this point.”
For nu, selv, Herrera is preparing with his teammates at the United States Olympics and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for the America’s Qualification Tournament, March 26-April 3, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Herrera will qualify to represent his country at the Olympics by finishing among the top five in Buenos Aires, or first six placers at the World Qualifier, Maj 13-14, i Paris, France.
“I thrive under pressure,” Herrera said. “I don’t let pressure get to me mentally so much that it negatively impacts my performance. It makes me perform better when I’m in the ring. I’ve been under pressure my whole boxing career. Not only has it made me a better fighter in certain situations that are intimidating, but also a stronger person overall. Going to Argentina is no different, the nerves are still there, but so is my determination to get to Tokyo.”
A 2018 National PAL and 2019 Western Elite Qualifier champion, Herrera recently finished second at the 2020 US. Olympic Team Trials and third at the 2020 Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.
“The amateur boxing accomplishment I’m most proud of is making the United States Qualification Team as a flyweight,” bemærkede han. “It was tough to make it here and knowing that I overcame the obstacles I faced on this long journey to where I’m at now makes me very happy. I can truly say I earned it.
“My first International boxing match (Strandja) was a little different from what I’m used to. The equipment we used and fighting without headgear created more risk when fighting, but I had fun in my first international fight. I already have the feel for that environment and am more comfortable now.
“I really enjoy training in Colorado Springs with my teammates, because it’s a great experience that only the best athletes get. I love training at home as well, but there are less distractions in Colorado Springs. I get to focus 100-percent on my craft and get to travel more.”
Herrera, who describes his style as a “swarmer”, applying pressure and breaking down his opponent, is living the dream.
“Fighting in the Olympics was always big for me, but getting a gold medal is my dream,” he added. “I’ve always wanted it because no one can ever take that away from me, and the story and work that is put behind a gold medal is priceless. In my opinion it is harder than winning a world title in professional boxing. Being this close to the Olympics, I’m proud of myself but not satisfied. I know that I still have work to do and I’m taking one step at a time. The next step for me is to qualify for the Olympics at the Olympic Qualifier.”
Herrera attributes some of his success to learning from former and contemporary boxers, implementing any techniques that they use into his style, Herunder, for example, the footwork and head movement ofJulio Cesar ChavezSr., ogMike Tyson’s set-ups from the body to head.
Tokyo is a long way from East LA for Anthony Herrera.

Alamo vs. Castaneda er co-promoveret af All-Star Boxing, som promoverer Alamo og begivenheden, og Castanedas promotor, Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boksningskampagner.
"Dette er den største kamp i Kendos karriere til dato," DIREKTØR & MedstifterKeith Veltre sagde. "Han er typen fighter, der ikke viger tilbage fra nogen og ved, hvad der skal til for at vinde. Kendo træner hårdt, og vi er helt overbeviste om, at han vil komme hjem med sejren."
Den 26-årige Castaneda, der er rangeret Nej. 15 af World Boxing Organization (WBO), vil tage imod WBO nr. 8-bedømt Alamo, den forsvarende NABO super letvægtsmester, i 10-runders hovedbegivenhed.
Castaneda erobrede det ledige North American Boxing Association (Også) krone for et år siden, tager en 10-runders afgørelse fra tidligere ubesejredeGilbert Venegas, Jr.(10-0), og fulgte det med en imponerende 10-runders enstemmig afgørelse over dominikanske veteranerEudy Berbardo (24-3).

Træningslejrnotater
(citater fra Kendo Castaneda)
Træningslejr: ”Alt her har været godt. Jeg er klar til at rocke og komme tilbage i ringen. Jeg har ingen problemer med at få vægt til denne kamp. Mine sparringpartnere er lokale fyre, nogle fordele, og andre amatører. Jeg kan godt lide at hjælpe kommende krigere, der ønsker at blive professionelle. De har naturlig hastighed ved 18, 19 år, men deres styrke er ikke fuldt udviklet, endnu. De lærer, og jeg får godt arbejde. Min nej. 1 sparrings partner, Limon, har haft mere end 100 amatørkampe. Hans stil svarer til Alamos. Han er høj og lang, men ikke så magtfuld som Alamo. Han kaster godt stød og kasser godt, som vil hjælpe mig, når jeg kæmper med Alamo.
Yomar alamo: ”Han kæmper meget med sin bagfod. Han kan godt lide at bokse og er en god kontrapuncher.
Han er ubesejret, men hvem ved, hvordan han vil kæmpe? Jeg kan godt lide blændende blænding, og jeg lærer hurtigt, hvad jeg er interesseret i. ”
Kæmper i Alamos baghave: ”Jeg er slet ikke bekymret for det. Min første kamp med RJJ Boxing var i Las Vegas mod en lokal fighter, Chuy gutierrez, og jeg vandt den kamp. Jeg har ikke noget imod at kæmpe i min modstanders baghave, og jeg vænner mig til det. Min sidste kamp var i Reno mod en californisk fighter, der boede meget tættere på Reno end jeg i San Antonio. Og jeg kæmpede med en lokal fighter i New Hampshire, da jeg kæmpede med bare knogler. ”
Hvordan forestiller du dig denne kamp: ”Alamo vil gå ind i kampen og tænke, at det bliver en boksekamp, næsten som en udstilling, der starter kampen. Men jeg kommer stærkt ind, som en gadekamp, banker ham rundt. Jeg fanger ham med nogle overraskelser, kaster hårde slag. I tredje eller fjerde runde, Jeg begynder at bokse mere. Så bliver det for meget for ham, og jeg tager ham ud i ottende eller niende runde."
Kampens betydning: "Jeg tror, jeg muligvis vil få en verdensmesterskabskamp med en imponerende sejr. Jeg er en sjælden, gammeldags bokser.”
Forudsigelse: "Dommeren vil annoncere, 'Og den nye NABO-mester...'"
