GERVONTA DAVIS AND BADOU JACK DISCUSS UPCOMING DECEMBER 28 MATCHUPSDavis To Face Yuriorkis Gamboa For WBA Lightweight World Championship While Jack Challenges WBA Light Heavyweight Titlist Jean Pascal Live On SHOWTIME® From State Farm Arena In Atlanta

ZER: Gervonta Davis eta Badou Jack met with members of the media last Saturday in Las Vegas to discuss their upcoming matchups taking place Saturday, Abendua 28 live on SHOWTIME at the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in a special year-end Premier Boxing Champions event.

Two-time super featherweight champion Davis will take on former unified world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA Lightweight World Championship as the 24-year-old Davis looks to conquer another division. In the co-main event of a special holiday SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® telecast, former two-division champion Jack will challenge WBA Light Heavyweight World Champion Jean Pascal.

Gertaera sarrerak, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are available through Ticketmaster.com.

Also participating in Saturday’s luncheon at Wolfgang Puck at MGM Grand were Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather Promozioak zuzendari nagusia, and Stephen Espinoza, Lehendakaria, Kirol & Gertaera Programazioa, Showtime Sareak Inc.

Here’s what the fighters and executives had to say:

GERVONTA DAVIS:
Thoughts about Gamboa and moving up in weight:
We know Gamboa is a veteran and that he’s had a lot of wars, so we know we have a tough fight. He’s definitely dangerous. He can hit. Borrokatu ahal zuen.

His last fight he made 134, so we know he can get bigger than me at that weight. I’m going into this knowing he’s a bigger fighter than me. I’m just going to bring my power and capitalize on that weight class and becoming world champion.

I believe I’m one of the top fighters in the world, but I don’t compare myself to other fighters. I just go out and get the job done.

Atlanta is my second home. I’m confident I’ll sell it out.

On his ability and uniqueness as a fighter:
I come from a different cloth than these other guys. I’ve been through everything in my life. A lot of people haven’t experienced what I have. If I ever get beat it would have to be by someone who’s been through what I have been through. It can’t be anyone who’s just been training all their life.

Every time I step in the ring I’m willing to leave it all in there. A lot of people haven’t seen my full skills because I haven’t fought an opponent that has brought them out.

On his potential in the sport:
The boxing world hasn’t seen my true potential as a fighter, they’ve just seen my power. I’m the type of boxer where if you don’t belong in there with me, you won’t be in there too long. Some fighters like to take their time. I’m the type, if I know you’re not on my level, I’m going to show it. The world will see. I’ll fight anybody.

JACK Badou:
On his upcoming matchup against Pascal:
“Borroka hau hunkituta nago. I actually called Pascal the day before his last fight and let him know I was rooting for him. But this is business at the end of the day. I’m coming to take back my title.

On how he feels at this age:
I feel like a young 36 urte zaharra. I live a clean life. I’m always in the gym training and I try not to take any punishment. I have a couple of years left and I’m more motivated now than ever. I needed that little break. I hadn’t had a break since I was an amateur twenty years ago. I took time to relax with the family and eat good food. Now I’m hungry.

On his last performance against Marcus Browne:
Everyone who saw me in my last fight could see I was flat. My fighting instinct kicked in at that point. He was fighting a dead man.

On the Davis vs. Gamboa matchup:
“Borroka handi bat da. Gamboa is a little older, but he looked good in his last fight. I’m a big, big fan of Tankthe way he fights, his speed, Bere athleticism, Guztia. He has star power. He was on my undercard, now I’m on his. He’s going to bring great things to the sport and as long as he stays focused, he’s going to be a superstar. He’s already a superstar.

LEONARD ELLERBE:
On Davisposition and progression in the sport:
We’re going to show everyone how he’s going to become the biggest star in the sport. In 2020 we’re going to blow this out of the water. We’ve been able to think outside the box. That’s how you grow the sport. We’ve made a concerted effort to cross him over to the mainstream; working with the Baltimore Ravens, his parade, now Atlanta.

Our plan is to make the biggest and best fights out there. We’re going to call the shots and it’s going to be on our terms, and we’ll let everyone know when that happens. Everyone wants to fight Tank. There’s one common thing when you talk about 126, 130, 135, eta, orain, 140. There’s one name that’s common among the fighters and that’s Tank. This is going to be a great journey and you better get on it now.

If he can get past Gamboa on December 28, then in 2020 he’s going into that pay-per-view world. When you have that kind of star power and you’re thinking outside of the box, not just boxing fans, we’re going to make the biggest fights out there in the world.

On Badou Jack:
Badou’s a promoter’s dream. He’s a guy who gives you no problems. He’s out there doing wonderful things for himself and his family. He’s doing so much to help so many others. He’s using his platform in the right way. It’s an honor to work with a fighter like him.

I always knew he was a great talent and sometimes you can find the diamonds in the rough. Everyone’s always looking at the guys coming out of the Olympics. We saw him in the gym and he really messed a guy up. We had an eye on him and we worked out a deal with Lou [DiBella] and the rest is history.

We had one setback, but everything happens for a reason, and he’s just taken off since. He’s a great fighter and I like the fact that he’s always willing to fight the best. Never had to second guess that he’s willing to fight everybody.

STEPHEN ESPINOZA:
There are advantages and disadvantages to promoting a show on this date. There has been a lot of success promoting music shows on that weekend. It’s not apples to apples, but it’s one of the factors that went in and there’s a way to turn this into something special and unique because of Gervonta’s fan base.

It’s great to have skilled boxers but we need, for the health of the sport, guys like Gervonta who are putting butts in the seats. That’s the key in bringing him to Atlanta. Boxing is a part of a culture that crosses over into music and sports. There’s not an athlete who doesn’t watch a pay-per-view boxing match. Tapping into that with a personality like Tank is only going to expand the sport.

There’s an authenticity and an openness about Gervonta. There’s a lot of people who’ve had setbacks who don’t talk about it, like Tank. It takes a risk to talk about that and that’s why a lot of people can relate. This is Tank. What you see is what you get. It’s very real. It’s very authentic and I think that’s why people connect with him the person as opposed to him the fighter.

Highly Anticipated WBC Super Welterweight Title Rematch Between Tony Harrison & Jermell Charlo Headlines Live in Primetime on FOX PBC Fight Night & On FOX Deportes Saturday, Abendua 21 from Toyota Arena in Ontario, California – 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT

ONTARIO, Kalifornia. (Azaroa 5, 2019) – The highly anticipated WBC Super Welterweight Title rematch between Tony “Superbad” Harrison eta Jermell “Iron Man” Charlo will headline live in primetime in FOX PBC Fight Night Action and on FOX Deportes Saturday, Abendua 21 from Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.

Harrison vs. Charlo II is a high-voltage rematch that has been building ever since the end of the first matchup. The two were set to meet in June, but the rematch was postponed when Harrison suffered torn ligaments after spraining his ankle in training.

Now that he is fully healed, Harrison is ready to solidify his hold on the title while Charlo is ready to take back what he believes belongs to him. The rematch comes just one day short of a full year from the first time the two stepped into ring against each other on FOX.

After a dramatic and razor thin first fight, Tony Harrison and Jermell Charlo are sure to be at their best on December 21 when they settle their rivalry in a can’t miss rematch,” said Tom Brown, TGB Promozioak lehendakaria. “This is the kind of high stakes 50-50 fight that belongs in primetime on FOX and I know that the Southern California boxing fans watching in Ontario will love everything that these two champions bring to the ring.

Gertaera sarrerak, which is promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.

In the first meeting, Harrison deployed a tactical defensive strategy that blunted much of the force of Charlo’s high-powered offense. The intrigue of the rematch is whether Harrison will be able to use a similar strategy to remain champion or will Charlo be able to impose his will on Harrison and regain the title.

The 29-year-old Harrison (28-2, 21 Kos) entered the first match against Charlo having come up short in his previous world title attempt. He lost to Jarrett Hurd in a bid for the IBF title in 2017. Harrison, a protégé of the late Emanuel Steward and a native of Detroit, bounced back with three strong performances, including a decision victory over former world champion Ishe Smith.

The delay just made me even hungrier heading into this fight,” Said Harrison. “Watching Charlo the night we were supposed to go shine, and rejuvenate himself, it built up so much hunger in me. I’m tired of the talk and the noise. Prest joan naiz.

We’re looking to work smarter this time,” added Harrison. “I think everything I did before worked, but we want to make it even more decisive. The plan is to be more technically sound overall. You may see an early knockout. It’s tense between both parties. I’m pretty sure he wants to knock me out as much as I want to knock him out. Whoever has the best plan will win. But I’m by far the better athlete. Athlete for athlete it’s not even close. I’ll beat him in everything, running, saskibaloian, futbol. My style is perfect for his style. He’s Shane Mosley to my Vernon Forrest. I’ll beat him every time I face him.

It was an emotional night for Charlo (32-1, 16 Kos) the first time he fought Harrison. He and his twin brother, Jermall, the WBC Middleweight World Champion, were defending their titles on a FOX PBC Fight Night doubleheader at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Jermell and many ringside observers thought he had done enough to beat Harrison, but the judges saw it differently, handing Harrison a unanimous decision victory and setting up a hotly contested rematch.

A 29-year-old native of Houston, Texas, Charlo, won the title with a knockout victory over John Jackson in 2016. He went on to establish himself as one of the best young finishers in the sport with devastating stoppage victories over Charles Hatley and Erickson Lubin in defense of the title. He scored a majority decision over former world champion Austin Trout before taking on Harrison and most recently scored a knockout victory over Jorge Cota on FOX in June.

I still feel strongly that I won that first fight and I’m going to do things in a more dominant fashion this time,” Said Charlo. “I’m coming in to this fight being the overpowering, indartsu, ferocious Jermell Charlo. Tony Harrison is not on my level. It’s my job on December 21 to prove that and to prove my worth. I’m coming in there mentally focused. When I fought Jorge Cota, that’s a prelim of what’s to be expected from me in the future.

I want to look for the knockout and set it up,” continued Charlo. “I don’t want it to go the judges. That’s my worst nightmare. If it does go 12 erronda, he’s going to be very injured at the end. The loss taught me how to be more patient and to take things step-by-step. I’m going to show everyone why Jermell Charlo is a threat to the whole 154-pound division. I personally feel I’m the best in the division. I’m an upgraded Jermell Charlo that you’ll see on December 21.

Boxing’s Best Kept Secret Undefeated WBC Youth World lightweight champion JamaineThe Technician” Ortiz

WORCESTER, Mass. (Azaroa 5, 2019) – Undefeated World Boxing Youth World lightweight champion JamaineThe Technician” Ortiz (12-0, 6 Kos) da, agian, the best prospect in the world who most boxing fans don’t know.

A large part of the problem, ordea, is that the 23-year-old Ortiz, born and raised in the fighting city of Worcester, MA, never aspired to be a professional boxer, despite having a decorated amateur career.

He started boxing when he was six years old, thanks to National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame trainer Carlos Garcia, who has run the boxing program at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club for nearly 40 urte.

The naturally gifted Ortiz compiled an outstanding 100-14 Erregistro amateur, highlighted by a silver medal at the 2015 Golden eskularruak Nazionala txapelketak, in which he lost in the championship final to future professional world champion Joselito Lopez, plus back-to-back gold medal performances at the New England Tournament of Champions in 2015 & 2016.

Testimony to Ortizpromising potential was his final amateur match, which was a solid victory against Abraham “Super” Nova, nor da 17-0 (13 Kos) profesional gisa, as well as the reigning North American Boxing Association champion, and rated by the World Boxing Association (WBA) No gisa. 8 munduko super luma.

Turning pro wasn’t my end goal,” consummate boxer Ortiz said. “It really wasn’t on my mind. I focused on regional and national tournaments. I always thought I’d win an Olympic gold medal and then turn pro. I wish I had been better prepared to turn pro.

People that know me didn’t even realize that I had turned pro. It took a while before I adjusted, but I never really transitioned. Others had a game plan; I didn’t have a clue, but soon realized trophies I won in the amateurs weren’t going to pay the bills. Most of my fans today are other fighters and coaches.

When his Olympic dream ended, after he lost in the semifinals of the Olympic Trials, that’s when his promoter, Jimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports / CES), and co-adviser, Providence businessman Richard Shappy got involved in Ortizpro career. They’ve invested time, money and energy, believing in Ortiz and his tremendous potential.

“Urtez,” explained Shappy, who advises Ortiz along with Eddie Imondi,” I kept telling Jimmy (Burchfield) that I was interested in getting involved with a boxer, but that it had to be the right one. One day Jimmy called to say this (Ortiz) is the one. I jumped onboard. He convinced me that Jamaine is a future world champion. We jumped in from his first fight, on the ground floor, and we believe he is going to be world champion.

Burchfield has promoted the likes of five-time world champion Vinny Paz, U.S. OlympianJason Estrada, Ray Oliveira, Gary Balletto, Peter Manfredo, Jr.. and many others during his 25-plus years in the boxing industry. “Jamaine is the best I’ve promoted since Vinny Paz,” Burchfield claimed without hesitation. “He’s one of the best prospects in the world today and someday he’ll be world champion. Some say he has the good looks ofOscar de la Hoya; others feel his style is like that ofSugar’ Ray Leonard.”

When his Olympic dream unceremoniously ended, he decided to turn pro in 2016, winning his pro debut when Josh Parker retired after one round. The highlight of his young pro career to date was winning an eight-round unanimous decision this past February from previously undefeated (10-0) Ricardo Quiroz to capture the vacant WBC Youth World lightweight title, the same belt once proudly worn by, ironikoki, the aforementioned Lopez, baita Juan Diaz eta Daniel Estrada.

Past CES-promoted fighters who were WBC World Youth champions include three-time world champion “Bad” Chad Dawson eta Poloniako heavyweight Maruisz Wach.

In his last fight and first WBC World Youth title defense this past August, Ortiz won a dominating eight-round unanimous decision over 8-1-1 Romain Couture, pitching a shutout by winning each round on all three judges’ scorecards.

Ortiz’ time to star in the ring is coming. He is a diamond in the rough; gazte, talented and with tremendous upside. He has a strong team behind him, including head coach Rocky Gonzalez and Garcia, who is still working his corner

Ortiz’ fan-base will eventually develop and quickly grow as more and more boxing fans discover this gifted boxer as he ascends to the top of the boxing mountain.
2020 promises to be theYear of The Technician,” Jamaine Ortiz.

Decastro sensazionalki gelditzen da Castaneda Five-n Lincoln-en

Txostena: Gianluca Di Caro

Larunbat gauean On, Lincoln Unibertsitateko Makina Aretoan, bertako zaleak indarrean agertu ziren Nathan Decastro bertako mutikoari laguntzeko Munduko Boxeo Batasunaren defentsan (WBU) Apirilaz geroztik lortu duen Munduko Pisu Ertaineko Super titulua eta baita Munduko Boxeo Fundazioa gehitzen saiatu ere (WBF) Koroa Fernando Castaneda mexikarraren ordezko beranduaren aurkako bilduman.

Jatorriz Decastrok Jose Varela nikaraguarra izango zuen aurrean, hala ere asteazkenean Varela, garai hartan Espainian zegoena, Espainiako Agintariek irteera-bisa ukatu zioten Bartzelonako aireportura Erresuma Batura joateko, beraz, ezin izan zuen Lincolnera bidaia egin.

Borroka bera nahiko gauza nahasia izan zen, Castanedaren etengabeko ustiapena dela eta, Decastroren lehorreratzearen ondoren, lehenengoan fusilatutako gorputz maltzur bat Mexikokoari argi eta garbi eragiten zion, Decastro aurreratu eta erauzten uzten zuen bakoitzean eusten zion gorputzari zigor gehiago ekiditeko.

Bi eta hiru txandak antzeko ildoan izan ziren, nahiz eta bidezko izan boxeo pixka bat gehiago egon, borroka baino, Ekintza. Decastrok bere etsaiaren gorputza lantzen zuen aukera zuen bakoitzean, hori ez zen askotan Mexikoko hit and hold taktikaren ondorioz.

Laugarren txanda irekiagoa izan zen Lee Murtagh epaileak Castanedarekin ustiategiari buruz hitz zorrotzak izan ondoren, hainbeste izan ziren ondorengo truke pozoitsu batzuk, hala ere, Decastrok Castaneda gorpua zuzentzen zuen bakoitzean hasieran harrapatzen zuen, beraz, Decastro bururaino tiroak egiten hasi zen.

Decastrok argi eta garbi aski zuen Castanedaren taktikekin zapuztu izana bosgarren ahapaldia hasi zenean, Bardneyko gizonak taktika apur bat aldatu zuen eta askoz ere azkarrago hasi zen aurrera egiten eta jaurtiketa larriak egin zituen lehen minutuan edo, Castanedak modu onean baina nahiko eraginkorrean erantzun zuen bere gorputza zigor gehiagotik babesteko erabakia zela eta, distantzia mantenduz.

Biribilaren erdialdera gutxi gorabehera, Decastrok mexikarra sokara bultzatu zuen eta kolpe bat eman zuen, Castanedak eskuak altxatzea nahikoa irekitze bat sortzeko eta mexikarra oihalera bidali zuen gorputzera amu masiboarekin erauzi zezakeen minarekin bikoiztu egin zen.

Castaneda hasieran igotzen saiatu zen, baina berehala erori eta mina egin zuen, Lee Murtagh epaileak berehala uko egin zion borrokari eta medikua deitu zuen ringera, Decastrok eta bere taldeak ospakizunak hasi zituztenean.. Geldialdiaren denbora ofiziala bosgarren itzuliko minutu bat eta hogeita zortzi segundo.

Decastro-Castaneda baino lehenago ikusi Sophie Varley Jaime Batesen aurkako ekintza Boxeo Profesionaleko Kontseilurako (PBC) Nazioarteko Brontzezko Txapelketa.

Esan beharra dago hasieratik bukaerara arteko borroka gogorra izan zela, bi neskek gogor borrokatu zuten txanda bakoitzeko bi minutuetan. Varley-k jaurtiketa handiak egiten ditu, tartean, Bates muinera astindu zuen seigarrenean, hankak desagertu zitzaizkion baina nolabait bere oinetan gelditzea lortu zuen, baina nahiko adimentsua izan zen bere buruari lasaitasuna berreskuratzeko segundo batzuk emateko, Varley urrun mantentzeko jab bat zintzilikatuta.

Txanda bakoitza ekintza eta oso estua zen, hainbeste, ezin izan ditudala banatu, puntuazio jakintsua, txanda batzuetan eta nire buruan bakoitzak txanda pare bat lortu dituela eta aitortu behar dut emaitza berdinketa izango zela pentsatu nuela, oker nengoen (Argi ez naiz epaile materiala) eskarmentu handiko hiru epaileek puntuazio txartelak irakurri bezala; Adrian Thorne 57-59, James Ancliff 57-58 eta Graeme Beauly 56-59 dena Jaime Batesen alde.

Varley-Batesen aurretik Sheffield-en estreinako Zac Lane eta Frederick Castro nikaraguarraren arteko beste borroka arrakastatsua izan zen..

Estiloen arteko talka izan zen benetan borroka hau eragin zuena, Castrok eraso estilo aurreratua du, Layne-k, berriz, Prince Naseem-en estiloa imitatzen du, eta mutila, mutila, gazteak estilo hau bere egin zuen, Nikaraguarrak erasotzen zuen bakoitzean kontagailu zorrotzak bota aurretik arriskutik kanpo murgilduz eta kulunkatuz. Layne azpimarratu behar nuela esatea ez da batere dimentsiokoa, behar zenean, zoriontsu baino gehiagotan joaten zen, ezker eta eskubide bizkor eta indartsuekin erauzten utziz.

Borroka bikaina izan zen ikustea, itxi eta ekintza guztiak zehar. Lau txanda zoragarrien ondoren Lee Murtagh epaileak lortu zuen lehiaketa 39-37 Zac Layne Debutatuaren alde, Castroren eta bere kornerraren gogaikarria, epaileak markagailua eztabaidatzen inguratu baitzuen, hori oso ondo ulertzen dut erasotzaileena zela, baina esan behar dut Layne-k mexikarraren erasoak erraz neutralizatu zituela eta bere kontrakoa izugarria izan zen eta nire ustez nahikoa baino gehiago egin zuen garaipena lortzeko.

Layne versus Castroren aurretik, thrillerreko beste thriller bat izan zen, garaitu gabeko bi borrokalari Sugar Atahasan Turkiako Zipreko Errepublikako Leeds-eko Jack Jones-en aurka.

Atahasan nagusitu zen lehen estrofan, bere irismen abantailak efektu oso onak erabiliz. Hala ere, ez zuen bere bidea, batez ere borroka bigarrenean aurrera egin zuenean Jonesek pazientziaz irekitzen baitzituen irekidurak moldatzen, Atahasaneko gorputzera eta burura tiro handiekin erauzten utzi aurretik..

Atahasanek engranaje bat igo zuen eta benetan hirugarrenean joan zen, eta lehen prozedura nagusituetan bezala. Laugarrenean berdin, ondo iritsi arte, Jonesek Atahasanen defentsako akatsa aprobetxatu eta turko zipretarra mihisera bidali zuen jaurtiketa baten mertxika hartu zuen arte.. Atahasanek ia ez zuen ukitu eta berehala jarri zen oinetan eta berrabiatzean gogor eta azkar joan zen txandaren amaierara arte.

Lau txanda sentsazionalen ondoren, Lee Murtagh epaileak aginte fitxa irakurri zuen 37-38 Jack Jonesen alde.

Gaueko laugarren lehiaketak Paul Orkneyko Liverpudlian oinarritutako Orkadetan oinarritu zen Tanzaniako Amos Mwamakula-ren aurka lau txandan.

Berriro ere, zer ekintza fantastiko gerra fantastikoa, Ikaskideak gogor eta bizkor sartu ziren eta presioa pilatzen jarraitu zuten gorputzari eta bururako jaurtiketa masiboekin lehenengo txanda osoan, Mwamakula bezain garbia da Peers-en eraso indartsu biziei aurre egiteko bezain gogorra.

Bigarrena zertxobait ez zen hain bizia izan, Ikaskideek taktika apur bat aldatzea aukeratu zuten, erritmoa motelduz eta bere jaurtiketak hautatuz. Hirugarrenean ere berdin, baina laugarrenean parekideek erritmoa apur bat areagotu zuten eta lehenengoan Tanzaniarren gorputz gogor gogorrari zuzendu zitzaion bezala.

Lee Murtagh Epaileak lau boxeotako txanda bikainak irakurri ondoren 40-36 Paul Peersen alde.

Aurretik Peers vs Mwamakula Barrow-in-Furness-en Lee Kellett-en eta Lituaniako Tomas Vaicickas-en arteko pisu handiko lehia izan zen..

Berriro ere gerraren kontrakoa izan zen, bi gizonak lehiaketaren zati handi batean irtengo dira. Kelleten errendimendua aspaldi ikusi nuenetik ikusi nuen onena izan zen, ziur zegoen eta benetan boterea atzean uzten zuen.

Vaicickas etorri bezain gogorra da eta zorionez xurgatu zituen Barrow gizonarengandik ateratzen ziren plano handiak estiloari aurre egin aurretik. Kellet nagusitu zen bitartean txandetako lehen kopan, Vaicickas hirugarrena sartu zen erritmoa areagotu ondoren.

Laugarrena Kellet izan zen, hainbesteraino non borroka azken minutuan sartu zenean lituaniarra amore eman eta Kellettek jarritako erritmoaren ondorioz sokara bizkarra zutitu eta nahierara ukabilkadak xurgatu zituen..

Lau txanda bikainen ondoren Lee Murtagh Arbitroaren puntuazio txartela izan zen, harrigarriro irakurri zuena 39-36 Lee Kellett-en alde.

Gaueko bigarren borrokak Zipreko Turkiako Errepublikako Metin Turunc Puerto Ricoko Jose F Leonen aurka jarri zuen.

Turunc gogor eta azkar hasi zen, aukera guztiei bonba masiboak jaurtitzea eta literalki Leon erasotzen ari zen, nork ozta-ozta aurki zezakeen kontra egiteko irekiera hainbeste jaurtiketa handi etengabe etortzen zitzaizkion.

Puerto Ricoko kornerra oso kezkatuta zegoenez, lehen txandako minutuaren inguruan, bere izkinak eskuoihala bota zuen bere gizona zigor gehiago salbatzeko ahaleginetan., Hala ere, Lee Murtagh epaileak eskuoihala bota eta borrokak jarraitzen utzi zuen, hori egin zuen baina ez zuen denbora luzez Turuncek beste jaurtiketa erraldoi bat lortu zuen Leon jaurtitzeko lehen itzuliko minutu bateko eta hogeita zazpiko bigarren markan..

Mesedez, ez gaizki ulertu, Bai noranzko bakarreko trafikoa zen, Turunc-ekin normala dela dirudi, Aurretik borrokan ikusi dut eta badakit zein gupidagabea den, Leon borrokan saiatzeko ahaleginik handiena saiatu zen, baina turkiar xiberotar larri eta gogorrak gainditu zuen.

Gauaren hasierako borrokak benetan eman zion tonua arratsalde guztiari, lehenago argi utzi izana espero dudan moduan, guztiak barrako ekitaldi nagusia eta noski Turunc vs Leon, borrokak estuki borrokatu ziren maila goreneko Battle Royale-renak, ondo sinetsidazu hasierako borroka, Lewis Mulberry eta Gerona estreinatu artean, Pablo Narvaez nikaraguarrak Espainian du egoitza, beste maila bat zen berriro, sentsazionala izan zen.

Mulberry benetan joan zen hasierako kanpaitik eta sentsazionalki boxeatu zuen, Narvaez talentua da, beraz, ez da harritzekoa batailan egotea eta trukean lortu zuen bezain ona eman zuen, hala ere, gauzak pixka bat okertu zitzaizkion nikaraguarrari lehenengoan tiro baten melokotoi batek harrapatu eta mihisera bidali zuenean – esango dut Narvaez ekintzan zenbait aldiz ikusi dudala eta lehen aldiz ikusi dudala, beraz, zorionak Mulberry gazteari.

Bigarren txandan Narvaez apur bat gehiago defendatzen da, nahiz eta oraindik pozik egon puntako gaztearekin punpekin joaten. Hirugarren txandan, ordea, alderantzizkoa ikusten da zorteetan, Narvaez benetan prozeduraren oinarria hartzen hasi baita, horri esker, Mulberryk bere defentsarako talentua eta kontrako sentsazioa erakutsi zituen. Laugarrena kanpoko eta kanpoko gerra izan zen, bi gizonek hiru minutu osora joateko. Lee Murtagh epaileak lau boxeoko txanda distiratsuen ostean lortu zuen lehiaketa 39-37 estreinako Lewis Mulberryren alde.

Mulberry versus Narvaez bihurtu behar dut Gaueko borroka, aparta zen, eta, gainera, esan behar dut Mulberry benetan harrituta dagoela, bera da benetako tratua, tresna guztiak ditu bularraldean gure kirol maitean gailurreraino joateko, Nik, ezin dut itxaron berriro ekintzan ikusteko, ziur.

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams learned invaluable lesson for future

Picture by Emily Harney / Team Williams

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Azaroa 4, 2019) – The true test for a genuine boxing prospect is how he or she responds to adversity, whether it included a loss, cut, knockdown or, in the case of “Zoragarriak” Mykquan Williams, a disputed decision that tarnished his perfect pro record.

The 21-year-old Williams, orain 15-0-1 (7 Kos), was recently on the short end of a highly disputed eight-round draw with Tre’Sean Wiggins (11-4-3, 6 Kos), in the “Broadway Boxing” main event held at Generoso Pope Athletic Complex on the campus of St. Francis College in Brooklyn.

Nobody claimed the questionable decision was highway robbery, oraindik, most non-partisan fans at the show, or those watching live on UFC FIGHT PASS®, felt Williams rightfully deserved to have his arms raised in victory. Despite having a blemish placed on his pro record, he didn’t suffer a loss, and did retain his World Boxing Council (WBC) United States super lightweight title.

Williams’ opponent was a southpaw with a five-inch height advantage. Once he felt Williams’ power, especially in the liver, Wiggins went into survival mode, clutching and grabbing every time Williams got close.

Neither Williams nor his head trainer, Paul Cichon, was pleased when the judgesscores were announced – 77-75 in favor of Williams, 76-76 bitan – for a majority draw. Never-the-less, both feel that this developmental lesson will pay dividends down the road.

The plan was for me to work inside,” Williams said after the fight. “The first and second were feeling out rounds and then I’d adjust. I didn’t feel from the start that he could hurt me. I wanted to get inside and beat him with body punches. I did that but I think I played to the crowd a little too much. I’d change that if I could go back. And I would have let my hands go more, but I won this fight because I landed the harder, cleaner more effective shots throughout the fight. He just wanted to hold.

I’m disappointed because I was defending my title, but I didn’t lose the fight and I still have my belt. I ll have a lot to learn and I’ll be back in the gym soon to fix errors I made so that I won’t have those issues my next fight.

Cichon felt that Williams won five if not six rounds because he was the aggressor throughout the match. “Harritu egin nintzen,” onartu. “Mykye was the champion and I thought that he (Wiggins) would have needed to win convincingly to win rounds. He didn’t. Mykye started using his double jab to get inside and then he killed his opponent’s body. The body shots brought Wigginshands down. Mykye stalked and hurt him a few times.

Mykye learned a valuable lesson like not letting the crowd get to him, and never letting up on the gas.Wiggins was smart. Every time Mykye got close to him, he grabbed him, especially after he felt Mykye’s powerful body shots. It may have been ugly, but he fought smart.

Team Williams agrees that there’s no sense rushing Williams, azken finean, Zuen bakarrik 21, but that 2020 should be an active, career-changing year for the East Hartford (CT) borrokalaria.

I’m ready to fight at the next level,” Williams concluded. “Time will tell. Styles make fights but I hurt him (Wiggins) several times.

We’ll jump back in the ring in early 2020,Cichon added. “We’re looking to fight opponents with winning records, but not another six-foot southpaw.

I was very proud of Mykey,” Williams’ manager Jackie Kallen komentatzen. It was a learning experience that will make him an even greater fighter. He is still undefeated and one of the top young prospects in the 140-pound division. The next year will be a pivotal one for him.
