Laisser un commentaire

Par: Tony Penecale

Le championnat des poids lourds a toujours été le prix le plus remarquable du sport. Au cours des dernières années, l'intérêt pour les géants fistic a diminué. Cela a changé avec le pouvoir passionnant de Deontay Wilder et le sens du spectacle charismatique de Tyson Fury.

Avec leur première rencontre se terminant par un match nul controversé, ils se retrouvent à partager la bague. Les deux hommes avec des records invaincus et un seul match nul (l'un contre l'autre) sur leur grand livre.

Les grands hommes occupent le devant de la scène pour le prix incontesté. «Le bombardier de bronze» et «Le roi tsigane»…. Qui régnera en maître?

STYLE

Wilder:  

Un swing sauvage, combattant souvent bâclé avec de longs bras et une puissance de changement de combat dans les deux poings, Wilder aime définir la gamme avec sa main de tête et la suivre avec une variété de coups de poing puissants. Il porte son pouvoir tard dans ses combats et est capable de marquer un KO à tout moment.

Fureur:

Un confiant, sûr de lui, et parfois un combattant arrogant, Fury a des mouvements agiles et une rapidité pour un si gros combattant. Il combine un bon jeu de jambes avec des mouvements du haut du corps et une capacité à boxer orthodoxe ou gaucher, déséquilibrer les adversaires et mettre en place sa propre attaque offensive.

LEUR PREMIER BOUT

Wilder-Fury I: Fury a ouvert le combat avec un mouvement efficace, garder Wilder déséquilibré et incapable de décrocher quoi que ce soit de significatif Wilder a réussi à décrocher plusieurs coups durs dans le 4e tour, du sang coulant du nez de Fury. Fury a passé du temps au milieu des tours en tant que gaucher et a trouvé le succès. Wilder a marqué un renversement dans le 9e rond mais son attaque de suivi l'a laissé fatigué, a permis à Fury de reprendre son élan grâce au 11e rond. Le mémorable 12e a vu Wilder percer et atterrir une combinaison de crochets droit et gauche. Fury est tombé dur sur la toile, à plat sur le dos. Il s'est étonnamment élevé au décompte de 9 et devançait Wilder à la fin du dernier tour. Alejandro Rochin a marqué 115-111 Wilder, Robert Tapper a marqué 114-112 Fureur, et Phil Edwards a marqué 113-113.

POINTS FORTS

Wilder:

* Puissance - La détonation au bout des poings de Wilder, est principalement la main droite, est de proportions nucléaires. Alors que sa main gauche porte un pop substantiel, c'est la main droite de Wilder qui est considérée comme peut-être le coup de poing le plus dévastateur de la boxe aujourd'hui. Il peut mettre fin aux combats en posant sa main droite au milieu, l'arc au-dessus, ou fendre la garde comme un uppercut.

* Conditionnement - Au début de sa carrière, quand il terminait tous ses combats en quelques rounds, il y avait des points d'interrogation si Wilder s'estomperait dans les derniers tours. Il a prouvé qu'il pouvait se battre tout aussi fort dans les derniers rounds et capable d'un KO jusqu'à la cloche finale.

* Athlétisme - Wilder combine un mélange rare de taille, vitesse, puissance, et la capacité athlétique où il est facile de l'imaginer dominant dans tout type d'environnement sportif.

Fureur: 

* Mouvement - Pour un homme avec la taille et le physique qui ressemblent à un dos argenté, Fury se déplace avec la grâce et l'agilité d'un danseur de ballet. Il est léger sur ses pieds et possède un mouvement du haut du corps sournois qui est étrange pour quelqu'un d'aussi grand.

* Confiance - Fury est extrêmement confiant en lui-même et croit en sa capacité. Il montre peu ou pas de peur sur le ring. Sa nature charismatique assurée lui donne un avantage psychologique.

* Résilient - S'il grimpait de la toile contre Wilder, surmonter une horrible coupure contre Wallin, ou lutter contre la dépression et la toxicomanie, Fury a montré une dureté et une résilience qui doivent être admirées.

FAIBLESSES

Wilder:

* Sloppy - Wilder montre tellement de confiance en sa puissance qu'il est souvent sauvage et négligé avec ses coups de poing et son jeu de jambes. Il a souvent l'air très amateur sur le ring.

* Problème avec les boxeurs - Les combattants qui utilisent un bon mouvement et des capacités de boxe perturbent Wilder. Il a du mal à mettre ses pieds et est souvent un pas en arrière. Il suivait Luis Ortiz dans les deux combats et a été surclassé pour la plupart de son premier combat avec Fury.

* Chin - Les rares fois où Wilder a été sérieusement vérifié au menton, il a montré quelques défauts dans sa durabilité. Ortiz l'avait gravement blessé et près d'une défaite par élimination directe.

Fureur:

* Distractions - Fury adore sa nouvelle renommée et parle de la WWE et du MMA. Il s'est séparé de son entraîneur Ben Davidson et appelle ses propres coups. Fury a également des sorts dans le ring où il perd sa concentration et il s'est retrouvé sur la toile plus d'une fois lors d'un manque de concentration.

* Vie personnelle - Ce sont des démons personnels bien documentés de Fury souffrant de dépression et de toxicomanie, avec un gain de poids à plus 400 Kg. Alors que ses triomphes sur ces démons sont admirables, les effets physiques durables ne peuvent être niés.

* Peau - Cela ne fait que cinq mois que Fury a subi une terrible entaille à l'œil droit contre Otto Wallin, exigeant 47 des points de suture. Alors que les médecins ont jugé la coupure suffisamment guérie, sa peau tendre pourrait se rouvrir au moment le plus inopportun.

Combat précédent

Wilder:  (11/23/19) - Wilder a de nouveau marqué un KO contre Luis Oritz. Après avoir été expédié pour la majorité des six premiers tours, Wilder a établi sa gamme contre un Ortiz fatigant et a décroché une main droite pulvérisatrice qui a abouti à un KO d'un coup de poing.

Fureur:

(9/14/19) - Fury a survécu à un combat sanglant avec Otto Wallin, invaincu mais inconnu. Fury a subi une coupure à l'œil droit dans le 3e rond et le sang affectait clairement sa vision. Malgré la déficience, Fury contrôlait toujours l'action et blessait Wallin plusieurs fois en route vers une victoire décisive.

3 Meilleures performances

Wilder:

* Arthur Pin (1/16/16) - Après avoir pris du retard tôt, Wilder a repris dans le 4e rond et a commencé à s'installer et à contrôler l'action. Une seule main droite dans le 9e round a envoyé Szpilka vers le bas et inconscient, la 2016 Knockout de l'année.

* Gold Cup (1/17/15) - Wilder a répondu aux questions sur son endurance en allant à fond 12 tours pour la première fois de sa carrière et remportant le titre WBC dans le processus. Wilder a utilisé son long jab et a tenu Stiverne à distance avec ses compétences sous-estimées.

* Luis Ortiz (3/3/18) - Wilder a survécu à des moments effrayants contre le vétéran cubain souvent évité avant de l'emporter par 10e KO rond. Wilder a été troublé par les compétences de boxe d'Ortiz tôt avant de le renverser dans le 5e rond. Un rallye Ortiz dans le 7e Wilder était gravement blessé mais Wilder a pu se regrouper et marquer le KO quelques tours plus tard.

Fureur:

*  Wladimir Klitschko (11/25/15) - Fury est entré dans la cour arrière de Klitschko et a remporté les championnats unifiés et linéaires des poids lourds par décision unanime. Alors que le combat était une affaire prudente, Fury a pu surpasser Klitschko avec un jeu de jambes supérieur, mouvement, et une sortie de punch plus élevée.

* Derek Chisora (11/29/14) - Fury a dominé le match revanche avec son rival britannique, boxe à distance, basculement entre orthodoxe et gaucher, et punir son adversaire jusqu'à ce que le coin arrête le combat après 10 ronds unilatéraux.

* Deontay Wilder (12/1/18) - À l'exception de deux renversements et de quelques jugements curieux, Fury contrôlait la majeure partie du combat. Il a évité les coups de poing de Wilder et a décroché des compteurs efficaces, faisant de Wilder un aspect confus et déséquilibré dans le processus.

Clés de la victoire

Wilder:

* Utilisez son jab et annulez le style maladroit de Fury

* Gardez ses coups de poing courts et compacts

* Ne soyez pas hypnotisé par le mouvement du haut du corps de Fury

Fureur:

* Changez le rythme et laissez Wilder deviner

* Utilisez le mouvement latéral pour empêcher Wilder de poser ses pieds

* Ne soyez pas arrogant contre les cordes

DES QUESTIONS

Wilder:

* Wilder peut-il gérer le mouvement peu orthodoxe de Fury?

* Will Wilder utilisera un meilleur plan de jeu?

*  Will Wilder deviendra frustré?

Fureur:

* Will Fury essaiera trop fort pour le KO?

* Fury est-il totalement concentré sur la boxe? 

* Son œil coupé est-il susceptible de se blesser?

PENECALE PRÉVISION

Les deux combattants sont des showmen exceptionnels et leurs entrées de ring respectives feront vibrer la foule. L'électricité sera à son comble à la cloche d'ouverture. Avec leur familiarité, il y aura moins de sentiment de sortie que leur première rencontre. Fury sera sur ses gardes pour aller de l'avant et Wilder essaiera de chronométrer ses avances et de décrocher des coups de poing. À la fin de 1st tour, Fury se moquera de Wilder et il y aura un échange de mots.

Le mouvement constant de Fury et les coups simples troubleront Wilder car ses contre-coups trouveront principalement de l'air vide. Les tours suivants seront un jeu passionnant de chat et de souris avec le plus petit Wilder dans le rôle du chat, futilité d'essayer de coincer le plus grand Wilder.

Wilder trouvera le succès avec son jab dans le 6e et 7e des balles et une main droite en boucle attraperont Fury sur le dessus de la tête, le déséquilibrant sur la toile. La fureur montera, clin d'oeil à son coin, et reviens en action. L'excitation fera que Wilder se balancera sauvagement et tombera lui-même sur la toile après avoir manqué la main droite surexagérée.

Avec Wilder apparemment fatigué par son coup de poing du tour précédent, Fury tournera gaucher et atterrira plusieurs mains droites, puis rebondir hors de portée de tout contre-poinçon.

Le mouvement de Fury et sa vitesse de travail plus élevée porteront l'action tout au long des manches de championnat, le menant à nouveau à une avance apparente avant le tour final.

La décision cette fois sera unanime avec Dave Moretti et Glenn Feldman marquant tous les deux 115-112 et Steve Weisfeld un peu plus près à 114-113, tous en faveur de «The Gypsy King» Tyson Fury.

Nashville, Tenn. (Février 15, 2020) – Fighting in front of a raucous hometown crowd for the first time in his professional career, undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Caleb “Sweethands” Usine (20-0, 12 KOs) mettre sur un spectacle.

Plant dominated mandatory challenger Vincent Feigenbutz (31-3, 28 KOs) de l'Allemagne, Marquer un 10e-round TKO Saturday night in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Usine, who grew up in neighboring Ashland City, successfully made the second defense of the world title he won in January 2019 with a thrilling 12-round unanimous decision over then-titlist Jose Uzcategui. “Sweethands” lived up to his moniker, breaking down Germany’s Feigenbutz before putting him away.

“I was super fueled by the crowd tonight,” Plant said. “I could have gone all night. The whole city came out. Nashville stand up!”

Plant gave them plenty to cheer about from the opening bell, landing his jab up and downstairs. The aggressive Feigenbutz, 24, struggled to land anything in return.

Plant began landing the combinations in the third, bringing the crowd to his feet with a series of well-placed volleys.

Watch early round highlights ICI et ICI.

Those shots slowly took their toll, but Feigenbutz was game. He came alive in the sixth, pinning Plant against the ropes and unloading his own combinations. Plant covered up and shook his head as if unbothered.

Watch Feigenbutz fight back in Round 6 ICI.

Plant pounded Feigenbutz in the seventh and eighth, opening up a cut on his nose and swelling his right eye. The challenger absorbed more punishment in the ninth, causing the ringside doctor to take a hard look at him in between rounds.

Watch Plant dominate Round 9 ICI.

The end came swiftly in the 10e as Plant, sensing his foe was weakening, pounded away until referee Malik Waleed mercifully stepped in. L'heure officielle de l'arrêt était 2:23 of the 10th.

Watch the stoppage in Round 10 ICI.

“I felt great out there,” ladite plante. “I was relaxed and sharp. I told you I was going to stop this before the 12th round. I want to dedicate this to my daughter, to my mother, my grandfather and the whole city of Nashville.”

The champion also stated his desire to unify versus unbeaten WBC counterpart and rival, David Benavidez.

“Everyone knows I want that unification fight with David Benavidez,” Plant stated. “You know who the best 168-pounder is. If you want that, you’ve got to come see me. I want that fight; I’ve been asking for it and I’m tired of waiting!”

En cas de co-principal, Abel Ramos scored a stunning last second TKO victory overBryant Perrella in a scheduled 10-round welterweight match. Heading into the 10eand final round Ramos was told by his cornermen that he needed a knockout to win. Ramos (26-3-2, 20 KOs) delivered, badly hurting and dropping Perrella twice in the waning seconds of the frame, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave the welterweight co-main event off with just one second remaining.

“I know the fight’s not over until it’s over,” said Ramos. “That’s the game. I’ve been sick for two weeks. But no excuses. I wanted to come here and perform.

“I watched the Chavez-Taylor fight like 10 million times and I never thought I’d be in something like that. It just goes to prove that fights are never over till it’s over. You have to fight every single second of every single round.”

Watch Ramos stun Perrella at the end of Round 10 ICI.

Perrella (17-3, 14 KOs) was up on all three cards at the time of the stoppage; 87-84 and two scores of 88-83.

“Ceci est la boxe. It’s like Meldrick Taylor and Chavez,” Saïd Perrella, agreeing with Ramos’ comments. “These things just happen. I’m not going to take anything away from my opponent. I was winning every round convincingly. Qu'est-ce que je peux dire? There was second left in the 10th round. It’s like a needle in the haystack. C'est ce que c'est.”

Southpaw Perrella controlled much of the action, using side to side movement, angles and rapid-fire combinations to stifle Ramos’ offense. A left hook in the third briefly buckled Ramos. Another in the fifth stunned him.

“Perrella’s a tough fighter,” said Ramos. “He’s a strong, strong fighter. Je dois rien, mais de respect pour lui. I expected a tough fight and that’s what happened.”

Ramos never stopped coming forward, picking up the pace as Perrella slowed down. Avec 34 seconds remaining in the 10e, Ramos landed a perfect left uppercut flush on the chin. Perrella sank to the mat, getting up on unsteady legs. Ramos pounced once action resumed, unloading until a straight right drove Perrella to the floor again. De nouveau, he made it to his feet but couldn’t walk straight without stumbling. Reiss immediately waved it off at 2:59.

“Everything was going well, and I was winning the fight, round by round,” Saïd Perrella. “Je ne sais pas. Ceci est la boxe. That’s the thing about the sport. C'est ce que c'est. There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m not going to make up any excuses or take anything away from my opponent. It’s just an experience that you go through in life and you have to overcome it. Absolutely I’d like to do it again with him. We can get a rematch in for sure.”

“I want all the welterweights,” Ramos exclaimed. “I’d like to have another big TV fight and go out there and prove myself.”

The FOX PBC Fight Night opener featured a back-and-forth battle between lightweightsAustin Dulay et Diego Magdaleno. Magdaleno produced one of the finest performances of his career, dropping Dulay on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision victory in a minor upset.

The 33-year-old Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KOs) was simply busier, particularly down the stretch in this battle of southpaws.

“I knew mentally I could break him down,” said Magdaleno. “If I attacked the body, I knew I could break him down. He’s a young prospect. He’s taller than me so my plan of attack was to get in close and go to the body.”

Dulay disagreed with the decision. “I boxed the hell out of him every round, making him miss, catching shots, countering. Ouais, he hit me with a few good body shots. That doesn’t replace the heavy shots that I hit him with every single round for 10 rounds straight. That is madness. And it was a unanimous decision? That’s crazy. That’s unbelievable to me.

“Even Diego just told me that he had nothing to do with the decision. He knows. How can they do that to me in my hometown? That’s dirty man.”

Fighting in front of his fellow Nashville residents, Dulay (13-2, 10 KOs) started fast, landing several clean lefts in the second. Magdaleno never stopped coming forward, working behind the jab and landing to Dulay’s body.

Watch early round action between Austin Dulay and Diego Magdaleno ICI etICI.

Some of those shots strayed low which elicited warnings from referee Jack Reiss. Cependant, the work paid off as Dulay’s output dropped over the course of the bout. The sixth featured some of the best exchanges of the bout. Magdaleno got the better of those, landing a right to the ribs followed by one upstairs.

Magdaleno continued to press the attack in the seventh, scoring the fight’s only knockdown with a hard left hook to the solar plexus.

Watch Magdaleno score a knockdown vs Dulay in Round 7 ICI.

Once action resumed, Magdaleno pounded at his ribs until a left hook strayed low and dropped Magdaleno, causing Reiss to deduct a point.

“Every round he was hitting me low and, in the back, and on the hips,” said Dulay.
“It was more times than he got called for. I won that fight 100%.”

Sensing the fight slipping away, Dulay picked up the pace over the last three rounds. It wasn’t enough to overcome Magdaleno’s work rate, which earned him a win by scores of 97-91, 96-92 et 96-92.

“Experience has everything going for me. In my previous fight, I lost my head,” said Magdaleno. “This time I took my time. My camp said slow it down. Happy for the victory tonight.”

On the non-televised undercard, former world bantamweight champion Rau’Shee “Nuke” Garenne (17-3, 4 KOs) ended a 13-month layoff with a wide 10-round unanimous decision over Gilberto Mendoza (15-8-3, 7 KOs).

The 33-year-old Warren used his fast hands to land an assortment of shots from his lefty stance. In the fourth, a clash of heads opened a cut over the left eye of Mexico’s Mendoza. Warren sought to close the show, but Mendoza was game, firing back though outgunned.

Two judges scored it 99-91 and the third judge had it 100-90.

“It felt good to get back in there after being off for a year,” Warren said. “I didn’t feel like a rookie. I felt like I had to get a little rust off me. But I think I got most of the rust off when I was in the gym training. Going 10 rounds it felt good.”

“I hope to get back in May,” said Warren. “I only need 90 journées. I’ve already had my long layoff since last January when I fought on Pacquiao and Adrien’s card. I’m ready to get it on. I’m ready to move on. The only thing he did that I didn’t expect him to do was stay up.”

The event was promoted by Sweethands Promotions, TGB Promotions and Sauerland Promotions.

Deontay Wilder VS. TYSON FURY II IS AS BIG AS IT GETS

Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight Champion Wilder & Undefeated Lineal Heavyweight Champion Fury Square Off in Highly Anticipated Rematch Taking Place Saturday, Février 22 dans l'événement historique Mega PPV du MGM Grand Garden Arena de Las Vegas


LAS VEGAS (Février 13, 2020) – The upcoming rematch between WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay “Le Bomber Bronze” Wilder and lineal champion Tyson “Le roi tsigane” Fureur is the biggest heavyweight title fight in history.

Literally.

Standing 6’7″ et 6'9″ respectivement, Wilder and Fury create the greatest combined height ever seen in a bout for the WBC, Ring Magazine and lineal heavyweight titles, standing a collective 13 feet and 4 inches. The only heavyweight title bout “taller,” pour ainsi dire, took place in 2007, when the 7-foot Nikolay Valuev defended his WBA heavyweight title against the 6’6″ Jameel McCline. But never before have the sport’s very best big men been as large as they are today.

To put in perspective how large Wilder and Fury are, it’s best to compare them to the land of giants: The NBA. Consider the fact that at 6’7″ and in the neighborhood of 220 livres, Wilder is the same size as Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard. Fureur, pendant ce temps, is nearly identical to LeBron James in terms of height and weight.

These days, a look at the Top 10 of any rankings you choose shows that most contenders are built like Super Bowl champion tight end Travis Kelce, who stands 6’6″ and weighs around 250 livres.

As anyone who watched the thrilling first contest between Wilder and Fury will know, the two are indeed athletes, far from the lumbering behemoths you might expect men of their measurements to be. Wilder might be known for his titanic one-punch power, but he’s displayed some truly dynamic movement in the ring as well. Go watch the tape of his knockout of Bermane Stiverne and watch him bound laterally to create angles before landing his devastating shots, juking like a wide receiver in the open field, and you can see why Wilder dreamt of playing college football at Alabama when he was in high school.

Fury never dreamt of doing anything other than boxing-how could you when you were named after a heavyweight legend and born into a family rich with fighting history in Ireland. But the “Gypsy King” was also born with remarkable nimbleness to go along with a lifetime of developed boxing acumen, gliding around the ring and boxing with a style that would befit a welterweight, not a power forward-sized heavyweight.

Wilder and Fury are distinctive because ironically, giants aren’t usually dominant in sporting fields. While some have been all-time greats-i.e. the 6’9″ Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara, who is a lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame-often times big men are known mostly just for being big, and don’t reach the pinnacle of their sport. And understandably so. Being colossally large is often a hindrance in as many ways as it’s an advantage, particularly when it comes to movement and dexterity. The NFL’s tallest player, seven-footer Richard Singh, played just eight career games, the MLB’s all-time tallest player, the 6’11” Jon Rauch, was a journeyman reliever, and tennis’ 6'dix” and 6’11” skyscrapers Ivo Karlovic, John Isner and Rilley Opelka have no majors to their names.

As human beings have become bigger and stronger over the years, naturellement, so have boxers. Rocky Marciano, standing 5’10 ½” and weighing just above 180 livres, would be a tiny cruiserweight by today’s standards. Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali, considered by many to be the two greatest heavyweights of all-time, and certainly not tiny fighters in their time, stood 6’1 ½” and 6’3″ respectivement. Theoretically, Louis would give up nine inches in reach to Fury, whose wingspan is 85″. There were outliers in earlier eras, of course-Jess Willard and Ernie Terrell were 6’6″ and above and captured heavyweight titles-but for decades it was possible to be the size of a modern cruiserweight and not just compete, but be an imposing figure in the division.

Things began to change in the late 80s and 90s, when Tony Tucker, Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis, a trio of 6’6″ heavies captured belts. But the modern era was ushered in by Vitali and Wladimir Klitscko, the 6’6″ brothers who essentially ruled the division for the better part of a decade before Fury unseated Wladimir for the lineal crown in 2015.


Boxing has had its share of giants through the years, many of which have fallen short of the elite levels. In recent times, fans will remember the much-hyped American prospect Tye Fields, a towering 6’8″ southpaw who despite a massive amount of hype, never fought for a world title. Julius “Le Towering Inferno” Long started his career 5-0, and at 7’1″ with a 90″ reach looked like a force to be reckoned with, before settling in as one of the sport’s most notorious journeymen and reliable sparring partners.

Wilder and Fury are a remarkable blend of size and athleticism and are bucking the trend that you can be “too big” to be great. As the rematch nears, it’s exciting-or perhaps scary-to think about the next evolution of heavyweights that will come after these two. There was a time when the great George Foreman, at 6’3″ and with a 78″ atteindre, or Larry Holmes at 6’3″ with an 81″ atteindre, were considered among the most daunting physical presences to ever step in the ring. But Wilder and Fury have set a new physical standard. Will NBA-sized heavyweights become the norm in the coming years?

At least for the moment, Wilder and Fury are far from normal. They’re colossal presences, ben oui, but they’re also the two very best heavyweights in the world at the peak of their powers, looking to follow up one of the most memorable fights, and hotly debated draws in recent history.

Who will stand tall on February 22?

LOS ANGELES (Janvier 28, 2020) – Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay “Le Bomber Bronze” Wilder and undefeated lineal heavyweight champion Tyson “Le roi tsigane” Fureur continued their war of words at a special attraction press event on Saturday at FOX Studios in Los Angeles, as they near their highly anticipated showdown taking place Saturday, Février 22 in a historic, joint FOX Sports PPV & ESPN+ PPV from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Les billets pour l'événement sont en vente maintenant et peuvent être achetés à www.mgmgrand.com ou www.axs.com. L'événement est promu par BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promotions, Top Rank et promotions Queensberry de Frank Warren. Une présentation Premier Boxing Champions.

The two gargantuan heavyweights traded words and shared updates on training camp leading up to one of the most heavily awaited fights in recent memory. A large media contingent was on hand to watch the undefeated titans square off once again, less than one month before they will finally meet in the ring to settle the score, 14 months after their unforgettable first clash.

Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday in Los Angeles:

Deontay Wilder

“Things are going amazing. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. To come from where I come from, it’s amazing to be here. When you get a happy Deontay Wilder in training camp, you can definitely expect great things from me. Voilà’ what I’m going to give you.

“We haven’t seen his power displayed like he’s been talking about. It hasn’t been continuous, like mine. I think he has pillows as fists. That’s what I felt in our last fight.

“With the strategies that he’s talking about, I don’t really know how to take it. I don’t know if he’s trying to throw me off my game by saying he’s going to knock me out. But it’s exciting to hear and I’m looking forward to February 22.

“Everything on his body is a target, not just his cut. Everything that is permissible for me to hit, I’m going to hit it.

“When you fight someone like me, it’s a mistake to tinker around with your training camp. I’m unpredictable in that ring. When you have too many opinions and too many people who think they have the remedy, it usually backfires.

“I think this win will be more special than the others. Because of the history that we have, with that controversial draw. I consider Tyson a brother of this era, especially in the heavyweight division. The other fighters don’t want to let themselves loose and have fun. We’re both able to enjoy what we do day after day. Because when the bell rings, tout peut arriver.

“Fighting a guy like Fury, you have to be careful. Time goes by so fast in the ring. You’re trying to do everything that you prepared for. With what he brings to the table with his boxing skills, you have to have some awareness of the clock. But with my power, it’s his job to really watch the clock and try to avoid me for 36 procès-verbal.

“We both have to come in like we did the first fight, with our hearts on our sleeves and the warrior mentality that we always bring. When you get to this point, the scenery itself makes for a great fight. We all know when I come to fight, I don’t play around. We can play around here today, but we’re going to have that killer mentality in the ring.”

FURY TYSON

“I’m born ready. I’m feeling good in training camp. Everything has been going really well. There’s no injuries or excuses. It’s all dedication and sacrifice, one day after another.

“The first fight I wanted to go in there and out box him. It didn’t work. No matter what people say, I didn’t win. I count a draw as a loss.

“We’re giant heavyweights. I’ve had 20 KO, so I’m very capable of knocking people out. When you underestimate someone else’s power, you usually end up unstuck. Whether I’m a great puncher or not, I don’t believe anybody else can match me with heart and determination. I’m going to put my iron will on Deontay Wilder.

“I felt that I needed to get an edge in this fight. It’s not personal with me and my trainers, cutmen and nutritionists. It’s business. If I think someone else is going to improve my business, I’ll do it.

“How do you beat a massive puncher? You have to back him up. He gets massive leverage in those long arms while coming forward. I have to put him on the back foot and make him absorb some of my power.

“I’m the Gypsy King. There’s only been one and there’s only likely to be one going forward. That’s one belt that Deontay Wilder can’t ever win.

“He had a great performance against Ortiz. He did what he was supposed to do. He knocks guys out. He was relaxed and calm under the pressure. I was impressed. Not by the knockout, but by the way he was conducting himself under pressure.

“I’m always real. Deontay Wilder has knocked out 43 opponents in a row. Even if I hate this guy, I respect that. He has amazing power and his name is up there with all-time greats. He’s a great puncher who gets the job done.”

PHILADELPHIA (Janvier 19, 2020) – Jeison Rosario captured the WBA and IBF Super Welterweight World titles with a shocking fifth round stoppage of hometown favorite Julien “J-Rock” Williams Saturday night in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Temple University’s Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.

“As soon as I stepped into the ring, I knew he could not hurt me,” dit Rosario. “I knew that my power was affecting him right away. This is a big victory for me and for the whole Dominican Republic.”

“Rosario was the better man tonight,” a déclaré Williams. “It was a great homecoming for my fans and I’m sorry I let them down. What went wrong tonight needs to and will be fixed. We’re going to an immediate rematch and we look forward to returning the favor.”

In his first world title fight, the Dominican Republic’s Rosario landed power punches from the outset and opened up a cut on with a punch over Williams’ right eye in the second round. Williams was landing power punches of his own, but was unable to stop Rosario from coming forward.

Watch round two highlights where Rosario opens the cut over Williams’ eye ici.

“I’m so emotional in this moment right now,” dit Rosario. “When I lost my last fight I said I will never lose again until I become champion of the world and that’s what happened tonight. I came prepared. I knew before the fight that I was going to win it.”

In round five Rosario landed the punches that would ultimately lead to the end of the fight, hitting him with hard straight right hands that immediately slowed Williams.


“I have to give a lot of credit to my team,” dit Rosario. “I had a 16-week training camp and that prepared me for this. My life is changed forever and I can support my family in a whole new way. I realized that I was going to win, once I was offered the fight. I knew that if I made the sacrifice, that I would do what I did tonight. I knew it 16 weeks ago.”

Rosario sensed his moment and came forward with big punches, while Williams tried to hold and survive. Eventually the onslaught proved to be too much, and referee Benjy Esteves halted the bout 1:37 dans la ronde. Au moment de l'arrêt, Rosario led 39-37 on two cards, with the third card scored 38-38.

“I wasn’t surprised he was so good,” a déclaré Williams. “I told everybody he’s a real fighter. I have to accept it. The cut blurred my vision a little bit but it wasn’t the reason why I lost. He was the better fighter tonight. We’ve got a rematch clause. I’ll see him again soon. I’ll be back.”

Watch Rosario finish Williams in Round 5 ici.

The co-main event saw rising star Chris “Prime Time” Colbert (14-0, 5 KOs) drop former champion Jezréel Corrales (23-4, 9 KOs) on his way to a unanimous decision victory that earned him the Interim WBA Super Featherweight Title.

“Il est un grand combattant,” said Colbert. “People don’t realize that, because he had a bad decision against Ladarius Miller. Mais il est un grand combattant. He’s very awkward. He’s slick and fast. It was hard to catch him because he was running, but he came to fight. I take my hat off to him.”

The action began tactically, with Colbert trying to figure out the awkward style of the veteran former champion Corrales. Colbert switched from orthodox to southpaw and was able to control the early action despite a slow pace.

“I did my job in there,” Ledit Corrales. “My strategy was to hit and not get hit. I felt like I made him struggle for a lot of the fight. The knockdown wasn’t from being hurt, it was my balance. Our feet got tangled and I lost my balance. I came in here to win. We both did our jobs, but the judges scored his pushing more than his punching.”

Colbert continued to vary up his attack as the fight went on, while Corrales was able to have some success in the middle rounds landing straight lefts to counter his attacking opponent. In round 10 Colbert began to pull away, landing a clean left hook followed by a right hook to the top of the head that put Corrales on a knee.

“I had confidence coming into the fight,” said Colbert. “I knew I was going to dominate the fight and I told you all that before the fight happened. He was running and I was trying to catch him, so I told my corner, let’s have a dog fight. We got 12 tours. I’m in shape. Vous voyez, I didn’t sit down one round. I’m in shape and I came to fight. I wasn’t going to leave without this title.

The 23-year-old from Brooklyn seemed to get stronger as the fight went on and finished the championship rounds impressively, staggering Corrales in the waning moments of the fight to punctuate the performance. Colbert was the victor on all three judges’ cartes, par des dizaines de 117-110 deux fois et 116-111.

“The strategy was to use my jab like I did and try to set up my punches,” said Colbert. “But he’s very awkward and has good distance. Slowly but surely I decided to stop boxing, close the distance and get on him. I knew he couldn’t out throw me, I’m from Brooklyn.”

Watch highlights of Colbert vs. Corrales ici et ici. Watch the 10e knockdown ronde ici et 11e round action ici.

In the FOX PBC Fight Night opener, top super welterweight prospect Joey Spencer(10-0, 7 KOs)remained unbeaten with a unanimous decision over Erik printemps (13-4-2, 1 KO) after six rounds of action.

Fighting from the southpaw stance, Spring looked to land big overhand lefts but was rarely able to catch up to the speedy 19-year-old Spencer. Spencer dominated the action with his speed and by landing big hooks throughout the action.

“I was in there with a cagey, long southpaw,” dit Spencer. “Pour être honnête, when a guy is fighting as cagey as he was, it’s really hard for a guy with my style to just pull something out of nothing. He was a real defensive guy.”

Spencer was especially effective sneaking a powerful left hook around Spring’s guard. Spring tried to press the action in the later rounds and force a firefight but Spencer remained patient and picked his spots. Late in round six, a left hook from Spencer sent Spring flying into the ropes, before he was saved from the follow up onslaught by the bell.

“At the end I really just pressed him, said I’m going to finish strong, and hit him with some good shots,” dit Spencer. “If I had done that in the first or second round, I would have ended it early. I’m glad to get the six rounds in. L'expérience est tout. You’re only as good as your next fight. I’m happy to get in there and get some good experience and I did my thing and got the shutout.”

“I was waiting too much,” said Spring. “I thought he would come in and engage more and I was looking counter him but he stayed on the outside. I was more impressed by his speed then his power. He’s a talented fighter but I could have been more effective.”

After six rounds, all three judges saw the fight for Spencer, by the score of 60-54 trois fois. PBC’s 2019 Prospect de l'année, Spencer will look for another big year in 2020.

“I’m going to stay busy this year,” dit Spencer. “I’m going to have a four-fight year. This is one of four. We’re looking to bring some excitement and have some fun.”

Watch Joey Spencer seal his 10th career win with a powerful combo just before the final bell ici.

Prior to the main card, FOX PBC Fight Night Prelims on FS1 and FOX Deportes saw Mexico’s Jorge Cota (30-4, 27 KOs) earn a fifth-round stoppage over Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna (28-3-1, 10 KOs) 1:22 into their super welterweight bout, when LaManna’s corner advised the ringside doctor to halt the action.

The action also included sensational 17-year-old prospect Vito Mielnicki Jr. (4-0, 3 KOs) dominate Preston Wilson (6-4-1, 4 KOs) on his way to a unanimous decision by the score of 40-36 three times in their welterweight matchup.The Prelims opener saw undefeated Romuel Cruz (4-0-1, 2 KOs) score a first round stoppage of Julio Garcia(3-4, 2 KOs) 2:56 into their super bantamweight contest.

Ashland, Tennessee’s Plant will bring world championship boxing back to Nashville and fight for the first time as a professional in his home state. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday at Bridgestone Arena:

CALEB PLANT

“It’s great to be back in my hometown and my home city. I’m even more excited to be bringing home a world title and to defend it February 15 at Bridgestone Arena. It’s been a dream of mine since as long as I could remember. Since I was a little kid.

“I’m working harder than ever to make sure that I have my hand raised on February 15. I’m looking to do it in spectacular fashion, before the 12e tour. This fight is going to end in a knockout on my behalf. I want everyone who’s going to be in the building and tuned in to know that this world title is staying right here in Tennessee.

“My dad and I have been going at this for 18 années consécutives, non-stop. Having this fight has been a dream that I’ve sacrificed a lot for. It’s a dream that on February 15, it won’t be spoiled.

“It was a goal to become world champion, but it wasn’t the only goal. I think people tend to forget I only have 19 combats. I feel like I just made it to the base of the mountain. Some people when they become champion, they feel like they become the hunted, but that’s not the case with me. I’m still hungry. If you’re in my way, I suggest you get out of it. Because I won’t miss you.

“I’ve heard Feigenbutz is strong and physical and he thinks he’s going to come in and knock me out. Mike Lee thought he was going to knock me out and Jose Uzcategui said he was going to knock me out, but how’d that go for them?

“A la fin de la journée,, boxing is hit and do not get hit. I have plenty of skills to spare. Sur Février 15, I’m not playing with this guy.

“All of these guys think they’re going to walk me down and throw more punches than me. But I throw more and land more punches than them. If he thinks he’s going to come in here and spoil my plans, I promise you that he’s got another thing coming.”

BRYANT PERRELLA

“I’m grateful to be here today and blessed to have the opportunity to showcase who I am as a fighter. I’m a fighter who’s built on quality over quantity. Nothing has been given to me. I’ve faced nothing but excellent opposition to this point.

“I eat, sleep and breathe boxing. Je suis prêt pour cette. I’m a fast, strong and tall fighter, with a high boxing IQ. Février 15 I’m coming to dominate. Operation Abel will be unable.

“I have Ramos outmatched at every category and I’m going to dominate. I’m starting hit my stride as a fighter. Everything is coming together mentally and I have an amazing team working with me now. We’re just grinding every day and putting it all together to work towards our ultimate goal.”

AUSTIN DULAY

“I’m really thankful to my whole team for making this fight happen and especially to Caleb for paving the way for a fight in Nashville. We’ve been training really hard and we’re training even harder for this fight to put on a show in my hometown.

I know my opponent is going to come ready, we know what he’s coming to do. Je suis très heureux pour elle. I’m going to be ready for anything he brings.

“Je ne peux pas attendre pour ce combat, put on a great performance and come back to Nashville again in the future for more big fights.”

JUSTIN GAMBER, Plant’s Co-Trainer

“We are thrilled to come back to Nashville for this fight. It’s going to be Caleb’s first pro fight in Nashville, and from the moment that we heard first about this, we’ve been really excited.

“He’s had an incredible training camp as always. He’s been looking really sharp. Expect an explosive, powerful and better version of ‘Sweethands’ than you’ve seen yet. Caleb is always improving and always getting better. He’s taking it to another level.

“I’ve seen Caleb fight as an amateur in Nashville, but to be a part of him doing it in the pros, it’s so special for me. Just know that he’s going to put on a show. Skills pay the bills and he’s got all the skills.”

RICHIE PLANT, Plant’s Father & Co-Trainer

“We’re so glad to be here in this position. As soon as we heard that this was going to be a reality, we were just overjoyed.

“We started here about 18 years ago in boxing. Over the years we’ve grown, and now we have this amazing boxing team, one that I feel is the best in boxing. We’re just getting started. We’re excited to put on a show for our hometown and we’ll see everyone here on February 15.”

It is one of the most memorable moments in recent heavyweight history, et en février 22 the two undefeated titans will take their war of words back into the ring to stake their claim as the best heavyweight in the world.

Les billets pour l'événement sont en vente maintenant et peuvent être achetés à www.mgmgrand.com ou www.axs.com. L'événement est promu par BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promotions, Top Rank et promotions Queensberry de Frank Warren. Une présentation Premier Boxing Champions.

The charismatic stars put their magnetic personalities on display at the press conference, each laying claim to a rightful victory in their first contest, while also declaring their intent on finishing the rematch with an emphatic knockout victory. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Monday from The Novo by Microsoft at L.A. En direct:

Deontay Wilder

“It’s great to be back for another big event. This is the biggest title fight of this era for sure and I can’t wait. I’m always in my element. I’m always in the zone. Right now I just can’t wait for February 22.

“My body feels like its walking into the sixth week of camp instead of the third week. It’s been amazing to have the quick turnaround after the Ortiz fight in November. I’m coming in shape. I put shape on top of shape and it’s allowed me to prepare even harder for Fury.

“We all know in rematches I’m always sharp because I’ve been in there before and I know what my opponent is capable of doing and what they plan on doing. I’m prepared more than ever for this fight.

“I knocked him out the first time we fought. I told him two years ago I was going to baptize him. Rising up is part of the baptism. But this a different story. This is unfinished business. Because he’s in WWE I’m going to make sure he gets knocked out of the ring, I might even come down with a flying elbow from the top rope.

“Fury not wanting the rematch me immediately definitely made this fight bigger. We had two warmups. I had a lot more dangerous road than he had though. He played it safe, while I went to the mountain top and climbed it. I’m building for my legacy.

“If he beat me, then why all the new trainers? Every day it changes. Firing and hiring. He wants to talk about being out of shape the first time, mais il était en grande forme. He spent 100,000 pounds on all those camps. I still to this day have the same people with me and I don’t need to change it.

“When you’re facing power there’s no way around it. You can’t prepare for that. You just have to hope that when it lands, it doesn’t do that much damage. He doesn’t even know how he got on the ground or how he got up in the first fight. He’s been dealing with feeling ever since the end of the first fight.

“I’m going to do exactly what I said I would do. Je vais l'assommer. I’m the lion. I’m the king of the jungle. I’m going to rip his head off his body. Everyone sit tight and buckle up. It’s going to be a fun ride on the way to giving everyone the best fight you’ve seen in your lives.

“This is a major fight for the public and everyone should be excited. It doesn’t’ get any better than this. Two giants and two champions, putting it all on the line for everyone’s entertainment. We’re leaving it all in the ring to see who is the king.

“There’s so many things that go through my head as I take my time to adjust and time my opponent’s movements. I’m building the data I need to set him up for that perfect punch. There’s a lot of things that come with skills. Not just the average fundamentals. There are a lot of different things and that’s what makes boxing what it is. My ring IQ is very high and that’s how I set them up. I know everything he wants to do. Il m'a donné 100% of him already.

“He believes in his heart that he’ll knock me out. I always teach people to speak it, believe it and receive it. The magic of it all is in the belief. Though he’s saying those things, I don’t feel in his energy that he believes that. I feel like he’s nervous because of what happened the first time.

“I just learned from the first fight that I need to be calmer. I’m going to be a lot more patient in this fight, just like in the second Luis Ortiz fight. The object of boxing is to win, not just to win rounds. And I win in devastating fashion.”

FURY TYSON

“The consensus is either he knocks me out, or I win on points. Usually when people have that opinion, it goes the opposite way around. Expect him to box and me to be looking for the knockout.

“He thinks I’m going to come out herky-jerky with my famous style, but I want him to meet me in the center of the ring and have a slugfest, best man wins. I didn’t have the gas to finish him in the last fight, but this time I can turn that screwdriver until he’s gone. Let’s make it a Marvin Hagler vs. Tommy Hearns type of fight. I’ll meet you Inthe middle of the ring on February 22. Just watch out for the right hand, because you’re going to sleep in two rounds.

“We finally have the rematch and I can’t remember a bigger heavyweight fight in a long time. Maybe Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson was the last big one like this and that was another U.S. vs. U.K. épreuve de force.

“Deontay Wilder hasn’t been returning my calls or messages since I beat him last time. He’s trying to keep his distance. He didn’t want to be around me so I can get in his head. But I don’t think you can really get in anyone’s head. At the end of the end of the day, it’s just talk. It doesn’t really matter what we say. It matters what happens on February 22.

“What’s going to happen in this fight is that I’m going to get what I rightfully won last time. I’m going to get the green belt and keep my lineal title. And if he wants to rematch me after, I’ll beat him again. I’ve already beat him once, and I know I can beat him three times in a row.

“Je vais gagner, c'est ce que je fais. Deontay Wilder can make all the excuses he wants to make. Everyone on his team can tell him he won that fight, but as a fighting man, you know when you win and lose a fight. I’m going to go out there give him a boxing lesson and knock him out.

“You’re never a finished article, you can always improve. I like to keep freshening things up every now and again. I don’t make excuses. I won fair and square and we get to do it again. I’m ready for a fight today.

“I’m the best of my era and I took that title from Wladimir Klitschko. Nobody disputed he was the best and I took that from him, until someone beats me, that’s my title.

“He’s going to try to and the right hand. If I’m stupid enough to get hit with it, I deserve to lose. I hit the floor twice in the first fight, but it’s all about how you respond, I’m a fighting man. If he can’t finish me, I’m going to eat him up.

“I’m looking for a knockout. That’s why I hired Sugarhill. He gets you to sit down on that big right hand. That’s what I’m looking for. There’s the game plan. If I wasn’t looking for a knockout, I would have sharpened up what I did in the last fight. I’m not coming for that. I’m looking for my 21st assommer.

“When I get him in there again, I’m going to make him feel the fury. I’ve never been as sure of anything in my whole life. As sure as I was this morning putting this suit on. 100 percent he can’t win He’s got a puncher’s chance like anyone else. I’m much sharper and more fit now. I’m ready to rumble right now. I hope he train hard and goes to bed sleeping thinking about me.”

TOM BROWN, Président de TGB Promotions

“Sur Février 22, au MGM Grand Garden Arena, it’s going to be bombs away. We have two superstars here. The best two heavyweights in the world. Both fighters are going to show a lot of passion at this press conference and all the way leading up to this fight because there is so much at stake.

“These are the best in boxing. There is nothing like a big heavyweight championship fight. We have the undefeated hardest punching, the most feared heavyweight in the world and I believe one of the all-time great heavyweights in Deontay Wilder.

“There is a reason Fury and his team didn’t want the immediate rematch right after the first fight. He’s taken a couple of tune-up fights instead because he felt that power on December 1. That’s not going to change this time, he can just ask Luis Ortiz.

I was lucky enough to promote the first fight and I believe we have something special in this rematch. I look forward to a fantastic fight on February 22 and we’ll see everyone there.”

TODD DUBOEF, President of Top Rank

“We talk about boxing having a renaissance, but it’s really about the heavyweight division. That’s what is going to create that renaissance more than anything right now.

“Tyson is so true, so gritty and he backs it up with everything he does. When you combine it with Deontay Wilder, you have two great personalities. This is really the beginning of the next super heavyweight run for the sport of boxing.”

SUGARHILL STEWARD, Entraîneur de Fury

“This fight here is one of those fights that you don’t want to miss. The first one was one not to miss as well and I’m sure you all watched the replay. You have two great champions here going at each other. Both fighters left the ring still undefeated last time and still wanting to settle the store. Sur Février 22, the score will be settled.

“The heavyweight division is still the biggest and most powerful division in boxing. It always will be. Everyone wants to see the fighters throwing the big blows. Wilder is one of the hardest hitters in history and Tyson is one of the best boxers. I’m happy to be training. with Tyson Fury. It’s been about 10 years since we trained together. He trained with me and Emanuel Steward and I’m here to complete what Emmanuel started.”
