“Yoshida-Metcalf 2” COMPUBOX Numbers Overwhelmingly Contradict the Judges’ Questionable Scoring

Ostavite komentar
Tri puta, two-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida

NEW YORK CITY (Oktobar 25, 2024) – COMPUBOX numbers from this past Wednesday night’s International Boxing Federation (IBF) Women’s Bantamweight World Championship match between defending champion Miso Yoshida and challenger Shurretta Metcalf clearly do not support the judges’ controversial 10-round unanimous decision in favor of Metcalf.

The judge’s dubious scores of 99-91 (Robin Taylor), Robert Perez (97-93) and Max DeLuca (96-94) awarded Metcalf the disputed victory. The right outcome appeared clear – both in the surprise reactions of Metcalf’s corner and also the thunderous objection from the crowd.

As the scores were read, immediate objections reigned down through the arena as Yoshida and many ringsiders looked stunned.

Metcalf’s unproductive higher work rate of wildly ineffective aggression apparently was favored more by the judges than Yoshida’s well timed and forceful jabs, which set up her more impactful power shots, as well as a much higher comparable percentage of connected punches.

According to COMPUBOX, punch-wise, Yoshida finished the fight ahead 96-64 ukupne, 49-17 in jabs, 30-16 in body punches and 8-0-2 in a round-to-round breakdown of total connects. Yoshida’s masterful defense kept her opponent at a distance, resulting in a large percentage of Metcalf’s punches falling short of connecting, and striking nothing but air.

Sve u svemu, Yoshida landed an astonishingly 50-percent more punches (96-64) than Metcalf, in addition to having a much higher accuracy percentage, nearly three times as great at 22-percent to her opponent’s 9-percent.

Considering her 4-inch height and 6 ½ -inch reach disadvantages, Yoshida shouldn’t have been discredited by the judges for her style – fighting on the outside, moving inside to land punches, and then returning to the outside – because it was really the only way she could defeat the much larger Metcalf. Based on COMPUBOX statistics, she did just that and should have had her hands raised in victory.

Putting aside the bizarrely lopsided scores from Taylor, if the other two judges scored the first, sixth and eighth rounds properly based on the COMPUBOX numbers, Miyo would have won the fight by way of a majority decision. Yoshida out-landed Metcalf in rounds one and eight by 100-percent and by 175-percent in round six. Inexplicably, those rounds were scored against Yoshida.

“Yoshida vs. Metcalf 2” headlined the “Heroes on the Hudson 2” card, predstavio DiBella Entertainment, which was broadcast live from The Theater at Madison Square Garden on ProBoxTV.

“It was an honor to once again share the ring with Shuretta,” the dejected Yoshita said shortly after the fight, “this time in the mecca of boxing, Madison Square Garden. “I felt I did more than enough to win the fight, and I don’t understand why the judges awarded my opponent for throwing wild punches that never landed and the few that did, had no effect.”

“Having watched it ringside, read disagreement in the boxing media with the outcome and now seeing these lopsided statistics in Miyo’s favor,” Yoshita’s manager Keith Sullivan commented. “It is hard not to question the accuracy of the scoring. A 7-3 score is a disturbingly extreme stretch. The 9-1 score turned a world championship fight into a tragic farce. This was a disservice to the sport.”

The ProBox TV announcers agreed on air that the 99-91 score was “absurd”. Hall of Fame boxing writer Thomas Hauser, who covered the fight live for www.tss.ib.tv, wrote the following about “Yoshita-Metcalf 2”: “Shurretta threw wild punches from long range all night. When she landed, it seemed almost by accident. The decision could have gone either way. I thought each fighter clearly won three rounds with four rounds up for grabs. 97-93 was a stretch. 99-91 reeked of being an agenda-driven scorecard.

Matt Delaglio was recently named executive director of the New York State Athletic Commission and inherited a job that has long been marked by incompetence and neglect. Delaglio is conscientious and well-qualified for the position. But he has a lot of work to do. One of the things on his ‘to-do list’ should be an overhaul of ring judging in New York. Odmah, the judging in New York is unacceptable.”

A single mother of daughter Mina, Miyo is known as the “Fighting Single Mother” in Japan, where she is a revered role model. Yoshida received the 2023 Most Inspirational Female Fighter award from The Ring magazine. She moved half-way around the world from Japan to New York City to enhance her pro boxing career, unable to speak English, although she is studying to learn the language.

Miyo Yoshida set to avenge loss to Shurretta Metcalf & defend her IBF Bantamweight World title

SULLIVAN MANAGEMENT

This Wednesday vs. Shurretta Metcalf on ProBox TV live from The Theater at Madison Square Garden

NEW YORK CITY (Oktobar 21, 2024) – So much has changed in the last year for three-time, two-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (17-4, 0 KOs) when she enters the ring this Wednesday night (Oktobar. 23) to make the first defense of her International Boxing Federation (IBF) bantamweight title, as well as avenge a loss to her challenger, Nemoj. 1 contender Shurretta “Chiccn” Metcalf (13-4-1, 2 KOs), at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Yoshida vs. Metcalf will headline the “Heroes on the Hudson 2” card, presented by DiBella Entertainment and broadcast live on ProBoxTV, in the 10-round (2-minutes each) main event to celebrate and support heroic veterans of the United States Armed Forces in advance of Veterans Day in the latest addition of the popular Broadway Boks serija.

A year ago, in the inaugural “Heroes on the Hudson” card, Metcalf defeated Yoshida by way of a 10-round unanimous decision, ali, a month later, Yoshida answered the call to challenge IBF Bantamweight World Champion Ebanie Bridges (9-1) and the Japanese boxer was an upset winner in San Francisco via a 10-round unanimous decision (99-91, 99-91, 97-93), capturing her third world title.

“Everything changed when I received the offer two weeks before the world title I won,” Yoshida explained. “I had planned to fight if I received a nomination order, and I want to take revenge and increase my value. I can learn from my losses, so this result will be different.

“I think Metcalf maintains her boxing style with that blessed height (5' 7 ½”) because she works so hard. She is a single mother (as is Miyo) and tries many things. She can be rough with her language, but I basically respect her. I will defend and firmly avenge my loss to her to advance my story.”

Yoshida also attributed much of her success to her New York City-based team: head trainer Jimmy Sosa, his brother and assistant trainer Aurelinna, strength-and-conditioning coach Sergie Korchynskyy, and manager Keith Sullivan.

“The Sosas are like a father to me and Sergie is like my brother,” Yoshida said. “They come to listen to my lectures, and I learn important things in life, not only through boxing, but also with many kids at Cops & Kids Boxing gym in Brooklyn. Team Sosa patiently teaches me until I understand even if there is a language barrier. I appreciate that and members of Team Sosa are learning Japanese, because the team is united as one.” 4-time World Champion Jorge Linares will work her corner, and he speaks fluent Japanese.

“Keith is my manager, and he listens to me kindly and explores many possibilities for me. He understands my struggles as a single mother, in a foreign country.”

Yoshida vs. Metcalf launches the Great 8 Tournament to crown the undisputed women’s World Bantamweight Champion.

Miyo had been training regularly with veterans and active duty personal at the U.S. military bases in Japan since her July 2016 match at Camp Zama, which inspired her to move to New York. She is still supported by the people at Camp Zama and Atsugi Base.

“It is truly an honor to be managing Miyo,” Sullivan commented. “She is a three-time world champion who brings tremendous professionalism and commitment to her training. This fight has a great drama built into it because of the loss she suffered in their first fight followed by Miyo convincingly winning the world title one month later as a last-minute fill-in. This is a Do Not Miss fight. It will be an exciting fight. I am hopeful that this tournament can be the blueprint for other female divisions to keep the champions and their mandatories active. It is a win-win for all involved.”

Sullivan is a former Deputy Commissioner for the New York State Athletic Commission, who manages IBF and WBA #6 rated welterweight Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-0, heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (4-0, 2 KOs), i WBC #9 rated super middleweight Nisa Rodriguez (2-0, 0 KOs), amongst several other professional fighters.

3-Vrijeme, 2-Division World Champion Miyo Yoshida fighting for her boxing legacy at home in Japan

Ostavite komentar
Yoshida to defend her IBF Bantamweight World title Oct. 23 vs. Shurretta Metcalf on ProBoxTV live from The Theater at Madison Square Garden
NEW YORK CITY (Oktobar 14, 2024) – Three-time, two-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (17-4, 0 KOs) will out her developing boxing legacy in Japan on the line October 23rd, when she makes the first defense of her International Boxing Federation (IBF) bantamweight crown against No. 1 contender Shurretta “Chiccn” Metcalf (13-4-1, 2 KOs), at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Yoshida vs. Metcalf will headline the “Heroes on the Hudson 2” card, presented by DiBella Entertainment and broadcast live on ProBoxTV, in the 10-round (2-minutes each) main event to celebrate and support heroic veterans of the United States Armed Forces in advance of Veterans Day in the latest addition of the popular Broadway Boks serija.

One of only 23 female world champions from Japan, The 35-year-old Yoshida is only the sixth from her country to capture world titles in two or more divisions. She captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Super Flyweight crown twice in 2019 i 2021.

Japan is a powerbase in men’s professional boxing with contemporary superstars such as Undisputed Junior Featherweight World Champion Naoya “The Monster” Inoue (28-0, 25 KOs) i World Boxing Council (WBC) Bantamweight World Champion Junto Nakatani (29-0, 22 KOs). Međutim, in women’s boxing today, Yoshida is arguably the best from Japan, as well as one of the greatest female prizefighters of all-time from the Land of the Rising Son, behind only retired Japanese fighters Naoko Fujioka (19-3-1, 7 KOs), Japan’s only five-weight class female world champion, and possibly Emiko Raika (24-8-1, 10 KOs).

A single mother of daughter Mina, Miyo is known as the “Fighting Single Mother” in Japan, where she is a revered role model. Yoshida received the 2023 Most Inspirational Female Fighter award from The Ring magazine.

“I hope to further shape the way that was created by our predecessors into a better one for the next generation,” Yoshida said.

To cement her legacy, Yoshida must first get past Metcalf in their rematch, avenging Miyo’s loss by way of 10-round decision a year ago, and advance in the Great 8 Tournament to determine the undisputed women’s bantamweight world champion. Srećom, all of the world bantamweight champions – WBC/WBO & The Ring Champion Dina Thorslund (22-0, 9 KOs) of Denmark, IBF Ellie Scotney (9-0, 0 KOs) from the United Kingdom, and the Yoshida vs. Metcalf winner (their fight technically launches the tournament) – will compete in the Great 8 along with some of the leading contenders such as Cherneka Johnson (16-2, 6 KOs), Yulihan “La Cobritas” Luna Avila (27-4-1, 4 KOs), and Segolene “Majestic” Lefebure (18-1, 1 KO).

“Right now,” Yoshida noted, “I’m only thinking of defending my title belt. I had been hoping for unification fights since I was able to become world champion again. I was impatient with this interval between matches because it is the last chapter due to my age. If I couldn’t compete in boxing, I thought about returning to kickboxing or MMA. I didn’t want to be in between fights, and I thought it would be better for me and for women’s boxing if I became well known.”

“Japan’s boxing scene carries a rich history with a strong cultural connection to its people,” Miyo’s manager Keith Sullivan commented. “Japanese boxers honor a tradition of competitive excellence and outstanding sportsmanship. Miyo embodies these qualities as she fights for the pride of Japan. She is an exemplary champion for her native country.”

Sullivan is a former Deputy Commissioner for the New York State Athletic Commission, who manages IBF and WBA #6 rated welterweight Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-0, heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (4-0, 2 KOs), i WBC #9 rated super middleweight Nisa Rodriguez (2-0, 0 KOs), amongst several other professional fighters.

Lagani Keyshawn Davis priprema se za kopanje zlata sljedeće godine u Japanu 2020 Olimpijske igre

Ostavite komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (Maj 20, 2019) – Tim SAD lagan Keyshawn Davis čitav svoj mladi život pripremao se za predstavljanje svoje zemlje na Olimpijskim igrama. Ako sve bude išlo po planu i bude išlo po rasporedu, Norfolk, Rodom iz Virginije boksat će zlato sljedeće godine u Japanu.


Dvadesetogodišnji Davis, ko se bavi sportom 110-15 amaterski zapis, gomila medalje tako zastrašujućim tempom da mu je očajnički potrebno da proširi svoju vitrinu. Dvostruki je Elite National (2017-18) i dvostruki nacionalni PAL (2013-14) prvak, kao i osvajač zlatne medalje na 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2017 Youth Open i 2017 National Golden Gloves.

Međunarodno, napravio je ozbiljnu štetu, suviše. Vrhunac njegove amaterske karijere, izlaziti s, osvaja zlato na prošlogodišnjem turniru Strandja u Bugarskoj. Davis je nedavno uhvatio srebro na 2019 Pan-American Games Qualifier u Nikaragvi, pored 2018 Kup hemije u Njemačkoj.

“Osvojio sam svoju prvu međunarodnu zlatnu medalju u Bugarskoj,” Davis se složio da je to vrhunac njegove amaterske karijere. “Takođe sam izabran za Najizvrsnijeg boksera.”

Njegova pobjeda na 2018 Državljani SAD-a kvalificirali su ga za 2020 Olimpijska ispitivanja za boks, dok ga je njegovo srebro na kvalifikacijama za Pan American Games kvalificiralo za Pan American Games (27. jula - avgusta 2) Lima, Peru. Ove godine će se natjecati i na elitnom Svjetskom prvenstvu za muškarce (Sedam. 7-21) u Jekaterinburgu, Rusija.

“Kvalificiranje za olimpijsko suđenje za mene zaista nije bilo puno postignuće jer se očekivalo,” Primijetio je Davis. “Za mene je to bio ulazak u tim SAD-a, opet i ovo mi je druga godina u timu.

“Ne postoji pravo takmičenje za mene da bih se plasirao u američki olimpijski bokserski tim. Moja posljednja borba u The Nationalsu bila je mali izazov (vs. Dalis Kaleiopu), jer sam se okliznuo i ustao.”

Na Panameričkim igrama, Davis bi se vrlo dobro mogao suočiti s kubanskim bokserom koji ga je pobijedio rezultatom 3-2 na Pan American Games Qualifieru, Andy Cruz, postavljanje mogućeg meča gume između dva elitna boksera sljedeće godine na Olimpijskim igrama.

“Postoji vrlo dobra šansa da se ponovo borimo na Pan-Am igrama, najvjerovatnije u Japanu, kao,” Dodao je Davis. “Moramo pobijediti u dva kola da bismo se plasirali u finale, a ja da se osvetim. Cruz ima puno više međunarodnog iskustva od mene. On je 26 godine i svjetski prvak u našoj težinskoj klasi.”

Davis je počeo boksati kad je imao devet godina kada, umoran od Keyshawna i njegova dva brata koji se međusobno bore i u školi, majka ga je pitala žele li u teretanu da nauče boksati. Jesu i danas, njegov stariji (Kelvin) i mlađi (Keon) braća su takođe bokseri amateri.

Nedugo nakon toga upoznao se Troy Isley, koji je kolega član tima USA, a danas su bliski kao braća.

“Troya sam sreo natrag, nakon što sam prvi put počeo boksati,” Davis se sjetio. “Našli bismo se na nacionalnim i drugim turnirima i družili se s mojom braćom. Moj trener je otišao u penziju, pa sam otišao u Troyovu teretanu (Aleksandrija, VA) i počeo raditi s Coachom Kej (Koroma, Američki pomoćni nacionalni trener boksa). Približavamo se svom snu (predstavljanje SAD-a na Olimpijskim igrama) koja je započela toliko davno, čini se nestvarnim približavati se. Možete očekivati ​​da se dva boksera iz Virginije vrate iz Japana sa zlatnim medaljama. Mi smo poput braće.”

“Trener Kay me prvi put stjerao u kut kad sam bio 13. Odličan je trener koji želi da uspijemo u životu, ne samo u ringu. Želi najbolje za nas. Imamo jednu od najboljih američkih. bokserske ekipe dugo vremena i to će se prikazati u Japanu. Uvijek si pomažemo i ovo je trenutno vrlo uzbudljivo vrijeme za nas.”

Još jedan bliski Keyshawn-ov prijatelj je, 2018 Srebrne olimpijske medalje Shakur Stevenson, koji je prošao kroz ono što se Keyshawn približava, i sada je na nivou profesionalne perspektive do koje Davis teži doseći.

“Shakur me uvijek podržavao,” Davis je nastavio. “Mnogo razgovaramo. Pošteno, teško mi je ne razmišljati o tome da se profesionalno okrenem, jer će moja amaterska karijera biti gotova nakon Olimpijskih igara. Oduvijek su me učili da imam plan, pa sam se pripremao, poslovno, istražujući moje mogućnosti (menadžer i promotor), i ostati na dobrom putu od amatera do profesionalaca.”

Da nije bokser, Davis misli da bi bio realtor, ali temeljito uživa u životu boksača.

“Ovo je bilo sjajno iskustvo,” Davis je govorio o svojoj amaterskoj boksačkoj karijeri, “posebno ove godine pripremajući se za Pan AM-ove. Imao sam prilike putovati i upoznavati ljude, ali najbolji dio je biti dio ovakvog tima. Boks je individualni sport, ali, izvan ringa, uvijek navaljujemo jedni na druge.

“Zahvaljujem Bogu svaki dan kad ustanem što me je stavio u ovu poziciju. Sve što želim je osigurati sebe i svoju porodicu. U mojim godinama, Ja sam ispred utakmice.”

USA Men’s And Women’s Wrestlers To Face International Power Japan In New York City’s Times Square May 17 for Beat the Streets Annual Benefit

Select American stars to take Japanese wrestlers in first-time New York dual meet; Youth Wrestlers and High School Wrestlers take The Mat; Benefit Celebration Follows

NEW YORK– Beat the Streets Wrestling, Inc. and USA Wrestling announced today that the men’s and women’s national wrestling teams of the United States and Japan will square off in New York City’s Times Square on Srijeda, Maj 17 in the seventh annual wrestling celebration. This year’s event will take place in Times Square’s Duffy Square (između 46thi 47th streets). Competitors for Team USA, which will include members of the 2016 Olympic team as well as other elite stars, and their Japanese opponents will be announced in the coming weeks.

"We welcome our friends and colleagues from Japan to help us spread the word and once again make history with our event in Times Square,” said Beat the Streets Chairman of the Board Mike Novogratz. “We have worked with many nations in our goodwill mission for young people over the years, but bringing both the men’s and women’s elite wrestlers from Japan here for this dual meet will be a unique experience for all, with every dollar helping further our mission of growing the sport of wrestling in New York City across the country and around the world, from the grassroots on up.”

U 2013, the event dubbed “The Rumble on the Rails,” was hosted in historic Grand Central Terminal and featured dual meets between Team USA, Russia and Iran. Playing an important role in the international Keep Olympic Wrestling effort, this historic wrestling event gained international media coverage and helped wrestling retain its status on the Olympic Games program.

The world-class competition has been hosted in Times Square five previous times. U 2011, the United States defeated World Champion Russia, 5-2, the first sports event ever held in historic Times Square. U 2012, another U.S. vs. Russia dual meet was held in Times Square, along with the U.S. Olympic Team Wrestle-off for the 60 kg/132 lbs. position on the U.S. Olympic Team in men’s freestyle. U 2014, Team USA defeated a World All-Star Team in Times Square, 8-3. U 2015, “Salsa in the Square” featured a meeting between Team USA and Team Cuba in the three Olympic styles, held shortly after the historic change in USA and Cuban political relations. Last year the US met Iran in a dual meet in Times Square as a preview to the 2016 Olimpijske igre.

This will be the eighth straight year in which a major international-style wrestling competition will be hosted as part of the Beat the Streets Benefit activities. U 2010, an all-star challenge featuring top U.S. wrestlers was held on the USS Intrepid, an aircraft carrier docked on the west side of Manhattan.

Top Beat the Streets youth wrestlers will take the mat showcasing their skills in exhibition matches beginning at 3:00 poslije podne. to kick off the NYC Benefit. For the second straight year, the Benefit will feature the PSAL Girls Freestyle Dual Meet Championships finals, showcasing the two top New York City girl’s freestyle wrestling high school teams from the spring girl’s freestyle season. Then it’s Team USA vs. Japan at 6:00 poslije podne. with video highlights and special guest appearances followed by the Beat the Streets Benefit Celebration.

Brand-New IBF Junior Featherweight Champion Jonathan Guzman to be Ringside Friday at Foxwoods

Ostavite komentar
IBF Junior Featherweight Champion Jonathan “Salomon King” Guzman (22-0, 22 KOs) won’t be taking any time to rest on his newly acquired laurels.
The Dominican KO artist won his first world championship yesterday (Srijeda, Juli 20) by stopping former #1 contender Shingo Wake in 11 brutal rounds in Osaka, Japan. Guzman’s power was simply too much for Wake, who fell four times before the end came at 2:16 from merciful referee Wayne Hedgpeth.
The iron-fisted Dominican could easily spend the rest of the summer celebrating the victory, but has no intention to do so.
He is quickly flying home from Japan in order to be ringside sutra (Petak, Juli 22) na Foxwoods Resort u Mashantucket, Konektikat, to watch San Antonio’s Adam Lopez face Argentina’s Roman Ruben Reynoso on ShoBox: The New Generation.
Guzman’s intention is to face the winner of that fight in his first title defense.
His promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing, says Guzman’s victory has only created a new mission for the Dominican slugger.
“He wants to clean out the division now,” rekao Lewkowicz. “We told him to enjoy the victory for himself and his country, but he wants to go right back to work. That is the determination and love for what he does that has made him an undefeated champion with a perfect knockout record. I congratulate him for his first world title and for his commitment to be a true world champion.”
