桑德斯能否取得迄今为止对勒米厄最令人印象深刻的胜利?

比利·乔·桑德斯 (Billy Joe Saunders) 将于 12 月登上擂台 16 在加拿大成为 WBO 中量级卫冕冠军, 早在 12 月就赢得了一条腰带,成为他自豪的拥有者 2015 击败同路人安迪·李时.

 

但自从以多数票胜出爱尔兰人李之后 在曼彻斯特竞技场成为世界冠军, 桑德斯仅两次为其辩护, 以一致判定战胜了阿图尔·阿卡沃夫和小威利·门罗。, 最近.

 

对阵俄罗斯阿卡沃夫比赛, 这位不败的世界冠军得主最终在苏格兰土地上的泻湖休闲中心做出了如此轻松的决定,这远非令人印象深刻,甚至可能是幸运的. 对美国挑战者小门罗的胜利要好得多, 随后任命多米尼克·英格尔为他的最新教练.

 

但后一场比赛仍然是一场单调的比赛,并没有进一步或提振桑德斯’ 吸引更广泛的受众, 因为他轻松地击败了纽约出生的左撇子. 对于大部分卫冕, 他几乎没有被要求去工作, 门罗的比赛计划极其低效.

 

然而, 28岁的 接下来无疑将面临他迄今为止最严峻的职业考验 对阵前 160 磅冠军 David Lemieux, 这是一个比缺乏经验且年轻的小克里斯·尤班克(Chris Eubank Jr)更严峻的挑战, 冷漠的安迪·李和远没有威胁的小威利·门罗.

 

加拿大选手勒米厄 (Lemieux) 实力强劲,将进入环绳赛场 作为最新拳击赔率中的局外人 在本土取得胜利, 对于最近胜利激增的战斗机来说,这是一个有前途的价格. 自从十月份在与分区主力根纳季·戈洛夫金的英勇表现中被恶意阻止以来 2015, 这位28岁的选手已经取得了四连胜, 其中包括格伦·塔皮亚(Glen Tapia)和柯蒂斯·史蒂文斯(Curtis Stevens)的两次大击倒.


迄今为止,桑德斯在所有对手中都曾正面交锋过, 没有人拥有勒米厄那样的出拳力量, 这可能是战斗之夜的决定性因素. 后者的主场希望是由奥斯卡·德拉·霍亚的金童推动的, 他们似乎热衷于将加拿大人与主要摇钱树索尔·卡内洛相匹配’ 阿尔瓦雷斯明年, 而不是把他扔进“GGG”’ 再次在备受期待的复赛中.

 

尽管他是最有希望获胜并保持不败记录的人,但这将是他职业生涯中在英国以外的首次冒险, 看来桑德斯在最近的这次遭遇中胜算不大.

 

已经很明显了, 太, 桑德斯并不拥有强大的力量,能够让脚步敏捷的勒米厄在比赛中远离危险区域. 淘汰赛艺术家勒米厄(Lemieux)在三月份残酷地将史蒂文斯击倒时,创造了最终被评选为年度最佳停赛的比赛’ 纽约市熄灯.

 

在本土,另一场恶性停赛是否会成功?? 桑德斯和英格尔需要完美地执行他们即将到来的比赛计划,以确保在客场取得一场令人印象深刻的胜利, 但这看起来可能是魁北克真正考验的夜晚.

BURNS: I’VE GOT MORE CHAPTERS TO WRITE IN MY CAREER

The ‘Ricksterrelishing battle of Britain in Manchester
Former World champions clash as Anthony Crolla takes on Ricky Burns.这个星期六, 十月, 7日
住在AWE – 娱乐的财富
圣迭戈 (十月 5, 2017) -Ricky Burns believes he can become a World champion once again and wants to prove there’s plenty of chapters to write in his story as he meets Anthony Crolla at the Manchester Arena 周六.

这个星期六 AFTERNOON, October 7th, a pair of former world champions will collide as former lightweight world champion 安东尼克罗拉 battles former three-division champion 瑞奇伯恩斯 in a scheduled 12-round lightweight clash at the 曼彻斯特球场曼彻斯特, 英国, 并将播出 LIVE & EXCLUSIVELY IN THE UNITED STATESAWE- 娱乐的财富. The broadcast will begin at 2 PM ET / 11 我有PT
The fight will also be available on www.klowdtv.com on the AWE Channel.
Three-weight World champion Burns and former Lightweight World ruler Crolla both come into the must-win bout on the back of defeats in unification battles, and the British stars have conceded that defeat would make the road back to the elite-level that they have become accustomed to operating at a long one.
Burns created history as Scotland’s first ever three-weight king and the Coatbridge star is confident that a win in Manchester would put him back at the top table and in the running for a 14th World title fight in 2018 to continue his remarkable journey in boxing.
I look at every fight as a must-win fight,” said Burns. “The incentive that has been put in front of us with the possibility of challenging for the World title again, I need to make sure that I go out and win this which I am confident of doing.
This is my first time fighting in Manchester so I am sure it’s going to be a great night for the fans. I’ve got so much respect for Anthony, he’s a brilliant fighter and this is going to be a cracking fight.
We’re both in the same boat now, coming back after a loss and looking to get our names back amongst the big boys. There were a few names mentioned for my next fight but this was the only fight that I wanted once I knew it could be made.
I know that there’s a good crowd coming down from Glasgow but any boxing fan is going to win with this fight, you know what you are going to get when we fight, we’ll lay it all on the line and the best man will win.
People are saying to me now ‘if you lose this what are you going to do?’ That thought hasn’t crossed my mind. I know this is a hard fight but the carrot of a possible World title fight means that the rewards are massive, but I didn’t need any more incentive for this fight, that just topped it off for me.
Over the last year everyone has asked when I am going to retire over the last year. 我有 48 fights but I’ve never come out of the ring with my face in a state, I still enjoying training and the sparring and fighting side of it are the best parts in my eyes.
If there ever came a point that I was coming out hurt fight after fight, or in the gym sparring these young hungry kids and taking too many punches, I’d know myself that it’d be time to call it a day, but I know that I’ve got lots of big nights left in me and I am confident that 星期六 is going to be one of them.
I’ve never thought about what I’ve done in my career because it’s nowhere near finished yet. I’m not retiring until boxing is out of my system. The last thing I want to do is pack it in too early and then a year down the line want to come back. I won’t be done until I hate training and I am fed up with dieting.
I may have over-achieved in some people’s eyes, but I’ve worked my arse off to get to where I have. People see you turn up and fight but only those closest to you see what I do two or three times a day, seven days a week for 12 weeks before a fight, I knock my pan in.
Look who Anthony has boxed over the last two years, he’s only boxed the best. He’s lost to Linares but he went 24 rounds and he wasn’t knocked out or badly hurt at all. You are losing to guys at the elite level, these are incredible fighters and this is my job, if you have a rough day at the office you come back again the next day and make sure you are better.
I’ve always admitted that I’m not the best boxer ever, but if you are going to beat me, you’re going to have to be really good or you will have to work for it because the way I train I am confident I will be there at a great pace for the full 12 rounds and my mental toughness is one of my best attributes.
Burns and Crolla clash on a huge night of action in Manchester as Sam Eggington defends his European Welterweight title for the first time against mandatory challenger Mohamed Mimoune and Robbie Barrett also makes a maiden defence against a mandatory predator as he puts his British Lightweight strap on the line against undefeated Lewis Ritson.
Some of Britain’s brightest stars from both sides of the border are in action with Crolla’s trainer Joe Gallagher having a busy night with Scotty Cardle, Hosea Burton, Marcus Morrison and Sam Hyde all gloving up, while Burns is joined by fellow countrymen Charlie Flynn and Joe Ham.
Former World Bantamweight title challenger Gavin McDonnell looks to get back in line for a second crack at the big one, rising Welterweight star Conor Benn fights for the ninth time in the paid ranks and local talents Jake Haigh and Ryan Doyle also feature.

JORGE LINARES DEFENDS WBA LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL® FROM MANCHESTER ENGLAND

纽约 (三月 25, 2017) – Jorge Linares defended his WBA Lightweight World Championship with a unanimous decision victory over Anthony Crolla 星期六 evening on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL from Manchester, 英国. The win sets Linares up for a possible unification fight with WBC Lightweight World Champion Mikey Garcia, a matchup that would be considered one of the best that can be made in any weight class.

周六 main event from Manchester Arena aired live on SHOWTIME. Live fight coverage was provided by Sky Sports with Adam Smith calling play-by-play and world champion Carl Froch serving as ringside analyst. Garcia joined SHOWTIME Sports host Brian Custer and analysts Al Bernstein and Paul Malignaggi to provide commentary from a New York studio.

Linares and Crolla previously fought a fierce, closely contested battle last September, one that Linares won by just a few rounds. 周六, Linares retained the belt by a wide margin—118-109 on all three scorecards—virtually outclassing Crolla from the outset.

“He seems to be getting better with age,” said Froch, sharing a growing sentiment among boxing pundits.

Linares (42-3, 27 KO的) cruised through much of the fight with an impressive display of boxing skill and power. A precisely timed uppercut floored Crolla in the seventh. Moments later Linares nearly finished him with a flurry against the ropes. 克罗拉, 然而, would not go quietly. The Manchester native, perhaps spurned by his home crowd, bravely grew more aggressive in the second half of the fight. But Linares was simply too sharp, too fast and too comfortable for Crolla to overcome.

Mikey Garcia is coming off a brilliant knockout of world champion Dejan Zlaticanin in January and is hungry for a unification bout.

“第一关, I congratulate Jorge Linares for a great win,”加西亚说,. “His skill, flexibility, combinations and power were definitely impressive. I hope we can make a fight as soon as possible. He didn’t look cut or hurt so maybe we can fight this summer.”

Jorge Linares and Anthony Crolla held a final press conference 周四 在曼彻斯特, 英国, for their rematch 这个星期六 for the WBA Lightweight World Championship, 住在Showtime (6 P.M. AND/3 P.M. PT) 从曼彻斯特竞技场.

 

Linares (41-3, 27 科斯) dethroned Crolla (31-5-3, 13 科斯) 在一场势均力敌, back-and-forth battle last September in Manchester to capture the WBA crown. 该 七. 24 match was the first time the three-division titlist Linares was pushed the 12-round distance in his nine career world title fights.

 

Crolla has had success in immediate rematches. 在 2015, he challenged Darley Perez for the WBA Lightweight Title and fought to a draw. Four months later, he knocked out Perez in five rounds to win the 135-pound title.

 

WBC Lightweight World Champion Mikey Garcia will join the SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL announce team as a guest analyst alongside host Brian Custer and analysts Al Bernstein and Paulie Malignaggi.

 

加西亚 (36-0, 30 科斯), who won the WBC belt in emphatic fashion this January on SHOWTIME, may be scouting his future opponent – the WBC has mandated that the winner of Linares-Crolla II must face Garcia.

 

Here’s what the fighters had to say at 周四 记者招待会:

 

JORGE LINARES:

“I know once again I have everyone against me in his backyard, but that’s why I trained hard.

 

“I’m not coming in here feeling like the champion. I’m coming in here feeling like the challenger because I know I have to win very clear to go back home with a win.

 

“It’s going to be a different Crolla this time. I have to perform like I know I can to defend my belts.

 

“我度过了一个很棒的夏令营. I’m anxious. I can’t wait to show you 周六 夜晚, put it all together and return home with my belts.”

 

ANTHONY CROLLA:

 

“I’ve always been better going in as the underdog. 我知道 周六 night I’m going to need to be the very best Anthony Crolla to beat Jorge Linares. I really believe that if I show the improvements that I’ve made in the gym then I’ll get my belt back.

 

“I hope he comes in looking for the knockout. If Jorge comes looking for the knockout he breaks away from what he’s best at. 和, if he does so, I believe it falls right into my hands.

 

I’ve got to be cutting off the ring quicker this time. I’ve got to respond in bunches a little bit more. There are so many obstacles that are going to be put in front of me from Jorge Linares, but I believe I will have an answer for every one of them.

 

It was one of the fights of the year last time. I can certainly see us both being even better this time.

 

“There’s a lot of people out there who think there is no way I can beat Jorge Linares, but I believe 周六 night I’ll prove an awful lot of people wrong.”

WBA Lightweight World Champion Jorge Linares and former champion Anthony Crolla participated in a public workout at National Football Museum in Manchester, 英国 周二 in preparation for their rematch 这个星期六, 住在Showtime (6 P.M. AND/3 P.M. PT) 从曼彻斯特竞技场.

 

Linares (41-3, 27 科斯) dethroned Crolla (31-5-3, 13 科斯) in an action-packed battle last September in Manchester to capture the WBA crown. Crolla and Linares were neck-and-neck going into the sixth round until Linares rocked the hometown favorite with a series of shots that galvanized the Venezuelan toward a close 115-114, 115-113 和 117-111 一致决定.

 

七. 24 match was the first time the three-division titlist Linares, who also holds the WBC Diamond and Ring Magazine lightweight belts, was pushed the 12-round distance in his career.

 

The WBC has mandated that the winner of Linares-Crolla II must face undefeated WBC Lightweight Champion Mikey Garcia, who will join host Brian Custer and analysts Al Bernstein and Paulie Malignaggi in New York for the SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL presentation.

 

Below are fight week quotes from Linares and Crolla:

 

JORGE LINARES:

 

“Crolla could come better prepared than last time. Maybe he will throw more punches, maybe he will box more, I don’t really know. The most important thing is I hope he has worked really hard and comes in great condition so there are no excuses and no doubts after the fight.

 

“I can fight even better this time. Before the first fight I had a broken right hand and I hadn’t fought for a while. That’s always a factor, 你知道? Inactivity. I haven’t had any issues physically or mentally, so the preparation has been great. We did 129 rounds of sparring and everything has gone well up to this point.

 

“I know he has been quiet in the build-up, I don’t mind if he hasn’t spoken much lately. Let’s just hope it’s a clean fight like the first one.”

 

“The plans are in the future to get the biggest fights. Obviously the priority right now is to stay focused 周六 but then I’ll look towards the big fights like against Mikey Garcia.

 

“I really think coming to train with Ismael Salas made the difference. It’s what helped me really establish myself as a professional fighter and to gain more experience. We learn ‘old school’ as Salas always says. It really has worked well for me in the two years I’ve been with him.”

 

“I feel really good because this time we had a lot more time to prepare. We did some of the training camp in Japan and then eight weeks in Las Vegas.

 

“I’m happy to be back here in England again and have another opportunity. I get treated very well, I feel comfortable fighting here. The fans here have a lot of boxing knowledge and they know me well. It’s nice, I feel at home.”

 

ANTHONY CROLLA:

 

“It will be another good fight, 这是肯定的. Our styles gel really well and I don’t see how it can’t be another good fight, but this time I see a different winner. The key will be adapting. I might need to adapt a number of times in the fight but it is something I have trained for.

 

“I learned a lot from that fight. Linares has very good speed, very good ring craft and he used his big fight experience for when to take a rest, when to turn it on for the judges.

 

“This time I know I need to deal with the flashy combinations better, cut the ring off better and capitalize when he is open for shots.

 

“He has said he will come with another game plan but so will we. Last time I gave it everything, left it all in the ring, but I came up short. The right man won on the night and now I have a second chance at winning back the belt and beating a great fighter.

 

“I was disappointed I lost – you should never be happy with losing – but I was satisfied I gave everything on the night. When I watched it again there were things in the fight where I thought, ‘why didn’t I do this, why didn’t I do that’, but that is what I did do in the heat of the battle.

 

“You see people online saying Linares is a level above and that he outclassed me – he obviously didn’t outclass me because two of the judges only had a point in it. The right man won and now I need to show my improvements and make sure the result is different.

 

“Last time out in Manchester I lost a close fight but with the improvements I have been making in the gym I believe this time it will be a different result.

 

“The rematch was always top of my list. Linares is top of the pile in the lightweight division and if there was a chance of having a rematch that was always more important to me than any other fight. I want to fight the best and be involved in the big fights and that’s what this is.

 

“I want the chance to stake my claim as the best lightweight in the world by going out there and beating him.

 

“I wasn’t going to turn down a rematch to try and ease myself back into title contention. I want these big fights; these big nights in Manchester are what I thrive on.

 

“I feel better than I have ever felt. Camp has gone really well and there will certainly be no excuses. I have had no distractions outside of camp and everything is good. It is a matter now of showing in the ring 今晚 the improvements I have been showing in the gym.

 

“I have had no social life for the past few months and I will walk to the ring knowing that, knowing I have prepared in the best way I possibly can. There will be no ‘what if I had done this’, ‘what if I had done that’ – I have prepared the best I possibly can.”

I’m excited to participate as guest analyst for this rematch,”加西亚说,. “These are two of the most competitive boxers in my division. Jorge Linares won the first fight, but Crolla can create a different outcome.

 

Linares has good hand speed, timing, reflexes and has power in both hands. Crolla has a good right hand and has shown some solid body work in his recent fights. While Crolla is getting better with each fight, Linares is likely still the better boxer, and should edge him out in a close fight.

 

Linares (41-3, 27 科斯) dethroned Crolla (31-5-3, 13 科斯) in a thrilling battle last fall in Manchester to capture the WBA crown. 该 七. 24 match was the first time the three-division titlist Linares, who also holds the WBC Diamond and Ring Magazine lightweight belts, was pushed the 12-round distance in his career.

 

The WBC has mandated that the winner of Linares-Crolla II must face the hard-hitting Garcia, who knocked out defending champion Dejan Zlaticanin on 一月. 28 on SHOWTIME in just his second fight back following a 30-month layoff.

 

Linares-Crolla II is the second lightweight world title bout on SHOWTIME in 2017 and an important fight toward potentially unifying the resurgent 135-pound division.

The WBC has mandated that the winner of Linares-Crolla II must face the winner of this Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING matchup between WBC Lightweight World Champion 德扬Zlaticanin and undefeated two-division titlist 米奇·加西亚.

 

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

 

JORGE LINARES:

“I wasn’t supposed to win the first fight, but I’m glad I did so I can come back and do it again.

 

“The belts mean so much to me and my country, and I am going to work very hard to make sure that I take them home again.

 

“It’s a new year and a new day. Anthony is going to be better and hungrier, and that means I will work harder, come with more skill and an even better game plan to win.

 

“I hope to see another huge crowd in Manchester and we’re going to provide the fans with another beautiful fight.”

 

ANTHONY CROLLA:

“I want the belt back, simple. Fighting for these prizes in front of us is huge. I’m so lucky to have a second chance and it’s one I have to take.

 

“It was a special night last time, great crowd and it’ll be even bigger this time. The setting was perfect but I lost my belt. I lost to a great fighter but I don’t celebrate losing, I don’t want to feel it again and I want to go down in history by beating a great fighter.

 

“I am better in rematches and I’m locking myself away to work harder and smarter to make sure these belts stay here.

 

“Jorge is the best and I want to be the best – beating him stakes my claim. I didn’t win the first one but I had success and I can work on that.

 

“We’ve both got great teams behind us, and I believe if I make the right changes for the fight I will take the titles.”

 

埃迪·赫恩:

“The first fight was a hell of a fight. Anthony was the favorite and now Jorge is the favorite.

 

“Anthony is the challenger in this rematch. He’s had success in rematches before – he did it against Darleys Perez and he came back better. He needs to do that again against Jorge, 别. 1 中科.

 

“It gives me huge pleasure to announce that the fight will be on SHOWTIME in the U.S. and I want to thank Stephen Espinosa and his team for making this happen.”

 

JOE GALLAGHER:

“I need a nasty Anthony Crolla for this fight. Jorge is the best in the world so I need to keep him locked away and getting nasty – he won’t be doing any fan signings or selling tickets. If you like Anthony and care about him, leave him alone, let him work, and come and watch him win on the night.”

 

ROBERT DIAZ:

“I didn’t know how Jorge was going to react to the fans as I know that Anthony has great fans. I think that Jorge won a lot of fans that night and he’ll have his share in the rematch.

 

“Anthony didn’t have to take the fight, he could’ve gone elsewhere and got some wins, but that shows what a man this guy is. He wants the belts and we expect a better Anthony. I said you would see the best Jorge ever and you did – he’s going to be even better this time.”
