Av Tony Penecale

 

Det er rivalisering som er legendarisk gjennom historien. The Hatfields and The McCoys, Capulets og de Montagues og The New York Yankees og Boston Red Sox er alle bitre rivalisering. It can be argued that the most brutal is the long-standing boxing rivalry between Puerto Rican fighters against their Mexican counterparts. The next chapter matches the experience and heavy hands of Puerto Rican icon Miguel Cotto against the youth and power of Mexican dynamo Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. When they meet on Saturday night, både jagerfly vil være bærer stolthet sitt land inn i ringen og i mantra av spartanske krigere, de vil dukke opp fra kampen med et skjold eller på det. Who will be carrying his shield at the end of their encounter and who will be carried out on his?

STIL

 

Kokt:

En fysisk STALKER hvem bokser fra den ortodokse holdning, Cotto har utviklet bedre boksing ferdigheter, men fortsatt foretrekker å komme rett fram, og slitasje motstandere ned med en ondskapsfull kropp angrep. Cotto favors hooks and uppercuts to straight punches and turns every bout into a war of attrition. Doesn’t have lights-out punching power but is very punishing. Most of his stoppage victories have come late, etter at motstanderen har blitt slitt ned. Will often leave himself open to counters when trying to unleash his offense.

 

Alvarez:

En aggressiv, fysisk fighter med undervurderte boksing ferdigheter og hurtighet, Alvarez bærer ofte motstandere ned med konsekvent press og hardhendte slag. Will use feints and counters to throw is opponents timing off and create openings for a strength-sapping body attack. Carries fight-changing power in both hands but sometimes doesn’t throw enough punches. While he is most known for his offensive skills, Alvarez har anstendig, men ikke stor, defensive ferdigheter slipping og blokkerer slag.

 

STYRKER

 

Kokt:

* Body Attack - Cotto er ganske muligens den beste kroppen puncher i idretten i dag. He wings thunderous hooks on the inside that make contact with whatever is available: ribbe, skuldre, torso, kiste, og armer, med straffe resultater.

 

* Styrke - Cotto er en sterk og fysisk fighter. Even as he has grown from junior welterweight up to middleweight, Han er fortsatt en fysisk makt, i stand til å slite ned større motstandere.

 

* Heart - Cotto bærer mye av stolthet når han går inn i ringen. He has been in a number of wars where he’s been cut, slått ned, eller i andre uønskede situasjoner, og Cotto har vist en mester hjerte.

 

Alvarez:

* Bokse Power - Alvarez bærer torden i begge nevene. He is knockout power in either hand, men hans mest ødeleggende våpen befinner seg i sin venstre hook. A single left hook rendered the iron-jawed Carlos Baldomir unconscious and his knockout of James Kirkland was a potential knockout of the year candidate.

 

* Styrke - Alvarez er en fysisk modning og tett-bygget fighter med uncanny styrke. He is effective in backing fighters up, selv når den ikke er landing strakt slag. Against the smaller Josesito Lopez, han løftet ham av hans føtter og sendte ham til lerretet med slag som landet mot motstanderens bryst.

 

* Straffe Body Attack - Alvarez foretrekker å bære sine motstandere ned i den tradisjonelle meksikanske mote straffe kroppen. While he is economical with his punches, han leverer maksimal innflytelse på hvert slag, spesielt knuse venstre hook til leveren.

 

SVAKHETER

 

Kokt:

* Effekter av Wars - Cotto har konkurrert mot verdensklasse opposisjonen i over et tiår. He suffered two brutal losses to Antonio Margarito and Manny Pacquiao and suffered punishment in his wins over Ricardo Torres, Zab Judah, og Shane Mosley. While he has had a resurgence working with Freddie Roach, den kumulative effekten av hans tidligere kriger kan være en skade.

 

* Lett å Hit - Cotto har gjort forbedringer med sitt forsvar, men fortsatt har den tankegangen at hans beste forsvar er et godt angrep. His wide open offense and relentless body attack often leaves him open to be hit with counterpunches, primært kroker og uppercuts.

 

* Chin - Kombinert med en straffbar handling som forlater ham utsatt for å motvirke slag, Cotto sin vaklende haken kan være en oppskrift på katastrofe. Cotto was wobbled or dropped in several of his earlier fights and then battered, blodig og TKO'd i sine kamper mot Margarito (1st kampen) og Pacquiao. Even the light-punching Floyd Mayweather staggered him late in their fight.

 

Alvarez:

* En Dimensional - Alvarez ikke tilpasse seg godt i mid-kampen. He comes in with a single game-plan and has not shown the ability to adjust even when his tactics are not working. He struggled in his wins over Austin Trout and Erislandy Lara and was easily out-boxed against Mayweather.

 

* Fatigue - Alvarez jobber hardt i gym og er alltid i god form, men ofte finner det vanskelig å gå full tilt for en hel runde, særlig ettersom hans kamper gå inn i midten eller senere runder. In his match with Austin Trout, Alvarez viste alvorlig utmattelse til tider, og selv befant seg sikkerhetskopiering.

 

* Lett å Hit -Alvarez er fortsatt et lovbrudd første type fighter som liker å bruke press for motstanderne. He will leave himself open to counter punches, spesielt høyre hånd og benke venstre kroker.

 

FORRIGE BOUT

 

Kokt:

(6/6/15) - Cotto revet australske Daniel Geale i en mellomvekt tittelen forsvar, banke ham ut i fire runder. After winning the first three rounds, Cotto floored Geale to ganger i 4th runde, tvang ham til å overgi seg.

 

Alvarez:

(5/9/15) - Alvarez vant potensialet Fight-of-2015 med en kandidat for Knockout-of-the Year, ødelegge James Kirkland i tre runder. The limited but dangerous Kirkland attacked early and the slugfest was initiated. Alvarez scored three knockdowns including a final right hand the rendered Kirkland unconscious.

 

3 Beste prestasjoner

 

Kokt:

* Sergio Martinez (6/7/14) - Cotto opprørt høyt ansett, men aldrende og skadeutsatte "Maravilla" Martinez. Cotto started quickly flooring the middleweight champion three times in the opening round and punished him throughout until the bout was halted in the 10th runde.

 

* Zab Judah (6/9/07) - Cotto måtte tåle noen vanskelige stunder tidlig mot snarlig southpaw, får rocked og lider et kutt under hans leppe. Cotto’s relentless pressure gradually broke down Judah, uttapping hans styrke. Cotto finished the show, slippe Juda i 9. runde før slutt stopper ham i 11 runder.

 

* Alfonso Gomez (4/12/08) - Cotto satt på en fantastisk skjerm, blande boksing ferdigheter med en ondskapsfull kropp angrep for å helt utslette populære "Contender" alum Gomez etter 5. runde TKO. Cotto dominated the action and scored knockdowns in the 2nd, 3rd, og 5. runder, slo Gomez til underkastelse.

 

Alvarez:

* James Kirkland (5/9/15) - Det var den 2015 versjon av Hagler-Hearns. Kirkland attacked relentlessly at the bell and Alvarez responded in kind. Alvarez scored a knockdown in the 1st runde og forpurret Kirkland sin korte øyeblikk av suksess, gulv ham med en uppercut i 3rd runde, før etterbehandling ham med en pittoresk høyre hånd bare noen øyeblikk senere.

 

* Kermit Cintron (11/26/11) - Å gjøre sin 3rd Tittelen forsvar, Alvarez gjorde det ser lett mot falmet tidligere weltervekt mester. Alvarez made Cintron appear older than his true age of 32, og straffet ham med letthet. Alvarez scored a knockdown in the 4th runde før batte ham nådeløst og tvinge en stans i 5th.

 

* Carlos Baldomir (9/18/10) - Alvarez var 20 år gamle vidunder overfor en holdbar tidligere verdensmester i Baldomir. Alvarez was successful boxing early and using his advantages in speed and skill to sweep the first five rounds. But it was his display in the 6th that was memorable. Alvarez rocked Baldomir before finally dropping with a left hook, gjengi ham bevisstløs før han treffer matten og håndtere ham hans eneste stans tap i en 16-årig karriere.

 

Nøkkelen til seier

 

Kokt:

* Bruk fotarbeid og vinkler for å holde Alvarez av balanse

 

* Ikke stå tå til tå med naturlig større Alvarez

 

* Land tidlig å få Alvarez respekt

 

Alvarez:

* Holde trykket på Cotto og kuttet av ringen

* Ut jab Cotto og tvinge ham til å handle slag

 

* Vær tålmodig tidlig og slitasje Cotto ned

 

SPØRSMÅL

 

Kokt:

* Kan Cotto stå opp til en yngre og større motstander?

 

* Var hans siste to seire mer av et tilfelle av Vendt falmet eller begrenset motstand?

 

* Hvor mye koster Cotto egentlig har igjen?

 

Alvarez:

* Kan Alvarez endre sin gameplan hvis han faller bak tidlig?

 

* Vil hans defensive forpliktelser bli eksponert mot en slik farlig puncher?

 

* Er Alvarez fortsatt forbedring?

 

PENECALE Tippe

 

Cotto vil åpne utnytte hans undervurderte boksing ferdigheter og hurtighet, flytte sidelengs, og jabbing i et forsøk på å holde Alvarez fra å sette sine føtter. Alvarez will advance trying to establish his own jab and work the body. Whenever Alvarez gets too close, Cotto vil svinge unna og tråkke på vinkel med noen harde jabs. The first two rounds will be strategical but tense. The eruption can happen at any time.

 

Handlingen vil begynne å intensivere i 3rd runde som Alvarez stadig blir tettere og krefter Cotto å begynne å stå sin bakken. Like a couple of mountain rams butting heads and locking horns, kraft slag vil begynne å fly. Cotto will throw flashier combinations, med halvstikk rettigheter til hodet, venstre kroker til kroppen, og harde jabs til ansikt og overkropp. Alvarez will dig his toes in and throw thumping single shots, uppercuts og kroker, både for hode og kropp, som resulterer i et slite henhold Cotto venstre øye og blod siver ut av munnen.

 

Gjennom midten runder, Cotto overlegne boksing og skillset vil ha ham litt i forkant på scorekort men Alvarez størrelse og styrke fordel vil være, sakte og sikkert, iført Cotto ned. Cotto’s three-and-four-punch combinations will gradually reduce to two-punch combinations and single hooks to the body. The slower pace will favor Alvarez and he will be able to control the tempo and dig in with hard punches to the body and right hands to the face.

 

Går inn i 7th runde, med bout nesten selv og sensing han ikke kan skade større Alvarez, Cotto vil komme tilbake hans fokus tilbake til boksing på utsiden. The change in tactic will momentarily bewilder Alvarez, som var blitt komfortabel trading i skyttergravene. The brief momentum shift will allow Cotto to regain a slight lead on the scorecards.

 

Innser at han er bak og møter en motstander som er sakte fading, Alvarez vil gjelde blemmer trykket i 9th runde, stalking Cotto, tvinge ham til å flytte eller slå for å overleve, og forårsaker ham til å bruke dyrebar energi i å gjøre det. Whenever they get close, Alvarez vil bruke skuldrene til muskel Cotto og klippet ham med korte kroker og uppercuts, øyeblikk svimlende ham i 10th runde.

 

Med ansiktet morphing inn i en grotesk maske av blod og hevelse, en tilsynelatende brukt Cotto vil gå for blakk i 11th, angripe desperat og winging noen av hans beste kroker til kroppen og hodet. Alvarez will be happy to trade hooks with him and the action will be intense. Late in the round, Alvarez vil lande en flush uppercut som Cotto er vidåpne og puertoricanske fighter vil falle på kne, hans venstre øye nesten lukket og munnen lekker blod. His heart will pull him to his feet and Alvarez will come in for the kill, backing Cotto til tauene der utveksling av slag er bare stanset av gongongen.

 

Etter å berøre hansker for å starte den siste runden, Alvarez vil angripe Cotto fra utbruddet. A pair of right hands to the side of the head will wobble Cotto, tvang ham til å rave til tauene og falle på kne. Referee Robert Byrd will administer the count with Cotto rising at the count of 8, heftig motstridende at han er OK for å fortsette. As soon as Byrd waves the fighters back together, Alvarez vil våren gjennom ringen, landing en høyre hånd og venstre uppercut. As Cotto falls back against the neutral corner, Byrd vil gå inn mellom dem og stoppe kampen, signale Alvarez som vinner.

 

Vinneren av TKO på 59 sekunder av 12h runde vil være Saul "Canelo" Alvarez!!!!

I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10th) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

 

Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

 

I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, meni kveld was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Leo Santa Cruz. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, from top to bottom, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.

 

Escandon felt he’d done enough to win despite injuring the right index finger on his right hand in the seventh round.

I did all that I could, everything was in my reach, but I think I broke or fractured my finger,” han sa. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control. Because I hurt my hand, I couldn’t throw punches the way I wanted to with my right hand. I tried to do all I could with it. But I didn’t want to injure it further. I’m OK, but I definitely would love a rematch.

 

In the SHOWTIME EXTREME co-feature, super weltervekt Omar “El Businessman”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 KOs), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Jr. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, hardt kjempet, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 KOs), of Arjona, Colombia.

What the fighters, trainers and executives said Torsdag:

 

Julio Cesar CHAVEZ JR., Tidligere verdensmester

I had a great training camp. I feel better than ever. I am ready for the fight.

 

I know that this is a new weight class for me. I realize that Fonfara is very tough and bigger than me, but I am up for the challenge.

 

I have worked on my boxing during my one year off, and I am very excited and motivated to get back in the ring.

 

I have worked so hard for this fight because I am fighting in a new weight class. I must punch harder, so I have focused on getting stronger during this training camp.

 

I have a great chin, I know how to take punches and my conditioning is great. A lot of fighters can take a punch, but I can take multiple punches and not be hurt.

 

I think that Andrzej Fonfara is one of the best fighters in the light heavyweight division. Inside of boxing, everyone knows who Fonfara is. He knocked down one of the best boxers in the world in Adonis Stevenson.

 

Fonfara is disciplined in the ring, but he doesn’t vary his punches.

 

I understand that my dad didn’t want me to take this fight. I had bigger names I could’ve fought, but I think that Fonfara is a great challenge for me and I like the challenge.

 

I would like to thank SHOWTIME for making this fight happen.

 

Andrzej Fonfara, World Title Challenger

I’m prepared very well and I’m ready for this fight. It’s been a great camp like always. I train hard for each fight. I’m a tough boxer who is feeling great. The weight is good and everything is perfect.

 

I must put everything into Lørdag night and I will win the fight.

 

I must look even better than I did against Stevenson. Everyone said I looked good, but I lost the fight. I didn’t want congratulations because I did not win the fight. But this time I will win the fight. I’m ready for a decision or for a knockout.

 

I’m ready with a couple of plans. I don’t want to run around the ring, I want to fight tough. I’m going to use my jab and my right hand, which is my best punch.

 

I’m not worried about what his father said about not fighting me. Chavez Jr. wants to fight and I will show him that his father was right.

 

It doesn’t matter how I win, I want to win this fight and get my rematch with Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Chavez Jr. er en stor fighter. He uses a lot of combinations and has a powerful punch that I must be ready for. I want to show the whole world how good I am when I win this fight på lørdag.

 

If I get the chance, Jeg kommer til å slå ham ut. It’s boxing so you never know what will happen. I want to box round-by-round and win this fight.

 

I lost the fight with Stevenson but I showed that I was a good boxer. I’m a much smarter fighter now because of that experience. That was a fight at the top championship level.

 

It doesn’t matter what Chavez Jr. says at a press conference, we’ll be in the ring Lørdagand everything will happen there.

 

Fan’s can expect heavy punches, knockdowns and a great fight.

 

AMIR LOVE, Ubeseiret Super Lett Contender

I’m confident going into this fight because of how I train. I have put my heart and soul into this sport since I moved to Florida three years ago. I left everything behind to better myself.

 

I’m going to stay smart and composed in there and do everything I can to get the win.

 

I don’t feel like I need the knockout to come away with a successful fight. Men, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“I 2015, Jeg ønsker å bli en verdensmester. This is my breakout year. A lot of people have been buzzing about me. I want to become the WBC world champion, that’s what I’m heading for.

 

“Jeg vet han er [Slott] a good opponent, he’s got a great resume, and he’s coming to fight. He has a great record, so that alone shows what he’s capable of. Slik som Lørdag night may the better man win.

 

I’ve boxed styles like [hans] plenty of times, but you never know, he could come out different Lørdagnatt.

 

I’m ready to put on a great show for the SHOWTIME audience.

 

CASTILLO WALTER, Super Lett Contender

I’m coming here to fight. I can tell you one thing, Amir Imam made a big mistake by taking this fight.

 

I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters; my two losses were by decisions where I feel I was robbed. I’ve fought better fighters than Amir has.

 

“Slik som Lørdag, I’m going to announce to the whole world that Walter Castillo is here to stay and he’s going to be a world champion.

SR Julio Cesar CHAVEZ.

Being in Los Angeles is like being in Mexico for me; I have had many great memories. I became the world champion for this first time here and my son also became the world champion for the first time here, også.

 

Julio definitely has a very difficult fight ahead of him.

 

If I was Julio’s manager, I wouldn’t have taken this fight. Fonfara is a difficult and tough fighter.

 

My son wants to fight fighters of quality and wants credibility in boxing.

 

Julio has worked and trained very hard for this fight .He has the capability to win and we expect that it will go very well.

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez’ Trener

Julio has a window here the next five, six, seven years that he can capitalize on.

 

I think he’s left the childish stuff behind, and we’re all guilty of being childish.

 

I think that Julio has surprised his father with his determination heading into this fight.

He’s got a left hook to the liver that just sends a shock through your body.

 

He’s not soft. He’s a real fighter. I have been around enough fighters to know that he’s a real fighter. Nummer en, he has the never-say- die attitude in there.

 

We’re up against a very well-schooled, blue collar, workmanlike fighter in Fonfara.

 

He is an athletic, improvisational fighter, in that you don’t know where everything’s coming from.

 

I’ve watched a lot of Fonfara tape, and he pretty much repeats what he does, but he repeats it well.

 

This is going to be a battle. You’ve got two contrasting styles and personalities.

 

Julio has 51 fights under his belt. He’s no rookie and he comes from a great bloodline. (In the short time I’ve been with him, it has been) more of an association than a dictatorial effort between the two of us.

 

Based on former camps, he’s never really extracted himself from comfortable surroundings and put himself in a position where he is completely isolated like he was in Lake Tahoe.

 

SAM COLONNA, Fonfara’s Trainer

Fonfara could turn it up whenever. He could be down on the scorecards and one punch he throws could change someone’s world. He’s proven in the past that he has power in both hands.

 

The styles in this fight are perfect for each other. When people ask about the fight I say it could go either way, it depends on who catches the other first.

 

I’m looking for Fonfara to dominate, but Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is a warrior, he comes to fight, he knows how to go to the body like his father used to, so we’ve been working on all of these strategies.

 

A knockout win would be a dream come true to me. That’s what I’ve been looking for all these years. Winning this huge fight would change everything for Fonfara and myself.

 

This camp that Andrzej had was the best we’ve ever had. He worked hard, he had time to train and there’s no excuses.

 

We’re coming to fight a war. Don’t forget that wars are won by strategy.

 

People say to listen to your father. His father told him not to take this fight, but he took it anyway and that was a mistake.

 

I see this fight not going past 10 runder, with us getting the knockout.

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Imamens Trainer

Amir has always trained very hard, but I did see a change in him in this training camp after the last fight. He has stepped up his training by two levels.

 

He learned a lot about his fight against [Fidel Maldonado] under the bright SHOWTIME lights at the MGM Grand.

 

Amir is always confident going into each fight, but he made a mistake in the Maldonado fight. He rolled his right hand and forgot about the left hand and was knocked down. He had to pay for his mistakes but it’s all a learning experience, he still has only 16 professional fights under his belt.

 

Castillo has a great jab and good combinations. A guy like that throws a lot of punches, but there is a technique to breaking down a fighter like that.

 

We can’t spend a lot of time on the ropes, and we must go after his body because his body is weak. Castillo is going to get knocked out på lørdag.

 

I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes på lørdag.”
