Unbeaten Mykquan Williams staying in boxing shape as much as possible under pandemic conditions

MANCHESTER, Conn. (March 23, 2020) – Like most professional boxers, unbeaten super lightweight prospect“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 Kos) is making the most out of a challenging situation, as he prepares for his unknown future in boxing.

The coronavirus has shutdown boxing worldwide. Events are suspended indefinitely, boxers restricted in terms of training, and the immediate future remains tenuous at best.

Unable to train at his gym, Manchester ROCS, which is closed due to a Connecticut state order, the 21-year-old Williams is handling this pandemic in a mature manner that belies his young age. No whining, no ‘poor me’ feelings.

”This is a difficult time for everybody, including those of us in boxing,” East Hartford (CT) resident Williams said. “There’s no boxing on TV, nobody can compete, and everybody is isolated. It’s just unfortunate, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Health concerns are and should always be the top priority.”

Williams hasn’t been in action since last October 24th, when he fought to a questionable eighth-round majority draw withTre’Sean Wiggins, in which Williams retained his World Boxing Council (WBC) United States (USNBC) super lightweight title. Most observers felt that Williams deserved a win by decision.

Since the beginning of 2020, Williams had been training for an expected fight in the first third of the year, and he’s still training to stay in shape, albeit it not the same way as if he had a confirmed fight date.

“I’m still doing some training,” Williams explained. “I need to stay in shape for when the call comes after boxing returns. I’m in decent shape and when I get my next fight date, I won’t have to go from zero to get ready. I want to maintain 50 ra 60 percent shape and then finish off training on schedule for my next fight.”

“I know Mykey has still been running,” Williams’ head trainerPaul Cichon added. “We’re going to be back training soon. I believe everything happens for a reason. Mykey and me had a conference call with (manager) Jackie Kallen eta (sustatzailea) Lou DiBella, and we trust that, as soon as possible, Mykey will be back in action.”

Because Williams doesn’t turn 22 until this April 6, in addition to already being a pro boxer for nearly four years, his young boxing career figures to resume quicker and stronger than for many older boxers. Losing six months shouldn’t hinder a prospect like Williams as much as a veteran who may not have nearly as much comparable quality competitive time left in the ring.

“I’m not sure if age is that big an advantage,” Williams countered. “If some fighters were getting burned out because they were fighting a lot, taking time off, whether it’s due to the virus or not, a break may help them come back better and stronger than when they last fought.”

Williams was a five-time national amateur champion, konpilatzean bat 45-13 Erregistro amateur, highlighted by three Ringside World titles, in addition to gold medal performances at the National PAL and National Silver Gloves championship.

“I don’t know when boxing will return,” Williams concluded, “but boxing will never die. People will always want to see guys punching each other in the face. Boxing is a sport rich in tradition and, oraintxe, there is still a lot of talent coming up.”

And Mykquan Williams will be right at the head of that next wave when the boxing ban is finally lifted.

Jon Jones isuna Kokaina erabilera, Baina UFC Argia Heavyweight txapelduna oraindik Badirudi eskuratzen Tratamendu bereziak Kokaina Scandal

EGUNERATUA 1/19/2015 beteta elkarrizketa bideoarekin:

By: Rich Bergeron

Mixed Martial Arts Jon Jones inguruko eztabaida eta ustekabeko proba hori trabatu zion kokaina eskandalu batean enthralled zaleentzat, “Elkarrizketa” ez da komedia bat James Franco eta Seth Rogen ditu protagonista.

Goiko Klipa besterik bat beteta Fox Sports mozkinak gutxi erakusten 1 eseri behera abenduaren 4an baten emaitzak inguruko saioan “lehiaketatik kanpo” Proba mundu osoko MMA zale gehienak gehiegi ezagutzen guztiak daude orain. Planeta desberdin bat ez zutenei berriak entzun For, proba agerian Jones kokaina metabolitoak izan zuen bere sistema.

Tonight, Jones da luze-espero-en agertzen “Jesus etorri” kameren aurrean une, baina Barbara Walters ordez galderak galdetuz, da Charissa Thompson. The Jones Interview is slated for an 11PM EST time slot, luze ondoren zion gora begiratzen duten haurrekin txiki guztiak ohera joan. Zer estali egingo buruzko xehetasun gehiago, begiratu Aurreikuspen honen jarri Fox arabera, aldez aurretik.

Ez da hartu oso luzea test positiboa txostenak surfaced ondoren Scarface txantxak alde , memes eta zirkulatzailearen hasteko parodia. Though the situation is far from funny to many folks who are truly disgusted by these developments, it’s really hard not to laugh at some of the stuff guztiak luzituta Twitterverse zehar about Jones. Making Okerrago daude txostenak UFC Argia Heavyweight txapelduna igaro bakarrik 24 rehab ordu, baina Twitter folks modu batzuk fun Poke garapen hartan eta baita berriro ere aurkitu:

Bat garapen zin egoera osoa ateratzen da UFC, azkenik zapaldu sortu eta Jones zigorra mugatu batzuk zergapetzen. Egun bat berandu dela dirudi, eta gutxi mila dolar laburrak arren, sustapena hit bere kartel mutil batekin $25,000 fina eta luzatutako honako adierazpena:

"Jones probatu kokaina positiboa egindako lehiaketaz droga test bat Nevadako Athletic Batzordearen zuzendaritzapean Dec on zehar. 4, 2014. The $25,000 beharreko substantzien abusua prebentzio programa bati emango zaio.

UFC erabaki hori etorri zitzaidan alea inguruko gertaera aztertu ondoren, eta berrespena jaso Nevada Athletic Batzorde hori Jones gainditu behar diren droga proba guztietan bere UFC at bout ondoren 182 Jan on. 3."

Ba UFC besterik gogoratzen jokabide-kode bat dute jarraitu guztiak ere beren atleta behar dute? Arrazoizko galdera bat da, baina gaietan zailtzen Izan ere, Nevada Athletic Batzordeak teknikoki beren mugetatik overstepped are Jones someter zerbait proba hori ez da benetan lehiaketa ingurumena out bat debekatu nahi da. The UFC’s legal bigwigs had to take a step back and figure out how to defend whatever punishment Jones would face in light of the test.

Jokabide urratzen kode bat ireki eta itxi Aditu gehienen kasuan bezala zirudien, baina zigorra oso garestia egiten litekeena emango luke Jones etorbide bat fina jokatzeko. Guztiak egin behar zuela deia arreta athletic batzorde bera proba aipatuz gisa “administrazio gainbegiratze.” Fina egitea dohaintza bat sartu modu handi bat lege erronka Jones saihesteko dirudienez.

Still, kontuan hartu gabe zein alboko gai honen of zara, istilurik osoan Osasungaitz favoritism UFC Jones aldera baliatutako smacks. Oso erraza da norbait UFC aurretiazko txarteletan borroka ohitu berehala bota erakundearen kanpo egoera berean harrapatu bada imajinatzea. Hala ere, Jones bat eskumuturrean slapped gutxieneko fina eta literalki eman laudorio altua gai aurre eginez txapelduna zuen bezala. He even gets to go on national television and explain why he “messed sortu.”

Kasu gehienetan UFC borrokalari positibo eman pot azken urteetan inplikatuz lehiaketa probak buruzko agertoki guztiz desberdinak inplikatzeko Nahiz, Dana White ez atera instantzia horiek edozeinetan zenbat beharrezko borrokalari hauen laguntza buruz hitz egiten. Ez zuen lerro sortu borrokalari horietako edozein elkarrizketak edozein sare nagusietako bat UFC emisio multi-milioi dolarrak akordio bat du.

Batzuk Jones zale argudiatu liteke hori zigorrak harsher gehienak dished marihuana erabiltzaileei ziren errepikatu delincuentes kasuak. Baimenduta, hau Jones lehen hauste bat da, orduan droga probak egiten. Hala ere, guk ere ezin zaio ez ikusi zuela, hain zuzen, bere Bentley bilduta telefono pole inguruan, Abokatuak bat irabazten, a isunak eta zigorrak mila dolar batzuk (Barne $7,000 pole ordezkatzeko) eta bat sei hilabeteko Gidabaimena bere May goizean ekintzen etetea 19, 2012. Ez zegoen zigor ofiziala UFC arabera Kraskadurari. Zen bere titulua defendatzen irailean, urte bereko onartzen zuen.

Zaila da, nahiz eta beste edozein kirol atleta onenak beren ugazaba tratamendu bera lortzean imajinatzea. Demagun Diego Maradona kasuan, arguably the best soccer player ever. Kirol batetik zuen eten zen 15 hilabete 1991 droga test bat izan ezean kokaina dela eta ondoren. Itzuli 2007, Martina Hingis metabolitoen bera Jones aurkitu probatu positiboa, baina bere mailak ziren benetan onargarria, Ameriketako Estatu Batuetako militar en droga emanaldia protokoloa mailaren azpitik. Nazioarteko Tenis Federazioak oraindik esekita bere bi urtez. Hauek dira, bi kirol non adierazi helburua ez da zure aurkari minik irabazi ahal izateko. MMA animalia ezberdin bat da, eta borrokalari entrenatzen daiteke askotan min.

Nahiz “lehiaketatik kanpo” ez du barne borroka ofiziala artista borroka mistoa da jakin baten lehiatuko ordainduko da, aldi bat da denean sparring handia gerta liteke. Nahiz gutxi kokaina argudiatzeko errendimendua hobetzeko droga bat da, ez dago arrazoi bat Esaldi da “hopped up kokaina onis so common. Jon Jones droga eragina pean zen, bada non sparring gertatu edozein prestakuntza saioetan, ezin izan zuen jarri dute berak eta / edo bere sparring partner arrisku larrian. Not to mention the damage a long-term cocaine habit can do to a person. Berretsi zuen arren ez zuen Addictos bat, duten droga-arazo larriak dituzten pertsonen leloa etengabe errepikatzen da.

Askotan, Jones bezalako postuetan jendea besterik ezin ospea eta artatzeko stardom dator kudeatu. Orduan kontuan numbing barietate legezko eta legez kanpoko substantziak piztu dute. Oso erraza da zergatik Jones da gai horiek izatea ulertzeko, baina, aldi berean da guztiek uko beharrezkoa gehiago eman zion bat, hala nola era erraz.

Are gehiago batez besteko Joe nork bukatzen drogak kasu baino orain, Jones bezalako norbait erraz ordaindu ahal ohitura benetan txarra izan, eta ezkutatu egin publiko orokorrari batetik arrazoi ditu. Hau menpekotasunaren ukitu bereizgarria esan nahi du–alone bitartean erabiliz–ezin Jones izango conceivably ezkutaturik denbora epe luzean.

Gutxieneko zigorra gora eskainiz, jarduneko ez bezala da arazo larri bat, eta berari erregistroa joan ahalbidetuz ofizialki ukatuko kokaina arazorik izan du oso bere berreskuratzeko kaltegarria izan daiteke. Hori bereziki egia bada zuen, hain zuzen ere arazo larri bat dagoela ametitzea saihesteko hain zaila zuen, dudarik gabe izan du.

Egoera honetan osotasunean zati txarrena, arren, Errebelazio bidalitako mezua da ez dagoela arau gogor no kokaina erabilera debekatzen lehiaketatik kanpo dago, gutxienez, orain arte Nevadako Athletic Batzordeari dagokionez. Borroka-artista mistoa edo boxeolariak asko zekien zalantza dut hori egin istilurik titular albiste honen aurretik. Orain egiten dute, eta hori oso arazo larria sor dezake.

Fighters askotan jatorri gogorrak datoz, eta horren ordez, portaera hori bakarrik kartzelara eramaten iraunarazteko, piztu borroka dute drogak eta krimena ihes. Gertakari honen argi nork ukatu izan liteke iraganean kokaina tartean berak orain lor daiteke kanpoan egiten kapritxoa bat lortzeko borrokalaria guztietan behar da, behin edo bitan, edo ez ari dira borrokan, betiere,. Nola borrokalari horietako askok eskubidea atzera salto egingo bizimodu zaharra dela sartzerakoan, amildegiaren ertzean dute?

Zenbat bizitza potentzialki suntsitu ahal izan, zenbat eredu izango doluzko jasan beharko, eta zenbat karrerak betirako derailed egingo delako borrokalari orain zalantza bat legez kanpoko droga egin ahal izango dute, mota guztietako betiere, ez da txiki horretan detektatu gabe jakin “lehiaketan” leiho? Inoiz ez dugu jakin, nabarmentzen da delako ezin dugu jakin. Ez dugu ustezko jakitea. Horrela, gaitz betirako ezkutatuta egonaldiak, hau da, non drogen erabilera eta abusua festers eta gehiago hazten rampant eta arriskutsua erabiltzailearen eta horiek zion edo inguruan bere.

Ala ez adierazten Jones Addictos bat da, edo ez ez du axola. Izan ere,, aukera txarra egin zituen hainbat eta hainbat borrokalari kokaleku berean jarri bada egin dezake. Sometimes it just takes one poor decision to start a downward spiral that only ends in tragedy. Tipo hau tratatzea ezberdinean kaiolan zuen lortu besterik ez delako eta bota behera bere Mailari onenekin hondamendia errezeta bat da.

Kirol-tik, sei hilabeteko etetea bada ere, zerbait gehiago UFC egin behar Mezu desberdinak eta are garrantzitsuagoa bidaltzeko. UFC behar du bere borrokalari hori ez da OK ezagutu, ez dira onartzen, eta ez litzateke errepikatuko edonork bere zerrendari buruzko. Enpresak ez du bere borrokalariak behar pentsatzen ospea eta status-maila handiagoa irabazteko kirol dituzten portaera troubling urruntzen dute esan nahi.

Ideia izan stardom edo prowess Athletic duten tratamendu berezi equates da urtero, zehazki zer ematen NFL buruko hainbeste eta ospetsu hainbeste jartzen hilobiak hasieran. Fighters ustezko goi mailako estandar bat ospatuko, eta mezu onenak bidali bat hobe da intoxicants guztiak eta troubling portaera ekiditeko borroka kirol arrakasta izan nahi baduzu, hori erakusten da. Istripuak eta akatsak pertsonen onena duten pertsonaia indartsuena izan gertatuko, baina molehills txiki-txiki horiek denean markatu gabe utzi mendikate bihur daiteke.

Benetan gustatuko litzateke UFC hozka bullet eta Munduko Dopinaren Aurkako Agentziak bezalako erakunde batean ekarri ausazko droga azterketa mota behin agindu dute beren zerrendari buruzko borrokalari guztiak bailuke dute egin ikusteko. Probak ilegalak kalean drogak ausazko probak eduki beharko luke PEDs gain. Enpresa letoia benetan gehiago zaintzen bada beren finantza beheko lerro baino borrokalari buruz, nola bere langileen askok ez dute arazo bat eta besterik behar jakin nahi lukete “laguntzeko.”
