Hery
Wilder:
* Hery - Ny fipoahana amin'ny faran'ny totohondry Wilder, voalohany indrindra dia ny tanana ankavanana, dia ampahany amin'ny nokleary. Raha ny tanany havia kosa mitondra pop be ao, dia ny tànana ankavanan'ny Wilder izay hita fa mety ho totohondry nandrava indrindra tamin'ny ady totohondry androany. Afaka mamarana ny ady izy amin'ny alàlan'ny fametrahana ny tànany ankavanana mahitsy eo afovoany, manindrona azy eo amboniny, na ny fizarana ny mpiambina ho toy ny sisin-dalana ambony.
* Conditioning - Tany am-piandohan'ny asany, rehefa namarana ny adiny rehetra tao anatin'ny fihodinana vitsivitsy izy, misy ny marika fanontaniany raha toa ka manjavona i Wilder amin'ny fihodinana manaraka. Noporofoiny fa afaka mitolona mafy toy izany koa izy amin'ny faramparan'ny fihodinana ary afaka mandondona mandra-pahatongan'ny lakolosy famaranana.
* Athleticism - Wilder dia manambatra ny habe tsy dia fahita firy, hafainganam-pandeha, fahefana, ary ny fahaizan'ny atletisma izay mora eritreretina hoe manjakazaka amin'ny karazana sehatry ny atletisma izy.
Fahatezerana:
* Hetsika - Ho an'ny lehilahy manana ny habeny sy ny vatany mitovy amin'ny volafotsy, Ny fahatezerana dia mihetsika amin'ny fahasoavana sy fahaizan'ny mpandihy baleta iray. Izy dia maivana amin'ny tongony ary manana fihetsiketsehana ambony izy izay tsy dia mahazatra loatra ho an'ny olona lehibe toy izany.
* Fahatokisana - Matoky tena tanteraka ny fahatezerana ary mino ny fahaizany. Izy dia mampiseho kely na tsy misy tahotra eo amin'ny peratra. Ny toetrany karismatika natoky tena dia manome azy tombony ara-tsaina.
* Maharesy - Na miakatra amin'ny canvas manohitra an'i Wilder izany, mandresy ny fanapahana mahatsiravina atao amin'i Wallin, na miady amin'ny famoizam-po sy ny fidorohana zava-mahadomelina, Ny fahatezerana dia naneho hafanana sy faharetana tokony hoderaina.
Fahalemena
Wilder:
* Sloppy - Wilder dia mampiseho finoana matanjaka be amin'ny heriny ka matetika dia masiaka sy misolelaka amin'ny totohondry sy ny tongony. Matetika izy dia mijery amizista amin'ny peratra.
* Olana amin'ny boxers - Ireo mpiady izay mampiasa hetsika tsara sy fahaiza-manao ady totohondry Wilder. Sahirana izy mametraka ny tongony ary matetika izy no mihemotra. Nandeha an-dàlana tamin'i Luis Ortiz tamin'ny ady roa izy ary niavaka tamin'ny ankamaroan'ny ady voalohany nataony tamin'i Fury.
* Chin - Ireo fotoana vitsivitsy nanaraha-maso mafy ny saoka an'i Wilder, naneho lesoka izy tamin'ny faharetany. Ortiz dia nandratra azy mafy ary teo akaikin'ny fahaverezan'ny fihodinana.
Fahatezerana:
* Fanelingelenana - Fury dia tia ny lazany vaovao hita sy ny firesahana WWE sy MMA. Nisaraka tamin'ny mpanazatra azy Ben Davidson izy ary miantso ny fitifirany. Fury koa dia manana ody ao amin'ny peratra izay tsy ahitany fifantohana ary hitany teo amin'ny lamba mihoatrana mihoatra ny indray mandeha izy nandritra ny fotoana tsy nifantoka.
* Fiainana manokana - Izy io dia voarakitra tsara ny demonia manokana an'ny Fury miaraka amin'ny fahaketrahana sy ny fidorohana zava-mahadomelina, miaraka amin'ny lanja mavesatra mihoatra 400 lbs. Na dia mendri-piderana aza ny fandreseny noho ireo demonia ireo, ny vokany maharitra ara-batana dia tsy azo lavina.
* Hoditra– Dimy volana monja taorian'i Fury no nibontsina ny masony havanana nanohitra an'i Otto Wallin, mitaky 47 zaitra. Raha ny dokotera kosa dia nihevitra fa ny sitrana dia sitrana, ny hodiny malefaka dia afaka misokatra indray amin'ny fotoana tsy mety indrindra.

Who will be the true king of heavyweights? Wilder and Fury will decide in 2020
Despite rumors surrounding it for years, professional boxing is still alive, and it’s still far in front of MMA judged by public interest and the prize money. One of the reasons for that are heavyweights, especially Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury and a bit less Anthony Joshua who just avenged the only loss of his career. Na izany aza, there is no doubt that Wilder and Fury are the cream of the crop, and their fight in 2020 will decide who is the king of the most popular division.
We won’t have to wait much for the dream match, as the contract is signed for February 22nd, as the fight will take in Las Vegas, probably in MGM grand where Fury made his impressive American debut, destroying Tom Schwartz in June 2019. Wilder also loves the place, since he became a champion there, defeating Bermane Stiverne and he recently defended the title against Ortiz. But what makes their second bout as exciting as RPG Sex Games, is that no one is a clear favorite.
The thing is Wilder and Fury are extremely different fighters. Fury is in the best shape of his career recently, and when it comes to boxing skills, he is far ahead of Wilder. As demonstrated by their first meeting, Fury is not a one-trick pony as he knows how to change pace and attack his opponent with both hands and in different ways. He can punch, but he is far from being impatient. He is the reason why no one believes that his match against the American will end early. Even on his bad day, Fury can withstand almost anything and knows how to overturn the match. As for the Wilder, he is a whole different story. He started boxing very late, and during his career, he was doubted even by experts that claimed he is a contender at best. There is no doubt about it – Wilder is the one with the ultimate power. Give him a chance to land a solid punch, and that is probably it for the night. That alone is what made him come out of the match with Fury undefeated, rocking him twice. Fa, Fury is the first opponent that was able to get up after such devastating shots, even though that took away his victory.
It’s hard to predict the winner as it’s much easier to make a list of excellent Android Sex Games. What we can predict is that this fight will highly unlikely be finished in early rounds, as it is highly unlikely that Wilder will win if he doesn’t drop Fury a few times. Judged by that, Fury looks like an early favorite in this one, but when you have a strong puncher like Wilder, it’s almost impossible not to let him land a single devastating punch in all 12 fihodinana. If you are neutral and want to see a good fight, this is the one you don’t want to miss!

DEONTAY WILDER AND TYSON FURY FIGHT TO SPLIT-DECISION DRAW IN EPIC BATTLE ON SHOWTIME PPV® FROM STAPLES CENTER IN LOS ANGELES
|
|
Los Angeles (Dec. 1, 2018) – Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury fought to a split-decision draw on SHOWTIME PPV® on Saturday night from STAPLES Center in arguably one of the best heavyweight fights in years.
After controlling the WBC World Championship fight early, Fahatezerana (27-0-1, 19 Kos) miraculously overcame two knockdowns by Wilder (40-0-1, 39 Kos) – including one in round 12 – in the improbable draw. Ny mpitsara baolina ny bout 115-111 for Wilder, 114-112 for Fury and 113-113.
“I think with the two knockdowns I definitely won the fight,” said Wilder, who has recorded a knockdown in each of his 41 pro fights and was defending his WBC belt for the eighth time since 2015. “We poured our hearts out tonight. We’re both warriors, but with those two drops I think I won the fight.”
Fury saw it differently, stating that he gave it everything he had.
“We’re on away soil, I got knocked down twice, but I still believe I won that fight,” said England’s Fury, whose amazing comeback continues following a two and a half-year absence from the sport from drug and alcohol addiction and mental health issues. “I hope I did you all proud after nearly three years out of the ring. I was never going to be knocked down tonight. I showed good heart to get up. I came here tonight and I fought my heart out.”
It was an electrifying night with an attendance announced at 17,698 mpankafy, which included Hollywood stars and fight fans like former Lakers greats Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry West, former NFL stars Michael Strahan and Michael Irvin, and boxing legends Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather.
Fahatezerana, who out-landed Wilder 84-71 ankapobeny, was caught by a short right hand by Wilder just behind the left ear to drop Fury for the third time in his career in the ninth round. Then in the 12th, a Wilder right hand and left hook combination sent the 6-foot-9 Fury down again, hitting his head on the canvas. Indray, he managed to stand up and referee Jack Reiss let him continue to fight.
“Boxing is always the theater of the unexpected, and that’s what we had tonight,” SHOWTIME expert analyst Al Bernstein said.
Bernstein said seeing Fury get up and continue to fight after the brutal knockdown was “one of the most astonishing things I’ve ever seen in the boxing ring.”
SHOWTIME boxing historian and commentator Steve Farhood had Fury controlling the early rounds and Fury winning rounds 3-8, and ultimately scored the fight, 115-111.
Because of a rematch clause, both fighters were asked if they would like to do it again. “I would love for it to be my next fight,” Wilder said. “Why not? Let’s give the fans what they want to see. It was a great fight and let’s do it again. It doesn’t matter to me where we do it.”
“One hundred percent we’ll do the rematch,” said Fury, fighting in the first heavyweight title pay-per-view bout in America since 2002. “We are two great champions. Me and this man are the two best heavyweights on the planet.”
Wilder said he came out slow and rushed his punches. “I didn’t sit still. I was too hesitant. I started overthrowing the right hand and I just couldn’t adjust.”
Fahatezerana, fighting for the third time this year with 26-year-old trainer Ben Davison in his corner, also had former boxing great Ricky Hatton and seven-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach in his corner.
In the lead-up fight to Wilder-Fury, “Swift” Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 Kos) defended his 154-pound IBF and WBA world title belts with a fourth-round knockout against United Kingdom’s James Welborn (24-7, 7 Kos), who was fighting for the first time on American soil.
Welborn was the aggressor in the first minute of the fourth round, sending Hurd to the ropes with punch after punch to the body and head. Suddenly realizing he might be in trouble, Hurd of Accokeek, Md., countered back from sudden adversity in dramatic fashion and sent Welborn back-tracking before a devastating body punch sent him to one knee. He was counted out at 1:55 by referee Lou Moret, who was officiating the final fight of his 30-plus year career.
Taorian'ny ady, undefeated super welterweight Jermell Charlo entered the ring to challenge for Hurd’s coveted belts. “We definitely want Charlo,” Hurd told SHOWTIME Sports’ Jim Gray, saying the matchup would likely occur after one more fight. “I’m calling the shots. I’m No. 1 right now. When I say answer the phone, answer the phone. I got the date.”
Charlo shot back. “This is easy money. I like those belts – they look real good on you. He said he wants another fight. I’m ready now.”
Hurd, who unified the WBA and IBF belts by beating WBA champion Erislandy Lara in April in Las Vegas, was returning with a surgically repair left shoulder. He threw 118 jabs, more than half of the 220 punches he threw in the fight.
“I’m just coming off surgery so I wanted to see how I worked off the jab,” Hurd said. “I felt good I was working behind the jab I got caught on the ropes and got caught with some shots and said ‘that’s enough. He got enough TV time.’ I heard the crowd and I didn’t want to get brave. So I turned it up and got the knockdown.”
Former Wilder foe and heavyweight southpaw Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (30-1, 26 Kos) returned to STAPLES Center for a second consecutive victory with a resounding 10th-round TKO against Travis “My Time” Kauffman (32-3, 23 Kos) ny Reading, Pa.
The 39-year-old Ortiz of Camaguey, Kiobà, registered left-cross knockdowns in the sixth, eighth and 10th rounds before the final blow coming later in the 10th round against a gritty Kauffman. It was the 26th career stoppage for Ortiz, who lost to Wilder in a Fight of the Year candidate back in March.
The fight was officially called at 1:58 of the 10th round. "Aho mpiady,” Ortiz said. “Nothing contains me. We didn’t have to knock him out but we wanted to show everything we have in our repertoire, and we showed it tonight.”
Ortiz, who was warned twice for low blows, clipped Kauffman for a second time by a lethal left hand of Ortiz at 2:29 ao amin'ny fahavalo fihodinana. But just like the first time he was send to canvas in the sixth round, Kauffman was able to get up and continue fighting.
The technically sound performance by Ortiz included 376 jab attempts to Kauffman’s 99 and out-landing him 66-7. That led to a 135-37 lead in total connects and a 69-30 margin in power connects against Kauffman, who SHOWTIME commentator Paulie Malignaggi called, “a stubborn guy who wouldn’t go away.”
“Of course I’ll fight the winner of this fight [Wilder-Fury],” Ortiz said. “I want that second fight with Wilder. I want to fight anybody.”
In the pay-per-view telecast opener, Joe “The Juggernaut” Joyce (7-0, 7 Kos) recorded a massive first-round knockout against Joe “The Future” Hanks (23-3, 15 Kos). A rising heavyweight, Joyce, avy any London, Angletera, ended the fight officially after just 2:25 as he used a right jab to set up a near-perfect left hook sending Hanks to the canvas and down for the count.
Trained by noted trainer Abel Sanchez, Joyce told Gray he’s ready for anyone. “I want to get in some bigger fights,” said the former Olympic silver medal winner who recorded his fourth first-round KO. “I’ve been doing well so there is plenty more to come. All the support from back home in England, thanks for coming. I hope I put on something good to watch.”
It was the second win in the United States for Joyce, who also picked up the vacant WBA Continental heavyweight title. “I’m getting people out quickly,"Hoy izy. “I’ve got a lot of experience, I’m just going to improve on my strength and my speed. I’ve heard comments that I’m slow but I seem to land the shots and get the job done.”
It was the third time during his career that Hanks, from Newark, N.J., has been knocked down by a left hook.
