How is training going?

Training is going fantastic! I am in Miami at Caicedo Sports Training Camp, working with Herman Caicedo. Herman is relentless. As soon as he picked me up, traveling from Argentina to Miami. He took me straight to the track and ran drills for an hour.

 

Talk to me about the opportunity to fight for world championship?

Tai svajonė išsipildė. My whole pro career it has been my dream. I found out I was fighting for the championship immediately after my last fight. Mano rengėjas, Sampson LEWKOWICZ, informed me of the opportunity and told me I would be training in Miami with Herman.

 

You haven’t left your home country to fight much, are you going to be your usual self fighting basically in his hometown in the US?

Ar ne, I haven’t been out much and it’s an honor to be fighting in the USA. I don’t know any other way than to be myself in a fight. Herman is improving on my skills and adding some details to it. Herman and I have gelled immediately. I am sure, due to his experience with champions, that he knows how to adapt to individuals. Fighting in his hometown is on him. I have zero pressure and can only gain fans fighting there.

 

Why will you win this fight?

I will win this fight because I am hungry to be a champion. I’m hungry to be where he is at and hungry to better my family.

 

Describe yourself as a fighter for American fans who haven’t seen you yet.

I am a boxer puncher who can adapt to what is in front of me. Are you doing anything different in training for this fight? Answer: taip, the major difference is training with Herman Caicedo in Miami. He has had great success with lots of fighters and one of the few coaches to develop a fighter into a champion from pro debuts. He is a teacher. I look forward to much success with him.

Unified Welterweight Champion Keith Thurman Relinquishes WBC title Due to Injury Rehabilitation

Will Remain WBA Champion and Fight for

WBC Crown Once He Has Fully Recovered

CLEARWATER, FLORIDA (Balandis 24, 2018) Unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman has voluntarily relinquished his WBC title while he recovers from the effects of elbow surgery last year and a hand injury he suffered in training camp last month.

 

 

 

After speaking with WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman recently, Thurman decided that he would relinquish the title and open the way for former champions Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter, the two leading contenders for the WBC title, to fight each other for the championship while Thurman made a full recovery from his injuries.

 

 

 

Due to my rehabilitation from my injuries, I agreed to relinquish my WBC title at this time. I continue to rehab my hand and elbow and I look forward to getting back in the ring this summer. This is a temporary setback and I will be the unified champion once again and look forward to winning back my WBC title as soon as possible,” Sakė Thurman.

 

 

 

Keith Thurman unfortunately has suffered two consecutive injuries that have kept him out of the ring after his sensational victory over Danny Garcia and he has graciously relinquished his title, and the WBC has mandated that Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter will fight for the title,” said Mauricio Sulaiman. “Keith will have a direct path to fight for the title once he has healed just as Vitali Klitshcko and other WBC champions have done in the past. Keith is a tremendous athlete, champion and role model. The WBC will support him completely during this difficult time. ”

 

 

 

Garcia (34-1, 20 Kos), a former unified champion at 140 pounds and the former WBC welterweight champion, lost the WBC title to Thurman by 12-round split decision in 2017. He bounced back with a knockout victory over former champion Brandon Rios in February. The WBC had made that fight a title elimination match, which put Garcia in line to fight Thurman again for the title.

 

 

 

Dėvėti (28-2-1, 17 Kos), a former welterweight champion, lost a close 12-round decision to Thurman in 2016. He became the mandatory challenger for the WBC title when he knocked out Andre Berto last year. He maintained his status with a 12-round decision over Adrian Granados in November.

 

 

 

The 29-year-old Thurman (28-0, 22 Kos) has been plagued by a string of injuries the last two years.

 

 

 

Thurman injured his neck in a car accident in February 2016, which delayed his match against Porter by three months. When they met Thurman defeated Porter by unanimous decision on June 25.

 

 

 

He defeated Garcia by split decision in a welterweight unification match on March 4, 2017. A month later he had major surgery on his right elbow to remove bone spurs and calcium deposits. He is still in rehabilitation from that surgery.

 

 

 

Thurman injured his hand hitting the heavy bag last month and aggravated the injury sparring with some amateurs at his gym in St. Peterburgas, Floridos. An MRI revealed bruises to the metacarpal bones in the hand, which also has extensive swelling. Thurman can’t have any impact with the hand for at least 8 savaičių, which added another delay to his ring return.

 

 

 

He now hopes to return to the ring in the late summer or early fall.

„Stoppage Win Over Martinez“ išvedė Khaną į kursą dar vienam šūviui

 

Ataskaita: Gianluca Di Caro – Joe Ibbotsono nuotraukos.

 

Galbūt tai iki šiol buvo šalčiausias metų savaitgalis JK, bet ledinis šaltis šeštadienį naktis nesutrukdė sirgaliams palaikyti vietos herojų Tasifą Khaną, kai jis Bridie Murtagh rungtyniavo su Meksikos čempionu ir buvusiu WBC pasaulio čempionu Juanu Lopezu Martinezu. („Saorise“ akcijos) reklamuojamas vakarienės renginys Karališkajame Tadž (buvę „Connaught Rooms“.) Bradforde.

 

Kovos svarbos akivaizdžiai neprarado nė vienas Khano gerbėjas, jų vyras jau galėjo užsitikrinti Pasaulio bokso sąjungą (WBU), Pasaulinė bokso sąjunga (GBU) ir Pasaulio bokso konfederacija (WBC) Pasaulio čempionatai per pastaruosius porą metų, bet pergalė šeštadienį reikštų, kad Chanas, kurį jau aukštai įvertino Tarptautinė bokso federacija (IBF) savo tarpžemyniniuose reitinguose, būtų tinkamas mesti iššūkį prestižiniame IBF tarpkontinentiniame čempionate vasarą, kaip pirmą žingsnį siekiant galimo ateities iššūkio trokštamai IBF Pasaulio karūnai..

 

Prieš pirmąją nakties kovą, Ceremonijų meistras Samas Gormanas skaitė jaudinančią panegiriką britams & Airijos bokso tarnyba (BIBA) Viceprezidentas (Škotija) Kenny Barr, kuris tragiškai mirė gruodį būdamas vos metų 34, po kurios sekė Dešimties varpo duoklė.

 

Gerai, pereikime prie pagrindinio įvykio, dešimties raundų ne čempionato „Super Flyweight“ varžybos tarp jau minėto Tasifo Khano ir Juano Lopezo Martinezo.

 

Atmosfera buvo elektra, kai pagrindiniai veikėjai keliaudavo į ringą kartu su palyda, mojuodami savo šalių vėliavomis, o Khano atveju taip pat nešini daugybe čempiono diržų.. Po prieškovinio razzmatazz ir prisistatymų jaunieji Gladiatoriai turėjo reikalą.

 

Nuo pat varpo pradžios abu vyrai pradėjo atsargiai varžytis dėl centro žiedo, Khanas panaudoja savo aukštesnį pasiekiamumą, kad perimtų efektyvų kontrolę ir priverstų labiau patyrusį varžovą atsistoti ant užpakalinės pėdos.

 

Apie raundo vidurio tašką Khanas pradėjo didinti tempą, pataikyti keletą didelių smūgių į kūną ir galvą, kiekvieną kartą, kai Martinezas atsistojo ir gerai atkirto.

 

Antrajame buvo daugmaž tas pats, Khanui ėmus iniciatyvą ir aktyviai puolant, o Martinezas liko patenkintas atkirti, kai pasitaikė galimybė.

 

Trečiasis turas pamatys, kad Khanas dar labiau padidins tempą, išnaudodami puikų rankos greitį ir aptakų judesį, kad padarytumėte sensacingus kadrus, labiausiai pastebima buvo didžiulė teisė į smakrą raundo pabaigoje. Martinezas buvo aiškiai sukrėstas, bet vis tiek mąsto pakankamai aiškiai, kad pakeistų taktiką ir surištų Bradfordo vyrą viduje, kad būtų išvengta tolesnių didelių šūvių..

 

Iš pradžių Martinezas kovojo su Khanu ketvirtoje vietoje, tai darydamas sensacingas kabliukas ant Chano galvos. Tačiau ši taktika tiesiog pateko į Khano rankas ir Bradfordo vyras grįždavo su kai kuriomis sensacingomis kombinacijomis kiekvieną kartą, kai meksikietis atakavo..

 

Raundui įsibėgėjus į antrą minutę, Khanas sugavo Martinezą dar vienu dideliu šūviu, kuris nusiuntė meksikietį atgal link lynų, Khanas įžengė į vidų ir leido suplėšyti dvirankiu smūgiu, kuris baigėsi dideliu kairiuoju kabliu prie kūno, kuri pasiuntė Martinezą prie drobės. Martinezas suskaičiavo ir pateko į raundo pabaigą vėl surišdamas Khaną viduje.

 

Penktas turas mato, kaip Martinezas labiau naudojasi Khano susiejimo taktikos viduje, o kartais atrodydavo pralenkiamas. Khano pranašesnis žiedinis amatas iš tikrųjų pasirodė, kai raundas įžengė į paskutinę minutę, savimi pasitikinčios asmenybės, kurią Martinezas nešiojosi pirmaisiais raundais, dabar nebėra, Martinezas pradėjo bandyti sulėtinti žaižaruojantį Khano žingsnį iki šliaužio, nuolat sugriebdamas kiekvieną kartą, kai Chanas surengdavo puolimą, prieš kiekvieną progą leisdami plėšytis su viršutiniais pjūviais, labai apgailestavo Chano kampelis, kurie šaukė ant savo vyro, kad atimtų smūgį ir laikytų jį per atstumą.

 

Šeštas turas pamatys, kad Khanas užtikrintai pradeda slegti Martinezą, sparčiai judėdamas dviem rankomis ir galingais kūno ir galvos deriniais.. Maždaug įpusėjus raundui Khanas atsilaisvino nuo kito Martinezo bandymo sulaikyti sesiją ir paleido keletą stiprių dūrių., prieš įžengdamas didžiuliu kabliu prie kūno. Martinezas iškart griuvo prie drobės ir buvo aiškiai sutrikęs, tačiau kietasis meksikietis iš visų jėgų stengėsi atsistoti, kol teisėjo Jameso Ancliffo skaičiavimas padarė išvadą, nors ir nesėkmingai tai padaryti.

 

Oficialus sustabdymo laikas 1 minutę ir 32 šeštojo turo sekundės.

 

Prieš pagrindinę Khano ir Martinezo kovą tarp Bardley vyko šešių raundų „Super Middleweight“ varžybos, Linkolnšyro nepralaimėjęs Nathanas Decastro ir labai vėlyvas pakaitalas Malcolmas Richardsonas iš Blackpool.

 

Iš pradžių IBF reitinguotas Decastro turėjo varžytis su ganiečiu Philipu Kotey, kuris buvo atvykęs į JK, bet susirgo penktadienį naktis. Didesnis Decastro nusivylimas, nes pergalė prieš Kotey taip pat būtų suteikusi jam galimybę vėliau šiais metais siekti IBF čempiono titulo..

 

Iš karto buvo aišku, kad Decastro ketino padaryti pareiškimą, Bardley vyras uždaro žiedą ir leidžiasi plėšti smūgiu po jėgos smūgio. Ričardsonas buvo pagamintas iš griežtų daiktų, atsilaikė ir gerai atlaikė. Tačiau raundui įsibėgėjus antrosios minutės link, Decastro perėjo prie kūno, nusileido didžiuliu kūno šūviu, kuris numušė Richardsoną.

 

Richardsonas suskaičiavo, Tiesą sakant, po nokdauno nuėjo į priekinę koja ir pataikė keletą gerų savo smūgių, tačiau negailestingi Decastro jėgos smūgiai įveikė Blekpulio vyrą ir su maždaug 40 likus raundo sekundėms Decastro sugavo jį didžiuliu šūviu į kūną ir antrą kartą nusiuntė į drobę, šį kartą Richardsonas neatsistojo, kol teisėjas Jamesas Ancliffas padarė išvadą.

 

Oficialus sustabdymo laikas buvo 2 Minutės ir 30 sekundžių pirmojo turo.

 

Prieš Decastro-Richardson atėjo laikas sunkiasvorių varžyboms tarp Askam-in-Furness, Kambrijos Lee Kellett ir Belfastas, Šiaurės Airijos atstovas Ryanas Kilpatrickas.

 

Kokia sprogo kova, abu vaikinai ten atidavė visus keturis raundus, labai dėkingi susirinkusiems.

 

Po keturių labai linksmų visų veiksmo raundų įvarčius pelnęs teisėjas Jamesas Ancliffas nusprendė, kad nugalėtoju tapo Lee Kellettas. 40-36 taškų marža.

 

Kitas buvo keturių raundų itin lengvo svorio varžybos tarp Niukaslo Jako Johnsono ir Liverpulio Paulo Peerso..

 

Kas kova, tai buvo tikras Battle Royale, šie du kariai nedavė nė ketvirčio, ir tai buvo rimtai aukščiausios klasės mūšis. Pirmus porą raundų žiūrėti buvo varginantis, grynas pirštų 2 pirštų veiksmas nuo pradžios iki pabaigos, tiek, kad šis konkursas pelnytai pelnė Nakties kovos apdovanojimą.

 

Tačiau trečiasis mato „Peers“ pranašumą, Liverpulio žmogus padidino tempą ir su dideliu efektu perjungia dėmesį į Geordie kūną, tiek, kad maždaug viduryje Peersas nusiuntė Johnsoną prie drobės smeigtuku puikiai smūgiu į apatinį šonkaulį..

 

Johnsonas atsistojo, bet mirštančiomis raundo sekundėmis Peersas rado būdą, kaip puikia Johnsono gynyba pataikė dar vieną smūgį į apatinį šonkaulį ir antrą kartą numušė Johnsoną., šį kartą Johnsonas negalėjo atsistoti ir įveikti teisėjo Jameso Ancliffo skaičiavimo.

 

Oficialus sustabdymo laikas buvo 2 minučių ir 59 trečiojo turo sekundės.

 

Nakties pradžioje Nathanas Beattie iš Aberdyno kovoja su velioniu pakeitusiu Belfasto Marty Kayesu..

 

Beattie-Kayes buvo puristo svajonių kova, tai buvo vienas rimtai įtemptas ir labai techniškas konkursas, kas nenustebintų žinančiųjų, nes jiedu anksčiau kovojo tarpusavyje.

 

Po keturių įtemptų raundų buvo perskaityta teisėjo Jameso Ancliffo taškų kortelė 40-37 Nathano Beattie naudai.

 

Kortoje turėjo būti dar du konkursai – Obadai Sai prieš Isaacą Quartey ir Patricką Okiną prieš Saidi Mundi, tačiau šie konkursai neįvyko, nes tik Quartey ir Okine gavo vizą, kad galėtų vykti į JK.
