ZHANG Zhilei – “HRGOVIĆ IS NO BOOGEYMAN”

Ostavite komentar

Undefeated heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (23-0-1, 18 KOs) is looking for big fights in 2022. Zhang, who is coming off of a second-round knockout of Craig Lewis, is world-ranked in both the IBF and WBO and wants to fight a top heavyweight so that he can earn a title shot.

The division is opening up after a flurry of recent activity at the end of 2021. With its mandatory contender position vacant, the International Boxing Federation is trying to set up a final eliminator. Contenders Luis Ortiz and Joseph Parker, both of whom are fresh off big wins, ducked their chance to fight #3 ranked Filip Hrgović (14-0, 12 KOs). Hrvatske. The IBF will continue to go down its rankings in order until one of the contenders agrees to fight Hrigović.

Zhang vows that if asked, he would take on the Croatian in a battle of 6’6’’ big men.

“I don’t understand why top heavyweights are turnin this down.” Said the former Olympic silver medal winner. “Hrgovic is no boogeyman. I’ve made it known that if my name comes up, I’ll step up and take it.”

And if a showdown with Hrigovic does not materialize, u 38 year-old Zhang is ready for any of the big names.

“I’m not getting any younger, and I have told my promoter that I want to make a big move," Said Zhang, listing off of top heavyweights such as Joseph Parker and Dereck Chisora – all of whom share the same promoter, Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom.

“My ultimate goal is to become world champion and I need fights that put me on that path. I will fight anyone. I want a big opportunity and all I am asking for is fair compensation. I am ready now.”

"Kad god sam izaći na Oakland za događaj, a ja sam sa Andre na funkciju na kojoj on govori za medije, To me da udari očigledno, on je poseban talent atletski, ali on je i posebna osoba i nadam se da su svi ovdje u Oakland razumije i cijeni da. On je principijelan porodičan čovjek koji uvijek pokušava učiniti pravu stvar, a to je nešto što je rijetkost u životu ovih dana, ali je posebno rijedak u sportu. Nadam se da mu zahvalan. Boks karijere ne traju zauvijek. On neće biti zauvijek borbi, tako da svako treba cijeniti ono što imate ovdje u Andre Ward.

 

"Andre zarobljeni zlatnu medalju na Olimpijskim igrama u Atini i zadnji U.S. boxer da su učinili. Njegova lista poraženih neprijatelja čita kao ko je ko u super srednjoj kategoriji. On je dominirao i nokautirao bivšeg poluteškoj kategoriji svjetski prvak, Chad Dawson u njihovim 2012 Showdown. U svojoj zadnjoj borbi, on je dominirao dva puta svjetska naslova Challenger Paul Smith Jun 20 Oracle Arena. On se upušta u narednom poglavlju u karijeri na Mart 26, ponovo vraća u Oracle Areni, kao što je čini njegov potez do svjetlo teškoj kategoriji spreman učiniti ono što je učinio u super srednjoj kategoriji ... to čistila i dominira svima koji stoji na putu. "

Mogao je da se zavali i čekao svoju titulu borbu, ali umjesto toga je vidjeli borbu protiv Andre Ward kao priliku da se zaista postigne za veličinu i on to uradio.

Nakon Shadowboxing u ringu i nekoliko metaka na probijanje vrećice, sva četiri borci učestvovali u razgovorima sa članovima medija prisutnih. Super Bowl prvak i Oakland native Marshawn Lynch, strastveni Andre Ward navijač, je poseban izgled tokom treninga u podršci Ward.

 

Ispod je ono što borci morali reći tokom završnog medija treninga:

 

ANDRE WARD, Dva puta svjetski prvak i funte-za-pound borac top-ocijenjeno::

"Osećam se dobro i spreman sam da idem. Na vrhuncu sam u pravo vreme. Ja sam samo uzbuđen da ga u subotunoć.

 

"Nekada sam voziti Oracle Areni 880 kao klinac na putu do kralja teretana i čudo ako bih mogao to napraviti tamo jednog dana i [trener] Virgil [Lovac] koristi za reći sa sigurnošću, 'Ti ćeš naslov tamo. "Kao što sam stariji, Sam da idem na neke od karata stavio na u areni. I dalje sam bio amater i ja bih samo sanjati. Sljedeća stvar koju znam, u 2009, Bio sam u sudoper ili plivati ​​borbu protiv Edison Miranda. Ako sam osvojio, bilo je vjerojatno dobra šansa da ću dobiti priliku za titulu, a ostalo je istorija. Evo nas opet, to je moj 7th vrijeme Oracle i to je uvijek blagoslov.

 

"To je pravo vrijeme da se presele u poluteškoj kategoriji. To je kombinacija nemaju pravo momci da se bori ili momci koji nije želio da me se borim. Želim biti super. Ove su vrste poteza morate napraviti. Ja sam student sporta i kada sam proučavam sport, to je ono što velikani su uvijek radili. Oni napredovati. Veliki oni pronaći način da se to uradi i ja želim da budem u tom razgovoru.

 

"Barrera je veliki tijelo. On je uvjeren. Izgleda da je dobar udarač. Nismo ga pokupi, jer on je mekan na dodir. izabrali smo ga jer je hteo da me spreman i pokaži mi šta je ovo težina klase je sve o. Ako pogledate moju karijeru, tu je mjesto za podešavanje-up koji nisam imao puno. Želiš da se bore najbolje i ako se ne bore najbolji, želite da se bori broj jedan kandidat. To je ono što mi radimo.

 

"Mislim da sam se razvija u efikasan borac. Selim kad moram da idem. Mislim da je ljepota svakog sportiste koji ne zloupotrebljava njegovo tijelo i zaista se svog zanata ozbiljno. Vidio sam neke članke tvrde da propustio premijera. To je ludo za mene. Osećam da sam kao dobar kao što sam ikada bio. Ja sam bio u boksu teretani bez mnogo pauze za prošlost 20 godina. Moj mozak mi se zahvalio za posljednje dvije godine. Moje tijelo mi se zahvalio. Moglo bi mi još dvije godine u mojoj karijeri.

 

"Moram samo biti ja. Tko sam je dovoljno. Ne moram da se pojavi za Kovalev u publici u subotunoć. Samo treba da sprovede plan igre. Mislim da će poslati poruku da treba da pošalju i ako se to ne desi, Onda će [Kovalev] dobiti poruku kada se borimo.

 

"Ako ne pobijediti ovu borbu, ne postoji ništa niz put. Ako ne pobijediti ovu borbu, Ja ne zaslužuju da se bori za titulu. To je realnost moju situaciju.

 

"Barrera nikada nije borio Muškarac poput mene prije, tako da mogu govoriti dobra igra. Oni mogu dominirati naslove koji su doveli do borbe. Oni mogu reći sve glatke stvari žele reći. Mi samo želimo da dominira naslovima Nedjelja jutro nakon borbe je gotova. To je ono što sam fokusiran na ".

 

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Broj jedan ocijenio IBF poluteškoj kandidat:

"Ja sam jači od Ward. Imam kubanski pozadinu i puno vještina sam naučio tamo. Više od svega, odlučnost da se prevaziđu ništa ispred mene će mi pomoći da pobjedi Ward na Mart 26.

 

"Kada sam u ringu, to je moja kuća.

 

"Šta god Ward ima, Ja ću prilagoditi ga i prevazići.

 

"Imam dvije ruke. On ima dvije ruke. Imam posla na Mart 26.

 

"Znam Ward i Kovalev su vrlo visoko poštuju i oni stvaraju mnogo novca i mnogo interesa, ali oni ne znaju šta Sullivan Barrera je u stanju da uradi. Ja ću dokazati da u subotu.

 

"Nisam baš Muškarac koji ima tražiti nokaut. Moja boks vještine govore sami za sebe. Ja se borim Andre Ward i bori ovdje u Oakland, tako da ne mislim da je odluka će biti donesena u moju korist.

 

"Za sve ljubitelje, posebno kubanski navijači koji su podržali mene znajte da dolazi Subota, Ja ću učiniti sve što treba da uradim da izađe kao pobednik. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF Featherweight Champion:

"Ne mogu očekivati ​​šta Jayson uradio Ronny Rios tokom ove borbe. Moram da idem tamo, testirati ga i prilagoditi kada sam u ringu.

 

"Ako se ukaže prilika u kojoj je povređen i vidim da mi udarci su mu preplavljuju, onda naravno da ću se tamo, biti agresivni i pobrinite uzimam ga što je prije moguće.

 

"Znam sve unutra, odsekavši prsten i uzimajući ga u tijelo odmah će ga srušiti. To će da ga ne kreću koliko i kasnije u rundama mogu sletjeti začarani udaraca u glavu. Ja ću da ga u tijelu odmah.

 

"Psihički sam 100% spreman. Ovo je veliki korak u mojoj karijeri, pa sam mentalno fokusiran. Ja sam dobro pripremljen. Osjećam se kao da je ovo trenutak sam čekao cijeli svoj čitav život. Osjećam se kao da sam spreman za to i ne mogu čekati Mart 26. Trenirao sam jako teško za ovu borbu i da sam dobro pripremljeni za to.

 

"Zaista želim da dam izjavu ovu borbu. Želim pokazati svijetu da Joseph Diaz mogao biti sljedeći velika stvar u boksu, tako da sam trenirao jako teško staviti na veliku borbu za fanove borbu, biti vrlo agresivan i da ga je rat tamo. Nadam se da Jayson Velez je 110% spreman jer želim da bude na njegov najbolji.

 

"Ako sam pobijediti ovu borbu i da se izjasni, Mislim da mogu preći na status kandidat i nadamo se dobiti titulu pucao do kraja ove godine. Želim da ove godine boriti teška protivnika jer želim pokazati svijetu ko sam.

 

"Osjećam se kao zvijer kad sam korak u ring i ja da ga vidim u sparing. Kad god sam landing efikasan udaraca, Ja mogu reći da sam boli moj protivnik. "

Jayson VELEZ, Najbolje ocijenjeno: pero kandidat:

"Na moj nivo, svaki tip je glavni kandidat. Moram da treniram jače i poboljšati moju odbranu. Radio sam na tome.

 

"Ako vidite moje posljednje tri ili četiri borbe, vidjet ćete da sam bio dominiraju u prvih nekoliko kola, a onda sam ostao bez plina, Ja sam radio na mom izdržljivost, tako da se neće dogoditi na Mart 26.

 

"Vidio sam Diaz tuče. Mi smo se nadmeću nekoliko puta. Ima brzinu. Ima gladi. To je njegova HBO debi, tako da je definitivno motivisan, ali tako sam. To će biti velika borba.

 

"Želim biti prvak riječi. Znam da to želi previše. U subotu, ćemo znati ko želi više. Oboje želimo osvojiti i oboje smo obuku za pobjedu. Borba između snaga i brzina je odličan meč-up. Da ne spominjem da je meksički i ja sam Portorikanac. Možete očekivati ​​veliku borbu i to ne onaj koji želite da propustite. "
