Title on the Line for McGivern Vs Iran II on 22nd June
Sometimes there are fights that just capture the Boxing World’s attention, Gatti-Ward, Ali-Frazier, Froch-Kessler, Holyfield-Bowe, Marquéz-Vazquéz etc that afterwards the fans go out of their way demanding a rematch and in some cases a trilogy or more as in the case of Marquéz-Vazquéz!
In each of the cases mentioned above these were prime time internationally broadcast events, however sometimes there’s a fight that slips under the radar of the majority of fans for one reason or another.
One such fight was the Ben McGivern versus Navid Iran ‘Fight of the Year’ nominated Battle Royale back in November last year, which was broadcast live only on Facebook.
Whilst it did pass under the radar of the majority of fans worldwide, it may surprise many readers to learn that after the first fight, so many boxing fans were lighting up Social Media calling for McGivern-Iran II, that Promoter Tommy Jacobs just couldn’t ignore them and so on the 22nd June at the Prince’s Theatre in Clacton-on-Sea these two warriors will enter the arena to battle it out once more, this time for the World Boxing Union (WBU) International Crown.
Back in November McGivern-Iran, battled it out for the vacant Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Silver International Light Heavyweight title was the headline bout on Tommy Jacobs’ history making event, the first professional boxing event in Clacton-on-Sea since 1939, when Mike Kevan beat Charlie Mack.
Battled it out is the correct term; sa a te yon Battle Royale nan pwopòsyon sezon.
Dwa soti nan koupe Iran te pran batay la McGivern, fè bak Scot la sou kòd yo epi kite dechire ak yon rafal gwo bò gòch ak dwa. McGivern te kouvri ak anpil atansyon epi tann yon opòtinite pou kontrekare, sa li te fè ak bon efè yon fwa opòtinite a leve.
Sepandan, li pa t ase pou anpeche Iran tounen ak yon atak fòs menm jan an prèske imedyatman. McGivern yon lòt fwa ankò jere kontrekare ak okòmansman pran kontwòl.
Kòm wonn nan pwogrese Iran te ateri yon koup nan vaksen fann ki ankò fòse McGivern kouvri moute. Iran kept up the pressure with big shots, whilst McGivern caught many with his gloves some big rights got through the Scots guard, souke l 'nan nwayo a.
How McGivern made it to the end of the round is unfathomable, janm li yo te byen ak vrèman ale, men yon jan kanmenm li te fè.
Wonn de wè Iran soti difisil ak vit, sepandan McGivern te pare pou atak la, ankò okòmansman kouvri moute men fwa sa a olye pou yo jis kontrekare ak kouvri, li vire advèsè l ', li te ale difisil sou atak la tèt li.
Twazyèm wonn wè McGivern pran batay la nan Iran, ki te mennen nan kèk gwo boksè teknik ki soti nan tou de gwo chabwak.
Pwochen jij yo te goumen nan venn menm jan an. Wonn final la menm si se te yon lagè deyò; both boxers throwing caution to the wind and an all out slugfest ensued for the entire final three minutes – what an exhilarating round.
After eight fantastic rounds of boxing it was Ben McGivern declared victorious, but just who will reign victorious on the 22nd June.
