RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 02-10-2019 Just a vid I haven't seen before and I have watched pretty much everything on this man. Check out the jabs at 3.17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWXNfaj3t4E&index=16&t=0s&list=WL RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 02-10-2019 (02-10-2019, 12:26 PM)bart Wrote: Just a vid I haven't seen before and I have watched pretty much everything on this man. Check out the jabs at 3.17 Good find! He had the most beautiful jab ever. Better than Holmes. But damn, his speech is slurred. Bad. Sad. RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 02-10-2019 yeah not sure if they thought other geezer would go as hard... looked like Ali wanted to spank him I was actually surprised in 84 he could do that RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 02-13-2019 Kownacki talks Wilder, Big Baby, Joshua and more By Przemek Garczarczyk Undefeated and always entertaining heavyweight title contender Adam “Babyface” Kownacki (19-0, 15 KO) talks with Fightnews.com about his championship hopes, possible return to the ring in June, about fighting Dillian Whyte in the UK, helping prepare his friend Jarrell Miller for Anthony Joshua…and his UFC connection. A week after your spectacular performance against Gerald Washington, you’ve decided to get some R&R with your wife Justyna. Are you switching off the phone and going away? I usually don’t write to people that it’s my time off. Justyna gives me this look when I’m on the phone too much when we’re together. It works! Also, fans understand that we are all normal people and need some time off and privacy. You told me before that when something is going on, you meet with your manager Keith Connolly, almost every day. Is something going on already? This works really well because he works very close to where I live. We can meet for coffee or lunch whenever we want, without special arrangements. Fans want to know what’s next a minute after the previous fight…but this is boxing. What I can say is, that I don’t want to sit on my ass for the next 6-7 months, just waiting for Deontay Wilder. It’s a great fight I really, really want it and deserve it but I know that Deontay has his own obligations, a rematch with Tyson Fury and all that. Even if he would lose to Tyson – it’s a still great fight for me. The plan, for now, is to be back in June. Not sure where and against whom, but June is the plan. I plan to get better before the championship fight, which I hope will happen this year. Dillian Whyte wants a piece of you. Supposedly. No problem. But let’s NOT do hypothetical fights – make real ones. Contact Keith with an offer, if we like it, it’s ON. In the States or in UK – it doesn’t matter to me. I will be ready. More and more fans – and boxing writers – are acknowledging your power. Before the narrative was about how many punches you throw – now it’s about how hard you hit. We are working on that, both during strength training and in the ring. We have a special program, special training and I’m already getting text messages from my team reminding me that I have to stay on course, work on that. Anticipating Jarrell Miller versus Anthony Joshua, will you help your friend Big Baby prepare for the WBA/WBO/IBF champ although your styles are so much different? Of course, because I can make Big Baby work hard during sparring. No BS time – punches are flying, he will be tired and know he worked hard, getting better. Big Baby can always count on me. Joshua fight? Jarrell moves really well, people underestimate that when fighting him. What’s next? I have a ‘Tour de Poland’ in mind. Leaving in a couple of days for two weeks. I’ll be in some big Polish cities and, of course, visit my family in Łomża. I will also use this trip, being in Europe, to be in Prague for UFC Fight Night 145. A very good friend of mine, Gian Villante, is battling Polish fighter Michał Oleksiejczuk on the card. I have to support my buddy, no matter what. I like MMA a lot…but no worries, I’m staying in the ring, the octagon is safe. Funny story: I was in Australia, also supporting Gian at a UFC event, and I met Joanna Jędrzejczyk (female MMA star) in the elevator. I say “Hey Joanna!” in Polish and she was shocked. What is this Polish guy, who is not in my team, doing Down Under? Also, my trainer Keith Trimble will be there, so happy to be part of this show as a regular fan, not an athlete. The main event is also with a Polish fighter, the great Jan Błachowicz, so it sounds like a fun night in a beautiful city. After this trip – back to work. Important: all the best to my fans, wherever in the world you are – thanks for supporting me! RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 02-13-2019 Would have been a great fight for Izu after Breazeale. Too late now, that ship has sailed. RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 02-13-2019 WBC orders Breazeale-Whyte interim title bout The WBC Board of Governors has voted unanimously to order an interim title in the heavyweight division under the WBC rules and regulations guidelines and protocols. Mandatory challenger Dominique Breazeale and WBC silver champion Dillian Whyte have been told to commence negotiations and if there is no agreement between the parties, a purse bid will be held at WBC headquarters in Mexico City on March 19. With WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury headed toward a direct rematch, this ruling provides activity in the heavyweight division and addresses the rights of Breazeale as mandatory challenger.

Joyce (7-0, 7 KOs) and Stiverne (25-3-1, 21 KOs) had to be separated as they debated the truth surrounding a 2017 sparring session in Las Vegas. Joe Joyce: “This is quite a step up for me. I have my eyes set on bigger fights and he is the right step for me. To be honest, I was surprised that he accepted the challenge. I think that he believes that a win over me will help him regain his status as a top heavyweight. He won’t beat me.” Bermane Stiverne: “I’m glad he thinks I’m here as a gatekeeper or stepping stone…I would have packed it up or hung it up if I wasn’t ready. I’m coming to fight…This is the perfect fight for me. They’re taking me too lightly and it’s a mistake.” RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 02-23-2019 https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/tensions-high-for-degale-vs-eubank-jr-fight/111015 |
