PETROV: "VOY A ARGENTINA A GANAR"

Una vez consumado el combate entre Petrov y Maidana del próximo 23 de septiembre en Buenos Aires, una gran noticia para el boxeo español, Petr Petrov ha contestado a la prensa norteamericana con estas palabras: "No me preocupa si muchos púgiles no han querido enfrentarse a Maidana. No voy a Argentina de vacaciones. Voy a ganar."
Por su lado, el argentino Marcos René Maidana, campeón interino, ha declarado: "Me alegra de que alguien tenga pelotas de venir a pelear conmigo. Estoy contento y preparado para otra guerra."
La oportunidad de su vida ha llegado a Petrov, pero ante un pegador temible, con 27 Kos de 30 victorias.

Pacquiao says improved skill, style will beat Marquez, not weight

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- If Manny Pacquiao dominates Juan Manuel Marquez in their anticipated third bout on Nov. 12, many observers will chalk it up to weight and the 5-to-1 underdog’s inability to carry it.
Although Marquez gave Pacquiao hell in their first two bouts -- a draw at featherweight and a split-decision loss at junior lightweight -- the general consensus is that the Filipino icon is better suited to fighting at the contracted 144-pound catchweight of the their third bout than the Mexican master boxer.
However, Pacquiao and his promoter, Bob Arum, don‘t believe that weight is as much of a factor in this fight as odds makers and boxing writers have made of it.
Pacquiao says he has evolved as a fighter since his first two encounters with Marquez and the decisive victory he’s vowed to score in the third fight will have more to do with his improved skill and technique than weight.
Arum says the fight will come down to styles. And since he’s the promoter the Nov. 12 event, which will be televised live on HBO Pay-Per-View from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, he has no problem promising the public another barnburner based on their contrasting styles.
“Manny Pacquiao is all about aggression,” Arum told the media at the recent Los Angeles-area press conference at The Beverly Hills Hotel. “He takes the fight to his opponent. That’s why he has so much trouble with Juan Manuel Marquez, who in all the years I’ve been in boxing, is the greatest counter puncher that I’ve seen.”
Although Arum has a point, the weight factor is still hard to ignore.
Since their rematch in March of 2008, Pacquiao has won major titles at lightweight, junior welterweight, welterweight and junior middleweight, dominating and sometimes battering naturally bigger fighters along the way.
Marquez has won titles at lightweight but he floundered in his only bout above the 135-pound limit, a one-sided 12-round decision loss to Floyd Mayweather in ‘09.
Arum says Marquez’s loss to Mayweather had nothing to do with weight and everything to do with styles.
“Of course Marquez didn’t do well against Mayweather,” he said. “Mayweather is a defensive fighter, maybe even a defensive genius, the worst kind of fighter for a counter puncher. A defensive fighter takes away a counter puncher’s main asset. There’s nothing for him to counter punch and he has to become the aggressor.
“Marquez won’t have to do that against Manny. And Manny won’t put on a lot of weight after the weigh-in. It’s not like Manny is going to blow up to be a middleweight by fight time. To do that would take away from his speed and reflexes. They’ll be within one pound of each other (on fight night).
“The increased skills of both fighters is what’s going to determine who will have the advantage.”
Pacquiao believes his skills have improved drastically since their last fight.
“I’ve changed a lot,” Pacquiao said. “I’ve had years to improve my technique and my strategy. There’s a big difference in my style now compared to my style the last time we fought.”
The key differences between the way Pacquiao fought Marquez in ‘08 and his current fighting style is his ability to fight effectively in close and his patience.
Pacquiao doesn’t simply jump in and out of range with quick power combinations these days. He’s choosing the right moment to slip or get under his opponent’s punches and then he advances close enough to attack their body and head before he steps around to either side.
He’s not in a rush to mix it up as quickly as he used to be. Pacquiao has been willing to occasionally allow his opponent to make the first move in recent fights. Sometimes he forces their hand by feinting and then catches them with counter punches once they are out of position.
Pacquiao counter punching Marquez? It sounds surreal but his trainer says it will happen on Nov. 12.
“Manny can turn the tables on Marquez a little bit,” Freddie Roach told RingTV.com. “He can do it because he knows how to feint now, so he’s not as predictable. Opponents don’t know if he’s coming or going.”
Nobody could have imagined a feinting and counter-punching Pacquiao when he overwhelmed Marco Antonio Barrera with his frenetic fight pace in 2003 or when he struggled with Marquez after dropping the technician three times in the first round of their featherweight title bout in ‘04.
However, the first bout with Marquez and the close decision loss to Erik Morales in 2005 were the starting points for Roach’s project to develop Pacquiao into a complete fighter.
The version that fought Marquez in ‘04 was painfully raw in comparison to the fighter who is now recognized as the pound-for-pound best.
That fighter was a stalking one-armed puncher who often squared up in front of his opposition. Pacquiao’s offense consisted of a repetitive one-two combination. The jab was merely a set-up for his powerful straight left.
His only footwork was constant bouncing and occasional in-and-out movement. His defense was a high guard mixed in with methodical side-to-side head movement.
It wasn’t difficult for seasoned technicians such as Marquez and Morales to time and catch Pacquiao, who often bounced straight back after getting clipped.
If he didn’t make an effort to add more technique to his awesome natural talent it’s possible that he would have peaked as a fighter six or seven years ago. However, neither the fighter nor his trainer was going to let that happen.
Roach, who began training Pacquiao in 2001, is a little embarrassed that he didn’t work on improving the young champion’s style earlier.
“It was more my fault than Manny’s,” Roach said. “I was satisfied with him knocking everybody out with his left. After the Morales loss I made it my mission to make his right hand just as dangerous.
“It took about a year to bring it out. You can see the improvement during the three fights with Morales. He always had the right hand but he didn’t have the confidence to use it during a fight.”
Roach says Pacquiao’s challenge of WBC lightweight beltholder David Diaz in June of ’08, which immediately followed the Marquez rematch, was the fight his star pupil put it all together.
“Diaz was the perfect opponent for Manny to put everything we had worked on in the gym into practice,” Roach said of the tough-but-limited brawler, who Pacquiao stopped in the ninth round. “He finally tried everything in that fight -- using angles, lateral movement, the right hook -- and it worked so well that it gave him the confidence to use the style against Oscar De La Hoya in his next fight.
“When it worked against Oscar I knew he would stick with it.”

Pues el Bellator se me había pasado, el domingo caerá.

Special atention to Luis " Sapo " Santos.

Creo que ese te gustara Pankrarum.

Creo que ya he visto algún combate suyo.

Y ya puestos me haría más ilusión ser fan de Don King, al menos es más gracioso...

All-time-great boxing champion James "Lights Out" Toney is turning a negative into a positive… As in he’s positive he’s going to Russia to kick Denis Ledbedev’s ass. Toney has decided to re-focus on his boxing career and target the #1 cruiserweight contender Denis Ledbedev, who recently knocked out one of his old-time rivals, Roy Jones Jr.

“November 5, I’m going to invade Russia and show this punk what happens when he messes with the USA,” said the always quotable Toney. “I’m calling it ‘Lights Out in Russia’ because he’s just the first one I’m going to whip. After I beat up this Ledbedev, I’m going back to Heavyweight after the one too afraid to fight the Klitchko sisters. Povetkin, I’m kicking his ass too!”

Toney was last seen in the ring in February when he pitched a 10-round shutout over veteran Damon Reed. He is the current IBA Heavyweight Champion.

“If they think the Roy Jones fight was big over there, wait till I get there and tell them all what I think about European fighters bringing great American fighters over there once they’re showing signs of age and acting like beating them means anything. The Roy Jones that this Ledbedev beat was finished. I’m ready and I’m as good as I’ve ever been. Watch what I do to him. And now I hear Povetkin wants to beat up Evander Holyfield, he's been done since I knocked his ass out in 2003. If Povetkin isn't scared he can jump in the ring after I put his teammate away on November 5th”

“I’m going to beat [Lebedev's] ass right at his weight class, so he can’t make any excuses". The last time James Toney fought at this weight he beat the than undefeated IBF Cruiserweight Champion Vasiliy Jirov in what became 2003 fight of the year. "I’m going to do it again in November.” James " Lights out" Toney proclaimed. Source

Chicos, malas noticias, nos desgracian a Cano...

Cano replaces Matthysse against Morales for WBC belt on Sept 17th

Sep 10th, 2011

Undefeated 21-year-old junior welterweight Pablo Cesar Cano will face three-division titleholder Erik Morales for the WBC's vacant title belt in a bout that is slated for HBO Pay Per View from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Sept. 17.

Cano (22-0-1, 17 KOs) of Mexico City has replaced hard-hitting Lucas Matthysse (28-2, 26 KOs) of Argentina, who withdrew earlier this week with a viral infection that prevented him from training.

The 34-year-old Morales (51-7, 35 KOs) of Mexico will clash with Cano on the under card of a main event featuring Floyd Mayweather Jr.(41-0, 25 KOs) against WBC welterweight titleholder Victor Ortiz (29-2-2, 22 KOs).

"The opponent for Erik Morales' world championship fight is going to be Pablo Cesar Cano. Pablo Cesar Cano is the highest-available ranked opponent by the WBC in the 140-pound weight class," said Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer.

"Pablo Cesar Cano is thrilled, he's undefeated, and he's 22-0 with 17 knockouts. He has a tremendous punch and he's an all-action fighter. We wanted to make sure that the replacement for Matthysse was going to be an opponent that would make this a fight that we could be proud of because that's what the fans on this very special weekend will want, expect and deserve."

Morales ended a 31-month ring absence with a unanimous decision over Jose Alfaro in March of last year, his first of three straight victories. Morales then lost a disputed majority decision in April to Marcos Maidana (30-2, 27 KOs), a fight many ringsiders thought Morales won.

"Just like he was against Maidana, we know that Morales will be up to the task," said Schaefer. "Even though he's fighting a younger and much stronger guy and a much bigger guy as well. But he said 'Just bring him on,' and he's ready for anyone that we put in front of him."

The last man to beat to current WBO welterweight beltholder Manny Pacquiao, Morales is one of five Mexican fighters to have earned title belts in three divisions with Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., Juan Manuel Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera and Fernando Montiel.

In victory over Cano, Morales could become the first of his countryman to win a fourth belt over as many different weight divisions.

Morales, of Tijuana, Mex., is perhaps recognized most for his clashes with Barrera (66-7, 43 KOs), of Mexico City, having lost twice in a trilogy that rivals the greatest of all time.

Five months after falling to Barrera for the second time, Morales out-pointed Pacquiao in March 2005. But Morales lost his next four fights after that, culminating with a decision against David Diaz in his junior welterweight debut in August 2007.

"This is going to be a very good showdown between a young, undefeated fighter from Mexico City and a legend from Tijuana. Pablo Cesar Cano is 21-years young, and he's from Mexico City, and so the rivalry between Mexico City and Tijuana, where Morales is from, is going to continue," said Schaefer, referring to the Barrera-Morales trilogy.

"Interestingly, Pablo is trained by the same trainer who trained Marco Antonio Barrera from Mexico City as well, and that's Rudy Perez. I spoke to Rudy, and he is excited about the opportunity. He has the recipe and knows how to beat Morales. Most recently, he did it in the corner of Maidana as well. So, he's excited at the opportunity." Source
