Oquendo Ducks Lomachenko

Oquendo now says in his last fight against Tamayo he suffered a minor injury on his left hand and isn't willing to fight if he's not 100%. My guess is he finally watched some film on Vasyl and shamefully ducks a guy making his debut, couldnt even wait to get into the ring before taking a knee. Who the hell will Vasyl fight now.




"Como habíamos anticipado hace unos días, el combate que marcará el debut profesional del ucraniano doble campeón olímpico y mundial, Vasyl Lomachenko finalmente no será ante Jonathan Oquendo (23-3, 16KO’s).
Oquendo, quien el pasado 17 de agosto derrotó por nocaut a Miguel Tamayo, sufrió una pequeña lesión en su mano izquierda, la cual no le permitirá estar al 100% para enfrentar a Lomachenko.

“Me lastimé un nudillo de la mano izquierda en la pelea con Tomayo. No es nada serio, pero necesito una o dos semanas para recuperar completamente. Para pelear con un rival de la calidad del ucraniano, hay que estar al 100%”, dijo Oquendo a Decisión Dividida. “No quiero arriesgar nada si no estoy al 100%. Yo tengo una meta que es ser campeón mundial, ese es mi sueño. Peleamos con cualquiera que nos pongan de frente, pero tenemos que estar ready para que sea algo justo, así nos matamos en el ring”.
Oquendo espera poder regresar al ring antes de finalizar el año y no teme a quien le quieran poner en su camino.

“Espero que mi compañía (PRBBP) me consiga una buena pelea y podamos estar de regreso antes de finalizar el año. Quiero darle a mi gente de Vega Baja y de todo Puerto Rico lo que quieren; que me convierta en campeón mundial”, manifestó el púgil.'

Claro, y esta "lesión" le sale dos semanas después de la pelea...

¿y ahora a quién se enfrenta Lomachenko? y la verdadera pregunta es: ¿su debut se retrasa o le encontrarán un rival de última hora?

Buena pregunta, sin respuesta de momento...ojalá no se retrase el debut.Aquí está su twitter:

Canelo, entrenamiento público de saco ayer...



...Y está rapidito por lo que parece...

Habrá que ver como está para el 15 de septiembre.

LEGEND II: BADR HARI vs ALEXEY IGNASHOV


Badr Hari will fight again on the second event of LEGEND. This event will take place on November 9 in Moscow and this time his opponent is Alexey Ignashov from Belarus. The two kickboxers will meet each other for the third time in the ring, Alexey won the first match in 2003 and Badr won the rematch in 2010.

LEGEND already confirmd two other fights. These MMA bouts will be between Paul Daley and Alexander Yakovlev and Alexander Emelianenko will face Mirco 'Cro Cop' Filipovic.

Yo acabo de enterarme,ni zorra idea de como anda ignashov,la pista se la tengo perdida aunque creo que hace no demasiado tiempo peleó o quiero recordar que alguien puso algo por acá

Se me hacía que Ignashov estaba retirado...Veremos si Hari sigue su curva de descenso en una carrera irregular...Que gane el bielorruso, Hari a estas alturas no debería ni tener licencia.

Muere en un Hospital de Nebraska, a los 44 años, Tommy Morrisson, conocido boxeísticamente como " Tommy Gunn". Al parecer tenía SIDA desde 1996.



No sabía que fue boxeador porfesiona, lo conozco mas por su papel en Rocki 5. DEP

Y muy bueno además, uno de los mejores ganchos de izquierda de los Pesos Pesados de su generación.

DEP.

Me encanta este combate.

gracias por el careo Durán, lo descargaré y me lo veré mañana que ahora estoy el la cartelera de UFC en Brasil. ¿Cuándo se enfrentan Bradley y Marquez?

Curtis Stevens lleva hablando mucha mierda de cara a su pelea con Golovkin en Noviembre...Más dura será la caída.

En mi opinión lo único peligroso que tiene para este combate es su pegada, y un estilo agresivo en la media que será su final (o sea peligroso para él mismo).

12 de Octubre en Las Vegas, además porque es un cartelón con un igualado Salido vs Cruz por el título mundial pluma, y el debut de Lomachenko a 10 rounds, que si gana, enfrentará en Enero al ganador del combate semiestelar (Orlando Cruz vs Salido) por el título mundial pluma (de ganarlo batiría un récord en la historia del boxeo profesional).

con todas las cosas buenas que has dicho de Lom y los pocos videos que he visto de él tengo un hype importante y si me dices que la cartelera es buena me la descargaré entera

Upcoming Mayweather-Alvarez Fight Setting Multiple New Records For Golden Boy

Already a lock to set the record for the largest gate in boxing history, the Sept. 14 Floyd Mayweather-Canelo Alvarez fight also will set new Golden Boy Promotions highs in closed-circuit tickets sold, sponsorship sales and activation levels and on-air promotional support. "We're not just breaking the records," said Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer. "We're shattering them." The live gate for the sold-out fight at the MGM Grand will come in at $19,905,000, Schaefer said, beating the $18,419,200 set by Mayweather-Oscar De La Hoya in the same arena in '07. Though evolutions in technology and viewing habits make it unlikely that the fight -- or any fight -- will break the PPV record of 2.4 million set by Mayweather-De La Hoya, Mayweather-Alvarez is on pace to make history in most other categories. Among the indicators:

* Closed-circuit sales in Las Vegas eclipsed the initially anticipated 8,000 tickets in the first few days after they went on sale, Schaefer said, leading MGM Resorts Int'l to expand to 12,000 and then 25,000 seats at six properties, the most ever made available since the emergence of at-home PPV. Those tickets are priced at $100, rather than the $50-75 that is typical for closed-circuit viewing on the Strip.
* About 5,000 U.S. bars and restaurants have purchased rights to show the fight, up from about 3,000 for Mayweather-De La Hoya.
* NCM Fathom will distribute the fight to about 500 movie theaters set up for almost 125,000 seats, five times as many as the previous high set by Mayweather in his victory against Miguel Cotto in May.
* CBS, Showtime and various TV distributors will combine to deliver $80-100M in promotional value through commercials plugging the fight, an increase of about 40% over the most they had spent previously on a Golden Boy PPV promotion, Schaefer said. The breakdown: CBS-Showtime will deliver $15-20M; In-Demand will deliver about $24M through its 355 affiliated cable systems and about $10M through other channels; satellite providers will provide $8-10M; telecoms will provide $5-7.5M; NCM Fathom in-theater spots will provide $3-5M; and fight sponsors will dedicate $15-20M.
* Sponsors will pay rights fees of more than $2M, up from the previous high of $1.25M and more than double the $800,000 generated by Mayweather-De La Hoya.
* Foreign rights from about 160 countries will exceed $3.3M -- not including PPV in Puerto Rico and Canada -- a 50% increase over the previous high set by Mayweather-De La Hoya. "When you have a couple of hundred thousand fans come out to see Canelo and Floyd Mayweather live on the (10-city) press tour as we did, that sort of sets the stage," Schaefer said. "It was sort of like Beatlemania. It really gave us an idea of how big this fight is."

UNPRECEDENTED PROMOTIONAL SUPPORT: Showtime will get unprecedented promotional support for the fight from the CBS mothership, in part because of where the fight falls on the calendar. The network promoted Mayweather's last fight during its Final Four coverage, but that was a month ahead of the event. This fight will get mentioned during CBS' NFL coverage this Sunday and then during its telecast of the Alabama-Texas A&M game on Sept. 14, hours before the PPV. CBS will air 10-, 15- and 30-second promos throughout the week during male-skewing primetime shows, including "CSI:" and "Hawaii Five-0," as well as during "Late Show." "Where we benefit on the entertainment side is from a variety of top-rated and male-skewing programs on the network which (reach) the casual fan," said Showtime Sports Exec VP & GM Stephen Espinoza. "Those types of shows give us access to a huge audience of males 18-49. That's a promotional opportunity we've never had before."
