Wladimir Klitschko vs David Haye



Este sábado 2 de junio en Hamburgo (Alemania) por fin se celebrará uno de los combates más esperados de los pesos pesados en los últimos años, el ucraniano Wladimir Klitschko 25-1 (55-3 con 49 nocauts)actual campeón de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) y la Federación Internacional de Boxeo (FIB), unificará sus cinturones frente al británico David Haye (25-1 con 23 nocauts) campeón de la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB).
En rueda de prensa ambos presentaron sus credenciales y calentaron el esperado enfrentamiento:
David Haye volvió a demostrar una vez más que se encuentra muy agusto ante los micrófonos y llevó la voz cantante en la rueda de prensa, manifestó: o8220;Va a ser divertido observar su mal funcionamiento robótico. Eso es lo que va a pasaro8221;, Haye cree que su velocidad se impondrá al boxeo lento de Wladimir o8220;Estoy saludable, la velocidad es ridícula, el poder de puños está ahí. Estoy en un buen lugaro8221;.
o8221;Él está atascado en su estilo rígido desde que es amateuro8221;, o8220;Van a ver la ejecución más brutal de un boxeadoro8221;, o8220;Lo destruiré por completoo8221;.
o8221;Wladimir se encuentra en excelente estado, está mentalmente preparado y ha visto todos mis videos. Pero en la noche de la pelea verán algo completamente diferente y será grandioso ver la disfunción del roboto8221;.o8220;Estoy listo para hacer lo que siempre prometí hacer. Estoy sano, la velocidad es una locura y la potencia está ahí. Estoy en un muy buen lugar. Estoy muy contento de que la pelea se lleve a cabo ahora y no hace un par de años ya que ahora soy un peleador mucho mejoro8221;.
Wladimir Klitschko manifestó: o8220;Mi nombre es Dr. Klitschko, soy un terapeuta y el 2 de julio voy a darte un tratamiento. Va a ser una rehabilitación de realidado8221;.
o8221;Te voy a noquear para que vuelvas a la realidad, va a ser bueno para tu vida. Vas a ser una mejor persona, con mejores modaleso8221;.

Hostia tio, que gracia me ha dado lo de he estado pensando en...

¿Chávez Jr. peleará frente a Manfredo Jr. y luego a por Maravilla?



El futuro del actual campeón mundial del peso medio del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo el mexicano Julio César Chávez jr. semana a semana cambia después de proclamarse campeón del mundo el pasado 4 de junio con cierta polémica frente al alemán Sebastian Zbik.Si nada se tuerce el mexicano realizará su primera defensa mundialista voluntaria frente Peter Manfredo Jr. (37-6 con 20 nocauts) el 19 de noviembre y luego a primeros de año tendría que realizar su primera defensa obligatoria frente al campeón Diamante del CMB el argentino Sergio o8220;Maravillao8221; Martínez.
El presidente del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo José Sulaimán dejará de proteger la carrera del Jr. y según afirmó después de realizar su primera defensa voluntaria a finales de año no tendría más remedio que medirse a o8220;Maravillao8221; Martínez, el argentino pese a no tener el cinturón mundial en sus manos es el verdadero campeón de la categoría mediana.
Pero hay que ser claro las palabras de Sulaimán no hay que creerlas, hace unas semanas dijo que el ganador del combate entre Chávez Jr. y Zbik se enfrentaría al o8220;Venenoo8221; Rubio después de que este ganase una pelea eliminatoria para disputar el cinturón y ahora se olvida de Rubio.
Sinceramente Chavez Jr. salvo sorpresón actualmente el mexicano no tiene nada que hacer en un combate contra Martínez por lo que sus manejadores podrían convencer a Chávez Jr. de barajar otras opciones como abandonar la categoría mediana para buscar otro título mundial de otro organismo o bajar a superwelter para medirse al ganador del Cotto vs Margarito.

It´s called homosexualidad latente.Debe hablarlo usted con su familia y amigos, abiertamente...

jajajaj que hijo de ....


Una pregunta seria, aunque suene a coña.

Que opinion te merece el nivel actual de pesos pesados en boxeo???

No es coña quiero saber que opinas tu que eres aficionado de verdad y no como algunos aqui que somos mas de refilon.

Deleitame con tu respuesta y dejate de mariconadas jajaja

Haye promete una "ejecución brutal"

Video inside:

Aunque no lo creas apenas sigo la división de pesos pesados.Me parece que los únicos buenos estos últimos años han sido los hermanos Klitchsko (y más bien Vitali que Vladimir, en mi opinión) y quizás Haye, Adamek y Povetkin.Aunque si que es cierto que ahora están saliendo un montón de jóvenes promesas, asique veremos a la división salir de estos mínimos históricos de calidad en pocos años.Aunque en los USA los pesos pesados seguirán sin gustar, porque ya se sabe que a los americanos no les gusta el deporte internacional y en los pesos pesados los americanos actualmente no pintan una mierda y es en los países del antiguo bloque soviético donde está el futuro.Es lo mismo con el fútbol, los yankis lo menosprecian como un deporte tercermundista y donde las madres apuntan a sus hijos pequeños después de la escuela, pero todos sabemos que si la selección de USA gana el mundial los americanos van a pasar de la noche a la mañana a ser más hinchas que nadie.

Wladimir Klitschko: Sus mejores peleas



Revive los mejores momentos de la carrera del campeón pesado Wladimir Klitschko, que el sábado enfrenta a David Haye.

A turning point for the heavyweight division?

The best thing for heavyweight boxing is, quite certainly, the worst thing imaginable to Wladimir Klitschko. Former HBO Sports president Seth Abraham used to say o8220;there is boxing and then there is heavyweight boxing. They are in the same industry but they are not the same business.o8217;o8217;
What he meant was that heavyweight boxing is the train that drives the sport. When the heavyweights thrive, so does all of boxing. When they do not (which they haveno8217;t since the retirement of the last undisputed heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis eight years ago) interest in the sport wanes and everyone suffers.
That is true unless youo8217;re based in Germany, as Klitschko is, and hence can make millions without facing much of a challenge or venturing far from home. But while there may be excitement about the Klitschko brothers in Europe, they have been all but driven off American television (including pay-per-view) because they dono8217;t deliver the only thing that counts here o8211; cash paying eyeballs.
But Saturday night Klitschko will risk his RING, IBF and WBO titles in a unification match against what outwardly at least appears to be a dangerous opponent, WBA titleholder and former cruiserweight champion David Haye. For an assortment of reasons, this has become a verbal blood match. Whether that carries on into the ring will decide whether interest in heavyweight boxing returns to America.
That there is no legitimate American challenger to the Klitschkos or Haye is a large part of the problem in the U.S. because we are a provincial lot used to ruling boxingo8217;s most important division since the days of Jack Johnson. Frankly, those days are behind us in part because of the rise of hungry Eastern European fighters with Herculian proportions but also because todayo8217;s American heavyweights play power forward in the NBA or tight end and linebacker in the NFL.
Those factors in and of themselves do not preclude the division from being popular in the U.S., however. What precludes it is the kind of boring stylistic approach of the Klitschkos, who stay behind their jab like a picador at a bull fight, seldom risking themselves in the hurt business until they have so lanced their opponent he is out of gas and unable to resist them any longer.
That this is a style that works for them is beyond argument. Wladimir and older brother Vitali hold three quarters of the established titles and last lost a fight in 2004. The younger Klitschko will be making his 10^th title defense since winning back the IBF portion from Chris Byrd five years ago. They have made a lot of money because of their approach but Klitschko will also be fighting in Germany for the eighth time in his last nine fights and that is no accident of address either.
Ito8217;s because unlike most fighters, including Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao, the Klitschkos make less money in the U.S. than in Germany. The reason is the same reason that most people without a direct hand in the Klitschko till are hoping for a spectacular Haye victory.
If Klitschko jabs his way to another boring points victory, it will only further bury heavyweight boxing in the States. So boxingo8217;s best option would be for the loud-mouthed Haye (25-1, 23 KO) to back up his ever more lurid threats with an explosive performance in which he hurts Klitshcko (55-3, 49 KO) early and uses that to control his spacing and get inside a jab thrown ever more reluctantly.
Without that jab, Klitschko has proven to be a lesser force, one who has been knocked out three times in his career (Ross Purrity, Lamon Brewster and Corrie Sanders). Once hurt, he becomes extremely defensive, pawing in retreat rather than jabbing and exposing a chin that may be less than granite-like.
In his defense, he was down three times against Samuel Peter, a flawed but powerful Nigerian, and rose to not lose another minute of the fight except for the moments when he was sprawled on the canvas. That is to say he will get up if Haye drills him but will he be the same fighter against an opponent who is faster and more athletic?
o8220;This is going to be the most brutal execution of a boxer that youo8217;ve seen for many, many years,o8221; Haye predicted this week in Hamburg, where the fight will be contested in front of an estimated crowd of 55,000 in an outdoor soccer stadium. o8220;Io8217;m going to go out there and absolutely destroy him, really quickly. Io8217;m ready to do what I promised to do. Io8217;m in a really good place.o8221;
Such talk is tame by Hayeo8217;s often over-the-top approach to marketing. His worst moment came several years ago when he showed up at a press conference to hype a later-cancelled Klitschko match wearing a T-shirt with both fighterso8217; heads severed from their necks as an image of Haye held them aloft.
Vitali grew so angry he grabbed Haye by the throat and had to be restrained. Wladimir, as is his way, was more restrained but continues to seeth over an insult he says o8220;went over the line.o8217;o8217;
The last time there was a line in boxing was before Jack Johnson held the title but Klitschko clearly remains disgusted with Hayeo8217;s approach outside the ring and for the first time in his career is promising to do more than jab his opponent in the nose as payback.
o8220;You will be a better person and have better manners,o8221; Klitschko told Haye at a press conference Monday, for which Haye arrived 45 minutes late. o8220;You have a certain attitude that is not so good for your life inside and outside the ring. Be on time, princess.o8217;o8217;
By boxing standards that was far from Paul Revere hollering, o8220;The British are coming! The British are comingo8217;o8217; at the top of his lungs but for Klitschko it was a moment of obvious pique that heo8217;s seldom shown in the past. Haye believes that is a sign that all his taunts and tormenting T-shirts have o8220;gotten to Wladimir. Heo8217;s outside his comfort zone.o8217;o8217;
Frankly, thato8217;s what boxing needs. It doesno8217;t need another exhibition of patience and jabbing. Nor does it need to see Haye stand on the outside and try to out speed Klitschko, as he did Nikolai Valuev when he first won the WBA title before finally hurting him in the final round. It is unlikely Haye can win a decision under any circumstances in Germany anyway and certainly not one where he allows Klitschko to stand safely out of range behind his jab and avoid close-quarter contact, where hand speed is crucial.
What heavyweight boxing needs right now is an explosive Haye victory because a knockout of the younger Klitschko would set up an inevitable match with his big brother in a unification fight that the world would be interested in o8211; including but not limited to the 50 states.
The story lines would be many, and the fact that Vitali is more inclined to engage in hand-to-hand combat than his younger brother would add a menacing edge to things because Hayeo8217;s chin remains as suspect as Wladimiro8217;s at the moment.
Since Klitschko vs. Klitschko will never happen, Klitschko vs. Haye I and II is the best alternative. All have a punchero8217;s chance and no one but their staunchest allies can be sure who has the best chance. That air of mystery is what makes fights intriguing. It would bring an interest to the division not seen since Lewis-Tyson because there is a whiff of danger on both sides.
Long claiming to be in search of the Klitschkos, David Haye has finally found one of them. If he can dethrone him with a concussive explosion he will have set up an even bigger payday for himself and done more for heavyweight boxing in one night than the Klitschkos have done in nearly a decade of dominance.

Quiero opinar sobre ese artículo y decir que ese topicazo es bullshit.Antes también existía la NBA y la NFL.Y los atletas que compiten ahí forman una parte muy pequeña del total de boxeadores a nivel mundial.Una pequeña parte también comparándoles con todos los nuevos boxeadores instruidos en el bloque soviético y que ahora se están pasando al boxeo de pago.¿Kobe Bryan boxeando? Por favor...hace falta algo más que físico.El aspecto mental es fundamental en un deporte de contacto y, como se está demostrando ultimamente con esta moda de que entren a boxear jugadores de fútbol americano y descartes de la NBA sin apenas años de entrenamiento en boxeo, una base amateur es fundamental y si no la tienes te comes cuatro mierdacas.De ahí el auge actual de los boxeadores europeos.

Klitschko biding time until day of reckoning



Wladimir Klitschko and his team applaude after David Haye's little show at an open workout Wednesday in Hamburg, Germany. Below, are photos of Haye celebrating his make-believe victory over Klitschko and the boots trainer Adam Booth wore to grow to the height of the giant Ukrainian.

HAMBURG, Germany o8211; David Haye and trainer Adam Booth staged a one-act show for about 200 gawking fans and dozens of journalists o8211; as well as one Wladimir Klitschko, his opponent Saturday -- who surrounded a ring set up at a Mercedes dealership Wednesday. Booth wore goofy-looking boots that made him taller and held a stick with a glove on the end of it to replicate Klitschkoo8217;s jab as the two pretended to spar at the promotional workout.



Then Booth raised the mitt on his other hand to roughly the height of Klitschkoo8217;s head and BAM! Haye landed a big right that sent Booth flying, thus ending the make-believe Klitschkoo8217;s night in dramatic fashion. Haye raised his arms in mock triumph as the crowd clapped in appreciation of the two-minute satire, including Klitschko and his entourage sitting below the ring.
However, when it came time for Klitschko (55-3, 49 knockouts) to demonstrate his moves with trainer Emanuel Steward, Haye (25-1, 23 KOs) began to make his way toward the exit before he was stopped by a pack of television journalists?
o8220;Hey, dono8217;t leave,o8221; Klitschko said from the ring. o8220;David Haye. Youo8217;re going to be No. 50 [Klitschkoo8217;s 50^th knockout victim]. Dono8217;t leave.o8221;
o8220;Io8217;m not leaving,o8221; Haye bellowed back.
o8220;Good, stay. I want you to watch my workout.o8221;
Alas, Haye didno8217;t stay. Perhaps it was one more in a long, sordid line of pre-fight jabs at Klitschko apparently meant to knock the longtime heavyweight champion off his oh-so-effective game.
Klitschko is used to such behavior after two years of back-and-forth barbs. The giant Ukrainan, making the 10th defense of his two titles, has grown to intensely dislike his rival but takes great solace in the fact that the time of reckoning is coming soon.



The workouts took place only three days before the fighters are due to meet face to face at the 57,000-seat Imtech Arena soccer stadium in this town of almost 2 million in northern Germany.
o8220;I think he sits around and thinks, o8216;How can I piss off Wladimir Klitschko?o8221; Klitschko told RingTV.com, a gleam in his eye. o8220;Boxing is a serious sport. Ito8217;s no joke, full contact. A person can get hurt. Things happen.
o8220;o8230; Reality is coming, a tough reality. Io8217;m going to enjoy this fight.o8221;
Not taking bait?: Klitschkoo8217;s handlers are certain that Hayeo8217;s efforts to rattle their fighter will fail.
Klitschko doesno8217;t appear to be even remotely fragile these days, as he clearly was the 1990s and the first half of the 2000s. Thato8217;s when he suffered his three losses -- all by knockout -- the last to Lamon Brewster in 2004.
The Klitschko of today, those close to him say, is a different man.
o8220;Wladimir has had so many professional fights,o8221; said Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions. o8220;He has 49 knockouts. Heo8217;s predicting that Haye will be No. 50. Heo8217;s a seasoned veteran, a calm fighter, the ultimate professional.
o8220;He wono8217;t let anything happening outside the ring get to him inside the ring.o8221;
Shelly Finkel, Klitschkoo8217;s U.S.-based manager, said the most-dominating heavyweight of his era came of age in his first meeting with Sam Peter in 2005 o8211; three fights after the Brewster disaster.
Klitschko went down twice in the fifth round and once more in the 10^th but dominated the rest of the fight to win a unanimous decision.
o8220;Thato8217;s what put Wladimir over the hump,o8221; Finkel said. o8220;That proved to him that ito8217;s not the end of the world if you get hit. Emanuel said to him, o8216;OK, you got hit and now you know what to do.o8217; He got up and did it.
o8220;I think mentally that fight put him where he had to be.o8221;
Klitschko hasno8217;t been seriously challenged since.
Steward confident: Steward said Hayeo8217;s constant trash talking has a familiar ring to it.
o8220;To me, when I listen to him, I hear Naseem Hamed all over again,o8221; he said. o8220;The same accent, the same showmanship. It all sounds the same to me.o8221;
Of course, we know what happened with Hamed. The hard-punching southpaw from Sheffield had a nice run but fell flat when he faced a Hall of Fame-caliber opponent, Marco Antonio Barrera in 2001. The Mexican won a one-sided decision.
Steward doesno8217;t believe Haye will do any better against his fighter.
o8220;Wladimir is just too much for him all around,o8221; he said. o8220;Heo8217;s too big, too experienced in big fights, too experienced in general. They say (Haye) has speed but weo8217;ve trained for that, just like against Eddie Chambers and (Sultan) Ibragimov. And Wladimir has more speed than people think.
o8220;Wladimir has the advantage in every other way. He's at his peak right now.o8221;

10 ROUNDS: Q&A with Wladimir Klitschko



This is one in a series of monthly Q&As with boxingo8217;s elite fighters and top personalities in the sport.

The heavyweight division may be moribund in the United States but that doesno8217;t mean it is on life support everywhere else in the world. The heavyweight showdown between RING champ Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye will pack the 57,000-seat Imtech-Arena in Hamburg, Germany, this Saturday, July 2^nd.
Klitschkoo8217;s world title defense against the brash British beltholder has made heavyweights relevant again. What gives this fight added sizzle is the genuine animosity between the two. Ito8217;s not contrived. One look into Klitschkoo8217;s charcoal-black eyes during his HBO Face Off interview with Haye and Max Kellerman could tell anyone that.
Fight fans want to see Klitschko in an exciting fight and this bout may fulfill those wishes. Haye (25-1, 23 knockouts) says heo8217;s going to exploit Klitschkoo8217;s cautious style, and Klitschko (55-3, 49 KOs) would like to decapitate Haye in much in the same manner as one of Hayeo8217;s crude T-shirts depicted the two headless Klitschko brothers.
Slightly more than a week prior to stepping into the ring for arguably the biggest fight of his career, Klitschko spoke with Ring Magazine Managing Editor Joseph Santoliquito about his favorite subject of the moment o8212; David Haye.

1. Wladimir, I watched you on the HBO Face Off with Haye and Max Kellerman, and you looked like you were ready to kill Haye. Thato8217;s the angriest Io8217;ve ever seen you o8212; and you rarely get angry if at all. What was going through your mind as you were looking straight at Haye?
Wladimir Klitschko: o8220;I dono8216;t like Haye. He is a liar and you cannot trust him. For example, in the very beginning, he said he would get Chelsea stadium for a fight. But at the end, he delivered nothing and completely pulled out of the fight with me.o8221;

2. Were you offended when Haye refused to shake your hand before and after the HBO interview, if so, why?
WK: o8220;This was typical for Haye. He simply shows no respect. It is a normal behavior to shake hands with another person, but he always refuses to do so.o8221;

3. After the HBO cameras were off, did Haye say anything to you or did he run out of the studio scared?
WK: o8220;He just left the room. Actually, when we were in London in a TV show he did not want to come to the studio. He said he did not want to be in the same room with me. That was so ridiculous.o8221;

4. You once told me in The Ring interview a year ago that o8220;David Haye is a pussy!o8221; Do you still feel the same way?
WK: o8220;No further comment.o8221;

5. Has any opponent ever angered you like this before?
WK: o8220;Haye always steps over the line with what he does and says. Nobody wants to see his own and his brothero8217;s heads cut off on a t-shirt. I am really looking forward to July 2 to teach him a lesson about right behavior.o8221;

6. Haye says all you do is jab and grab. How do you reply to that?
WK: o8220;Haye believes I am accidentally triple world heavyweight champion. In doing so he is offending all my former opponents. Again, Haye shows no respect. Not towards me, nor towards these fighters. He will experience and feel in the ring what it means to fight me.o8221;

7. Youo8217;re at a stage where youo8217;ve shown how superior you are to every heavyweight in the world today, but do you think you get the respect you deserve?
WK: o8220;It is up to the people and boxing fans to give me the respect I deserve once I have finished my career. I personally do not think about my legacy.o8221;

8. Did Haye awaken a sleeping giant? Will we see the best Wladimir Klitschko ever on 2nd July in Hamburg, Germany?
WK: o8220;I always train and prepare with highest concentration and focus on my next opponent. To me it does not matter what his name is. I know that my best performance in the ring is still to come. On July 2, I will be in the best shape.o8221;

9. I know you respect all of your opponents. What are your concerns about Haye? Are there any concerns about Haye?
WK: o8220;Haye is fast and a very good puncher. It is going to be a tough fight. But I will be prepared and will definitely not underestimate him.o8221;

10. What are you predicting for the final outcome of the Haye fight?
WK: o8220;I will teach Haye a lesson on behavior and respect. I will enjoy it for 12 rounds and then knock him out. Haye will be No. 50 on my knockout list.o8221;

Kimbo debutará en box:

Former EliteXC headliner and UFC veteran Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson will make his pro-boxing debut on Aug. 13, officials today announced.

He'll headline a four-round main event at Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Okla.

Neither an opponent nor broadcast details have not been announced for the show, which Gary Shaw Productions and Tony Holden Promotions is producing.

"Even in his losses, 'Kimbo' brought a level of excitement that few fighters can generate," Shaw stated. "He is a genuine personality with unbelievable strength and character, and we're excited about his prospects in boxing.

"The minute he steps in the ring, he'll be one of the most recognizable and talked-about fighters in the sport, and his fans around the world will once again feel the excitement."

Shaw actually introduced Ferguson to the MMA world in 2007 as the head of the since-folded EliteXC organization. A former underground sensation who rose to fame thanks to his bareknuckle-fighting videos on YouTube, Ferguson won his first three MMA bouts, including the first-ever U.S.-network televised MMA headliner (against James Thompson at "EliteXC: Primetime"). Despite an eventual loss to Seth Petruzelli in the final major EliteXC show, UFC president Dana White took a gamble on "Kimbo" in 2009.

Ferguson was the featured fighter on a heavyweights-only 10th season of "The Ultimate Fighter," which shattered the reality series' ratings record. After an opening-round loss to eventual show champ Roy Nelson, Ferguson won his first official UFC fight with a lackluster decision victory over Houston Alexander at the show's live finale.

Surprisingly, though, he was dropped from the roster following a subsequent loss to Matt Mitrione at UFC 113.

Since his UFC release, Ferguson's representatives have hinted at possible pro-wrestling and boxing appearances, though they never materialized.

The Aug. 13 boxing match is his first competitive-sports endeavor since his 2010 UFC release.]

Ya me lo contaréis xD...
