Canelo Alvarez mas pinapaburan ng mga eksperto, ex-champs vs Sergey Kovalev

Published

Mas pinapaburan umano ng ilang mga eksperto si Saul “Canelo” Alvarez sa kanyang unang light heavyweight fight kontra kay WBO champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev sa darating na November 2 na gaganapin sa T-Mobile Arena sa Las Vegas.

Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataon na lumaban si Alvarez sa ibang debisyon.


Noong 2017, natapat si Alvarez kay Gennady “GGG” Golovkin na nauwi sa draw at ang kanyang huling laban kay Rocky Fielding noong Disyembre sa super middleweight na natapos naman sa tatlong rounds dahil sa walang humpay na body shots mula sa Mexican superstar.

Si Alvarez ay may professional record na 52 wins, 35 dito ay via knockouts at tatlong talo.

Kilala si Alvarez sa kanyang pagiging dominante sa middleweight sa pamamagitan ng kanyang malalakas na bodyshot at bilis ng counterpunching.

Ngunit, kakailanganin ni Alvarez na dagdagan ang pwersa ng kanyang mga suntok sapagkat dumagdag siya ng mas mabigat na timbang.

Sa 34 professional wins naman ni Kovalev, 29 dito ang via knockouts kaya siya ay tinaguriang “Krusher.”

Sinasabing sana’y si Kovalev na tumanggap ng mga suntok upang makalapit sa kanyang mga kalaban at magbitaw din ng mabibigat na suntok.

Naniniwala naman si Andre Ward na sa mga unang rounds lang mahihigitan ni Kovalev si Alvarez.

Hindi rin daw nito kakayanin ang bodyshots na bibitawan ni Alvarez.

Pumabor si Ward na mananalo at lalamang si Alvarez sa 11th o kaya sa 12th round.

Sinabi naman ni Oscar de La Hoya, hindi magiging madali ang laban sapagkat karamihan sa panalo ni Kovalev ay sa pamamagitan ng knockout.

Aniya, Dela Hoya na promoter din ni Canelo, kilala ang kanyang laga sa paghanap ng mga bagong hamon at subukan ang kanyang sarili sa kahit sinong kalaban.

Francis Nganou vs. Deontay Wilder IS HAPPENING!!?

An all-time explosive heavyweight boxing match is nearing its deal as UFC heavyweight
world champion Francis Nganou revealed that he is closing in to a Deontay Wilder
boxing match!
The Cameroonian left the MMA scene after a failed contract negotiations and chose a
boxing switch.
He has been very vocal about it and has his eyes on Anthony Joshua and Deontay
Wilder, but the latter is in deeper talks with him.
“Yes, we have had the conversation and at this moment, we’re more closer than with
anybody else,” he said in MMA Hour.
Nganou also predicted a bold on if the fight come into fruition.
“I think somebody will take somebody’s head off. I would just try [for it] not to be mine. I
think that’s probably what’s going to happen.”
Ngannou started boxing training at the age of 22, against his family’s initial opposition.
Ngannou stopped working out after a year of training because of an illness. He worked
a variety of odd jobs to make ends meet until deciding to move to Paris, France, at the
age of 26 in order to pursue a career in boxing. He was imprisoned for two months in
Spain for trespassing after arriving in Europe, though. Ngannou arrived in Paris without
any money, friends, or a place to stay. He first encountered Francis Carmont, who
introduced him to Fernand Lopez and the MMA factory, after he had spent time
homeless on the streets of Paris.
Ngannou, an admirer of Mike Tyson, first wanted to learn how to box; however, Lopez
recognized his potential in MMA and persuaded him to give MMA a try. Ngannou’s MMA
career was launched when Lopez handed him some MMA equipment and free use of
the facility to train and sleep.
With such background, Ngannou will finally has his chance to fight for the sport he first
loved. Will he be able to make a resounding boxing debut or will Deontay “the Bronze
Boomer” will welcome him in the sport in a brutal way he only know how?
