Ani Bobby, patuloy pa rin ang kanilang pag-eensayo bago tumungo sa mas puspusan pang parte ng training camp bilang paghahanda para sa laban kay Keith Thurman Jr. sa darating na July 21 sa MGM Grand Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Para sa akin mga 88-89% na ang conditioning niya,” ani Bobby sa isang interbyu sa mansyon ni Manny sa Los Angeles. “Medyo malayo pa naman ang laban kaya ‘di pa todo-todo pa ang training.”

Aniya, kada umaga raw ay nagjo-jogging sila kasama ang kapatid at ang lupon ng mga supporters, trainers, at kung minsan, ilang miyembro ng international media sa Griffith Park.

Pagkatapos naman nito ay tutungo sila sa hapon papunta naman ng Wild Card Gym para ituloy ang buong araw na training.

Ang training camp ng eight-division world champion ay tatagal ng anim na linggo na nagsimula mula sa kanyang light training sa Pilipinas kamakailan.

Dagdag pa ni Bobby, mga strategy at technique na ang kanilang focus ngayon upang mahasa ang diskarte na magpapatumba sa undefeated na Amerikanong boxer.

Gayundin ang pagsasanay sa mga depensa na magbibigay proteksiyon mula sa mga atake ng kalaban.

“Meron tayong mga game plan na ginagawa para kay Thurman kase hindi rin basta-basta itong kalaban na ito. Napakalakas niya,” sambit pa ni Bobby. “Medyo iba rin ang style nito doon sa mga nakalaban na ni Manny. Ginagawa namin ang lahat para maproteksyunan ni Manny ang sarili niya para sa darating na laban.”

Tinukoy pa nito na kahit na mas bata ang makakalaban sa edad na 30-anyos, current champion at wala pang dungis ang record, kumpiyansa naman ang dati ring boxer na si Bobby sa magiging performance ng kanyang utol sa ring.

“Nakikita naman natin ang performance niya sa training, nakikita naman natin ‘yong galawan niya, ‘yong movemen niya napakabilis. Medyo mild lang muna ngayon kase malayo pa naman. Maintain lang natin ang strategy,” pagtatapat pa ng incoming congressman.

Sa kasalukuyan, may 61 na ring panalo ang Pinoy ring icon at 39 dito ay via knockout.

Sa kabilang dako ay may 22 knockouts mula sa 29 na panalo si Thurman.

Fury-Usyk world heavyweight unification fails to push through

The much-anticipated world heavyweight unification bout hit a major blow after Oleksandr Usyk’s manager Alexander Krassyuk said that it will not push through on April 29.

“No matter how much Usyk compromised, he was pushed for more,”  Krassyuk said on ESPN.

However, Tyson Fury answered back that it was Usyk to blame for the failure of the mega fight.

According to his promoter Frank Warren, the demand for a rematch clause of Usyk caused the breakdown of the fight.

“I convinced Tyson to take the rematch. Then we got into how the money will be split in the rematch. The rematch has become a sideshow. Why can’t this be overcome if Usyk wants the fight? All the splits were agreed. Who walks in first was agreed. If it’s a great fight then we will make the rematch,” Warren said in an interview with talkSPORT.

This was supposed to mark Fury’s return to boxing after initially retiring.

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?
