According to trainer Lewis Crocker, Paddy Donovan has no “minerals” to fight in the trenches

Published

In the middle of the discussion about the fight of Lewis Crocker this Saturday with Padda Donovan, co -coach of Crocker, Billy Nelson, resembles the night Alex Arthur lost an invincible record against Michael Gomez in 2003. This is an critical fight, not because Nelson trained Arthur at that time – he was “T – but more because Arthur discovered in Gomez an opponent, whom he did not understand, the one who showed Arthur Sport, from which Arthur had until then he was protected .

“I remember this fight,” says Nelson. “Alex left us by that time, but he was intimidated by Michael Gomez, 100 percent. He was intimidated from the moment he [Gomez] I got on the ring and put his head before the fight. His expression was: “You don’t have to do it. I am a star here. He was not used to this kind of reaction. “

Arthur, despite the fact that he is a great favorite before the fight, was finally intimidated by Gomez from the very beginning, before he was thrown out of misery in the fifth round. It was then one of the biggest doubts this year, certainly in Great Britain, and for Artur the most complex lessons.

As for why it happened, the opinion was divided. Some said that Gomez was simply inspired and fought for the fight of his life, while others suggested Artur, a golden boy from Scotch boxing, he was self -drawn or simply not equipped with the intensity and approach of Gomez.

Either way, this is not a scarce boxing story, the perspective is too deep. Indeed, it is this story of Nelson who expects his man, Lewis Crocker, to fight Paddy Donovan in Belfast on Saturday. Of course, there may be differences in the story about it, but he thinks that the result will still be the same.

“If you look at him [Donovan’s] He was resumed, he did not fight absolutely no one but Lewis Ritson, whom I trained, and was a distinguished lightweight, not a welterweight, “says Nelson. “Paddy also drew a comparison with Jose Felix [a Crocker opponent]. But Jose Felix was a really delicate weight that Lewis Crocker dismantled in four rounds. Paddy Donovan detained Ritson in nine. It was a tedious fight to watch. I was live there, watching it. Lewis had a destructive performance against a lighter guy, while Paddy, who thinks he struck more than Lewis, took nine rounds to pull Ritson from there. “

The question about power was a feature of the first press conference that announced Saturday’s fight. Donovan of Limerick said he was a bigger blow, and Crocker from Belfast also offered his case. Finally, without any real proof, this afternoon there was an impasse; agreement for disagreeing; A contract to wait and see.

“He [Crocker] He definitely has an advantage in power, “says Nelson. “I was stunned that he was even arguing about it. Interest may say that Paddy Donovan, but look at who he fought to get this percentage of knockout. There is no comparison in my mind. Lewis hits more and fought better opponents.

“He [Crocker] He also has experience on his side. He had six more fights than Paddy as a professional, but not only he fought with a better opposition than Paddy. I couldn’t call you Paddy Donovan’s opponent other than Ritson. I know for sure that Lewis Crocker is a more rounded professional boxer than Paddy Donovan.

“I think Paddy awaits the rude awakening in this fight, to be forthright. Andy Lee [Donovan’s coach] He is my good friend, but call him [Donovan] At this stage, there is a “vast generational”.

“I am not sitting here saying that Paddy Donovan is not a good warrior. Paddy Donovan Is A good warrior. But I think Lewis Crocker is better fighter.”

If the element of surprise was what in 2003 reached Alex Artur, Nelson expects to be a witness to something similar between Crocker, 20-0 (11) and Donovan, 14-0 (11), on Saturday. Considering what he thinks is an experience between two welterweight weight, he thinks, he thinks, that Donovan will be introduced to fresh feelings and fresh problems than Crocker.

“I know exactly how Paddy Donovan will fight,” says Nelson. “The best way to find out how Paddy fights while watching Andy Lee. He teaches him what he knows. But as a trainer you must adapt to the forceful and weakness of the warrior. You couldn’t take Mike Tyson and turn him into a boxer, right? You must work on his strengths and work on what you classify as his weaknesses.

“Paddy was never in trenches, and he is 100 percent in the trenches in this fight. We’ll see what he has. I don’t think he has minerals.

“Is it too early for Paddy? I think it is like that. “

Sources: Pacquiao ending the pension towards Barrio for the WBC belt

Published

on

Boxing Superstar Manny Pacquiao will end his almost four years of retirement, heading to Mario Barrios for the WBC Wytreight Championships on July 19 in Las Vegas, the sources confirmed ESPN on Thursday.

The fight will be available via PBC in Prime Video Pay-Per-View.

The 46 -year -old Pacquiao fought in August 2021, when he lost a unanimous decision against Jordenis Ugas to the WBA (Super) championship in welterweight. After losing, Pacquiao announced a pension on social media to focus primarily on a political career. But the first world champion in boxing boxing had an eye on the sport that made him home.

Rumors about his return have been circulating over the past year. In July 2024, Pacquiao competed in a boxing match with Kickboxer Rukya Anpo in Super Rizin 3. The name Pacquiao is related to the return fight from Barrios from the end of last year.

At least a weekly fight Canelo-Alvarez-William in Saudi Arabia, President of WBC Mauricio Sulaiman told the boxing king media The fact that Barrios was to defend the title against Pacquiao in the summer, and also noticed that Pacquiao had already been cleaned to compete by Nevada State Athletic Commission. WBC wrote the rules that state that the former champion may ask for a fight for the title after retiring.

“At that time, Mario Barrios will face Manny Pacquiao in July,” said Sulaiman. “It’s a huge fight.”

The first and only eight -member boxing champion is to be introduced to the Galeria of Boxing Sław next month. He is also during the very close Senate race in the Philippines, where he previously served as a senator in 2016-2022. According to Brunch Boxing, Pacquiao will not formally announce his return to boxing until the election of May 12. But all signs and sources indicate the announcement of Pacquiao.

Fighting with San Antonio, Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KO) recently fought against Abel Ramos based on the decision of Jake Paul with Mike Tyson. He won the WBC transient title in September 2023, when he developed Ugas and was raised to the full master in June 2024. After Terenka Crawford was appointed as a “master during a break” after he moved to 154 pounds towards Israil Madrymov. Only two Barrios’ losses came to Gervont Davis and Keith Thurman.

The event of cooperation will be a rematch between the unified Master Master, Sebastian Fund (22-1-1, 14 KO) and Tim Tziu (25-2, 18 KO). They both met earlier on March 30, 2024. The fund entered as a tiny -term deputy and won the divided decision in nervousness.

TGB currently has T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 19. But the Lady Gagi’s Mayhem Ball trip is promoted to 16, 18 and 19 July, which will probably take the fight to the neighboring MGM Grand Garden Arena, where Pacquiao Zadaat from State and won his first main world title against Lehlohonolo Ledwaba on June 23, 2001.

Bill Haney crashed on X in response to Jermalla Charlo, who said Rolando “Rolly” Romero to “wash” Devin Haney, as he did against Ryan Garcia last Friday, and then he will be “washed” I’m sorry with his career. In response to these words, Bill went to Tyrada, saying that the former world champion with two divisions Jermall wasted his career on marijuana and alcohol. He says that Devin earned more money and achieved more in his career than he did.

Self crust

Despite the victory, Haney (32-0, 15 KO) looked like a textbook example of an overworus, a warrior faded last Friday in the fight against Jose Ramirez in the Times Square in Fresh York. The performance was the worst of the whole event, which a lot said, because Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez also looked terribly destitute.

All Three broken millionaires I fought as if they were there only for payments. In the case of Haney, he has an excuse, because last year in April in April in April in April last year in April in April last year in April last year in April in April in April in April. This version of Garcia looked like he could even out with his shots.

These arrows took something out of Haney, leaving a broken shell, which ran around the ring against Ramirez all night. Bill can do nothing with Devin except directing him towards the fight with Kingra, and then maneuver him as he did to build his record. The way Haney looked against Jose last Friday is probably a indefinite situation. Bill is not a magician and there is no magic wand to restore him to the way he was a fight before Ryan.

“Jermall Charlo planted all his career in Bud and alcohol. Now he talks about 26 -year -old Devina Haney [N-word] named Charlo, “said Bill Haney XResponding to Jermalla Charlo, who said Rolando “Rolly” Romero to fight Devin Haney and ended his career.

Instead of throwing Jermalla, Bill should have been volunteered to let his son, Devin, challenge Rolly for his second WBA title. The money would be good and could prove that it is not on the verge of washing. It is doubtful that Bill would do it because thanks to the power of Rolly he would end what was for good.

Keyshawn Davis looks next to Edwin de los Santos, calling Turks Alalshikh to the broker with Teofimo Lopez after the racist explosion of the master

Keyshawn Davis is already looking next to his next opponent, Edwin de Los Santos, wanting Turks Alalshikh to start fighting with Teofimo Lopez. Airy master WBO Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KO) says he wants Place Teo in his place“After racist conditions, he used Crawford to call his call.

Davis, promoted by the highest rank, says that “PO” defeated De los Santos (16-2, 14 KO), wants Turks to fit him with Teofimo (23-1, 13 KO). It is unlikely that Turki would decide on this move, because Lopez and his dad, Teofimo Sr., would certainly veto this idea. They both want Jaron “Boots” Ennis to fight at 147. He is the one who would pay better than Keyshaw, who is not known because of his newborn career, and the highest rank of low -quality opposition fed him.

“Villain” Act

27 -year -old Teofimo seems to accept the personality of villains to create artificial interest in their career. He tried to play the role of a nice guy, but he didn’t give him anywhere. In addition, pliable fit and its irregular performances stopped him from gaining more popularity.

The Teofimo Nokaki disappeared in 135, disappeared from the time of reaching to 140 in 2022. From his six fights there is only from one warrior, Pedro Campa, from the time of moving to a slight Penwot weight three years ago. Fans such as knockout, and Lopez cannot deliver. The power is not at 140.

It is a mistake that Keyshawn looks next to his opponent, de los Santos, because this guy strikes him too strenuous to be seen as basic. Although he has not fought for two years and lost Shakur Stevenson in 2023, he is still newborn at the age of 26 and hits more than Keyshawn. It is not a lightweight welterweight as Keyshawn. De los Santos is a real 135-pound and not killing to bring weight to have an advantage over smaller fighters.

Keyshawn should then fight Andy Cruz, instead of chasing the unattainable fight with Teofimo. The Cuban Olympic gold medalist 2020, Cruz, defeated Keyshawna four times in amateurs and has a 4-0 record against him. This makes Davis look afraid that he will not accept Cruz’s repeated challenges.
