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

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. “

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.

Teofimo Lopez Jr. And his father Teo Sr., they both threw the name of Terenka Crawford during training. Lopez Master WBO Lopez (22-0, 13 KO) has repeatedly used the racist term when he refers to Crawford, asking where he is. Teofimo sr. He called Crawford “b ****” for not agreeing to fight his son.

Crawford showed zero interest in the fight against Teofimo, because there is no money in this fight. Lopez is not an attraction of PPV. Terenka receives reported $ 100 million for the fight against Canelo Alvarez on September 12. If he wins, he can get a similar payment in a rematch.

Recent Styl Shakur style

Lopez sr. He says that now they want to face IBF and WBA welterweight champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis. It is doubtful whether they will get this fight. Teofimo looked terrible last Friday, using his modern defense style similar to Shakur Stevenson to move around the ring at Turki Alalshikh in Times Square.

Lopez’s performance was almost as tedious as Devina Haney. It was just a movement, showboating and havoc of blows. It was a junk style and he did nothing to entertain a miniature, carefully selected VIP crowd. Teofimo won the 12-round fight with a unanimous decision of the results 116-112, 116-112 and 118-110.

This performance showed that he does not belong to anyone better than this warrior level. What’s more, Teofimo is not a PPV material with his style of combat in the style of Shakur, which he accepted, because fans want to play for their money and not feel cheated after watching the whole night of running.

Father-Syn Tyrad

Teofimo Lopez SR: “We want to keep shoes. We want to be three times linear. A friend also Crawford. This mother, fuck, did it at the age of 36. My son did it at the age of 25,” said Lopez Sr. Warrior. “I hate him or love, we are in books, honey. He is already Hall of Famer. He could lose 100 fights and still be a Hall of Famer.

“Crawford just did what my son did at the age of 25. Heaven is a limit. We still got 12, 13, 14 years elderly. It’s b **** Crawford doesn’t want to fight with us. He is ab ****.”

Teofimo Lopez Jr: “Where is it [N-word] On? Where it is [N-word] On?”

Lopez SR: “I saw him [Crawford] Legs in your last fight. They *** is gone. I’m just trying to pay. Let him start stabbing Canelo. It will be eliminated like Amir Khan. I guarantee you this. All fools who think Crawford will win. Don’t you have a mind? This boy has no legs. He looked like *** in his last fight [ against Israil Madrimov]. We made Barboza look like nothing, and he came from three great fights. “
