Leonard on Pacquiao: “get used to hitting”
Published
4 weeks agoon

Sugar Ray Leonard says that in order for manny Pacquiao to return from his five -year pension, he must get used to hitting and strenuous training at a high level for a shot against Master WBC Mario Barrios on July 19.
Return of Leonard Vs. Manny’s
Sweet Ray recalls that he has retired for five years and returned successfully. However, Sugar Ray was only 30 years elderly when he returned. Pacquiao 46 will be much more challenging to do what Leonard did because of his age and the whole ring of a long career.
“When I came back, I didn’t realize that five years have passed. You must get used to being hit. You have to get used to training so strenuous at this level,” said Sugar Ray Leonard, when to do it Fight Hub tvAsked about his thoughts about Manny Pacquiao returning about 46 after five years of leaving the ring.
The opponent that Leonard fought the stern in the ring for five years from 1982 to April 6, 1987 was Marvin Hagler and defeated him by a 12-round decision. Hagler wanted him to be 15 rounds, which would favor him.
“It’s more psychological than physical. You must have a heart, this feeling. And you know what? Do I have to question it? No. Maybe he did it. Maybe he knows what to do. It’s just how you feel. We don’t think how stupid it is. Warriors don’t think in this way for the majority,” Leonard said, speaking of older sames after they were retired.
In the case of Pacquiao it will also be physical, because he is 46 years elderly, and he looked at him in the last fight with Jordenis Ugas on August 21, 2021. He lost this fight with a unanimous decision. You have to lose a lot of physical skills that he showed in this fight even at the great camp of Pacquiao. He must hope that Barrios is lacking in talent to apply it.
“I would like to have, but on the other hand you couldn’t change my mind. I was ready for this ring. Not 100%. I would say it. I was not 100% prepared. But I did what I felt I had to do,” said Leonard.
When Sugar Ray fought, he was fearless, accepting killers such as Marvin Hagler, Danny Lalonde, Wilfred Benitez, Roberto Duran and Tommy Hearns. At the end of Leonardo’s career, he took prolonged breaks from the ring. If he was still fighting, he would enjoy even greater success, but he earned so much money.
Leonard on Crawford vs. Canelo
“This is a huge difference,” said Leonard, when asked about his thoughts about Terenka Crawford up from 154 to 168, to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his unquestionable championships with a super medium weight on September 13. “When I fought with Donny Lalonde, every time he hit me, he hurt me to some extent. He didn’t knock me down, but he hurt me to do it.”
When Leonard fought with the heavyweight champion WBC Donny Lalonde on November 7, 1988, he left a 19-month release, fighting with a larger, younger and stronger guy. One of the advantages that Sugar Ray had was that Lalonde agreed to come to 168 from WBC Super Middle WBC and 175-pounds of Donny on the line. Lalonde looked exhausted during weighing and could affect the result.
“It can do it. There is no doubt about it. That’s true [Canelo being too big for Crawford]But there is always a way to win – said Leonard.
As Leonard notes, there is a way for a smaller Crawford to win if he can find him against Alvarez. He must fight with Sharp and avoid getting into a fire with a larger, naturally stronger Canelo.
Crawford looked clearly slower in his last fight, moving to 154 after a year outside the ring, to challenge Israil Madrimov for his title WBA Junior Middle weight. Now, another year outside the ring, Crawford increases by 14 pounds to challenge Canelo in 168.
He will be slower, more Hitter, and he will have to bother Alvarez to try to win. Can he do this? Maybe. Canelo looked elderly and tired during the last fight with William Scull on May 3.

Coach Abel Sanchez predicts that Canelo Alvarez will eliminate or dominate Teunska Crawford

Canelo Alvarez will attack the arms and arms of Terenka Crawford, which will slowly exploit him in the fight on September 13 in Las Vegas. Coach Abel Sanchez says that Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) will “feel” arms and shoulders. They will not avoid them, as in the case of head shots.
Crawford’s challenge
Sanchez believes that a two-level jump in the amount of 38-year-old Crawford will be too much for him, and will be eliminated or lost a wide decision on the unquestioned master of the super medium weight Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO).
Reasons why Crawford fights with Canelo
- Heritage
- Financial
- History
- Fans demand
“He just throws bombs, not taking care of what they are doing to him. He has a great defense,” said coach Abel Sanchez Round of the eighth boxing, TalkinG o Canelo Alvarez for the fight against Terenka Crawford. “Unfortunately, his feet do not move as well as he would move them, but its upper body is simply unbelievable.”
Crawford will try to hurt Canelo from the outside and spend it with single arrows. He will not fight him, as he did against Israil Madrimov, because Alvarez strikes too challenging.
Sanchez predicts the victory of Canelo
“He slides very well. He has great hands. He parrules very well and huge shots landed,” said Sanchez about Canelo. “So many may not land, but there are great shots that hurt. So I think Canelo stops him or finally a wide decision, and his corner must think about Crawford’s safety and health.”
Canelo’s endurance is his real problem because he is going too early in his fights and distributes round episodes. Crawford can be banking on this subject.
“At the beginning, the first shots are a shock. This is a cumulative effect. Canelo will hit him in his arms, as if he had never been hit before,” said Sanchez. “You remember. You remember Bivol with Beterbaiev, with the way he was hit. Okay, these guys were the same weight, but now you are talking about two different weight divisions.”
The weight will be significant, because Terenka must enter two weight classes, size and work on its power.
“When Canelo begins to hit him in his arms and shoulders, Crawford feels it. He is a great warrior, but that’s why we have divisions on the scale. Bob Foster was a great warrior until he moved.
“I advise against sparring in the gym so that people hit their heads. I want them to hit the body, hit their arms. I want them to hit their chest. I advise against it because there will be a lot of time,” said Abel.

Is Andy Cruz too early for the lightweight king Ibf Raymond Muratalla? Cuban star banks on amateur experiences

Andy Cruz claims that she is ready to challenge, Raymond Muratalli, Raymond Muratalli, after his belt, after his technical knockout Hironori Mishiro in the fifth round last Saturday night.

Amateur pedigree: Cruza’s advantage
Some fans are wondering if Cruz (6-0, 3 KO) has sufficient experience to challenge the world title after only two years in professionals. Cruz says that his amateur career and Olympic experience are enough to face Muratalli (23-0, 17 KO).
Cruza promoter, Eddie Hearn, is not sure if Muratalli’s next challenge, because the highest rank warrior can take a voluntary defense before he defends himself. It will depend on IBF, how quickly the fight will take place, but there is a chance that it may take up to a year.
“Of course, I was very quickly moved in terms of professional game. I had a very significant amateur pedigree, which allowed me to really develop,” said Andy Cruz during Press conference after the fight On the last Saturday night, asked if he thinks he is ready to challenge the lightweight IBF title with less than 10 fights as a professional.
Thanks to the long amateur career and Olympic career, Cruza would not be pointless to adopt a tardy approach to their professional career, like many fighters who did not have many amateur experiences.
Cruz Olympic experience
“I fought at the Olympic Games. I also fought at the world championship level. I feel like I was completely ready for the next step and whatever comes,” said Cruz. “I always believe that I can do a little more there. So I wouldn’t give myself 10 tonight. I would probably say that it was eight,” said Andy, asked what assessment he gave him. “
Muratalla has been a professional for nine years and faced Tevin Farmer and Zaur Abdullaev. He looked good in both fights. It is not known how many muratalla fights he had as an amateur, but you can safely say that there is not near the number that Cruz had. He ended his amateur career with a record of 140-9.
“With every fight you meet, it’s about other challenges, but I’m ready for any challenges that will come in my way. I came here to show what I am made of and show that I am ready to go to the next level. I think I did that I did,” Cruz said.
It is a pity that Andy did not fight a better opponent than Mishiro, because he was not a test for him. There are many better contenders in the lightweight division, but their promoters would not be joyful to let them face the warrior as talented as Cruz.
For example, it is unlikely that the highest rank will allow 21-year-old Abdullah Mason near Cruz, because he is not ready for this kind of warrior, and maybe he will never be.

Teofimo Lopez supports the call of Turki Alalshikh: why warriors must prioritize to act as a result of seasonal events in Riyadh

Teofimo Lopez agrees with the Turk’s position Alalshikha that he wants the warriors to throw more blows during the Riyadh season. Lopez indicates that there is a difference between warriors who are running.
Lopez agrees with Alalshikh
Teofimo states that Turki wants the fighters who box the blows in the middle to have at least some action for some time. It is not clear whether Alalshikh also values this style, but the fighters who box and move are almost so monotonous to observe pure removals.
It’s okay if such fighters are buried in the preliminates, where fans do not see them. In the case of the main cards, this is essential Just Fighters from the whole activity with genial fans were included, especially if it is a Pay-Per-View event.
This means that some of the more significant fighters in sport must be omitted from the future Turka cards, if the events are fun and meet its requirements. Hardcore fans are aware of who the monotonous fighters are. On the Times Square card on May 2 there was a couple and one noteworthy event on February 22 with a manual problem.
“There is a difference. There is boxing, and then it runs. I think that what he really tries to say in these words. He just wants guys to box and throw blows inside. Be busy,” said Teofimo Lopez to The the media About Turki Alalshikh, saying that he is no longer ready to finance boxing matches in which one warrior is not addictive.
Teofimo does not say that he was part of the non-engaging runners “Tom and Jerry”, who broke the Times Square event in May last year. . Shakur style The fact that Teo used in this fight was a thorough copy of Shakur Stevenson’s style. Watching was so terrible.
Teofimo had a three -stage withdrawal, which Shakur uses PAT, as if he was studying him during a training camp, and repeated an true copy to fight Arnold Barbozy Jr. Devina Haney, he was by far the most monotonous, but Teofimo was close to the second.
Focus seasonal entertainment riyadh
“You have to be offensive at the same time. You can’t win the fighting, just moving and having a low number of blows. [William] Scull against Canelo. It will not be elated with people, and this will not show his country, the government, his prince and tiny, as if we are here to support this sport. So this is our part and our duty to do what he would like – said Lopez.
If I were Turks, I would have a burst, watching what Lopez and Haney did. These guys received Gazillions and did not provide value for all this money. I am surprised that Turks did not outlined them from the list of Riyadh season permanently. If Teo and Haney run away once, they will do it again. How can Alalshikh trust them to be useful?
