Miyo Yoshida

Leaving her controversial loss according to the decision on the modern international boxing federation (IBF) of the world champion in weight, Shurretta Metcalf (14-4-1, 2 KO) in October, three times, two-level world champion Miyo Yoshida (17-5) Return to the ring On February 1 against the Srowoksia Super Bantamweight Beata Dudek (5-5, 4 KO).

Yoshida vs. Dudek is a planned 8-round fight on the card presented by the Prime Time Promotions at the Prudential Center in Newark, Novel Jersey.

COMPUBODOKS statistics for Yoshida vs. Metcalf 2 in October last year was heavily supported by Yoshida, which lost the title of World World World IBF, due to the dubious results of the judge 99-91 (Robin Taylor), Robert Perez (97-93) and Max Deluca (96-94).

According to Compubox, Yoshida ended the fight for 96-64 in general, 49-17 in JABS, 30-16 in body blows and 8-0-2 in a total round.

Yoshida’s master defense maintained the opponent at a distance, which meant that the enormous percentage of Metcalf blows is not associated with the connection, hitting only the air.

In general, Yoshida landed an amazingly 50 % more blows (96-64) than Metcalf, in addition to a much higher percentage of accuracy, almost three times higher than 22 % than the opponent’s 9 %.

The head of Yoshida, a lawyer based in Novel York Keith Sullivan, appealed to IBF, asking for an immediate rematch. IBF reviewed the legal report of Sullivan and support of statistical data, and rarely undertook to maintain Yoshida in ranking No. 1 and ordering her mandatory pretender Metcalf, demanding Metcalf to defend her crown against Yoshid.

“I am very grateful to IBF and my manager, Mr. Sullivan,” said Yoshida about her current status. “Looking back at the last match, I am terrified of the results of scoring, especially 99-91. We had a great game plan to take care of the height and achieve the advantage of my opponent, and the judges were fed for perfect performance. “

The main difference between her last and upcoming fights is her mental approach to win so clearly that everyone will agree when her hand will be raised in victory. Yoshida did not care about the risk of her compared to Metcalf, taking this fight with Dudek, who fights Hungary.

“Last year,” she explained, “I fought only one match. There was a gap between the matches. To be in the best condition, I want to fight consistently and I will definitely be ready to win this match.

“My opponent (Dudek) is one class higher and at the same height as Metcalf. So I wanted this fight for these reasons, a bigger and higher opponent to prepare me for a re -match. Dudek is an opponent who cannot be appreciated. I trained tough to keep my spirits. I started fighting with fly weight and this will be my first fight for 121 pounds, but I prepared for it. “

“Miyo had a great camp. He will make a huge show of his skills and power of boxing. Concentration and commitment to the training are inspiring, “noted her main coach Jimmy Sosa, who trains her with her brother Aurelino and a fitness coach, Sergiy Korchyly.

“Taking this fight, Miyo risks the loss of the title, but she was adamant, she wanted to be busy and wanted a higher, heavier and stronger opponent,” added manager Miyo Keith Sullivan. “I was very pleased with the IBF decision. I put it within 48 hours of the decision. God willing, Miyo emerges victorious on Saturday, and then the title shot is next. “
