Version: Manny Pacquiao – end of legend

Published

Manny Pacquiao

The eighth loss of his career did not seem like the other seven. Manny Pacquaio He could justify, explain and then wipe these defeats from his mind. Aberrations, each of them. Injury. Destitute preparation. Imprudence. Bad rating. The next time he entered the ring, he knew he could fix it. But the opposite was suffering from his hands Yordenis Ugas Over 12 rounds will be much more hard for the antique master. It was not the most destructive or the most criminal, nor was it the widest deficit he suffered on the results cards. However, he came with something that even Pacquiao will have difficulty refreshing: full stop.

At the age of 42 and after a decade of ups, falls, collisions and triumphs, the descent from Pacquiao, he suggested for the first time when he was involved with Shane Mosley in MGM Grand in 2011, he certainly reached the end of a few hundred meters away at the T-Mobile arena. “In the future you may not see how Manny Pacquiao is fighting in the ring,” he said after two results 116-112 and one of 115-113 (Boxing news Acquiring him 117-111) were announced for an impressive benefit of a Cuban in Las Vegas. “This is boxing. I had difficulties in the adjustment of the ring. My legs were tight, but I did my best.”

Realizing that he did his best, that he trained carefully and was as proficient as possible, he will tell Konitu, everything he must know about the watch that he stuck in us all. From this point it only moves faster.

Ugas’s victory will be marked as nervousness, but he was a live dog. Promoted from a failed card, when Errol Spence Jnr withdrew from an eye injury 10 days earlier, the 35-year-old was perhaps the most high, low delayed substitute, since Vitali Klitschko almost shocked the world champion in heavyweight Lennox Lewis in 2003. Even in the victory, Lewis recognized the same arrest that Pacquiao now. And fans of “Pac-Man”-also sport-to be grateful that it was Ugas, welterweight weight No. 4, not Spence, No. 1, providing it.

In the end, the history of boxing is littered with too many Rabacks aging: Muhammad Ali beaten by Larry Holmes and Trevor Berbick; William Joppy Thrashing Roberto Duran; Jack Johnson plays James J. Jeffries; The depressing fall of Mike Tyson against Kevin McBride; Joe Smith Jnr withdrew from Bernard Hopkins, and 14 years ago Pacquiao himself was afraid of the remains of Oscar de la Hoya. It was not so shocking, but it can be argued that it was equally revealing.

Although more lines are now engraved in his face, and his skin hangs a bit looser, Pacquiao at first glance looked like Pacquiao. Smiling his irresistible smile and showing the figure, which usually looked like a battle, he jumped to the ring on his eminent calves beating socks. But in the middle of the hole, these antique legs made mistakes, emphasizing that something was wrong. Square-on Pacquiao, forced to send as a result of the wrong feet, Pacquiao was compact with his right hand when Ugas cleverly maintained his position in the middle ring. Underdog was highlighting the opponent. This is obviously nothing up-to-date for Manny, but it was obvious that he couldn’t get inside as it used to be. The Kuban peak was shot, his defense was tight. After four rounds, in which the case of winning Pacquiao could only be spent in one of them, his most die -hard fans among 17,000 those present ignored the warning signs.

However, his trainer Freddie Roach tried to act on them. Calling to throw more combinations before the fifth, Pacquaio obediently tried to follow the instructions. Four blows were blocked by Ugasa and threw one of their own. The right hook – just as effective as his straightforward – beat manny and shook him back. Ugas remained composed, his leading hand was busy and almost always related to the goal. Pacquiao ran back, bribed the right glove after swelling, which grew around the same eye, and went again.

Pacquiao could handle his own activity, but he had no ideas. He did what he always did – automating forward, throwing blows – but nothing worked as it used to be. He never looked so indigent in a clamorous fight.

Meanwhile, Ugas was ecstatic to stay in his pocket, using clever leg work and rarely allowing defense. The possibility of using his torn enemy is still coming. Even in the nine, when Pacquiao threatened to get to the top, Ugas defeated his valued rival with two right hands to close the session.

Pacquiao had to win the last three sessions to have a chance at all. But the soles, both due to the effectiveness of the game of coach Ismael Salas and the ineffectiveness of his opponent, probably took them all. Finally, under the right eye, Pacquiao was a cut, another above his left. However, he never stopped trying to find an elusive opening and gave his best to the last bell. Ugasa’s features were also swollen – the same of his own fists, which were locked in his temple when they blocked Pacquiao’s blows when they actually lost.

“I’m sorry,” said Pacquiao, “I lost the fight.”

It does not require an apology from the greatest warrior of his era. He gave this competition and everything he could. It was inevitable that the day would come when so little left.

WBA WAWETREIGHT was detained by UGA and the judge was Russell Mora.

Undercard
In an stimulating duel and a nod to the future, a juvenile Philippine Mark Will – who adored Pacquiao for a long time before he became his stablema – he got up from the floor in the fifth round to knock out Julio Ceja in 10th. The competition in a featherweight began quickly, when Magsayo, also trained by Roach, shot knocking down in the first three minutes. But his lack of experience cost him when he was exhausting in a exhausting fight. He fell on the fifth with a wild blow to the body, Magsayo did extremely well before he landed with a massive right hand in 10th This is basically over. The next law sent a ceja-leading 86-83 (twice) and 87-82-down for the full number of judge Kenny Bayless.

Elsewhere both Robert Guerrero AND Victor Ortiz They gave their best, but not under the impression of an stimulating 10-runder. The first one, at the age of 38, proved that there was a little more left when he won close, but a unanimous 10-round decision. The results were 96-94 (three times).

10 times WBC changed the game

Published

on

Vitali Klitschko WBC

  1. Reduction of 15-order
    After the death of Deuk Koo Kim during the fight with Ray Mancini in 1983, WBC issued a principle that stated that the maximum distance for the fight for the championship would be 12 rounds.
  2. I weigh at least 24 hours earlier
    Due to the fears of weakening of the boxers due to the weight production process, and then the fight on the same day as the indicator, the day before the introduction of defects.
  3. Intermediate weight classes
    Sport once had only eight classes, but now it has 17 (well, 18, if you include the producing weight). WBC introduced several novel divisions, recently in weight, super-medium weight and circuitous weight.
  4. Gloves without your thumbs
    In 1983, Everlast created the first thumb glove and was accepted by WBC due to fears related to eye injuries associated with the “thumb”. Today, the thumb is attached.
  5. Doping tests
    WBC were one of the first to enforce doping tests after the fight, and in 2016 introduced their immaculate boxing program, which required the fighters to want to be classified to register in random tests.
  6. Retired
    Masters who retire, still having the title of WBC, are usually awarded with the status of a “retired”, which means that if they return, they will automatically get a shot to the current master. Vitali Klitschko [above] He started it in 2008, when he returned to defeat Samuel Piotr.
  7. Four ropes
    It often happened that boxing rings have only three ropes, but WBC made it obligatory for all rings to put up the championships that consist of four.
  8. Diamond Championships
    A bit nonsense championship that appears in the “historical” battle in the division. Manny Pacquiao won the first welterweight division when he defeated Miguel Cotto in 2009.
  9. WBC Cares
    The organization performs a significant charity work with WBC Cares, which since founded in 2006 has over 160 volunteers around the world (their British branch is managed by Scott Welch).
  10. Franchise championship
    The franchise championships, which were introduced with great mockery in 2019, are different than diamond, silver, transient titles and allows masters to move between divisions, ignoring mandatory obligations and doing almost what they like. Probably it’s best not to start with this …

The Green Man: The Pub/Boxing Gym, which attracted Tommy Farr, David Bowie and more

Tommy Farr

Blackheath-Urocza, a wealthy, relatively deciduous part of the south-eastern London-does not have obvious boxing ties. From sport, he is best known as a starting point in the London marathon and for the apartment of the world’s oldest open rugby club. But return 60 to 90 years, and the surrounding area had a prosperous boxing gym, popular among the best characters of this sport.

The green man was a pub on Blackheath Hill with boxeria above him. He shot in importance as a boxing plant in 1937, when two world warriors, Great Britain Tommy Farr And America Petey Sarron decided to train there. The British weighty title Farr was preparing for Showdown on April 15 with Max Baer, ​​who would ultimately lead him to a heavyweight title defining the career with Joe Louis four months later. The prevailing champion of the world featherweight, Sarron, was preparing to fight with the same Survivist-first in this country-a former British Lightweight King Harry Mizler.

At the beginning of April Boxing news The columnist “The Watcher” visited Green Man Gym, and then using the boxing manager Walter Daya and the seriously striking seafarer Jim Lawlor to see Train Farr and Sarron. The banner above the door proclaiming “Tommy Farr and Petey Sarron Tround here” told him that he was in the right place. However, he arrived too overdue to see how the warriors were working and said that Farr was changing after his session.

“Tommy welcomed me warmly when I regretted that I was too overdue. Jim Lawlor was at hand and he welcomed me a lot, invited me to a cup of tea, and I was very worried about showing me. The wardrobe was equipped with a shower bath, rubbing the table and everything. Large windows overlooked Blackheath and said that here was the perfect place to prepare here. to the competition, because such a wonderful open space – and it could be high – and it could be up – and it could be up.

“Tommy finished the dressing, and then I was taken over to junior high school. A full -size and properly staged ring was erected in a roomy and well -lit room, while ordinary amenities necessary for training had a desire for training. The place was vast enough to issue the program, and Lawlor told me that they introduced several amateur shows.

“The presence of Tommy Farr and Petey Sarron will undoubtedly bring them a lot of publicity and recommendations, because in addition to the fact that the British champion was very enthusiastically focused on it, later I learned from Jimmy Erwin, the world champion manager that he was looking at all training exercises in the south of England, not finding a place that suited him better.”

In 1939, Jock McAVoy trained at Green Man-Swoim with his first training in London-his last fight with Len Harvey’s rival, in a program that set a attendance record in Great Britain over 90,000. Seventeen years later the Green Man’s gym was still busy when Dick Richardson prepared for his clash of December 1956 Nino Valdes.

In the 1960s, the pub became a popular place of music where Paul Simon, Manfred Mann, Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott performed. In 1963, 16-year-old David Bowie played there with his first professional band The Konrads. At this memorable concert of Bowie, until then, the saxophonist entered as the main singer, when the band’s frontman cut his foot on a broken glass in the cloakroom in a pub. Then Bowie took the position of the singer. Unfortunately, for sentimental fans of boxing or music, in 1970 a green man was demolished. Today, there is an indefinite block of flats in its place.

Mexican warriors Barrera and Morales ended their epic trilogy in a properly urgent style, creating another unforgettable war.
