Both are northeastern fighters; Rodriguez from Massachusetts and Escalera from New Jersey, so plenty of supporters ought to be in the home. The fighters not all that well matched. Rodriguez has an substantial novice profession. Even though Escalera has twelve knockouts in his thirteen fights, his opponents weren’t a lot of a problem. He’s only fought 39 expert rounds of boxing at age 27. Nevertheless, he is really a big brawling puncher and any individual could get fortunate (see Julio Caesar Chavez Jr., round twelve on September 15).

The co-feature about the show is Luis Del Valle (16-0, 11 KOs) vs . the veteran Vic Darchinyan (37-5-1-, 27 KOs) in a 10-round super bantamweight fight.

All the fighters created weight, all mentioned the proper factors at their reports meeting about coaching hard, getting thrilled regarding their fights, and putting on a great display. They are lucky Here Arrives Honey Boo Boo is not on or I may well be watching by means of DVR delay. Nevertheless, anytime Max Kellerman and Roy Jones Jr. are about entertaining me with their discussion, I’m willing to verify it out.

Bienvenido a Miami, Bradley: Timothy Bradley Jr. will not get his rematch with Manny Pacquiao, but Top Rank promoter Bob Arum declared that Bradley will headline a card on Saturday, December fifteen at Marlins Park in Miami, the first boxing card ever held there. Arum states the stadium will keep the ring in the baseball infield and be configured for amongst 20,000 and twenty five,000 supporters.

The opponent hasn’t been called. Arum promised “a top welterweight” and reportedly informed Yahoo! Sports activities it might be previous champion Andre Berto. But Chris Mannix of Sports activities Illustrated reports that Berto (28-1-0, 22 KOS) is close to finalizing a deal to battle Cornelius Bundrage on HBO November 24 in a junior middleweight title bout. It’s been rough for Berto lately. He lost to Victor Ortiz in Apri 2011, and was set to get a rematch until he tested good for steroids and was dropped from your bout. That didn’t operate out too well for Ortiz, possibly; swap Josesito Lopez broke Ortiz’ jaw and won himself the chance to fight Canelo Alvarez two weeks in the past.

Arum mentioned he will even feature Cuban fighters like WBA super bantamweight champion Guiermo Rigondeaux.

Pacquiao declined the alternative to get a rematch with Bradley in favor of the fourth fight with Juan Manuel Marquez Jr. Tickets went on sale Friday along with a documented 10,000 tickets have already been sold.

She's just twenty many years old, enthusiastic and eager. Whilst Munoz is expected to gain, it’s heading to be an action packed, exciting fight. Let the ladies show you what they are able to do.

Conscious that so considerably is at stake after they face each other for that fourth time in the MGM Grand in Las vegas on December 8, "Fighter of the Decade" Manny Pacquiao and Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez have begun coaching early.

A achievable multi-million greenback showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr will hinge on regardless of whether Pacquiao can defeat Marquez almost as convincingly as Mayweather did in scoring a lopsided twelve round unanimous choice more than the Mexican who needed to go up in weight to generate the battle.

Pacquiao may also must shut Marquez up over his persistent claims he won their three earlier fights but was robbed from the judges whilst he asked for the Nevada State Athletic Commission to appoint a single decide from Mexico, a single from the Philippines as well as a 3rd non-Nevada judge.

Pacquiao who doesn't usually begin education almost ten weeks before a fight was in the health club of longtime buddy and beginner boxing expert from Common Santos City, Ray Golingan on whose weekly novice cards Pacquiao fought often.

Pacquiao labored about the hefty bag, the velocity ball and also the punch-mitts with Filipino trainer and childhood Restituto "Buboy" Fernandez as well as went through his physical conditioning program after jogging.

Boxing writer Gabriel Cordero within a report on boxingscene.com said Marquez has began his coaching camp this week at the Romanza Fitness center with Corridor of Fame trainer Nacho Beristain and his group. His goal to is always to have more velocity to look for and go after Pacquiao and win convincingly. Marquez is also looking to deliver Pacquiao to the canvas no less than as soon as through the fight. If he does it is going to be the initial time even though Pacquiao, then again, dropped Marquez 3 instances within the opening round of their very first battle and once in the second which the Filipino won by a majority selection.

Beristain mentioned “This time we'll function placing considerably emphasis on velocity. We seek out to keep the tempo with the battle and find out the chance to place Pacquiao on the canvas and reap the benefits of that circumstance. I am aware how challenging the fight will likely be. Pacquiao can be a strong fighter.”

Marquez stated, “I’ll be coming using a large amount of preparation and confidence. The purpose is always to try to gain the battle by knockout. Two variables accompany me: Intelligence along with the experience.”

Juan Manuel Marquez doesn’t see himself like a 39-year-old man who is in the twilight of the Corridor of Fame profession.

“There is actually a biological age and (there is a ) chronological (age),” Marquez informed the Mexican mass media throughout a private operate recently as he primes himself up to get a fouirth showdown with Manny Pacquiao on Dec. 8 in Las vegas.

Marquez is so looking forward towards the Pacquiao assembly that he is gunning for an end result that will not need the scoresheets from the 3 judges.

“I am searching for a knockout and I'm not thinking about a choice,” said Marquez, whose 1st battle with Pacquiao finished on a split draw and the next two going the Filipino’s way despite him standing his ground and providing his fancied foe a hell of a time.

Each fighters have actually started to report for instruction with Marquez utilizing old college methods, which includes wood-chopping, and Pacquiao taking part in volleyball and displaying up for mild workout generally Santos Town.

Pacquiao’s long-time instruction assistant Buboy Fernandez is reviewing Marquez’s fights on video and it has place unique emphasis around the 3rd battle that Pacquiao won by majority decision.

“I am looking at the way Marquez was stepping on Manny’s foot,” stated Fernandez. “He did it on purpose although it really is part of the game so we'll try to avoid this within the fourth fight.”

Fernandez noted that Marquez was able to catch Pacquiao when it happened.

Nevertheless, Fernandez believes there won’t be a fifth battle.

“We’ll get him (Marquez) this time,” extra Fernandez.

MANILA(PNA)- Initial, Group Pacquiao did absent with pitching camp in Baguio Town, a venue that offered the eight-division belt-owner Manny Pacquiao with higher altitude instruction in his previous fights until final Could when he misplaced to undefeated American junior-welterweight Timothy Bradley.

Then to additional guarantee that no interruptions will punctuate the Filipino ring idol’s preparations for his next fight in opposition to old-rival Juan Manuel Marquez, chief trainer Freddie Roach has ordered the closure of his Wild Card Fitness center in Los angeles to anyone other than members of the training workers.

Which means no one, that has no company within the new training scheme to become promulgated beginning October 15, which includes the Team Pacquiao pretenders, will permitted entry to the Vine Road sweat store within the heart of Hollywood beginning October fifteen when the “Pacman” begins severe instruction for that December eight battle.

The day is supposed to be the day Pacquiao is always to plunge himself into intense preparations in an work to bounce back from that defeat, albeit controversial, to Bradley that cost him his welterweight crown. Not even press men, in accordance with Roach’s Filipino assistant Marvin Somodio.
“Yun na ang ibig sabihin noong notice na ipinaskel sa loob at labas ng health club,” Somodio told People’s Journal in a phone dialogue Thursday evening. “No exception. Pati siguro kamag-anak.”

Somodio said the gag buy will be successful from one pm. To 5 p.m. everyday even it there is certainly no sparring session scheduled to get a day.
“Both coach Freddie kasi and Manny need to win impressively and deliver to some close the numerous queries that surrounded his earlier three fights with Marquez, kailangan naka-focus lahat sa preparasyon at walang kahit anong distraction,” Somodio quipped.

“Lahat as in lahat ng nag-o-oversee sa coaching. Not merely Manny, not merely Roach, but everyone,” the previous amateur standout in the Shape Up Boxing Steady of Cooyeesan Hotel proprietor Anson Tiu Co described.

“As I recognized it, these safeguards, including getting rid of Baguio camp, are components of new techniques and strategies to become applied in this fight,” Somodio additional.

The shut door training scheme isn't new to the group even though even though this specific rule is often disregarded than noticed as many people, including friends of individuals near to Pacquiao nearly always managed to observe and kibitz in his coaching routine, posing for photographs and signing autographs.

“Kasi regardless of how stringent the rule is carried out, kapag nakita ng security na kaibigan ang gustong pumasok, pinapayagan. Pag hindi pinapasok, galit pa. At hila-hila pa ang mga kasama kaya bago mo malaman, puno na ang gym,” Somodio noticed.

“If Roach can have his way, this must be a issue of the previous now. Medyo kasi masama ang mga pangyayari nitong mga nakaraang araw,” Somodio mentioned. “Napagtatalo ang mga boxer ng Wild Card at kailangang makabangon.”

Several much more rigid measures, according to Somodio, are bound to be implemented when Pacquiao finally arrived in Los angeles subsequent week.

Manny Pacquiao’s latest loss to Timothy Bradley wasn’t particularly crucial to fans. They saw it occur, obviously, but nobody in fact place a lot inventory into it simply because they knew the final judgment was a total farce.

Pacquiao landed a lot more punches in a greater efficiency than his counterpart. He was by no means really thrown off balance at any point during the bout. He absolutely dominated in the last moment of all but two rounds. By any evaluate you want to utilize, statistical or otherwise, he was the rightful winner of that match up. So when Bradley eventually received the nod from two inept judges, again, it wasn’t a game-changer in terms of the way that supporters seen Pacquiao.

Supporters don’t choose who wins and who loses matches, although.

Pacquiao’s most latest defeat may prove to be a game-changer in the way judges view him. Final November, when he and Juan Manuel Marquez satisfied for that third time, there was a very affordable case to be produced that the latter fighter was the rightful winner. You can argue it either way, certainly, but when what Bradley did could possibly be considered a get - what Marquez did undoubtedly should have counted as being a gain.

The reason Marquez didn’t really upset Pacquiao is simply because there's a general underyling principle in boxing that judges generally abide by - you must conquer the champ. You can’t fight just too as him. It can’t become a tie. If you'd like his belt, you need to take it from him. Marquez fought fairly effectively final November, but he did not rip the triumph away from Pacquiao. That’s why everybody besides probably the most diehard of Marquez supporters was alright with all the way the bout ended.

Since someone has really ruled against Pacquiao, though, every thing is various. That small benefit from the doubt the Filipino champ rode to his last win as opposed to Marquez - that advantage of the doubt is absent now. If Pacquiao wants to steer clear of a second straight defeat, he must definitively defeat down Marquez. And observing as he hasn’t recorded a knockout since 2009, that may show to be kind of difficult.

The most intriguing thing to view for this December will likely be the type stamina Pacquiao shows from start to complete. Against Bradley, you couldn’t assist but feel as although he was not trying until the last moment of all his rounds because he wasn’t positive he experienced the energy to go 100 % all through. That cannot take place this time around.

Pacquiao can’t depart any space for question in this 1. To beat Marquez for that 3rd straight time, he must account for that Timothy Bradley Impact. He must go into this a single almost expecting the judges to rule in opposition to him.

And if this previous June was any indicator - possibly that expectation is not as farfetched as it sounds.

Mexican four-division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez has began his coaching camp this week at the Romanza Gym with Hall of Fame trainer Nacho Beristain and his team. His aim to possess much more pace to seek and pursue Manny Pacquiao and gain convincingly in Pacquiao-Marquez 4. Marquez can also be seeking to mail Pacquiao for the canvas at the very least when throughout the fight.

“This time we will function placing a lot emphasis on velocity,” mentioned Beristain. “We seek out to preserve the pace from the battle and see the chance to place Pacquiao on the canvas and take advantage of that situation. I am aware how tough the fight will be. Pacquiao is actually a robust fighter.”

Marquez said, “I’ll be coming using a lot of preparation and self-confidence. The aim is to try to gain the fight by knockout. Two aspects go along with me: Intelligence and also the experience.”

Every day, countless supporters pay a visit to in the Romanza Fitness center to determine Marquez’ workouts and possibly for that last stages of instruction this may be very difficult to control because the hundreds turn out to be a huge number of fans wishing to assistance the Mexican Warrior.

Marquez, 39, and Pacquiao, 33, will fight for your fourth time on December 8 in a sequence which has three previous matches, the initial was a draw and Pacman won the final two by near, questionable decisions.

It had been 3 years back this month that coach Freddie Roach and his fighter, Manny Pacquiao, expressed outrage and disbelief on becoming 1st knowledgeable a couple of video in the course of which Floyd Mayweather Sr. appeared to show worry that the Filipino boxer may well be employing steroids.

Because of this of Mayweather's sentiment, as well as subsequent feedback attributed to his son, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and his uncle and coach, Roger Mayweather, Pacquiao submitted a lawsuit in opposition to the trio in December of 2009 looking for compensatory and punitive damages for defamation of character

The match named, in part, Mayweather, his father and his uncle, and alleged that they continued to indicate publicly that Pacquiao's achievement over eight excess weight classes resulted from his obtaining employed performance-enhancing medicines.

But on Tuesday, the attorneys for Paquiao along with the Mayweathers achieved an out-of-court settlement resolving Pacquiao's lawsuit in Vegas.

As a part of the resolution, the Mayweathers issued a assertion in which they denied they ever "intended to declare that Manny Pacquiao has used or is making use of any efficiency enhancing medicines."

"Floyd Mayweather Jr., Floyd Mayweather Sr., Roger Mayweather and Mayweather Promotions wish to ensure it is clear that they in no way meant to declare that Manny Pacquiao has employed or is utilizing any overall performance enhancing medicines," read the prepared assertion, issued in the San Francisco-based office of retired judge and mediator Daniel H. Weinstein.

"Nor are they conscious of any proof that Manny Pacquiao has used efficiency improving medicines. Manny Pacquiao is an excellent champion, and nobody should construe any of our prior remarks as claiming that Manny Pacquiao has used efficiency improving medicines."

Citing "a rigid confidentiality" gag purchase that is certainly a situation with the arrangement between the two camps, Pacquiao's advisor, Michael Koncz, referred concerns to the fighter's lawyers, David Marroso and Dan Petrocelli, with the Los Angeles-based O'Melveny and Myers legislation agency, who could be reached for an immediate comment.

Contacted by RingTV.com at his Wild Card Boxing Club on Wednesday, Roach held his remark short.

"They did not say anything about me, so I don't really care," said Roach. "It's a thing I do not need to get within the middle of. That is between them."

The Mayweather-Pacquiao settlement could pave the way in which for that extremely coveted Mayweather-Pacquiao clash, since previous negotiations among the boxers unsuccessful more than the notion of drug tests.

Random drug screening of blood and urine has become contractually mandated by Mayweather for his past 3 victories more than Victor Ortiz, Shane Mosley and Miguel Cotto.

In the meantime, Roach is coaching Pacquiao to confront Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez a fourth time on Dec. 8 in Vegas. Pacquiao won a disputed majority decision in November, having also battled into a draw along with a split choice victory over Marquez.

Pacquiao selected Marquez more than a return bout with Tim Bradley, whose questionable split selection in June dethroned Pacquiao as the WBO's welterweight titleholder and ended his 15-bout winning streak that integrated eight stoppages.



ROACH ON AMIR KHAN: 'YOU Cannot Teach An excellent CHIN IN BOXING'

Roach confirmed the end of a romantic relationship following ten fights with ex-IBF and WBA junior welterweight titleholder Amir Khan (26-3, eighteen KOs), who may have aligned himself with coach Virgil Hunter inside the wake of July's fourth-round knockout reduction to Danny Garcia, based on reviews.

"I did the best that I could with him, however you can not educate an excellent chin in boxing," stated Roach, who had previously denied that Khan had specifically expressed the wish to finish their affiliation, opposite to reports. "We tried to perform on his defense a little little bit, but he likes to exchange, and in case you prefer to trade, then you happen to be going to acquire strike."

Roach said he didn't think that the absence of power and conditioning expert Alex Ariza for only the second time in Khan's past 10 fights was amongst the causes for the loss to Garcia, whose triumph added Khan's WBA belt at the same time as the division's RING championship towards the WBC crown he already owned.

Within the Garcia fight, referee Kenny Bayless asked Khan if he nevertheless could continue just before waving an end towards the bout at two minutes 28 seconds following the third knockdown -- the second from the fourth spherical.

Bayless informed RingTV.com that among the factors for your stoppage was the reality that "in my viewpoint, Amir's leg's had been shot, and his stability was off."

Replaced by Ruben Tabares, Ariza had said for the duration of an interview with RingTV.com in July of final yr that strengthening of the legs is very important in supporting the neck.

Khan began working with Roach and Ariza adhering to his 54-second knockout loss to Breidis Prescott being a lightweight in Sept. of 2008. From there, Khan won 8 straight fights, four of these by knockout, and attained two title belts.

That stretch also included knockouts of New Yorkers Zab Judah and Paulie Malignaggi, also as victories more than former beltholders Marcos Maidana, Marco Antonio Barrera and Andreas Kotelnik.

But the loss to Garcia was the second within a row for Khan, whose successful streak below Roach finished with December's questionable split-decision loss to Lamont Peterson.

"If they're able to serene him down and obtain him to not exchange so much and acquire him to box a bit little bit more, getting a great athlete, he'll do considerably better," stated Roach. "But I do not know if anyone can cange that although. Still, I want him the most effective, and we will see what happens."
