3u medium flex racket

September 25, 2023 by admin

Hi all, im looking for a 3u even balance medium flex racket, im unfamiliar with current ranges so any recomendations would be helpful, previously used li ning n9ii followed by adidas p3 but my current adidas f5 im not so keen on being stiffer and head heavier than im used to.

Click to expand…

Uberschall F5 is stiff and head-heavy? I thought F5 was supposed to be a head-light/even-balance speed racket.

Regarding your question, what’s your budget? If no limit, consider rackets like Auraspeed Hypersonic, Auraspeed CY, the original Bravesword 12, and Mizuno Altius 01 Feel.

Lito Adiwang says winner of Joshua Pacio-Mansur Malachiev likely to earn shot at Jarred Brooks’ gold

September 25, 2023 by admin

Lito Adiwang believes Jarred Brooks’ next challenger as the strawweight world champion will be decided when a pivotal showdown gets underway at ONE Fight Night 15 on Friday, October 6.

That evening, former divisional king Joshua Pacio takes on Russian superstar Mansur Malachiev inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, in a pivotal strawweight meeting between two ranked contenders.

Malachiev, who debuted with a sensational first-round submission over Jeremy Miado, hopes to climb up the rankings and maintain his momentum. On the flip side, ‘The Passion’ wants to bounce back into the winning column after dropping his crown to Brooks in his last outing at ONE 164 in December last year.

With both men eager to give it their all on fight night, Lito Adiwang senses that this match could eventually pan out to be a world title decider clash. Of course, the HIIT Studio representative will be in support of his former stablemate when the action gets underway next month.

In a post-ONE Friday Fights 34 interview with South China Morning Post Martial Arts after his win over Adrian Mattheis, the former Team Lakay affiliate shared his thoughts on this upcoming clash.

He said:

“Yeah, I really believe whoever wins that will get the title shot with Jared Brooks and, I’m still rooting for my buddy Joshua for this one.”

Watch the full interview below:

While he hopes to see Pacio covered in gold confetti with the 26 pounds of gold resting on his shoulder, ‘Thunder Kid’ looks to build off his crushing 23-second finish to move up the charts and maybe get himself a shot at the strawweight MMA crown in the near future.

THE CANELO-CHARLO DISS TRACK || FIGHTHYPE.COM

September 25, 2023 by admin

Leading up to Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo this Saturday, you’re going to see lots of nuts and bolts breakdowns of the matchup comparing and contrasting styles, techniques, and fighting mindsets– including my own over at Premier Boxing Champions, itself. But what I want to get at right here is something beyond the actual fighting, something that might affect the way the fight is sold and definitely affects how the outcome is measured against history. 

So, I’ll just come out and say it.

Neither Alvarez nor Charlo have gotten the respect they deserve as fighters. 

Alvarez, the Mexican superstar who’s been the undisputed box office king in the post-Mayweather era, has been given a degree of acknowledgment, begrudgingly, at various times in the past. But that respect  has always been fleeting and has been quickly pulled back when any opportunity arises to do so.

Early in his career, when the perception was that he was being matched too lightly, he chose to take on boxing riddles Austin Trout, Floyd Mayweather, and Erislandy Lara as part of a four-fight run as a 22-23-year-old at the time. But instead of getting credit for jumping into deep, deep waters, he was criticized for looking less than dominant against Trout and Lara (as if anyone would look good against the Trout and Lara of that time) and flat-out denigrated for losing to pound-for-pound king Mayweather.

When he was accused of ducking Gennadiy Golovkin, he would respond by fighting him twice and then a third time years later. But, somehow, he was still accused of ducking Golovkin and/or not fighting the Kazakh at the “right” time. 

When he tested positive for trace amounts of the banned substance clenbuterol, his name was gleefully dragged through the mud. Little-to-no attention was given to the fact that he did all the right things of someone trying to establish his innocence in such a situation. He provided receipts and other proof to affirm his declaration of meat contamination. He immediately signed up for 24/7/365 PEDs testing. He even submitted himself to hair follicle testing to confirm that he was not a “dirty” fighter. Now, none of that may absolutely prove his clean fighter status, but the effort to prove his innocence was certainly greater than most fighters in similar situations whose transgressions are forgiven and forgotten without even a quarter of the effort. That’s because, well, a good number of people were eager NOT to believe Canelo.

In the present tense, that “slow-to-no respect” dynamic continues as the critics seize on the opportunity to close out his career for him after his loss to Dmitry Bivol and back-to-back less-than-stellar showings against Gennadiy Golovkin and John Ryder. And this “the end is near” narrative comes not long after an outstanding 4-fight, 11-month run in 2020-2021 that saw him fully unify the super middleweight division and force himself into the pound-for-pound no. 1 slot for about six months, for whatever that’s worth (not much). 

Jermell Charlo has had a less storied career than Alvarez, but the general disrespect towards him has been at superstar level. If we’re going to use “in the 4-belt era” as a reasonable measuring stick/qualifying term, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Charlo is the most disrespected and disregarded fully unified world champ of the 4-belt era in boxing. 

In a present tense where boxing nerds twist their nipples over the orgasmic importance of winning all four belts in a division, Charlo got comparatively little fanfare for that feat. As a matter of fact, out of all the boxing nerd groups that do pound-for-pound rankings, Charlo is only ranked in one– a begrudging #10 placement in the transsexual boxing rankings board, or whatever that nonsense is called. 

Of course, we all know (or should know) that “P4P” is meaningless fluff. But the way he’s been treated there does help tell the tale of a fighter who has done everything media and fans ask of a fighter to earn respectability, but has yet to get that respect he deserves.

There are a litany of possible reasons for this. 

Jermell and his twin brother Jermall can be abrasive in interviews and their trash talking can sometimes border on delusional. But there are a lot of insufferable loud mouths in boxing. 

Jermell’s path to full unification saw him go through the less-than-murderer’s row gauntlet of Tony Harrison (when he won back his WBC belt), Jeison Rosario, and Brian Castano. But Terence Crawford at 140 and the beloved Naoya Inoue at 118 were also blessed with some relative soft-touch title acquisitions en route to unified champ status. 

Another possible reason for the odd level of derision is Charlo’s affiliation with the much-targeted Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) and adviser Al Haymon. As I previously wrote: “When Haymon first started making major waves in the boxing business, doing things in a pro-fighter and non-traditional way, he got major blowback from the boxing establishment and the boxing media, which is usually made up of lap dogs for the establishment and status quo. The negative press washing over all things Haymon, also washed over fighters associated with Haymon. It only stands to reason that if extremely likable early-day Haymon fighters like Vernon Forrest and Paul Williams got odd amounts of negativity from the media, not-so-likable fighters like Jermell and Jermall would get more and worse.”

But, ultimately, we’ll never know the “whys” with something like this. 

One thing is for certain, though. If Charlo can beat Alvarez, moving up two full weight classes to become undisputed in a second division, he has to get that respect he deserved to see for the last couple years. Right? Maybe? Maybe from SOME of the cynics and critics at least. 

Alvarez, on the other hand, may not get all that much of a rub from beating Charlo. If he crushes Jermell, critics will say he merely streamrolled a smaller fighter (although that wouldn’t be a very valid sticking point, not really, because Charlo is naturally just as big– if not bigger– than Canelo). If he struggles with Jermell and wins a close fight, the critics will say that he’s, indeed, on the steep decline for struggling to beat a junior middleweight. And, of course, if he loses to Jermell, the know-it-alls will be demanding his immediate retirement while aggressively disassembling his professional legacy. 

Bullshit cynicism sure can drop turds into punch bowls. 

In boxing, though, we must learn to move past the bullshit and, I guess, drink around the turds in the punch bowl (?). 

Saul Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo is just a damn good fight with a lot of variables in play. It’s also significant that both fighters will be entering the ring as fully unified 4-belt champions (although the WBO plans on stripping Charlo of their 154 lb. title immediately after Saturday’s opening bell). 

There’s also a pretty damn good undercard below the main event, especially Jesus Ramos vs. Erickson Lubin. 

That should be enough to get fight fans hyped. Should.

The winner of Alvarez-Charlo should get the appropriate amount of respect for their accomplishment– although, realistically, we know that won’t happen in certain corners of the boxing universe.

“China me aake China ko hi haraya” – Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar after India men win 10m air rifle event in Asian Games 2023 

September 25, 2023 by admin

Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar was on Cloud 9 after India won the 10-metre air rifle event in the Asian Games 2023 on Monday, September 25. It also happened to be India’s first gold medal in the ongoing tournament in Hangzhou.

The Indian team, comprising, Tomar, Rudrankksh Balasaheb Patil and Divyansh Singh Panwar, finished on top after beating China. The trio also made a world record with 1893.7 points.

Back in August, China set the record with 1893.3 points in the Baku World Championship. Tomar was delighted after India were able to take down China in the latter’s backyard.

“We are very happy after winning the gold medal in the team event. We also made a world record. I am also happy for the fact that I won the bronze medal individually.”

“We never thought that we could make a world record. It is a proud moment for our country. China me aake China ko hi haraya (beating China in China,” Tomar was quoted as saying to Sony Sports Network.

As mentioned by Tomar following India’s triumphant run in the team event, he also won the bronze medal in the men’s 10m Air Rifle event. He went past his countryman Rudrankksh Patil in a shoot-off to win the bronze medal.

Tomar finished third while China’s Sheng Lihao and South Korea’s Hajun Park won the gold and silver medals respectively. Lihao also entered the record books after making a world record 253.3 points. Park, on the other hand, finished with 251.3 points.

Tomar started his career in shooting back in 2015 when he joined the Madhya Pradesh Shooting Academy in Bhopal. He also took part in the Tokyo Olympics, although he failed to qualify for the final after finishing 21st in Birmingham.
