Kiko Martinez vs Josh Warrington On Saturday, 26 March

Kiko Martinez vs Josh Warrington On Saturday 26 March. IBF featherweight champion Kiko Martinez will take on Josh Warrington. In their rematch, next Saturday, 26 March, live on DAZN at the First Direct Arena in Leeds, England. The fight event kicks off at 3 pm ET on DAZN. Warrington beat Martinez by a controversial 12-round majority decision five years ago in 2017 at Leeds. Many boxing fans feel that the Spaniard Martinez has done more than enough to get the win. But with the fight taking place in Warrington’s backyard in Leeds. That may play an important factor in the results.

Kiko recently captured the 126-lb IBF title, stopping champion Kid Galahad in the sixth round in a heroic win in Sheffield, England. In 2021, Warrington vacated the IBF rather than face Galahad in a rematch. Galahad went on to win the vacant IBF title with an 11th-round stoppage over James Dickens last August. Having vacated his IBF title, Warrington was stopped by Mauricio Lara in the ninth round last year in February 2021. In the Lara-Warrington rematch last September in Leeds. The fight was declared a technical draw two rounds after Lara was cut off for a head clash.

Kiko Martinez’s defeat of Warrington in the 2017 fight

“Yeah, I think the judges made a big mistake in judging the fight the way they did. I felt I won the fight or, at the very least, it was a draw, but he didn’t win. You can’t win a fight by running. He was on his bike the entire fight. Go after him, and crush him, and win more convincingly than I did when I defeated him in the first fight. I feel I won the first one. But I had to go out and give more because I knew I wasn’t going to be given an easy or fair win.” Kiko Martinez told Matchroom Boxing about his loss to Warrington in 2017.

“So I knew I had to destroy it on March 26. Yes, that’s what motivated me to go to another country with everything against me with 15,000 against me, and silence them. That is what excites me, and I will silence all of Leeds once again. After the fourth round [in 2017], Leeds fell silent. They are silent. The arena was silent, and all you could hear was, ‘Ooh, ooh.’ I would do it again, but it would be worse. The positive thing is that he does a lot of combinations. He moves well and knows how to fight, he’s a very good boxer, and he’s very skilled. And his weakness is that he doesn’t hit hard.”

“He’s not a boxer who hits hard. He didn’t hurt you. I promised my family if I lost, I would retire. And I think he will do the same. I think he has the same obligations as me, win or retire. So I feel we are now at a point after five years of ending our careers. And I don’t think any of us should be doing that at the moment,” Martinez said.

Iga Swiatek Adopts Ugly Win In Indian Wells Final Win Over Sakkari

Iga Swiatek Adopts Ugly Win In Indian Wells Final Win Over Sakkari

Iga Swiatek Adopts Ugly Win In Indian Wells Final Victory Over Sakkari – With the swirling serve and nervousness being the deciding factor in today’s BNP Paribas Open women’s singles final. Against sixth seed Maria Sakkari, third seed Iga Sweatek’s disciplined footwork and the resulting margin from her forehand made the difference. Following a tight first set featuring seven serve breaks, Iga Sweatek raced through the second set to win, 6-4, 6-1. “I actually thought I had to win badly because I feel like sometimes the ball doesn’t go in the direction I want,” said Swiatek. It’s quite difficult to play with precision these days.

Important data. Sakkari won just five of 29 points on her second serve, including just two in what proved to be a decisive first set. Serving at 4-5 in the opener, Sakkari struggled for two set points. But on the third deuce of the game, double-faulted and then hit a backhand into the net. Addressing the influence of the wind on his serve, Sakkari said, “That’s tough. I think I had a bad day today too. It wasn’t my day, you know, just winning easy points and stuff. It’s difficult because you have to kick on one side; on the other side, you have to hit more. You don’t know where to aim.

For much of the first set, both players had a lot of sloppy playing moments, forehand wide, return missed, volley. Perhaps the troika of slow hardcourts, wind, and high-stakes title chances conspire to limit each of them. Says Iga Sweatek; surely you can see that we were, at first, a little stressed, and the wind didn’t help either. But I’m quite happy that I’m playing better and better in every game, and somehow I managed to find a bit of balance even in these conditions.

Swiatek consecutive wins

The two have become one of the most successful WTA players of 2022. Swiatek will move up two spots in the rankings to No. 2, while Sakkari jumped from No. 6 to No. 3. Swiatek has now won 20 tour-leading games in ’22. Sakkari is second with 16. It was also Swiatek’s 11th win in a row, the Poles clinching the title in Doha last month. The run also included a semi-final win over Sakkari, Swiatek’s first win over him after losing their first three matches.

Talking about his match against Sakkari, Iga Sweatek said, “I think it will be a great competition because I think we will stay here, to be honest. We can show consistency and really play these big games against each other.

In an era when many factors, perhaps the most important of which is the pandemic, have prevented many players from competing on a regular basis. It is understandable that both of them were so successful. Each fit and dedicated. And while when it comes to making predictions, I’m a scrupulous opponent, Swiatek’s 2020 Roland Garros title impressed me so much that I think he has the right mix of technique, physicality, and mental strength to be a significant contender in the major for years to come. will come. His play so far this year further validates that assessment.
