Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8
We make it a big issue and yet Ancajas can still make it to the weight requirement. I think what Ancajas has to focus is to improve his stamina, it's not the weight that is the problem but his Ancajas because if he gets tired easily, he will lose his power in the later rounds, and that's what happened in their first meeting.
Do you seriously even know what you are talking about?
Of course, he reach the weight but are you aware of the process he went through?Didn't you know that Ancajas' weight problem resulted in a domino effect and one of them is lack of stamina? He is not well-conditioned during his first match with Martinez because he was overtrained just to reach the weight requirement. Another effect is he loses his power because of an obvious reason that he's not in his usual condition due to the training he went through.
It's easy to gain weight but it's hard to burn them. The weigh-in is the day before the fight. How can your body adjust easily within just a day after the intense workout to burn some fats?
I highly agree, that in a match that goes a distance, stamina is the main factor to keep the boxer competitive. If a boxer is not conditioned due to overtraining, dehydration, and other stuff just to lose weight, his performance is greatly affected.
During the first match, we see Ancajas in survival mode, he actually tries to survive not to win the fight because of exhaustion. It is just lucky that Ancajas is a veteran and good fighter that he lasted until the last round. Hopefully, it will be a different story this rematch.
Hopefully, he will be more prepare compared to their last fight, with enough time to maintain his weight and to have good sets of trainings this upcoming fight would more interesting if Ancajas is inside the ring not just to survive but also to claim back his belt, it's not easy though but Ancajas still have that power and the youth to continue moving forward to this sport.
I think we have discussed that his weight is the biggest issues on him right now, similar to what happen to Casimero. But Ancajas case is different, there is something wrong during this cut that he wasn't able to adapt. Weight cut in one thing, but after the weigh-in, boxers need to replenish their body and based on the article this is where they made the mistake.
Yes agree that Casimero's case is different from Ancajas. Casimero has a medical condition called gastritis, a digestive problem that we all know that it's responsible for properly breaking down foods in our body. That's why even with a proper workout, Casimero's problem is his diet as his body is not cooperating with his target goals.
Ancajas seems doesn't have a medical condition but just struggling to reach the required weight as maybe he is really getting bulky and bigger for his current division. That's why a good nutritionist is necessary and they hired a new one as part of the team that will condition Ancajas until the day of the fight.
Yeah, there's no need forced Ancajas unlike with Casimero who needs to go sauna just to lose some weight which is prohibited by the sports official, We might see more aggressive Ancajas now not just to play defense but looking to see more aggressive counter punches and more aggressive position to box Martinez.
