There are many similarities between this game and the 12 round held by Demetrius andrade in his hometown of Providence, Rhode Island last June. In that competition, Demetrius andrade was once in the ascendant, but he could not beat the Polish boxer Su Leczki in the knockout round.
Facing the unknown Luke Keeler, defending champion Demetrius andrade did not disappoint the audience at first. Only seconds after the bell rang in the first round, Demetrius andrade went straight ahead and punched Luke Keeler with his left hand. And this is just the beginning. Demetrius andrade seized the opportunity to take down Luke Keeler again in the second round, but the bell rang at the end of the game to save Luke Keeler.
Unfortunately, after the third round, Demetrius andrade did not pursue victory. Faced with Luke Keeler, who was in poor condition, Demetrius andrade suddenly appeared helpless, and the game came to a deadlock.
Demetrius andrade and Luke Keeler punched each other evenly, which greatly reduced the enjoyment of the subsequent game. As a challenger, Luke Keeler tried his best to turn things around. However, it seems that Luke Keeler's willpower alone is far from enough to overcome the huge gap in their technical level.
When the game entered the ninth round, Luke Keeler's physical fitness declined seriously and he began to neglect defense. Luke Keeler, who gradually lost his ability to defend himself, was caught by Demetrius andrade and struck many times with his right hand. Finally, when the cue of applause sounded at the end of this round (ten seconds before the end), Luke Keeler, who had no strength to fight back, stumbled on the edge of the rope. Telis Minhos, the referee on duty, saw this scene behind the scenes and decisively stopped the game, which was completely over.
After this game, Demetrius andrade's record was rewritten as 29 wins 18 KO opponent. He praised his opponent in an interview with reporters after the game. He told reporters: "I personally think that Luke Keeler performed very well today. He is an excellent boxer and a future world champion. But obviously he can't get these honors today, today belongs only to me. "
Yes, the day of the game was destined not to belong to Luke Keeler. After losing the game, Luke Keeler waved goodbye to his unbeaten record of eight games.
Demetrius andrade, as a boxer who has always been good at skills, lacks practical examples of defeating opponents with KO. Last year (2065438+09) 65438+1October 18, Demetrius andrade defeated Artur Akavov in the form of KO, but at that time, the game had already been played for almost 12 rounds, and Artur Akavov's physical fitness declined seriously and almost collapsed in the ring. Therefore, the lack of knockout and appreciation has always been the weakness of Demetrius andrade's competition.
After this game, Demetrius andrade, who is no longer young, has to face two important choices, that is, whether to consider the benefit or the winning rate in the next game.
In fact, after Demetrius andrade defeated Sue Leczki, the list of opponents who could make Demetrius andrade a fortune has been narrowed down to only two people, two middleweight overlords-Sur awar and Gennady golovkin.
However, judging from Demetrius andrade's performance today, no matter who he plays, people are worried about his future performance. Moreover, Demetrius andrade is very old and has just established cooperation with DAZN, so he seems to have little confidence.
Besides, there seems to be no place for Demetrius andrade in the short-term opponent list of Sur Yabar and Gennady golovkin. Sur awar has been in contact with Japanese champion village Tian Ryuta Murata, while Gennady golovkin is preparing for a compulsory defending match with Szeremeta.
Fortunately, Demetrius andrade learned to be flexible. He has thought of a new name, a name that has been entangled with him in the past.
Demetrius andrade told reporters: "Attention, everyone, I want to challenge Billy Chow Saunders again at the level of 168 pounds. Yes, that's exactly what I want to do now. Now that I have the help of Eddie Hearn and Dazan, I will take many checks to Billy Zhou Sanders for approval. "
The reason for their long-term contact is that Demetrius andrade challenged the welterweight world champion Andrew Saunders of WBO in 20 18. However, just before their match, Billy Zhou Saunders was found to be positive for the illegal drug oxyprofen in the pre-match drug test. Not only was he deprived of the title of world champion, but he was also banned.
After that, Demetrius andrade defeated Dokwa of Coton and won the vacant WBO middleweight world championship, which has been defended to this day; Billy Zhou Saunders rose to the super middleweight of 65,438+068 pounds after the suspension, and won the WBO world champion gold belt at this level.
However, this is only one option chosen by Demetrius andrade himself, and Eddie Hearn, the sponsor of his activity, has made another option: Saymard Charow. I just don't know how the negotiations are going yet.
Demetrius andrade said he could accept this. He told reporters: "I know that Eddie Hearn sent an invitation to Jamal Chalo, but it has been several months and there is still no reply. I won't give up, as long as they send us an offer, we can start. "
