[Boxing]: Ancajas vs Martinez - Feb 26, 2022

[Dave1]

I'm not sure who would win here but I think I will go for Ancajas to win.

Maybe we are bias towards the Ancajas, but his records speak for himself here. Champion and successfully defending it 10 straight times.

A Filipino fighter always has the blood of a real warrior, so whoever is promoting Ancajas, I still think he will get this win and I consider this a big fight for him since the record Ioka is good, in fact, I only see a little advantage of Ancajas here so he needs to train hard and be careful when in the ring.

We've seen many Filipinos before, just like today, we have Casimero, Donaire and recently, Jonas Sultan pulls one of the biggest upset. So no doubt that Filipino blood has warrior mentality. Ancajas though need not underestimate his Japanese opponent and he really needs to train 100% here.

Ancajas has been defending his title for such a long time so I don't think he would just give it up that easy. I've seen how he defended his title during his previous fights and he was too aggressive which impressed lots of viewers. I'm sure that it will be a challenging match for Loka because Ancajas is well prepared for this.

[bisdak40]

@bisdak40 - maybe it's time for Ancajas to sign with Probelleum, don't you think? So that he will get exposure as Sean Gibbons is having a hard time securing a fight for all this Filipino boxers.

From what I saw on the personality of Ancajas, I don't think that he will jump ship. Sean Gibbons should reward Anjacas for his loyalty with at least two fights next year with big names on the opposing side but first, he has to beat Ioka first.

This is unification, not a walk in the park for both fighters so we can expect this to be an exciting bout. Donnie Nietes beat Ioka via SD and we knew how tough Nietes is so this must be a close fight also.

He is touted to carry the Philippine flag after the retirement of Manny Pacquiao, although not as strong and quick as Pacquiao his style is enough to win more titles and this is one of the titles that he is going to win, Ancajas is one of the underrated boxers in the Philippines that has a world title and winning Ioka's version of the title will boost his reputation.

[Wexnident]

I'd go for Anjacas for this one. He has a pretty solid record and is known to have defended his belt quite well now. Plus his track record shows that he has the ability to go to the top, he just needs to develop in time. He's rather underrated but that doesn't mean his skills are as well, pretty sure he's already derusted from his last match with Rodriguez a few months back imo so I don't expect to see a weak opening from him in this match. Might honestly just be biased but honestly, looking at his record, it doesn't seem like I am.

He is not going to defend his belt here as it's a unification fight, so this is a big fight for him that he can get another belt on his name. For sure both fighters are training hard now and I'm excited to see the result of the training of Ancajas in the fight night. I am biased, so I'd go with the Filipino champion, whatever the odds are.

Right, and he is used to be winning in the last 10th fights so we expect him to do the same in this fight. Although another belt is on the line in for Ioka so this is huge for Ancajas and take that belt and become the undisputed at 115 lbs. And then we will see him next year fighting for the unification, although it will be a hard decision for him to move up in weight as there are a lot of Filipinos in the 118 lbs. So most likely his target is to get all the 4 belts.

He should be the one to carry the torch already as he has been the champion for many years and has defended that belt many times. I would say that Ancajas is very fast as well, remember this is smaller weight class so boxers are very quick and agile.

If he will get more exposure in the US, for sure his reputation will be known. So far though the name that comes to mind in his division is still Estrada. So he needs to win this fight and chase Juan's two other belts in this division.

I'm not sure how long have been Ancajas is with the MP promotions, but yeah been seeing videos of him about Manny Pacquiao so he must be a die fan Pacquiao admirer so he might not switch sides and will stay with his promotional company unless there is really a bad fall out between Jerwin and Sean Gibbons.

The thing though with Sean as I have said is that is not well know personality in boxing and I'm not sure how Manny get his services and for sure he has been paying good money to carry this company. So the success really depends on Sean here.

It's champion against champion but I'm on Ancajas here he is a more defined boxer between the two, even if the fight is going to be staged in Japan but Anacajas should not be complacent here and try to win by knocking out, it's hard to fight and get a win in your opponent's territory if the fight is very close I have seen this happen so many times, this is going to be a big lift for Ancajas if he unites the title.

Japan audiences are always all-out when cheering to their supported boxer. Actually, not just in boxing but for other events and sports as well.

Their audience impact is no doubt can affect the momentum of the visiting opponent while giving a boost to their favored individual. It's hard to deal with in front of a full and massive Japanese audience. I remember an athlete who pointed out that but I forgot who he is and what sports were being referred to.

Regardless, I'm sure Ancajas are not new fighting in that kind of environment.

For me it's always a true test of the mettle of a champion if he will travel to his opponents home and defend or unify their belt and then win and go home. It's because it will shown, in this case Ancajas resiliency and mentality towards fighting on a hostile crowd and shutting them up with a big own against their own. And obviously, if he unites as I have said before, it will be a big step towards unification fight and big money for him in the future.

[yazher]

Another good one is just about to end the year and finally, after the 9th successful defence title for Ancajas, he will fight the most likely has the chance to snatch the title from him. The fight will be one of the greatest fights he will have in his entire career as a pro. He is fighting another champion in their division which will make him one of the greatest boxers if he can unify it all and that would be the happiest new year for him.

It's always been a test of a resilience of a fighter whenever they were going to fight and will take place in their opponents territory and somehow the impact of audience could greatly affect both fighters performance inside the ring, many analysts always considering the place of the event to predict the fighter performance and Anjacas would going to be on that set. He is a strong fighter who have defended his title for a long time but this upcoming fight of him will for sure become a challenging fight for him.

[Jawhead999]

Both of them are pretty good boxer, this is will be a big match just like Inoue vs Donaire. It will be hard to predict which one will win this fight, but pretty sure Ancajas would be favorite here since he can defend his title for 9th times. I will wait the bookie set the odds first, if the odds for Ancajas is lower than 1.20 I will bet for Ioka. This is another fight with a good chance there's an upset here.

Ancajas is still on his prime, we can really see it by his moves that aren't rusty and he's well favored in this match because of his experience than the Japanese fighter. Though, Ancajas is much younger than his opponent, we can't deny that even at his age, he already proved himself in his divison and this industry.
Ioka is a tough fighter too and have a high KO rate but sadly this isn't his fight, as also with the height, reach and experience advantage. So my bet is with the Pretty Boy Ancajas.

[crzy]

We can't all be sure about this one, this is boxing and really unpredictable especially on this match where both of the boxer have their own good records and a good skills based on their previous matches.

Ancajas was able to depend his belt for the 10th time, so this can be a big pressure to him to depend it against another champion. This is an exciting match never the less, I also believe on the strength of Filipino boxer so I think, Ancajas has a higher chance to win.

No one can be sure of who will win as even the fight between Kambasos and Lopez was a statement that a big upset could happen. This one is a fair match, both are champions, so they are good and for sure the odds are not like Lopez vs Kambasos fight. By the way, could anyone tell me how to watch this fight live? I mean, is there a channel in the Philippines that will broadcast the fight?

You are right, because Kambosos and López already teaches a lot, but given that the greatest favoritism is going by the Filipino, we cannot underestimate the capacity of the other contender, in this case although the statistics may favor the Filipino, I would like to take Keep in mind that training is a fundamental basis to win any fight, regardless of favoritism, in the ring it is only the two of them, there the statistics do not weigh more than the others, the numbers can simply fall based on the performance that one has For both fighters, if I look at it from a fighter's point of view, either one can win. In fact, I'm not going for either one yet.

Probably local cable channel will cover this one mate, but let's see. As far as I can remember Sky Cable has a "Fight Sports HD".

Anyhow, yeah this could be a 50/50 fight as both holds a belt although the advantage of Ancajas is that he has defended his 10x already and undefeated with that.

One thing that comes to my mind is the weather factor, Japan by December is very cold and Ancajas should acclimatised himself otherwise it might affect him in this fight as Pinoys are not used to a very cold weather.
