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

[Oasisman]

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.

Good catch right there. Extremely cold weather tends to weaken the body of a person who has used to be on a torrid weather.
However, Ancajas might already be in a place where it's close as cold as the winter in Japan. He might have adapted into different kinds of weather especially that he's constantly flying from 1 country to another whenever he has a fight.

Moreover, body conditioning will be they key to eliminate that factor, keep the sweat coming once he steps foot on the ring.

[Finestream]

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

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 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.

They are both in SFW division, and I also note that their record, height and reach advantage have only little gaps, as well as their KO rate. So this fight will be a close one and they're both tough, because this Japanese challenger is also at his 4th win streak and it's just the pressure that is added into Ancajas carrying, as well as the flag of all Filipinos.
Also, the winter season in Japan is approaching, so it's gonna be a very tough training for Ancajas.

Yeah, team Ancajas should come to Japan at least two week for him to really be familiar with the weather because for sure it will be snowing in Japan and the Philippines doesn't have that one in their calendar. So get early in Japan then continue his training under this weather so that once the actual fight, there will be no more adjustment in the coldness of Japan as his body are used to it already.

Right, I haven't check Jerwin's record but maybe this is not the first time that he will go and fight in Japan. And for sure they have taken this in consideration already and could be entering Japan much earlier. This fight is more of a mental game for him, going to the opponents country and beating him, that is what's more important for him and that should be the one in his mind. The physical, these boxers are well trained, so it boils down on the mental aspect of the game.

Jerwin's team anticipates that and as a fighter, he needs to overcome anything that will hinder to his fight.

More conditioning training that will help him to adopt this kind of weather, aside from mental he also needs to strengthen his stamina
Fighting against your opponent's home really needs both to be enhanced.

He needs to prepare everything to prove that he can beat Ioka and to have more fights for his career.

He has a good record, 33 wins, and 1 loss only against Mark Anthony Geraldo via MD but that was in the early stage of his career. About the weather condition, I'm sure he will be able to adjust as he has fought in cold countries as well, so I don't see it as a problem for him.

[Vannie12]

It's overwhelming how pinoys compete with passion. Not bias, I watch a lot of foreign movies instead of our own but when it comes to sports especially in boxing, I love to see fellow Filipinos compete.
Ancajas and Ioka are both great boxers. They were molded by handwork, patience and time. They have proven their love for the sport they love.
Individually, I observed that Ancajas uses his strengths (height, reach, speed and body), he thinks carefully and has great combination. On the other hand, Ioka, I have watched some of his previous matches and have notice great improvement in his game for the past years. His speed and aggressiveness sure are noticeable. Both have unique way of throwing punches yet strong. Ioka may have a bit of edge when it comes to stamina but I think both can keep up until round 9 or 10 with the same energy. This will definitely be an interesting fight.

I wont see this to be a big factor that would affect Ancajas performance and yet if we do really count off the duration of the entire round time wont really be that enough on affecting someones condition except on getting exhaustion due to the fight itself.

I agree that they are bit aware of Japans weather condition which a boxer could really have already planned on being able to adapt
yet being a boxer who do flew on different countries would be mainly having this consideration.

The boxers always consider the environment they are in, this is the reason why sometimes they train in the country where the venue is.
They know their weaknesses, so that's the job of their respective coaches, to address those weaknesses before the match.
I guess, I will be betting on the Filipino boxer here. A lot of Filipino boxers are getting famous because of their resilience inside the ring.
Also, take into account that Ancajas is under MP Promotions (Pacquiao's company), which I believe, he is in good hands.

edit : I just read an article that this fight is postponed, so it will not happen at the end of the year. This is owed to new covid restrictions.

Dang, how unfortunate to hear up the news i though this would push through.Any news for other possible or upcoming fights to be postponed as well?
Im not seeing for this to be that serious specially now that new variant comes out.It feels like we are already going back to the start where
we are really that affected on this pandemic situation.Hope on next year we would continue into those normal days that
we've been used to.

I guess, we need to expect more fights or other sports events to be postponed owed to this new Omicron variant. Some countries area already closing borders from other countries like S. Africa or being strict again with the travelers. So the fights that are scheduled for last week of December may possibly be postponed. So hold off your bets for now and keep up with the news.

Damn, this could be the first of many fights that will be postponed due to this new COVID-19 variant. I think the fight between Murata and GGG will also be postponed and the Inoue defense might as well be held early next year.

I knew that this is only temporary but I'm hoping that those fights involving popular boxers must be held in the US.

This is too bad but that's the reality of the sports in the middle of the pandemic, there could be more postponement, not only on sports like boxing but other events as well, I just hope the postponement will not like what happened to the Kambosos - Lopez where a total of postponement happened, we'll see more development when things get better.

It's better if this fight will be move to the US, but I think Ioka's manager and I'm assuming he is a Japanese might not be well aware of the promotional requirements in the US and that's why they chooses Japan. And it will be an advantage for Ancajas if they decided this fight to happen in the US as he has been fighting stateside for quite sometime now.

Yeah, it seems that the GGG vs Murata is also cancelled for this year because of the same reason.

That's really not good, we have been waiting for this moment to come and yet it's canceled.

Their efforts are wasted because they won't be able to use their training soon due to the postponement.
So, are we going back to the early stage restrictions of covid-19 pandemic?

[Alanaz]

both boxers have a high fighting spirit especially with Ancajas who indeed I feel he has something different from his fighting style.
but on the other hand they are actually quite balanced and I expect an exciting game from here.
Even though Ioka is very strong and quite an aggressive type of fighter but I will be by Ancajas' side for now

Maybe it was only Japan for now, but we will see, and as far as I know Asia hasn't been affected by the Omicron yet but Japan just wanted to do some preemptive measures to prevent the spread in their country.

I don't think their efforts for training are wasted, they just have to take a break and wait for the official announcement as when is the fight going to happen next year. So they still need to be in the best shape and battle ready anytime.

Same here, I will side Ancajas because I trust our boxers in PH. This is a good match for Ancajas as both are champions and they'll unify in this fight. Let's just wait for further announcements as to when the fight will finally happen as it's announced it's postponed.

@OP, maybe edit the thread to "postponed", so people will be aware and will not expect the fight this December 31.

Will always be the supporter of our boxer and its really good that Ancajas defended his title for the longest time and for sure, he can still do if this time. Its ok to postponed the match to give them enough time go prepare, let’s wait for their next announcement and I can’t actually wait for it because I want Ancajas to win on this match and continue to defend the title.

They are already given enough time to prepare, the postponement is just caused by the new covid-19 variant, we didn't see this coming but since it happened already, we have to accept and remain optimistic that soon we will see this fight being realize. I hope the fight of Donaire vs Gaballo and Casimero vs Butler will not be postponed too.
