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

[Yaunfitda]

That’s the consequences they have to face on postponing this match and that’s fine for the defending champion because he can have more time to prepare and have a good trainings to defend his title and stay longer with it. We know that Japan is too strict with this, not unless they do this match on other country with a lesser restriction, this might push through early next year.

They can’t just change the venue easily, it will cost them huge money as well and beside Ioka is a Japanese so this might be the reason why they choose that location. Let’s deal with this since they already postponed the match and what to do next is to stay fit and active, stay focus and never get distracted by this delay. Ancajas has the advantage on this since he can still have more time to train because he is defending a huge title on his belt.

It is true that most likely this is not an easy thing to do, but if the fight is delayed for too long it will have to be canceled or they will have to change the venue of the fight, and I suppose that canceling the fight should be even more costly, after all we must understand that in order to reach top shape boxers need a full team of specialists working for them 24/7, and if there is no fight then this means all of those expenses would have been for nothing.

Oh well, if the fight is going to be cancelled then so be it. I mean this fighters have been training already when the news come out that it will be postponed because of Japan's health protocol. And so it is not sure when the fight will happen next year or not. If Ancajas will have another offer, then I would say grab it and win and then he can go back to Ioka again.

Among Filipino boxers i would see that this would be really be following on the step of Pacquiao.
This man is a good and heavy puncher. You could see this man is good on technical aspects.
Had the stamina and power.

He just need to have more exposures and this fight will give him that, with the hype of social media,

Ancajas can bring his name to another level, good skills and a killer's punches, if Ioka will go blow by blow the chance
to see him down is possible to happen.

Unless he also has that same caliber to take Ancajas' punches and throw his own versions of heavy blow,
very exciting to wait for sure fans will enjoy if both fighters will show aggressions to win.

I think this fight has been postponed already because this will took place on New Year's Eve at Tokyo, Japan. And the Japanese government has issued ban on international flights to Japan and closing it's borders because of the omnicron variant. Just like Murata vs GGG, there's no schedule yet of when does the Japan will open again. But maybe sometime in the 1st quarter of January. I know it's frustrating because we already anticipated to watch this fight on this very month.

This is a tough wall to beat I could say but I do believe that Ancajas could beat it down but wont really be that simple.Its true that he does need more exposure. which simply means  that from now on he should really make wins and make some noise in  regards into its existence.

There would be considerations that he might be the next Pacquiao just like on what stomachgrowls said.

What Pacquiao did is an tough act to follow, and when we say that he's probably going closer to what Pacquiao has achieved might need for him to have more fights, I mean more fights from a remarkable and elite fighters. However, I agree that he's an underrated Filipino fighter like what the other says, he only needs to beat more opponents and improve.
Though he's 29 but he still has a lot of years to be more successful than what he had right now.
Pacquiao's career began booming after he defeat and dominated Barerra and he was 28 by that time.

You can tell already the difference between Pacquiao and the current popular boxing in the Philippines, and personally, I would say that no one is close to Pacquiao's skills and they'll never become an 8th division champion or even just 5th division champion. However it should not stop them from fighting as that makes the Filipino boxing proud and they bring glory to the country.

It's not that simple. The fight is just postponed, not canceled. A boxer can't just accept another offer until an official announcement is released and legalized.

Let's talk about that another offer issue if the fight will be canceled for good. As for my own view, the fight will push through. It's not that Japan will not lift its restrictions for several months especially if no such thing as a big alarm regarding the new virus variant.

Let's hope for smooth progress while waiting for the re-schedule date. We don't want another sports lockdown to happen next year.

It's only a rare case when a PH boxer can adopt the challenges in the pound for pound. Excluding Pacquiao, almost all caliber PH boxers stay only within the same weight class. The reason is, it's the limit for a Filipino Boxer and that's the fact. Pacquiao just becomes different because it's really destined that his body can surpass the supposed limit he should just fight. His experience that started from a very young age contributes to the capability of his body to step up within a much higher weight class.

Sorry but currently, no active PH boxers can have the same steps with Pacquiao. That boxer is not born yet. Ancajas, Gaballo, Magsayo, Casimero, or anyone else, will just dominate their respective weight class but no way they can be pound-for-pound boxers like Pacquiao.

I agree with this and also people or the fans would be the ones to notice it if there would be someone would able to follow the steps on what Pacquiao
had able to achieved and going for 8 world divisions is something  that cant really be easily achieved.If Ancajas would at least tend to step
on higher divisions and get those belts then he might be the potential one that follows Manny.

It's because Manny is just one of a kind the last great Pinoy p4p is Flash Elorde in the 60's and then Manny is 2000's. So it's just like one coming in every 50 years or so.

No disrespect to the boxers you mentioned they are all good in their own right because they are all champions but there's only one Manny Pacquiao is Philippine boxing or even in the boxing world. It's hard to duplicate what he has done in the sports.

I also have to agree. Our rising stars will just probably stay in their current division. If there's a possibility to move up, only a single division up and that's their final division, or maybe will revert back to their comfort zone. Manny Pacquiao is the only boxer that surpasses the weight division that a Filipino boxer can. It's a blessing for him as in terms of bodybuilding, we have limits as mentioned above. Unlike in European or Western countries, a baby has a chance to bout at the heavyweight class in the future, with or without forcing it to happen. We didn't even think that someday famous boxers like Oscar Dela Hoya, Shane Mosley, Ricky Hatton, will be faced by a Filipino boxer and even knocking them out.

Nonito Donaire, John Riel Casimero, Brian Viloria are some of the examples of those Filipino Boxers who are popular and the best "only" on their respective divisions.

^^ Right, there's a lot of good Filipino boxers, but Pacman is just above the rest of them. Not just inside the ring, but outside he has accomplished so much for the Philippines helping people and becoming a Senator.

Going back to the topic, Ancajas should be really sharp in this fight. 100% full and dedicated to training and even if the fight is push through he shouldn't lost focus on his Japanese opponent because Ioka is also very solid all around. I do hope that this fight will happen, this is going to be the biggest test on Ancajas and we wanted to see if he can pass it.

We all know that Ancajas is one of those Filipino great boxers of all time.
In this fight ancajas trained well because Loka is not just easy to beat and we all know that Loka has a strategic plan for his opponent, he is not greedy in terms of fighting. This is a challenging fight to ancajas.
In ancajas side I think he have a chance to win this fight,  all he need is to study the moves of loka then he must not greedy and prepare for a big counter punch.

So far, we haven't heard any Filipino boxers that can be compared like the speed and have a strong left punch like Manny Pacquiao because this is where Pacquiao has been known. There's a lot of good Filipino boxers, like Nonito Donaire, Casimero, Gaballo, and others and they have their own kind of game when they are inside the ring. About Anjacas I am referring to this fight record I think this rising fighter has a lot of potentials that can offer all throughout his career.

Does the betting odds of this upcoming fight are already out?

FYI, this fight is postponed because of Japan's strict safety and health protocol, so there will be no odds yet for this fight.

All we have to discuss is to speculate as who is going to win or whether Ancajas will have to seek other opponents next year as we don't know when is Japan going to allowed the fight to be held in their country. But I'm thinking that's better for Ancajas though to wait for everything to settled down and fight Ioka, just saying.

It's just postponed but it will certainly happen by next year. This is a unification fight if I'm not mistaken, so this fight is really interesting as whoever wins this fight will boost a boxer's chance to be popular and get bigger fights in the future, my bet or our bet is Ancajas.

I think this fight has been postponed already because this will took place on New Year's Eve at Tokyo, Japan. And the Japanese government has issued ban on international flights to Japan and closing it's borders because of the omnicron variant. Just like Murata vs GGG, there's no schedule yet of when does the Japan will open again. But maybe sometime in the 1st quarter of January. I know it's frustrating because we already anticipated to watch this fight on this very month.

I think we all understand that this is something the government has decided to do to protect their population and we respect it, but still as fans of boxing we are also disappointed, after all a lot of time passed before we could see good fights due to the pandemic and now it seems that we are bound to see something like what we are seeing at Japan happen again all over the world, since it is impossible that this new strain is going to be contained and most likely it is already infecting people all over the world.

That's what I'm also trying to point out, we as fans are also disappointed by the cancellation of the fight because we wanted to see this fight as we anticipated that it will be an action pack match. And we all thought that the virus effect to us has subsided because majority has taken a jab although we are not 100% protected. And then came the new variant that ruin everything again. Hopefully though, it will still happen next year so all we can do is wait for it.

I have doubts on the Senator part, I mean he has the highest absences back when he was still a Senator so I don't see how he is helping the people. Ancajas is on another level though, I mean he has only 1 lose and it's a close one too and around 20+ of his wins were by KO so I don't see how he is going to be losing in this one.
