Transcript
00:00before the limit and the only seven wins of which one before the limit with two draws
00:07he presents himself with the right pick to be a great test bench for our
00:13charlemagne metonieck pon who comes from castelfidado obviously in black pants
00:21is native to benin metonieck pon and is naturalized Italian lives in
00:31Castelfidardo among other things is the homeland of phisarmonic and therefore
00:37evidently has also developed a sort of sensitivity as regards
00:45training and with the presence of music. There are eight recordings, they are
00:53international tests and we will follow them. Not before having said that metonieck pon has 13
01:00victories of which one before the limit and a single defeat. Reading these data it seems
01:07that neither of them has a fist. But it certainly seems the opposite, metonieck pon is very
01:18rocky physically. Here is the left now. Indeed, one would expect that he would have many victories for
01:26kpon. And instead no, and instead no, one only. Very powerful physically. Very powerful, however,
01:32on the scale they have recorded 64.8 kg metonieck pon and 64.7 kg Ivan Petrov. As far as the referee is concerned,
01:43he is the very experienced and experienced Marco Marzuoli.
01:55While the director, we remember him, is Fabio Calabro.
02:02Now is the moment when Petrov, as you can see, despite the referee's stop, continues to hit.
02:10And certainly he has always shown in his young career, because he is 27 years old,
02:16indeed they are more or less the same age, 28, metonieck pon, great character and courage.
02:27Yes, he didn't really show any reverential fear at the beginning of the meeting.
02:32Now he is trying to force, great edges from our side,
02:41attention to the heads that are going to collide.
02:45Very closed in the guard, metonieck pon. And Petrov's right mount surprises him, body to body.
03:05And they are beaten 10 seconds at the end of this first round.
03:13And we are going to hear the corner, of course, of metonieck pon.
03:18Among other things, his name is Nopo Maggio Charlemagne metonieck pon.
03:27Nice character, Petrov, Davide.
03:29Yes, absolutely.
03:30Nice character, at the end of the round.
03:32Let's hear the corner of metonieck pon.
03:36You put it here, ok?
03:39When you go away, don't think about the changes, you have to be fast.
03:44When you attack, the changes have to be fast.
03:47Because the faster you are, the more you have to make the changes.
03:49When you go away, don't think about the changes.
03:51The changes have to be fast.
03:53Ok?
03:54We have heard the indications of the corner.
03:58We have heard them at low volume.
04:02There is obviously music, there is a lot of confusion tonight,
04:05as it is in all the palaces during the night of Pugilaro.
04:08But we are sure that the message has arrived at home,
04:13that the master of metonieck pon went after seeing 3 minutes of boxing.
04:22And certainly Ivan Petrov moves a lot,
04:25and as Patrizio Oliva said, he also has a great character.
04:32Yes, metonieck pon is trying to get closer to work on the figure,
04:37but Petrov is smart to move away, not to accept.
04:45He has a good position of the Moldavian.
04:51As a technical attack, crossing the right.
04:54Petrov, yes.
04:56Petrov still has the right under the hook.
05:13Petrov loves to change guards.
05:18Yes, it is a good position, but it is a school position.
05:24It is typical of the Eastern countries.
05:37Petrov has also shown in his career,
05:41we repeat it again, 9 defeats, 1 before the limit.
05:47And it could have been caused even by injury.
05:51We do not know, we can not go too far back in his career.
05:56And this means that he can also boast a good resistance to blows.
06:04Good action now of metonieck pon.
06:08Difficult name to pronounce.
06:12Metonieck pon.
06:15Anyway, alias Charlie, if you prefer, everyone calls him Charlie.
06:22So you can call him Charlie.
06:29The referee intervenes to separate them from the clinch.
06:34And Petrov resumes.
06:40To have held out too long.
06:45He tries with a good left.
06:49Then the answer of metonieck pon, the right.
06:54And attention to the heads.
06:58It becomes difficult to hit Petrov, because he is much faster than metonieck pon.
07:04Because he is rigid.
07:06Exactly. Petrov is very agitated.
07:09And also from the expression, sometimes it shows that he is almost having fun boxing.
07:15At times he seems almost infuriated and euphoric.
07:19He is much faster.
07:20Full of adrenaline.
07:21He is much faster, so he hits him.
07:23The other, instead, as if he wanted to hit him hard.
07:26So he stiffens up and can not hit him.
07:29And so, let's listen.
07:31You talk a lot about Davo, right?
07:33No, I was talking about metonieck pon.
07:36Let's go to the tree.
07:38Yes, yes.
07:53To make the blows work inside the guard of metonieck pon.
07:57And therefore without the external edges.
08:00Instead, he has a nice meeting dress.
08:03Yes.
08:06Yes.
08:13Let's say the third shot of the eight foreseen.
08:19Charlemagne, metonieck pon against Ivan Petrov.
08:24Nice combination with three hands.
08:29With three shots, or better, because the hands ...
08:31Patrizio, you teach me, there are two left.
08:35With three shots.
08:39It would be penalized, a rifle with three hands.
08:48The guard changes constantly and this further disorients metonieck pon.
08:54Which, as you rightly noticed, is very granitic.
08:57But for this reason he is a bit machine-like in his action.
09:00Yes.
09:01Since he is faster in movement, he always manages to do it better.
09:07See how he gets rid of it right away.
09:17And what should metonieck pon do in this circumstance?
09:20Montante in tanto, montante destro.
09:22But look at the reaction.
09:24Nice exchange for both.
09:26He must bring it to the ropes.
09:28It is the left that must try to hinder him, to bring it to the ropes.
09:33And when it comes to the ropes, he must not let it out.
09:35He must not give the other the opportunity to take off the ropes.
09:40But given his mobility, maybe it would be even better than the ropes, the angle.
09:44The angle, the angle, above all the angle.
09:53Here, he shows that he has a job, Petrov.
09:55Hey, full left hook!
09:57On the temple.
09:59A bit inside the box, I must say.
10:05See, this should be done by bringing it to the corner.
10:08He should bring those blows if he brings it to the corner.
10:12What is he doing now in the center of the ring?
10:14It would be difficult for Petrov to absorb those blows.
10:25Come on, Petrov!
10:28Indomitable, Petrov.
10:42He says, he is turning, he is turning.
10:46Yes, he is really a master.
10:55See, how he stops.
10:59Metoniekpon manages to bring those blows underneath.
11:13Now we will return to Metoniekpon's angle, of course.
11:25That's it.
11:28Boom, boom, boom, as he comes to you, take a step back.
11:32Don't take a step back, Gianni.
11:34Because when you want to take a step back, you have to manage it.
11:38And you have to take a step back.
11:41Boom, boom, boom, as he comes to you, take a step back.
11:49Don't put it on the ground.
11:51Stop looking for it.
11:54As he comes to you, take a step back.
11:56Manage it.
11:58That's it.
12:00Do it, Gianni, do it.
12:02Don't do it, guys.
12:04Think about it.
12:06As he comes to you, take a step back.
12:10So, we listened to Metoniekpon's master.
12:14He told us to bring the blow and then take a step back.
12:18But do you think he has a step back?
12:20I have the impression that Metoniekpon doesn't have a step back in his chords.
12:27But he is his master.
12:29He knows the characteristics.
12:31To see him like this, with his physical characteristics,
12:33this slowness of movements, I have the impression that he doesn't have it anymore.
12:40Let's see.
12:42He anticipates it with his left foot, Petrov.
12:45There are 8 shots in total.
12:47We are in the middle of the 4th shot.
12:49So far, I have to say that our player has not done incredible things.
12:55He has scored some great shots, like this circumstance.
12:59But he can't trust to go on like this,
13:03trying to win the shot.
13:07Davide, is Petrov hot?
13:12He is hot, Petrov.
13:15He understood that if he works on the speed of his movements,
13:19he won't make it difficult for him.
13:23Or, if he is forced to do it, he will keep it.
13:32Santoni took another shot,
13:34full of left hook.
13:36It wasn't a powerful shot.
13:38It was a second slap.
13:40So, we can say that Petrov can keep having fun.
13:44Now, right hook.
13:46This was a nice shot.
13:48Mettoni-Ekpon.
13:50To convince the judges.
13:52He crossed it with a right, on Petrov's left.
13:56And he doubled it with a left.
13:59Now he managed to anticipate it.
14:01Great shot by Mettoni-Ekpon.
14:03Petrov is starting to get tired.
14:05Nice right hook by Mettoni-Ekpon.
14:11He has to keep doing this.
14:13He has to get closer and hit it.
14:21If he had that step back on the ropes,
14:25you can see how close he pushes Petrov.
14:27If he takes a step back, he will fall.
14:29He could hit him with a nice right hook.
14:31But he doesn't have it.
14:33He can't do it.
14:35Petrov is much faster than Mettoni-Ekpon.
14:4330 seconds left until the end of the round.
14:51Great shot this time.
14:53He faked a right and hit it with a left hook.
14:58He faked a right and hit it with a left hook.
15:04Maybe he won't have that step back.
15:06But he has some good solutions.
15:08He is trying to hit Petrov with hard shots.
15:11It's the best thing.
15:23It's over.
15:25It's over.
15:27We are still at Petrov's corner.
15:33Let's see the master.
15:37Throw your head forward to him.
15:39If you fall, he will grab you.
15:41He will hit you in the head.
15:45You have to bend your legs.
15:47When you pull him out,
15:49he will try to counter you.
15:51You have to trick him
15:53so that he will throw and then hit you.
15:55Do you understand?
15:57Just pull him out.
15:59Don't go back.
16:01From what I've heard at Petrov's corner,
16:05more than technical or tactical recommendations,
16:09he is simply trying to not take shots,
16:13to turn, to do some action.
16:17The long step at Petrov's legs is also significant.
16:24At Petrov's corner,
16:26they did what they could do.
16:28Yes, but that's what Petrov is doing.
16:30He doesn't want to stop near Metonnikopov,
16:34because the shots will hurt him.
16:38We are at the 5th round.
16:405th round.
16:52From this moment on,
16:54we will always listen to Metonnikopov's corner.
17:03He has to bring him to the ropes.
17:05He doesn't have to stay in the middle of the ring.
17:08Metonnikopov has to force him
17:10to go to the ropes and to the corner.
17:18At the middle of the ring,
17:20Petrov is faster.
17:22You see, he manages to trick him.
17:25But if he goes to the corner,
17:27he can't do it.
17:29And think, Patrizio,
17:31that the greatest Pugilato matches
17:33we have seen in the past century
17:35were mostly played in the middle of the ring.
17:41But with this characteristic of the three Pugilatos,
17:45Metonnikopov has to stop him
17:47to get the best of him.
17:49He has to stop him.
17:51That's where he has to hit.
17:53He doesn't have to let himself get caught.
17:55And the other one is clever.
17:57He understood that he wanted to close the corner.
17:59Patrizio, on the fact that Petrov
18:01is cunning and cunning,
18:04there is no doubt,
18:06we understood it right away.
18:08Now he tries to cross the left.
18:14Then he does a bit of melina
18:16and invites Metonnikopov.
18:18Now he has him at the corner.
18:20Now he should have the courage
18:22not to let him go out,
18:24but above all to bring the combination.
18:26Instead he let him go out again.
18:28He was too far away.
18:30He had to stay closer.
18:32Exactly.
18:34He had to take a few direct shots
18:36to be able to place Montanti.
18:38He didn't start directly with Montanti.
18:40Of course.
18:56Metonnikopov's right is full.
18:58There is the difference
19:00in the speed of the movements.
19:02Another right.
19:04Petrov doesn't let himself be found.
19:06But our shots
19:08don't have a great effect.
19:10He doesn't have a very heavy fist.
19:12Yes, because they are slow,
19:14they are rocky,
19:16so it inhibits the speed
19:18when you put too much force in the shots.
19:20Muscular pressure, probably.
19:22We'll see officially now.
19:24An official call
19:26means
19:28a negative shot
19:30and it's over.
19:32But from how he smiles,
19:34from how he's having fun,
19:36it's clear.
19:38He did what he could
19:40in the first 3-4 rounds.
19:42Then his presence here
19:44was to create
19:46a sort of test bench
19:48for the players
19:50to be able to
19:53see what they can do.
19:55Metonnikopov is growing
19:57in his career.
19:5913 wins,
20:011 loss,
20:03he's investing
20:05in himself.
20:07He's muscular, he's complete,
20:09he has a good technique,
20:11but he's not fast.
20:13While Ivan Petrov is well-positioned,
20:15he's lacking in defense.
20:17We've often seen him
20:19go with the lowest guard
20:21against shots,
20:23even though he's very mobile.
20:25His attitude, his character
20:27is that of a fighter.
20:29Metonnikopov's problem
20:31is that he doesn't use
20:33his chest when he shoots.
20:35He only uses his arms.
20:37Exactly.
20:39So he's not very effective.
20:41Pay attention.
20:43He doesn't use his chest, he uses his arms.
20:45Paradoxically,
20:47it's a job that Petrov
20:49has done a long time ago.
20:51He works with his arms,
20:53but he uses his chest.
21:05High guard
21:07for Moldavov.
21:09He constantly
21:11kicks him.
21:13Metonnikopov
21:15has a good
21:18technique,
21:20but unfortunately
21:22his shots are not powerful.
21:24We remember that
21:26he's a 10-11 fighter
21:28with a heavy guard.
21:30In other circumstances,
21:32you would have heard
21:34a shot like this.
21:36Instead,
21:38the two
21:40continue
21:42in an infinite clinch
21:44sought by Moldavov.
21:46Petrov
21:48continues to do this until the end of April.
21:50But you understand that by doing this,
21:52the other one is in trouble,
21:54because he can't move his arms.
21:58Again,
22:00now.
22:04Petrov
22:06is also a replicant.
22:12You see, it's just an arm shot.
22:14The chest never rotates.
22:16So the power
22:18is reduced
22:20by 70%.
22:28This can be seen in the straight shots
22:30and in the hooks
22:32and in the mounts.
22:34Instead, he tries to activate
22:36the kinetic chain.
22:44Of course,
22:46it's exhausting
22:48and very difficult
22:50to do 8 shots
22:52where at least half of them
22:54are clinched.
22:56It's more difficult to clinch
22:58than to deliver the shots.
23:00Because you take all the weight
23:02of the opponent's body.
23:04So it's very difficult.
23:06It's not a good match,
23:08the one we're watching,
23:10but it's not even...
23:12It's not because of Metoni and Capone.
23:14No, no, absolutely not.
23:16But it's not complex.
23:18It's an acceptable match.
23:20A match with which
23:22we can warm up this ring
23:24tonight.
23:26It's very important for the Italian Pugilati
23:28because Michael Magnesi,
23:30as we said in the opening,
23:32will face the Japanese Rikishi.
23:34He's a tough opponent.
23:36Probably the most challenging
23:38test bench
23:41in Magnesi's career.
23:43He's prepared
23:45perfectly
23:47for all the time
23:49under the supervision
23:51of his coach,
23:53Silvio Branco.
23:55But not only that.
23:57Because
23:59from Belgium
24:01Jonathan Malley
24:03has arrived,
24:05another coach
24:07who has taken care
24:09of the strategy,
24:11a bit of technique,
24:13a bit of figure.
24:15So he has done a bit of refinement.
24:17He has basically given a hand.
24:19And to hear
24:21Silvio Branco say
24:23that he has never been
24:25in such a good shape,
24:27we hope
24:29that he can really get up
24:31on the ring
24:33and defend the best
24:35against the dangerous
24:37Rikishi in his title.
24:39Let's go on
24:41with Charlemagne
24:43and Ivan Petrov.
24:49Two last shots.
24:57You said it right.
24:59It's a
25:01not a nice match,
25:03but not bad either.
25:06What's here?
25:08A ribbon
25:10slightly detached
25:12from the glove's wrist.
25:14It's the sweat.
25:16Yes, but it's a small piece
25:18of ribbon.
25:22So
25:24you take it off
25:26and add another fresh ribbon
25:28and you get it back.
25:30But
25:32these are
25:34good matches
25:36at Mettoni and Kohn
25:38because
25:40you need
25:42such
25:44clumsy,
25:46clumsy,
25:48cunning opponents.
25:50That's how you grow.
25:52You have to constantly
25:54change your style
25:56when you face opponents.
25:58That's how you grow.
26:00Do you remember
26:02an opponent of yours
26:04who was similar to Petrov?
26:06He was a bit clumsy
26:08and cunning.
26:10He knew a lot.
26:12Yes, but I didn't
26:14run away from him.
26:16Everyone
26:18tried to mess up the match
26:20because I was too technical.
26:22The only weapon they had
26:24was to mess up the match.
26:26Anyway,
26:28it's a downhill road
26:30to Mettoni and Kohn
26:32which,
26:34as you said,
26:36comes from Castelfidardo.
26:38Did you know that Castelfidardo
26:40is the city of the Philharmonic?
26:42No.
26:44You didn't know?
26:46No, I didn't.
26:48So, someone like you
26:50who plays on stage
26:52and sings
26:55I have to say yes
26:57because we are on TV.
26:59Yes, you have to say yes.
27:01The sincerity
27:03is the best thing.
27:05Anyway,
27:07it's true.
27:09It's a country
27:11with a wonderful tradition
27:13of music
27:15but especially of the Philharmonic
27:17where
27:19the best instruments
27:21are born.
27:23Good.
27:25Very good.
27:27Even Petrov
27:29approved
27:31three precise
27:33and straight shots.
27:35By the way,
27:37maybe you heard
27:39this.
27:53There is a risk
27:55to make an 8th shot
27:57laughing for both of them.
27:59It's a shot
28:01which, unfortunately,
28:03doesn't know how
28:05to take it down.
28:07It's fine like this.
28:09But Mettoni and Kohn
28:11are having fun.
28:13They made a great restart.
28:15Let's listen to him.
28:178th shot.
28:19You won.
28:21At least he's not laughing.
28:23Come on.
28:25Put it all in.
28:27Is it OK?
28:29Yes.
28:31They were trying to break it.
28:33Put it all in.
28:35Three shots.
28:37And then you tie it.
28:39The other way around.
28:41Three shots and then you tie it.
28:43The other way around.
28:45OK?
28:48Did you hear that?
28:50Yes.
28:52Great advice
28:54from
28:56Mettoni
28:58and Kohn.
29:00He said
29:02try not to break
29:04the clinch.
29:06Now the match is won.
29:18Let's start
29:20the 8th round.
29:22What we like is
29:24the energy
29:26and the desire to fight
29:28from both of them.
29:30Good energy reserves
29:32because it's the 8th round
29:34and they spent a lot of energy.
29:36But we can see that the pace
29:38is still good.
29:40Pay attention to the heads.
29:48It's a nice match
29:50between Petrov and Kohn.
29:52Yes.
29:54Technically
29:56Mettoni
29:58and Kohn
30:00scored two points.
30:02They are well-positioned
30:04and complete
30:06in the technique.
30:08They can bring
30:10every shot in the right way.
30:12The problem is that
30:14as you said for Kohn
30:16and Petrov
30:18there is not
30:20this famous chain
30:22that is set up
30:24from the tip of the foot
30:26that extends the leg
30:28and simultaneously the rotation of the body.
30:30A shot hurts
30:32when the chain is complete.
30:34Yes, I know.
30:36The union makes the force.
30:38These muscle groups
30:40that we put together.
30:42You said
30:44that you are an international instructor
30:46among the many titles you have.
30:48We know
30:50and it's true.
30:52But
30:54in today's tournament
30:56wide shots are very important.
30:58Yes, a lot.
31:00Everyone likes the high shot.
31:02The high shot
31:04is Tyson's shot.
31:06Tyson ruined an entire generation
31:08because
31:10he brought the power
31:12of the mount
31:14to the high shot.
31:16But Tyson had an explosive force.
31:18Yes, it's a first-rate technique
31:20to do those things.
31:22Sure.
31:24Tyson's hooks were powerful
31:26because they were closed
31:28so there was
31:30the maximum power.
31:32The narrower the hook,
31:34the more it hurts.
31:36When you widen the angle of the arm too much
31:38the shot does not hurt.
31:41Have you ever seen
31:43the ballerino
31:45get the maximum power
31:47when he does the high shot?
31:49When he closes himself.
31:51Sure.
31:53And speed.
31:57Have you seen
31:59Tyson's sparring
32:01this week?
32:03Have you seen it?
32:05No?
32:07He is in good shape.
32:09The match
32:11between Petrov and Metonik Ponna
32:13ends here.
32:15The result is a draw.
32:19The two Pugini
32:21had fun.
32:23I think the audience
32:25had fun too.
32:27We have also seen
32:29a good unboxing.
32:31As a start
32:33there was nothing
32:35to say.
32:37Let's go
32:39to the
32:41most important things.
32:43Why?
32:45Because when a title is on the table
32:47the game
32:49becomes more than serious.
32:51And the title
32:53that we will follow
32:55right after the verdict
32:57is not even a sign.
32:59He got it.
33:01He knows how to accompany them.
33:03They are not powerful shots.
33:05Not even a red card.
33:07So
33:09the Italian title
33:11weighs more
33:13than the event
33:15tonight
33:17against
33:19Masanori Rikishi.
33:27I ask
33:29Fabio Calabro
33:31to confirm
33:34that we are waiting
33:36for the verdict
33:38and then we will probably
33:40enter
33:42on the anthem
33:44of the Italian
33:46women's title
33:48between Alessia Bitanza
33:50and Jessica Bellucci.
33:58These guys don't want to leave.
34:00Metonik Ponna
34:02They added some tape
34:04and they welded it.
34:06Now the
34:08ties are
34:10stuck.
34:12They are not cut
34:14but they are detached.
34:16Usually we see
34:18that everything is cut
34:20and then
34:22the tie
34:24is put back on.
34:26Here we have to
34:28save it.
34:32Charlie
34:34Metonik Ponna
34:36Charlie Metonik Ponna
34:38wins
34:40as usual.
