Topic: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 - page 8. (Read 3590 times)

Yup! no time to dwell with that past mistakes but more into moving forward in finding the betterment of Ancajas fighting plan on his upcoming rematch against Martinez, more on how they will bring good sparring to practice and perfect the plan that they wanted to execute, you said it right Martinez is no longer a mystery and that last lost will give Ancajas additional inspiration to do better, though it was the belt/title that cause that one for him but he have his chance now to bounce back and re-try to win it back.


I believe as well,, he did manage to survive though he lost it but absorbing those solid punches he can take it and if he can counter and throw solid punches, I see that he will have a better chance.

Ancajas already has a new nutritionist, let us wait and see how does this new nutritionist enable Ancajas to solve his weight problem and at the same time nourish him back after the weigh-in.

Ancajas indeed see how Martinez work, I believe Ancajas can absorb Martinez's strong punches without any problem, we have seen it in their first match.  Now all Ancajas need to do is not to get in a brawl and use his jobs and straight frequently.  I don't know if Ancajas has the power to knock out Martinez but Ancajas must outpunch Martinez and dictate the tempo of the fight.  Ancajas is taller and probably has a longer reach, so he should use that to his advantage.

Martinez is not a mystery anymore for Ancajas as the latter already fought him during their first encounter but unfortunately, unlocking that mystery is an expensive move because it cost Ancajas his belt. There have been some reasons why Ancajas failed to defend that belt but they should move on and the camp should make some way to keep the Filipino boxer fit and healthy as I know that this time he will defeat Martinez.

That is his biggest challenge because his enemy is also his own self, might be hard to do but he don't have that much choice as he needed overcome his current situation if he doesn't want to climb another division and leave what he started in 115 pounds. And if by fortunate chance Ancajas will have no troubles this time then I believe that there's no barrier anymore that is holding him to defeat Martinez and he will be crowned as IBF champion again.

If that will indeed happen soon then yes, I also agree with that, Ancajas has no reasons to stay in super-fly and he should move to bantamweight to test his skills, that way he will not having some struggle on his weight again but the catch is he have to defeat the challenges in bantamweight. Anyway, I still believe that Ancajas and his team can make it work so that the Filipino boxer can settle his score against Martinez.

Ancajas already taste those solid punches from Martinez and he manage to survive till the last round, if he is able to maintain his weight and continue to have a good training predations the chance of winning is possible, it's just a matter of adjusting with how your opponents fight, he might not be too much exhausted this time as he has a condition of health and his sparrings will help him to adjust with how he will react to each possible attack from Martinez.

Expect a good counter and solid throwing of continuous punches and not just to cover and try to counter, but also to create the attempts of attacking and boxing Martinez.

Well they should. They already focused on that in this preparation and not doing workouts that much.

If after all that Jerwin Ancajas will still lose after that serious preparation, it does mean that Martinez is really at the highest level.

Ancajas should moved up now.

Ok, I got the name,  Bianca Estrella. She should be up par with the job of over seeing everything that Jerwin is putting in his mouth. Not just to be able to control his weight, but the proper combination of vitamins and mineral and nutrients so that he will be in his optimum in this fight.


Yes, hopefully, we will expect a 100% conditioned Jerwin in the rematch, again, no more excuses or what not. They have narrow it down but went wrong during the first fight. So it's just a matter of careful planning and adjustment. He was the clear favorite, and I think he will still be slight the betting favorite in the rematch. He should be around his fighting weight by now, it's just 3 weeks and probably getting as much as sparring as they can.

Technically, boxing is all about weight. That's the requirement. There's no such thing that they will focus on their ideal weight if they want to climb ranks at different divisio. They need to follow the required weight at each division they will stepped-in.

On what you mentioned about speed, it depends now on their training to boost their capability.

Yes, he has. It was on the news I think last month.

They hired a new nutritionist as they want to focus on Ancajas' diet compare to what the camp did which they overtrained Ancajas just to reach the required weight. It's like they will balance his training regime and won't focus more on physical activities but rather on controlling what he eats.

With that relax and balanced training, Ancajas should be 100% conditioned on the day of the fight.

I think he has nutritionist in his side if I'm not mistaken, but there could be some lapses, maybe in the training or after the weigh in because it wasn't enough for Ancajas to fully restore his body to prime in his fight night. And usually if a boxer gets cramp along the fight, it means he lacks fluid and this might be the case for Jerwin and that's why his performance was lacking, as if it was a different version of him that we are watching. But in can be corrected though, and that is the good thing for him, make the weight and then recover and replenish his body and be 100% against Martinez. Get his belt back, and if in the next fight, he can't make that weight anymore, go to the next and have another goal of winning a belt for his Filipino fans.

If Ancajas doesn't get any trouble in gaining the required weight limit, I am somehow confident that he can win this rematch.  We will see a different Ancajas since he will be fully conditioned and possibly have enough stamina to box until the 12th round.  We have seen the capability of Ancajas to absorb Martinez's punches, so we don't need to worry about that.  Besides, I think Martinez will slug it out again and I believe Ancajas will have a counter strategy for that.

Yup, almost all Filipino fighters/boxers that we knew today came from slums and sought refuge in boxing to make some money from fights to lift their families from poverty and so that they can put food on their table just like the story of Manny Pacquaio when he was still known as Kid Kulafu. Unfortunately, not all of them managed to build their names in the boxing industry because not everyone was born to be a boxer. While others managed to go halfway through the limelight before they got defeated and became unknown again.

As for Ancajas, he has more than enough reasons why he needed to win this fight because his career will go down if he will get defeated again by Martinez. But I believe that this time he can defeat Martinez and maybe he can go fight with Joshua Franco afterwards to claim the WBA belt.

Majority of the Filipinos who go to boxing as a career came from poor families.  Many of them are unable to finish their study making them hard to find a decent office job, so instead of them wasting their talent on some construction sites, they intend to follow the footstep of Manny trying to game fame and riches while giving honor to the country.  Sadly many of them are not as talented as Manny or lucky enough to have a decent manager or promoter.

As for Ancajas, this fight indeed will give him money and if lucky get his title back and have a good chance to fight other popular boxers in his division in his next fight.  From the previous fight, Ancajas can absorb punches from Martinez, it is just he got exhausted in the earlier rounds making him incapable of giving out his full potential.

Well, I can say that if money is the motivation Ancajas will have more reason why he needed to win and take his belt back, remember that both Pacquiao and Donaire came from the same country where Ancajas originate and that kind of fame and flowing money that he witness after the success of these two legendary fighters, he will do everything to reach whatever possibilities that he has.

Though pride still exists with Pinoy fighters, but they come from poor families who's dreaming of a better life and boxing is the only way they know to improve their lifestyle.

It's really a good fight to watch out, few more weeks and we will see the rematch.

Many people are betting that Ancajas has more need to win than Martinez, and since he has more experience and wants to make history again, Matinez is a boxer who has a lot to offer, professional boxing is the best option that has been appreciated for him. be even more professional, one of the things that should move Martinez is that he wants to make a lot of money, he knows that professionally he will get it quickly, with a good fight against Ancajas he can open the doors to fight with much stronger opponents and he can do quick run, then Martinez's motivation is much stronger if we put him on a scale with Ancajas, he wouldn't know who to bet on yet anyway.


I think that one of the things that Ancajas can take advantage of is his strong resistance, but we must take into account that Martinez is a very new boxer and that he does not care about anything, he can very well appeal to go out with everything looking for a knockout against him and does not lose anything, the advantage that Martinez has is his excellent physical condition, and Ancajas can manage the times if and only if he leads Martinez to his times and his rhythm, this is something that Martinez cannot fall, and this is something that Martinez could fail, for me Martinez has a lot of accumulated adrenaline, it is a fight against one of the most veteran boxers, he knows that if he wins he will be crowned one of the best boxers, he will not miss that opportunity.

Well, from what I have read, many are in favor of Ancajas, which is not bad at all, only that you have to take into account the trainer that Martinez has for now, I think that Ancajas holds his weight with ease, but boxing is not just weight, many boxers focus on having the ideal weight to be lighter and have more speed, but here he is facing a Martinez who really wants to win and apart from that he knows the face of money well for everything he can generate with good fights, if he is famous he knows that he can earn money, and I think that money in large amounts does not hurt him, then it is a fact that he will leave with everything.

Hopefully, he will be more prepare compared to their last fight, with enough time to maintain his weight and to have good sets of trainings this upcoming fight would more interesting if Ancajas is inside the ring not just to survive but also to claim back his belt, it's not easy though but Ancajas still have that power and the youth to continue moving forward to this sport.


Yeah, there's no need forced Ancajas unlike with Casimero who needs to go sauna just to lose some weight which is prohibited by the sports official, We might see more aggressive Ancajas now not just to play defense but looking to see more aggressive counter punches and more aggressive position to box Martinez.

Yes agree that Casimero's case is different from Ancajas. Casimero has a medical condition called gastritis, a digestive problem that we all know that it's responsible for properly breaking down foods in our body. That's why even with a proper workout, Casimero's problem is his diet as his body is not cooperating with his target goals.

Ancajas seems doesn't have a medical condition but just struggling to reach the required weight as maybe he is really getting bulky and bigger for his current division. That's why a good nutritionist is necessary and they hired a new one as part of the team that will condition Ancajas until the day of the fight.

I highly agree, that in a match that goes a distance, stamina is the main factor to keep the boxer competitive.  If a boxer is not conditioned due to overtraining, dehydration, and other stuff just to lose weight, his performance is greatly affected. 

During the first match, we see Ancajas in survival mode, he actually tries to survive not to win the fight because of exhaustion.  It is just lucky that Ancajas is a veteran and good fighter that he lasted until the last round.  Hopefully, it will be a different story this rematch.

Do you seriously even know what you are talking about? Of course, he reach the weight but are you aware of the process he went through?

Didn't you know that Ancajas' weight problem resulted in a domino effect and one of them is lack of stamina? He is not well-conditioned during his first match with Martinez because he was overtrained just to reach the weight requirement. Another effect is he loses his power because of an obvious reason that he's not in his usual condition due to the training he went through.

It's easy to gain weight but it's hard to burn them. The weigh-in is the day before the fight. How can your body adjust easily within just a day after the intense workout to burn some fats?
