Media Gane training with french olympic boxing team

[spinup]

Short footage of Ciryl Gane sparring Murad Aliev, HW boxer, recently qualified for the Tokyo Olympics.



I expect boxing will be key to his next fight. Volkov's kicking game and grappling are solid and will be hard to exploit, but he is vulnerable in boxing exchanges.

Future HW champ is coming.

Are French as good in boxing as in war fighting?

 

[AtaTheCrow]

Future Champ... and i believe that we are going to jinx it

if they were, they'd be the best boxers.

"According to British historian Niall Ferguson, France is the most successful military power in history. "

Definitely the next contender. But Ngannous freakish power will negate whatever skill this guy possesses. Gane will dance around and outstrike him but all Ngannou needs is one punch.

 

[The Eagle]

Volkov will murder him.

 

[Street Samurai]

Volkov will murder him.

Agreed. Im far from sold on Gane

The current HW Olympic champion is french. And his (also french) wife is the current LW Olympic champion.

Tony Yoka and Estelle Mossely won the gold medal at the 2016 Olympics, at SuperHW and Woman lightweight. In the history of the boxing Olympic France is 11th in number of medal (out of 197 country), so France is not USA, Great Britain or Cuba but it is still good at boxing.

I'm looking at those olympic ranking and i notice Mexico is ranked 25. I'm a total boxing casual, but isn't it surprising ? I thought Mexico was a boxing powerhouse.

Edit : @spinup beat me to it

Yeah, you said the same before he fought Rozenstruik. How did that go?

Theres a lot of difference between pro and amateur boxing. Mexico is a power house in pro boxing.

As for french in pro boxing, they are rather poor. They used to have top level boxers, but sincce 2000, the only ones i can think off that were considered threats in their division are mormeck and tiozzo (I'm sure a missing a few though)

Rozenstruik put 500.000 people to sleep with that fight, too abd Gane wasn't one of them

Yeah that's what i thought but it is because of the rule set that make mexican "style" inadapted in Olympic boxing or because Mexican just don't go into amateur boxing ?

A point fight?

Bit of both. They tend to have a more brawling style which doesn't translate very well in amateur boxing, and since they are rather poor, the best talent prefer to turn pro and make money at an early age rather than "waste" time in the amateur. For example, Chavez, canelo, cuevas, sanchez, barrera and morales all started their pro career before reaching 18 yo (in cuevas case he was 14)

Ubervolk about to derail the hype train.

wont help the point fighter against the wrath of Francis

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

HW is picking up a bit finally. Its still not great but at least the old dinosaurs have been pretty much wiped out by now.

Yes because unlike Volkov, Gane did not shit the bed in the last 10s of oupointing a KO machine.

The Volkov bandwagon will go down in flames in 3 weeks. He'll have to expand his back tatoo even further to come back in the cage.
