alexander but that didn't take son has seen the rockin on we bring in robert
axl the editor in chief a boxing dot com robert let me ask you missing rock
monies thirty nine years old he is for some reason
no mandatory challenger albeit he is unbeaten in his last for flights why
exactly is he the mandatory challenger
or a younger
undefeated fighter
i think he's feet mandatory charger for the seem reasons that alexander
protecting our proposal
he is the deputy as a regular heavyweight champion of a sort of a
bogus title
uh... in getting him about bogus site all they basically contribute broderick
which goat their super champion title
so it would make sense that uh... a fighter with a bogus
would be spreading hate bogus opponent
let's make sure i'll play devil's advocate here for a moment
is it it doesn't pull in the cold
metallicity is undefeated we were talking yesterday and you
reference the fight against
markle hawk
uh... what flaws did you see which by the way was a controversial wind
in favor of alexander for that can obviously he's still undefeated
what's laws did you see into that can scheme that rock mountain possibly if he
could
town on
i see two things as seem to be most significant one it is
perfecting stamina or lack thereof
he was breathing heavily really after the first three rounds uh... and marco a
hawk is basically a creature way he was fighting way above as waitresses
first and so far only
plated heavyweight
um... and he basically
he has up to fifteen gasping for air so uh... there's a real issues in terms of
stamina
we honor issues heart that he can be helped
um... he has a kitchen but he can get hit
and iraq mon who'd never relied on steel never lied on speed who gets over these
rugged and i think it's hard
could pose a problem simply because he its heart
um... there's no telling wichita show is going to show up uh... whether it's
whether it's a perfect in rupee respond shortly have or whether it's worth the
predicting who got gifted a decision against marco hock
who saddened that he has problems with conditioning in his breathing very very
heavily and it was evident in that fight
but the debate as an intranet and classism
and it appears at least removed his quotes they have been working on his
conditioning do you think that it'll be a problem at all
with rock mongoose thirty nine years old and from some of them had work that i've
seen in uh... i've seen in his camp
he looks kind of sw
world i mean he looks and he looks like a war doubtfire tend to rock climb
possibly put enough pressure onto that in the slowing down and have been
breathes heavily throughout the site
drop but we're going to turn in the far right out of those are exactly the
questions that everybody fasting
and those are the questions that are going to be answered when the two when
these to cause uh... get along
uh... i don't know that rock won't have much left uh... it but he has won his
lab fighting this fire fights
but they were against uh... people whose names one one would not recognize here
graphic nificant fight
wasn't two thousand eight against roderick which code course hit rock
bottom ted
so uh... i i don't know exactly uh... what kind of condition rock on it and he
came in overweight
came in soft with a belly
uh... so it's not as though he's been training uh... you know training this
save his life
uh... but hopefully he's got off to a bs make this thing competitive
and again note on which particular show that's that's going to be
and that the war that's going to be what would make a difference in the fight
they laid some for david hey in two thousand a when rockman took on blood
work let's go and was just
dismantled pretty much by flood america's cup let me ask you this you
talk about the weight differential as well believe in the way in
uh... rock continent in at two fifty six for that connect to twenty-nine so maybe
the question is we're talking about the beckons conditioning
kick is rock months conditioning up there
are talking so i mean again that's a lot of weight well twenty four bullets i
think it's place too
thirty-eight mandatory picture and luck up to thirty eight
so he's coming your way overweight and holiday unlikely that the way in
um... is not cut he doesn't look as she put all you know he's is going on with
the big belly so it's often the center which doesn't bode well for any body
punches
so i mean
probably cuz were cut out for him uh... energy shame that he's not dignified as
seriously a publisher shame that
that building it's seriously as the fact that he is the mandatory for this w_p_a_
cheaper sees me regular or heavyweight title
provide me with some examples of how is not taking it seriously robert
well if he would be personally wait in his weight is too high alright anybody
who is training for this late seriously will promptly
if you were working regularly ah... with ah... e basically
feedback
training running
the medicine of all of us stomach ibn basically he would be in better
condition than beef
critical even reverses and looked at that but we can better condition but he
had looks as though he has to train for the fight
and yet his manager said he's been treating rock climbers
he would look as though he were in shape for the fight
if he were and shape for the fight any don't look that way so i'd come assuming
it's not cheap
the work listens very robert he had an interesting quote
previewing in giving his take on the flight no fight at this level as easy
but i know that i am a hundred percent prepare
and so i am supporting winds confident
the fight will not go the distance i will ko
so that uh... strong words from housing brockman one thing that could be holding
back is that his trainer will not be their is it
head trainer as it is the stuff of muhammad because of passport issues so
his strength and conditioning coach rodney chris or will be in the corner
how much of a distraction is this did not have your
head trainer in the corner with you in a big fight like this
it's got to be a distraction there's no question about it
but again iraq mon his gift is that he is strong he is rugged
for a decade of milk which go up with their worlds apart terms of in terms of
what to do with what they are as fighters
so rock moscow departures chance of one sort of
he's going to the fight with that i can make it we we're going to several blocks
displayed what about the fight
also going to live with that idea that rock mom have departures track
the site is at four thirty p_m_ eastern time on saturday in hamburg germany you
can find it on tactics eats the and at that states the dot com
you're taking robert on this fight connecting is making his third title
defense
icm rock money gained coming in at a large two hundred and fifty six pounds
for this fight what's your take on it who do you have winning
i have to reckon winning but i think it other coast the distance republicans
stop some weight
maybe in the tenth round i was going to say to that sinn fein tail honey that
was my tennis on my hand so said it's uh... i have to that's in winning by ko
