Vasil Ducár, the best Czech boxer of today, fought a fierce battle for the WBA belt with the defending champion Mike Perez on Saturday evening. He did not enter the penultimate round due to an eye injury. After the match, coach Michal Vančura admitted that Ducár’s opponent showed extra boxing at the world level, so after an agreement with Vasil he preferred to throw a towel in the ring so as not to risk a 3-6 month distance if his client lost KO.
Ducar endured ten rounds with his Cuban opponent in the ring, during which he received a blow to the eye, which caused him a laceration. In the tenth round, it even looked like the match would end, because the Czech opponent was counted, but he got up and boxed the round. But it didn’t go any further.
“We interrupted the match because it was no longer worth it. Perez probably won all the rounds for points and still looked pretty fresh, so we risked just KO, which would mean at least a three-month or even six-month distance from the match for Vasil, so he doesn’t have it at all. Vasil told himself about it, even if he didn’t, we would probably throw a towel in the ring in the next round, “ coach Michal Vančura explained after the match, who did not fail to appreciate Perez’s indisputable qualities.
“It’s extremely difficult against Perez, he’s an extreme boxer. He’s a world number 15, but only because he was out of the game for a while. I think he’s in the top five in the world. I think he’ll hold on again in time. “The world title, even though he is old. His boxing is incredible, he was very well prepared for Vasil.” Vanchur noticed.
“The match was influenced by Perez’s experience and also by the cut from the edge of the match, perhaps in the twentieth second. he showed extra boxing at the world level, I don’t think any of the Czech boxers got to such a boxer for a long time. The last time maybe was Ruda Kraj, who boxed for the WBC title. concluded the coach of the Czech boxing number one.
This is how Vasil Ducár trained just before the duel:
