Souboj Muhammada s Della Maddalenou sice mezi diváky před turnajem příliš zájmu nevzbudil, neboť lístky rozhodně nešly na dračku, přesto se v bojišti rozjela poměrně slušná podívaná. Prvně zmíněný, šampion divize, jenž vstupoval do duelu z pozice favorita, ale hodně rychle přišel na to, že to žádná jednoduchá šichta nebude.

Především mu nefungovaly jeho oblíbené strhy, se soupeřem tak musel stát a rozdat si to v jeho lehce slabší disciplíně. I proto se bitva nakonec protáhla na kompletních pětadvacet minut s tím, že její průběh byl maximálně vyrovnaný, což platilo také z pohledu poškození na hlavách obou bijců, kde nechyběla ani pořádná příměs krve.

Veltrová váha se přesto dočkala nového vládce. Della Maddalena přitom byl předčasnému konci blízko v závěru pátého kola, kdy se rivala snažil umlátit. A byť se to nepovedlo, radost v jeho rohu mohla naplno propuknout o několik minutek později. Šampiona přetlačil na body (48-47, 48-47 a, 49-46). „Je to sakra dobrý pocit. Čekal jsem, že to bude přesně takové,“ povídal vítěz s mikrofonem u úst.

Osmadvacetiletý Australan se tak dočkal svého největšího zářezu za oceánem, kde zatím čeká na premiérovou porážku. Zvítězil i poosmé, přičemž na něj nestačil ani o osm let starší Muhammad, který přišel o šestiletou úctyhodnou sérii bez klopýtnutí. Teď navíc vyvázl i s pořádně pochroumaným obličejem.

Nový král divize do 77 kilogramů dokonce po zápase řekl, že je připraven se poměřit s Rusem Islamem Machačevem, jenž vládne lehké váze. „Byla by to krásná výzva, je to nejlepší chlapík napříč všemi divizemi. Pomstím se za Volka (Alexander Volkanovski),“ věří si Maddalena, jemuž přes sociální sítě za triumf gratuloval i český bijec Jiří Procházka.

Jack Della Maddalena se stal novým šampionem veltrové váhy.

Bojovalo se také o titul mezi ženami. Ten v muší váze dokázala uhájit legendární Ševčenkovová, jenž proti francouzské vyzyvatelce Manon Fiorotové nasázela hned 173 úderů, efektivnější byla také na zemi. V jejím podání se přesto jednalo o nesmírně vydřené vítězství, což se promítlo také na bodových lístcích. (3×48-47).

Jako poražený z klece odešel i jiný věhlasný muž, Brazilec José Aldo. Po těsném bodovém nezdaru nad místním bijcem Aiemannem Zhabim navíc prohlásil, že končí kariéru. „Myslím si, že na to už nemám sílu. Celkově jsem měl za sebou těžký týden. Moje tělo už nechtělo dál shazovat (duel nakonec proběhl ve vyšší váze), což už nechci nadále podstupovat a prožívat. Už to prostě nemám v srdci, dál to už nezvládnu,“ prohlásil člen Síně slávy UFC, který po boji položil rukavice a kariéru ukončil s bilancí 32 výher a 10 porážek.

Další číslovaná akce zámořské bojové ligy proběhne 8. června v New Jersey, kde dojde k odvetnému titulovému souboji v bantamové váze mezi Merabem Dvališvilim a Seanem O’Malleym. Na pás šampionky téže divize, ale mezi ženami, pomýšlí také urostlá Američanka Kayla Harrisonová, jež narazí na královnu Juliannu Peňaovou.

2025 PGA Championship odds, picks: Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler predictions from top Masters-winning model

Imagn Images Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina will host the 2025 PGA Championship. It annually hosts the Wells Fargo Championship, now known as the Truist Open, so looking at past winners of that event could result in optimal 2025 PGA Championship bets. Max Homa, Wyndham Clark and Jason Day have won the Wells Fargo in recent years, but no one comes close to the success at the tournament quite like Masters winner Rory McIlroy. The newest Grand Slam champion has four victories at Quail Hollow, including last year. He also has the most wins (three) of any golfer on the PGA Tour this year, so he could be one of the popular 2025 PGA Championship picks and is +500 in the 2025 PGA Championship odds.

Dodger Details: Tony Gonsolin’s new gear, Roki Sasaki’s fastball and more

PHOENIX — Tony Gonsolin has learned he has something in reserve. The Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander’s 84th and final pitch was the second-hardest one he would throw on Sunday, a 95.7 mph fastball. The only one faster (95.9) came an inning earlier in the fourth against the Arizona Diamondbacks, when he tried to blow strike three past outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. The velocity is back.AdvertisementGonsolin has shown an ability post-surgery to keep something back for big spots. Just look at his last start on Tuesday against the Miami Marlins, when he reared back for 96.8 mph with two strikes against Ronny Simon, and 96 mph a pitch later. It was his hardest pitch since 2020. In the first inning of that start, he reared back for 95 to retire Kyle Stowers.That’s a big jump when Gonsolin needs it. For contrast, […]
