Comments Thread For: Photos: Ceja Trains With Nacho For Jamie McDonnell

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The undefeated knockout sensation Julio Ceja (24-0, 22KOs) is ready for battle on May 11 in Yorkshire, England. He faces Jamie McDonell (20-2-1, 9KOs) for the vacant bantamweight title of the International Boxing Federation (IBF). The match will be televised by Televisa Deportes. Under the watchful eye of veteran trainer Nacho Beristain, Ceja is going through some very strenuous workouts at the Romanza Gym in Mexico.

He's got huge forearms for a Bantie....

Looking forward to this one; it could be an unexpected classic.

Jamie McD has been improving in leaps and proverbial bounds. He's relatively tall for the weight, a nice, polished technician and has a cracking engine and home advantage.

Has also made himself a long-term European champ and at 27 is nicely matured without necessarily having to stare at the scales just yet.

But Ceja would really seem to be able to crack jaws - only two blokes have made the final bell in 24 fights - and he's looks like a hardcore, Mexican warrior who is not going to worry about fighting in the Republic of Yorkshire.

Reminds a bit of the excellent Burns v Martinez showdown. Jamie McD will need to stand-up and hit Ceja with enough authority to stop getting swamped and overwhelmed.

If he can discourage Ceja with the odd show of power, whilst sticking to his good boxing and racking-up the points, then he's got a chance.

Not sure McD has got the spite in his punches to pull this off; but I am expecting a very decent fight.

Great review. All about the first few rounds, in my opinion. A closer look at Ceja's record shows he fought complete novices til his 14 bouts (admittedly he still took care of business).

If McDonnell is still around & in good condition by the halfway point I think he'll sweep the latter half of the bout.

The bout reminds me of Duke McKenzie v Cesar Soto for the WBO Bantamweight title back in 1991. Although both Soto & Duke had fought better opposition than these two but they were of a similar age & style to these two protagonists.

Ceja will knock the feather-fisted puny McDonnell the phuck out!

if this Brit is just a polishe technician, as 1 guy stated, Ceja, who I've seen several times live, will hand him his lunch...he went to this weaker body as he did not want a shot or refused a shot,conflicting stories @ ...WBC champ , needs work on his D but he's a tremendous puncher...

Mr Smooth,

I'm not sure who you're saying is going to win

Is Ceja strong after the early rounds?

Talk about will power & determination, Ceja travels 6 hours(3 hours to get there & 3 hours to get back home) almost every day on public transportation from his house to the gym! Gotta root for Ceja on this one, he really deserves it!
