For Duarte, it is a steady continuation of his ascension in Superstail. He won successive victories against Jojo Diaz and Bortirzhon Akhmedov and is now seeking his third win. Under the world -renowned coach, Robert Garcia, Duarte has improved, and his progress is striking. He is more controlled, uses the stitch more and defends better. He needs an effective stitch and impenetrable defense against a volume, pressure fighter like Madueño.
Keyshawn Davis fought against Miguel Madueño in July last year and was able to reduce his pressure attack by using the sting effectively. Miguel was frustrated with his inability to land bumps; He connected only 14 percent of his strokes (63 of 461). Along with the sample, Keyshawn used lateral movement, which made it difficult for Madueño to land. Although they fought a full 10-round game, Miguel did not admit and continued Keyshawn for the full 30-minute game. It was the stick that kept Madueño on track and allowed Keyshawn to be offensive. Keyshawn landed 49 percent of his total push (194 of 398), which is three times that Miguel ended up.
The other approach that Duarte can tackle is not recommended because of the amount of damage he can do, but it may be the one he instinctively contracts because of his fighter -like spirit, namely to stay in the pocket and to Madueño Take, similar to How Steve Claggett fought him in their 10-round Slugfest. Miguel is a pure offensive fighter; He doesn’t know how to defend. His waiting is permeable, has little to no head movement, and simply knows how to move forward. His best defense is his offense. He presses fighters for the full game. He tends to delay as the fight continues. He is dangerous early, but reduces his speed and power in the later rounds.
Steve Claggett recorded the early onslaught and fought him in nearby neighborhoods and landed an astonishing 512 strokes within 30 minutes. Madueño could not defend the attack of Claggett, and if Duarte used the blow effectively, he could be successful in jeopardizing Madueño and minimizing his offensive attack. Duarte is not a agile or mobile boxer, but some movement will help to lead Miguel’s attack incorrectly. Madueño is an experienced veteran who knows opportunities like this may not be ahead in the future. He will try to
Use this opportunity. Madueño was named the last minute replacement due to an injury sustained by regis Prograis in the camp. He will do everything in his power to win the game. Madueño is a much more dangerous opponent than the declining regis prohrais would have been because of its volume and power. Prograis suffered successive losses from Devin Haney and Jack Catterall. It is Duarte’s struggle to lose if he can remain disciplined, use the stitch and use his guard to defend Madueño’s volume.
