Sulecki: Pacheco is Untested
Sulecki (32-2 12 KOs) might be Pacheco’s first profession take a look at of their 12-rounder. Promoter Eddie Hearn hopes Pacheco, 23, appears nice as a result of he’s attempting to place him shortly to a title shot in opposition to 168-lb champion Canelo Alvarez to catch him earlier than he retires.
With David Benavidez and David Morrell having moved as much as 175, Pacheco (21-0, 17 KOs) doesn’t have a lot to fret about when it comes to competitors or fighters he could be pressured to combat. Pacheco isn’t within the talent-wise class of these two.
Now that they’re gone, Pacheco is among the few viable choices for Canelo to combat as soon as he finishes his subsequent title protection in opposition to Edgar Berlanga on September 14th.
“Diego Pacheco hasn’t been examined in large fights, large challenges. He’s the man you might want to be cautious about. He’s the man who makes errors, and now we have to capitalize on these errors,” stated Maciej Sulecki to the DAZN Boxing YouTube channel, speaking about Pacheco. “He’s not been examined but.”
Sulecki’s Expertise Benefit
Sulecki, 35, has had fights in opposition to Demetrius Andrade, Daniel Jacobs, Hugo Centeno, Derrick Findley, Grzegorz Proksa, and Jack Culcay. By way of expertise, Sulecki doesn’t have that large of a bonus over Pacheco. The well-known fighters that Sulecki has fought have been older guys who have been close to the tip of their careers. He nonetheless misplaced to Andrade and Jacobs, although they have been not at their finest.
“He’s a younger, sturdy fighter with ambition, however he hasn’t been within the ring with such an skilled fighter as me,” stated Sulecki about Pacheco. “Thus far, he’s been preventing the opponents from the second and third leagues. Nevertheless, I can say he’s good and we’ll see how he’ll endure a really critical take a look at from me.”
Pacheco has been preventing lesser opposition, however he’s bought a very good excuse. He’s solely 23, so it will have been loopy for his promoters to place him in in opposition to harmful opposition all this time.
“I’m positive I’ve self-discipline. Nice abilities, a tricky jaw, big character, and the desire to combat,” stated Sulecki.
Pacheco’s Targets
“I’m asking for all the massive fights. I’m already within the prime ten. I wish to get these prime ten guys to earn my title shot. 5 years from now, I’ll be ruling the 168-lb division and hopefully change into the undisputed on the weight. That’s my objective,” stated Pacheco. “Each combat is necessary. I deal with each combat prefer it’s my final combat.”
It’s questionable whether or not Pacheco will ever dominate the tremendous middleweight division. Even when Canelo retires, some proficient guys would possible beat Pacheco. Osleys Iglesias and Christian Mbilli could be very powerful for Pacheco in the event that they keep at tremendous middleweight.
“I put my all in each single coaching camp to verify all the things goes proper. I’m simply locked into getting this W,” stated Pacheco.
