Liam Barrow v. David Baba on September 18 in Brisbane, Australia

Liam Paro and David Papot went to the nose today in Brisbane before the IBF Welterweight, which was appointed for Thursday, 18 September (USA 6:00 am et | UK 11:00 am).

The Stardown was under the statue of Wallly Lewis at the Suncorp Stadium – the same land where Jeff Horn Mane Bacoyao was amazed. For Baro, it was more than one background. It was a reminder of the history of Australian boxing. Now, he wants to sculpt his chapter when he meets the unaccounted French language in Pat Rafter Arena.

The place, known as tennis, will host boxing for the first time. With a global title filmed on the line, it is impossible to ignore the battle. Papot, who has not yet defeated 31 battles, flew in an indifferent condition and made his position clear: Barrow does not frighten him.

Babot’s warning: “When the bell rings, I just and him”

“I saw a little of Liam on social media, but it is not special for me,” Babot told reporters. “I don’t know much about him other than that from the south, the fast hero and the former hero. I have been fighting since I was five years old, and I traveled everywhere, fought in the United States, or fought everywhere. I can fight tactics or I can go to the war. I am ready for everything.”

On the pressure of the crowd, Babot added: “In France, I had seven to eight thousand in the last battles. I am accustomed to the big squares. Once the battle begins, I am William only. No one in that square can help him.”

Barrow carries home pressure

Barrow, who won a knockout victory over Jonathan Navarro in Kerns, knows that Babot did not travel for the day of payment. This remover revolves around entering global competition, and with home fans watching, the pressure is to deal with it.

The families say that the Barrow camp has focused on keeping it sharp and level, and moved away from the emotional weight that could come with fighting in front of you. Keep a cold door, and simply put it: “Liam in his hometown, he wants to shine, it’s normal.”
