Nenad Borovcanin - THE SERBIAN PUNCHER !
His name is NENAD BOROVCANIN !
He was born in Loznica,a city (since 2008) and municipality in western Serbia with a population around 90.000.He now lives in Banja Luka (Bosnia Herzegovina).
The fans call him ``NESO``.His is undefeated.According to boxrec.com his record is 25-0-0 !
At his last fight,heavyweight Nenad Borovcanin easily dispatched Johnathan Pasi in two rounds. Borovcanin floored his opponent twice with body punches before Pasi’s corner threw in the towel after 54 seconds of the second stanza.
He answered me to the following questions.
OnlyFighters : Nenad,you are an undefeated boxer.What are your expectations for the near future?Maybe a title?
Nenad Borovcanin : Sure!First i will fight in an undercard event in Geselkirchen (the main event will be Vitali Klitschko vs. Albert Sosnowski). If i win,then i can fight for the vacant WBO european heavyweight title.
For them who don`t know ,the undercard or preliminary matches consists of preliminary bouts that occur before the headline or "main event" of a particular boxing event.
OnlyFighters : Do you know,who will be your opponent in that event?
Nenad Borovcanin : No.I am waiting for his name.
OnlyFighters : Among your opponents until now,who was the toughest one,the opponent you felt for good in the ring?
Nenad Borovcanin : Andreas Guenther in a fight in Zlatibor,Serbia.Also the fight against Jonathan Pasi(in Klitschko`s event) was also hard,before i fight him,the training session.I fought in front of 54.000 people who were there.
OnlyFighters : Jonathan Pasi was weeker than you.It was obvious.He must took a lot of pain at his ribs after your punches.Do you like body punches?
Νenad Borovcanin : Ι like fifty-fifty points on body and face.It`s good when someone works body/face - face/body!
Borovcanin vs. Pasi
OnlyFighters : Many boxers say that they want first to take a hard punch from the opponent to start giving their best.Does it happens with you?
Νenad Borovcanin : No.Every boxer can be dangerous.
OnlyFighters : Τhe most difficult fight to win?
Νenad Borovcanin : In Podgorica.I had 6 difficult rounds against Werner Kreiskott there,because i didn`t train and i had 10 kilos more tha my normal weight.But i won.
OnlyFighters : What do you say to people that criticize you,that your opponents aren`t so strong so far?
Nenad Borovcanin : Some of them had bad scores,but our fights were good critics were positive too.
OnlyFighters : How do you react against not so strong opponents.Do you like to punish them in the ring?Give them some good pain,before you take them down?
Νenad Borovcanin : No.I just like boxing.Not to be hard with opponents.I like it when punches come like a surprise!
OnlyFighters : What are your best punches?
Nenad Borovcanin : My best are the left hook and uppercut.
OnlyFighters : You have two fights against Adnan Buharalija.What do you think about him and these two fights?
Nenad Borovcanin : Yes,i have two fights with him.He was one of the stronger and that`s why we met eachother in ring.But after our fights we are good friends.
OnlyFighters : There is a very impressive video in youtube.com,where you knock Buharalija out!It was from the first or second fight?
Borovcanin vs. Buharalija
Nenad Borovcanin : In the first fight i won him by K.O. ,but the second fight was a win for me by decision after six rounds.
OnlyFighters : What did Adnan say to you after these fights?He admits that you are better than him?
Nenad Borovcanin : Fair play!He congratulated me and said that i am really better than him.
OnlyFighters : Take us to the backstage Nenad.What happens when you and Adnan Buharalija train together?You think it`s easy for him to train with someone who beat him twice?You think he maybe wants a third fight with you?
Nenad Borovcanin : We fighted in 2005 and 2006 and since then we are friends.I think that he doesn`t want any other match with me.
OnlyFighters : When someone look at you,your face and body,doesn`t realize how strong you are.Do you think that opponents underestimate you sometimes?
Nenad Borovcanin : Some opponents and sparring partners say to me that they thought i wasn`t so strong.They say that i have baby face.But after we meet in ring ,they change their minds,saying that i `m good.
OnlyFighters : Who was the most disrespectful opponent againt you until now?
Nenad Borovcanin : Adnan Buharalija.
OnlyFighters : Your friend?Why you say that?
Νenad Borovcanin : You asked me,who didn`t respect me before fight.Adnan.
ΟnlyFighters : Ι thought you kidding.You mean it?
Nenad Borovcanin : Yes.Ηe has a big heart.
OnlyFighters : Adnan looks harder than you and his body and shape are better than yours,but although you gave him a good punishment in ring.
Nenad Borovcanin : These were good fights.
OnlyFighters : Sure he is a good man to accept to be friend with someone who beat him.
Nenad Borovcanin : It is boxing.
OnlyFighters : You are right.May the best man win!I think you have more power inside you Nenad,than normal fighters have.It must be one of your secrets i think.You look so confident!When i see you in the ring,it`s like you are THE MAN in there,no matter who the opponent is.First role fighter!
