On Saturday night at Mexico City’s iconic Large Bola Casino, broadcast on DAZN PPV, promoters Fernando Beltran (Promociones Zanfer), Floyd Mayweather (Mayweather Promotions) and Richard Schaefer (Mayweather Promotions) presented an 8×2 round exhibition rematch between former multi-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and John Gotti III. The fight didn’t bring fans much to cheer about and ruined boxing once again.

In the first round, after most of the moves had been made, the bell rang and Gotti had to inform referee Hector Afu that the round was over. At the end of the second round, “the circus continued,” Mayweather waved the referee out of the ring and was replaced. Gotti barely threw a punch, and Mayweather landed a few straight punches. The farce continued in the third round, with Gotti on the ropes doing nothing but complaining. Mayweather threw what was there. In the fourth round, Mayweather threw what was there. In the fifth round, Mayweather threw what was there, and Gotti landed a single left hook. In the sixth round, the novel referee had little control over what was happening, and Mayweather threw what was there. In the seventh round, more of the same happened, and Mayweather threw what was there. In the eighth and final round, the fans began to boo for good reason. Mayweather, who retired with a 50-0 record, and Gotti 2-0? Fans booed as ring announcer Jimmy Lennon called for applause for both.

In the Super Welter show, left-handed ‘Vicious’ Victor Ortiz, 33-7-3 (25), of Garden City, KS, took a no-decision due to the show, against left-handed Rodrigo ‘Tanko’ Cordia, 21-8-1 (11), of MEX, Houston, TX, in 8×2 rounds. In the first four rounds, both left-handers gave the fans something to cheer about. In the last four rounds, the pace slowed down.

In the supporting fight, WBC Silver Super Bantam Champion and #1 ranked Alan Picasso, 29-0-1 (16), #121.5, of Mexico City, MEX, defeated “Crazy A” Azat Hovhannisyan, 21-5 (17), #121.7, of Armenia and LA, CA, over 12 solid rounds. For some reason, they allowed some of Picasso’s entourage, after the ring, to enter the ring and continue to sing, keeping everything going. Picasso out-punched Hovhannisyan in the first two rounds.

In the third round, Picasso landed a body shot and Hovhannisyan responded with a counterattack. In the fourth round, Hovhannisyan was deducted a point for a low blow that knocked Picasso to the canvas by referee Hector Afu. From the fifth to the seventh round, the fight alternated, with Picasso having the upper hand.

In the eighth round everything was moving, although there were several clinches in between. In the ninth round Picasso was doing well until the last seconds, when Hovhannisyan landed a series of punches. In the tenth round, despite having a lot of swelling under his eyes, Hovhannisyan had a good round.

The action continued in the eleventh round, another close round. The twelfth and final round saw a lot of action, with Hovhannisyan holding a slight advantage. Scores of 118-110 twice, and especially 120-108, seemed completely out of place.

Super Middleweight left-hander Louis “Zurdo” Rodriguez, 15-1 (14), #122, of Mexico City, MEX, lost a majority decision to Cesar Vaca, 17-1-1 (11), #124, of Guadalajara, MEX, after 10 rounds.

In the first two rounds Rodriguez followed Vaca around the ring, not initiating much action. In the third round the two of them mixed well in the last minute. In the next three rounds Rodriguez tried to force Vaca into the fight and while he did so he landed the occasional right to the chin. In the seventh round Rodriguez decided to do what Vaca had done in the last three rounds, nothing.

The ninth round saw little action. In the tenth and final round, Vaca took Rodriguez apart, delivering his best round yet. Judge Alfredo Uruzquieta. Scores: 95-95, 97-94, 98-92.

Athlete 18 year venerable Curmel Melton, 5-0 (4), #134 ½, from Las Vegas, NV, stopped Victor Vazquez, 5-3-1 (0), #137, from Tapachula, MEX, at 0:55 of the first round of a scheduled 6 rounds. In the first round, Melton’s left hook was preceded by three punches to the chin, knocking Vazquez down. He tried to beat the count when referee Laurentino Ramirez Oropeza waved it off.

Silver Middle Aaron Silva, 16-1 (12), of Monterrey, MEX, stopped delayed sub Alberto “Pollo” Artiga, 6-14 (2), of MEX, in 3 rounds of a scheduled 8 rounds. In the first round Artiga suffered a diminutive cut on the bridge of his nose. In the third round Silva landed three unanswered punches, forcing the referee to stop the fight.

Lightweight Fly delayed sub Arlen Sanchez, 5-7-4 (1), from Tlalnepantla, MEX, lost to Cecilia Rodriguez, 14-1-1 (6), from Monterrey, MEX, in an 8×2 round contest. In the first two rounds, Sanchez fought back, although she lost both rounds. In the third round, Sanchez began to leisurely down, and Rodriguez won the round. In the fourth and fifth rounds, Sanchez got a second wind, outboxing Rodriguez. In the sixth round, Rodriguez came back to form, landing hooks to the body. In the seventh, eighth and last round, Sanchez outboxed Rodriguez. Referee Alfredo Uruzquieta.

Announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr.

Andrew Moloney is confident that if given the chance, he would have beaten Phumelele Cafu and Kosei Tanaka

Published

October 16, 2024

Few people were more disappointed than Andrew Moloney when Kosei Tanaka lost his WBO super flyweight belt to Phumelele Cafu at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan on Monday night.

The 33-year-old Australian veteran was hoping to get a shot at beating Tanaka in the lucrative Japanese market.

Those dreams were dashed when South Africa’s Cafu delivered the performance of his life, knocking out Tanaka in the fifth round and finishing the fight strongly, beating the four-weight world champion by split decision.

“The plan was to target the WBO and really chase the Tanaka fight, but it all fell apart on Monday night,” Moloney (26-4-1NC, 16 KO) told The Ring. “I think the WBO is probably still the direction we go, but I’m not sure if they have a rematch clause or if Tanaka will take it. But after watching the fight yesterday, I would be really confident that I could fight one of these guys and win. We would like to follow this path.

“I would love to fight Tanaka in Japan as a four-division world champion. He’s definitely someone I’ve looked up to and wanted to fight for a long time.

“Last night was a little hard to watch. The way he performed, I’m more confident than ever that I have what it takes to beat Tanaka.

I assume there will be a rematch and I hope that Tanaka will regain the belt and I will be able to return to the ring and climb the rankings, and maybe this fight will still happen.

Tanaka entered Moloney’s orbit four years ago when he debuted at 115 pounds. Earlier this year, it looked like they were also on a collision course, with Moloney being number one in the WBO rankings. However, when an offer was made for the vacant IBF lightweight title fight between Vasily Lomachenko and George Kambosos Jr. in May in Perth, Western Australia, Moloney felt he couldn’t turn her down.

This decision ended in disaster. Moloney faced Carlos Cuadras, who withdrew from the fight with a ruptured Achilles tendon and was replaced by Pedro Guevara. Moloney entered the fight with a torn bicep and was largely reduced to boxing with one hand, which circumscribed his punching power.

Still, Moloney felt he did more than enough to win, and was shocked when Guevara was declared the winner by split decision. He was so disappointed that he announced immediately after the fight that he was leaving the ring, but a few days later he withdrew these comments.

It was a breakthrough moment in his career.

“Looking back, it’s a wonderful thing, but watching the Tanaka-Cafu fight made me think that maybe I would do a lot of things if I could turn back time a little bit,” Moloney explained.

“Before my last fight, I was number one in the WBO rankings and I rejected the option of waiting to fight Tanaka. But the opportunity arose to fight Guevara in Australia for the interim WBC title on a major card, and to be candid, I kind of regretted that the Tanaka fight was hanging in the balance, but ultimately we decided to stay busy and take the opportunity to fight in Australia.

“Also, the injury before the fight was another thing I thought about: will I undergo surgery, keep the top spot and wait for Tanaka, but I made the decision to go ahead with the fight with Guevara. Looking back now, maybe it wasn’t the smartest thing to do. And looking at the way Tanaka fought last night, I thought maybe I should have waited. I’m sure I could beat Tanaka and take the belt away from him.

“So I take some consolation, but unfortunately you can’t turn back time.”

It’s been a frustrating year for Moloney, but he’s still hitting the gym and his team is working to get him another fight. The window of opportunity to box again this year is closing quickly, but he still hopes to return to the ring in December, most likely in his native Australia.

“I really hope so,” he said. “That’s what I’ve been working on. I have been training strenuous at the gym for some time, quite a few months. I hope to return before the end of the year.

“At this stage it will probably be December. I’m trying to block something, but so far no luck. I’m still training away as if the fight was to take place in December, the team is currently working on it and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we’ll be able to finish it.

“I just hope we can get out before the end of the year, get back into the winner’s circle and start climbing the rankings again.”

Moloney, who fought at bantamweight for the first three years of his professional career before dropping down to super flyweight, surprisingly, said he would even consider moving up to another weight class given the right opportunity.

“It’s a tough time in the super flyweight division,” said Moloney, the eighth challenger to The Ring’s 115-pound title. “There’s a lot going on and it’s always strenuous to plan which route to take because everything changes so quickly. I’d pick Bam Rodriguez to beat Guevara, then there’s talk of a rematch between Kazuto Ioka and Fernando Martinez on Up-to-date Year’s Eve. And then there’s talk of Bama, if they win, fighting the winner of that game in unification. The WBO seems to me the fastest way to win the title, so that’s the path we will follow.

“We have also rejected for some time the idea of ​​moving up to flyweight and getting crack there. There’s also some engaging scene going on there right now, but it’s still uncertain. I’d probably feel a little better at super flyweight, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens with Cafu and Tanaka, but like I said, I’d feel comfortable and confident against either of them, so hopefully he can make it it will happen sooner rather than later.”

Doubts that fuel 19-year-old Benjamin Johnson

Despite an impressive amateur resume, welterweight Benjamin Johnson of Springdale, Maryland, enters the professional ring with a shoulder injury.

Johnson will face Kevin Pantoja in a four-round fight at Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, Maryland, promoted by his trainer Lamont Roach Snr’s NoXcuses Promotions. The fight will be broadcast on Saturday on ProBox TV.

Johnson, 1-0 (1 KO), spent just 2:23 in the ring in his professional debut, displaying the quick, aggressive hands that won him multiple national titles. However, 19-year-old Johnson feels an advantage, believing he is being overlooked by his NoXcuses Boxing Gym teammates.

Pantoja, 1-1, 27, has never stopped being a professional – Johnson aims to change that.

“People underestimate me,” Johnson said. “It’s been like that since I was an amateur.”

He added that this underestimation increases his motivation in the gym. Johnson is determined to prove his worth not only to himself, but also to those who doubt him or, worse, don’t recognize him. “I never felt like I was recognized as that guy, so I feel like I’m underappreciated,” Johnson said of his amateur and now professional career.

Johnson sees the fight as a key step in his career, compared to feared forward David Benavidez by some teammates and touted by others as one of the most ready-to-fight prospects in the country.

“I train as much as I can,” Johnson said. “It’s about making a statement. The way you win shows people what you’re capable of, and I’m ready to show my best.

Benavidez Sr. wants Artur Beterbiev after David Morrell

Image: Benavidez Sr. Wants Artur Beterbiev After David Morrell

David Benavidez’s father, Jose Benavidez Sr., says he wants undisputed lightweight heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev if he can defeat “regular” WBA champion David Morrell in a Jan. 25 fight.

Jose Senior believes Beterbiew would be a good fight for Benavidez (29-0, 24 KO). He would also like his son to have Dmitry Bivol because it would give him a chance to beat someone who beat Canelo Alvarez in 2022.

Jose Sr. is still bitter that Canelo chose not to fight Benavidez all these years, and recently mentioned a $200 million asking price to fight him. If Bivol loses the rematch with Beterbiev, it is not worth fighting him.

Artur Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KO) will be the guy Benavidez fights if he defeats Bivol in a rematch in 2025. The second fight is still not confirmed, but it is likely.

Benavidez’s worst nightmare would be if Beterbiev lost his rematch with Bivol and then the two fighters met in a trilogy fight. Benavidez will have to wait until the third fight between these fighters takes place before he can claim the belts.

“David’s next fight will be David Morrell. Everyone is very excited about it. We tried to make this fight for three years, but I think David Morrell needed a little more experience to show the world that he deserves this fight,” said Jose Benavidez Sr. Probox TV David Benavidez’s next fight with Cuban David Morrell will take place on January 25.

Of course, Team Benavidez hasn’t tried challenging to fight Morrell over the last three years because they’ve been the ones ignoring him. If they wanted a fight with Morrell, it would have happened a long time ago.

They waited until now, after Morrell’s unimpressive performance against Radivoje Kalajdzic on August 3 at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, before deciding they wanted to fight him.

“David called him and said, ‘Hey, I want to do this fight. Let’s make it happen. It was done right away. I’m very excited to fight a newborn talent, a sturdy fighter, and I think it’s going to be a tough fight,” said Jose Senior on how the fight with Morrell ultimately came about.

I hope we get a chance to fight Beterbiev. He won only on Saturday. Hopefully we can achieve that, but right now our focus is on David Morrell. We have to look impressive to get to the next level,” Benavidez Sr. said.

If Benavidez loses to Morrell, Jose Sr. will have to decide which direction to take his son. Will he move it back to 168 pounds or stay at 175, hoping to win one of the belts after Beterbiev’s vacation?
