Paddy Donovan, a welterweight claimant, enjoys games before the fight with Lewis Crocker, with whom he will face in the 12-Rund at 1 March at the SSE Arena in Belfast, North Ireland.
When a press conference occurred, it was not surprising that Limerick, Ireland Donovan had a trick to surprise his 28-year-old opponent.
“He is known from the abbreviation of his name, croc. So they call him a crocodile – 26 -year -old Donovan said Boxingscene about his opponent. “One day I and Andy were in the gym and I said that I could wear a crocodile Dundee hat or something.”
The conversation with his trainer and former warrior Andy Lee led to the appearance of Donovan in an outfit more suitable for Halloween than at a press conference. In a sense, it calmed down his mind.
“In this sport he has many mental games. There are many people who get the advantage. Do you see the enemy’s weakness? Do you see how a little crumble is? “Donovan, 26 years elderly and 14-0 (11 KO), he said. “I try to change my personality to a press conference and not show my cards.”
Donovan explained that you can learn a lot at a press conference. The behavior and temperament of the warrior can be seen on the full display. These are things he is trying to hide. Training in Saudi Arabia with his coach Lee, who also trains the heavyweight of Joseph Parker, Donovan perceives this as a fight for the next level as the beginning of better things.
“It may not be a fight for a breakthrough, but it is a fight that if I can go from Irish Godda to world-famous in the welterweight ward, it would be great,” said Donovan. “He puts us in a position that we both could only dream about. Eddie Hearn spoke about the world title IBF and how free he would be and bring him to Ireland for the winner. There are many on the line. “
The IBF welterweight title is currently owned by Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Ennis will unite on April 12 in Philadelphia against Eimantas Stanionis. Donovan is currently fifth according to IBF. Donovan believes that Belfast’s Crocker, 20-0 (11 KO) is not confident.
“I think the deeply Crocker knows he can’t beat me,” Donovan said. “I think he tried to put it on me for a few rounds, but deep in my soul I don’t think he will have what you need to beat me. I think he knows that I can do absolutely everything he can do and the things I can do, he certainly can’t do. “
Former world champion with two divisions, Danny Garcia, says that it was so “wise” For Devin Haney last Friday evening with Jose Ramirez from Jose Ramirez in the style of “Hit-i-Get-Get-Hit”. He says that Haney (32-0, 15 KO) is a “boxer” and will not stand in front of the Ramirez to let him hit him.

Safety price
Haney needed a great performance to buy back after losing to Ryan Garcia last year. This effort was not what he needed, as He made him less see-through to future fights. Danny Garcia does not see this corner, because sport has changed a lot since 2012, when he was at its best. Fighters cannot turn to garbage performances and expect them to receive the highest dollar.
“It’s about boxing and not to be hit. I understand that people want to see the fight,” said Danny Garcia WarriorTalking about the Times Square card last Friday with Devin Haney Stinking about the fight, escaping from Jose Ramirez through 12 rounds. “Haney is a boxer. He won’t stand in front of the ramist and will allow him to hit him.
Haney had to enhance his delay after the last performance against Ryan Garcia, and he failed to achieve. He could easily stand in front of a ponderous shoulder and became better than stock exchanges. He didn’t do it. Devin’s performance was so bad with his run and holding that he reduced his supply even further than when he entered the fight.
“His task is to score points, employ legs and win,” Danny continued about Haney. “I know that people want to see the fight, but styles are fighting.
When Haney gets $ 10 million for tuning with a washed opponent, it owes Alalshikh fans and Turks to put in the effort A+, putting on the chin on the shooting line, and not run through the whole fight. Danny Garcia does not understand this. He sees this only from the narrow point of view of Haney, who must win, but he does not understand that he has to have fun because he is fighting for PPV and received a lot of payment. He said before the fight that he was going to “comment” but did not even try.
“Bright” strategy
“So for me it was more matching. That’s why you got this kind of fighting. I was not surprised, because both Haney and Scull, they are their style. They are boxers. They want to hit and not be hit. It’s wise if you ask me. I see how people get nervous, but boxing is hit and is not hit,” said Danny.
It would be a much more fun fight if Turki Alalshikh insisted that Haney would fight a living dog, such as Jaron Ennis, Rolando “Rolly” Romero, Brian Norman Jr. or Gary Antuanne Russell. Running and holding, which Devin used against an venerable veteran, Jose Ramirez, would not be enough to guarantee victory against these guys
They would cut off the ring to Haney and/or knock it out with the chances that hit him. He asked for problems with matching Devin to a ponderous, faded ramirez because he would take advantage of the situation, stabbing and running all night. It’s his style.
Haney’s goal with a faded veteran Ramirez was double: 1 to show that he looks like gold. 2. Remove rust from a year of inaction.
While Haney pulled out rust, he turned in a terrible performance, which makes him useless to a rematch with Ryan Garcia. If you are Turki, you probably think: “I don’t need this kind of warrior on any of my cards. He doesn’t value any value.
Manny Pacquiao apparently leaves Mothballs to challenge the challenge of the WBC WBC Master Mario Barrios on July 19 in Las Vegas. 46-year-old former world champion of eight, Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KO), will fight for the first time in four years from 2021, looking for the first victory in six years from 2019. Although Pacquiao does not occupy the 15 best, WBC rules allow former masters to be a challenge for their global retirement titles.
Debate about meritocracy
Boxing fans in social media are divided into their thoughts on Pacquiao, who received the title without earning. People who are Pacquiao fans love this idea and do not see it back, fighting for the weakest link among belt owners at the age of 147. In Flipside, critics feel that this is a bad move for Sport Meritocracy. Fighters should get the title shots, not give them on the basis of what they did ten years ago.
“Breaking: Boxing Superstar Manny Pacquiao will end his almost four years of retirement, heading to Mario Barrios for WBC Wytreight Championships on July 19 in Las Vegas, the sources confirmed Andreas Hale on Thursday,” informs Espn Ringside on X.
There is no guarantee that Pacquiao will succeed against 29-year-old Barrio (29-2-1, 18 KO). While Manny definitely chooses the weakest masters at the age of 147, he is not juvenile enough and busy enough to win well. Pacquiao looked badly washed in his last fight in 2021, losing to Yordenis Ugas with a 12-round decision.
He blamed his defense for cramps in his calves against too much running in a training camp. He just looked too antique and moving for two years outside the ring. Uga dominated Pacquiao in this fight.
Barrios is wounded by Pacquiao. We hope that the judge quickly enters if it looks like manny is fighting. Leaving a 46-year-old to absorb punishment would not be a good idea.
Theme
It is not clear what the target is Pacquiao. Some fans on social media believe that Pacquiao has issued a fortune, which he received from the fight of Mayweather in his political career, and is now forced to return to the ring.
If Pacquiao blew up all his money on becoming a senator, it is disappointing. In 2015 he made a fortune of Floyd Mayweather Jr. The fight was not entertaining at all, and both fighters looked bad above the hill, and Mayweather made an absolute minimum to win.
Raymond Muratalla hopes to fight Vasily Lomachenko if she wins in his battle with Zaur Abdullaev for a momentary lightweight IBF belt on Saturday, May 10, at the Arena of Pechang in San Diego. Muratalla (22-0, 17 KO) will be a compulsory champion IBF 135-LB Lomachenko if he wins on Saturday. So, if Loma returns from an injury, he could face Muratalla. Muratalla will be raised to the full IBF master if she decides not to come back.

Muratalla vs. Abdullaev is the coefficient of Saturday’s card, at the head of the WBO Super Feather Wweight master Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete (39-2-1, 32 KO) defending against No. 1 Charly Suarez (18-0, 10 KO). The event will be shown live on ESPN and ESPN+ at 22:00 et/19: 00
For some reason, this fight did not gain much grip. Fans do not know Suarez and Navarrete, who were recently beaten by Denys Berinchyk last year.
Dream fight: Loma
“It’s a huge fight. Each of these masters,” said Raymond Muratalla Ring magazine Asked if he would be interested in fighting the airy champion WBO Keyshawn Davis. “I think it would be a great fight and a great fight for us and fans.”
Muratalla’s interest in the fight with Keyshawn for his WBO belt was not as high as to fight Lomachenko for the IBF belt. This can mean one of two things. Either Muratalla does not trust his ability to defeat Keyshawn, or perceives the fight with Lomachenko as a more significant who will pay better and aid his career. He apparently thinks that he can beat a 37-year-old. Why would he be so interested in fighting Lomachenko?
“I am focused on Saturday and I hope I can win on Saturday and the next Lomachenko,” Muratalla said. “I can’t wait for that. After winning on Saturday, Lomachenko is my duty. First I press it, and if not, I’m ready for any of the masters. I’m ready for any of them. We’ll see,” said Muratalla.
