Fans at the T-Mobile Arena are waiting for pleasure, because espinosis divides the spotlight delicate with the incomparable Nayy Inoue on this historic Cinco de Mayo card. “

Espinosis (26-0, 22 KO) built his career almost exclusively in Mexico, after which he shocked the two-time Golden Olympic medalist Robeisa Ramirez for the Crown WBO in December 2023. He stopped in fifth place, attacked the Cuban floor at 12. And secured the majority in the deciding ESPN. In June, he defended his title with TKO in the fourth round over Sergio Chirino, and then in December back with the shoulder, breaking it and stopping six years. Now Espinosis is trying to make his defense of the title of Third World in the great great by Mexican, such as Salvador Sanchez, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez.

Espinosis said: “I am excited that I can return to the ring, especially in a city where I have always dreamed of fighting in Las Vegas. The fight on the T-Mobile Arena is also a dream come true that gives me even more emotion. Edward Vazquez is a strenuous warrior who wants to take what is mine. But I am ready to show him that I am here to become a champion. I can’t wait until May 4 will confirm it again. “

Vazquez (17-2, 4 KO), with Fort Worth in Texas, compiled the 11-0 record before he suffered a highly controversial defeat of parting with a possible world champion Raymond Ford in February 2022. In February 2023 he reflected with four wins. He kept his title with the decision of the majority. He returned to form with the decision on Daniel Bailey in May last year before he blew up Kenneth Taylor in the fourth of October.

Vazquez said: “On May 4, he can’t get here soon. I started boxing at the age of eight and I have been a professional for over nine years. Nothing has been given to me. I deserved for this occasion. Espinosis is a fantastic warrior and a distinguished master, but he never entered the ring with someone like “Kid” Vazquez. “

Stephen Fulton Jr. He broke the title of WBC Feather Wweight from the antique enemy of Brandon Figueroa to become the world champion in Las Vegas in Las Vegas.

Fulton, who had previously defeated Figueroa in Super Bantamweight, repeated the feat at Benavidez vs Morrell Undercard. After combining with Cozy, Ennis Fulton made corrections needed for quick acclimatization up to 126 pounds after passing from 122.

The 30-year-old survived Nayya Inoue for him to reign once again as a world ruler. “Scooter” was too busy, too charming and too good for Figueroa at night, when the owner of titles at present tried to cope with the results of the opponent.

After twelve rounds of Fulton distracting the episode, Carted Judges “and Recent”, when the compatriot from Philadelphia took a green and golden strap. In the case of Fulton, the results read 117-111 and 116-112 [twice].

Whether Fulton would be satisfied with an inoue rematch at a higher weight, see you.

Compupox Stats presented where Figueroa was wrong. They stated: “In the first fight Figueroa 138 blows in the first six rounds landed. 143 blows in twelve rounds landed in the Figueroa rematch. Fulton overtook Figueroa in 11 out of 12 rounds.

“Fulton also threw more blows than Figueroa in 7 out of 12 rounds. Fulton landed 32% of his blows, while Figueroa landed only 22%. “

David Benavidez developed David Morrell in the fight with overdue drama, because “The Monster” seemed to swim to victory.

Morrell began clearly in the first four rounds, but Benavidez soon took over in the middle of rounds. Taking advantage of the upper and body shots, Benavidez gradually looked at Morrell and placed points on the board for most rounds.

The dominant half of the party was disturbed when Morrell was successful overdue. This pressure ended with the knocking of the eleventh round, which seemed to be more embarrassed by Benavidez than anything else. However, Morrell wasted the 10-8 session, hitting Benavidez on the bell.

Judge Thomas Taylor, who told both men from the fight that he would be raw in the bell, he had a point from a Cuban. Benavidez saw the twelfth round at the 116-110 card on the WBN Live results card.

Judges in Ringside won 118-108 and 115-111 [twice]. Compupox Statistics supported the triumph.

They read: “Benavidez landed more blows than Morrell in 10 out of 12 rounds, twice as many blows over Morrell, and combined 48% of his power.

“Morrell shot a lonely knocking out of the fight in the final seconds of the eleventh round, but he was determined by the point of the Benavidez’s bell.

“None of Morrella’s previous opponents landed over 76 power blows. Benavidez landed 181.

Benavidez is now the most vital claimant to the undisputed airy heavyweight title, which Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol will compete this month.

Beterbiev and Bivol meet on February 22, when we find out how the Masters of Boxing and Turks Alalshikh plan to cooperate after the consequence. Benavidez is now a star in Las Vegas, so taking him from the capital of boxing and sending him to Saudi Arabia seems to be the wrong movement.

As for Morrella, he wants a rematch with Benavidez, but maybe he will have to wait for the opportunity. If the winner of Beterbiv vs Bivol refuses to face Benavidez, the second collision with Morrell for the title of the world in Bonafide is not excluded.
