Hamzah Sheeraz goes to Super Middle Wweight Division

Published

Hamzah Sheeraz will go to a super medium weight to start the campaign in this weight class after his fatal effort against the WBC champion 160-lb Carlos Adames last month.

Profit path

Promoter Frank Warren said Ring that Sheeraz, 25 years, will move to 168. This movement makes sense for Sheeraz, because it can come on a colossal payout day if he gets the title shot with a unified Master of a super medium -sized Canelo Alvarez.

Most fans will agree that Hamzah will do worse at 168, but there is no real choice. It is not possible to money at the age of 160, and he apparently will never win the world title against existing masters in the division. At least if he moves to a super medium weight, he can get a lot of payment, and then go to the stars.

Hamzah Sheeraz must be far from these contenders because they would ruin his chances of fighting Canelo:

– Diego Pacheco
– Oslyys Iglesias
– Caleb plant
– Christian Milli
– Jaime Mungia
– Bruno Surace: *It can be winning
– Sergiy Derevyanchenko

Warren must treat these guys as an equivalent Third rail And keep Hamzah far from them if he wants him to win long enough to fight Canelo for a giant payment.

Of course, you can’t match sheerase Against Lithe massive killers Like David Benavidez, David Morrell, Callum Smith, Joshua Batsi, Anthony Yarde or Artur Beterbiev. It is not built for this type of warrior.

Plan

Look at Edgar Berlang. He built a gaunt record of 21 tomato cans and was chosen by Canelo in September last year, and received a huge payment of $ 10 million. If it worked for Berlang, maybe also for Hamzah.

Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KO) looked completely outside his league against Adames, seemingly losing 11 out of 12 rounds, but the judges surprisingly won the fight with an unpopular 12-round draw. However, the fans saw that Hamzah was crossed and perceived it as a loss.

Adames unveiled Sheerase in this fight, showing that one should not fight for the title of master of the master. The point is that Adames was seen as the weakest link among the champions aged 160, and Sheeraz looked staring.

Sheeraz could fight IBF and WBO master, Janibek Alimkhanuly or WBA master Erislanda Lara. These guys are considered the best fighters in the division, but Hamzaah would be food for them.

Fans want plants, Berlanga wants … money?

Published

Image: Fans Want Plant, Berlanga Wants...Money?

Edgar Berlanga says he is ready to fight one of his three hits fighters after the destruction of the little-known Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz in one round on Saturday evening in Orlando, Florida.

List of hits

– Jaime Mungia
– Jermall Charlo
– Caleb plant

Inflated?

For the most part, fans want Berlanga to fight Caleb with the plant, but Edgar himself probably excessive price, believing that he evaluates the same money he got the fight with Canelo Alvarez. This is not a huge fight that will bring many PPV purchases, because the plant is not popular enough. If Berlanga is valued, demanding $ 10 million, he must develop a list towards one of the smaller fighters.

Berlanga (23-1, 18 Kos) explained that he would be a party and against those who choose because he has “Puerto Rico island” behind him. His choice No. 1 is Jaime Munguia, who comes out of the brutal defeat in the fifth round with Bruno Surace in December last year, and two of the last three fights lost two of the last three fights. This is not perfect.

Berlanga Circular Wadzka?

It is doubtful whether Edgar can even 168, because he looked like a cruiser’s weight last Saturday evening. Last Friday he left the weight, weighing 169 1/2 pounds, and there are many doubts whether he can even go back to 168 without entering the hospital.

Berlanga should fight in a lightweight heavyweight at least at this stage of his career, if not in the circuitous weight. He will turn 28 soon and apparently eat well with $ 12 million, which he received from three fighting against matchroom.

The list of Berlanga hits does not necessarily represents who are the best medium scale contenders, because the division has changed as recent blood increases. The guys on his wish list are either ancient or fighters with shaky biographies.

Jermall is 35 years ancient in May and fought only once since 2021. It is not even essential in the 168 pounds ward.

“We have a plant, we have [Jermall] Charlo and we got Munguia. We got three – said Edgar Berlanga Warrior Asked who he wants to fight after the arrest of Jonathan Gonzalez-Banków in the first round last Saturday evening in his return in Orlando.

“We have to see which one is biting his hand. Whoever bites his hand, gets a ball, “Berlanga said, explaining that he represents the page and against the three he is considering.

This is my man. If something passes in the next fight, we make it happen, “Berlanga said about the promoter Eddie Hearn. “I am now a gigantic name in sport. I have an island behind me. I have Puerto Rico with me. I have the whole world with me.

“It’s not about the promoter. It’s about the right fight, having the right team, and I got it. I feel that I now have the best boxing team, the strongest band. People said bad comments about the fact that I was in the Co-Main event, “said Berlanga.

Novel 168 kings

  1. Oslyys Iglesias
  2. Diego Pacheco
  3. Christian Milli

Record of the former master of the IBF Master Master has no great victories. His best victories are against 39-year-old Anthony Dirrell, pretender Fringe Trevor McCumbby and Jose Uzcatelui.

Joe Louis: Heavyweight master who knocked out fascism

Published

Image: Joe Louis: The heavyweight champion who knocked out Fascism

By Owais tabassum: The year was 1938. Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party just annexed Austria. Humanity was holding his breath when the world shakes on the edge of the most destructive conflict in history – World War II.

Among this approaching catastrophe, the next battle occupied a central place in the Staw in Novel York. The air was dense with the smog of the great crisis, when the seventy thousand viewers packed the Yankee stadium, and the estimated one hundred million listeners tuned on the radio around the world as a ponderous weight master Boxing, Joe Louis, met with Max Schmeling in Germany.

Adolf Hitler and the “main propagandist of the Nazi party” Joseph Goebbels supported Schmeling as their advertising Stooge in the world of boxing and in a good thing.

Schmeling was a skillful boxer, quick on the legs and a technician of the ring, which kept knockout power in both fists. He proved his abilities in Louis’s detention in their first meeting two years earlier, asking him his first defeat. He was a powerful pugilist, and Hitler knew it too well.

Public sentiment depends on Louis’s victory; In anticipation, millions crumbled around the crackling radios. This was the gravity of the event in which President Franklin D. Roosevelt personally told Louis: “These are the muscles we need to defeat the Germans.” The situation was ready with tension, and Louis’s arms were ponderous.

“FDR” did not have to worry, Louis understood the task. The march towards the middle ring in an elegant, squatting attitude, using his destructive power, provided crushing blows to Schmeling’s head and body. He knocked him down three times, stopping the competition with a definitely knockout in the first round.

The image of fascism was almost decimated in 124 seconds.

Irate Joseph Goebbels signaled transmitting engineers frantically to pull the plug on the gearbox when Schmeling was lying on the ropes, succumbing to Louis’ blows.

When the word about Louis’s triumph spread quickly, the streets in every state broke out with joy. People sang and danced on the occasion of their hero’s victory. Louis’s victory helped pave the path to racing relations throughout the country. Louis, an African American born in Alabama in the Sharecroping family, literally fought the earth and defeated the concept of Aryan suppreation Adolf Hitler. The victory was sweet.

Then Louis joined the war efforts in 1942, becoming the original inspiration for the exhibitions of “Captain America” ​​by Marvel in the army camps, entertainment of soldiers and supporting unity among different breeds fighting side by side in the bloodiest conflicts.

Schmeling on his part never joined the Nazi party; His relationship with the Führer was intricate. He took his life and reputation to facilitate Jewish children to escape persecution. He was also a hero.

After returning to the ring, Louis reigned as a heavyweight master for almost 12 years – a stunning achievement that remains unparalleled to this day. Only in 1950

Louis’s later life was destroyed by financial problems, his guides put most of their earnings, leaving him only a fraction of his winnings. Louis was also extremely generous, helping his family and friends leave the poverty hole. Unfortunately, many Louis business projects did not succeed.

Perhaps Louis’s most destructive career blow appeared not in the ring, but from IRS, who claimed that he had to owe over USD 500,000 backward taxes. With interest and fines, this number increased to over USD 1,000,000 – $ 13 million equivalent today. When Louis’s mother died, she left him savings of life, a modest $ 500. Tragically IRS immediately took over this sum. While my examination of time tax regulations confirmed that the government was acting under his rights, I did not find a justification for the moral indecent confiscation of a personal gift from her deceased mother to her son.

The issue of debt, slowing down the reflexes and wearing a bald patch, Louis, with an excellent career of 66 wins, 52 knockout and only 2 paralysis, he was last back in the ring for the last time.

This time his enemy was no one other than Future Hall of Famer, an invincible record, a destructive artist with a knockout; “Brocton Blockbuster” Rocky Marciano.

Although Rocky expressed regret because of the fight with the hero whose victory against Schmeling himself celebrated as newborn people. The way he dismantled Louis would think differently. Marciano threw Louis in the 8th round with his right hand, sending him through the ropes and cleaned him from the ring. When Louis helped his feet hopelessly, the feeling of sadness has passed the boxing world. Louis’s boxing career has ended

Louis’s heritage lives in up-to-date media.

It is fascinating to think that just a few dozen years later we can see these historical meetings in a stunning color and high resolution. The technology has been promoted to such an extent that we can now enter the ring as an almost perfect graphic interpretation of Joe Louis in the newly published simulation game “Undisputed”. Could fans of this era ever imagine such a jump? “

Louis and Schmeling made friends for the rest of their lives, Schmeling provided Louis with financial assistance during the most desperate years. This bond was proof that reconciliation is possible even among enemies at the opposite ends of an ideological spectrum.

Other characters of boxing and a wider world of celebrities, namely Jack Dempsey, the Baseball Jackie Robinson icon and the musical legends of Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr, helped Louis financially in recent years

Muhammad Ali’s boxing icon later took care of Louis’s funeral, when he died on April 12, 1981. On the 69th anniversary of the titanic drowning, the boxing world mourned the loss of one of the most titanic characters.

Joe Louis survived the era defined by deep segregation, racial hatred, World War II and a great crisis. However, having only a few boxing gloves, he broke racial barriers, built bridges, united a divided nation and knocked out fascism.
