By Frank Bay: Boxing’s face is Canelo Alvarez. I like it or not, this is a truth based on elementary economics. Alvarez brings the most money from every current boxer around the world, but most importantly in the United States (USA). Anthony Joshua can fight Canelo around the world, but he is certainly unable.
Not only the “face” economically, but also socially. Canelo attracts the greatest attention in recognized media (messages such as ESPN, boxing scene, Ring magazine, etc.) and with novel media, i.e. social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram and X, which are dependent on clicks and views. So, if you want to cover boxing, you will talk about Canelo Alvarez in any way necessary.
Simply put, Canelo Alvarez undertook where Floyd Mayweather ended, and in front of him Oscar de la Hoya and to Ali. Like Canelo, they led out celebrities, actors, athletes and musicians. They attract the eyes and dollars of celebrated people and an ordinary man. This is how boxing works and as always worked. But from time to time there is someone who wants to disturb the system and the powerful role of the sauce train. Take us to Davis Benavidez around 2025.
Red monster
Who is David Benavidez, can you ask? In fact, Benavidez is on the other side of 28 years and he has been professionally boxed for 12 years at 168 pounds and 175 pounds. He achieved an impressive record of 30 wins and without losses from 24 KO. Technically, you can call him a 2x master, but this is based only on technical values, because he lost it first.
David, although he lost the title because of drug utilize and a second to the missing weight. He beat Porky Medina and Ronald Gavril for these titles. Not entirely the murderer’s government, but he was still the youngest 168-pound in boxing history. Benavidez is currently fighting for PBC and is advised by a notorious ghostly character Al Haymon. He is managed by the well -known boxing form Sampson Lewkowicz, who also discovered talents such as Serigo Martinez and Marcos Maidana.
Benavidez has always been a talent fighting in the shade, he says, being a fat child of his brother Jose Benavidez Jr. Jose Jr was a very advertised perspective, but because of the injury he was not able to move, so the family’s success depended on the green and teenage David.
There were already stories about David, because allegedly 13 -year -old sparring with such as Gennada Golovkin and other professionals. He was still the best guarded secret in boxing, but his star grew because the word was not. The best rank once tried to get the best beach Benevidez from the highest rank, but to no avail. David had ups and downs, but his falls could not come in a worse time.
Canelo Alvarez: King or dictator?
Bringing us back to the face of boxing. Canelo Alvarez was to move to 168 and become the undisputed champion in just 18 months. It was perhaps the worst fate of everyone for Benavidez, because since he lost the title, he was unable to maximize him, being one of the opponents that Canelo Alvarez had to go through.
No, instead, his stable Caleb plant gained a chance for Alvarez and a 10 million dollars changing life, which he apparently got after Canelo fell for the first time. Well played, caleb resl. David Benavidez looked outside again and remained outside, like one Demetrius Andrade was while attempting to hunt red -haired Mexico during his unfortunate race.
Andrade tried Canelo more and more, chasing him and criticizing him at press conferences, where we now get the celebrated quotes: “Get Phuck Outta Here Mane” and “You Horible Fighter”. Alvarez told Andrade the same thing that he did nothing and that he would never get a shot for being so disregarding.
It was the moment when Alvarez announced that he was in charge, and if you wanted “Peya Dey”, you had to kiss the king’s ring and play nice. He told the world of boxing, “he does what he wants.” Andrade held rounds with the media and social media platforms, howls to the moon that Alvarez threw him.
Everything was unsuccessful, it fell on the deaf ears, and Andrade’s career died of vine when he played safely, deciding to be inactive and fight the fighters of the low -coaliber, waiting for Canelo Alvarez. It never happened, and David Benavidez used this scenario, eliminating Andrade. The conquest of a man said that Canelo avoided.
Birth of a villain: Mexican monster
Now that Canelo was in his division, Benavidez saw the delicate at the end of the tunnel. But he was still fighting rather when Alvarez took 168 thrones, during which he was once human. He assumed that he would return to the top in a brief time. He just had to wait. So, to start the trial, Canelo Alvares begins to call. It sounds straightforward enough, but it soon turned. Canelo had other plans.
A monster was born at that time. He received a marking stamp by the legend herself, Iron Mike Tyson. In Mike Tyson’s podcast, the unknown David Benavidez was a guest. Some say Tyson did not really know who David was, so he mistakenly called him a Mexican monster. And the city legend was born.
It doesn’t matter that David is half an elecuadorian. David started and ran with it. There was no better fit than the Mexican monster for 6’1 220pd David Benavidez to contrast with 5’6 160-Isling Canelo Alvarez. The Mexican monster was now a popular topic.
The one who wears the crown is massive
The monster was now on the path of war to the king. But Alvarez, which became undisputed, was in an indestructible fortress. And the king had greater ambitions, passing to 175. David had a name, but the future looked gloomy. Apart from the recognition of Alvarez, David has not yet beat anyone.
Canelo was at this point isolated from criticism because he became undisputed. But after the defeat Bivol, the monster and society saw the king’s weakness. At this point, the murmurs began with fans and critics. What would Canelo do?
The answer to most was that Canelo would play her safely. Now, looking back, most would say that he tried to hold the crown by choosing protected opponents, while behaving as if Benavidez was an ordinary beggar.
Newcastle, Australia-in combat sport, every fight can often seem that this is a “” proposal. Fighters and promoters build their fights, as if their life depends on this, the media buy charade, and fans immediately follow them. But most often they remained bloody, bruised and beaten, are able to find a way to raise the pieces and develop.
And then there are those fights that actually do or crack; Fights that define a career or raising a career. The latter is something that stands in the face of Australian Tim Tkuu, when it falls against the growing American phenom Joseph Spencer in Newcastle on Sunday. If TSYZU is not tiny, there will be no more rescue lines.
“It’s sinking or swimming,” said Tych met before his crunchy meeting with Spencer. “This is my redemption trip. I come back a stronger, hungry and ready to prove a point. I’m here to make a statement. If I have to go fire to go back to the top, let it be.
Eighteen months ago, Tsyzyu (24-2, 17 KO) was busy with being one of the hottest fighters in the world. He successfully negotiated the fight against the Division of the Jermell Charlo division, although Americans’ injuries meant that there was never implemented. Instead, Tsyzyu gathered the WBO medium champion belt with the dominant victory over Tony Harrison, and then defended the belt twice, first against Carlos Ocampo, and then Brian Mend. Tsyzu was still supposed to taste the defeat of 24 trips, fulfilling the noise of his legendary name in the world of boxing.
But everything he worked all his life was apparently solved in the blink of an eye. In March last year, Tsyza resigned from his world medium WBO title with a fractional loss from Sebastian Funda in Las Vegas, a fight in which he suffered a nasty cut above the left eye, which circumscribed his vision and eventually imposed his ability to scrap the victory.
At that time, he was unable to bounce against IBF SUPER WELTER WELTER BAKHRAM MURTAZALIEV Six months later, in a fight in which he entered as an overwhelming favorite to win. Tsyzyu was abandoned four times in the first three rounds and seemed shy and torpid in shock, one -sided romance. It was the last loss that left him on his career. Every fan of a fight knows that there is simply no chance to regain space as one of the best boxing, it should slide down to three more failures.
“This is Tim’s biggest career struggle, no doubt. This is or die,” said his promoter George Rose, a week after the fight. “For Tim, the point is to prove that it still belongs at the very top. Winning here winning here back to the mixture with the best in the world. Let’s be real, 154 pounds is now the best division in boxing. The names at the top are huge, and the name Tim deserves to be there.
“Everything that Tim must do is shake off from 2024 with an excellent performance, and he is able to hold him. A substantial win with Spencer, and we talk about Jermell Charlo, Keith Thurman, Sebastian Fund, Errol Spence, Vergil Ortiz … All fights that may follow the next.”
Spencer (19-1, 11 KO) is an extremely risky proposition for Tych. The 24-year-old from Michigan is already a nine-time American champion and has been advertised for some time as one of the real emerging boxing stars. He rides in a series of three fights, defeating Marcelo Fabian Bzowski, Janer Gonzalez and Miguel Angel Hernandez in the last 18 months. And although it will be his first time he fights away from American land, he is convinced that he has tools to break the Tsyzyu event.
“I feel great. It was a great time in Australia and a great ending at the camp,” Spencer said during the fight week. “I think Tim will come out tough. This is an significant fight for both of us. It’s all for both of us.
“For me I want to go to the next level, so I have to get this win. You only get so many boxes in boxing, so when you are in the position in which Tim is, you need to make sure that you will come back on the path of this winners. This is significant for both of us and bring the best of us.”
The story of two Teofimos: Mikey Garcia, the assessment of the form of Lopez, provides showdown barboza jr.; And Garcia’s approach to the inactivity of Ryan Garcia vs. Romero power
Mikey Garcia is not sure which version of Teofimo Lopez will see in his fight with Arnold Barboza Jr. On May 2 at the Times Square in Modern York. Garcia says that Teofimo (21-1, 13 KO) is worse when he is “unknown” or “undisturbed” during his fights. He says that we will see in the first two rounds if Teofimo is in vintage.
Mikey claims that we saw it from Brooklyn in Modern York, coming from “three different times”. He doesn’t remember which fights were Lopez, but he probably talks about these three:
– George Cambosos Jr. – Jamaine Ortiz – Sandor Martin
Lopez’s mental state
Teofimo probably lost all three fights, but the judges saved him in matches against Jamaine and Sandor. You can add Teofimo fights with Pedro Campa and Masayoshi dug up to the above list, where he looked unmistyed and Mentally unknown.
Because Teofimo is up and bottom mentally, he could fall apart over a well -learned warrior, such as Barboza Jr. (32-0, 11 people) and look unaware inside the ring against this guy. Barboz Jr. It is a level above some fighters with which Lopez has struggled in the past.
“I think Ryan wins. I think he catches and stops him, but as long as the fight lasts, roll is in battle,” said Mikey Garcia Little giant boxingAnticipating the fight Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando “Rolly” Romero next month at Times Square, Modern York.
“He will always be aggressive, he approaches, throwing blows and ***,” said Mikey about Rolly.
Ryan Garcia’s inaction can be played by a factor in this fight, because he will release from 13 months of release, and there are many signs of questions about whether he can oppose the warrior about the power of Rolly’s impact. Kingry was doing well in his last fight with Devin Haney, but he had a face in the face of a feeble warrior who kept a lot in the clash in April last year. Rolly will not hold and is not feeble.
“Two Teofimos” factor
“It depends on what Teo appears,” said Mikey, when asked about his forecast for the fight of Teofimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barboz Jr. On the card on May 2. “We saw it. It was not only once. We saw it in two or three different occasions, in which the unnotivated, undecided Teo appears, and he has a free night.
“But if the right Teo appears, swift, mighty, motivated, content, good energy, then I won Teo. We’ll see in the first few rounds. In the first or two round you will see him in the first round or two, which is in the ring,” said Mikey.
After providing an extremely humorous first duel, public demand is at the highest level, because fighting fans want to see the continuation of the WBA Lightweight World Gervonta “Tank” Davis Davis and the world champion of Super Feather WBA Lamont Roach Jr.
On the night of March 1, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Fresh York, the fight of Davis vs Roach began slowly, but when both warriors came to the rhythm, the action took place. It was a close tactical match, but at the end of the 12-round competition, three judges won it as a draw.
When the fight was first announced, hardcore boxing fans were not impressed by the duel, because they thought that Roach was a cherry choice. Accidental fans accepted the fight primarily because of the Baltimore-Washington DC competition. Master Gervonta Davis comes from Baltimore, and Challenger, Lamont Roach, comes from Washington
Usually, a typical Gervont Davis fight takes place like this favorite movie you watch over and over again. You know what will happen, but you still like to watch it. Davis usually starts slowly because he devotes his time to downloading data in the early rounds.
The opponent passes when he exerts intensive pressure in the middle rounds, and then stops opponents in later rounds. On the night of March 1, Lamont Roach refused to follow the script. Roach imitated a boxer from the 90s, who also left the script.
In November 1996, Mike Tyson defended his title WBA WBA Wain Wain World against Underdog Challenger Evander Holyfield. Everyone expected the artist Mike Tyson to stop Holyfield, but unfortunately his opponent did not get a note for Tyson.
On the night of the fight Evander Holyfield was ready and confident. Every time Tyson landed a significant shot, Holyfield provided an immediate answer. Holyfield fought in his pocket, deserved Tyson’s respect and detained Tyson in the eleventh round.
In the rematch Tyson was unable to intimidate Holyfield and bite Holyfield’s ear in the third round. After warning and punishing two points, Tyson was disqualified for the second time to bite Holyfield’s ear.
Twenty -eight years later, when Lamont Roach entered the square circle to face the knockout of Gervont “Tank” Davis, most fans of the fight assumed that Roach would manage early, but would stop in later rounds.
During the fight, Roach was prepared, focused and confident. When the fifth round was over, Davis spoke garbage, throwing three more left hands. Roach replied, talking and then landing many shots on the body.
A few seconds later, while the two boxers were involved in the clinch, Davis raised his right arm up and hit the chin. Roach replied, hitting Davis with a brief right hand. In the middle of round 6, it seemed that Davis tried to bite Roach’s ear.
Intimidation was not a factor, because Roach routinely stood in his pocket and traded with Davis. Critical not calling took place in the 9th place when Davis kneeling, but the judge did not rule it as knocking down. As he summed up the fight, one judge scored a fight (115-113) for Davis, and the other two judges won the fight (114-114).
Like Evander Holyfield, Lamont Roach was not surprised, being weaker who fought against the intimidating knockout artists. The only difference was the victory of Holyfield, and Roach had to settle with a draw.
However, because he achieved well and exceeded his expectations, Lamont Roach should be set to the revenge versus Gervont Davis in the near future. At this point, the question is, can Lamont Roach follow in the footsteps of Evander Holyfield and get a characteristic victory over the world -famous knockout artist?
