The first fight was nothing engaging. Oleksandr Usyk, a valued heavyweight multititlist, was dropped by what some described as a body blow and what others described as a low blow. The judge decided that it was a low blow, and then maybe it seemed that he would like to give Usyk to all the time necessary to completely recover after the shot. Suffice it to say that Usyk won this fight after stopping in the ninth round. However, while Usyk remained invincible, he also left the ring with several questions that evening. And although he has been defeated Tyson Fury since then, a man who placed Usyk on the mat, legally or illegally, missed the next Crack Usyk.

And it was not a surprise when the news appeared that Daniel Dubois actually met with Usyk for the second time this summer. Name this unfinished business. To make the situation even more engaging, the summer rematch will have the undisputed world championships in ponderous weight. Dubois has the title of IBF heavyweight, while WBA, WBC and WBO titles are in the possession of Usyk. The truth is that Usyk will be a favorite walking in T to this. In addition to defeating Fury twice, he beat Anthony Joshua twice.

Add the facts that Usyk was once the undisputed heavyweight champion and was previously the undisputed champion of scales in weight and it is basic to understand why it is arduous to bet against man. Still, Dubois is not a joke. In addition to the battle with Utyk, the man was able to knock out Joshua in the fifth round of his clamorous fight in September in September. What’s more, Jarrell Miller and Flip Hrgovic were detained by Dubois at a distance earlier. Do not make a mistake, Dubois deserved a rematch.

Usyk-Dubois 2 will pass on July 19 at the Wembley stadium. Although this means that Dubois will fight in his homeland, it is worth noting that Usyk has never had problems fighting on British land before. Ask Joshua, Derek Chisora ​​or Tony Bellew. Despite this, there is no doubt that Dubois will be well motivated when he slipped to the ring to create a story against the Utyk this summer. This is an engaging duel, if not spectacular, a fight worth a significant noise. Finally, when the ponderous weight championships are threatened, it is always worth paying attention to.

The scented mental state of Teofimo Lopez will be crucial for him in the fight against Arnold Barboza Jr. The next Friday, May 2, Dazn PPV.

Wunerality Teofimo

• Inaction
• Consistent mentally
• Problems with boxers/movements
• You can’t deal with adversities

Arnold (32-0, 11 KO) is not so swift and does not throw a combination like Jamaine. It is qualified, moves well and has a perfect stab. This is the weapon that Arnold used to defeat his last two opponents, Jake Cattell and Jose Ramirez.

When Teo is turned on, it is great, it looks unbeatable, but it is not consistent enough to count it. He will have to be 100%to win against Barboz Jr., because this guy was much more busy with his career than he. He is now fighting at a high level with his recent victories over Ramirez and Cattell.

“We have to enter and keep this belt, stop this Ring magazine. So we will appear on May 2 and show why we are the best,” Teofimo Senior continued. “He is faster, smarter, stronger and comes to take it all.”

Mental minefield

Disability and delicate mental state of the WBO Lopeza Master exposed him to risk in this fight against the mandatory contender No. 1, Barboza Jr. (32-0, 11 KO). Almost a year has passed since the last fight of Teofimo with Steve Claggett on June 29.

He did not look good in this fight, flowing from the ropes like a large bird, allowing the Claggett journeyman to unload his hefty artillery on it without interruption. Although Lopez won, his eyes were badly swollen and looked on a terrible view. His promoter, Bob Arum, did not look joyful after the fight against his performance.

The commonly emaciated Chris Eubank Jr. He came overweight at 160.05 during today’s weighing to fight Conor Bennem on Saturday evening in Dazn PPV. A smaller warrior, Benn, arrived at 150.4 pounds.

We always knew that it would be hard for the former super medium weight Eubank Jr., but today he showed that he made a mistake, agreeing to a 160 pound limit, along with a medieval 10-pound dehydration clause, which allowed a limit of 170 pounds.

Eubank Jr.

Chris Eubank Jr. He will have to pay a fine of $ 500,000, and this applies to a fine of $ 100,000 for Egging Benn during a press conference. This is $ 600,000 and can be additionally punished if it weighs over 170 pounds on Saturday as part of a 10-pound hydration clause. This penalty is $ 1 million.

Eubank Jr. Apparently, he receives a bag of $ 10 million per fight. So, even if he loses $ 1.6 million, he will still know how the bank’s robber with remaining cash.

Promoter Benna, Eddie Hearn, was in a elated mood, talking about Eubank Jr. Lacking the weight, treating him as if it was Conor’s victory. In the way he says, he has an idea in his head that Chris Jr. It will be exhausted enough for Benna (23-0, 14 KO) to win.

“Amazing. Half the ounce and so close. Unfortunately, of course there is no problem with the fight, but of course there are consequences for the missing weight that is already contracted,” said Eddie Hearn supervisor. Ring magazine About Chris Eubank Jr. No mass.

“Everything is all good. Junior missed the weight, but Conor did it at 156.4, feeling unbelievable, feeling fresh, feeling hydration and ready to work. I think he would bring weight if he changed several things.”

It does not matter that Benn had no problems with heavyness and will be on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London. He will still be far beyond his league, heading against Eubank Jr.

“He missed the weight and tomorrow we go to the next weighing [with a 10-lb rehydration limit]. There will be 162 in the ring. That’s all – said Hearn about Benn. “Eubank will have 176.

Conor distributes a stone in the ring, which is a huge disadvantage. This tiny period is probably the advantage of Conor because he feels amazing. “
