Forget about Conor Benn Rematch, Chris Eubank Jr. He should now focus on Canelo Alvarez

Published

on

London – Chris Eubank Jr. Not only did he decide his refusing dispute with Conor Benn on Saturday, but also maintained his family tradition.

But now it’s time for Eubank Jr. He left the competition and continued the fight against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.

The Eubank family now has 2-0 (1 draw) in one of the longest and most notable boxing competitions. Unanimous winnings with Eubank Jr. (116-112, 116-112, 116-112) After a fierce battle, there is three years later, won by Conor Nigel’s dad for the title of world average in 1990.

It was also a ecstatic moment when Eubank Jr. He was again connected to his dad after a recent accident. Last week, Chris Jr regretted his dad Chris, who recently called him a “disgrace” for breaking the egg at Benna at a press conference, but in an unexpected jump Chris SR arrived at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium with his son to see him later, to provide inspiration.

The appearance of Chris Sr. It was a blow we didn’t see, and it was a huge enhance in morale for Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 Kos), which had moments of domination in battle. He kept Benn’s furious assault and answered his own, while his stab was a reliable force all the time.

In the 4th round, Eubank was educated by Belter of the upper right, which Benn did well to absorb. Just as Chris went through the abrasion of the meeting to throw himself at the hurt Nigel and force the stop in the 9th round of WBO World Title Title Walk in 1990, Chris Jr. He bounced off the unorganized round 10 to dominate the last rounds in the middle weight duel.

Benn, 28, (23-1, 14 KO) looked into trouble in the 12th round, but boldly resisted the attack during his first professional failure.

Can this victory over Conor Bennem be just as transforming in Chris Jr.’s career as the victory of Chris SR over Nigel Benn was for him? 35 -year -old Chris Jr from Brighton had a year when his dad defeated Nigel in Birmingham to win his first world championship title.

Chris Jr. He has not yet won the full version of one of the four world titles, but his victory over Conor should lead him to the title of world shot this year. He deals with number 3 from WBC and IBF World Enderning Bodies, whose masters are Janibek Alimkhanuly and Carlos Adames, respectively.

However, taking into account his problems with achieving a weight limit of 160 pounds, it would not be a surprise for Eubank JR to act in a super medium weight. He failed to achieve the weight limit on Friday by 0.05 pounds and had to pay a fine of $ 500,000 (375,000 pounds).

Eubank Jr. He also had to follow the Rehydration clause 10 pounds, which means that on Saturday morning he could not weigh over 170 pounds. Eubank Jr would be a tough fight for Alimkhanuly, but the English warrior can now go in a different direction.

Larger and more lucrative possibilities are offered for Eubank Jr. In the Super Middle Wweight, for example, a shot in the most crucial attraction Boxing Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO), 34, from Mexico.

WBC-WBBA WBBO World Super Middle Wweight will face Cuban William Scull (23-0, 9 KO) on May 3, and if Canelo wins to face the American Terenka Crawford on September 13.

The Riyadowy season of Saudi Arabia has already discussed the potential of Canelo and Eubank Jr. Clings in 2026, but this schedule line allows Eubank Jr. fight again this year.

Benn, who lives in Essex after upbringing in Spain and Australia, suggested that he would remain in medium weight after the fight, but can find better opportunities to get the first title of the world in a younger medium weight or in welterweight.

Benn began 2025, calling for a fight compared to Mario Barros, a WBC welterweight master and took 3rd place with the world management body. It was the best night of Conor’s career, but it is still not enough to consider him on an equal footing with my dad.

Benn (42-5-1, 35 KO), 61 and Eubank (45-5-2, 23 KO), 58 who were strangely sitting next to each other in Tottenham, were larger stars in Great Britain, and also achieved more in the ring.

Both won world titles in medium and super medium weight, while Conor and Chris Jr. They haven’t had the full world title yet. The fight against Canelo would raise his career Eubank Jr. At the highest level so far – and it will probably be prioritized to anything else, including a rematch with Benn.

Defeating Canelo would overshadow even every victory that his father managed, and the lucrative duel with Mexico must now be Eubank Jr.’s focus.

Andy Cruz started to social media to express his disappointment with his “son”, Keyshawn Davis, for not earning weight and deprived of his delicate title WBO last Friday evening in Norfolk, Virginia. It seems that Keyshawna is becoming more and more celebrating his career because of his actions. Cruz claims that this is “not my values ​​I taught him.”

Cruz: “Not my values”

The Olympic gold medalist 2020 Cruz says that they “are not the values” that Keyshawn taught in amateur times, and claims that he will be “connected” with him on time. Keyshawn is now planning a campaign as a slight welterweight weight to facilitate his emphasis. He should have done this a year ago, when it became clear that he was too large for the division 135 pounds.

Davis had a bad week. Not only did he lose the title, winning 4.3 pounds above the delicate limit, but last Saturday he took a quarrel with his former opponent, Nahir Albright, in his wardrobe. It happened after Albright defeated his older brother Keyshawn, Kelvin Davis, a decision about most of the 10-rund.

“As a father, I feel disappointed with my son because these [coming in Overweight by 4.3 lbs last Friday] They are not the values ​​I showed him. As regards [Keyshawn] Weighing it, it’s okay. Ultimately, it’s a matter of time before the father and son are united again. He will never escape me. Sooner or later he will join his father again – said Andy Cruz to Matchroom Boxing, choosing a disturbed weight Keyshawn Davis last Friday for his dismissed defense of the title against Edin Los Santos.

Cuban Andy Cruz defeated Davis four times with amateurs, including in the finals of the 2020 Olympic Games. In Keyshawn professionals, he did not show the fight against Cruz again, and many think they are afraid again.

The upcoming eliminator of the Andy title

Cruz (5-0, 2 KO) fights with Hironori Mishiro (17-1-1, 6 KO) in a 12-round delicate eliminator of the IBF title on Saturday, June 14 in Dazn. The winner of their fight will be a mandatory pretender to the IBF 135-LB Raymond Muratalla champion. Cruz-Mishiro is the factor of the Richardson Hitchins vs. card George Cambosos Jr. at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Modern York.

Haney’s style under fire, when Turks Alalshikh is looking for brawlers, not runners, affecting his career

Image: Haney's Style Under Fire as Turki Alalshikh Seeks Brawlers, Not Runners, Impacting His Career

Post Turki Alalshikh about the departure from “Tom and Jerry” Fighting towards more aggressive can affect the future of Devin Haney on his Riyadh seasonal cards if he is still invited.

He would send a sturdy message if Turki decides not to include Devin in any of his programs in the future. It would signal that he means business. It was probably the worst thing Haney heard: Turki wants full of fighting.

Turk’s attitude: Haney’s future

Haney does not seem to be able to transform into a kind of aggressive warrior whom Turki wants at his events. He is not able to stand in his pocket and will be asked in a way from head to toe against the opposition with power.

Dad Devina, Bill Haney, must rebuild him so that he was the type of warrior whose Turki wants on his combat cards. It is not clear whether he will receive a second chance after his performance on the card on May 2.

Never more straightforward money

If Haney (32-0, 15 KO) is an undesirable person for Turk’s events, he will be forced to live a difficult life he had when he was to produce a lot of money. Haney would not receive $ 10 million to fight venerable veterans. Perhaps he was not able to adapt to the climate in which you must go against the killers.

Haney’s options

– Rolando “Rolly” Romero
– Mario Barrios
– Manny Pacquiao
– Conor Benn

Shakur Stevenson also touched

Turki wants to end the fight. His statement was addressed to both warriors and promoters who manage them. Not only Haney will affect Alalshikha’s pursuit of more full of combat action. It’s Shakur Stevenson. He is one of the main fighters who usually exploit the lifeless running style, which reverses fans from watching this sport.

Devin’s career is in a bad place because she exceeded the divisions 135 and 140 pounds. He will not be able to exploit his size to win the fight, as in the past against less opposition in these weight classes. What little power he did not wear until 147. He looked feeble against Ramirez. Who can defeat Devin in addition to the WBC WBC welterweight master Mario Barrios to get a nice payment day? Jaron Ennis will not meet him because he is interested in winning world titles.

Promoter Oscar de la Hoya has already said that Ryan will not fight Haney now. He wants him to fight the rematch with Rolando Romero.

Pacquiao regrets that without postponing the fight of Mayweather

Published

By: Sean Crose

Everyone regrets. This even applies to legendary fighters such as Manny Pacquiao. Preparing to return to the fight with Mario Barrios this summer, Pacquiao opened about one of his great regret in the boxing sport. “If I could change one thing in my career,” he said, for a few seconds, “I would ask to postpone my fight with Floyd Mayweather in 2015 after hurting my arm during training.

Indeed, Pacquiao hurt his rotational cuff, preparing for his great fight against Mayweather in 2015. Regardless of whether the Mayweather eventually won the fight because of Pacquiao or not, the fact that Pacquiao was still fighting Mayweather after hurting his arm, for years clearly worried Pacquiao.

“I thought it would be fine and that I would feel better without surgery after suffering from this injury two weeks before the fight,” he added, “but my injury worsened after the third round. Pushing this crucial fight that happened according to the plan is my greatest regret.”

While Pacquiao remains one of the largest and most beloved fighters over the past half century, it does not perceive the fact that the loss is a loss, despite the reasons or excuses that can be given. Despite this, Pacquiao regrets that he has postponed Mayweather’s fight until he was in perfect physical shape, and this is understandable. Many would accuse Pacquiao of an attempt to get out of the fight, but Pacquiao, in retrospect, believe that a healthier arm would lead to a better result.

Regardless of how everything went to Mayweather, it cannot be denied that Pacquiao still attracted eyeballs and attention to his last fight, which was a loss for Yordenis Ugas a few years ago. Now, however, he is coming back, as if so many great tried to come back in the past. While George Foreman turned out to be an exception to the rule, the majority of returning the substantial ones do not work well after he was away from the ring for some time. And Pacquiao is now closer to 50 than 40.

It seems that Mayweather also had difficulties, adapting to life outside the ring … If it is tough to earn a lot of money in exhibition duels. It seems that there is something in this sport that has the endless charm of those who mastered it. It is worrying that after a certain age of the warrior he can be seriously hurt. This is not an opinion, but a fact. If Pacquiao is hurt in the return of this summer, his injury leading to the Walkeather fight may seem irrelevant.
