The best boxing plants for Lopez-Barboza, Canelo-Slull and more
Published

This weekend boxing fans will be treated with a uncommon list of boxing cards at the highest level, because in the next three nights a tent event will take place.
On Friday at the Times Square in Recent York in Dazn, he organizes the Pay-Per-View event, in which there are three best teenage stars of this sport: Teofimo Lopez, Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia. Lopez wants to defend his title WBO Junior Welter Wweight against Arnold Barboz Jr. Haney will face the former champion of the welterweight champion Jose Ramirez, and Garcia will face Rolando Romero in the main event (Dazn PPV).
On Saturday, Canelo Alvarez will enter the ring for the first time this year, when he equalizes with William Scull in the unification of the title of a super medium weight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (Dazn PPV). And the arranged weekend ends when the ESPN warrior for 2 pounds for the pound of Nayya Inoue placed his unquestionable featherweight championship on the line against Ramon Cardenas on Sunday (ESPN/ESPN+, 22:00 ET).
Here are the best factories from a boxing weekend. All chances of ESPN BET
Ryan Garcia vs. Romero “Rolly”, May 2
Below 6.5 rounds. As a favorite almost 9 to 1, Garcia wants to make another statement after his nervous win with Haney in April 2024-the decision made, which was later changed to the lack of a competition after a positive Garcia test for a forbidden substance. Garcia plays Romero with a power colleague in Romero in a witty fight for as long as it lasts. While both men are based on their knockout, Garcia’s speed will be a difference in relation to the penniless defense of Romero. Garcia, to win through KO/TKO, is around -300, which is too exorbitant for me. If it is to do this, it probably happens between rounds 3-6, so let’s take below 6.5 rounds or if you can get an alternative round in good condition, I wouldn’t mind below 7.5 rounds.
Devin Haney vs. Jose Ramirez, May 2
Haney won by a decision. This seems to be a struggle for a reflection for Haney. It is true that his loss against Garcia was overturned, but Haney was dominated in every aspect of this duel. Haney, fighting with Ramirez, who feels a loss, seems to be an opportunity to return to the win column. Haney is a significant bookmaker’s favorite, and even the price for betting rounds is too high. I take Haney to win by a decision in Parlay. This seems to be a common way Haney wins, and after fighting Garcia he will want to get a sheltered and pure victory.
WBO Junior Welter Wweight championship: Teofimo Lopez Jr. vs. Arnold Barboza Jr., May 2
Lopez to win. It should be a fun fight there and back. Both warriors have well -rounded skill sets and great durability that this Bell Bell will bring. Lopez met a higher level competition during his career and is a former unquestioned lightweight champion. It also has the edge of power and speed. I think it will be the X factor in this fight. I also don’t see where Barbosa gives Lopez trouble or surprises him to everyone that he has not seen before. Lopez is a favorite of almost 2 to 1, so I take the money line here. If the number is higher, take Lopez to win a plus on rounds to get better chances.
Unquestioned medium championship: Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull, May 3
Alvarez is Win by Ko/TKO. In such steep opportunities you can’t take Alvarez to the money line. It is not even worth putting this plant into a couple. However, in a much more accessible line I am ready to shoot at Alvarez, winning Ko/TKO, because he is a better warrior with greater knockout power. Alvarez is one of the best boxers in the history of this sport. It’s not about whether he knocked out Scull, it’s a matter of when he does it.
The unquestionable featherweight junior championships: Nayya Inoue vs. Ramon Cardenas, May 4
Inoue to win between rounds 4-6. Inoue is another huge favorite on these weekend cards and rightly so, because it will probably provide us with another win in Nokautie. Inoue is almost impossible to put up, because even taking him to win by KO/TKO has almost -1000 opportunities. However, I see the value to take him to win between rounds 4-6 with almost +175 chances. In the past, we have seen that Inoue was hit at the beginning of his fights and sometimes he does not pour it into the middle rounds, where he takes over the tempo and power.

Roy Jones Jr urges Tyson Fury to avoid two men ahead of Anthony Joshua fight: ‘They could spoil the party’

As Tyson Fury searches for an August opponent, fan-favorite four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr. advises “The Gypsy King” to stay away from two rumored opponents who he believes “could crash the party” ahead of his highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua.
Although AJ is scheduled to face Kristian Prenga on Saturday, July 25 in preparation for his clash with Fury, the latter is yet to announce who will be in the opposing team’s corner for his next fight.
As a result, many names have been linked to an attempt to thwart Fury’s plans for a “Battle of Britain” between himself and “AJ”; with Nelson Hysa understood as the current “leading option”.
However, both Andy Ruiz Jr and Jarrell Miller were also mentioned for away corners. I’m talking to Betting showroomJones told Fury to avoid both men, believing that any “real challenge” could foil his plans.
“I know what they’re doing and I understand the warm-up fights for both of them. I just hope they’re warm-up fights and not real challenges, because if they’re real challenges, no one will win.”
“It happens every time. Every time they fight a real challenge, before they start fighting each other, someone gets defeated.
“So I hope they take real warm-up fights and not real fights, because if they take two real fights, someone’s going to lose. I hope it’s not Andy Ruiz and I hope it’s not ‘Huge Baby’ Miller for Fury.”
“I think Fury can really beat them both, but Andy Ruiz ruined the party on Joshua’s side one time. Please don’t let him ruin the party again.
“Miller is no bum either. Both Miller and Andy Ruiz can crash a party.”
Fury’s opponent is expected to be confirmed soon, along with his The “run out” is scheduled to take place in August.

Devin Haney must defend against Keyshawn Davis or the title will be vacant

Devin Haney may have his sights set on the long-talked-about fight against Shakur Stevenson, but the WBO has made it clear that another opponent is on the agenda.
Haney and Stevenson recently exchanged messages online in which both men appeared ready to face each other at the 144-pound catchweight division. With neither fighter currently scheduled to return, speculation surrounding the matchup quickly escalated.
However, the sanctioning body maintained its position regarding Haney’s responsibilities as WBO welterweight champion.
“Devin must next release himself from his mandatory duties,” the WBO said Ring.
The statement was released after Keyshawn Davis was elevated to No. 1 in the latest WBO welterweight rankings following his decision to begin his full-time campaign at 147 pounds. The Ring reported that Haney’s mandatory title defense is scheduled to take place in August, leaving little room for alternative plans if he intends to retain the belt.
Keyshawn has already hinted that he is done competing in the welterweight division after victories over Jamain Ortiz and Nahir Albright earlier this year. He later reinforced that commitment by turning down the opportunity to fight Lindolfo Delgado for the vacant IBF 140-pound title.
Haney publicly acknowledged Davis as a potential opponent, but also maintained that the highlight would be the fight with Stevenson. Meanwhile, Stevenson insisted that any fight between the pair would have to be at the 144-pound catchweight.
If Haney fights Stevenson next, it appears the WBO is ready to strip him of his welterweight title. If he wants to remain a champion, the organization’s message remains unchanged: Keyshawn Davis comes first.

Shakur Stevenson says Prime Minister Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Prime Minister Floyd Mayweather ‘wouldn’t be competitive’

Hailed as the number one pound-for-pound advantage in boxing history, Sugar Ray Robinson is appreciated by purists, while Floyd Mayweather is considered by many to be the best fighter since the turn of the millennium. Now undefeated four-division champion Shakur Stevenson has commented on what a fight between the two would look like.
One of the reasons for the pound-for-pound classification is that Robinson lost only one of his first 132 professional fights and is considered by the masses to be the greatest boxer to ever grace the sport.
But speaking further Ward’s Art Podcastcurrent pound-for-pound star Stevenson has stated that he doesn’t believe a fight between Robinson and Mayweather would be competitive at all, confidently choosing contemporary great go upstairs.
“Floyd Mayweather [would have won]without a doubt. Floyd Mayweaher, no doubt, not even close, nothing to even think about.
“I don’t think it would be a competitive fight.”
Stevenson then expanded on his opinion, stating that Mayweather’s style is simply much more “evolved” and that his defensive advantage would prove too much for Robinson to overcome.
“Floyd Mayweather had a different look, so Floyd put his hands up [high guard]he would have his hands right here [in front of his chest] sometimes he had it here [Philly Shell]he had a different look. I feel like his game was much more developed than Sugar Ray Robinson’s.
“A lot of times, if you watch Sugar Ray Robinson, his hands were always there [left hand low, right hand on chin]. From an offensive standpoint, Sugar Ray Robinson would be harder to deal with than Floyd Mayweather.
“But from a defensive standpoint and who could have done more, who has the better boxing, IQ and skill, I think Floyd Mayweather was way ahead of Sugar Ray Robinson.”
This debate is arguably one of the toughest fantasy matchups in boxing, not only because of their extraordinary talent, but also because they competed in very different eras, under different rules, training methods and levels of competition, making any direct comparisons speculative.
