You have to joke. Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull was not just boring-it was a television nap, a 12-round sleepy, who made the fans stare at their screens, wondering if someone forgot to tell the fighters that they fought. It’s not only weaker – he offended everyone who stayed, paid or wasted a weekend night, hoping for the action. And yet here, with Scull running in his mouth, claiming that he should have won. Incredible.

Sculla’s reasoning? “If he doesn’t hit me, why should I risk it?” Oh, please. This is not a tactical genius – it hides. This hopes to skate, doing less than a second guy. Sure, Cuban style values ​​defense, but this is not an excuse to throw a handful of blows within 36 minutes and pretend that you will master “The Sweet Science”. It is called boxing, not “they exist quietly in the ring.”

And now, like salt in an open wound, Amir Khan jumps. Khan – the same guy who took his head through Canelo years ago – now he says that Scull won.

You watched the Canelo vs. disaster Scull and went away, thinking that Scull won for two rounds? Did you fall asleep in half and dreamed another fight? Because the rest of us were extensive-painted-observing one of the slowest, most dead 12-order in the latest memory.

“It was the prettiest and could go both ways.” Pretty? Pretty What, Amir – quite terrible? Quite embarrassing? Quite close to a far -free farce? Come, man. You were in great fighting. You know what the performance looks like, and it wasn’t. Scull landed next to nothing. Canelo was barely sweating. The only thing that should “leave in both directions” was remote control.

“I probably won Scull in two rounds.” Based on what exactly? Returning back convincing? Are you smiling at Canelo between rounds? Do you throw away an occasional stab in the air? It’s one thing to be generous. This is another to be completely detached from reality.

“I like Canelo, I think he is a great warrior and I think he chose shots better and laid shots.” Right – so do you admit that Canelo has landed better and cleaner, and yet you hand it to Scull? This is not an analysis, it is a comedy sketch.

“Regardless of how the fight went, it was a great performance of both fighters.” No, Amir. NO. It wasn’t. It was a sluggish, continuous, awkward event that caused the fans to mumble “Never Again” before the last bell rang. Calling this “great” spits in the face of every fan who sat through him, hoping for something he will happen.

Let’s explain: “Performance” Sculla encourages this rubbish. He tells the fighters that they can choose, hug, dance and still pat on the back. And from the former master, no less – he is embarrassing.

Here is a suggestion, Amir: Next time, let’s say it was a misfire. Say that Scull survived, maybe he approached your eyes, but don’t insult boxing, dressing it as “great”. Fans deserve honesty, not an illusion.

Recent York – in the middle of a warm tourist place there was something strange known as Times Square, leaving pedestrians about their minds and photos of the boxing ring and the structure around him in the rolls of the camera.

“What happens and how to get to the other side of Fifth Avenue?” The pedestrian asked the officer who supervised this area.

Another was with a friend visiting California. When it was said that the area was constrained, the local issued her frustration, saying: “She came here to make the Times Square blocked. I don’t even know what was going on.”

“This is an exclusive, substantial match,” answered a security worker.

Many observers did not know that they were witnessing history.

Last Friday, “Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves” was marked, the first event that transformed the Times Square to the outdoor box.

The card was the headline Ryan Garcia, who fought for the first time since the annual suspension for positive testing of the drug with the results, taking Rolando “Rolly” Romero. Devin Haney received Jose Ramirez, and Teofimo Lopez faced Arnold Barboza Jr.

Unlike the average boxing event, the impact and stabs helped strengthen the filled airy atmosphere of Times Square. Here’s what made the historic box of boxing so special.

Ring

The ring was set on the seventh Avenue in front of the ABC television studio “Good Morning America” ​​and Carlo’s Bake Shop, from Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Taco Bell and Tough Rock Cafe on the other side of the street. He was in a configuration, which contained four pillars with a roof and four compact video boards.

Father and coach Haney, Bill Haney, says that the location of the match is second to none.

“I was in the fight with 50,000 people and I would have to say that this is the most iconic, historical struggle that I witnessed my whole life,” said Bill ESPN. “Here in the middle of the Times Square. If you told me last year that we would be here and we would fight or I just saw the fight [let] Being part of it myself, I wouldn’t believe it. I feel I’m dreaming. “

Boxing fans had the opportunity to watch this event

Tickets are not on sale for this program, pedestrian crossings were blocked, fans of barricades and tourists in the gates, with video screens available in many locations in the area. As the fight progressed at night, delayed roars from dispersed crowds around the place in three different designated scenic areas could be heard when a great hit was delivered.

Oscar de la Hoya: “It’s amazing”

Oscar de la Hoya, promoter Golden Boy, who had three fighters on the card (Garcia, Ramirez and Barboza), said that this location was different than any other sports event.

“There is no comparison in boxing within 45 years,” said De La Hoya on Thursday. “I think that it believes everything in boxing or in any sport, literally. I don’t think we have a live basketball in the Times Square. … I think it’s very special, it’s amazing, it’s amazing.”

Everyone was watching

One thing in boxing fans is that they will find a way to see a immense card. Different screens around the Times Square were an opportunity for those who did not have access to the ring, watch immense video screens. The ring was surrounded by fences, which stood about 12 feet height covered with a red tarpaulin, blocking the external view to contain exclusivity of the event. But the fans found a way to watch, even from nearby platforms and buildings.

In the place where Recent Year’s Eve falls, a group of construction workers probably had one of the best observation points to watch the action. Dressed in working vests and difficult hats, employees gathered at the construction site. They watched early fights, leaning over the handrails, then pulled the chairs into the platform to watch the main events. Employees became comfortable when Garcia took Romero, eventually removing difficult hats and vests.

Celebrities, athletes and boxing royal

In addition to the Snoop Dogga, Tupac Shakura, Harry Potter, Hulk Hogan, Michael Jackson and Four Elmos, in every direction you looked. The viewers sat in three sections. The north-south sections consisted of stars such as actor Michael J. Fox, streamers Ishowpeed and Amp, legendary drummer Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett, rapper/actor Ice-T and Recent York Kninsk Center Karl-Anthony Towns, freshly after the victorious performance at night, when Knicks eliminated Detroit Pistons in the night. The first round of the game in Easern Conference.

The boxeries sat east of the ring. The airy champion Shakur Stevenson was one of the first boxers who came to witness a historical night before joining him by the younger medium weight master, Terenka Crawford, who built a lot of noise for his fight against Canelo Alvarez from Canelo Alvarez. Former heavyweight master, Mike Tyson, lit a navy blue satin suit, taking pictures with fans.

FDNY VS. Nypd

The first respondents organize an annual charity event entitled Battle of the Blagges, in which it contains amateur boxing matches between policemen from Recent York and firefighters. He uses the Tunnel 2 Towers Foundation, which provides significant facilitate to the first persons providing rescuers and military veterans. An hour before the start of Friday’s professional card, firefighter James Gennari from Ladder 24 and police officer Joel Allen arrived at the ring in the right colors of the bathrobe (blue for NYPD, Red for Fnny), leaving vehicles related to their professions.

Time to prepare

Barbosa sat in the hotel ballroom to grab his hands, and the gloves recorded before his fight against Lopez. To start a journey to the ring wrapped in a white and blue robe and a white hat, Barboza and his team went to the escalator to leave the hotel.

Taxi, taxi!

Without a cloakroom connected with a place, the question was how fighters arrive at the ring. Answer? With style. The wardrobe fighters were in the hotel blocks from the ring and were taken to the ring in classic cars – some in characteristic yellow cabins in Recent York. It took about eight minutes to get from the hotel from the hotel.

Fighters in WBO Junior Welter weighed to the ring in vintage -fashioned taxis through the streets of Recent York City, when fans cheered and recorded them on mobile devices. Lopez, born in Brooklyn, took it at the time of the fight in his yard. When he reached the ring with the “NYPD” vest, supporters of the American chant “Teo”.

Replace Devin Haney

Haney entered the ring to “Many Misl Men” 50 Cent with a black leather jacket and black leather trunks. When he jumped around the ring, he quickly looked around various billboards outside the ring and about how a handful of fans were mainly celebrities and other boxers on the spot. Although Haney is used to fighting thousands of fans, the exclusivity seemed to drive a 26-year-old.

“You can’t prepare for it. It’s so iconic and I don’t think it is repeated for a long time,” said Bill Haney.

Romero pays tribute “Return to the future”

Romero chose the “Back to the Future” theme for the main event. His team was equipped with turquoise overalls from “Rolly McFly” at the back in Pink in Pink to the future inscription.

To complement this topic, the boxing Romero replied Marty McFly, the character of Michael J. Fox, who was present. They were like the self -sufficient Nike sneakers worn in the continuation of the film series “Back to the Future”.

Romero came to the ring in a creamy cream in cream color equipped with hydraulics and bogus, dressed in a pink-yellow sleeve jacket.

Time for the main event

It was expected that Garcia’s return would be immense. He wore a blue look with the participation of “King Ryan” at the back of the robe, with cross wings and angels. Pryki Garcia contained crosses on every leg, from “King” at the front and “Ryan” at the back. He finished appearance with white shoes with the same pattern as his robe and trunks.

The hotel entrance was crowded when Garcia went to an escort vehicle to the ring. His riding was Batmobile, which established the standard of fighting. He climbed the ropes so that Lupe Fiasco “Superstar” with the participation of Matthew Santos.

Garcia was knocked down in the second round by the left hook Romero. With clothes, few fans the answer to knocking was tranquil. The only sounds were cars, bicycle bells, car horns and sirens.

Tyson and Stevenson were moved by knocking down Romero.

Ultimately, Romero broke Garcia’s return and a potential rematch against Haney with a nervous result card 115-112, 115-112 and 118-109. Romero still guaranteed a rematch.

“I think Devin and Ryan should get a rematch and make him substantial,” said Romero.

Terenka Crawford smiled like Cheshire Cat Last Saturday evening, asked if he plans to fight twice with the undisputed master of super medium weight, Canelo Alvarez before retiring. This smile on Crawford’s face said everything. He hopes that Turks Alalshikh will give him two fights with the Mexican star, not just on September 12 in Las Vegas.

Crawford did not beat anyone to fight Canelo. This is a problem. He does not want to go to 168 to test against David Morrell or David Benavidez to show that he is worthy of a huge form that he intends to receive. He fights for what he did in the past in other weight classes, against warriors such as Jeff Horn, Kell Brook, Amir Khan and Julius Indongo.

I would like Turks to turn around and told Crawford that he wants him to go through the fire, to get money from Canelo, fighting with Benavidez and Morrell in the fighting. If he refuses, go to more distinguished fighters who want to work in the fight against Canelo.

Smile $ 100 million

Crawford’s fight to fight Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO) is estimated at around $ 100 million. So if he fights him twice, he will retire $ 220 million. Celebrity Net Worth estimates the current Crawford fortune at $ 20 million, most of which of which of the last two fights with Israil Madrimov and Errol Spence.

He would be worth a lot more if he remained busy, fighting three times a year instead of every year. If Terenka did it, the chances of losing repeatedly would be high, because he is not the same warrior he once was from time to 154.

Crawford probably lost his last fight with Israil Madrimov, but the judges gave him a decision. Even Canelo thought Crawford lost, saying that he “lost or a draw” against Madrimov. So, if Buda remained busy, he is expected to fight the killers such as Janibek Alimkhuly, Bakhram Murtazaliev, Jaron Ennis and David Benavidez.

You can understand why Crawford decided to sit on his back side, waiting for the golden Parachute Payrement Payred to fall into his Japan through the forces of gravity without lifting his finger. This is a kind of pathetic way to fight Canelo, especially when more arduous fighters such as David Benavidez are ignored in favor of Crawford.

“Canelo is a” face face “. He is the best warrior for Terenka Crawford. Fight Hub tv, Speaking of your fight with Canelo Alvarez on September 12 in Las Vegas.

Crawford’s fresh habit of speaking in a third person is what some fans perceive as a sign that he became a narcissist, and his wins over the supple opposition went to his head. It seems to be a classic example of a boxer who thinks that he can walk on water after feeding too many cans of tomatoes. They begin to think that they are omnipotence and can do anything.

Does Crawford think he can beat Canelo? I don’t think so. If he did this, he would move to 168 during the free year and would take the best contenders, Diego Paczeco, Christian Mbilli and Oslyys Iglesias to show that he is able to defeat Alvarez.

A target worth $ 200 million?

“On September 12, we’ll see if the weight makes a difference or not. One fight at once,” said Crawford, when he was asked if he was planning to fight Canelo twice.

“No, no. I think William [Scull] He coped well with the neutralization of Canelo power. He just moved a lot. I don’t know, because if you watched the styles that have overcome him [Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Dmitry Bivol]They didn’t move much. They moved a bit, but not as much as William Scull.

“Top, honey. Come,” said Crawford, when it was asked where the victory over Canelo places him among the great all-time in boxing. “Be yourself, that’s all,” said Crawford about what he will take him to defeat Alvarez.
