Promoter Frank Warren says his warrior, Hamzah Sheeraz, would have “Chance of beating” Canelo Alvarez, if he wins before Edgar Berlang in their fight on July 12 in Fresh York.

Alvarez sensitive?

The problem is that Hamzah (21-0-1, 17 KO) will not defeat Berlanges (23-1, 18 KO) to get from the exhausted Mexican star. Canelo looked 100% shot in relation to William Scull on May 3. As he looked, he lost to Sheeraz and in a rematch from Berlang. Both warriors may have too much firepower for Alvarez, whose work indicator has fallen almost nothing.

Sheeraz plays more than he can chew, heading against Berlanga, the size of a weight in the circuitous weight in his first fight in 168. He should start with a smaller warrior to acclimatize him to the division before he accepted the great puncher, such as Berlanga.

It doesn’t seem that Canelo will pass by her next opponent, Terenka Crawford, on September 12. Due to its strength smaller, more lively Bud Crawford has a good shot in winning this fight.

“Twenty years as a professional, he is [Canelo Alvarez] I have done it since he was a child. You look at him and wonder: “If Hamzah can beat [Edgar] Berlanga, then I have to like him so that he had a chance to beat Canelo, “said Frank Warren Ring magazine He would have a good chance of defeating Canelo about his belief that his warrior, Hamzah Sheeraz, if he got Edgar Berlang on July 12.

Sheeraz is in the face of beating?

Berlanga is much larger and stronger than Sheeraz that in the first few rounds he can blow him up in the next galaxy. It hits too demanding and Hamzah looks like he has a glass jaw.

You can’t blame Warren for supporting your warrior, Sheeraz, against Canelo, if he arrives so far. However, without a miracle of the event on July 12, he will be thrown out of the lottery by Berlang. The only way Hamzah would have a chance to fight Canelo if he loses this fight is Turks Alalshikh who wants to do it. I don’t know why he would do it if Berlanga lost.

"Robert Garcia Analyzes Tim Tszyu's Odds Against Erislandy Lara | Boxing News"

Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.

Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.

Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.

Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.

“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.

“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.

“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”

Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.

Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight

"Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight"

Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.

The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.

It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.

Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.

“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.

“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.

“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”

While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
