The ambitions of the world title Goodman are still alive – barely.
The invincible Australian returned to the Hordenstan Pavilion in Sydney on Wednesday evening and won the dominant, but coarse decision over Mexico Cesar Vaca. It was supposed to be pure tuning. Instead, Goodman left the ring covered with blood and sewed again – but with on the board.
The judges won it 100-90, 99-91 and 99-92. No controversy. Only damage.
Goodman was at the top of the Super Bantamweight Division. At the beginning of this year, he was to face Nayy Inoue – a weight class monster – until the nasty training camp did not kill sleep. This fight concerned the restoration of the momentum and regaining his name in the mix.
He did it. But not without drama.
Goodman boxed sharply through the first half, dictating the pace, landing tidy work and never allowing Vaca to reach a foothill. But as the rounds of the fights passed, they became disordered. Goodman suffered Two separate cuts -One in the middle of the fight and one tardy because of the incorrect accidental hit over the eye. Blood spilled. The fans spilled. Goodman was still hit.
He managed the last rounds like a professional, remaining behind the stab, keeping the discipline and never allowing Vaca to build hope.
Now 20-0, Goodman remains the highest name in the division outside Inoue-i explained that he was not leaving.
After the fight, Goodman stopped his tears, turning to his support group, Crazy groupAnd he thought about what he called the wildest six months of his life. His words were not polished. They didn’t have to be. Emotions spoke enough.
He wants Inoue. And whether it is next or another, Goodman returned to the conversation.
Garside shakes the rust ring in returning to the victory over Bell
In the Gold Medalist coefficient from 2018, gold medalist, Harry Garside, long -expected return to a professional boxing after three years of play. And he didn’t waste time.
Garside won the victory over Charlie Bell before a slowdown crowd Sydney. . The judge’s decision to wave the fight surprised many, and Bell still stood and traded in arrows at the time of arrest. It wasn’t vintage, but it was enough. He showed movement, time and type of experience, which only sharpens under pressure. Bell tried to make him coarse, but Garside kept in control and overwhelmed him.
The finish came tardy. Garside won. And now he returned in a delicate conversation – again a real noise behind him.
IVIC vs. Vousiutu: War in massive weight that stole all this damn night
This was to be buried under the main event. I ended up in the fight, which everyone is talking about.
In the fight for the Australian heavyweight title Stevan Ivic and Toese Vousiutu went to the war for ten plain rounds in one of the most brutal, crowd Siedney, full of crowd, has seen for years.
It was ugly, it was wild, it was chaos.
In round 6 Vousiutu almost finished. His corner gave him an ultimatum: take it or throw a towel. He answered like a madman – and turned the whole fight on his head. He left swaying in round 7 and almost dropped Ivic with a monster’s shot. The place broke out.
Both men traded with haymaking after the round, with massive shots landing tidy. You could hear the Thuds ring. Tim Tziu, who viewed live, called it “a fight forever”. Ben Damon, a man of fun, said it was a “round of the year.”
And they didn’t exaggerate.
Ultimately, IVIC kept his title with a unanimous decision-96-94, 96-93, 96-93. But honestly, nobody lost. Both men took the last bell. The fans were on their feet for a few minutes.
It wasn’t a produced spectacle. It was two tough guys hammering into the basement and trying to tear each other in the fight for the title that turned into a war zone. It was not the best fight of the card – it could be the best fight in Australian boxing throughout the year.

Serhii Bohachuk (25-2, 24 KO) returns this Saturday, May 17, directing the Hollywood Fight Nights Triple-Header at Commerce Casino in Los Angeles. The Ukrainian handle accepts Veteran Mykala Fox 6’4 “(25-4, 5 KO) in the ELIMINATOR Super Knirówka WBC, live stream on UFC Fight Pass (22:00 et / 19:00 PT / 3:00 AM UK).
Also on the card: Feather Wweight Omar Trinidad vs. Alexander Espinosis, and Mizuki Hiruta defends his WBA super flying belt weight against Carla Merino.
From Vegas to knock back to LA
Bohachuk enters this war with Vergil Ortiz Jr. In August last year, where he dropped Ortiz twice, but he was still trimmed with cards. He followed him setting Ishmael Davis in Riyjad and the decisive Brian Mendoza in Vegas. The guy destroyed his names, without orthiz – and still has 24 KO in 25 wins.
Fox? He is high, economical and recently fought for significance in 2022. He has the skills, the history of the origin of Tatusi’s coach and a solemn advantage-but little power. You need more than stab and good intentions when you are in a destructive ball like Bohachuk.
This fight is not happening because Fox is a threat. This is because Bohachuk needs a toasty -up before taking the world championship title.
Is Fox another KO on the book?
Look – Fox is skillful, defensive and awkward. But you can only run as long as a guy like Boachuk passes through you. If Fox can survive and frustrate Ukrainian, okay. But if he becomes greedy, he will look at the ceiling. Bohachuk doesn’t like to box. He likes to kill the rhythm and crush your ribs.
If Bohachuk wins – and let’s be true, he should – probably is the next in the title of the world champion. This concerns the creation of statements. Another knockout, other body and WBC can no longer avoid it.
If Fox annoys the script in some way? Welcome to the boxing Purgatory for Bohachuk.

Shakur Stevenson complained this week that Gervonta Davis was probably fighting with Jake Paul in the exhibition match. Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) says “disrespectful” For sport, if he faces Jake, not with him. He claims that he is “the best warrior in sport” and says that if Davis does not believe it, he must fight him to “prove”.
Stevenson is annoyed that Tank has rejected him many times, perceiving him as a monotonous, desperate warrior, looking for a payment. Tank says Shakur should fight “brother”, Keyshawn Davis. He thinks that Shakur’s brother is an excuse not to fight that he can lose to Keyshawn.
“They should. They still say that they will not fight with their brother.
Shakur SLMS TANK exhibition
“Man, the tank does not respect this sport if he decides to fight me,” said Shakur Stevenson WarriorResponding to news about Gervont Davis, potentially fighting with the exhibition against Jake Paul. “I am the best warrior in this sport. I told him. He called it. If he wants to call Cap and say that I am not who I say that I am, come, prove it.”
Why tank would “prove” if he does not think that Shakur is a “best warrior” in boxing. Stevenson rejected the undefeated talents Ernesto Mercado AND Herrera Core as worthy opponents. He said that he did not want to fight Cuban Jadier Herrera (17-0, 15 Kos): “They are still trying to direct me towards teenage children. I only want large names!” Stevenson then turned and fought with an electrician, Josh PadleyInstead. What does this tell you? He tells me that Stevenson plays him safely, trying to remain unbeaten long enough to get a gigantic payment day against the tank.
Shakur still says that he is “the best warrior in sport”, but he did not fight anyone during his career, who was different than Edwin de los Santos. He ran in front of him for 12 rounds. It was more “disregarding” than a reservoir potentially fighting a harmless exhibition match with Jake.
“I think it’s threatening for him and fight Lamont there,” said Shakur about Tank Davis and Lamont Roach, they agreed to the rematch on August 16. “I think Lamont is a hellish warrior. I see that left. It will be better on his game.”
Payment chase
Many people think that Stevenson is simply trying to break the fight against Tank Davis and is not interested in fighting anyone who avoided losing on this day of payment. That is why Shakur fought part -time boxer hours, Josh Padley and Artem Harutyunyan in the last two fights. He fought Floyd Schofield and Joe Cordina. Both are not close to the peak in lithe.
Many stores inform that Tank Davis-Mont Roach II is set to August 16 in Vegas. The 12-round fight, which will undoubtedly be a salary event at the sight, will go down to the T-Mobile arena. After exceptionally and surprisingly close to the first fight, it ended in a draw in March, many insisted that Underdog Roach deserve to leave the ring with the featherlight title of Davis WBA in his possession. Although the battle was far too close for each decision to be considered a robbery, there were immediately ratings of query about 30 -year -old undefeated Davis after the match.
Admittedly, Davis 30-0-1 is willing to face Roach for the second time without many bureaucratic nonsense. Davis is often accused of not questioning himself in the ring. This accusation is now calling empty, at least in this case. Because Roach gave a featherlight leaf everything that he could do from last winter. “Roach turned out to be able to make Davis energy shots,” I wrote then. “What’s more, he was able to land independently, often at a frequency.” For a man who talked in retirement, Roach found a lot of work on his gloves that night in Vegas.
It will be fascinating to see how the rematch takes place. The source of Davis’s success are the rapid hands of Baltimore natives and explosive power. Roach showed that he has several rapid hands of his last match … And Davis’s power arrows were not a problem. Not this pervs looked perfect. It was a very close fight again. In order for one to be distinguished from the other in the rematch, you will have to introduce corrections.
There is no doubt that this is a great news for Roach, which could easily be pushed to the side after nervously the apple stroller, which was the program of Gervont Davis. Now he not only has the opportunity to prove that the first fight was not a fuchs, but he has a second chance to beat one of the biggest boxing stars. Days Roacha being a unclear younger featherlight letter has long ended.
However, like Roach, Davis also has something to prove. A great performance against Roach in a rematch will allow Davis to repel the fight in March. However, the loss would prove catastrophic. Davis will be a lot of riding on this.
