Josh Taylor vs. Ekow Essuman and Moses Ituma vs. Mike Balogun weighed today to fight on Saturday, May 24 in Glasgow. They were the undisputed master of lightweight welterweight, Taylor (19-2, 13 KO), seemed positive, hitting the rock to his debut in 147 against Essuman (21-1, 8 KO).
The Saturday event will be shown live in Dazn and staged at SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. The 34 -year -old Taylor appeared today nonchalant, behaving as if his victory against Essuman was already certain.
Weights
Josh Taylor – 146.8 vs. Ekow Essuman – 146.4
Moses Itauma 254 vs. Mike Balogun 241
Taylor’s career on the line
Josh should be stressed because he fights the record, which is probably 0-3 from 2022. It was Taylor’s fall.
I hate to say this, but Taylor’s career is on Saturday against Essuman. He can pretend that this is only another fight for him, but his situation is tragic. The loss of a warrior at the national level of Essuman is the end of the line for a Scottish boy.
Josh probably will not retire, but fans and fighters will look at him as he has it. Losing from Catterall showed that Taylor is no longer world -class. He is a guy who would be food for 147 pounds.
Weight and future fears of Ituma
The ponderous Moses Ituma (11-0, 9 KO) arrived at 254 pounds for 10 pounds with a second-level warrior Mike Balogun (21-1, 16 KO). Ituma 6’2 ″ looked tender by weight and it seemed that she had too much volume for its height. Now he is escaping from it, but he will not do when he starts to participate in his rivals. It will probably be fine against this can of tomato, but if his promoters fit him with Martin Bakole, he will probably be revealed.
Ituma is too hit because it is against the cans he fought with. If he is not confined and does not focus on his defense, he will lose to such as Bakole, Joseph Parker, Agit Kabayel and Richard Torrez Jr.
Is this Josh Taylor 2.0?
“This is Josh Taylor 2.0. So this is his beginning, and Ekow is on the road. I will do it a good job tomorrow,” said Taylor nowadays Weighting For his fight on Saturday against Ekow Essuman in Glasgow, Scotland. “It will be a comprehensive win for me.”
It sounds like Taylor’s wishful thinking, believing that this is a up-to-date beginning for him. If he could reverse his career, he would now and would not lose to Cattell and Teofimo Lopez.
“Josh Taylor had only one fight a year since 2020. This is not enough,” said Dazn commentator Ade Oladipo.
“No, it is not. He does not fight regularly enough, but of course he was not in the greatest form in terms of winnings and losses,” said commentator Carl Frampton. “He lost the last two and then returning to Jacek Cattell [in their first fight in 2022]And everyone thought he lost him too.
“This is necessary to win for Josh. I think he now replies to him that he is not at a distance to be slight -of -the -last.

Promoter Richard Schaefer believes that Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenca Crawford Fight Will “”Break Records “ In Pay-Per-View, Live Gate and the global audience. Sees how he breaks it down 4.6 million PPV Record set by Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao in 2015.
No Canelo-Crawford
Interest in the fight of Canelo-Crawford remains far behind the event of Mayweather-Pacquiao ten years ago. This fight caused great interest in many months before its place. It stops the noise that fans perceive Canelo as washed at the age of 35.
He wounded his popularity, avoiding David Benavidez and choosing less fights with William Scull, Edgar Berlang and Jaime Munguia. The boxing audience did not demand that Alvarez fight these three warriors. They wanted Benavidez, and instead gave them chopped liver quality opponents.
Crawford is lacking in popularity Due to his needy career, with only washed Errol Spence and the 154-Funt champion, Israil Madrymov as his only significant opponents he met for 17 years. Terenca could support escalate the interest of fans in the fight against Canelo, if he showed courage, moved to 168 and faced Benavidez and David Morrell.
Crawford decided to sit down inactive and wait for the day of payment against the Mexican star. He played safely, waiting to fight the money with Alvarez. This will hurt the promotion of the event. Some fans compare Crawford with Sugar Ray Leonard, who never sat and was not waiting for the day of payment. He went down and was busy.
“I think it will be a versatile breakthrough. BoxnationSpeaking of the fight of Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenka Crawford on September 13.
Break all boxing records?
The way Schaefer says, you must wonder if he has some action in Canelo-Crawford. Even when a lot of money has been traveled to marketing the event by Turki Alalshikh, it may not bring much more than 1 million purchases. He is a fan of Crawford, but fans in the USA are more interested in amusing fighters such as Benavidez.
Crawford’s fights are more like chess with his combat style. This is not a style that the US audience likes to watch. Crawford is acquired for fans who like to watch hits specialists. His style is similar to Devin Haney and Shakura Stevenson.
“From the point of view of sponsorship, I think that it will break records in all categories. This is by far the most anticipated fight. The two most critical pound fighters for the pound in the first place.

By: Sean Crose
It makes sense that people feel that the legendary manny Pacquiao will try to cross the bridge too far when he fights with Mario Barrios in July. After all, Pacquiao is 46 years aged. What’s more, the Filipino fight icon has not fought since 2021 … And this fight ended in a decision -making loss with Yordenis Ugas. The most critical thing is that he was great, Pacquiao is no longer a warrior he was once. Pacquiao, however, should not be discouraged because it is preparing to face the world -high average medium barriers. After all, he is not the first warrior who tries to regain the past.
On the other hand, if the best Barrios is, Pacquiao will not be the first former great to make a stunning return. The chances of a successful return may not be great, but they are not insurmountable either. And indeed, it is good to come back Pacquiao, performing road works in Hollywood Hills and engaging in ring work with your aged coach Freddie Roach. It is all quite a blast from the past. The truth is that Pacquiao was one of the most amusing fighters in the industry. It is a possibility that the man will still be stimulating in the ring, which will attract fans to fight Barrio.
However, Barrios probably has more rates here. He is sixteen younger than his legendary opponent. What’s more, it is a defensive world letter, not some of the stand. Pacquiao’s loss not only damaged Barrios’s reputation, but would also dismantle his world welterweight title. Such things can destroy his career, which is why Barrios – undoubtedly – will enter the ring to face Pacquiao, looking at what is absolutely. The question is: will Pacquiao be his best when he responds to the bell to fight Barrios.
