Andy Cruz has a chance to block herself as mandatory for the lithe weight master IBF Raymond Muratalli, if he wins in his title IBF Eliminator against Hironori Mishiro on Saturday, June 14. Cruz (5-0, 2 KO) will face Mishiro (17-1-1, 6 KO) at Madison Square Garden Theater in Recent York. The event will be shown on Dazn.

Cruz: Better than the main event

Andy Cruz vs. Hironori Mishiro is a 12-round main support on the Richardson Hitchins vs. George Cambosos jr. Some fans would arguing that this should be the main event, because Cruz is a much better talent than from outside Crowd Pleaser, Hitchins and Fading Ex-Champion, Cambosos.

Muratalla (23-0, 17 KO) was raised to the full status of the IBF master after retiring Vasily Lomachenko. Now he may have to deal with Andy Cruz as his mandatory opponent if the Cuban star wins on Saturday against Mishiro.

Muratalla will not leave its title IBF, but it may not end well if he faces Cruz. He probably intends to stop the title defense against Cruz as long as possible. IBF Da Muratalli from 9 to 12 months to defend against Andy before they move to undress him.

Salcido: Twin Style Muratalla

In the last fight, Cruza defeated a similar warrior to Muratalla, the great Punkser Omar Salcido, on January 25, approaching throwing a unanimous win in the decision in a scratched 10-Rund. Salcido was a pure copy of Muratalla in terms of power and the style of struggle. He looked helpless against Cruz.

Hearn Quick Trains Andy Cruz

Cruz was avoided from Turning Pro after his Golden Olympic Medal 2020 with Keyshawn Davis. The way Kuban talent Cruz trained Keyshawn in this fight made a person to twist in the ranks of Pro. Cruz wisely signed with the promoter Eddie Hearn, who quickly followed him to get him an eliminator of the IBF title after just five fights. Hearn thinks Cruz is only “Several fights” Away from difficulties with the title of world champion.

It is doubtful why IBF gave Mishiro ranking No. 5 with his organization, because his won were against only smaller opponents. There is no single win in an eight -year CV Mishiro, which was against the highest level fighter. In 2023, Mishiro lost to the warrior min Ho Jung (19-5-2, 5 KO).

The last six opponents of Mishiro

– Hinata Maruta
– Kazuaki Miyamoto
– Shuma command
– Hiromas Urakava
– Yongchao Sheng
– My Ho Jung

It does not look good for Mishiro, who is heading against Cruz on Saturday evening. While Mishiro does not show hidden talent that he was sticking to his whole career, he lost badly.

Turki Alalshikh confirmed today that Dana White will promote September 13 between Canelo Alvarez and Terenka Crawford together with TKO Boxing. Thanks to the range given through UFC, it can bring greater interest in fans, and PPV buys for it Great fight.

Canelo-Crawford PPV price debate

The platform for Canelo-Crawford has not been disclosed, as did the price of PPV. Canelo’s last fights with Edgar Berlang and Jaime Munguia were in the range of 70 USD. Given that Turki calls Canelo vs. Crawford “The biggest fight in boxing”, it is reasonable to assume that the price of PPV may be higher than Alvarez’s last fights, maybe even in the 1990s or $ 100.

It’s too high for this fight, because Crawford is not popular among mainstream fans. What’s more, the fight is perceived more in terms of money for the aging 35-year-old Canelo Alvarez and 40-person Buda Crawford.

Fans do not know how well Crawford will perform to have an idea of ​​whether it is worth taking 90 to 100 USD to buy an event, taking into account that he never fought at the age of 168 or even 160. The only thing that fans can go through is how Crawford fought, debuting in 154 last year. He looked feeble and vintage, endowed with Madrimov by results 115-113 x 3.

I got it for Madrimov 7-5 and I didn’t have a dog in this hunt. Crawford’s arrows were too feeble, and he ate his right hands from Madrimov, as if they were candy. He couldn’t get enough of these shots. Canelo-Crawford should really be an exhibition match, because the fans were cheated when Canelo defended themselves from a warrior from the 154-Funt division, Jermell Charlo in 2023.

Like Crawford, Jermell moved to two divisions, ignoring the ranking system to challenge the global Alvarez titles in 168. Jermell felt the power and ranking around the ring for 12 rounds while the fans got out.

Crawford age and performance problems

They both come out of destitute performances, in which they showed that they are not close to the top of their weight classes. Canelo looked at William Scull, lost to half a dozen of the best rivals. Crawford probably lost his last struggle Israil Madrimov, but received a dubious decision in August last year.

This fight showed that Crawford is too vintage and diminutive to beat the best fighters at the age of 154; That is why he quickly gave up the goal of attempting to break through the killers, such as Bakrham Murtazaliev, Edgar Berlanga and Vergil Ortiz to become unquestioned in the younger medium weight. Giving up this goal showed that Crawford knew that there was no chance to achieve it. He achieved his ceiling and the age takes control.

Ignoring the boxing ranking system

Many fans are alley in paying this kind of money, considering that this competition ignores a typical ranking system and meritocrat associated with a warrior tough to a world title. 37 -year -old Crawford never fought in Super Middle Wweight, he did not take 168, and jumps up two weight classes to get an immediate shot. It’s just a fight for money. Crawford will not win his title, and it is doubtful that he could, if he were forced to carry out a diminutive three -year glove.

At an advanced age of Crawford, chronic inaction and a diminutive frame, it is doubtful to defeat these three candidates to get the title shot against Canelo.

– Armando Resendiz
– Oslyys Iglesias
– Edgar Berlanga

Crawford is like an vintage car with 300,000 miles on the meter meter number of mileage at the moment of your career and can blow the gasket or connecting rod. You can’t love him in this fight because it goes straight to the so -called top. Although I see Canelo as #7 in the Super Middle Wweight division, he is still too large and sturdy for Crawford.

“My brother Dana [White] It will promote this fight. This is the fight of the Riyadh season and we have a contract with TKO to promote it. It will be the biggest fight in boxing, and tomorrow I think I will tell the details, platform and place of this fight, me and Dana, “said Turki Alalshikh X About the fight of Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenca Crawford.

Albright will destroy the heritage of Davis, Hemphill stunns Jeffers and Simpson is experiencing Zucco fear at the weekend of chaos

Ezechiel King: Nahir Albright Def. Kelvin Davis

Certainly the fight, which caused the greatest drama over the weekend, was the hostile Keyshawn Davis, Nahira Albright, returned from almost two years of release to overcome the oldest brother Keyshawn, Kelvin. Kelvin Davis hit Albright, wearing a five -inch advantage, but he rarely used it during the fight. The Albright game plan was clear from the very beginning: JAB His path as Davis and his right hand.

In the second round, it was perfectly managed, initiating the knees of a larger man and dropping him into the following fury, although the judge ruled. The fight became more and more physical than that moment, because Kelvin held and tried to intimidate Albright against the lines when they gathered, although Albright was more successful, finding a place for his shots in the middle. All this served to make Davis’s crime hard, because he was moved to the average of four power, he hits the round.

Davis has become powerful in the last three rounds, landing in seventh place in seventh power, when the pace became crazy, but the damage was caused. Albright Outlande and hurt Davis several times, making the decision of the majority in the territory of the enemy. For Davis it was quite a terrifying result, because all his flaws began to cost him his undefeated album in his hometown. The resulting drama will probably also have consequences for his brothers.

On the other hand, Albright reached a successful return to Pro Ranks, rejecting him an undefeated perspective in the recent weight class and potentially establishes a rematch with the former champion Keyshawn Davis.

Sean Hemphill def. Mark Jeffers

Heading through the pond to Yorkshire, a pretender to the super weight of IBF, Mark Jeffers, lost “O” with American Sean Hemphill, even though he was a substantial favorite -1000. Jeffers pushed the pace early, while Hemphill was pleased that he would sit and collect his arrows. The overturning changed in the fourth round, when Hemphill decided to stand on the ground and a fight with Jeffer.

No warrior had a problem with landing on his man during the whole fight. When he developed, Hemphill began to look like a more complete warrior – he willingly stands and trades or gives earth – and showed better variety in his shots. Although Jeffers could land cleanly, it was often a cost of two or three blows landed for Hemphill. The fight became really exhausting when she wore, both men feel the pace and damage, but again the American simply adapted better.

Mark Jeffers simply turned out to be a little too united in this fight and was summarized by a guy he was about to beat on paper. In my opinion, this is a symptom of turning your tires a little too long, because Jeffers simply did not raise levels, as it probably liked. Meanwhile, for Sean Hemphilla it can be a bit of a breakthrough, because Jeffers is by far the best warrior he beat, and the division remains relatively slim.

Close to Miss: Callum Simpson Def. Ivan Zucco

Stopping in super medium weight and in Yorkshire, the local hero of Callum Simpson received some fear by the invincible Italian boxer Ivan Zucco. Simpson, a much larger and better man, entered the immaculate 1-2 from Southpaw Zucco, just a few seconds into the competition-for the first time he was knocked in his career for the first time.

Simpson tried to prove that it was FUKS, pressing Zucco into a rope many times, as long as the Italian repeated his feat, dropping Simpson after the second time, when a larger man was promoted to him. Simpson did not look particularly damaged after any of them, but both were immaculate.

However, this is where the fun stopped for Zucco, because the man from Yorkshire fought him for the ropes for most of the remaining fight, and Zucco from time to time finds success outside the third round. It is approaching tenth tenth, when Simpson passed Zucco three times before the Italian corner called him resignation.

Simpson managed to stop in front of his hometown; In this fight, however, there were some really disturbing signs, especially for someone who struggles with such as Hamzah Sheeraz. For Ivan Zucco he strongly exceeded his expectations, but I would be shocked if he had ever left the European level, because he was simply too miniature and he lacked power.
