Richardson Hitchins produced the surgical beating of the former united featherlight champion, George Cambosos Jr. With a knockout of the 8th round to maintain the IBF welterweight championship at the Madison Square Garden theater in Novel York.

It was a controversial structure of the fight when Hitchins and Cambosos showed their bad blood during the week of fighting numerous verbal exchanges. But Hitchins (20-0, 8 KO) recently laughed, knocking out Cambosos (22-4, 10 KO) with a shot in the body just a few seconds after screaming to the corner of the opponent to stop the fight.

It was a one -sided Hitchins performance, 27 years vintage, who promised to end the fight at a distance.

“I told the boxing world that I was coming and they should have heard,” said Hitchins. “I’m here now.”

32-year-old Cambosos Jr. He tried to become a champion of two divisions after he was a united champion of lightweight, when he upset Teofimo Lopez in 2021. However, he had 2-3 in the last five struggles with losses for Devin Haney (twice) and Vasiliy Lomachenko before entering the ring with Hitchins. It was a brave performance of Cambosos, but his younger and faster opponent seriously spoken him. According to Compubox, Hitchins landed 205 out of 398 stamps (52%), while Cambosos was able to connect only on 57 out of 384 hit, which is a low 15% clip.

Cambosos remained on the front foot early to get inside, but Hitchins used his six -inch advantage to control the distance, throwing stab and putting his right hand behind.

After two rounds, Cambosos already had injuries from JAB Hitchins with mice under the right eye. But Australian was determined and continued to move forward. Hitchins took advantage of Cambosos’s frustration, choosing his progress with a combination of impact.

In the 5 round, Hitchins wounded Cambosos with a blow and patiently cut his wounded opponent. It is only a matter of time before the opportunity introduced itself again, and Hitchins fully used in round 8.

“I part of the blood in the water,” said Hitchins. “I knew that I had to go to some threatening places to make good shots. I knew I had a good defense and I could do a blow. He didn’t hurt me, so I went to the murder.”

Hitchins opened the eighth round with his left hooks, which found their mark. Hitchins began to talk to the corner of Cambosos, asking them if they wanted to stop the fight before the left in the body, sent the Australian on canvas for good at 2:33.

“I told my father, if you love your son, you would stop the fight,” Hitchins replied when he asked what he said to the corner of Cambosos.

It was the first defense of the Hitchins title after defeating Liam Paro in December, and it was his best performance so far. After winning, Hitchins announced that he would be a free agent and called for the former undisputed featherlight champion Haney. But the WBO Junior D Junior Wadzka, Lopez, entered the ring and called for unification between them.

Hitchins does not lack the option of his next defense of the title, but that night the Brooklynite performance formally announced his arrival as one of the best fighters in the Junior welterweight division.

Olympic gold medalist 2020 Andy Cruz (6-0, 3 KO) was excellent on Saturday evening, crushing Hironori Mishiro (17-2-1, 6 Kos) by a technical knockout in the fifth round in the eliminator of the featherlight IBF title at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Up-to-date York. Cruz used his power stab during the fight to mark Mishiro.

In the third round, Cruz opened his right hands, dropped twice. The second touched took place in the last seconds of the third. If not, he would certainly be finished by Cuban talent.

Cruz took the fourth round, mainly stabbing, moving, and from time to time landing his right hands. On the fifth Andy he followed Mishiro, landing a combination of three strokes that had come to him, forcing the judge to enter and stop the competition. Time was at 1:13 round.

Mishiro tried to adapt and show more aggression in four and five rounds, but it didn’t work. It can be said that his corner received instructions to go to the attack because he was killed by Cruz in the first three rounds. It didn’t work.

Cruza’s performance has so far been the best on today’s card. It was a master class, showing the skills that other warriors on the match card could only dream.

Together with the victory, Cruz is now a mandatory claimant for the featherlight champion IBF Raymond Muratalla. This fight will soon be ordered and it will be engaging to see how Muratalla promoters are trying to delay this fight to the highest extent. They cannot be excited to permission to his warrior Muratalla defend himself against a phenomenon such as Andy Cruz, because he is at a different level in terms of skill.

Muratalla is a great blow, but it is one -dimensional and fights like a robot. What’s more, he fights for one equipment and does not augment the pace of his fights. He could have been filled as Mishiro was tonight.

ENNIS coach Derek “Bozi” says that he is interested in Andy Cruz in the face of Keyshawna Davis and predicts that Andy defeats him. It would be the fifth straight win of Cuban talent over Keyshawn, which makes him perfect 5-0.

God has been training the golden medalist of the Olympic 2020 since he changed the professional in 2023 and knows the skills he has worked with him in two years. Keyshawn has not shown any interest in the fight against Cruz and it is unlikely that the fight will ever happen without Turki Alalshikh, who are not interested in financing. Davis does not want to lose and spoil his “businessman” career path.

Cruz vs. Mishiro tonight

Tonight Cruz (5-0, 2 KO) is fighting in a 12-round delicate eliminator of the IBF title against
Hironori Mishiro (17-1-1, 6 KO) on the Richardson Hitchins vs. card George Cambosos Jr. at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Up-to-date York. The event will be broadcast live in Dazn at 20:00 et/17: 00

“I think it would be a good fight because they fought four times with amateurs. I have nothing bad to say about him when it comes to him and Andy Fighting,” said coach Derek “Cozy” Ennis Warrior When asked about his interest in the fight between Andy Cruz and Keyshawn Davis. “Baging this fight. It is nothing personal.”

Cruz would soon have to move to 140 that such a fight, because Keyshawn would most likely move to 147 almost immediately. It is already huge enough to fight in a welterweight, and that’s where there are fights for him. 140 will be hard to perform Keyshawn, and he will not be able to fight the fight against Teofimo Lopez, because he will not agree to fight him. There is not enough money in this duel.

“Keyshawn has some impact strength, but he is different. He doesn’t fight in the same way he fought with amateurs,” said Bozi. “Andy, do not fight the same either. He is defensively wise and silky. I think it will be a pretty fight, but I think we will win,” he told God about his belief that Cruz will stop Keyshawn.

In the last few fights, Davis has looked more like a puncher than ever, but it is that he overgrown £ 135 to the division. After Keyshawn, he hydrated for his fights with Densys Berinchyk, Gusatov Lemos and Miguel Madueno, he looked like he weighed about 160 years. He was much bigger than these guys.

Now that Keyshawn is growing to 140, its advantage will not be so significant. It will still be there, but not as dramatic as it was. He should fight at the age of 147, but he would have a more hard time because he would have to deal with talented fighters closer to his size. Fighters like Shakhram Giyasov, Eimantas Stanionis and Rolady Romero hit him. He could not avoid them for an indefinite period if he fought for 147 because they are one of the main players.

Cruz vs. forecast Mushiro

“His opponent [Hironori Mishiro] He has a nice stab, and Plus can hit, “Ennis told Cruz’s opponent tonight, Mishiro. “This is the only thing I see. Besides, it will be [Andy] Winning in this fight. It should be a good fight. You can’t tear anything away from it. Everything can happen in boxing. The only thing I can say will see when we go there. “

The only great problem he has today’s fight is that Hironori Mishiro has never fought a world -class opponent before. He is 30 years elderly, an eight -year -old professional, but he has never fought anyone close to being a pretender at the highest level before. IBF has reasons to give Mishiro ranking No. 5 in a delicate ranking, but it does not belong to the fight with the eliminator of the title against talent such as Cruz.

We will see it tonight, when he quickly ran out of the ring in a one -sided fight. Cruz can allow Mishiro to hang up tonight because he is not a great knockout artist, but it will probably be one -sided as long as it will last.
