Is “Hit and Don’t Get Get” still profitable? Eddie Hearn discusses Turki Alalshikh’s emphasis on more engaging boxing fights
Published

Eddie Hearn answered this week to Turk’s comments Alalshikha about the fact that they no longer want to support fighters who simply run in the ring, without pulling on his seasonal cards in Riyadh.
Hearn partly defended defensive fighters, saying that boxing is “sweet science” “hit-and get hit”. However, Hearn claims that there is a “balance of skills and entertainment,” and the fighters must do it to make them exported.
Hearn on the ban on Turki runners
In the case of Turk’s directive, in order not to include runners in his events, fighters must be ready to risk hitting his cards. Hearn has several runners who are trying to turn into stars, and wants them to be on Turki’s pages. If they cannot meet his requirements, then on them. For those who do not adapt to boxing, they are exhausted.
“You have to do a mixture well. Ultimately, this is a sweet science. Hit and do not go. We understand, but it is also an entertainment business,” said Eddie Hearn Fight Hub tvResponding to Alalshikh’s Turks, saying that he no longer wants to fight the type of “Tom and Jerry” on his Riyadh season cards.
Turki explained very much in his position. He wants to engage fighters. There is no mixture, as Hearn says. He wants fighters who placed it on the line. He tries to save boxing and he can’t do it if his cards have fighters who run away all night.
Hearn has several runners that he must remain steadfast, Shakur Stevenson and Richardson Hitchins; That is why he is cautious about what he says and does not quite agree with Turk’s desire to entertain the fighters. He can’t just lose Hitchins and Shakur, but they don’t meet the requirements to be electrifying for fans.
Defense of “Sweet Science” Hearna
“So people do not want to watch, or a very tiny minority of the audience. And they are very well-educated boxing people. They don’t really want to watch the defensive defensive class of a guy winning every round, and he doesn’t really respect himself, showing aggression, trying to end the fight at any time,” Hearn said.
Fans who like to watch movement and the style of impact, prefer these warriors to mix it more. However, they also appreciate this approach. Unfortunately, there are not enough of them to justify having them on the main cards.
Fans will tolerate runners if they are buried in pre -sight pre -sight, outside the mind, but not on the main cards. When fans buy PPV events, they don’t want to watch the runner. Most fans are not muddy. So, when they pay for a boxing card, they spend money that they could employ for other things, such as needs. Hearn has no contact with this type of person.
“It’s very tough. If you have an smart conversation with a warrior. If they know that they can win every round box, I can’t really go, I really can’t go to the warrior and go:” Look, buddy. I know you are a great boxer and I can win every round, but I really need to change your style, stand and trade, “said Hearn.
As a promoter, Hearna’s task is to tell their warriors that they have to change their style if they are uninteresting because they cannot sell. What’s more, it looks bad when fans boom or sit quietly without reacting to running. We all saw Shakur Stevenson’s fights with electrician Josh Padley and Edwin de los Santos. These are uninteresting fights. Hearn must have an “smart conversation” with his warriors if they are not entertaining.
Turk’s vision: End Runners
“They will look at me as if I was furious. But in reality, if you are not entertaining, you will become tough sales. And if you become tough sales, you can start a shortage of possibilities, especially in vast fights,” said Hearn. “And his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] In a sense, put your flag on the sand there and said: “If you don’t have fun, I don’t want you on my programs.”
Hearn must tell his fighters, Shakur Stevenson and Richardson Hitchins. If they want to be included in the Turki cards, they must mix it. He should not take care of whether they look at him, as if he were crazy when he tells them to stop running, standing in his pocket and fought. If they want to get vast bags that Turks pay, they will listen to Hearn and agree.
Hearn should not feel guilty, telling them what they have to do. If they don’t like it, it’s on them. I don’t see Shakur deciding to change his style to become more aggressive. It can’t and not.
Hearna fighters must adapt
Stevenson knows that he is too feeble and penniless offensive to defeat William Zepeda and almost every good lightweight. There is no other choice but to escape. Shakur also has a gigantic ego and will feel that Turki will still want to employ it, even if he threw Louis Armstrong stadium at Queens next month. If Turki decides to exclude him, Hearn will get stuck with him. Shakur will not be joyful fighting to change Chump on smaller programs.
“But everyone is different. You also reach the stage in your career. Floyd [Mayweather Jr] He was a good example. And probably Canelo is now, where if I can have an effortless night and earn a huge amount of money, it is called Great Business, “said Hearn.
Turki is still ready to pay Canelo for his cards, but if he continues to work as he did against William Scull, there would be no shock if he was excluded because he is no longer entertaining. Canelo’s last three fights were uninteresting because he lacked gas after the first quarter of the battle. He didn’t try to play safely. Fortunately, Mayweather is still not fighting because his fights have become incredibly uninteresting when he reached 30 years. He made a minimum to win and pass at the speed of his hand, movement and careful equipping. Ultimately, Floyd chose Cherry all the time and none of his fights was entertaining.
“This does not mean that if I am called to go to the trenches, I am not prepared to go there. Canelo is a great example,” said Hearn. “If he were called, he would go to the trenches against Crawford, he will do it. But I tell you what. He would rather get without a trace on his face and say:” Thank you very much. “
Canelo is elderly and has shown in the last few fights that he can mix it only for three rounds before fatigue. The point is not that he deliberately plays it safely. There is no fuel tank to be challenging to fight for more than three rounds. He doesn’t try to be uninteresting like Richardson Hitchins, Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson. He can’t fight challenging because of his age and cardio problems.
“And there is nothing bad about it. It’s an smart business, but it’s good that it is a mixture. After all, Floyd, at his own discretion, robbed the bank every time he fought. He entered there and won each round, he was not hit. Thank you very much. Thank you very much that there must be a mixture. I just don’t think Richardson. [Hitchins] He is a uninteresting warrior at all, “said Hearn.
The price of uninteresting boxing
Hearn sailed away from the original point. It’s about Turks Alalshikh, saying that he doesn’t want safety fighters on his Riyada seasonal cards. Fighters who have uninteresting styles, such as Mayweather Jr., have nothing to do with this era. It is a relic from the time before the Internet. Turki pays checks for fighters and wants artists. If this means hearna warriors, Richardson Hitchins and Shakur Stevenson, they are not invited to his events, so it is. Hearn cannot sell these Turk fighters if he doesn’t want uninteresting fighters at his events.
The sale of tickets for the event on July 12 next month is supposedly feeble, and Shakur is a factor. Why should Turks want a warrior known for his uninteresting style to be on his cards if fans think he is uninteresting and can’t sell tickets? This means that Hearn wasted his money by signing Shakur and since signing it has no value. Once he fought for Hearn against Josh Padley, a tiny warrior without power, not a world -class.
“Is he a boxer champion? Of course. Is he a chance and is exchanged a beard in the air? Not really,” said Hearn.
Hitchins is also known for its uninteresting style and has been booed in recent fights. You would not expect Hearn to talk about it because he promotes Hitchins. He does not intend to criticize him, but his performances are often uninteresting. Hearn chose George Cambosos as his opponent, not pretenders who would potentially beat Hitchins or make him look bad, like Subriel Matias.

Richardson Hitchins falls and stops George Cambosos in eight

George Cambosos desperately needed to win on Saturday evening when he fought Richardson Hitchins at the Hulu Novel York theater. There was a lightweight world title Cambosos was now in the role of Challenger. What’s more, the 32 -year -old Australian lost three of the last six fights. And, as if all this was not enough, the defender of Master Hitchins entered the ring both undefeated and about five years younger than the former world list. Hitchins’ loss could make Cambosos in a airy division yesterday – something that the man was undoubtedly aware.
Cambosos pushed the action in the first, although Hitchins put his long, mighty stab to utilize later in the round. Hitchins came to a second, spitting out stabs and power arrows. However, Cambosos maintained pressure. The third was close and high octane romance, although Hitchings could ride it through a cleaner blow. After the fourth, it became clear that Cambosos’s plain attack did not serve him well. If he hired certain angles, Hitchins would not be able to fight as it is today.
Hitchins hurt his man at the end of the sixth. It looked like the end of the line for Cambosos, but the brave Australian hung and fought to the bell ending at the round. Although he did not seem to win the fight, Cambosos deserved to be recognized in seventh place for digging deep and giving every ounce. Unfortunately, for the vintage world titles it did not look like that. Indeed, Cambosos energy levels fell by seventh place. He could still have energy explosions, but battle consumption was shown.
In eighth place it was obvious that Hitchins was not only an aggressor, but he beat Cambosos very much. Brutal law, and then precisely shot with a guide, sent Cambosos to the mat. Cambsos was able to get up, but he looked so bruised and beaten that the judge wisely stopped fighting. If the fight could continue, Cambosos could really hurt.
“If you don’t know,” Richardson said after the fight, “You know now.” Then he said in a rather vulgar way in which he wanted to face Devin Haney (fighters know how to do it). “This is,” said a cheerful, respectful Cambosos. “Cheerful birthday to Richie.”

Hitchins dominates, stops Cambosos to keep the title of IBF

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.

Boxing results: Olympic gold medalist Andy Cruz stops Hironori Mishiro in round 5, progress in a featherlight eliminator

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.
