Promoter Eddie Hearn explained that when asked about the future great fight between Shakur Stevenson and Andym Cruz, he was not interested to do so. He promotes both warriors, but says that the WBC Lightweight Shakur champion (23-0, 11 KO) is a “guy” at the age of 135. Hearn states that “when Andy passes”, he is not sure if Stevenson will still be a “guy”. Comments suggest that Hearn is not interested in connecting them for a long time, if at all.

Saving Shakur on “tank”

Hearn signed Shakura with the intention of matching him to a huge fight with many money from Gervont Davis. Tank loss in Lamont Roach delayed these plans.

Hearn would throw Shakur to Wolves if he matched him to Andy Cruz, because he can do everything he could, but with much better offensive skills. Stevenson is only a defensive warrior. His ratio of a crime to defense is 10-90, which means that he focused only 10% on the offensive to win the fight, and 90% on defense in the form of moving to avoid blows.

“Andy’s plan is to win the title of the world and unify and win every lane in boxing,” said Eddie Hearn from Press conference after the fight When asked about the possibility that Andy Cruz will soon face Shakur Stevenson in a mega-wolf.

Cruz showed that he is the best warrior on a featherlight night, and in his previous fight against Omar Salcido. This is the guy Hearn on which he must focus, instead of banking at Shakur anywhere with his dated approach in the style of the 90s.

Zepeda threatens Shakura’s reign

There is a great chance that Shakur will be dethroned by William Zepeda next month in the fight on July 12 at Queens, Fresh York. Turki Alalshikh has already given his directive no more runners on their riyadh seasonal cards with a comment that they did not want to “fight Tom and Jerry.”

Shakur is the king of this kind of fights and the best runner in a featherlight division. This is not a compliment. If he decides to fight the way Turks wants his fighters in his events, remaining in his pocket, showing his heart, exchanging with Zepeda, he will probably lose.

Therefore, there will be no sense in Cruz Fighting Shakur. It would be yesterday’s news. It would also be the second fight with the two fighting contract Hearna of Shakur. He can simply let him go without trying to sign him again for a novel contract, because what is the sense?

“Runner” unveiled

“Now, There is no doubt, Shakur is a guy aged 135But Andy also wants to be a guy – said Hearn. “When she defeats Muratalla, you have Abdullah Mason in the face of Sam Noakes [for the vacant WBO lightweight title]And you have[mightoma135-lbshakurstevensonsonshakurszukisychtyktywki”[WBC135-LbchampionhakurstevensonsonsonislookingForallthosefights”[mistrzaWBC135-LBShakurStevensonShakurszukawszystkichtychwalk”[WBC135-lbchampionShakurStevensonShakurislookingforallthosefights”

Hearn does not have to be Shakur. He is not a “guy at the age of 135,” not even close. Stevenson is a classic runner from the 90s, a lending style that Mayweather accepted as aging. Andy Cruz is featherlight years before Shakur in terms of talent. There are at least five fighters in 135, which are better than Shakur. He does not know that now, because Stevenson has been carefully adapted to a supple opposition, because he moved to 2023, like Josh Padley and Artem Harutyunyan.

“He wants to know what will happen next, and I think Shakur would like to be able to fight masters at 135 pounds,” said Hearn. “Shakur knows boxing, and he also knows how good Andy Cruz is When does Andy go? Let’s find out. That’s what we want. The best versus the best. “

What does Hearn talk about with this “When Andy goes through”? Cruz is two years older than Shakur at the age of 29 and has better amateur references with the Golden Olympic medal compared to Shakur silver. Cruz’s amateur record is 140-9. Stevenson’s is 140-13. Cruz is now ready to fight the best fighters in featherlight. It does not have to be for almost five to seven years, just like fighters with a tiny amateur career and without Olympic experience. He was ready to fight such as Shakur, since he changed a professional in 2023.

“They are two generational talents. There are two great pounds for pounds,” said Hearn.

“Children were never too good in listening to their elders, but they never imitated them.” -James Baldwin.

Having a father who is a national hero can be challenging. When your father is probably the biggest boxer in the history of Mexico and you enter the family business, the weight of expectations is huge.

June 28 Julio César Chávez Jr. (54-6-1, 34 KO) will take part in social media, who became a boxer Jake Paul (11-1, 7 KO) in Anaheim, California in the latest step of Paul in the competition.

While Chávez Jr. Has recognizing names, this is not a step to the end in the competition that Jake Paul will happen. Paul really stands in the face of the former world champion and “someone who could not knock out”, but from 2015 (or when Jake Paul finished filming the film dance camp), the album Chávez Jr. It’s only 6-5.

In a sense, it is good that Julio César Chávez Jr. He is able to defend boxing honor against Jake Paul, a social media star that infiltrated boxing as effectively as he has social media algorithms. Chávez Jr. He was born in a nation with crazy boxing and began with the legend of this sport. While the career of Chávez Jr. She was disappointing, Chávez Jr. He will become a folk hero in some circles if he manages to definitely defeat Jake Paul.

The boxing audience watched her chávez jr.; He and his brother Omar came to the ring with his father at the end of his career. How did we get to this point from Julio César Chávez Jr.?

…

Julio César Chávez Jr. He was born on February 16, 1986, when his father was the prevailing champion of WBC Super Fly Wweight. Being a teenager is challenging for everyone, and teenage years Chávez Jr. They were no exception. As he says, from the age of twelve, “[My dad] They would take older, larger, stronger children who either spent time on the streets or worked in a supermarket for a salary of USD 3 or 5 and pay $ 20 for fighting me. If they won, he gave them $ 50. Fighting me was the best job in the neighborhood. “In addition to spending time employing juvenile people Mexico, his dad was in a thunderous relationship with actress Salma Hayek, which ultimately divorced his parents.

Official amateur career Cháveza Jr. She was basically gaining money. He had only two amateur fights, both shown on Mexican television, against Jorge Paez Jr., another Mexican son of the world champion. Chávez Jr. He had his first professional fight in September 2003.

In 2004, his first full year as a professional, he fought eleven times. Chávez sr. He held twelve fights in the first two full years as a professional, 1981 and 1982. Just over twenty-five months before the professional career of Chávez Jr., “Son of the Legend” fought once every thirty-two days, gathering a 23-0 record with 18 calls.

The one -tone coach Freddie Roach characterized the early style of Chávez Jr. In this way: “He tried to be like his dad. He was a bit awkward with it. He is not like a natural athlete, like his dad, and when you taught him, he had to learn it slowly. He had to do it.”

…

In November 2009, after the victory over Troy Rowland, Chávez Jr. He was suspended for the exploit of a forbidden diuretic to aid in gaining weight, and the win was overturned and ruled by the lack. This was not the last problem that Chávez Jr. He had with the abuse of the substance, another way he followed in the footsteps of his father.

As part of the victory in February 2012 over Marco Antonio Rubio, Chávez Jr. He was arrested in Los Angeles on charges of driving on alcohol.

Despite the confusion in the Chávez Jr. He did not suffer his first defeat by September 2012 against the average weight of Sergio Martinez. The fight was unforgettable, and Martinez dominated in the first eleven rounds, as long as Chávez Jr. He shook Martinez incredibly, shooting knocking down and a defeat of his jaw almost breaking out.

This was reminded when Julio César Chávez remembered Meldrick Taylor with two seconds in the fight with the title of welterweight in 1990 in which he outclassed. Chávez Jr. He could not imitate his father and graduate from an incredible return. Fighting Chávez Jr. She was with Sergio Martinez the last time he fought for the world championship. After the fight with Martinez Chávez Jr. He was fined and suspended after positive marijuana testing.

…

After returning from the suspension of Chávez Jr. He moved to a super medium weight for his fight with Brian Vera from September 2013. He weighed at 172 pounds, much above 168 pounds. That night he defeated Very on points and again in March 2014 in the rematch.

At this point, Chávez Jr. He took a break from boxing and returned thirteen months later against Andrzej Fonfarom in a slight ponderous weight. Chávez Jr. He was dominated by Fonfar and suffered a second loss in his career. The fight ended when Chávez Jr. He did not leave his corner after the ninth round.

Determined to return to the win column, Chávez Jr. He fought again a few months later against Marcos Reyes. Chávez Jr. He won, but not earlier, when the fight had to be changed to a 170-pound weight until the middle of the previous night, because Chávez Jr. He could not bring a contractual weight 168 pounds.

…

Next was the highest profile and the best -paid career struggle by Julio Césara Chávez Jr. The fight was right at the Cinco de Mayo weekend in 2016, when he fought with Canelo Alvarez. The Cinco de Mayo weekend usually contains a fight with the best Mexican boxer. When Canelo Alvarez and Julio César Chávez Jr. They agreed to face, it seemed that it was an intriguing duel. Two great names with a household appeal and contrasting styles stood in a fight in the fight against the Mexican showroom. On the night of the fight, this did not happen. Chávez Jr. There was a pathetic performance against Canelo, landing only 71 out of 302 blows he threw, and losing each round on all three cards of results. Pay-per-view generated almost 1.2 million purchases.

Chávez Jr. He did not return to the ring for the next twenty -seven months. When he did this, Chávez Jr. He quickly performed Evert Bravo (26-14-1), winning in just ninety-eight seconds. In an inexplicable way, during his next fight Chávez Jr. He was adapted to the uneven and talented Daniel Jacobs.

In December 2019, Daniel Jacobs supported Chávez Jr., who gave up on a stool after the fifth round. The crowd in Phoenix in Arizona was not cheerful with Chavez Jr. And he showed him a falling garbage and beer on the ring in a disordered, embarrassing scene.

Even worse for Chávez Jr., he was suspended after the losses after he refused to conduct a drug test before the fight. It was the last fight, which Chávez Jr. He was against the highest level against the boxer.

…

Over the past four years, Chávez Jr. He initiated only three times, and two of these duels are against the careers of mixed-war artists. In the match with his only common opponent with Jake Paul, Chávez Jr. He lost his decision with Anderson Silva in 2021. Chávez Jr. He returned to the column of winning later the same year against the Peruvian David Zegarra. While the clock is primarily a boxer, he is currently in the eleventh of a lost series.

In January 2024, Chávez Jr. He entered the residential treatment program after he was arrested in Los Angeles at an angle of three crimes with weapons. According to the police, he unlawfully had two AR ghost rifles.

In his last fight Chávez Jr. He defeated Uriah Hall in July last year. Chávez Jr. He weighed 197.75 pounds before the fight, the heaviest in his career. After winning the hall, the crowd booed Chávez Jr. when he called Jake Paul.

…

Julio César Chávez Jr. He was born in a challenging position. Brother Julio, Omar, also followed his father’s footsteps and became a professional boxer. Omar did not achieve ups or downs that his brother has in his career. Omar boxing career was noteworthy for three separate pensions and gambling addiction.

In July 2015, Chávez Jr. He wrote an article for The Player Tribune, which is fascinating to read almost ten years later. Partly reads:

I would not be a boxer that I am without my father today … but imagine for a moment that he is not my father. It is still a legend in sport and one of the greatest in history, but we do not share the same name. Would you still compare me to him? Would you put my album and my achievements next to him and say that I did not achieve benefits? If he is not my father, is it an candid comparison?

…

So like Julio César Chávez sr. Sees his son dealing with Jake Paul? Last month, the elder Chávez said: “I haven’t seen [Chávez Jr.] Train at this level for many years. If he keeps it until the fight, there is no way Jake Paul defeats my son. “

Name it with Wishcasting, illusion or whatever you want, but Julio César Chávez Jr. He tried not to disappoint his father for better or worse.

George Cambosos Jr. He published a mysterious message about X, indicating retirement after his defeat TKO in the 8th round against the IBF Richardson Hitchins welterweight master last Saturday evening at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Modern York.

Cambosos Jr. Retirement tips

The formulation of the “emperor” Cambosos (22-4, 10 KO) used in his emotional post on X sounded like a farewell, saying: “I always believed in myself” and “thanks to all boxing fans for all love and support.”

If this is the end of Cambosos, He retires as a wealthy millionaire And he practices his victory over Teofimo Lopez years ago. This is the only noteworthy win in the 12-year career “Emperor” Cambosos.

Cambosos would not be pointless to continue his career, because he would not receive more shots from global or lucrative payments against significant fighters, such as Teofimo and Devin Haney. He obtained a lot of course from his victory over Lopez, passing this victory in nice pensions of the nests of millions.

Why Cambosos should now retire

32-year-old Cambosos looked closer to 40 last night, I’m not even trying to fight Medium-looking hitchins (20-0, 8 KO). He soaked the beating until he was detained by Bodyshot of Brooklyn in Modern York Richardson in the eighth round. Cambosos calls himself a warrior, but he didn’t fight like one.

In the best victory of George over Teofimo Lopez in 2021 he constantly attacked. He did not do it against Hitchins again, deciding to stay outside and eat stabs for eight rounds.

If the lithe of the striking artist of the defensive Hitchins from the first round was shining, he would have a better chance. He would probably lose his power and size compared to its lack of power and size compared to Gigantic hitching of welterweight. His chances would be much better than the silent way he fought. Cambosos was chewed outside against what some fans called a rash.

Hitchins chooses uncomplicated fights

It was a disappointment from Hitchins that he chose Cambosos to defend his title IBF 140-LB, taking into account that Australians probably lost four out of the last five fights. Hitchins choosing Cambosos as an opponent over his contender IBF No. 1, Subriel MatiasHe showed what he meant. He doesn’t try to fight well. It’s about money for Richardson.

It is demanding not to see Richardson Hitchins as false. If he were real, he would fight with killers such as Matias, Gary Antuanne Russell, Ernesto Mercado and Keyshawn Davis. After the fight last night, the only names of Hitchins are Teofimo and Devin Haney. This suggests that he is just behind the money, wanting to get it before being revealed. The above warriors, Russell, Mercado, Matias and Keyshawn, would probably beat Hitchins.

This is a hard game, but one game that I have always loved no matter what. I look at myself in the mirror and I know that I always believed in myself, I gained absolutely the best and always chased the size. A huge trophy cabinet, hellish CV, so much love and support with …
