Thanongsak Simsri def. Christian Araneta
The start of the television part of the card from Japan is Thanongsak Simsri, adopting the Philippine pretender Cristian with the arrangement of the free title of IBF Delicate Flyight. Thai Simsri has already made several trips to Japan, making a lot of success on the road, except for a knockout loss with a two -time world champion Masamuchi Yabuki.
For her part, Aranets fought twice in the eliminators of the world title, although he failed in these attempts. Despite the fact that he is smaller of them, Simsri has set his reach from the very beginning, exceeding the arrangement in the early rounds. The Philippine found his moment to take advantage of Simsri’s confidence; However, at the end of the third round, the massive meter left from Arane to sleep Thai.
Araneta ended a mighty mighty, pinning Simsri with ropes and landing a few immaculate blows. Now that Simsri was dropped and both men wore a deep cut, the fight fell into a specific rhythm.
The Aranet was physically overlapped as a larger man, collecting his arrows and landing strongly on Southpaw on Simsri. But for most of the majority of Simsri rounds, a much larger volume landed, limiting the angle on the arrangement and remained outside.
The results cards reflected the competitive nature of the fight, because Simsri simply made a divided decision to become the world champion and achieve the greatest victory in his career. For ARANET it must be a very frustrating result; Now he lost to the best fighters in his CV, and this result could be avoided if he could only find a slightly larger pace.
Reiya ABE def. Yuya eye
Then on the card there was a classic Veterans match versus perspectives for the Japanese featherweight title, seeing that the very experienced Southpaw Reiya Abe equalized with the invincible perspective of Yuya Oko.
Abe showed exceptional leg work from the very beginning, sliding into the nest in Wola, usually avoiding any eye meter. The eye found a few more readings when the fight was worn, sometimes it is time to precipitate the movement of the veteran’s head, but the pressure of the eye was largely discouraged by the skillful movement of Abe and prickly LEM.
His work indicator remained consistent in both movement and combinations. He made every effort to make him in battle, but until the end of ten rounds he was clearly done.
It was a really impressive, veteran Abe performance, which continued the return trail after the brutal knockout to Luis Alberto Lopez in 2024. As for Yuya Oko, it was a great struggle for learning at the beginning of your career. He has improved extremely as the fight and I am sure that it will be better at the Japanese national level.
Sora Tanaka def. Kobata tacky
During the Coan-Maan event, the Japanese Amateur Champion Sora Tanaka continued her campaign in professional ranks against Kobat’s domestic talents. Tanaka is an omnipotence warrior in full violence, marching down the enemy and throwing power shots without concern for defense.
Despite the fact that he is a shorter boxer, Tanaka had a woman on the ropes from the very beginning. Every shot of power that landed shook the cobat to his core, but Kobata had no problem finding a chance to break Tanak’s perspective.
The fight lasted only four rounds, but to be forthright, Kobata was doing well to survive as long as he consumed a crazy amount of damage during the competition. There was almost no uninteresting moment because they both stood in their pockets and replaced Bell with Bell.
When the downtime came, it was a bit disappointing when Kobata remained on his feet and just shook Tanaka, but the fight was a pure action and one of my favorite year. I don’t know how far Tanaka moves in the ranks in his versatile style, but I will be there to see every step.
Brian Norman Jr. def. Jin Sasaki
Finally, in the main event, another Japanese offensive Dynamo in Jin Sasaki challenged the extremely qualified Brian Norman Jr. for his title of welterweight WBO. Norman clearly stated that there was a gap between them almost immediately, abandoning his family hero twice in the first round.
Sasaki hardly refrained and forced Norman, but his characteristic power had a very little impact on the master. Sasaki was still doing very well to force his fight, remaining in Norman’s face, even though he constantly breaks the injuries.
Many would wither, but Sasaki never did it. Norman remained consistently great during the fight, he never became seemingly shocked and jumping on the possibilities of landing every time Sasaki presented them.
Everything crashed for the pretender in the fifth round. When Sasaki withdrew after a stab to the body, Norman landed with a immaculate left hook, throwing the cool Japanese warrior in the immediate cups of the year. It was a definite second defense of his title for the youthful master in Norman.
The scenes were very dead about Sasaki, which had to be stretched. He showed a huge combat spirit, but his corner should probably have had to draw him with the amount of injuries that Norman caused him. Regardless, this fight was an amazing Kapsta on a very comical card in the middle of the week.

Jose Benavidez Sr. publicly invited Artur Beterbiev and his team to enter into negotiations to fight David Benavidez.
The comments came after Beterbiev recently discussed previous talks involving both camps. Benavidez Sr., who is David’s father, trainer and manager, said he is ready for the fight to continue.
“Right now, if Beterbiev is watching, their managers are watching, or whoever is making this decision, I am David’s father, coach, manager. Let’s sit down. Let’s make these fights happen. These are the fights we want to make,” Benavidez Sr. he told Fight Hub TV.
“We never got an offer. Like I’m telling you, we never got an offer. But these are the fights we want. With all due respect, I think Beterbiev is a great fighter, man. He’s a very threatening fighter. He’s one of the best right now. He and Bivol are some of the top fighters, but these are the fighters we want to prove ourselves and want to fight.”
Benavidez Sr. added that organizing the fight shouldn’t be a major problem if both sides are interested.
“Let’s organize this fight. It can be fought in five minutes,” said Jose Senior. “These are the fights we want. We are ready to give the people what they want.”
David Benavidez became a three-division world champion earlier this year when he defeated Zurdo Ramirez in the cruiserweight division. Since then, Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol are often mentioned among the potential opponents of Benavidez’s next fight.
“Let’s go,” Benavidez Sr. said. “We are ready. These are the fights we want.”

Muhammad Ali recognized one boxer as the true greatest boxer of all time: “I still say he was the best”

Many boxing fans consider Muhammad Ali the greatest of all time, but he once revealed his own choice.
Ali’s notable achievements include winning the world heavyweight title three times while talking about the greatest fights in history, including “Rumble In The Jungle” against George Foreman and “Thrilla In Manila” against Joe Frazier.
His final record was 56 wins in 61 fights, also defeating the likes of Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, Earnie Shavers and Ken Norton, and also became a cultural icon outside the ring.
These achievements are why many fans consider Ali to be the greatest of all time, but in a renewed interviewthe heavyweight legend once revealed that he chose Sugar Ray Robinson for the honor.
“This man was attractive. The timing, the speed, the reflexes, the rhythm, his body, everything was attractive.
“I’d say I’m the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the best of all time.”
Robinson reigned as the world welterweight champion for five years, from 1946 to 1951, and went on an incredible 91-fight unbeaten streak.
His record at one stage was 129 wins from 132 fights, 85 of which were knockout victories. After reigning at welterweight, he moved up to middleweight, where he became a five-time world champion in that category.
When he finally hung up his gloves in 1965, he finished his career with a record of 174 wins in 201 fights, and it’s clear why Ali considers him the best.

Tim Bradley explains why Lamont Roach can beat William Zepeda

Bradley says Roach’s experience against pressure players and southpaws will give him an advantage on August 1
Tim Bradley thinks Lamont Roach Jr. he is the player best placed to make William Zepeda lose. In a speech on his YouTube channel, Bradley selected Roach as the winner of the vacant WBC lightweight title on August 1 and cited the fight’s stylistic advantages as a key factor.
“I’m picking Roach to win this fight,” Bradley said on his channel. “I think it’s a perfect match in style. I think Roach fights southpaws better than orthodox fighters.”
Roach comes into the fight coming off a draw with Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz and a contentious draw with Gervonta Davis, as well as two physically demanding fights against high-pressure fighters that Bradley says has prepared him for Zepeda’s relentless approach.
“I think he fought one of the best southpaws in the world in Tank Davis. And he did damn well against him,” Bradley said. “He wasn’t scared by the force of the impact.”
Bradley believes Roach has the tools needed to neutralize Zepeda’s pressure.
“When guys who like to get forward and be aggressive, nine times out of 10 they don’t like being tackled,” Bradley said. “Roach has the ability to do it. He has the knowledge and the IQ to be able to do it. And if he does it, he will win this fight.”
Bradley also cautioned that Roach cannot afford to leave matters in the judges’ hands, arguing that he needs to create more separation than in recent draws with Isaac Cruz and Gervonta Davis.
