Edgar Berlanga (23-2, 18 KO) began his career from sixteen subsequent knockouts in the first round. Departing from Brooklyn, he lost a wide unanimous decision towards Canelo Alvarez in September 2024, but he won the fight of the title eliminator and the main place on the Ring III card. Berlanga had Queens, Fresh York Crowd behind her, especially when Fat Joe and Remy Mas were live during the Puerto Rican ring.
Unfortunately, Berlanga could not do Rockaway or deviate from Hamzah Sheeraz blows (23-0-1, 18 KO). Sheeraz knocked Berlanga twice at the end of the fourth round, after which she finished seventeen seconds to the fifth round. Berlanga did a good job at the beginning of the first round, but when Sheraz felt Berlanga, he was a class over the native Fresh Yorker.
Hamzah Sheeraz from British and Pakistani origin looked like a future star in sport. Standing at 6 feet, 3 inches towering, with 75-inch range, Sheeraz effectively used his length and skills so that Berlanga would regret all the talks for garbage and a lateral attitude worth $ 100,000, which he initiated with Sheeraz in leading to the fight.
The fight was the first fight of Sheerase in Super Middle Libra, after the disappointing performance vs. WBC Carlos Adames Master, in which many thought Sheeraz was lucky to escape with a draw.
In addition to changing weight classes, Sheeraz changed the trainers to Andy Lee, transferring his training camp from Los Angeles to Dublin, which immediately paid dividends. “Usually, when you go to fresh trainers, some things are forced, some conversations are forced. [Lee is] Very, very, very sure and confident man, because you know what he did, he was there and did it. “
After the victory in the fifth round of Sheeraz Andy Lee said: “I am very proud of him and we only scratched the surface of what he can do.” What can be further for Hamzah Sheeraz is the fight against Canelo Alvarez.

Shakur Stevenson (24-0, 11 KO) vs. William Zepeda (33-1, 27 KO) for the airy WBC title in WBC was the second event on the Ring III card. The fight was a clash of contrasting styles, and the volume of Zepeda was defensive in defense of Stevenson. Some can characterize fights such as a boxer vs. Puncher, while others can apply Bull vs. Matador or, as he recently described Turki Alalshiki, Tom vs. Jerry. This description refers to a classic cartoon, in which volume, cat, constantly chasing Jerry, mice. Alalshiki recently said he wants to see “less fights Tom & Jerry”.
Stevenson was not elated that he was marked as a runner, saying in a fight: “If you call me Jerry, then I shrink the volume is **. That’s why I come here, so Tom and Jerry, Jerry is definitely volume **.”
When on Saturday evening he approached the ring at the Louis Armstrong stadium, confident Stevenson wore the cap of Tom and Jerry from Terenka Crawford at his side, and many men by 50 cents are thrown through the PA system.
From the opening bell by William Zepeda he still appeared and threw blows. But Stevenson was able to avoid or block most of the blows thrown at him before he landed with the right hook or a crunchy combination by the Zepedy guard. Every time Zepeda landed on Stevenson a pure shot, his fans cheered wildly. While Zepeda found a immense shot on the unbalanced Stevenson at the end of the third round, Zepeda fans were less to get excited as the fight was passed. Stevenson became more comfortable, engaging first and walking with the fingers from Zepeda to episodes.
Zepeda, on his merit, still pressed at Stevenson and tried to break through the defensive guard of the skillful Southpaw. But after twelve rounds, Stevenson once again defended his title, winning 118-110 on two results cards and 119-109 from the other.
This performance should silence many critics of the juvenile world champion with three divisions. Stevenson is the latest of the defensive fighters line who win almost every round of all their fights, but receive criticism for not having fun enough. Floyd Mayweather, Terenca Crawford and Andre Ward, Mentor Stevenson, sometimes got stuck in this label. Although his style may not match any boxing fan, the status of Stevenson as an undefeated master and the best boxer in sport becomes indisputable.

In addition to the events of co–Main Subriel Matias (23-2, 22 KO), he defeated Alberto Puello (24-1, 10 KO) by a decision to win the WBC Super Lightweight title. One judge had a fight 114-114, while the other two judges gave Matias an advantage, 115-113. When Matias was announced with a fresh champion, Puerto Rican Contrastrus broke out during joy.
The decision could go both ways, but Matias pressed the action and ordered Puello to fight the rear foot for most of the fight. Matias spent most of the fight while walking Puello when Matias showed pressure and power that brought him knockout during all wins in his career. But as Puello’s fight he was fighting, Matias’ pressure was able to survive and began to land with skillful arrows and frustration Matias. Although Puello won the last two rounds on all three results cards, he could not overcome the work, which Matias did early.
After his victory, Subriel Matias was welcomed in the ring by Dalton Smith (18-0, 13 KO), disclosed as Matias’s first chapter of his newly winning title. This fight will take place in four months on the Ring IV card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Mike Coppinger announced the broadcast that the winner of Matias-Smith would face Puello.
⋯
In the best fight of the night, David Morrell (12-1, 9 KO) won the decade in the decision with the Imam Khataev (10-1, 9 KO) in a airy heavyweight competition. Morrell, fighting for the first time, since losing to David Benavidez, was knocked down in the fifth round, but he composed enough to win the last rounds and win victory.
But it was not a simple victory of Morrell. Khataev, a Russian Olympic medalist in 2020, was hit by the Bronze Olympic medalist 2020, who looked like a better warrior in the first three rounds. In the fourth and fifth round, Morrell began to turn around and seemed to reverse the wave until Khataev knocked Morrell with his right hand at the end of the round.
In the face of the perspective of two subsequent losses, Morrell dug deeply and won the divided decision about Khataev.
⋯
Opening that the best airy perspective of Reito Tsutsumi moved to 2-0 as a professional, beating the filled Michael Ruiz (2-8-1) of the Toms River, Fresh Jersey. Tsutsumi dropped Ruiz three times, getting a stop 28 seconds to the second round and finally hes in Japan Little League Little League Little League Little League with Toms River, Fresh Jersey.
The debut of Pro Tsutsumi was a victory on the Times Square magazine in May. Reito Tsutsumi is the Ring ambassador, which means that he is an ambassador of the Ring magazine. Tsutsumi showed a combination of speed and power that made it easier to understand why the Ring magazine supports it.
⋯
Ring III was a fantastic combat card. The place was impressive because the elevated stands gave everyone the current perfect look at the proceedings. The crowd was in action and was fascinated by great fights. It was all that boxing fans could count on Queens for one day.

Canelo Alvarez will compete on the Las Vegas Card, and David Benavidez will headline Cinco De Mayo weekend

Alvarez, 35, had elbow surgery last year and will miss the weekend in which he has always been the main character. He has wrestled on Cinco de Mayo weekend every year since 2015, except for 2018 and 2020.
Saturday’s event will be hosted by David Benavidez, who will move up to cruiserweight to face unified champion Gilberto Ramirez. Benavidez previously had mandatory super middleweight status during Alvarez’s undisputed title fight.
Alvarez last fought in September during Mexican Independence Weekend, losing a unanimous decision to Terence Crawford. It is expected to return in mid-September on the same holiday weekend.
His presence on Saturday drew attention because the co-main event will be a fight for the WBA 168-pound title. Munguia vs. Winner Resendiz will hold the belt in Alvarez’s division, which will make the outcome crucial to his next opponent’s options. No direct link has been confirmed, but a different name has been added to the current title image as a result.
If Resendiz wins, he becomes a huge high reward and manageable risk target should Saul return home. Resendiz is tough and has that unrelenting “Toro” style, but he’s technically the type of aggressive fighter that Saul has long timed and countered with ease.
The event will be broadcast on Prime Video and DAZN. Former promoter Oscar De La Hoya is also expected to be in attendance to support his fighters, including Ramirez and Oscar Duarte. In recent years, De La Hoya has publicly criticized Alvarez.

A major obstacle has been revealed that could derail plans for a potential fight between David Benavidez and Dmitry Bivol.
After reigning supreme at super middleweight and lightweight heavyweight, reigning WBC 175-pound world champion Benavidez begins his toughest test yet with a monumental 25-pound jump to the cruiserweight division. on Saturday evening, a clash with unified champion Gilberto Ramirez.
However, even if he is successful against Ramirez, the “Mexican Monster” has vowed to return to lightweight heavyweight in pursuit of a chance to claim the undisputed crown against WBA, WBO and IBF titleholder Bivol.
Although there is a lot of interest in this fight, Eddie Hearn said Fighting the noise that Bivol has a “loose obligation” to take part in the trilogy with Artur Beterbiev.
“I think Benavidez-Bivol is a great fight, but we have some loose commitments with the Beterbiev III fight, which if called upon, we have to take.
“But if that’s not the case, Benavidez is absolutely the right fight. I think it’s a great fight, it’s two guys pound for pound.
“I really think Benavidez will beat Ramirez, and if that happens, if Dmitry comes through on May 30, which is what we expect him to do, why not fight Benavidez?”
Bivol will defend two of his three titles against German Michael Eifert next month, while Beterbiev considers his own “fine-tuning” in preparation for a third meeting with his rival.

He crashed Bowe vs Holyfield and everything fell apart

The man known as “Fan Man” became boxing’s strangest punch line – but the ending wasn’t witty at all.
As a teenager, watching what looked like an unidentified flying object hurtling towards the ring, causing instant chaos, was something that had never been seen before. Two feet dangling in the air before he plummeted downwards with what looked like a huge office fan strapped to his back, it was one of those moments that could only happen in a cubicle.
What followed wasn’t confusion – it was panic.
Judy Bowe, six months pregnant and sitting at ringside, heard the overhead lights crackling and thought it was gunshots. Debris fell from above as the scene around her crumbled. She fainted and was taken away in an ambulance, Reverend Jesse Jackson holding her hand while Riddick Bowe stood in the ring, not knowing whether to stay or leave.
For a moment, no one knew whether they were watching a fight or something much worse.
“It was a mess,” Bowe’s manager Rock Newman said later, and it barely scratched him. Fans rose to their feet, security moved in, and a man who had just fallen out of the sky was dragged into the crowd and beaten when his parachute broke free from the overhead lights.
HBO’s Jim Lampley called it a “disruption monster.” He wasn’t exaggerating.
Nobody saw him coming. Some people thought it was part of the show. Actress Demi Moore even leaned in and asked if it was planned. This did not happen.
It seemed like a joke to me at the time. There wasn’t one left.
James Miller circled Caesars Palace for a few minutes before walking straight into the biggest fight of the night. His legs got caught in the ropes, the canopy got tangled in the rigging, and within seconds, the heavyweight title rematch between Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield turned into something no one in boxing had ever seen.
Referee Mills Lane stopped the action at 1:50 of the seventh. What should have been a routine round turned out to be a 21-minute delay as the judges tried to figure out what to do next.
“There is nothing in the regulations about this,” admitted the head of the Nevada state commission, Marc Ratner.
Finally the fighting resumed. Holyfield won by majority vote, avenging his loss and regaining the titles.
But the fight was no longer the whole story.
The man at the center of things walked away with a novel nickname – “Fan Man” – and took his place in boxing folklore. He joked that he was the only one who got knocked out that night. For a while, that was it – a clip, a replay, something weird to laugh about between rounds.
This wasn’t the end.
A few weeks later, Miller flew over an NFL playoff game and then traveled to England, where he broadcast a football game and even landed near Buckingham Palace before being imprisoned and deported. Each feat pushed the envelope a little further without really explaining why.
Things weren’t the same away from the cameras.
Health problems took away the flying that defined him. Coronary heart disease, surgeries and mounting medical bills forced him to close his business. The man who fell out of the sky in a world title fight has been grounded for good.
In September 2002, he drove into the Alaskan desert and disappeared.
A few months later, hunters found his body deep off the trail. He took his own life. He was 38 years venerable.
His girlfriend was pregnant at the time. Their son was born before he was found.
For most, “Fan Man” remains a clip – a strange interlude played between rounds of the heavyweight classic.
The fall wasn’t that story. What happened next was more significant.
