What happens when you transform the tennis stadium into Queens in a boxing place to present the best boxing? I decided to find out and check the action on the Ring III card from the Louis Armstrong stadium.

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.

Trainer Robert Garcia Predicts Devin Haney vs. Shakur Stevenson Fight: ‘With a Very Slim Edge’

Regis Prograis predicts Devin Haney vs Shakur Stevenson after facing Haney: “He’s more skilled”

Esteemed coach Robert Garcia provided his expert opinion on a potential clash between Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney, who have verbally agreed to meet at the 144-pound catchweight division.

There are rumors that both American stars will be joining Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, apparently with the intention of clashing under the promotional banner.

While nothing has been confirmed, the pair regularly exchange information on social media, and Haney has verbally agreed to drop 3 pounds below his preferred fighting weight.

“The Dream” won the WBO welterweight title in November, becoming a three-division world champion dethroning and unanimously overtaking Brian Norman Jr.

Earlier this week, however, the WBO confirmed that Haney would be stripped of his belt if he fought Stevenson at the 144-pound catchweight division, as the 27-year-old had been ordered to face mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis.

However, if they do end up facing off at 144 pounds, top trainer Garcia said Fighting Hub TV that he will favor the WBO super-lightweight champion the least.

“Honestly, I think it’s a great fight for both of them. They both fight very astute – they don’t handle each other [many] mistakes.

“The first one to make a mistake, the second one will take advantage of it. It’s a tough fight. With a very miniature difference, I probably think Shakur [would win]. He’s too astute.

“What I like about Haney is that he’s willing to take a risk. He’d be willing to take that risk and I think Shakur benefits from that [of his mistake]”

Stevenson became a four-division world champion when he dethroned Teofimo Lopez in January with a unanimous majority victory in his first appearance at 140 pounds.

That’s why the 28-year-old is reluctant to face Haney at 147 pounds, where his opponent would have a significant size advantage.

Robert Garcia wants another fight for Jesse Rodriguez before his fight with Naoya Inoue

“The ideal idea would be to have another fight,” Garcia said, discussing Rodriguez’s future. “Now he’s felt it for the first time. Plus, Vargas is a little taller, clumsy, and has difficulty with speed. Medina is very sturdy, so it would be a great test.”

Garcia’s comments came after Rodriguez’s bantamweight debut. The veteran trainer explained that his fighter had gained valuable experience against a naturally larger opponent and could benefit from another fight before potentially moving up to the 122-pound weight class.

“Three pounds may not seem like a lot to someone who just runs, but in boxing it makes a substantial difference,” Garcia said. “So for me the perfect idea would be to organize another fight.”

These comments contradict Hearn’s assessment of the situation.

“If we don’t do this soon, we will probably miss the boat,” he added. Hearn said, referring to a possible Rodriguez-Inoue clash.

Inoue, who turned 33 in April, remains one of boxing’s biggest attractions and one of the top fighters in the sport. The Japanese star currently competes at super bantamweight, which is four pounds heavier than his modern home of Rodriguez, who weighs in at 118 pounds.

Rodriguez himself seemed ready for whatever direction his team chose.

“Whatever my team says,” Bam Rodriguez said. “Whatever they throw in front of me, I’ll say yes.”

The fight between Rodriguez and Inoue has long been viewed as one of the most exhilarating future fights in the sport. However, Garcia’s comments suggest that Team Rodriguez may be considering whether an extra season at bantamweight could improve Bam’s chances of fighting the biggest fight of his career
