Avious Griffen Gunning for WBC USA Wytreight Wakowanie
Published
4 months agoon

By: Sean Crose
It has long been seen as one of the real divisions of the glow of boxing – and for a reason. For Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, Marlon Starling and seemingly countless other great ones increased to master the kingdom of semi -terrible. Now 31 -year -old Avious Griffin wants to impress its trail on a welterweight. He will emphasize on February 20 the Sony Hall card in Manhattan, admitting Jose Luis Sanchez to the WBC WBC welterweight title. The battle between Griffin 16-0 and 14-4-1 Sanchez will be scheduled for 10 rounds.
Sanchez will definitely have to cut off his work for him if he wants to win a nervous win to Times Square a little over a week. At the beginning, Griffin will enter the ring with at least a four -inch height advantage. And then there is a matter of an excellent Griffin album. All Griffin’s fights ended at a distance. Sanchez was detained only once, but it seems that he has no own strength. Indeed, only 4 out of 14 wins of Sanchez took place before the last bell began.
There is a reason why Griffin is seen as a potential rising star. Griffin not only has the end power of a fight, but also a colorful, tragic story. He finally spent time for a crime he didn’t commit. He also lost his father who died while his son tried to throw him to the hospital. Although he lost his freedom and inspiration, Griffin decided that he would not be absorbed alive with events beyond his control. Hence the nickname Griffina: “Underdog”. However, if he continued his current career trajectory, he would no longer be seen as weaker.
Taking all this into account, it is more than the likely that from Albuquerque Sanchez does not travel to Up-to-date York in the middle of winter simply just collecting a payment. This is a huge opportunity for a 32 -year -old to reverse your career. Indeed, in his last fight Sanchez lost to Santiago Dominguez in March. The victory over the Red Heated Griffon would raise many eyebrows in the right way for Sanchez. Again, however, covering Griffin will not be an uncomplicated task. Everything that Griffin has to do is Earth and Earth. Not discouraging the challenge if it ever was.

Does Teofimo Lopez exploit Richardson Hitchins for free advertising? Fans doubt his intentions

Teofimo kidnapped the moment of Hitchins
Some fans look at Lopez as Crafty who used the center of attention to Hitchins (20-0, 8 KO) to kidnap its moment by entering the ring for Kambosos knockout and receiving free advertising for yourself.
Richardson desperate is looking for a great fight
27-year-old Hitchins is so desperate in the fight with every significant warrior that he allowed Lopez to get the ring to the ring to take some gloss after winning over the vet, Cambosos Jr. (22-4, 10 Kos) that he used his career.
After the fight, Hitchins called Devin Haney, not Lopez. Teo should not even be allowed on the ring. Again, Richardson is so desperate that the warrior of the name fights that he simply allowed Teofimo to enter the ring from blue without him, let alone before his fight against Cambrbosos, that he wanted to face him.
“The phenomenal performance of Richardson Hitchins. Amazing performance. I think everyone must see this kind of fight with Teofimo. Let’s do it,” said Teofimo Lopez Fight Hub tvexpressing interest in the fight against the Unification Competition against Richardson Hitchins. “I want to do everything and everything. I want to make the boxing great again. Whatever fans want. I’m #1, honey.”
Incredible history of Lopez tanning
Lopez has the history of calling fighters and then does not follow. We saw it with Haney and Subriel Matias. Hitchins should have been ignored and still call Haney. However, for Hitchins it was also a waste of time, because the chances of this fight are slim without Alalshikh Turks, which will come up with money to do it.
The cake, which Haney got for his fight with Jose Ramirez in May, broke him in May. If Turki is not involved, he will not agree to $ 1 to $ 2 million to fight the Hitchins. It would be a dramatic reduction in remuneration from $ 10 million, which he had the fight against Ramirez.
“You can’t do the same with my son. He will come up with you,” said Teofimo Lopez Sr. About Richardson Hitchins after victory over George Cambosos Jr. last Saturday evening. “That’s why he went there, trying to fight Hitchins. You know, calls Devin Haney. So I don’t know. I think he [Richardson] He should take the next fight with my son. “
The movement that Hitchins uses would be a problem for Teofimo, who fights moving. Jamaine Ortiz and Sandor Martin Lopez mentally tied nodes in their fights at the age of 140. Even the movement of George Cambosos gave Teo problems.
Teo Sr. pushes the fight Hitchins
“Calls Devin Haney. I don’t know. If you want to become the king of Modern York, you must fight my son. We have a linear Is Teofimo Lopez Using Richardson Hitchins For Free Publicity? Fans Are Doubting His Intentions. This is the best. He [Hitchins] He should look for the best. Yes, that’s why he said “Modern York wants” and Modern York said, “Yes,” said Lopez Sr. Asked if Teofimo wants Hitchins.
The reason why Hitchins focuses on trying to fight Haney is that he probably considers this competition as such that has a better chance of negotiating. It is also easier for Hitchins. Devin looked like shells in his last fight with Jose Ramirez on May 2, running around the ring all night. Richardson has a better chance to combine this fight and win than it would be if Teofimo fought.
“Let’s see what will happen. This fight is not certain. Let’s find out what will happen until the next week. There are many fights that can be done. We can even go to 154. My son is walking at 154, but we can fight at 147 or 154. He is mighty, maybe a blow, and he is swift and wise. Everyone can get it. Let’s see it. He said Lope. Final message to Hitchins.
Fans believe that Teofimo is unbelievable and will change his mind about the fight against Hitchins if he fights the fight. If Hitchins is stupid enough to agree to fight, he could end up empty -handed when Lopez suddenly withdraws from negotiations, just like Devin Haney.

Why Eddie Hearn is not in a hurry with Shakur Stevenson with Andy Cruz
Published
3 hours agoon
June 15, 2025
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.
(Credit: Geoffrey Knott/Matchroom)
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.

…
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.
