We saw the same Lopez game when Keyshawn Davis went crazy over the box of bananas and watermelons sent to his hotel room before the last fight with the lithe champion WBO Denys Berinchyk in February last year. Keyshawn initially blamed Berinchyk and his team, perceiving him as a racist movement.

Teofimo reacted to Keyshawna’s confusion, publishing a video that Banana and Chichot eaten. Fans perceived this as making fun of Davis, indicating that he secretly sent a box to him.

Taylor vs. Essuman Fight

Tartan Tornado Taylor wants to show fans that he is not washed at the age of 34. His purpose of moving to a welterweight is to become a world champion with two divisions and involvement in immense fights in the division.

Along with the advanced age of Taylor, there is no other way but start to immediately take the most hazardous rivals and often fight if he is to shoot the title of the world. He cannot afford to stick to his schedule once a year, and he will get elderly if he continues to fight a welterweight, such as Essuman.

For Essuman, 36 years elderly, this is a great opportunity to put in a welterweight landscape to commit a great fight before the end of his career. This can open the door to fight other pretenders if he manages to defeat Taylor. Ekow will not get the title shot with the victory over Taylin, but he could fight pretenders such as Karen Chukhadzhian or Lewis Crocker.

Taylor’s path forward

“It’s a hazardous fight. Ekow is not the most hazardous guy in the world, but he can fight, and he is really functional, challenging and stubborn,” said commentator Carl Frampton Boxing DAZNTalking about what Josh Taylor has tonight with Ekow Essuman.

“For the first time, dipping your fingers at the foot in welterweight, you could probably apologize to Josh to get an easier fight.”

Canelo Alvarez confirmed that his fight against Terenka Crawford will be in Las Vegas on September 13. He says that they are still “working” at the fight at the Allegiant stadium.

Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO) states that Las Vegas is an ideal place for his clash with Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) because it is perfect for the Mexican Independence Day. It was said that southern California or Texas are two other options for issuing the Canelo-Crawford fight, but it looks like this is happening.

The 40-Iiss Crawford will basically boost from a welterweight, three divisions to challenge Canelo, 35-year-old for his unquestioned medium championship. One of the marketing points to fight is that it allows Crawford to become three unquestioned champion.

It is doubtful that anyone cares about it except for Stat Fans who focus on the discs. Ordinary fans just want to see a good fight between high quality, eminent warriors. It would lend a hand if Crawford came to 168 and took David Benavidez to get the fight with Canelo instead of giving him on the silver plate of Turki Alalshikhh.

Stadium allegiant: Place update

“We are still working on it, but we will make sure that everything is the best,” said Canelo Alvarez to media Asked if the Allegian stadium in Las Vegas is still being considered for his fight against Terenka Crawford on September 13.

Canelo vs. staging Crawford makes sense for Las Vegas because it uses a fans base of the Mexican star from California, Nevada and Texas. Organizing a fight at the Allegiant stadium would be perfect to have a enormous crowd to accommodate fans who are intriguing this fight at the level of fresh products.

“It’s a fight that people should enjoy in Las Vegas.” Asked where the fight would be staged, Canelo said: “Vegas. Yes, of course. In Vegas there is no better weekend than the Mexican Independence Day.”

The fight in Riyadh will hurt interest because of time and can be challenging for Canelo aging. In his last fight he looked infernal, trying to defeat William Scull on May 3 in Saudi Arabia. 35 -year -old Alvarez looked at any age, and then a bit. I don’t know if we can blame him with needy Canelo results, fighting in another time zone in Riyadh, because it looked more like he showed signs of being over the hill.

If you take the 27-year-old version of Canelo, which for the first time fought Gennadiy Golovkin in 2017 against SCULL in May last year, would probably destroy the Cuban. Unfortunately, for Alvarez he is not fighting so much and he was lucky that Scull did not show much aggression because he would probably lose.

Canelo explains the form of riyadh

“It was of course a fresh experience. Everything was completely different for me, fighting in the morning than at night. It is challenging. Your body feels rejected. You feel confused, but it is part of this experience,” said Canelo, explaining why he did not play well, fighting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, against William Scull at another time in North America.

Pay attention to excuses from Canelo? He doesn’t want to admit that he is getting vintage and he can’t even deal with shy, defective warriors like Scull. Let’s explain this: Canelo did not fight Scull because of the time zone. He had problems because he is no longer a spring chicken-it’s the same for 38-year-old Crawford. Both are relics from the past era

In his last fight with Israil, Madrimov looked fatysmal, he looked on August 3, and then seemed mentally unaware, saying that he was “Beating him throughout the fight.” Crawford even rejected the power of “Little GGG” Madrimov, saying to the media that “nothing I have never seen before.”

It was challenging to see how Crawford seriously bruised from his face and more marked than any fight on his 17-wave card. He looked as if the trailer had driven him, and yet he disregarded Madrimov’s power after the fight. However, Turki Alalshikh still wanted to apply Crawford to fight Canelo, not adolescent talents such as David Benavidez. I would never give Crawford another thought after Madrimov’s fight if it were me.

“I am glad that I have achieved one of my dreams to fight outside the USA or Mexico. Very good. I am really content working with him,” said Canelo about my thoughts about working with Turka Alalshikh.

I can imagine Canelo’s happiness works with Turki. It is said to get $ 150 million In the case of a fantasy level circus with Crawford. I would also be content, fighting with a 40-pins in welterweight instead of making money on the cake fighting David Benavidez.
