Main rounds of events – starting times

• 🇺🇸 USA (A) Saturday, May 3 – 23:00

• 🇺🇸 USA (PT): Saturday, May 3 – 20:00

• 🇬🇧 UK (BST): Sunday, May 4 – 4:00

• 🇸🇦 Saudi (KSA): Sunday, May 4 – 6:00

• 🇦🇺 Australia (aest): Sunday, May 4 – 13:00

Correct, 4-F-Ining-AM. What did fans of Great Britain do to deserve it? Every time there is a vast Saudi card, they look like a zombie, while Yanks retreat with beers, and Australians break the meat in a wide daylight.

Undercard?

• Jaime Mungia vs. Bruno Surace
  Munguia does not do chess. He makes bombs. Expect violence.

• Martin Bale vs. Ephrace ajagba
  Two human refrigerators throw bricks. It will be ugly, but you won’t look away.

• Brayan Leon vs. Aaron Rocha Guerrero
  Six fights, six ko – someone is calling.

• Green Marco vs. Michel Galvan Polina
  Verde’s debut. Galvan? The target practice of walking.

• Badou Jack vs. Noel Mikaelian – Jack is still holding. Wash yourself and now more known for publishing an anti -Semitic social media drive than anything he has done in the ring for the last five years. He shouldn’t even be on the card, not to mention the fight for the title.

May 5 in Saudi Arabia

Canelo Alvarez, the largest boxing icon in Mexico, defending his undisputed crown at the Cinco de Mayo weekend … but not in Vegas. Not in Guadalajara. Even in La Nah – this is happening in Riyadh.

The country doesn’t even care. You don’t get Mariachi teams, without tequila, without street parades – just oil money and billboards. It’s like throwing Rave Saint. Paddy in North Korea. It makes zero sense, but here we are.

And although Canelo has the full right to chase great payments, let’s not pretend that it does not seem strange. Cinco de Mayo is to be thunderous, raucous, full of pride and chaos. Instead, we get it in a hyper -mega mega dome surrounded by sand and silence.

What next? July 4 in Iran? Joshua vs. Fury on Christmas Eve in the Tesco parking lot?

Boxing is not global, right. But don’t lie – it’s not Cinco de Mayo. It is on May 3 in Riyadh dressed in red, white and green with a few sombrers thrown on the cameras.

British fans: the most steadfast (and used) base of fans on Earth

Let’s face the truth – boxing fans are British Absolute geeks.
Saudi Card? 4 am. Vegas? 5 am. Tokyo? 7 am. Doesn’t matter. There are – mugs in hand, screaming in Dazna, to stop freezing, pumping fists on the TV in the obscure.

On May 3 they will do it again. Deprived of sleep, buzzing on beer and caffeine, ready to see Canelo’s chest in Pulp.

Here is the exercise:

4 in the morning or not, the British suffer every time. This is what the right fight fans do. Sleep is for random. This is boxing. This is war.

Let’s have it. See you at 4am, you are crazy!

Devin Haney had something to prove. Although he was a former world champion 31-0, Haney was completely thrown a year earlier by Ryan Garcia. Although this fight was considered invalid after Garcia repeatedly tested positively on having a forbidden substance in his system, it was tough not to remember that Haney’s beating on Garcia’s fist of the previous spring. Considering this, Haney’s opponent in the return of the ring on Friday evening at Time Square in Recent York was 29-2 President Jose Ramirez. The fight was scheduled for twelve championship. Haney began to move around the ring in the inactive first round.

Haney remained rather inactive in the second. Ramirez pushed the action again in the third. Although he certainly did not look like a fight, it seemed that Haney was a bit shy. In the fourth pattern of things he fell into the model – Ramirez persecuted and Haney moved. Things remained relatively unjustified in the fifth … and six, Haney may not be impressive, but Ramirez was even less impressive in his inability to catch Haney.

Dominating in seventh place, Haney managed to quit and land a few shots, while Ramirez basically refused to change the strategy. However, at the end of the eighth it seemed that Haney could be more busy. And indeed, Haney was slightly more aggressive in ninth place. However, the fight remained largely fruitless in the tenth. The same can be said about eleventh and twelfth. Haney finished a unanimous win in the decision – but he didn’t look particularly pointed. Despite this, Haney returned from a terrible night a year earlier. Perhaps he just needed shocking with figurative cobwebs.

I hope.

Modern York – when he is focused, few warriors can compete with Teofimo Lopez.

The flash of the world champion in two divisions materialized in the ring against the previously undefeated Arnold Barboz Jr. Lopez, he led the unanimous decision to maintain the WBO Junior championships on Friday in the unique Times Square surroundings.

Lopez (22-1, 13 KO) routinely beats Barboza to hit, easily avoided the opponent’s crime and was too qualified. The judges won the fight 116-112, 116-112 and 118-110 for Lopez.

Lopez, fighting with Las Vegas, won a unanimous decision over Steve Claggett. But Lopez has faced questions about achieving full potential in the last few fights.

He stopped these fears to relax with the dominant performance against a skillful boxer who was undefeated.

Barboza (32-1) entered the fight after the impressive victory of the switchgear over Jacek Cattell in February. After years of willingness to fight Lopez, Barboza finally got this opportunity, but he quickly realized that he was not ready for a challenge against “taking over”.

Lopez’s physical advantages were presented early, because it was elusive, sliding with blows and often landing meters. Barboza worked difficult to pull in inside, but he could not keep up with the extremely talented Lopez.

As long as long -lasting rounds, Lopez found a rhythm, mixing some showboating with his exact accuracy, while Barboza tried to find his trail.

With a thorough stab, powerful right hand counterattack and piercing reflexes, Lopez was too huge for his rival. At the end of the rounds, it was perceptible that Barboza needed a knockout, but the lack of power of a warrior in California made the result very unlikely.

Lopez developed Barboza, landing 127 out of 574 blows. Barboz could not keep up, and only 71 blows landed 426.

Lopez is looking for major obstacles with the victory and was caused by the unbeaten unified champion of welterweight Jaron “Boots” Ennis.

“You know me guys, I’m going after tough challenges,” said Lopez. “I want to see shoes. I’m an explorer and I’m looking for shoes.”
