Devin Haney says he was as surprised as everyone else by calling without knocking out in the ninth round of Gervont “Tank” Davis “from Lamont Roach last Saturday evening at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, Novel York.
Haney said that he had never seen such a thing before when WBA Master Lightweight Tank Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO) knee in ninth place. Judge Steve Willis decided not to get him as a knocking out. He even allowed Tank to return to his corner, that his eyes would break away.
Well, knocking down allowed the reservoir to escape with a 12-round draw of the majority. So he stopped the WBA master, and Roach had nothing to show for his performance.
“I always knew that Lamont did not come for his location. I knew Lamont since we were children. So we went through amateurs together, “said Devin Haney Ring magazineThinking about the fight of Gervont Davis vs. Lamont Roach from the last Saturday night.
“I knew Lamont was solemn and he came there to fight, but I thought he did it much better than I thought. I thought he won the fight. Well, knocking down, which was unheard of. This is the first time I saw with my own two eyes, “said Haney about Tank Davis on the ninth knee, and the judge does not call him knocking down.
Many people think that if Lamont Roach sewed his knee and then returned to his corner, the referee would count it as knocking down, and then waved from the fight. It is not a superstar like Tank Davis, so he would not receive special treatment that the stars get.
The judge began to give the tank eight, but then stopped for some reason. It was strange. Roach believes that it should be a knockout, which would win him. Since then, he appealed to the Novel York Sports Committee, hoping that he would change the result to give him victory. It is surprising that they decide a lot of time.
The super medium weight master, Canelo Alvarez and William Scull, will conduct a press conference tomorrow, on March 6 at Radio City Music Hall in Up-to-date York, to start promoting their unquestioned 168-Funtów 3rd Championships on May 3 in Riyadh.
Road to Crawford
SCULL is a target of Canelo to prepare it to fight Terenka Crawford on September 13. Alvarez also needs Sculla to capture the belt to keep the unquestioned championship when he faces Crawford (41-0, 31 KO).
The Thursday press conference will start at 18:00 et. It is not clear how they will sell Canelo-Scull fight with fans in American Scull, he does not speak English and is not well known, and fans who know about him feel that he is a master only by name. He is the owner of the belt and this is its only value.
Based on the ponderous card, Martin Bakole and Efe Ajagba will fight. Depending on who is on the card, this fight can easily steal the program. Canelo must enhance her game after the last two fights with Jaime Munguia and Edgar Barang. In both competitions, Canelo stared after four rounds and took many necessary penalties towards pretenders that David Benavidez or David Morrell would erase.
Retirement trip?
I hate to say it, but literally there is no demand for this fight. Turks Alalshikh should have put Canelo feet and force him to fight someone good whose fans want to see instead of this guy.
Canelo is now so prosperous and his estimated fortune in the amount of $ 250 million that there is no hunger to take risky fights that fans want to see. He is like a damaged battle a soldier who left the front line and does not want a fight. Alvarez shows signs of battle fatigue and basically decides to stay behind, cleaning rifles and cooking. That’s what is fighting.
Some people think that this is only part of the Alvarez pension route to make sure that he is still winning until he disconnects the gloves. Although the Cuban headlamp is undefeated and technically IBF champion, he looked worse than terrible, capturing his title with a poorly 12-round unanimous victory over Vladimir Shishkin on October 19 last year in Stadthalle, Falkensee, Germany.
Many fans, including this writer, believed that Shishkin deserved to win this fight. I saw Shishkin win 10-2. Scull is ponderous, feeble and has a low work rate. What he looked like in this fight, he lost to the last two opponents Canelo, Edgar Berlang and Jaime Munguia.
Having all four lanes on the line will be one of the Canelo-Crawford combat sales points. It allows Crawford to try to become a three -part unquestioned champion. Fans of free boxing do not care if there is one belt or four rates for Canelo-Crawford fight, and Hardcore fans do not consider it significant. It would be better if no lanes were on the Canelo vs. fight line. Crawford. Do this exhibition,
Canelo Alvarez and William Scull will meet tomorrow at a public press conference at 18:00 ET at Radio City Music Hall in Up-to-date York before the fight for the title in the Riyadh season on May 3 in Saudi Arabia.
Rolando “Rolly” Romero does not feel offended that Turki Alalshikh has already planned that Ryan Garcia would face Devin Haney in a rematch in October. Rolly (16-2, 13 KO) says that they can go forward and fight after he defeated “S ***” from Garcia (24-1, 20 KO) on May 2 at Times Square, Novel York.
It would be a terrible way for Ryan to enter the rematch with Haney (31-0, 15 KO). Turki did not say if the rematch could only happen if both warriors win their fights on the Fatal Fury card on May 2. It would look bad if they continued to fight if one or both lost.
Zero concern
Haney and Ryan would not look like they lost if they lose. Maybe Turki doesn’t care what it looks like. He could simply focus on entertainment because of entertainment, just like Terence Crawford, jumping two divisions to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his three or four lanes in the Super Middle Wweight. This is not really a sport. It’s entertainment.
Whatever Turki wants to do with the fight of Garcia-Haneya, he can do it. If he doesn’t care, I don’t think he complains because they receive payment. If Rolly wins, he should at least get some reward for his victory and not be caught on a card against someone.
“I don’t care. They can do it for me. I will get out of Ryan, and they can rematch,” said Rolando Romero Ring magazine About his thoughts about the rematch, which is to happen in October between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney.
“Devin is already ** beating. So Ryan gets his own. I am not interested. I don’t care, “Rolls said, asked if he would like to fight Haney or win before Garcia.
Rolly is dishonest, saying that he will not fight Haney if he both wins and Turki offers Turki a lot of money to fight him. He does not intend to reject this to fight for less with a less popular warrior.
Dana White revealed how she plans to run a up-to-date league of TKO boxing promotion, which Alalshikh started with Turki. White says he will build it from scratch using the UFC model as his success plan.
Dana intends to sign warriors to the league, and they will compete and fail, just as warriors in UFC do. He says they get rid of five different sanctioning bodies and will simply have one for their league. In boxing, it will not be impossible to control the entire sport with the league. It does not work in other companies and will not work in boxing.
Even if Dany receives all the best fighters, if they intend to compete with other great warriors, they will not last long. How can they?
Risk containing a career
Fighters excluded from this boxing league will continue to track four sanctioning bodies, fight with Dazem and will be signed with popular promoters who are now conducting sport. They will not give up the fight just because they were not chosen in the league.
Being in a league in which a handful of high -quality fighters will repeatedly face exhausting fights, will probably shorten their career. Imagine fighters such as David Benavidez and David Morrell, competing four or five times with each other in the boxing league, which follows the UFC model. How about Shakur Stevenson struggling with power, such as Gervonta four or five times. After these fights, there would not be many Shakur.
Their careers can be shortened because of the punishment they endure. Yes, this is entertainment for fans, but there will be hell for fighters who will become repetitive tough fights. Carrying bookies are much more severe than in UFC. If I were a boxer, I would not like to be in the league where I always fought the “best” every time. You can’t do it in boxing without a quick end of your career.
“People want to see great fights. Boxing has become the one in which you must be invincible so that people can care for you. It will all disappear – said Dana White The first shot of ESPNTalking about your up-to-date partnership with Turka Alalshikh in order to create a boxing league.
“There are many guys that we look at, who will be on this leaves that have many Oh. Everyone will fight with each other, and what people want to see are great fights. They want to know who is the best in the world. “
Is this “the best”?
If Dana White and Turki fighters sign this up-to-date boxing league, they will only fight with other guys in this list, as they prove that they are “The best in the world?“This is not the best. All they really do is prove that they are the best in this league with a narrow number of fighters who compete. It seems that what Turks do now works better, choosing great fighters, signing them for brief contracts and creating fascinating fights. You don’t need an isolated league to do such things.
It is like AFL, which ran separately from the NFL in 1960–1970. The only thing when the teams from two leagues played each other were Super Bowl. In the season you do not have teams from AFL teams playing NFL teams until they joined in 1970. Creating a boxing league in which fighters compete only with other warriors in this league. The idea does not work better than the current situation in sport.
“I implement elementary things, the best fight,” said White. “There are many talents that we look at now, which nobody knows about. I would like to build it from scratch, just like us from UFC. When we originally bought UFC, we had twelve contracts. You started to have everyone who matches everyone. When you get to the top five, you can’t deny who the best five guys in the world are, and then everyone is fighting to see who the world champion is. “
How can the first five in a tiny league be called the best in the world when you talk about a narrow pool of fighters? White says he started from 12 and claims that the first five was the best in the world? What is he talking about? They are only the best in this tiny company, but not in the world. Thanks to this boxing league, if they compete only with other warriors in the league, you can’t call them the best.
The way it happened in the current system were fighters from the highest ranking, mechom, golden boy and PBC often focused on establishing fighting with guys in this promotional company. It was like four or five different leagues. This up-to-date league with Dana White and Turki is simply more the same thing we have seen. The only difference is that Turki has more money to lure good fighters. If they intend to only compete with a narrow number of guys in this league, it will not be as engaging as now.
