Last weekend in Boxing was emphasized by three enormous cards – Friday at Modern York Times Square; Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; And Sunday in Las Vegas. There were six fights for the title and two for the undisputed championship. However, not all warriors acted as expected.

Ryan Garcia (24-2-1 NC, 20 KO), fighting for the first time since his year-round suspension for a positive testing for the forbidden substance in April last year, lost his unanimous decision about Rolando “Rolly” Romero in the Friday main event. Garcia landed 66 blows, not connecting in over nine attempts in all 12 rounds. The competition concerned the empty “ordinary” welterweight title.

Earlier that night, Teofimo Lopez (22-1, 13 KO) defended his semi-edited weight WBO with a dominant performance against Arnold Barboz Jr. (32-1, 11 KO). Lopez looked like his aged self in Modern York, and his speed and excellent leg work were too high for Barboza to overcome.

The unquestioned master of lightweight Devin Haney (32-0-1 NC, 15 KO) made a unanimous decision about the former Jose Ramirez welterweight title owner (29-3, 18 KO). Haney landed only 70 blows in 12 rounds, but Ramirez was worse, he landed 40. In six rounds Ramirez only two blows landed.

On Saturday, Canelo Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO) defeated William Scull (23-1, 9 KO) by a unanimous decision to regain the unquestionable championships of super medium weight. Both fighters merged with the landing of 111 stamps (56 for Canelo, 55 for SCULL). Both of them also joined to throw 445 blows, which is the smallest attempt in a 12-round fight since Compubox began to follow the Stat 40 years ago.

Things improved on Sunday. The undisputed junior champion of Nayy Inoue (30-0, 27 KO) and President Ramon Cardenas (26-2, 14 KO) placed one of the best fights of the year. Inoue fell in round 2, but he recovered to stop Cardenas in the eighth round. Inoue landed 176 blows in battle. To compare, Canelo, Garcia and Haney landed 182 stamps together.

In the Co-Main event, Rafael Espinosis (27-0, 23 KO) defended his title Pen-Piór in the seventh round of Edward Vazquez (17-3, 4 Kos). It was another flawless performance of the highest featherweight master in boxing history (6 feet-1).

Andreas Hale looks at the best warriors to compete this weekend and evaluates his performances.

Friday report card

Teofimo Lopez: B

In the first of the triple fights Times Square saw that Lopez was thoroughly deleted previously undeniable Barboza. The “takeover” was better than Barboza in every aspect of the game and was the only warrior in Modern York who understood the allocation of entertainment while working on victory. He did not approach Barbozy, but he tried to make this program as best as possible. When he is chosen, Lopez is easily one of the most complete fighters in the world. Could he bear a better chance of spending barbose featherlight? Radiant. But he did the work against the top of the rival, and the winnings are the most crucial.

Devin Haney: D+

Haney won the fight against Ramirez, but he didn’t do much to erase the memories of fans who remember that he was plundered by Garcia’s left hooks last year. He fought as if he had the persistent effects of Garcia’s beating, the ring was constantly circulating and throwing 229 blows disappointing. Although Haney is talented, it was a performance that he should forget sooner than later. It is physically too good for this. But if he does not believe in himself, his performances will continue to suffer and subject to public control.

Rolando “Rolly” Romero: C

The fight, which seemed that she would not need the involvement of judges, ended in distance. But Romero, who has never been known for his defensive bravery, deserves to be recognized as a completely neutralizing the Garcia’s left hook. He also changed the fight route, putting off Garcia with a double left hook in the second round. It was not an electrifying fight against the imagination, but Rolly caused stern nervousness, disturbed the plans of the Garcii-Haney rematch and put himself a stern fight in the next case.

Ryan Garcia: f

Like Ryan Garcia suffered a defeat at Times Square

Ryan Garcia is easily beaten by Rolando Romero to leave hope for Devin Haney’s rematch in Tatters.

Simply put, Garcia blew it up. With so many questions after his unsuccessful drug test transformed a brilliant decision against Haney into a lack of failure, Garcia had a chance to buy back and prove that Peds did not support him last year. Instead, he was flat and lethargy and allowed Ostrovort to put it on canvas and an advantage. No respect for Romero, but Garcia had a perfect opponent with whom you can provide fireworks. Instead, it stood out when the lights were the brightest. He did nothing to prove that he should face Haney in a rematch. His future as a star is threatened if he does not find a way to reverse her.

Saturday report card

Canelo Alvarez: D.

Canelo did not get f because his opponent was not interested in trying to win. Despite this, throwing fatal 152 blows in a 12-round fight, like Canelo, is unforgivable. He may rightly blame Scull for not involved, but must accept responsibility for very little possibilities – especially when it was clear that SCULL cannot hurt him. We have not seen a Vintage Canelo performance for a long time. I hope that he ends with his September fight against Terenka Crawford.

William Scull: F-

It was a disgusting performance of Scull in his biggest fight in his career. Few knew who they were going in the fight against Canelo, and now everyone will want to forget about his name after the performance in which you do not want to get involved. Between his 12 dance rounds and the occasional complaint that Canelo’s blows were low – although they were clearly above the belt line – Scull made himself a negative description. If we are lucky, we won’t see him again.

Sunday report card

Rafael espinosis: r+

play

Rafael Espinosis dominates Edward Vazquez from TKO to stop the belt

Rafael Espinosis confirms too much to Edward Vazquez because he earns TKO in the seventh round to keep his title WBO Feather Wweight.

Espinosis has done everything in his power to prove that Sunday in Las Vegas will be a different experience than what happened on Friday at Times Square and Saturday in Saudi Arabia. He set a crazy pace with a resistant Vazquez, collecting points, using its significant height and achieving the advantage. In the third round he threw more blows than Canelo, Haney and Garcia joined in their 12-rounds. Espinosis negates his physical advantages by fighting inside, but he is undoubtedly an electrifying warrior to watch.

Naola Inunao: A

Inoue saved boxing from a terribly disappointing weekend, providing an unforgettable fight full of drama and emotions towards Ramon Cardenas. Inoue had sufficient susceptibility to cause tension when he was dropped in the second round, and then raised the pressure to ensure a cruel finish in the eighth round. Inoue is not only one of the best pound fighters in boxing, he is one of the most electrifying.

Ramon Cardenas: B

It is often petty to say that a warrior can win, even when he loses, but that’s exactly what Cardenas did in his electrifying duel with Inoue. Unlike most other pages B this weekend, Cardenas won. Although he would eventually be overwhelmed by Inoue’s power and combination, he became the second warrior who put the Japanese superstar on canvas and for a moment the world asks if he would be able to cause great nervousness. Even when it seemed that it would consist, Cardenas refused to withdraw and came out swinging. Nobody gained more up-to-date boxes in boxing than Cardenas this weekend.
