It is surprising little noise About the fight against cocoa wood from fans, perhaps because of the disappointing promotion of the event. Compared to other fights, there was not much pressure to try to sell this scrap at the national level.

Weighing the results

Anthony Cacace 129.8 vs. Leigh Wood 129.8

This is the only partial fight on the card that will interest fans from outside Great Britain. Some other weights on the card are as follows:

Liam Davies 125.2 vs. Kurt Walker 125.4
Owen Cooper 145.7 vs. Chris Congo 146.7
Sam noakes 141lbs 7 vs. Patrik Balaz 141

Complex Cacace opportunity

Part of the problem is that the 36-year-old Cacace lost a great opportunity to find out on the world stage when he left his title IBF Super Feather Wweight after grasping him with Joe Cordina in May in May in a nervous technical knockout in Riyadh.

Instead of defending your IBF belt against his mandatory contender Eduardo “Sugar” NúñezCacace left the belt to shine a better paid fight against the faded Josh Warrington. Cacace won, but he looked mediocre.

Even if Cacace lost this fight with Nunez, he would still be wanted for the Lucrative national clashes with Warrington and Leigh Wood. It was a mistake from Cacace because he returned to an undetectable warrior, who he once was before nervous of Cordina.

The way he acted against Warrington is perhaps good that he did not pass the fight against “Sugar” Nunez (27-1, 27 KO), because he would probably pristine his clock through a tough Mexican. Despite this, it looked bad that Cacace gave up IBF instead of defending him against Nunez to face over-the-Hill Warrington.

Title implications

If Cacace wins on Saturday, he should lend a hand him get closer to the title of World Champion in 130, if this is a high goal. However, wood is seen as washed by fans. So Cacace will not get too much from victory over him. If Anthony wants a quick shot from the world, he has to face the pretender Raymond Ford.

If Cacace defeated Ford, he would have a quick chance for another title. Unfortunately, I don’t think he even dared to take this fight. If Cacace does not fight Nunez, he certainly will not want to get tangled with Ford.

Teofimo Lopez has reacted today to a huge response to racist “A group of haters.“Lopez, Master WBO Airy Wytreight, seems to be trying to reject the criticism of fans, playing the victim, instead of apologizing and admitting that it was not a mistake, saying. He does not take responsibility for what he said and does not work, rejecting criticism to stun the situation.

In the past, Lopez gave racist comments and showed reluctance to responsibility for their saying. It is not clear whether he thinks that by giving comments, he can anger Crawford or anyone is sufficient to agree to fight him.

No apology

Teofimo and his dad, Teofimo Sr., expressed frustration this week because of the decision of the Stars of Terenca Crawford, so as not to give them the fight they were chasing. Crawford moves to 168 to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his undisputed September 12 championship. It is not known if Lopez seriously wants to fight Crawford. Some fans believe that they simply apply the name Terence for purposes to get inexpensive publicity.

27 -year -old Lopez goes to a low performance against Arnold Barboz Jr. Last Friday at Times Square, Fresh York. He won the 12-round fight with a unanimous decision, but mostly unnecessarily clowns and showed, not landing too much.

It looked strange. Most of the fighters do it when they dominate, connecting with many arrows, but Teofimo has not landed. It seemed that he was dancing in the ring for 12 rounds. What was really bad was how Lopez withdrew three to five steps each time the lithe Finesse Fighter Barboz Jr. He appeared to get involved.

Stevenson style copy?

This is exactly the same style that Shakur Stevenson uses. Some believe that Teo studied Shakura and used it as a fight plan. Watching was so monotonous. In many respects, Teo performance was the worst of the large three [Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, and Lopez] On the Times Square Friday card.

Chris Eubank Jr. He did not embrace Conor Benn’s hand, despite the pair of British rivals leading the war for twelve infernal rounds.

A man from Brighton, who won the fight with a unanimous decision, still does not have enough respect for Benn to agree.

Eubank and Benn dispersed on April 26 at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London, when he watched 65,000 fans. Chris Eubank Jr. VS Conor Benn Middle Wwweight will always be engraved in the British boxing legend. This is a trouble -free continuation of their father’s notable competition.

Hall of Famers Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr. Crowds in Great Britain in the 1990s were fascinated.

This fall, the rematch is already set up in stone because Eubank (35-3, 25 KO) offers a second loss to Benna (23-1, 14 KO).

Discussing the event with former Dragon Steven Bartlett on the CEO Journal, Eubank Jr. He said that two unsuccessful Benna drug tests from 2022 would not allow him to bring the guard after the consequence.

As a result, the British Boxing Control Council assured Benn could not fight on family soil for two years. “The destroyer” had to compete in Florida and Las Vegas until BBBOFC granted him permission.

Everything was worth it because Eubank could testify.

“I did not expect that he would be able to do what he did when it comes to showing the heart and determination and prefer to win. He never gave up. I didn’t know he had it in himself,” said Eubank Bartlett.

“The fight ended. I did not embrace his hand and I did not congratulate him. I did not talk to him. In my head this kid is still a drug fraud. He still tried to cheat in our first fight.

“He did not pass two drug tests and was never the owner.

“I have to give an example to children who are watching this fight … If you cheat, if you take drugs that escalate performance, you don’t get respect.”

Despite the constant bad feelings regarding why the O2 Arena’s fight had collapsed earlier, Eubank admits that Benn surprised him in the ring.

“It was a fight that I am not going to lie, I did not expect me to be involved,” said the 35-year-old.

“I really thought I was going to enter there, I was going to have a path with this child. You know that I would blow him up in water, you know. I thought I was looking at how I would give up, see how it falls under pressure.

“I thank God that I was wrong, because if it happened, it would not be a fight that will now be remembered forever.”

He came to the conclusion: “To fight for this level of love and respect, both warriors must go through fire. Both warriors must do things that may seem superhuman, and may seem impossible.

“It was we both showed that night, two men ready to die in this ring. That’s what boxing is about. He sees so rarely nowadays.”
