The ambitions of the world title Goodman are still alive – barely.

The invincible Australian returned to the Hordenstan Pavilion in Sydney on Wednesday evening and won the dominant, but coarse decision over Mexico Cesar Vaca. It was supposed to be pure tuning. Instead, Goodman left the ring covered with blood and sewed again – but with on the board.

The judges won it 100-90, 99-91 and 99-92. No controversy. Only damage.

Goodman was at the top of the Super Bantamweight Division. At the beginning of this year, he was to face Nayy Inoue – a weight class monster – until the nasty training camp did not kill sleep. This fight concerned the restoration of the momentum and regaining his name in the mix.

He did it. But not without drama.

Goodman boxed sharply through the first half, dictating the pace, landing tidy work and never allowing Vaca to reach a foothill. But as the rounds of the fights passed, they became disordered. Goodman suffered Two separate cuts -One in the middle of the fight and one tardy because of the incorrect accidental hit over the eye. Blood spilled. The fans spilled. Goodman was still hit.

He managed the last rounds like a professional, remaining behind the stab, keeping the discipline and never allowing Vaca to build hope.

Now 20-0, Goodman remains the highest name in the division outside Inoue-i explained that he was not leaving.

After the fight, Goodman stopped his tears, turning to his support group, Crazy groupAnd he thought about what he called the wildest six months of his life. His words were not polished. They didn’t have to be. Emotions spoke enough.

He wants Inoue. And whether it is next or another, Goodman returned to the conversation.

Garside shakes the rust ring in returning to the victory over Bell

In the Gold Medalist coefficient from 2018, gold medalist, Harry Garside, long -expected return to a professional boxing after three years of play. And he didn’t waste time.

Garside won the victory over Charlie Bell before a slowdown crowd Sydney. . The judge’s decision to wave the fight surprised many, and Bell still stood and traded in arrows at the time of arrest. It wasn’t vintage, but it was enough. He showed movement, time and type of experience, which only sharpens under pressure. Bell tried to make him coarse, but Garside kept in control and overwhelmed him.

The finish came tardy. Garside won. And now he returned in a delicate conversation – again a real noise behind him.

IVIC vs. Vousiutu: War in massive weight that stole all this damn night

This was to be buried under the main event. I ended up in the fight, which everyone is talking about.

In the fight for the Australian heavyweight title Stevan Ivic and Toese Vousiutu went to the war for ten plain rounds in one of the most brutal, crowd Siedney, full of crowd, has seen for years.

It was ugly, it was wild, it was chaos.

In round 6 Vousiutu almost finished. His corner gave him an ultimatum: take it or throw a towel. He answered like a madman – and turned the whole fight on his head. He left swaying in round 7 and almost dropped Ivic with a monster’s shot. The place broke out.

Both men traded with haymaking after the round, with massive shots landing tidy. You could hear the Thuds ring. Tim Tziu, who viewed live, called it “a fight forever”. Ben Damon, a man of fun, said it was a “round of the year.”

And they didn’t exaggerate.

Ultimately, IVIC kept his title with a unanimous decision-96-94, 96-93, 96-93. But honestly, nobody lost. Both men took the last bell. The fans were on their feet for a few minutes.

It wasn’t a produced spectacle. It was two tough guys hammering into the basement and trying to tear each other in the fight for the title that turned into a war zone. It was not the best fight of the card – it could be the best fight in Australian boxing throughout the year.

The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.

Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.

Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.

“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.

It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.

“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”

Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.

‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.

One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.

“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.

“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”

The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
