Carl Frampton believes that Josh Taylor will decide not to fight again after losing to Ekow Essuman in a nervous 12-round unanimous loss on Saturday evening at SEZ Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland. It was the third defeat of Taylor in a row and it was a fight he was supposed to win. The results were 116-112, 116-113 and 115-113.
Essuman (22-1, 8 KO) is far from the elite or even warrior at level A, but it was too well conditioned for the 34-year-old Taylor’s Titedring (19-3, 12 KO). The losing to this level of the warrior was a bitter pill for the former undisputed welterweight champion, Taylor. He looked depressed when the results were announced because he knew what the results meant his career.
Frampton doubts Taylor’s return
“I don’t think so. This guy was the elite of the elite and he was a star. It is obvious that he is not a warrior he once was,” said Carl Frampton Boxing DAZN Asked if Josh Taylor could ever fight again after losing to Ekow Essuman on Saturday evening in Glasgow.
The problem is that Taylor has lost a lot from the game. It is more a coincidence that it is never overrated to start with. If you look at his best winnings, he did not defeat outstanding fighters in 2017–2022. Taylor’s best wins were against these fighters in this five -year period:
– Jack Cattell – King of program – Jose Ramirez – Ivan Baranchik – Viktor Postol – Miguel Vazquez
“It depends on his dreams and ambitions. I think it was a world champion in two importance. But in such a performance I don’t think it is possible.”
The only chance of Taylor that he will become the world champion in two validity is that he will get the title shot against the winner of the clash between the WBC WBC Master Mario Barrios and Manny Pacquiao. This does not seem to happen after Josh’s loss with Essuman. In order for Taylor to win the title, he must come back and defeat someone good.
The Taylor engine works empty
“He had it for the first few rounds and that’s all,” said commentator Ade Oladipo about the fact that Taylor looks good in the first two or three rounds against Ekow, and then quickly disappears. “He looked piercing, he looked really good. The fact that Southpaw left, landed, and then the engine seemed empty very, very quickly,” said Ade about Josh.
In previous fights, Taylor did not show problems with his endurance. However, he was out of the ring for a year from his defeat with Jacek Cattell in May 2024 and he fought only four times since 2021. For a long time, it could be included in Taylor Gassing for a long time. It’s his fault. If Josh remained energetic, fighting three times a year from 2021, he probably wouldn’t have this problem.
“It was like a 2-liter engine against 1.6,” said Darren Barker, talking about Essuman, who has more energy than tired Taylor. “It was an engine that began to disappear. It was a good start to Taylor.”
It is strange that Essuman looked slowly, as if he did not spend any energy with the pace he fought for. However, he simply attacked Taylor, from time to time landing great shots, and it wore him. Taylor did not like to be hit by Essuman hefty shots.
“He was in a good groove, showing a real fire and such a will to win that we are used to Taylor. But as this fight progresses this man [Essuman]I wouldn’t say he was overwhelmed, but he released Taylor. Three or four shots for each of the Taylor – said Barker.
Ekow landed heavier arrows and landed in his body when Taylor fought closely, trying to stay.
The manager Bill Haney reacted to the recent Turk’s policy Alalshikh, consisting in the lack of the desire of runners during his events in the Riyjad season, saying that his son, Devin Haney, will not “run”.
Haney responds to Turki’s policy
Bill claims that Devin has a “magazine” tools to win and never “He fights in the same way.” Fans do not agree. Haney (32-0, 15 KO). They consider him a classic runner, the same style that Turki does not want on his cards. When Devin fought at the age of 135, he was involved more, but his style transformed into Shakur Stevenson 2.0 from height to 140.
It depends on Turk, if he wants to include Haney’s Riyadh seasonal cards because he has high standards regarding the type of high -quality fights he wants. He knows that he cannot restore boxing to the popularity she once had in the era of Muhammad Ali, if he has security fighters who litter their Hit-and-Hit style cards in the 90s.
Camp for Devin Haney
Instead of Bill, he tries to talk to Devin in Turki cards, he must translate him through the shoes camp, in which he is forced to fight laxts for 11 weeks of training. I need an emergency course to change it.
If Tim Bradley’s diagnosis is right PTSDThe mind must get out of it to get him out of it if he wants to be included in the prestigious Turk’s cards. Soon we will see that Riyadh seasonal cards are invited only purely 24k Gold Slusgers. Defensive fighters who are resistant to changes are ignored and resigned.
Devina’s “Running” draws memes
“Have you heard a narrative that Turki doesn’t like to run, which I like everything that Turki doesn’t like, too,” said Bill Haney Fight Hub tvResponding to the recent Turki Directive Alalshikha that he no longer wants to fight “Tom and Jerry” consisting in running on the pages of the Riyadh season.
Bill should worry because Turka’s comments affect Devin because he had the worst performance on the Times Square card in Novel York on May 2. People on X create memes with the Haney race in their fight with Jose Ramirez. Watching was terrible.
“So, if there is no run, there is no run. One thing in Devin Haney is that with Arsenal he has, I used to say that it was a toolbox. Then it became a shed of tools, and then it is a magazine. You never saw how we fight the same way. Not once, not in any way, not,” Bill said.
Eddie Hearn says that he wants Jaron “Boots” Ennis to fight the “guard” in his debut in August 154, and then he fought with this champion younger WBC champion, Vergil Ortiz before the end of the year. Hearn will lead this fight next, but he was told that he would not be ready for this date.
154-Funts of Ennis’s plan
Hearn does not say who Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) will fight next, but it must be someone good enough to prepare him for Vergil. He believes that the shoes will be stronger at the age of 154, because he will not have to put his body through hell to earn weight, as in 147.
“What you saw against Stanionis was an exhausted guy and it was simply terrifying what this guy will do when he is not exhausted. That’s why I think he made the decision and said:” You have to see the best of me “and time,” said Eddie Hearn for this Fight Hub tv On Jaron’s decision “Boots” Ennis “about the transition to 154.
It was strange to see Ennis Boxing Eimantas Stanionis, and not tardy down, as usual with opponents. It was a clear signal that the shoes were not mighty enough to stand and hit Eimantas after what he had gone to earn a scale in 147.
“I don’t think people will shout to fight him [Ennis] In terms of masters, but now he has built this profile. You saw in the Riyadh season that they were over him to fight there, and we want to do it – said Hearn. “We want to work with its Excellency [Turki Alalshikh]. “
Masters aged 154 will not want to fight Ennis, unless the money is huge because they know that they will have little chance of winning. This would require Turk’s involvement in luring belt owners so that they want to defend themselves against shoes. In addition, Ennis may need to go to a compulsory position to force masters to fight him.
The guard first for Ennis
“We also saw what shoes they build for me in the US, you need this world guard, the five best guys, and certainly the 10 best guys to test water at 154, and then I think we should fight Vergil Ortiz,” said Hearn. “It’s a huge fight. We expect a fight in August.”
If Ennis shoes intend to fight the “guard” at 154 to prepare on Vergil JR, he should focus on the fight against Israil Madrimov or Erickson Lubin. These two fighters would give Ennis a good test to prepare it for what Ortiz Jr. intends to bring. Ennis is useless to fight someone in the top 15 because it will not prepare him.
“We actually said in the Riyadh season that we could fight Vergil Ortiz on August 16, but it was not ready or the date did not work. I do not know what it was. I think we will fight in August, and then we are ready for Vergil Ortiz. I think it’s a brilliant fight and I think this is the best fight in the division,” said Hearn.
Ennis vs. Ortiz would potentially be the biggest fight for shoes in the 154 pounds division, but not the most tough. Bakhram Murtazaliev, Sebastian Fund and Israil Madrimov may be more tough to fight for Ennis than Vergil Jr. Style Vergil Jr. They apply Ennis shoes to order, and he returns for exhausting fights with Madrimov and Serhia Bohachuk.
Multi-Division the future of Ennis
“You will see how it dominates in 154, as well as 160 or maybe even 168,” said Hearn about Ennis shoes. “He will be a world champion in three or four resolutions. Wait until you see that Jaron Ennis was fueled and did not have to go through this week of fight. He improved the weight in Stanionis’s fight than in the fight against Chukhadzhian.”
We do not know if the shoes will dominate everyone in the younger medium weight, because he would still have to go through these fighters to do this:
– Bakhram Murtazaliev – Sebastian Fundor – Tim Tsyzyu – Vergil Ortiz Jr. – likes Erickson – Israil Madrimov – Xander Zayas – Serhia Bohachuk – Jorge Garcia Perez – Keith Thurman
“He shrinks and you can’t physically be 100%when you do it in your body. Now it’s time to see the best Jaron Ennis.” We have a great relationship with Golden Boy and Daznne. They love this fight. Let’s see what we can do, “said Hearn.
Ennis has looked exhausted at his weighing for the last two years and should have been raised, not to go through torture in a dead division. When Terenka Crawford moved to 154 in 2024, Boots should follow him. He was the only guy in the division. Errol Spence stopped fighting after losing to Crawford. So it doesn’t make sense that the shoes still run out to make 147 to fight such guys such as Eimantas Stanoonis and Karen Chukhadzhian.
Eddie Hearn says that Andy Cruz will be the world champion “in the next two fights” after he defeats Hironori Mishiro tonight in an eliminator with a airy IBF title, and then the master Raymond Muratalla.
The best rank will not be satisfied with Hearna’s forecast that Cruz will dethrone his warrior Muratalla, because he was recently raised to the full status of the master. They hope that Muratalla will have a long rule as an IBF champion, but they did not realize that the Olympic gold medalist 2020 Cruz will be so speedy.
Eliminator of the Cruza title tonight
Cruz (5-0, 2 KO) fights Mishiro (17-1-1, 6 KO) in the 12-round main support on the Richardson Hitchins vs. George Cambosos Jr. at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Novel York. Today’s event will be broadcast live in Dazn, starting from 19:00 et. Cruz will try to steal the Hitchins program, which is a pure boxer and probably will not step on gas against Cambosos in the main event.
“Andy has the final eliminator this weekend, and then she will be mandatory for Muratalla in the case of a airy IBF title. So Andy will be the world champion in the next two fights,” said Eddie Hearn Fight Hub tv About Andy Cruz. “Maybe he feels very comfortable for a moment at the age of 135.”
“Andy Cruz must just win this fight to get a shot at IBF Lightweight.”
Mishiro did not fight in any significant opposition during his career and will take a massive step in the classroom from the fighters with whom he stands in Japan. IBF gave him a ranking #5, which doesn’t make much sense when he looks at his delicate CV.
Cruz and Hearn hoped to fight Keyshawn Davis for his airy WBO title, but last Friday he left the weight and then he was deprived of his belt. Now he revealed that he would fight at 140.
