Left Hook Kryptonite is hit again: defensive defects inoue cast a shadow on the future dominance

Nayya Inoue 30-0, 27 KO) had a more arduous time than expected in defeating Ramon Cardenas (26-2, 14 KO) with a knockout of the eighth round on Sunday evening at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Tonight Inoue needed a crime to save him when Cardenas knocked him down in the second round. This knocking out comes from the left hook. This blow turns out Cryptonite Inoue. He was wounded with the same shot as Luis Nery and Nonito Donaire. Inoue is left for this blow, dropping the guard.

Stunning fear

For the second time in the last four fights “Monster” Inoue was on board after he was nailed by his left hand. Cardenas landed left, which kept Nayy on canvas to count seven. He was lucky that there was no more time for the clock because Cardenas looked like he had finished his work in this round.

It’s good that Inoue later returned to bear Cardenas to get a hasty detention of a judge in the eighth round. However, this fight showed that Nayya lacked a chin to defeat fighters at the elite level if it moves to a featherweight. After today’s fear, I doubt that Inoue would move to the 126 pounds division, because they hit too much in this weight class.

Even if he stays in Super Bantamweight to play safely, he will not be able to continue much longer before he is knocked out by one of the youthful rivals. The fight tonight showed that if Nayya moves to a featherweight, it will not stand out in this division, unless it is adapted even more carefully than his promoters.

Penal weight doubt

Inoue cannot be thrown with the WBO champion 126-LB Rafael Espinosis, and maybe not even WBA Master Nick Ball. They hit too strenuous and would benefit from the tender chin of Nayyi. If Nayya decides to stubbornly planning to 126 to capture more lanes, he must stay away from these sharks:

Nick Ball
Rafael espinosis
Bruce Carrington
Angelo Leo
Otabek Kholmatov
Brandon Figueroa

Tim Bradley says no promoter can match what Zuffa would pay Haney and Shakur

Tim Bradley believes the growing connections between Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson and Zuffa Boxing have less to do with avoiding certain opponents and more to do with the extraordinary financial opportunities currently available in the sport.

Speculation about Haney and Stevenson potentially joining Dana White’s boxing venture has increased in recent weeks, with both fighters having no long-term promotional commitments.


“No one will be able to pay them that amount. It doesn’t matter, wherever else they go, they won’t make that kind of money,” Bradley said on his YouTube channel.

“We remember and we go back to the time when PBC was founded, they were overpaying the players. Eddie Hearn is on DAZN and they started overpaying the players. It’s a period right now for these players, especially at the highest level, if they want to make money on the book, this is the perfect opportunity now.”

“With that in mind, this is why I see Haney and Shakur Stevenson signing on that dotted line,” Bradley said. “How they do it is another matter. How they arrange the contract will be another matter.”

“You only make money like this once in a lifetime. This is a great opportunity for both of these guys because of the type of life-changing money they will receive.”

Stevenson fulfilled his promotional obligations with Matchroom earlier this year after previously leaving Top Rank, leaving the WBC lightweight champion without a formal promoter. Meanwhile, Haney has largely pursued his career alongside his father, Bill Haney, having previously worked with both Matchroom and Top Rank.

Any move involving Haney could still be complicated by his position as the WBO welterweight champion. The sanctioning body recently confirmed that his mandatory against top contender Keyshawn Davis is next, despite discussions about other potential fights.

Roy Jones Jr urges Tyson Fury to avoid two men ahead of Anthony Joshua fight: ‘They could spoil the party’

Roy Jones Jr urges Tyson Fury to avoid two men before Anthony Joshua fight: “They can spoil the party”

As Tyson Fury searches for an August opponent, fan-favorite four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr. advises “The Gypsy King” to stay away from two rumored opponents who he believes “could crash the party” ahead of his highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua.

Although AJ is scheduled to face Kristian Prenga on Saturday, July 25 in preparation for his clash with Fury, the latter is yet to announce who will be in the opposing team’s corner for his next fight.

As a result, many names have been linked to an attempt to thwart Fury’s plans for a “Battle of Britain” between himself and “AJ”; with Nelson Hysa understood as the current “leading option”.

However, both Andy Ruiz Jr and Jarrell Miller were also mentioned for away corners. I’m talking to Betting showroomJones told Fury to avoid both men, believing that any “real challenge” could foil his plans.

“I know what they’re doing and I understand the warm-up fights for both of them. I just hope they’re warm-up fights and not real challenges, because if they’re real challenges, no one will win.”

“It happens every time. Every time they fight a real challenge, before they start fighting each other, someone gets defeated.

“So I hope they take real warm-up fights and not real fights, because if they take two real fights, someone’s going to lose. I hope it’s not Andy Ruiz and I hope it’s not ‘Huge Baby’ Miller for Fury.”

“I think Fury can really beat them both, but Andy Ruiz ruined the party on Joshua’s side one time. Please don’t let him ruin the party again.

“Miller is no bum either. Both Miller and Andy Ruiz can crash a party.”

Fury’s opponent is expected to be confirmed soon, along with his The “run out” is scheduled to take place in August.

Devin Haney must defend against Keyshawn Davis or the title will be vacant

Image: WBO Reaffirms: Devin Haney Must Defend Against Keyshawn Davis Or Vacate Title

Devin Haney may have his sights set on the long-talked-about fight against Shakur Stevenson, but the WBO has made it clear that another opponent is on the agenda.

Haney and Stevenson recently exchanged messages online in which both men appeared ready to face each other at the 144-pound catchweight division. With neither fighter currently scheduled to return, speculation surrounding the matchup quickly escalated.


However, the sanctioning body maintained its position regarding Haney’s responsibilities as WBO welterweight champion.

“Devin must next release himself from his mandatory duties,” the WBO said Ring.

The statement was released after Keyshawn Davis was elevated to No. 1 in the latest WBO welterweight rankings following his decision to begin his full-time campaign at 147 pounds. The Ring reported that Haney’s mandatory title defense is scheduled to take place in August, leaving little room for alternative plans if he intends to retain the belt.

Keyshawn has already hinted that he is done competing in the welterweight division after victories over Jamain Ortiz and Nahir Albright earlier this year. He later reinforced that commitment by turning down the opportunity to fight Lindolfo Delgado for the vacant IBF 140-pound title.

Haney publicly acknowledged Davis as a potential opponent, but also maintained that the highlight would be the fight with Stevenson. Meanwhile, Stevenson insisted that any fight between the pair would have to be at the 144-pound catchweight.

If Haney fights Stevenson next, it appears the WBO is ready to strip him of his welterweight title. If he wants to remain a champion, the organization’s message remains unchanged: Keyshawn Davis comes first.
