Tim Bradley was impressed by Jermalla Charlo’s performance last Saturday evening against Thomas Lamanna and believes that he can get a great payment against Canelo Alvarez if he can “remain focused.”

What he means is for Charlo (34-0, 23 KO) so that he stays vigorous and does not disappear for two years, as if he did it twice in the last four years. 35-year-old Charlo looked snail-paced and looked like Lamanna (39-6-1, 18 KO).

They both made friends while gathering in battle. This could be the reason why Jermall did not go an early knockout.

Key pretenders to Canelo

Bradley did not suggest any suggestions who Jermall should fight for further sharpening and creating the interest of fans. If he wants to fight Canelo, he will have to overcome this kind of pretenders:

– Edgar Berlanga
– Hamzah Sheeraz
– Christian Milli
– Diego Pacheco
Betemir Melikuziv
– Bruno Surace
– Darius Furyhum

“Jermall came back and looked decent in this fight. I expected that he won this knockout,” said Tim Bradley on his own YouTube Channel about Jermalla Charlo’s performance in his return against Thomas Lamanna on Saturday evening. “He came in form and did work.”

Charlo did the job, but he did not look “decent” in his performance against Lamanna. Jermall looked like a warrior shell, which he was in 2023 against Jose Benavidez Jr., and was not impressive in this fight, released from a 2.5-year release.

Is Canelo Fight realistic?

“Jermall, if you remain focused, still a bit in you.

Jermall cannot be taken seriously as a potential opponent of Canelo Alvarez, unless he defeats one or the two best rivals in 168. It is not enough to defeat Lamanna and Caleb Plant. It won’t work. Plant lost to Armando Resendiz last Saturday evening and will look bad if Charlo fights next to him to utilize as a stepping stone to fight Canelo.

Teofimo Lopez withdraws from Devin Haney Fight: What happened and what next

The world of boxing was preparing for a huge duel between Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney, scheduled for August 16, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to Boxingscene and The Ring Magazine with a 145-pound fight, reportedly agreed by both fighters and the Ring magazine, he promised that there would be a clash of the Titans. However, the fight collapsed, and Lopez withdrew, leaving fans disappointed and Haney. Here are the latest from this developing saga.

Leading

Lopez-Haney’s competition has been weighing for years, and both warriors have been in a slight division before they rise up. On May 2, 2025, in Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater Lopez (22-1, 13 KO) defended his WBO and Ring Magazine Junior titles against Arnold Barboz Jr. Based on a unanimous decision, although some criticized his showboating. Haney (32-0, 1 NC, 15 KO) overtook Jose Ramirez on the same card, establishing a scene for a potential great fight. Saudi boxing Turki’s spell Alalshikh, a key player in the latest noisy fights, pressed on a duel, with contracts reportedly signed for the Pay-Per-View Dazn event.

Fall

The contract broke up when Lopez refused to finalize his commitment. On June 3, 2025, Haney replied to X, stating: “The fight with Teo is not signed! I signed my role and Teo stops … is officially the biggest 🦆👎🏽.” He said Sports Illustrated: “Teo is a duck … he wasted time.” Earlier, Lopez’s Tweets criticizing Alalshikha briefly stopped the conversations, although he apologized on May 31, 2025 and negotiations resumed. Despite this, Lopez finally left.

Possible reasons for Lopez’s fluctuations include financial disputes – Haney reportedly demanded a robust bag, after rejecting the Lopez offer of $ 2.4 million in 2024 – or fears about Haney’s technical efficiency. Lopez’s last performances, although victorious, have been examined and can avoid a challenging stylistic duel.

Reactions and subsequent steps

Haney is now looking for another great fight, and Alalshikh will probably determine the best opponent at 140 or 147 pounds, maybe Jaron Ennis or Ryan Garcia. He emphasized his readiness to face the best, saying: “I can’t wait for working with Riyad on the best possible opponent.” Lopez, hushed about this matter, faces the criticism of Haney’s repealed. His next move – whether it is a safer fight or a bold challenge, such as Ennis – will shape his heritage.

Fans into X are divided, and some call Lopez to avoid Haney and others to Spectoa that he will be a different path. The fall emphasizes the challenges related to the conduct of vast fights in boxing, in which the ego and finances often interfere.

This writer’s opinion about the two biggest heavyweight masters was Joe “Brown Bomber” Louis and Muhammad “The Greens” Ali.

After all, what they contributed to boxing, everyone lost the years of their boxing activity.

Starting from Louis, whose greatest achievement in boxing was the record defense of the titles. His last record was 66-3 with 52 knockouts. Born in Lafayette in Alabama, as Joe Louis Barrow, later he fought with Detroit, Michigan.

Louis had 54-4 as an amateur as a featherlight hefty weight, winning the Champions Tournament in Chicago and national Aau titles.

On July 4, 1934, Louis became a professional, winning his first 24 fights, 20 of which were by knockout. He would then be detained by the NBA world champion Max Schmeling, 48-7-4, from Germany.

On June 22, 1937, at Commiskey Park, Chicago, IL, Louis detained the world champion James “The Cinderella Man” J. Braddock, 50-25-7, had to leave the canvas in the first round to stop the master in 8 rounds. He claimed that he never considers himself a master until he defeated Schmeling.

In the fourth defense of Louis, Schmeling, 52-7-4, at the Yankee, Bronx, and Novel York stadium.

In June 1941, Louis had to come from behind on two cards of results, and even on the other to stop the featherlight heavyweight champion Billy “Pittsburgh Kid”, 58-9-1, in 13 rounds at Polo Grounds in Novel York. He did three defense, bringing a sum to 21 before entering the army.

On January 8, 1942, Louis enlisted to the American army. It would be inactive for almost 3 years. On June 19, 1946, he had a rematch with Conn, shooting a knockout in the 8th round at the Yankee stadium in Novel York.

Louis fought at 96 exhibitions for over two million soldiers and collected $ 100,000 for facilitate. His tax debt was approaching $ 500,000. In 1950, IRS 1950 began to accumulate interest each year.

Louis had to leave the pension to pay off the tax debt. IRS never considered the exhibitions he fought with.

Looking at Muhammad’s punishment, Ali for not entering the American army.

In March 1969, the Novel York boxing committee canceled the Ali’s license in September 1970. This was caused by a conviction for a crime or military crime or because of the refusal to introduce to the American army.

It cost years of inactivity until Oscar Bonaven fought after he received a license through the Novel York Commission in 1970.

Was Ali treated honestly?
