Bruce Carrington says he is ready to fight the WBO featherweight master Rafael espinosis Next. “Shu Shu” Carrington (16-0, 9 Kos) believes that Espinosis came to fight Mateus Heita on Saturday evening to draw attention and “size” to the fight. He is ready to face him.
Bruce looked scared by the whole fight with Heita. He was persecuted and seriously hit all night by a powerful Namibian warrior. It was surprising how stronger heita was than him.
Entering the fight, Carrington had a reputation of high power, but Heita had a great advantage in this area. This is one of the reasons why Carrington escaped from him all night. He felt uncomfortable, hitting him.
Carrington won the momentary WBC title, defeating Heita (14-1, 9 Kos) by a 12-round unanimous decision of the results 119-109, 119-109 and 120-108 at Madison Square Garden Theater in Recent York.
Strategic appearance of espinosis
“He came to my fight. I feel that you do not come just to watch. You come there. Yes,” said Bruce Carrington to the Ring magazine canalTalking about Master WBO Piór, Rafael Espinosis, which appears during the fight with Mateus Heita on Saturday evening in Madison Square Garden Theater.
The highest rank had to invite Espinosis to fight because he would not come alone if he did not ask him. Is it possible that Rafael wants the highest ranking as a spare plan in the event that Carrington could not get a title against Master WBC Feather Wweight Stephen Fulton?
They also promote espinosis, and he has greater potential to become a star than Carrington. He is a better warrior, with greater power and talent. The best rank can make espinosis for a larger name if they fed Carrington. This is an smart move, because it does not seem that Carrington has the power needed to capture the belt.
“He distinguishes me, he comes to attract attention. So I will devote the attention to you you are looking for. I really want to fight these masters. It really doesn’t matter who is the first,” Carrington said about Espinoza. “But I really want action. I just love to fight.”
Espinosis: A perilous opponent
With a look of fear in Carrington’s eyes during his fight with Mateus Heita last Saturday he will not want to be in the ring with an even more perilous guy, such as espinosis. The whole movement, which Bruce made against Heitie, showed how he was afraid of fighting Punchers. Espinosis would be like Heita X 2. He would be tenacious in the persecution of Carrington around the ring.
“So, if he comes here to watch him fight, I assume he is interested in fighting me. So let’s do it,” Carrington said about Rafael Espinoza. “All this is playing and waiting. You have a fight [date] Scheduled for September and you don’t have an opponent yet. Let’s do it. Let’s do it. “
It would be admirable if Carrington showed his spine and took up the fight with Espinosis in September. This is not realistic, because Espinosis ended what Mateus Heita and Sulaiman Segawa began against him.
Blef Carrington examined
Carrington sounds like he was bluffing. He would not fight Espinosis after winning the WBC momentary title. “Shu Shu” promoters in the highest rank conquer him towards WBC master Stephen Fulton, because he cannot hit and there is less risk. Carrington did not fight for this time bar for nothing.
“If not, Stephen Fulton. Let’s Makaj it. [WBC featherweight] title. I have a momentary title. We can do it. You have a regular belt. Let’s take it, “Carrington said.
Of course, the WBC 126-LB Stephen Fulton (23-1, 8 KO) champion is Carrington’s real goal. If he weren’t, he wouldn’t go towards the WBC ranking and the fight for their momentary title.
Carrington could go on the WBO belt held by Espinosis. The fact that he didn’t tell you everything you need to know. Carrington did not want to entangle Espinosis 6’1 ″ because it is too perilous. He will destroy his career, just like in Robeisa Ramirez.
Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.
Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.
Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.
Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.
“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.
“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.
“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”
Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.
Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.
The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.
Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.
It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.
Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.
With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.
“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.
“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.
“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”
While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
