Promotions of the highest rank and ESPN reportedly go in separate ways
Published

By: Sean Crose
In what is probably not a surprise, it is not to the top -class promotion for anyone and ESPN, apparently separate ways when their partnership is legally ended this summer. While ESPN certainly put great matches there, the highest rank seemed to be pushed to the side by UFC. In a world where boxing is now all over the world by tensioning its muscles, the most critical American sports network has clearly lost interest in sweet science. Perhaps, if the highest rank had huge names, such as Tank Davis and Ryan Garcia in their stable things, could work differently. Although he has known names, such as Nayya Inoue, the highest rank does not seem much on the road to the crossover.
Of course, nothing is official yet, so you never know, but the report here – from the ring, first, and then others – seems to be widely accepted. In fact, it has never been a great partnership. Yes, in recent years there have been great fights, including more than one with the participation of Vasyl Lomachenko, but often combat cards did not start even tardy on Saturday evenings, on the east coast. Simply put, there were and there are better places for the highest rank. After all, the Bob Arum Helmed organization remains one of the most powerful boxing forces.
Considering this, sport certainly goes through a strange time that could take it exponentially or hurt if/when Saudi money ends. However, the Saudis deserve to be considered to be provided by the delivery of one main card on the other (I hope that the trend will continue). Indeed, he can replace Las Vegas as the heart and soul of this sport. However, this is not only intensive Saudi interest that change things into the head. In general, it is now a stream sport, not a television.
Not that streaming makes such a substantial difference. After all, a broadcast fight is a transmitting fight. Still, there are signs that the venerable way of doing things is over. It can be a good or bad thing again. Only time will show. In the meantime, there are many good fights to enjoy … Only you will not be able to watch them on ESPN soon. In this way, it is worth remembering that boxing turned out to be the most pliant sport from a decade after a decade until the 19th century.
There is no reason to think that the trend will not be continued.

Ball: Dubois can be foiled with body shots in the rematch

Nick Ball says Daniel Dubois can “Potentially remove” Oleksandr Usyk, if he hit his body in their rematch on July 19 at a Wembley Stadium in London.
Ball states that he felt a shot on the right, which Dubois (22-2, 21 KO) dropped Usyk (23-0, 14 KO) in the fifth round of the first fight on August 26, 2023, should not be ruled by a judge.
Ball felt that he landed on his “stomach”, which would cause Dubois to win with a knockout in the fifth round. Usyk remained on canvas for three minutes and forty -five seconds before returning.
Nick Ball on Dubois’s Body Shot strategy
Ball of the featherweight master believes that Usyk’s weakness is in the body and believes that Dubois can exploit it if it is aimed at this area. Nick believes that the result of the Usyk VS Dubois 2 rematch can be determined by Daniel’s striking body.
Dubois was later dropped by Usyk in the ninth round in something that looked like a departure from the juvenile Daniel. The way he bowed to the fight made the fans forget that he potentially robbed victory with a missed connection in the fifth round.
Dubois will have to show greater strength in the rematch, because if he gives up when it happens, he will never have the opportunity to focus on the weakness of Usyk in his body.
“Yes, 100%. Daniel is on a roll, and in the first he hurt him,” said Nick Ball Seconds Asked if Daniel Dubois could defeat Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch. “When he catches him in the second, he can potentially pull him out.”
Usyk will make it complex for dubois landing on his body, constantly moving, stabbing him with stabs and joining when he enters the inside.
“I thought everything was all right,” said Ball asked if he thinks that the shot with which Dubois fell from Usyk in the fifth round of the first fight was low. “Yes, he hit him with a blow. It was in the body, and he fell and stopped and was hurt. Yes, he was his weakness. So exploit him against him to pull him out.”

Bill Haney issued his list of 10-battle hits for his son, Devin Haney to fight, and fans consider her too ambitious. Most of the fighters on the list would be too good for Haney from shocks (32-0, 15 KO) in its current form, especially Jaron Ennis, Gervonta Davis and Teofimo Lopez.
Bill perceives Teofimo as Golden standard Because who wants Devin to fight next, but he is completely out of reach. The fight between Lopez and IBF and the WBA Jaron “Boots” HEADISA champion is in summer. Teo does not change his fighting plans for a lot of money with shoes to face Haney in what would probably be a modest task.
Haney’s fears
Fans believe that these warriors will destroy Devin and ended what Ryan Garcia started last year. Bill seems to be trying to lure his great name for his fighting son, Haney, to fight after his fatal performance against Jose Ramirez on May 2.
Promoter Oscar de la Hoya gave Haney bad news on Wednesday, telling the media, “No, this is not a direction in which we want to go. Zero at all.” De La Hoya Bogst Bill Marzenie Devina will get a lucrative rematch with Ryan, whom he waited a year ago for a fight after the Up-to-date York sports commission suspended him for supporting a filthy one a year ago.
Bill will have to revise his list and a more realistic view on who he can potentially get Haney to fight. The extensive majority of fighters he chose for his list of 10-borsters would not be interested in fighting Haney. They are either busy or they would not like to fight him because there is no mountain.
Devin Haney versus everyone

2. Shakur Stevenson

4. Jaron “Boots” Ennis

Turki: Haney’s last hope?
Bill must hope that Turks Alalshikh comes to Devin’s rescue and offers one of these fighters a lot of money to fight Dev. I don’t know if it will do it after Haney’s first performance against Ramirez on the Times Square card in Up-to-date York on May 2.
If you are Turki, you would like to go in a different direction, not exploit Devin, because he fights too similar to Shakur Stevenson. Turki is already fighting his card on July 12 in Up-to-date York. There is no need for another Shakur warrior to have a lifeless performance.
Turki needs fighters who play, create positive fans’ reactions and make them want to buy future events at PPV. When it comes to saving boxing, Turki must avoid turning lifeless fighters on his cards and focus more on those that cause emotions. Haney, Shakur and Richardson Hitchins do not have fun.
