Ranking This weekend fights: from Navarrete-Suaraz to Lubin-Holmes

Published

on

After Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, Canelo Alvarez and others did not fulfill last weekend, fighting fans do not have to wait long for more on paper, with thrilling duels in various time zones in California, Florida, England, Africa and Japan.

ESPN spreads the best card and evaluates all significant fights this weekend.


1. Anthony Cacace vs. Leigh Wood – Junior Lightweight Fight (Dazn, Saturday at 14:00 et)

After the last fight, Wood said that he wanted to end his career with the fight for the title of Master in the city, the House of the English Club Premier League Nottingham Forest.

None of these wishes will be fulfilled on Saturday for a 36-year-old, but a slight younger fight is still significant. Wood (28-3, 17 KO) is at least boxing in front of family fans of cities in Nottingham, in the internal arena, where Carl Froch carved his excellent career in Super Middle Wweight.

Cacace (23-1, 8 KO) from Belfast in Northern Ireland resigned from the IBF world, which he won against Joe Cordin in May 2024 to make it happen. And despite the fact that there were no recognized titles on the line, this fight sees the two best operators of this division.

Wood was in the first place in a featherweight, before he gave up the WBA belt after winning in the seventh round over Josh Warrington in October 2023. But Wood’s career got stuck since then, while Cacace fought in Saudi Arabia, and the victory of the detention over Cordina raises his career at the highest level.

Cacace, also 36, was more dynamic (he also defeated Warrington, winning a unanimous decision in September) and has significant growth and achievements. He has a good reason to be confident as No. 2 ESPN at Junior Lightweight, entering this fight. But what if Wood does not show a trace of a long release during the first output at the level of 130 pounds, inspired by his home fans to extend his career? It would be another fairy -tale episode in Wood’s career, which still raises dramatic surprises.

The winner of this fight would be a natural opponent of the winner of the Saturday fight Emanuel Navarrete vs. Charly Suarez WBO.


2. Emanuel Navarrete vs. Charly Suarez – Junior Lightweight Title Fight (ESPN/ESPN+, Saturday at 22:00 ET)

Emanuel Navarrete knocking Oscar Valdez

Emanuel Navarrete claims that the victory over the Oscar Valdez in a rematch with a perilous shot.

Navarrete, a world champion with three divisions, looked sensational during the last exit, when he crushed Oscar Valdez with a shot to the liver in a rematch in December. In this form, a Mexican warrior is mandatory.

Navarrete (39-2-1, 32) defends his lithe WBO belt against the Sanzez Philippines in San Diego on Saturday, and a good performance can strengthen his place at the top of the 130-pound division. Navarrete was ruthless compared to Valdez, raising it three times before stopping, and another stunning display could convince him to try another crack in a lithe division. Navarrete lost his divided decision for Denys Berinchyk, which is hard for the lithe belt WBO in May 2024, but he could be tempted to continue to continue the more lucrative fights in lightweight lithe, if he defeated Suarez (18-0, 10 KO). It is also possible to fight the title of union with the WBC Master O’Shaquie Foster for Navarrete, if he wants to stay at the age of 130.


3. Erickson Lubin vs. Ardreal Holmes Jr. – eliminator of the Junior medium weight title (Probox TV, Saturday at 18:00 et)

This is a clash of two Southpaws who desperately have to win this eliminator of the IBF medium weight title.

Lubin (26-2, 18 KO), from Orlando in Florida, has experience, but he takes place from a long release: he has not fought from September 2023, when he won the unanimous decision about Jesus Ramos, due to a hand injury delaying his return. Holmes (17-0, 6 KO), with Flint, Michigan, is less experienced, but has impetus after registering three wins in 2024.

Lubin can be thrilling and was involved in an thrilling fight with Sebastian Fundor three years ago. The winner of the Saturday fight in Kissimmee in Florida is progressing in the fight with the Bakhram Master Murtazaliev champion.


4. Fernando Martinez vs. Kazuto Iok – fight for the title Junior Bantameight on Sunday

After the relentless fire of the fire in July last year, Martinez and Iok meet again on Sunday in Tokyo and more are expected of the same. Martinez (17-0, 9 KO) won a unanimous decision after he won Iok in their struggle with the title of unification in Japan.

How much this fight took a 36-year-old Iok will determine whether it can take revenge and win the title of world champion in the third weight class.

Iok (31-3-1, 16 KO), from Japan, began his career 16 years ago and will have to undo years to keep up with a 33-year-old WBA master from Argentina.

This rematch has been delayed since December, after Martinez withdrew with the disease, but it is worth waiting.


5. Souleysteme Cissokho vs. Egidijus Kavaliauskas – WBC Wytreight Walteight Eliminator on Saturday

Equatorial Guinea, place of Saturday’s fight, is 2000 miles from Senegal, where Cissokho was born (17-0, 9 KO). But it will still look like a fight to return home. He will make a dream of boxing in Africa when he faces Kavaliauskas (24-2-1, 19 KO) at the Eliminator of the WBC welterweight title in the capital of Malabo.

Cissokho, who has the title shot, is based in Paris, but trains in California with Virgil Hunter. If he wins, he will have this opportunity and time in the spotlight.

The injury delayed the fight, and the 18-month absence of the ring will be Cissokho’s concern, which will face a perilous hit in California Kavaliauskas.

But Kavaliauskas was detained twice that he increased the level (by Vergil Ortiz in 2021 and Terenka Crawford in 2019), and this looks like a golden opportunity for an knowledgeable boxer, like Cissokho to seal the great fight for later.

Fabio Wardley is hit by Justis Huni to show the title certificates

Published

on

Fabio Wardley provided more convincing evidence of his impact power to knock off Justis Huni in round 10, when on Saturday he lost the fight in front of his home fans in Ipswich, England.

Huni dominated the fight until Wardley (19-0-1, 18 KO) landed with a huge right hand to the jaw, which left the Australian apartment on his back, so that the thrill of emotions about 20,000 Wardley fans at the Portman Stadium Stadium Stadium Stadium stadium stadium. Despite the fact that he was behind the results cards and looking for a defeat, Wardley created a dynamite finish he needed to take a large step towards challenges for the world heavyweight title in 2026.

Huni (12-1, 7 KO) looked like he won points when his blows turned out to be too acute and educated for Wardley. But one blow changed everything after 1.42 seconds in round 10.

Oleksandr Usyk, WBC, WBA and WBO World Heavyweight Champion will face the title of IBF Daniel Dubois to decide on the undisputed master at the Wembley stadium in London, July 19, and Wardley, after one impact, there is now one fight in the world, probably in the world, probably in 2026. Victory was PiS Pister mandatory, but he may be one of the winners from the world that is in the world. Bulgarian veteran Kubrat Pulev and Michael Hunter from the United States before he received the first shot from the world.

“I am not saying that I am a utym or huni with all skills, but I know how to dig deeply, dig a rubber shield and get this result,” Wardley said.

“I should have been better in some of these rounds, and sometimes you have to find something else to win. We won. He is a great warrior, but I found a way.”

Huni said: “Turning off only a second and it happened.”

Wardley hopes that he will become another biggest thing in his hometown of Ipswich after the musician Ed Sheeran and Ipswich Town, the football team fell from the English Premier League last month and, unlike the football team, is upstairs.

Wardley’s creation to the heavyweight elite was speedy. After only four amateur duels, he left his work as a recruitment consultant in the health and social care sector to focus on his boxing career in 2017. Wardley had only four boxing boxers as a beginner amateur before he changed the professional, but was on the brink of a world title.

Wardley, who had a tiny spell in the youth team in Ipswich Town as a teenager, began fighting as a chapter No. 1 WBA behind Pulev after two fights with the English rival Clarke’s phraseer, he raised his career to a modern level last year. Their first fight ended with a draw of points after a brutal meeting, which made Wardley on the ice cream diet a week later, because his jaw hurts so much. But in the rematch in October, Wardley sent Clarke to a round with a broken jaw and a broken cheekbone.

During the second subsequent fight, Six Five Wardley, whose partner is to give birth next week, showed what a perilous blow. Then his promoter Frank Warren compared him to the former WBC DEONTAY WILDER master.

Unlike Wardley, Huni for six feet of four, he had an outstanding amateur career, which made him win the bronze medal at the 2019 World Championships, but his professional career was snail-paced until she gathered last year.

26 -year -old Huni from Brisbane showed that boxing in the authoritative first round, but Wardley was better in the second round behind his stab.

The Australian gathered a few neat combinations in round 3, before Wardley began the fourth aggressively, but the Englishman was not able to maintain the pace.

Huni’s highest experience, built mainly from his amateur career, became really observable in the first half of the fight, and the Australian was too charming for a family hero. In round 5 Huni has repeatedly landed high -quality shots from close range, including the left hook at the end of the round.

The British and master Commonwealth Wardley, whose manager is the title for the title, Dillian Whyte and who paired Usyk, was too half the way, when Huni’s blows turned out to be too acute that the native of Ipswich could avoid.

Huni landed brilliantly in sixth place, when he became dominant more and more often. In the 7th round, Wardley looked temporarily concerned about the stab when Huni increased his advantage.

Wardley was on the rear foot in round 8, when Huni landed in the left, which made Wardley chased to win.

And he delivered him, dusking a tiny right hand in round 10, which caused Huni to crash on his back and count.

Wardley may not have the same amateur pedigree and boxing education as others, but he again showed the power that brings him to the title of the world.

Bradley calls Haney: “Get Mind” among PTSD Talk after losing Garcia

Published

on

Image: Rolly Romero Refers To Devin Haney As Being A Track Star

Tim Bradley says that Devin Haney “must improve the mind” because he can’t continue to perform, as he showed in his last fight with Jose Ramirez. Bradley wants Haney (32-0, 15 KO) to grow out of his mental problems, which he considers as a form of PTSD from the combat service, and returns to being a warrior he was once before Ryan Garcia passed him a year ago.

(Credit: Geoffrey Knott/Matchroom)

Haney’s mental state

Bradley has no useful advice for Devin to return to his ex -self, because at first he never had a gigantic chin. He cannot hit, and his chances of competing with the killers at 147 like Jaron Ennis and Brian Norman Jr. They are slim and none. Unfortunately, Haney is too gigantic to return to 140 and 135 to be a bang.

“This form of Devina is not hard to overcome. This form of Devina is uncomplicated. Mentally, the way he behaved in his last fight. I know how you beat Devina. You fell to him,” said Tim Bradley to go on Fight. “Whatever you want to say about his last performance, if you want to call it boxing, you can watch this s ***. I don’t watch it.”

Bradley’s council will not aid. Haney cannot become a brave, engaging warrior, whom Tim wants him to be because the beating he took against Ryan Garcia took something from him. I do not want to put the front line again after this constant bombing of the carpets he took from Kingra.

What was left of keeping a fight or flight that we saw from Haney against Jose Ramirez, in which he looked like he had experienced a flashback. It should be an uncomplicated fight for Devin, but he looked like wild eyes, dealing with fear. Bradley is hard to understand Haney’s behavior, because it is foreign in the way he reacted after the losses in his career.

Tim causes Haney’s dull style

“I don’t want to watch the fight with Haney. I actually try to aid you, Large Dog. I try to keep him 100 to inform you that this is not boxing,” said Bradley. “Two and a half minutes you walk on this ring [circular motion]. You should see your eyes. Your eyes were like cola bottles. “

Turks Alalshikh is still interested in using Haney on his Riyadh seasonal cards. So, no matter how little Bradley and his fans watch his dull fights, he will still be placed on PPV cards to Dazen. He lacked the fight of Teofimo Lopez, which was one of the few options he had for a great payment.

The only other real options for Devin at 147 who earn money are against these warriors:

– Manny Pacquiao
– Rolando “Rolly” Romero
– Conor Benn
– Mario Barrios

Turki will not fit Haney against Jaron Ennis or Brian Norman Jr., because it would be a slaughter. Devin cannot take blows from these warriors and survive more than two rounds. He would probably lose to other pretenders, such as Karen Chukhadzhian and Eimantas Stanionis. These guys are too good to him.

Haney’s Post-Garcia Trauma: Indefinite?

“You were just as scared. They say,” Well, Tim. He has PTSD from Garcia. ” Don’t you think I had PTSD from Ruslan Provodnikov?

Some fighters and soldiers never recover after PTSD. The rest of his life remains with them and it can be like that in the case of Haney. What he went through during the fight with Ryan was a fight and a constant fire for 36 minutes. He was crushed by Garcia and wounded half a dozen times in this fight.

It is too early to know if Devina’s situation is lasting because he had only one fight, but this is not a good sign that after a year he showed symptoms after a year to recover after a beating against Garcia.

A few good fights for Haney at the age of 140 would be against these guys:

– Keyshawn Davis
– Richardson Hitchins
