He comes back anyway. After more than a year from the professional Ring of the Ryan Garcia prize, it will slip between the ropes to face Rolando Romero on Times Square on May 25. This is an intriguing duel between two demanding strokes, colorful and oriented fighters. Although 26-year-old Garcia is undoubtedly on the side and in this duel, it is not that he will fight the melody. Romero is a high -quality player who will certainly want to upset the Apple figurative stroller, winning a nervous victory over Garcia in spring.
Garcia recently fought in April 2024, when he repeatedly knocked down, and then decided Devin Haney in a fight, which he was not supposed to win. And ultimately Garcia removed the victory from his record after it was reported that he obtained a positive result in terms of forbidden substance in his system. Garcia was not only deprived of winning with Haney, but was suspended in the fight match for the whole year. Now, when his suspension is coming to an end, Garcia – whose behavior was strange, which states that to fight Haney – seems to be a more low key when he is preparing for his fight in May.
As for Romero, his last fight was the victory of Ud Manuel James in September. A slope 16-2, from Vegas, knocked out everyone except the three men he defeated. In other words, he hits and hits demanding. Regardless of whether he will be able to get Garcia, it’s a different story. Although both men lost to Gervont Davis, Garcia is perceived as maybe he has a better pedigree of two men. Again, however, everything is possible in boxing, and Romero is not humpback. He is a worthy opponent of a man known as “King of Ry”
The card on May 25 is shiny. Although the main event will be the fight of Garcia-Romero, Devin Haney will face Jose Ramirez, and Teofimo Lopez will also compensate against Arnold Barboz. It’s a laid waist, full of significant talent. Like Garcia, Lopez will fight in Munior Welter. This means that the earnest throws between Garcia and Lopez may go down in the near future, provided that both win in May. And Garcia-Haney’s rematch will always be fine. This spring, there is many to the Times Square to the rate. Garcia, Romero and others ride a lot at their performances, which certainly makes things intriguing.
Dana White revealed how she plans to run a up-to-date league of TKO boxing promotion, which Alalshikh started with Turki. White says he will build it from scratch using the UFC model as his success plan.
Dana intends to sign warriors to the league, and they will compete and fail, just as warriors in UFC do. He says they get rid of five different sanctioning bodies and will simply have one for their league. In boxing, it will not be impossible to control the entire sport with the league. It does not work in other companies and will not work in boxing.
Even if Dany receives all the best fighters, if they intend to compete with other great warriors, they will not last long. How can they?
Risk containing a career
Fighters excluded from this boxing league will continue to track four sanctioning bodies, fight with Dazem and will be signed with popular promoters who are now conducting sport. They will not give up the fight just because they were not chosen in the league.
Being in a league in which a handful of high -quality fighters will repeatedly face exhausting fights, will probably shorten their career. Imagine fighters such as David Benavidez and David Morrell, competing four or five times with each other in the boxing league, which follows the UFC model. How about Shakur Stevenson struggling with power, such as Gervonta four or five times. After these fights, there would not be many Shakur.
Their careers can be shortened because of the punishment they endure. Yes, this is entertainment for fans, but there will be hell for fighters who will become repetitive tough fights. Carrying bookies are much more severe than in UFC. If I were a boxer, I would not like to be in the league where I always fought the “best” every time. You can’t do it in boxing without a quick end of your career.
“People want to see great fights. Boxing has become the one in which you must be invincible so that people can care for you. It will all disappear – said Dana White The first shot of ESPNTalking about your up-to-date partnership with Turka Alalshikh in order to create a boxing league.
“There are many guys that we look at, who will be on this leaves that have many Oh. Everyone will fight with each other, and what people want to see are great fights. They want to know who is the best in the world. “
Is this “the best”?
If Dana White and Turki fighters sign this up-to-date boxing league, they will only fight with other guys in this list, as they prove that they are “The best in the world?“This is not the best. All they really do is prove that they are the best in this league with a narrow number of fighters who compete. It seems that what Turks do now works better, choosing great fighters, signing them for brief contracts and creating fascinating fights. You don’t need an isolated league to do such things.
It is like AFL, which ran separately from the NFL in 1960–1970. The only thing when the teams from two leagues played each other were Super Bowl. In the season you do not have teams from AFL teams playing NFL teams until they joined in 1970. Creating a boxing league in which fighters compete only with other warriors in this league. The idea does not work better than the current situation in sport.
“I implement elementary things, the best fight,” said White. “There are many talents that we look at now, which nobody knows about. I would like to build it from scratch, just like us from UFC. When we originally bought UFC, we had twelve contracts. You started to have everyone who matches everyone. When you get to the top five, you can’t deny who the best five guys in the world are, and then everyone is fighting to see who the world champion is. “
How can the first five in a tiny league be called the best in the world when you talk about a narrow pool of fighters? White says he started from 12 and claims that the first five was the best in the world? What is he talking about? They are only the best in this tiny company, but not in the world. Thanks to this boxing league, if they compete only with other warriors in the league, you can’t call them the best.
The way it happened in the current system were fighters from the highest ranking, mechom, golden boy and PBC often focused on establishing fighting with guys in this promotional company. It was like four or five different leagues. This up-to-date league with Dana White and Turki is simply more the same thing we have seen. The only difference is that Turki has more money to lure good fighters. If they intend to only compete with a narrow number of guys in this league, it will not be as engaging as now.
Promoter Eddie Hearn still did not give up little hopes that Shakur Stevenson is fighting Gervont Davis. In an interview, the delicate champion of WBC Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) had the appearance and sound of a warrior who admitted that the match against Tank would never happen.
Lost cause?
Promoter Matchroom, Hearn, counted on the first giving Shakur a supple opponent who he did and then began fighting with William Zepeda to prepare him for Gervont Davis. However, Zepeda and his Golden Boy promoters did not show interest in the fight against Shakur.
As for tank, he has his own problems, dealing with Lamont Roach’s mess. If this is done, Davis apparently wants Vasily Lomachenko, Ryan Garcia, and even Jake Paul. Shakur has no meals on his list.
When Gervont presented the conditions for Shakur to fight him, saying that he had to face his “brother” Keyshawn Davis, he just informed him and everyone knew that there would never be a fight. Shakur got a clue and that’s why he looks defeated now. He is now aware that he was a fool to chase this misery for so long seeing things they really.
Hearna’s solution
Eddie does not give up and is understandable why. Champion WBA Tank Davis is the only fight for money for Shakur at the age of 135. If Hearn can’t fight, Shakur signed for nothing.
What’s more, the way he performed in his fight with a substitute opponent Josh Padley On February 22, he is unable to support his WBC belt and an invincible record if Hearn throws him into the general population along with the killers at the age of 135
Fighting with Padley and Edwin de Los Santos showed that Shakur is not good enough to be with any of the candidates with delicate skills. You put in Stevenson with Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason, Ernesto Mercado, Raymond Muratalla or Frank Martin, that’s over. But Hearn cannot give Shakur special treatment to keep him in the section, isolated from predatory sharks.
Shakur Stevenson: “Eddie, I’m not going to lie. I am ready to fight with everyone. “
Eddie Hearn: “Is [William] Zepeda is going to fight you? Of course there is a tank fight, that is, a fight. Tanks, there will really be no opponents. “
“We have one fight left, and then several options and we want Shakur to be with us for the rest of his career,” said Eddie Hearn IFL TVResponding to the saying that Shakur Stevenson says he has only one fight in the contract with match boxing and wants the fight to be against Gervont Davis.
“I think Shakur is the best 135-pound. Just because Tank had a bad performance last Saturday, people say now: “Yes, I think Shakur defeats Tank,” while before last Saturday “Oh, you would never beat Tank.” Boxing is like that.
“His [Tank-Shakur] Just a great fight. I really want this fight to be and I believe with all my heart, Shakur Stevenson defeats Gervont Davis, “said Hearn.
Floyd Mayweather’s boxing legend demanded from Canelo Alvarez at 152 pounds when he agreed to a contract with Youthful Buck in 2013.
Mayweather, Leonard Ellerbe, revealed the surprising fact of the battle of the former pound for the undisputed ruler of Canelo. Named “The One”, when presented in Las Vegas, the aging 36-year-old Mayweather accepted the younger Whipip-Snapper in Canelo at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Despite his sensitivity, Canelo accumulated an impressive 42-0-1 record. At that time he was a united super-high champion in the field of only 23 years. Despite the growing references, Mayweather had no problems signing negotiations on the fourth duel with six struggles with Showtime sports.
Floyd Mayweather vs Canelo
In 44-0, the Las Vegas competition was seen as an alternative to fans, seeing how Mayweather heads to Manny Pacquiao. At that time, four four fighters in weight classes from 147 to 154 pounds are Mayweather, Juan Manuel Marquez, Pacquiao and Canelo. Adding “Change of Guardian” and “Master vs. The student “made the collision even more pleasant.
To make everything more even, Mayweather was initially aimed at a tight 154-pound Canelo. Many thought they would ask for a maximum weight limit of 150 pounds, but not as indicated by Ellerbe. The General Director of the Mayweather Promotions said that Floyd was pleased to give Canelo an additional pair of pounds to prove that the point of the upcoming warrior was about who was a better warrior.
Ellerbe stated that Floyd’s decision meant that the difference at night of the fight was almost twenty pounds.
“Before [the Canelo fight]He told the media that he would be ready to fight at the age of 50. We arrived at 152. [Canelo then] He prevailed him [by] 19 pounds on the night [the fight]Ellerbe said.
Mayweather weighed just over 150 pounds, which was definitely pressure, but it was the second highest sign of his career. What happened only a day later during the fight was nothing unusual, considering what Canelo achieved.
Even with one of the most shocking results cards of all -time judges, courtesy of CJ Ross, Floyd did enough to put the Mexican future superstar in his place.
I lost every round
WBN, shooting live at night, could not give Canelo one round, this was the dominance at the “Money” man’s exhibition. At his Majestic Best Mayweather was always inviolable. Given the fact of Ellerbe, the victory was all the more impressive.
Due to the weight of Canelo, the fight would be impossible nowadays. That is why 2013 was an ideal time for anyone interested. Canelo admitted that he learned a lot from his experience with Mayweather and was grateful that he had the opportunity to face a great one.
Now a four -member ruler with belts exceeded at 154, 160, 168 and 175, Canelo is today’s version of what Mayweather has been for many years.
