If you follow boxing, you certainly know that last weekend it turned out to a gigantic extent. Ryan Garcia was dropped by Romero, and then allowed Romero to travel to the decision. It was great nervousness, but many fans were disappointed. However, Devin Haney, shocking, managed to act less impressive than Garcia. Fighting with Jose Ramirez, he looked almost as if Haney was trying to imitate Muhammad Ali in the Fleet Ali best. The difference was that Ali broke up when he bounced around the ring. Haney seemed unaware of this fact. Sure, the former delicate king won the fight, but apparently he didn’t get up-to-date fans.

All this fell on Times Square on Friday, a well -intended choice of place that turned out to be awkward. The next night, in Saudi Arabia, Canelo Alvarez faced an unclear letter named William Scull, a man who also jumped, refusing to throw. As mentioned, Scull seemed quite satisfied with his performance. Again, however, it was like Ali rising like a butterfly, refusing to sting like a bee. Some felt Scull should win because Canelo did not cope well with him. Scull was an opponent for everyone because he barely did nothing effectively. Avoiding an opponent and running from one are two separate things, that’s why Canelo won from judges. Scull either did not realize it or he did not care.

Fortunately, Nayya Inoue and Ramon Cardenes stopped the weekend from a total misfire, going on a Sunday evening at the Vegas war. Cardenes dropped Inoue early and then gave the man a real fight. Robust Inoue rose to this occasion after the arising of the mat, ultimately winning the war for exhaustion with space. Unfortunately, Inoue and Cardenes (along with the addition of Teofimo Lopez, who looked great on Times Square on Friday) were an exception last weekend, not the rules. Looking objectively at Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it is worth asking what went wrong. In the case of this answer, look for Garcia, Haney, Scull and Canelo answers. People can blame Al-Sheikh Turks for Friday’s failure, but the truth is that he is guilty of placing a great card in the wrong place on Friday. It was not his fault Canelo and Haney’s wines that decided to achieve worse results. Or that Canelo couldn’t stop Scull.

So why did these valued professionals not achieve worse results? Haney criticizes, but the truth is that he was beaten so much by (intentionally or not) Garcia a year ago that he lost his confidence and is probably shy. Let’s hope it warms up to fight. Garcia is a more sophisticated matter. He has long suffered from the problems with the ring, so it certainly could have had something to do with the loss of Romero. On the other hand, the fight in purity could also have something to do with failure. Either way, there is no sugar coating that it has a bit to do if he wants to return to the ring. As for Scull, people say that he was not interested in fighting. I think he felt he was fighting. However, this is him and his team. Perhaps, if he threw more, things would go differently.

Which leads us to Canelo. The truth is that it is hard to face a man who does not want to fight. As for people who think that the younger version of Canelo would achieve better results, they may be right. However, no one can overcome his father’s time and can be a episode calling a slothful warrior. Now, when in September he is to fight with Terenka Crawford, Canelo will want to look better than on Saturday evening in Vegas. Undoubtedly, Crawford will be prepared – and will not run on the ring either.

When he perceived as a whole, it seems that the last weekend was “one of these things.” What if it is not? What if there were more than fighters just with bad nights at the same time? Haney is 26 years elderly. Like Garcia. Is it possible that the argument that people throw is true – that younger warriors do not have a heart today – that when things go south, they fall apart? It can be, but it is quite an accusation. Again, this may be true, but it is also worth remembering that Garcia and Haney could bring additional luggage to the ring on Friday. Let’s not forget that 29 -year -old Cardenas fought on Sunday like a warrior. We will need more evidence before we reject a whole generation of talented fighters. At the moment, however, the future may not look so brilliant in some star attractions than a week ago.

David Benavidez is ready to take Cinco de Mayo from Canelo Alvarez if his Mexican Nemesis is fighting in Great Britain.

To his frustration, the WBC heavyweight champion has long wanted to fight Canelo. Despite the years of racing, Canelo never accepted the fight, even when WBC ordered her.

When Canelo has four Turki Alalshikh fights, which will not include him, Benavidez will try to become the modern star of Las Vegas.

After winning Canelo over William Scull, to become a master of medium superpower again, Benavidez remains frozen.

Canelo is closed in the face of Crawford on September 12 at the Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas. On Saturday evening, the fighters went face to face in Riyadh to seal the contract.

Along with his falling return, the pound star as a pound wants his third contract to be a debut in Great Britain in May 2026. The likely opponent is Chris Eubank Jr.

The British actions increased from a very good performance in demanding a unanimous decision against Conor Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur London stadium. However, as World Boxing News informed many times, Canelo was always interested in Eubank Jr. for the future fight for the title of world champion.

That is why the King of Super Medium WBO, WBA, IBF and WBC can place all his lanes on the line for Canelo vs. Eubank Jr. At the Wembley stadium on May 2 next year.

This releases the same date so that the next Mexican falls and take over the tradition of Las Vegas Strip if it is confirmed.

Oscar de la Hoya kept this place until 2007 before Floyd Mayweather took power. The boxing legend donated the baton to Canelo in 2015.

If the Sampson Lewkowicz promoter gets his way, Benavidez will be the next one that will secure the long -term date.

In a statement sent to WBN this week, Sampson Boxing said: “Lewkowcz says that he did everything to make the celebration of Cinco de Mayo in Las Vegas next year is not unforgettable, fighting with a lightweight heavyweight supergim of David Benavidez.

“Lewkowcz says that his mission is a showdown for a lightweight heavyweight supremacy between the” Mexican monster “David Benavidez a Bivol or Beterbaview for Cinco de Mayo from 2026 in Las Vegas.”

In the case of the gloomy performance of Canelo against Scull, Lewkowcz added: “After watching Canelo Alvarez on Saturday evening and how he looked, I would not put him in Benavidez for fear that he would be seriously injured.

“David Benavidez will fight in autumn, and then he will be ready for Cinco de Mayo to face Bivol or Beterbaview. The torch will finally be given to him as a modern face face.”

After frustration with Canelo Benavidez, he faced Bivol as a must -be contemporary. The story repeated itself until WBC worked, he took the Bivol belt and gave it to Benavidez.

Bivol’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, said that the fight would never happen because of the contract with Beterbalin for the trilogy.

The head of Matchroom could not understand why the World Boxing Council ordered the fight without trying to throw out the contract.

“His Excellency came out and made a rematch when he didn’t have to,” said Hearn Fight Hub TV. “Part of this agreement was that if we win, the third fight for Artur Beterbaview would take place. So I was very surprised by the speed of order.

“Don’t forget that Dmitriry Bivol has just won the WBC title. You always get Grace as a master. It wasn’t like it was ordered and Benevidez was waiting.”

President of WBC Mauricio Sulamain said Bivol had rejected the Benavidez offer worth $ 8 million. Hearn was not satisfied with the disclosure of this information.

“He simply defeated Morrella and it is as right, negotiations of the boom. Boom, a purse auction, a boom, informing people about the public offer.

“I mean when there was a time when someone from the organization publicly talked about the offer that Dimitri Bivol received?

“Actually, it’s quite strange. It’s like trying to put pressure on him to fight.

“The money is not located near money, which he intends to earn for fighting Beterbaiev, but it doesn’t matter if the offer was 20 million. We have a contract, and we also have our word, which is our bond, with which we never go.

“We will take the third fight. We will fight his Excellency because he gave Dmitriry the greatest opportunity.

“And by the way, in my opinion. And it is very challenging for Mauricio and WBC, because you are under great pressure from all different parties.

“The biggest fights in sport must be allowed and sometimes replace the mandatory obligation.

“For me, Bivol vs Beterbiev is the biggest fight in the division. We saw the two best fights I’ve ever seen. Why wouldn’t you let the third unquestionable?”

Bivol vs Beterbiev will not be unquestioned when it takes place this fall in Saudi Arabia. The winner will decide whether Benavidez will get a shot in the crown of four stripes after receiving the WBC version from the trilogy.

You have to joke. Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull was not just boring-it was a television nap, a 12-round sleepy, who made the fans stare at their screens, wondering if someone forgot to tell the fighters that they fought. It’s not only weaker – he offended everyone who stayed, paid or wasted a weekend night, hoping for the action. And yet here, with Scull running in his mouth, claiming that he should have won. Incredible.

Sculla’s reasoning? “If he doesn’t hit me, why should I risk it?” Oh, please. This is not a tactical genius – it hides. This hopes to skate, doing less than a second guy. Sure, Cuban style values ​​defense, but this is not an excuse to throw a handful of blows within 36 minutes and pretend that you will master “The Sweet Science”. It is called boxing, not “they exist quietly in the ring.”

And now, like salt in an open wound, Amir Khan jumps. Khan – the same guy who took his head through Canelo years ago – now he says that Scull won.

You watched the Canelo vs. disaster Scull and went away, thinking that Scull won for two rounds? Did you fall asleep in half and dreamed another fight? Because the rest of us were extensive-painted-observing one of the slowest, most dead 12-order in the latest memory.

“It was the prettiest and could go both ways.” Pretty? Pretty What, Amir – quite terrible? Quite embarrassing? Quite close to a far -free farce? Come, man. You were in great fighting. You know what the performance looks like, and it wasn’t. Scull landed next to nothing. Canelo was barely sweating. The only thing that should “leave in both directions” was remote control.

“I probably won Scull in two rounds.” Based on what exactly? Returning back convincing? Are you smiling at Canelo between rounds? Do you throw away an occasional stab in the air? It’s one thing to be generous. This is another to be completely detached from reality.

“I like Canelo, I think he is a great warrior and I think he chose shots better and laid shots.” Right – so do you admit that Canelo has landed better and cleaner, and yet you hand it to Scull? This is not an analysis, it is a comedy sketch.

“Regardless of how the fight went, it was a great performance of both fighters.” No, Amir. NO. It wasn’t. It was a sluggish, continuous, awkward event that caused the fans to mumble “Never Again” before the last bell rang. Calling this “great” spits in the face of every fan who sat through him, hoping for something he will happen.

Let’s explain: “Performance” Sculla encourages this rubbish. He tells the fighters that they can choose, hug, dance and still pat on the back. And from the former master, no less – he is embarrassing.

Here is a suggestion, Amir: Next time, let’s say it was a misfire. Say that Scull survived, maybe he approached your eyes, but don’t insult boxing, dressing it as “great”. Fans deserve honesty, not an illusion.
