Vegas breaks out when Inoue destroys Cardenas – unlike the dead Saudi arena!
Published

Let’s just break it apart from the mountain: Canelo, Haney and Garcia milking Boxing fans are parched and it’s time for someone to call this circus.
Canelo dragged his act to Saudi Arabia to fight before what? A sea of empty seats and bored oil princes scrolling their phones. Not singing or roar, even a drunk boy in a crowd shouting abuse – just dead air and zombie VIP. Canelo should break his head in Vegas or pack the stadium in Mexico, where people actually care. Instead, we received this overstated Snoosest in the desert full of people who could not replace the blow if they hit them in the face.
Then there is Times Square – where the fans were practically It is hostile Watching Devin Haney Shadowbox for twelve rounds, while Ryan Garcia – king of boxing selfie – hovered around throwing blows, as if he tried not to break his nail. And let’s not forget that Dad Devina Haney off the beaten track, losing his mind, behaving, as if his son was making a boxing masterpiece, smiling and barking, as if he were the godfather of some technical revolution, while the fans were at a distance of one of the nap group.
And William Scull? What for a joke. He spent twelve rounds Launching As if he were in a charity, not a fight for the title of world champion. Without fire, without sand, without intention to make it a war. He just appeared to survive, catch a check and intact teeth. It was not a pretender – it was a moving bulky bag with a passport. Embarrassing.
I will tell you straight – I would take it Drunk, mug, Eddie Hearn-Insult, chaos soaked in beer of a real boxing crowd Above the dead Saudi VIP naps every day of the week.
Give me a lot – the guys shouting for nonsense, they run away in the transitions over who is rushing, who spills the drinks after the seats, shouting “F— DAZN!” AND “Oi Eddie, you ruin this sport!” As long as security moves your arms and allows it to be reproduced. This is boxing. This is a heartbeat.
Yes, last week I left the atmosphere of Tottenham-all Coked-up Wannabe Stone Island Warriors Shadowboxing in the hall, thinking that they are one of the winnings for the filmmakers of the ring. But you know what? I was wrong. I would take Tottenham every day on Saudi Arabia – Just save me barefoot prostitutes, which after the fighting after the fighting. At least he lives inside.
I will take ten pissed hooligans swaying in beer than in the first time Saudi full of influential, too busy transmission of their sushi plates to see that someone hits the face. This crowd of Vegas during the Inoue war? This is how sport was supposed to feel – violent, messy, alive.
Boxing was never to be pure or silent – it was supposed to be a storm. This night Vegas showed how dead these oil cards are.
Enter Naoye Inoue: Save the damn soul of boxing and pulling it out of a coma
Inoue (30-0, 27 KO) not only appeared to win, he came wage war. Yes, he was broken and dropped in the second round of Cardenas (26-2, 14 Kos)-and you know what he did? He smiled, vacuumed and turned the ring in the battlefield.
In the fifth and sixth rounds he was destruction Cardenas with wicked meters, chopping the body, dividing the guard like a surgeon. Seventh round? Cardenas left, swaying, desperately turned the script – Inoue calmly blew him up with his right hand and folded it like a chair. Round eighth? Only the finish – immaculate, cool violence, until the judge had to pull out Cardenas.
Inoue summarized it beautifully: “I like a fight … I kept peaceful and joined.” This is a real warrior-not influential fluff, without tap dance, without running.
Undercard:
-
Rafael espinosis He examined Edward Vazquez in seven, all gases, without brakes.
-
Rohan Polanco Fabian Maidan dominated, even dropping him overdue on additional punctuation.
-
Emiliano Vargas He went out through Juan Leon in two rounds – Savage.
-
Mikito was drunk He crashed Pedro Marquez five times before the judge pulled the plug.
-
Art Barrera Jr. Chopped Juan Carlos Guerra Jr. with brutal precision.
-
Raeese aleem I lived in Rudy Garcia in ten effortless rounds.
Vegas roared like a real city of struggle. Saudi? You could hear a decrease in the pin between yawning.
This is the question: why, to the hell, we still pretend that channel channels, Haney’s master class, Garcia influential parades, and Saudi crowds are the future of boxing-when Inoue just marched to Vegas and gave us blood, chaos and violence on which this sport was built? Wake up. This is what a real fight looks like.

Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua’s mindset has changed

Anthony Joshua’s mindset has changed with his July return to fighting, and Eddie Hearn says the former heavyweight champion is finally speaking with complete certainty about what he wants next.
Hearn revealed that Joshua is no longer taking the cautious “one fight at a time” approach that has defined much of his recent career. Instead, he claims that AJ is openly talking about destroying Kristian Prenga, knocking out Tyson Fury and becoming heavyweight champion again.
“I have never seen him with such clarity about what he is doing, where he is and what he wants to do,” Eddie Hearn told iFL TV about Joshua.
“He’s basically saying, ‘I want to hurt Prenga. I want to destroy him, and then I want to knock out Tyson Fury, and then I want to try to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.’
“He always said, ‘I’m focused on July 25 and I’m not looking beyond that date.’ He looks beyond it. He has a plan. He has faith in what he is doing now, which makes him excited about the future.
Hearn said Joshua’s mentality and motivation now remind him of a player still chasing greatness, rather than someone content with what he has already achieved.
“He’s training harder now than ever before. He wants it more now than when he had nothing,” Hearn said.
“That’s the sign of a winner. That’s the sign of a true competitor. You don’t put yourself through what he goes through day after day for no reason. He wants it bad.”
Hearn also believes Joshua’s renewed hunger makes him risky again in the heavyweight division after years of criticism over his confidence and mentality following defeats to Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois.

Oleksandr Usyk improved his results in both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions. Now one of only two other men to have reigned in both divisions, David Haye, has shared how he thinks the Ukrainian would fare against the heavyweight icons.
Usyk captured the undisputed cruiserweight crown, scoring away wins over Krzysztof Głowacki, Mairis Briedis and Murat Gassiew, winning all four world titles.
It is his current heavyweight streak that has made Usyk a global superstar, defeating Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois twice to become the undisputed heavyweight champion twice.
As a result, the undefeated 39-year-old has established himself as the preeminent heavyweight of his generation, and Haye answered the question of whether Usyk could have performed similarly in stronger times like the 1990s. Boxing Scene that in his opinion the Ukrainian would “find a way”.
– Usyk, put them in there with [Evander] Holyfield, [Mike] Tyson and Lennox [Lewis]would hang out with the best of them.”
“He would find a way. He consistently showed that he beat every guy in and around his era. It’s difficult not to be a fan of someone who did that.”
“It would be the same as beating Tyson Fury, Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko or anyone else.”
On Saturday evening, Usyk will face Dutch kickboxer Rico Verhoeven beneath the pyramids of Giza in Egypt, in a fight that may do more for his fame than his legacy.

Richard Torrez Jr. says Saturday’s fight with Frank Sanchez is the moment people either stop doubting him or learn he’s among the heavyweight contenders after other fighters reportedly lost the fight.

I want to put it to the test. I’m not here to fight straightforward fights. I’m here to make things happen. And that’s what we’re going to do on Saturday night,” Torrez Jr. said. professional boxing fans.
“Saturday is the time to either give up or shut up from everyone. Either we prove everyone is right, or we prove everyone is right. Whichever side wins.”
