Sometimes we need to remind you why we like boxing so much. When we return home from the arena after a great fight, but we are not able to sleep because of the drama we witnessed. It was one of those nights in Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater on Saturday, when Aussie George Cambosos Jnr opposed the opportunities and won the world delicate title, beating the very favorite Teofimo Lopez with a divided decision. Lopez, who constantly uses the party line “takeover” in the description of his career, not only lost the championship, but lost his position among the best fighters in sport.
Teofimo bitterly complained about the decision that he won 10 out of 12 rounds, a claim so absurd that he did not deserve an answer. The actions of Teofimo Lopez Snr, who serves his son as the main trainer, were also doubtful. Instead of being with junior in the moments before the fight, the senior was in the ring, calling on the crowd. What’s more, an hour earlier, he was seen outside the place, a meeting and welcoming fans.
Lopez, from Las Vegas, but fighting with Brooklyn (from where he was before), he fired in the opening round, trying to make him predict his knockout in the first round. But as fatal as his blows looked like, few passed. Cambosos moved wisely and curled up with the blows, and then began to fire. 15 seconds remained in the round Cambosos that it sensationally supplied the right hand shock, firmly dropping Lopez. Lopez got up quickly, but he had to be shocked by the sequence of events.
The support of the crowd took place with Lopez through the second and third rounds, but a bit quit in the fourth, when Cambosos took control. He effectively enlisted from stab and stopped Lopez’s shoot, meeting him in the middle ring. This is not intimidated, Cambosos chose his places, going to his fingers, trying a knockout.

Lopez’s left eye was cut out of the fourth round. When the competition moved to his face injuries, he became more clear. The improvement of the injury was a mocking mocking from Cambosos. The pretender’s fights had joy. And why not? He made a huge advantage for seven rounds. Cambosos’ body language also told this story. But Lopez increased in eighth place. His body attack was effective. At that time, in the ninth Cambosos, he temporarily seemed to be somewhat, but he fought with trouble.
It seemed that Cambosos was solved at 10. that his heritage would take place a pretender for the game, who fought above expectations before the reality appeared. Lopez, it seemed that he intended to do what he and the opponents predicted. A couple of rights ached by Australian and fell. Cambosos got up, crossed the ring, trying to shake off the effect of blows. There is a lot of time left in the round. Judge Harvey Dock looked like he was thinking about stopping. But Cambosos showed no additional signs of anxiety. Lopez’s attacks slowed down and his chance disappeared.
Cambosos dominated 11 .. Medics checked Lopez’s cuts and bruises, which made him look much worse than his opponent, who had blood from his left eye. 12 was close. Two judges won him for Lopez, but Cambosos was more effective in thwarting what came back.
Boxing news He had 114-112 for Cambosos, which was the result of a consensus in the media section in the ring.
Glen Feldman and Frank Lombardi Judges had 115-112 and 115-111 for Cambosos, respectively. Don Trella did not agree, winning 114-113 Lopez. Both Feldman and Trella won only the first round of 10-9 Cambosos, apparently feeling that Lopez had a clear advantage until they were dropped at the end.
Lopez, who is only 24 years elderly, can come again if he learns about ample lessons offers here. But his place in the order of pecking decreases. Why would Devin Haney still constantly challenge him after this loss? And not Vasiliy Lomachenko Now it is believed that he is more attractive with Cambosos, the world champion than he would be able to revenge Lopez? Whether we see Teofimo at a delicate point again is another point to consider.
28 -year -old Cambosos had a great night and fought with a great fight. He says that he will continue to mow straight through a delicate, delicate ward. You should deal with it. You rarely see a warrior with such robust faith in yourself as Cambosos. And it was the same faith, more than his ring knowledge, which played the greatest role in his victory.
Japanese Kenichi Ogawa enters the ratings in the weight of the Super-Feather after conquering the unanimous 12 round over the South African Azing Fuzile. Judges John McKaie and Robin Taylor had it 115-110, Steve Weisfeld 114-111. Bn He had it 116-109 for the fire. Ron Lipton was about the free IBF belt.
The turning point took place in the fifth round when the law dropped Fuzile. After this, the fire was emboldened and aggressively tried to perform for the rest of the road.
At the right eye, the ninth of Fuzile and nose were bleeding, and the fight disappeared. He could no longer afford to locate and counteract. He paid the price in the middle of the 12th, when the law forced him to leave. Then, with the remaining seconds, for the third time it was dropped in the match, the bell saved him from failure at a distance of the distance.
Ramla Ali from Greenwich is impressed, winning the fourth place in so many starts against Twardy California, Isaiah Vera. Ali was initially a bit restless, but then she began to combine her strokes, showing nice leg work. Judges John Basile, Kevin Morgan and Waleska Roldan scored four round 40-36 for Ali. Lipton.
Verdict Do not listen to Lopez, the victory of Cambosos was richly deserved.
Reduction of 15-order After the death of Deuk Koo Kim during the fight with Ray Mancini in 1983, WBC issued a principle that stated that the maximum distance for the fight for the championship would be 12 rounds.
I weigh at least 24 hours earlier Due to the fears of weakening of the boxers due to the weight production process, and then the fight on the same day as the indicator, the day before the introduction of defects.
Intermediate weight classes Sport once had only eight classes, but now it has 17 (well, 18, if you include the producing weight). WBC introduced several novel divisions, recently in weight, super-medium weight and circuitous weight.
Gloves without your thumbs In 1983, Everlast created the first thumb glove and was accepted by WBC due to fears related to eye injuries associated with the “thumb”. Today, the thumb is attached.
Doping tests WBC were one of the first to enforce doping tests after the fight, and in 2016 introduced their immaculate boxing program, which required the fighters to want to be classified to register in random tests.
Retired Masters who retire, still having the title of WBC, are usually awarded with the status of a “retired”, which means that if they return, they will automatically get a shot to the current master. Vitali Klitschko [above] He started it in 2008, when he returned to defeat Samuel Piotr.
Four ropes It often happened that boxing rings have only three ropes, but WBC made it obligatory for all rings to put up the championships that consist of four.
Diamond Championships A bit nonsense championship that appears in the “historical” battle in the division. Manny Pacquiao won the first welterweight division when he defeated Miguel Cotto in 2009.
WBC Cares The organization performs a significant charity work with WBC Cares, which since founded in 2006 has over 160 volunteers around the world (their British branch is managed by Scott Welch).
Franchise championship The franchise championships, which were introduced with great mockery in 2019, are different than diamond, silver, transient titles and allows masters to move between divisions, ignoring mandatory obligations and doing almost what they like. Probably it’s best not to start with this …

Blackheath-Urocza, a wealthy, relatively deciduous part of the south-eastern London-does not have obvious boxing ties. From sport, he is best known as a starting point in the London marathon and for the apartment of the world’s oldest open rugby club. But return 60 to 90 years, and the surrounding area had a prosperous boxing gym, popular among the best characters of this sport.
The green man was a pub on Blackheath Hill with boxeria above him. He shot in importance as a boxing plant in 1937, when two world warriors, Great Britain Tommy Farr And America Petey Sarron decided to train there. The British weighty title Farr was preparing for Showdown on April 15 with Max Baer, who would ultimately lead him to a heavyweight title defining the career with Joe Louis four months later. The prevailing champion of the world featherweight, Sarron, was preparing to fight with the same Survivist-first in this country-a former British Lightweight King Harry Mizler.
At the beginning of April Boxing news The columnist “The Watcher” visited Green Man Gym, and then using the boxing manager Walter Daya and the seriously striking seafarer Jim Lawlor to see Train Farr and Sarron. The banner above the door proclaiming “Tommy Farr and Petey Sarron Tround here” told him that he was in the right place. However, he arrived too overdue to see how the warriors were working and said that Farr was changing after his session.
“Tommy welcomed me warmly when I regretted that I was too overdue. Jim Lawlor was at hand and he welcomed me a lot, invited me to a cup of tea, and I was very worried about showing me. The wardrobe was equipped with a shower bath, rubbing the table and everything. Large windows overlooked Blackheath and said that here was the perfect place to prepare here. to the competition, because such a wonderful open space – and it could be high – and it could be up – and it could be up.
“Tommy finished the dressing, and then I was taken over to junior high school. A full -size and properly staged ring was erected in a roomy and well -lit room, while ordinary amenities necessary for training had a desire for training. The place was vast enough to issue the program, and Lawlor told me that they introduced several amateur shows.
“The presence of Tommy Farr and Petey Sarron will undoubtedly bring them a lot of publicity and recommendations, because in addition to the fact that the British champion was very enthusiastically focused on it, later I learned from Jimmy Erwin, the world champion manager that he was looking at all training exercises in the south of England, not finding a place that suited him better.”
In 1939, Jock McAVoy trained at Green Man-Swoim with his first training in London-his last fight with Len Harvey’s rival, in a program that set a attendance record in Great Britain over 90,000. Seventeen years later the Green Man’s gym was still busy when Dick Richardson prepared for his clash of December 1956 Nino Valdes.
In the 1960s, the pub became a popular place of music where Paul Simon, Manfred Mann, Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott performed. In 1963, 16-year-old David Bowie played there with his first professional band The Konrads. At this memorable concert of Bowie, until then, the saxophonist entered as the main singer, when the band’s frontman cut his foot on a broken glass in the cloakroom in a pub. Then Bowie took the position of the singer. Unfortunately, for sentimental fans of boxing or music, in 1970 a green man was demolished. Today, there is an indefinite block of flats in its place.
Marco Antonio Barrera in MD 12 Erik Morales November 27, 2004; MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV Mexican warriors Barrera and Morales ended their epic trilogy in a properly urgent style, creating another unforgettable war. Entering in the start, in the case of the Super Feather WBC Morales belt, the series stood with one winner per item. Morales won the initial meeting in Super-Bantam in 2000, and Barrera secured the creation of a rematch in 2002 in a featherweight-the decisions were questioned. Accordingly, the verdict in the rubber match also caused a debate. As in the previous two meetings, bitter enemies got involved in a furious fight, and the electrifying 11 round turned out to be particularly cruel. Ultimately, Barrera went to the top and adapted Morales’s achievement, becoming the three world letter.
Do you know? At that time, WBO Feather Highland Scott Harrison was interested in an observer in Ringside. He hoped to catch the winner.
Watch out for: In the middle of nine, the fighters are involved in the clinch, and Barrera is bursting morale at the back of the head with a legal apparatus. Uninvited by his opponent, Morales refuses to touch Barrera gloves when the judge was asked.
