By Frank Bay: It was a decent boxing weekend. There are no substantial names, but many fights from around the world to keep boxing fans from traditionally the largest weekend of the year, Cinco de Mayo.

When the size matters

Richard Torrez Jr. It is an average hefty weight. I learned this from his somewhat ugly fight with Guido Vianelllo. Thanks to the appropriate match, Torrez can end up with the E -Mail belt, if the highest rank can lead him for the next year and wait on older labels of Usyk, Johsua and Fury.

I base this analysis of my barometer, how to assess a warrior. What should happen if Torrez were a crop cream? He should have passed through a margin, such as Vianelllo like a warm knife through butter.

When the warrior is highly advertised, this is what fans expect. But when we see the fight for the perspective, red flags are raised. I understand this process, but the assessment is only common sense that if Torrez is struggling with Fighter C, when he approaches warrior B, it will only be much more tough.

Vianello is not a walk of cake, but he is not near the talent that the best pretenders are at the moment like Joseph Parker or Agit Kabayel. The best rank will have to force Torrez as with his child Anderson after he faced the former master Martin.

Torrez would have suffered the same fate as Jared Anderson if he decided to ignore the council of the highest ranks and fight a guy like Martin Bakole. It seems that Torrez has sufficient self -awareness to understand his talent and take advantage of the highest rank council.

Grades-

In addition to the obvious, the diminutive height and weight of the torrez is very awkward. Torrez’s biggest strike is that he lacks fluidity. His constant throwing and telegraing the blows will eventually make him flatten. He still fights at an amateur pace.

He is still reflecting and maybe he is doing something that can be called Feint, but his lack of dexterity makes him look like a loo guy. Only his head does not move, so he makes him look only like a boy from the 8th grade who tries to dance during his first dance. Simply put, it looks ugly.

Torrez will have to learn how to move around the ring easily and grace to set blows. Even I saw his blows coming. A positive is that Torrez is a strenuous warrior. He showed his heart and chin against a much larger man. He fought throughout the hugging of Vianelllo and was able to wipe him several times.

I would give Torrez Stamina C-. He will have to find a way to improve this because he seemed drastically to disappear. I realize that a significant part of this is due to that it was burdened by much larger men, the tactic used by Lennox Lewis and Fury, but I think that the beginning is to avoid all throwing as much as possible.

The last good thing I saw in Torrez is that he has a decent pop and fans love him. It seems that he likes to issue a program and loves to interact with fans. My last opinion is that if I were Torrez, I would consider getting the highest level coach who works with weight. Torrez is trained by his father, but I have not seen an ounce of improvement during the year of watching him.

The modern coach could aid Torrez learn to set up the impacts easily. Now for the most crucial rating: observation. Torrez is B-. Torrez will throw blows and will be there to be hit, which makes him amiable to fans. It should be fun, watching him go further.

When reality meets the noise

Abdullah Mason was also seriously exaggerated on the card. And if I learned something from Torrez’s struggle, I did not learn anything from the amazing Mason’s birthday victory (put sarcasm into a roll of eye).

I am sorry, but it is painfully obvious that the highest ranking was placed in the Straitjacket vest in fear, which he suffered when he was almost decisive by Yohan Vasquez two fights ago. Even an undered, free boxing observer saw that Mason was 3 times larger than Ornela.

Something that ESPN announces the team casually overlooked: Mason looked like an average weight that was fully hydrated after the fight. How do we know that, are you asking? At the beginning I noticed that Mason was extremely dehydrated and he lacks hitting.

These are signs of a warrior killing to earn weight. I surprised, Tim Bradley also moved that Mason was not noticeably not his ordinary me during the first few rounds. Another painfully obvious thing that ARnelas was casually shiny, is a 126-pound career.

ESPN/Top Rank must do something with Tim Bradley’s glazing for Kryliczanie for his guys. I understand that he is a good friend with Keyshawn Davis and Mason in front of the ring, but it is crazy that we should pretend to be an objective observer when he is baking and Hollers, when Mason lands in a slightly decent blow. This would be accepted if Bradley was straightforward that Ornelas was a warrior approaching two weight classes, so that the Freemason would look like Mini-Mice Tyson.

Grades-

There is no one in this fight because he was similar to a soldier who looks like a commando in a simulation, unlike live real forehead. Does he do good things in the ring? Sure, but I can look like Sugar Ray Leonard on a training bag. Of course, Mason has all the athletic gifts, but this is boxing, not a triathlon.

Mason chin will be his fall when and if he fights with a living dog. I just don’t want to buy a lot of stocks in it now. Mason gets B for viewership. It seems that he is ready to mix it and not be elated with running and holding like his counterpart, Shakur Stevenson.

Chop Chop or a slope?

Another noteworthy perspective on the card coming out of RGBA (coach Robert Garcii’s Gym) was a warrior who Chop-Chop Gonzalez. Gonzalez has an operating story. Fights Chop Fighting in 126 is a good perspective, but has been tested. He fought with a pretender, who seriously challenged him.

Chop Chop looked good but not great. The ESPN announcement team had him closer than me. I felt that Chop-Chop did a great job on the body, which Bradley and Company. The frustrating aspect of observing and listening to Bradley is how, of course, he is biased during commenting. He influenced the viewers that Coolwell perhaps won the fight.

The blow plays a role when his obvious Chop was in a real fight. Coolwell made Bruce Carrington a distance. Where Bradley is too critical of Chop-Chop entering the class, he, in turn, has a festival for Mason, which will face a real training bag. While Mason fought with a guy 3 times smaller, Chop-Chop fought a guy much bigger than him.

Rate

I have to give him C+. He got a decisive win in a more tough match. Body work, but the defense gets Chop Chop is very muscular for these smaller weight classes. And like Torrez, he gives a lack of dexterity, making him a sedentary target.

It seems that he is trying to give angles like Bam Rodriguez, but it just looks awkward because there is no fluidity of bam. There are no feet to download it. Chop-Chop has power B-. The balls sound strenuous, but I didn’t see Coolwell too worried.

At 126, the top of the class, such as espinosis and fulton, can take and wash it. Going forward, Chop-Chop will have to work on a stiff stab and become better in motion and movement of the head. Chop-Chop loves to charge and sit down a bit too much.

We know this because Coolwell was also able to see how he was coming. Coolwell became better when Chop-Chop was loading and descended. The most crucial rank would be reasonable to slowly bring Chop-Chop.

A better Mover than Coolwell would be perhaps defeating Gonzalez. Nevertheless, he passed the test and has some talent, but he needs a little more spices. He receives observation. Chop-Chop is a TV. When he appears in the classroom, the wars will soon come.

Australia fans forgive

And finally Timmy Tsyzu. It was impressive to see the crowd and emotions in the ground near Tisz, but it ends there. I am a fan of Tsiza, I supported him against Jermell Charlo for the undisputed, but my changing times.

My only thought watching this fight on the best film was Geez, I feel sorry for Australian fans who were accused of PPV for this garbage. Tsyzyu hit the Spencer training purse. But when it comes to Tzsyu, apparently does not look like the same skilled warrior in Uber, which he once was.

It looks weaker in terms of boxing skills, i.e. reflexes and power, but mentally I felt that I literally saw a man trying to find himself last night. At the moment I could not favor Timmy against any of the 154 pounds.

It is a protected plant that Tyu challenges Keith Thurman for good money. Even this fight is not a certain plant for Timmy. There is no reconnaissance report because I did not feel that Spencer was nothing but a wiper. If I didn’t know better, I would say that Joey came to lie down. You don’t have to say that Tim Tziu is mandatory. There will be blood in Timmy’s fight!

Delgado loses in the win

I don’t want to talk much about Lindolfo vs Elvis because there was nothing to talk about. If the faces were used to assess the fight, it was clear that Lindolfo won. Delgado made Elvis’s face look like a hamburger meat at the end of the fight.

Some fans are crying about robbery, but as I see it, if you followed Elvis’s career, you know he is his worst enemy. Elvis is fine, passively going, moving and elated to do nothing.

Delgado is not much better and is known that there is no sense of consciousness when it comes to fighting. After a frustrating round, there is no sense of urgency. Delgado gets a plus for independent performance. I don’t see him to become a master with such performances. If I didn’t know better, I would think that Delgado has a gas tank fears.

Other

Take-out pros of night- praise for judge Marek Taylor for punishing excessive towing. We need more in boxing. Greetings to Australians for showing crazy recognition to their man’s luck. Hats from hats for a good crowd in Las Vegas for Torrez.

Fans showed a lot of love for Torrez and Keyshawn Davis. Gigantic Shot Out To Pro Box TV for the Salas presentation, which destroyed his man Cruz on Saturday evening. Finally, from the sides B, Vianelllo and Coolwell there was a good show. We’ll see them again.

It didn’t bother watching Joyce vs. Hrgovic or Janibek in Herfuster, who cares for the fights in which I knew what the results would be before. Finally, congratulations to Madwor Mexico Moran, who was upset by American Myquan Williams. Willaims, believing that he fought in a bag, tried to escape and keep his way to victory in the last round. I love it when this strategy is based on fighters!

Former Heavyweight Champion Makes Comeback at 53, Ready to Face Any Challenge After Defeating Lennox Lewis

"Former Heavyweight Champion Makes Comeback at 53, Ready to Face Any Challenge After Defeating Lennox Lewis"

Hasim Rahman is willing to compete with the world’s top operators as he bids to break George Foreman’s record and become the oldest heavyweight champion in history.

Should he succeed in doing so, the 53-year-old would also trump the record of Bernard Hopkins, who was 49 when he reigned as boxing’s oldest-ever world champion.

Before attempting to tackle this challenge, though, Rahman must first end over 12 years of inactivity and complete his comeback assignment on September 24.

Standing in the opposite corner will be Phillip Triantafillo, who, with a record of 4-4, is certainly no world-beater and would be the first to admit his limitations.

Nevertheless, he is the man tasked with scuppering Rahman’s title ambitions in Indiana, where both men have agreed to collide in a scheduled six-round contest.

In his last professional outing, Rahman lost a three-round unanimous decision to little-known Australian Anthony Nansen and, prior to that, was stopped in two rounds by Alexander Povetkin.

As he looks to eventually secure a world title shot, however, the American has told Abrams Boxing that he is prepared to face any heavyweight in the sport.

“Any time I can make history I’m interested in doing it. It don’t really matter who’s on the other side [of the ring]. It could be any heavyweight in the world – any of them. I feel like I’m capable of getting in there with anybody in the world.

I’m punching like a 25-year-old and out working young guys in the gym. I’m ready for whatever and whoever, this is just step one.”

Known for his almighty upset victory over Lennox Lewiswho he stopped in five rounds before suffering a fourth-round stoppage defeat in their immediate rematchRahman went on to cement his legacy as a two-time world champion.

Reality Check for Hamzah Sheeraz: Why Turki is Overpriced

Published

on

"Reality Check for Hamzah Sheeraz: Why Turki is Overpriced"

Hamzah Sheeraz has become the first solid example of what happens when a fighter paid far beyond his traditional market value is eventually forced back into boxing’s normal pay structure.

The Briton has voluntarily relinquished his coveted WBO super middleweight title rather than face mandatory challenger Janibek Alimkhanuly after Queensberry Promotions won the purse bid with an offer of $1,001,809.

Under the WBO’s 75-25 split, Sheeraz would have received $751,356.75. That figure is considerably below the money he has become accustomed to earning since his association with Saudi powerbroker Turki Alalshikh.

Sheeraz has earned seven-figure purses while appearing on Riyadh Season events. His payday for defeating Edgar Berlanga was widely reported to have been around $5 million, many times greater than the $751,356.75 now available to face Janibek.

Now the old boxing market has delivered its verdict after Sheeraz walked away from his stipulated test.

Promoter Warren was clear about the purse available to his fighter after Queensberry secured home advantage for the proposed Janibek fight.

“It’s 75/25, he gets $750K! Why wouldn’t he have this fight? That’s the market value, we’ve secured him home advantage, so get on with the fight,” Warren told IFL TV before Sheeraz relinquished the belt.

The Turki Effect

Alalshikh’s enormous investment in boxing has created purses that traditional promoters would struggle to match for the same fights.

Sheeraz may now be the clearest example of the consequences when that money is no longer available.

There is nothing wrong with a fighter taking the biggest purse available. Few would turn down millions of dollars when somebody is willing to pay it.

The problem comes when that money disappears.

Sheeraz has gone from earning a far bigger purse against Berlanga to being offered three-quarters of a million dollars for one of the most dangerous opponents of his career.

Former WBN Lead Writer Dan Rafael summed up the difference when responding to the suggestion that Sheeraz was being asked to take short money.

“It’s not short money. It’s the actual market assessing his value.”

That is the curse of becoming a Turki ambassador. Once a fighter has operated inside a financial system capable of paying considerably more than the traditional market, returning to conventional boxing economics becomes considerably more difficult.

The Canelo Payday

There could also be a considerable sporting cost to Sheeraz’s decision. The Briton has made no secret of his desire to face Canelo Alvarez, who challenges WBC champion Christian Mbilli on October 31 as the Mexican attempts to regain one of his former super middleweight titles.

Sheeraz holding the WBO title could have given him something Canelo may want if the Mexican defeats Mbilli and decides to rebuild his former undisputed collection. Walking away from the belt removes that potential bargaining chip at precisely the wrong time.

The 27-year-old may therefore have rejected $750,000 against Janibek while simultaneously weakening his position in the pursuit of the considerably greater payday he really wants.

Sheeraz Could Join Zuffa

The situation becomes even more interesting because Sheeraz is approaching the end of his long relationship with Warren.

Sheeraz confirmed last month that he has only one fight remaining on his Queensberry contract and intends to examine his options before deciding where his career continues.

Unless an extension is signed, the ex-WBO ruler could therefore enter free agency after his next appearance.

Zuffa Boxing would immediately become one of the obvious destinations. Sheeraz has already confirmed that joining the promotion is an option he intends to explore when he becomes available.

The financial expectations built during Sheeraz’s rise as one of Alalshikh’s chosen fighters have now collided with Warren’s assessment of what the traditional market will pay.

Sheeraz chose not to accept it.

His next contract may tell boxing whether the traditional market can afford to get him back.
