Promoter Eddie Hearn wants to position Austin ‘Ammo “Williams to the title shot in medium weight, but he must win his headliner against Patrice Volny on Saturday, March 15. Williams (17-1, 12 Kos) and Volny (19-1, 13 KO) meet at the 12-round main event at Caribe Royale, Orlando, Florida. The event will be shown live in Dazn.

Hearn blames some of Williams’ past, less impressive performances that do not have perfect preparation. He was “indifferent” in the camp and is not fully “mentally” ready. Last year his defeat because of Hamzah Sheeraz last year may be what Hearn is talking about. In this fight, ammunition wounded early, but it was not possible to kill. Losing with work, such as Sheeraz, was disappointing because it was a very winning fight if the ammunition laid his foot on the accelerator.
Hearna’s vision
35 -year -old Volny can hit and knocked out his last three opponents. If Williams cannot pull him out of it, he could be exposed to stopping for the second time. This, of course, would spoil Hearna’s plans to get him the title, and maybe he will have to think about his career goals for him.
“Amunia’s problems in the past were not that he was not good enough, it was because its preparation was not good enough. Sometimes he wasn’t 100%mentally. Sometimes his camps were a little indifferent, “said Eddie Hearn Boxing DAZNSpeaking of the fight of Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams with Patrice Volny on Saturday evening in Orlando, Florida.
28-year-old Williams lost only once in his six-year career, but he did not face any killers except Sheeraz, who is deeply defective. The remaining 17 guys with whom the ammunition fought were not names that most fans have never heard of.
“This is one of the first times in which he had a robust, decent camp. It’s a tough fight. Volny is a gigantic guy and is a stern medium weight – said Hearn. “He is a good warrior. The history of Williams’s ammunition is quite amazing. I look back at his professional debut, and he was the youthful, stimulating child. Then you go through the list wherever he is in the box and everything he did. “
Threat of Volny
Volny is a real gigantic guy. Standing next to the ammunition, he looked like a super average weight. It is tough to believe that he will bring weight tomorrow because it looks enormous. Williams seemed brief and catchy next to him.
“The fact that he is still here after all the problems and problems he had, but you have to count it,” said Hearn about Ammo. “Stories are frigid, but if you overcome, there is only as much as you can do with history. When you compare people with ammunition, it is a riding on a mountain queue. Let’s not twist him, thinking that you can lose. It’s never good, but you can definitely come back from it. “
There is only as much as a promoter can do by building a warrior, telling his life story. These things do not work with fans if the warrior does not win. They do not care what the warrior has gone through his life to get where they are. If they don’t win, fans will not bother with paying attention.
The fight must win
“The reality is that in this sport, if you are not good enough, you will not win. That’s all. If you are not good enough, you can look in a mirror. As long as you have done everything, you can go again – said Hearn.
“You have many high -quality fighters, but you have many fighters who do not have huge profiles that are looking for opportunities against good names in stimulating fighting,” Hearn said when Austin Williams in medium weight was asked if he wins on Saturday against Volny.
“You have a WBO master [Janibek Alimkhanuly]. I think that at some point he intends to get up [to 168]. You just saw [WBC champ] Carlos Adames defeated Hamzah Sheeraz. He is a good warrior, but I wasn’t blown up by him. Then you have [WBA champion Erislandy] Lara. He is a great warrior, but goes on [41 years old].
“Listen, we want to throw the cube of the world -high -weight world championship with Williams ammunition, but he has to win on Saturday,” said Hearn.
Manager Vasily Lomachenko, Egis Klimas, says Loma is the best fight for Gervont Davis in the lithe division “If”, he returns. He says that the match between Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KO) and Tank Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO) would be “more fascinating for fans” than other guys aged 135. He healed the fight against Tank since 2018 without happiness.
“A real king”
Lomachenko can strengthen his heritage if he returns this year and defeats Tank Davis. It would be the perfect fight to take Loma before retiring, because it would cause his career.
Real record
Most agree that he should still be invincible, because his losses in Orlando Salido, Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney were very doubtful. In fact, Lomachenko is 21-0 Now the real king of the lithe division.
Klimas says that he sees the lithe champion of WBC Shakur Stevenson is a warrior who rises and “escapes”. Financially and in terms of entertainment is not so attractive to the former world champion in three resolutions of Lomachenko. Fans would be uninteresting if Shakur was running around the ring, trying to win a point decision.
Lomachenko has not fought from May 12 last year, when he knocked out the former unification of the lithe master George Cambosos Jr. In the eleventh round to win the free IBF 135-LB title in Perth, Australia. After this fight, Loma had the opportunity to fight Tank last year, but he did not.
“Everyone thinks Loma is ready and is not of it. Everyone wants to fight Loma. I think it’s good because if Loma returns, it would be a very good fight [Gervonta] Davis – said Egis Klimas manager Sports media YSM Oh, that Vasily Lomachenko is seen as confused now when she is getting aged and was inactive.
Lomachenko looked better than ever in his last fight with Cambosos. It was a well -equipped Loma fighting with a real lightweight weight instead of cooked welterweight, just like Devin Haney looked in his fight with him in 2023. As good as Loma looked in this fight, he would beat Tank Davis if they fought.
Best fight
“What is Shakur and what is a tank?” Klimas said when it was asked which better fight for Lomachenko between Shakur Stevenson and Tank Davis. “Skills and financial,” said Egis, seeing Gervont as a more qualified and better fight for money for Lomachenko.
“He is [Tank] A much better warrior in my way and the upcoming warrior. I’m not going to take anything from Shakur. He is a good warrior, but he is a bumper. He enters the shell and runs away. The tank comes to fight. This is a more fascinating fight. This is a more intriguing fight.
“This makes it more fascinating. This makes it more fascinating for fans, “Klimas said when he said that Tank Davis is a more” risky “fight for Lomachenko. “At the moment Lomachenko is the best opponent of the fight against Tank.”
Shakur Stevenson says that he believed that Terenka Crawford had a style to beat Canelo Alvarez, even before Dmitry Bivol did it a few years ago. Stevenson says he watched Crawford hurt bulky scales, and he doesn’t believe that Canelo could move forward against him with power.
Stevenson says that he began to believe that Crawford defeated Canelo in 2021 when he fought the welterweight Shakur Porter. He felt that the then 34-year-old porter was a good indicator of predicting Crawford’s performance from three divisions above 168.
Loyalty vs. logic
37 -year -old Crawford will challenge Canelo for his lanes in 168 September 13. Despite two divisions, Shakur does not consider it a problem. He says he believed that Crawford was the best warrior in Super Middle Wweight for many years.
The WBC Lightweight Stevenson champion said that it would not matter that Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) moves two divisions from 154 to 168 to challenge Unified Champion Canelo (62-2-2, 38 KO).
“I have been pretending to be Shawn Porter since Crawford [2021 at welterweight]. I said that Terenka Crawford would defeat Canelo Alvarez as soon as he fought [34-year-old] Shawn Porter – said Shakur Stevenson Ring magazinerevealing that four years ago he predicted that Terenka Crawford defeated Canelo.
It is reasonable to assume that Shakur’s views on the fight of Canelo-Crawford are influenced by his close friendship with Buda and his loyalty to him. This is a natural thing. Of course, he wants Crawford to get him the opportunity without earning it as they must.
Massive weight claim
“I felt in this weight class [168]Terenka Crawford is the greatest, “Shakur said about how he felt that Crawford was the best in Super Middle Wweight, never fighting there. “I just feel it in the style of Canelo and it is before [Dmitry] Bivol did it. I felt that Terenka Crawford was the only guy who could beat Canelo with his style.
“I said it even before Bud said it. Bud is southern. This is Southpaw hinders Canelo, “Shakur continued to praise Crawford. “He has problems with them after I watched him fight John Ryd. He wasn’t that good. Canelo just fought Southpaw.
“How does Canelo deal with bud power? When Bud hits him, will he just go forward and just take a blow? I just don’t know. I saw heavyweight, Shakur said.
If Shakur thinks Crawford was the best warrior at the age of 168, why did he not move to test? He could do it years ago and earned a lot more money than in welterweight. The only fight Massive Money Crawford in 147 is Errol Spence. If he could overcome all years of super medium weight, as Shakur keeps, why didn’t he do it?
Crawford could not hurt Israil Madrimova with his blows in his last fight at the age of 154 and is not close to being bulky. If he had power to hurt heavyweight, he should show it against Madrimov.
WBO Master of Pentecost, Rafael “El Divino” Espinoza (26-0, 22 KO), will defend against Edward Vazquez (17-2, 4 Kos) on the Nayya Inoue vs. card Ramon Cardenas on Sunday, May 4 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Vazquez has two narrow defeats in the fighting, which he approached winning with Raymond Ford and Joe Cordina. Many Vazquez fans defeated Cordina in the fight on November 4, 2023 in Monte Carlo, but the judges believed that the British warrior had done enough.
Espinosis vs. Vazquez is a good enough fight to be the main event on this card, because it is more competitive on paper than Headliner Inoue-Cardenas. This is a mismatch.
The advantage of Rafael
Espinosis 6’1 ″ descends from the sixth round of arrest the injury of the former WBO champion of 126-pound Robeisa Ramirez on December 7 last year. This was the second win of Espinosis with two -time gold Olympic medalist Robeisia and a signal that it is simply too good for Cuban talent.
Vazquez, 5’7 ″, he will have to come up with a way to deal with the height of a stork -like espinosis, because it will be bombed if he is not able to find a strategy. His lack of impact strength will make it harder because he would need to beat a much higher master. It is not that espinosis uses its height to fight outside.
What makes him so tough is his long arms and the way his loops are shot, which makes it tough to see them. Espinosis also has a high work rate, which causes even greater difficulties. However, he can be wounded, as we saw in his first fight with Robeis, when he was dropped slow in the fifth round. He was saved from knocking out the round ending.
“Rafael Espinosis is a high featherweight with power and skills to be the world champion for many years, and we are glad that we can present him on such a significant weekend for Mexican boxing,” said Bob Arum promoter, “Edward Vazquez is a tough, determined claimant who knows that he is his shot. Fans at the T-Mobile Arena are waiting for pleasure, because espinosis divides the spotlight lightweight with the incomparable Nayy Inoue on this historic Cinco de Mayo card. “
