Foreign hello boxing fans around the world time for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today, featuring all the headlines from around the world.
Well, as many as I could gather after uh reading, through as many articles as I possibly could so that you don’t have to let’s start off with what’s happening with Devin Haney uh, it might be a situation where he’s looking for a bit of attention or to Sell tickets but nonetheless uh he is now training with erdembatar.
Yes, that’s one of his sparring partners for his next fight scheduled for May 20th, you’re not going to believe it.
But this is the same fella, who was apparently the mole in Ryan Garcia’s Camp, Who provided information to jovantes, javonta Davis stamp Camp about uh, and also about the injury that he put on Ryan Garcia during that training camp.
So nonetheless, there’s Devin Haney hiring a new smart partner.
I’Ve done about our let’s move along quickly because I’m sure that’s just a play for more publicity, because, according to Jim calfa Over boxing news24.
com he’s saying, Devin Haney is unhappy about vasilia lomachenko, not helping himself their May 20th fight uh forcing him to do all the Work himself to attract interest in their title, Clash, which is yeah, as you know, being held at the MGM Grand Garden arena in Las Vegas.
If the 35 year old Loma has chosen not to wear himself up marketing and fight, it’s understandable, apparently he’s coming off a lackluster performance.
According to this writer, in a contest he came close to losing against Jermaine Ortiz last October, over New York.
Lomas fans blame that effort, partly on him returning from serving time in the Russian Ukrainian war, and some of that performance could also be attributed to the age of Loma is now closing on 40, I guess and the fact that Lomo was fighting a guy.
That should be competing at 140.
Pounds Ortiz by the way is huge for the 135 pound Division and he badly outsized lomachenko.
It’S gon na get worse for lomachangulo next month, because Haney is even bigger than Janine Ortiz much bigger, watching Haney work out.
It’S clear.
He should be competing in the welt weight division against guys, similar size him like Errol, Spence, Junior Geron, Ennis and Terence Crawford, some big names that we’ve talked about quite often here on talk and fight.
Now, let’s have a look here: flomachenko were to wear himself out trying to Market his ESPN Pay-Per-View fight against Haiti.
He’D have no chance of winning.
It would have been better if top rank hadn’t put the handy, lomachenko fight on pay-per-view, because the two could focus on training the 24 year old Haney is young enough to single-handedly promote his fight with lomachenko without wearing it out uh.
What could give Haney a problem? Is draining down from 160 to 135 to make weight wowza, taking all that water weight would be torture for Devin and it could weaken him in the fight making him vulnerable in the championship rounds.
This wouldn’t be an issue if Haney were campaigning at welterweight, because he needed only to drain down from a 160 to 147 to make weight.
Uh said: hey, Loma doesn’t want to sell a fight, I knew he’d be quiet, he should be quiet.
Stay quiet he’s on his way out goodbye uh.
I don’t care to watch any of the fights from the lightweight division.
Haney continued.
I don’t care to focus on them because they’ve got to go through me.
I hold the keys to the lightweight division.
So the author chimes in and says the reality is and he won’t be able to stay lightweight much longer, so, whatever keys he believes he holds they’re on loan.
He can’t continue to artificially stay in the 135 pound division for much longer.
If uh tank, Davis or Shakur Stevenson chose not to fight Haiti this year, he will likely need to move up to 140 or 147.
Whether he wants to or not, Shakira would gladly fight.
Haiti next, but the feelings don’t appear to be mutual and he hasn’t been showing the same interest in fighting him.
Stevenson is a bad matchup for Haney and he won’t beat him by jab and clenching, as he did in his wins over George camposis Jr uh Joseph and Harrogate lineras.
Everything runs for me.
He said I’m the one who puts structure into the lightweight division.
It was all email this and that one belt over here that belt over there said Haney when Devin Haney came.
He said it straight, so I’m the boss, I run the lightweight division.
You want something lightweight division.
You got ta, go through me all right, fair enough.
Let’S move along to Canelo Alvarez, see how he’s doing um Courtney Shawn Jones, one of my friends over at boxnews24.
com, he says John Ryder – can be, can be the one that finishes off Canelo Alvarez’s career this Saturday night when the two meet in Guadalajara Mexico, as Teddy Atlas points out, Canelo, who’s, 58, 2 and 2, with 39 Knockouts has shown a downward Trend in his last two fights against Triple Gennady kolovkin and Dimitri bival.
Those bouts showed that canel has aged and lost a significant portion of his game that won’t likely be brought back.
The reason many hardcore boxing fans will be purchasing the Canelo Rider fight on Saturday.
Uh is this: is they want to see if canelo’s downward Trend will continue or, if he’ll snap out of it, and find that Fountain of Youth he needs and guzzle the waters to rejuvenate his career Canal’s promoter, Eddie Hearn has been working hard doing damage control by Blaming his poor performances against Golovkin ambival on his left wrist injury, knowledgeable boxing fans, whoever aren’t buying that cheap excuse as canelo’s hand, injury, wasn’t the reason for gassing out and looking like an old geezer in his mid-50s too tired to pull the trigger sorry.
That was age wearing its ugly head with canel and the likely be there on Saturday night for Ryder who’s 32-5 by the way 18 Knockouts to take advantage of it.
Canelo versus Ryder will take place, as I said, at the estadio Akron Arena, Guadalajara, Mexico, where Alvarez will defend his Undisputed super middleweight championship against his WBO mandatory John Ryder as part of the Canelo writer fight the week down in Guadalajara Canal promotions, showcased two of their Young undefeated Americans prospects in the main events who prefer the weight.
Jonathan Lopez from Orlando Florida stopped as valdo Nunez from Aurelia in round number three Lopez drop Nunez in round two and got a referee stoppage at 101 of round three doing a nasty Cut Above the left eye suffered by Nunez.
Also super welterweight Lazaro lorenzana 11-0.
Eight Knockouts out of San Diego California won an eight-round Split Decision over Alexis Rios and he’s from uh zapopan in Jalisco, Mexico and the scores were 77 75 7775 Lorenzo 7973 for Rios.
But there you go a couple of uh scores and results elsewhere, he’s speaking of settling scores.
A judge has ordered Manny Pacquiao to pay more than five million dollars in his lawsuit against PSM Manny Pacquiao lost his lawsuit that a promotion company filed against him nearly two years ago.
Paradigm, sports management – that’s PSM, alleged in this 2021 lawsuit that Pacquiao breached a contract.
He had signed in 2020.
, they said Pacquiao committed to an exclusive two-fight agreement with the firm and argued that his company Advanced Pacquiao 3.
3 million and was working to set up a boat between the Philippine Legend and Mikey Garcia Pacquiao announced in February 2021 that he was Trading for a fight, and there were rumors he would face Garcia.
He then entered into an agreement to fight Errol Spence Jr, who had to withdraw due to an injury to remember.
Pacquiao ended up fighting and losing to eudenius zucas in August of 2021.
Pac-Man has not fought since Paradigm, which represents Conor McGregor who’s, also trying to set up a fight between the UFC star and Pacquiao in a response to paradigm’s lawsuit.
Pacquiao’S Lloyds argued that Paradigm failed to deliver on the promise of putting together a Pacquiao, McGregor bout Pacquiao.
Also said, PSM claimed to have eight endorsements deal lined up for the former Champion, but never delivered, but a California jury cited 9-3 with Paradigm.
A judge then ruled that Pacquiao must pay the management company.
The 3.
38 said Advance the 44 year old, plus 1.
8 million dollars.
In Damages for a total of 5.
1 million dollars in U.
S funds, Pacquiao is now a retired boxer, a free agent, I suppose, and following his loss to yugas, and he ended his career with a record of a 62 8 and 2 and 39 Knockouts and hope.
We’Ve not seen the end of that career by the way he’s a great fighter.
Pacquiao then went on to run for president, as we all know, in his native Philippines, where he served as a senator, but he lost the 2022 election finished third place behind Lenny Roberto an eventual winner Ferdinand bongbong Marcos, Jr alrighty.
Let’S move along to uh match room.
Regis progress has chosen a new promoter, it would seem um, WBC, super lightweight champ, but he’s expected to sign a three fight deal with Eddie Hearns matchroom boxing as part of that contract, the 34 year old progress fights will be streamed by The Zone worldwide.
The first fighter, progress New Deal, will likely take place sometime this summer against an opponent to be determined he’s a New Orleans native progress is 28-1 24 Knockouts and he chose to work with Hearns company over a longer offer from barbarum’s Top Rank.
Aram arum’s company wanted to want to fight fight commitment from progress which would have afforded the former WBA 140 pound champ opportunities to fight on ESPN against such potential opponents.
As a winner of the upcoming Josh Taylor, tifoma Lopez, bout, former WBC, WBO, 140 pound champ, Jose Ramirez and unbeaten Contender, Arnold Barboza, Jr, Taylor, Lopez, Ramirez and Barboza are all promoted by top rank.
On the other side of the pond.
We go to junior junior welterweight, contenders, Jack, catarall, Richardson Hitchens and Liam Paro among the match from affiliate fighters who are possible opponents for progress and who could face and Main Events.
As I said, streamed by The Zone, matrim’s partner, uh progress also decided to form Rougarou promotions.
A tribute to his nickname, Roger root promotions will promote his fights with matchroom, which has an exclusive content deal.
As I said, with the zone, progress previously was promoted by probalum, which announced his signing in October 2021, but he parted ways with promoter Lou de bella in 2020.
.
Speaking of Eddie Hearn.
According to Charles Braun, one of my favorite boxing fighters over boxing news24.
com Eddie Hearn blew his stack in reaction to a harmless article by Thomas Hauser, who said that he believes Auntie Joshua should retire rather than continue on and continue to take punishment.
Hauser pointed out the obvious saying that Joshua’s skills have deteriorated since his war with Vladimir Klitschko in 2017 and that he’s no longer willing to get in the trenches, as he did back then to win fights at this point.
Aj looks like he’s heading for Palookaville, and a fight against Deontay Wilde in December will likely be the final straw that sends him there.
If there’s any doubt whether Joshua 25 and 3, 20 Knockouts by the way is borderline over the hill.
All you got ta do is look at his fights in the last four years in which he’s lost three out of his last six houses Reasons by the way for why Joshua should retire.
Are he changed trainers twice with no improvement lost three of his last six fights lackluster performance against Franklin, unwilling to walk through any fire any longer and already possesses generational wealth in AJ’s last performance against second tier heavyweight, Jermaine Franklin, he looked timid, slow and a mere Shell of the fighter, he was a decade ago, Joshua looked worse than shot against Franklin and one can only cringe to imagine what Wilder or Tyson Fury will do to him.
It’S already it’s already challenging to understand half of what Joshua is saying, but it could be worse after those two get through with him Anyway, said Eddie heard you talk about retiring Thomas Hauser needs to retire.
Does it hurt in reaction to those comments made by Hauser? I just find it absolutely bizarre that you could lose a split decision to Alexander.
You should come back and nearly win every round against Jermaine Franklin and then it’s you have to retire now.
What the are these guys talking about? Dillian white struggle against Jermaine Franklin? No one ever said: Delan white should retire, AJ is about to fight Deontay Wilder one of the biggest fights of all time, and he should retire.
Show me the damage he’s taken in a fight the taxing heavyweight fights that Lantern Joshua has had.
I find it really disrespectful where you’re doing an article where you’re talking about brain damage and the dangers of boxing and relating to Auntie Joshua and talking about Muhammad Ali and the Damage he took.
Have you ever seen, Auntie Joshua said turn in a fight where he’s taken sustained punishment.
Some of these people in boxing you have to respect people that have been around for a long time and never talk badly about those kinds of people, and sometimes people don’t they think they sit above others because of the time they’ve served in the sport.
If AJ went out in the Franklin fight and looked like his punch resistant had gone, I get it okay, so there you go Eddie Hearn, uh grabbing headlines once again for our entertainment and Enlightenment.
Thank you for joining us once again here on talking fight appreciate.
It remember like share subscribe hit that notification Bell, we’ll see you later on at 4pm when I join my Gorham Cedric Ben for their show uh knuckle up.
Thank you, foreign
