Foreign [ Music ] boxing fans around the world thanks for joining me once again for another episode of boxing news headlines here on talk and fight, and I see we have quite a few things to go through, but it shouldn’t take too long.
Let’S start off with one of our favorite subjects: Eddie Hearn CMC is still a little upset with Oscar De La Hoya uh criticizing his matchmaking of Superstar quote unquote: Canelo Alvarez, who Eddie decided to put in the ring against one of his stable mates, John Ryder, rather Than Fighters such as uh, David benavidez or again, Dimitri bival anyway De La Hoya, is officially sick of Hearn matching Canelo against all these British Fighters.
He wants a change up was an actual quality for Canelo, instead of continuing cherry-picking fodder opposition uh this by the way, as you can imagine, comes courtesy of my friends over boxingnews24.
com and the writer Sean Jones Who Says with the way, earn his magic Canelo he’s extending His career, keeping him on top artificially by swerving the killers that might knock him off the top, sending him to the scrap peep, which some feel would be his fate if he were to tangle with the Mexican monster benavidez and David Morrell.
So Canelo, you know, as we’ve said before, he’s not really fighting the best and even uh Christian von spawn.
I could mention this at least a year ago, in his criticisms of the opposition that Canelo Alvarez was fighting anyway.
Hearn feels he’s done a bang-up job with the fighters he’s matched against Canelo so far, whose record, by the way is 58 2-2 with 39 Knockouts, putting him again putting in putting him in against Billy Joe Saunders Avril lydram Rocky Fielding, gen Audi Golovkin kale plant uh Anyway, so in this this regard De La Hoya has got a point: uh Canal’s Legacy in popularity have been going downhill lately since he stopped fighting the best after his controversial win over Triple G back in 2018 uh, when Canelo by the way finally did step.
In last may he was embarrassed by Dimitri bival um.
If only De La Hoya were less than a static about Canal facing the gorilla Rider 32-5, it wouldn’t be as bad, but the boxing World sees this as another example of soft matchmaking being done by Hearn.
Writer is at, is it as basic as you can get and he’s a dull opponent for Canelo he’s beaten, no one of the few most credible opponent for Canelo, and you can’t count as recent victory over shot a 36 year old, Danny Jacobs, because he fought him When he was old, is this the same guy that said fighting Dimitri Bibble was a terrible mistake, because the fight was too tough, said Eddie Hearn, let’s just break it down.
He continues the Canal’s.
Last four fights he’s been unifying against Billy, Joe Saunders in front of 75 000 people at Dallas, Cowboy stadium in Arlington, Texas, fight against another champion for the Undisputed title and Kelly plant in Las Vegas.
Dimitri Bibble, moving up lightweight, uh, sorry light heavyweight, which everyone said ridiculous, that face too tough and Triple G.
That’S Canal’s asked for a fight said Hearn.
What Hearn fails to say is that Billy, Joe Saunders reviewed as a paper Champion the eyes of many fans and Triple G was old and shot to Pieces when Canelo recently fought at Master plant he’s about to get destroyed by the maximum monster of Benavides uh come Saturday now he has a mandatory because he owns these belts, a guy John Rider that is number one in the world.
With a W coming off a win against Danny Jacobs and Zach Parker Austin De La Hoya, you can’t have a sensible conversation with him said: Hearn.
You can’t have a sense of conversation with him at all, but you certainly can’t have one about Canelo Alvarez De La Hoya should really show some respect to Canelo, who really kind of saved and changed his business in all honesty and worry about Gilberto Ramirez, the other Night he can be 13 pounds over and Jaime Mangia has the worst matchmaking of any career.
I’Ve ever seen so just to focus on the president, not the past, Canelo Alvarez has gone.
He’S left.
You he’s not coming back so dry your eyes unless just I’ll be friends said her when it suits uh answered her uh when asked uh.
You know why De La Hoya was friendly to him in Abu Dhabi yeah.
You want to slag someone off on Twitter and then say: hey buddy, I don’t really get it, but whatever anyway, so Canal, vs John Ryder is not pay-per-view.
It’S part of the Zone subscription.
In fact.
That sounds like a mistake to me that I’m gon na have to review, because that sounds like too much value.
I guess hearn’s talking about Canal writer not being on Pay-per-view on the Zone in the UK, because it is in the U.
S it’s on Pay-per-view and the fans aren’t happy about it.
That fight being on pay-per-view in the UK would make more sense, because writer is, after all, British and someone like the English fans would be more than willing to pay to see them the Americans.
So, there’s a bit of an update now speaking of Dave benavidez, who apparently is going to smash kale plant uh also on the fight.
I just want to point out for my friends over in England that Cody the crippler Crowley is facing Abel Remus on that very same night in the welterweight division.
There are other uh notables on that list on the undercard as well, but easily googleable and uh go have a look at it.
In the meantime, I want to talk about uh what David Benavides is going through on a personal level uh when it comes to his uh, his uh uh, shall we say, fighting partner, uh Caleb plant because he finds it rather laughable.
There’S critics are still on about his uh.
Shall we say: uh wait.
Uh The Undefeated former 168 pound champion undefeated, I might emphasize from Phoenix, has had to defend himself from accusations of laziness and gluttony over the years stemming from circumstances that are partially his own doing.
As we all know, the 26 year old benavidez has the unfortunate distinction of having lost his WBC super middleweight middleweight title twice, but for both reasons, nothing to do with conduct outside I’m sorry, but for both uh reasons that had to do with this conduct outside the Ring in 2018 he was stripped of his title for the first time for testing positive for cocaine.
Benavide has regained his title with a stop advantage in Durell in 2019, but would lose it on the scales ahead of his next fight against Romer Alex sogayo, and that was in 2020.
, so benavidez who’s on the chubby uh side as a child, he admits still frequently Gets mocked regarding his weight, including Caleb plant, the former 106 former 168 pound Titleist from Nashville as often Lampoon his adversary, by calling him a fat boy.
Well, that is just during the pot.
If you ask me so we’re going to see a great fight upcoming between these two uh Benavides implant will face each other in a highly anticipated 160 pound.
It’S 168 pound Grudge bout, uh March 25th at the MGM Grand Garden arena in Las Vegas tickets available by the way on talkingfight.
com in the and Benavides.
I would be more bothered by say having a flabby or midsection than the average Elite price fighter if it meant he would be unable to dominate and knock out his opponents, but that clearly hasn’t been the case.
He said, I’m I mean I’m still.
I still deal with it to this day being called fat even kale plants talking saying fat boy, this fat boy that but at the end of the day, all these dudes are cut up and they’re all marked up and they don’t have a uh knockout.
And then you go on the opposite side and you got someone with that.
Now, that is a fat boy.
Supposedly he has 26 fights.
He has 23 Knockouts.
So you tell me who’s doing it right.
I don’t care what people say, but by the way, uh, 30 years old, the 22 wins and won one loss.
Uh sorry, plant 30 has 22 wins.
One loss and 13 of his wins coming by knockout in a bodybuilding contest plant would sweep the board in the boxing ring of course, another matter.
At the end of the day they say, I’m fat said Benavides, they say I’m this.
They say I’m that they say.
I’M not dedicated at the end of the day, I’m doing my effing job and when I get and when I get his ass in that ring on March 25th, I’m gon na break his mouth.
I’M gon na make him regret everything he said and we are looking forward to that fight.
Uh.
Speaking of fights upcoming, I want to let you know that we had a great interview with uh David light.
Uh last Friday, go to talkandfight.
com check out nut club check out what Mike Orr, I have to say about David light and his upcoming fight in his interview, um David light talks about Lauren Zach Coley, who he’ll be fighting next for the WBO World, cruiserweight title belt.
I thought I’d, let you fight fans know that David light has been doing quite a few interviews of late, but I think we’ve got the scoop on this one so check out our interview with David light on talkingfight.
com, specifically my course show at Knuckle Up elsewhere around The world of boxing we see that Oscar Valdez and Adam Lopez will meet in 130 pound rematch on May 20th in Las Vegas.
That bout will serve as the chief support for the Devin Haney Vasily lomachenko fight for the Undisputed lightweight Championship, which will be shown on ESPN ESPN Plus on Pay-per-view uh Valdez by the way, he’s 31 23 Knockouts defeated Lopez, who’s 16 and 406 Knockouts via seventh round Stoppage back in November 2019, but the fight was Far tough for the next than I expected.
Lopez is a major Underdog Florida Valdez in round number two before the Mexican Olympian rallied for the technical knockout and the Victory Valdez and Lopez were set to fight different opponents.
On that particular night, but after valdez’s original opponent came in overweight, the the match was pieced together for the following night, so uh good fights upcoming, including uh, the auntie and Joshua Jermaine Franklin, the undercard being announced.
We see Rising uh British heavyweight champ Fabio wardley, he’s 15-0 14 Knockouts will face American Michael palette, coffee who’s 13-3, with 10 knockouts on the undercard of that uh uh Anthony Joshua clash, as I said, with Jermaine Franklin, has taken place at the O2 in London on April 1st April Fool’s Day live worldwide on the zone.
Undefeated middleweight Austin, ammo Williams, will also go head to head on that night against unbeaten rival Felix cash uh with ammo meeting River Wilson bent as uh previously announced cash 160-0 challenges Mateo sagnati on that night.
