[ Music, ] hello, there, boxing fans around the world.
Thank you for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today and we’re going to start off over in Ireland with a story emanating with respect to Katie Taylor uh.
As we all know, Shantel Cameron defeated Taylor, uh back in May, their first uh, her first professional defeat and the pair go to once again uh in November.
Uh taking place in Dublin and Taylor is quite confident.
She can exact revenge on the unified light Welterweight Champion, claiming that Resurrection is built in my mindset and my DNA and dismissing any thoughts of retirement Katie Taylor has claimed resur Resurrection is in My DNA as as she seeks that Revenge uh on November 25th, the Irish Fighters suffered their first professional defeat, uh back in May, as I said, Cameron defeated Taylor on home soil at the three arena in Dublin V majority decision uh it was labeled as the Irish star’s long awaited homecoming by the way, but Taylor was also known as the Pray bomber says she was thankful that she has another opportunity to challenge for the light welterweight titles and is Keen to write a different narrative when she steps next into the ring.
Every single fight is a must-win.
I’M very aware.
This fight is a must-win fight uh.
She said during a pre-fight press conference, I’m very grateful to have a chance to rectify things and get things right at the end of the day.
Resurrection is built into my mindset and in my and is in My DNA, I’ve been here before known as a pro.
I know how to come back strong.
The pair will square up once again at the three arena in Dublin and what will be the only second time Taylor will have fought in Ireland good for her all right.
Let’S move on to Josh Warrington, who says he thinks he can knock out: WBA featherweight Champion lee wood this Saturday night, when the two fighters meet at the 12 at a 12 rounder at the Sheffield arena in Sheffield England.
This article, coming to you courtesy at boxing 247.
com Warrington he’s 32 nope, 31, two and one with eight Knockouts isn’t known for his power, but he did knock out Kiko Martinez last year to capture the ibf 126 pound title.
So if Warrington can knock out Martinez, he should have enough power to stop the 35-year-old wood who’s at 2731 by the way who doesn’t have the best Mand.
Apparently, given that Michael conm was about to hurt wood, you can’t rule out a knockout win for Warrington, especially if he R roughs him up.
This will not come as good news for my friends over in Nottingham anyway would recently recapture the WBA title, beating mad deara uh by a 12 round.
Dous decision last May their rematch in their first fight last February, Lara knocked outwood in the seventh round.
In a have a room by M manom Boxing promote Eddie Hearn.
He quickly set up a rematch after just three months, taking advantage of Lara having been living it up celebrating his victory and gaining weight.
Lara was stripped of his WBA for coming in heavy at the pre-weight weigh-in and wasn’t allowed to make weight.
Wow uh ad alipo said: do you expect Lee or do you predict the knockout in this one Lee would yeah I’ve been the ringside lasty fights? I don’t believe that people who he’s been hurt by hit as hard as me and at the same time are as calculated as me, so they might land a few shots, but they good finishers have they got good setups.
I don’t think they have.
I think Maci Lara is a big puncher he’s not calculated.
He doesn’t know what to do he’s, not a great finisher in the sense that he gets hurt and he knows what he needs to do to set it up, but he rushes.
Sometimes I don’t believe I believe, I’m one of the biggest punchers in the division, not only that I can set up and I’m calculated so there you go some words from lewood for our fans in Nottingham.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we have a heavyweight fight, screams.
The headline in the Bleacher Report – reports, trickling out of Saudi Arabia of the last few days, indicated that the Rival heavyweight title clamens Tyson, Fury and Alexander yusk, will put their respective bobles on the line a long way to unification fight on December 23rd or early next Year and fury has confirmed the fight on his own Instagram account he’s been in the Kingdom prepping for a non-title fight against X, UFC heavyweight at kingpen, Francis nanu, that’s scheduled for October 28th in Riyad yusk.
Meanwhile, in several weeks removed from his most recent title, defense, a ninth round TKO for Daniel dubba, in which he was dropped by a body, shot, ruled low blow by referee, Luis Pabon.
The two have shared space at top the big boy division for uh.
More than two years since the Ukrainian, a former Undisputed champ at Cruiserweight, climbed the ladder to defeat Anthony Joshua on Joshua’s, home turf in England, he repeated the he repeated the feat: 12 11 months later in the Saudi city of Jetta, about 600 miles Southwest of Riyad.
The prospect of the two champs meeting set the uh combat uh um reporters a blaze and promptly an early head, totoe, uh breakdown in which is being looked at with respect to boxing ability, defense punching power and certain X factors.
So what we need to but know about this fight with respect to what’s at stake, simply put the heavyweight domination.
Heavy.
Their achievements have put Fury and YC on top of the sports.
Traditional glamour, Division and the bout is even more riveting because neither has lost in a professional ring.
Uh Fury toppled long time running a champ Vladimir Klitschko in 2015 before a prolonged Hiatus due to his personal issues and then returned for an unlikely vanquishing of Deontay Wilder across three fights.
Two wins one draw from 2018 to 2021.
He defended twice since completing the trilogy beating, dillian white and Derek jaora into submission in Combined 16 rounds.
As for yusk, he completed his own four belt dominance at cruiserweight in 2018, before rising to De Chaz, Witherspoon, TKO, seventh round and chora in to earn what to earn Joshua the title: try, oh to earn Joshua a title: try so he’s 5 and0 music’s 5-0.
Two two koos heavyweight and 16 trait wins with 12 koos before the jump and the winner will become the division’s first Undisputed Champion since Lennox Lewis, that Great Canadian boxer in 1999.
With respect to the tail of the tape you might have uh.
Quite frankly, let’s have a quick look here at the tail of the tape Gypsy King comes in at, as I said, 330 one 24 Knockouts he’s 6’9 268.
7 PBS and his reaches 85 in stance.
Orthodox yck he’s nicknamed a cat.
21-0 14 knads 6 fo3 221 pounds reach 78 inches and he’s a southpaw with respect to boxing ability.
Let’S see what the guys at bleach report say: usk is hardly a small Mana, 63 and 220 pounds, but expect much of the runup to this fight to suggest his path to Victory involves far more Nuance than savagery.
The Crafty Southpaw was world’s ahead of Joshua.
In spite of perceived disadvantages in height three inches and weight 20 pounds, he was able to initiate exchanges and avoid replies with superb hand, speed and footwork, using angles to bamboozle a fundamentally inferior Foe and ultimately securing a mental victory that preceded the official one.
Uh Fury could use those Dimensions to stay at the on the perimeter behind a jab and make it almost untenable for yick to get near him with meaningful punishment, while raining down impactful combinations of his own or if he operates in a similar manner.
To his second fight with 6 fo7 231 pound Wilder, he could fight off the back foot step forward and look to bombard his smaller opponent without compunction, either way it seems a difficult Road for yick to travel Advantage, Fury and with respect to punching power.
This one’s gon na be good uh they’re, combined, let’s see 38 Knockouts and 54 professional victories.
Nevertheless, youc North Fury is laed first and foremost for power, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Yusk was never in one place long enough to receive powerful volleys from a bigger andum, be stronger Joshua.
We do end up being the fighter closer to stoppage Victory more often across their 24 rounds.
Uh, his individual blows aren’t particularly devastating, but he amplifies their impact with Superior precision and speed.
Fury thanks to his gargantuan size and Ill ring temper can find success when he decides to be the bully in the ring.
His second fight with wilder was a remarkable example of big man.
Brutality featuring a pair of knockdowns before the end came in round number seven.
He can dump an opponent to the floor with a single blow or battle that same R into physical uselessness over multiple rounds, which is again a significant obstacle to overcome Advantage Fury.
Well, there you go some news: uh coming your way, Cur see the writers of Bleacher Report and uh.
Let’S move on to see oh big fight coming up November 25th, one that I’m looking forward to David benovitz will go into the ring and face Demetrius Andre um.
That’S on Showtime and and as a sidebar to that I I read also that Showtime is going to be shutting down their boxing division uh and the guys over at PBC are quietly looking for other broadcas opportunities.
So I think I’ll have to contact Al Heyman anyway.
Ben viidz, the current WBC interim super middleweight champion, is widely viewed as the division’s top Challenger to Undisputed super middleweight champ Canelo Alvarez benv is 270 with 23 Knockouts has an aggressive, crowd-pleasing style and generally seeks to break down and stop his opponents inside the distance 32-0.
With 19 Knockouts Demetrius Andre is a two division world champion who, prior to turning professional, representing United States at 2008 Beijing Olympics and like benovitz Andre, has for years been seeking an opportunity to face top to your competition for Andre long sought, bouts with Fighters include Triple G Jamal Charlo, Jamal Charlo and Canelo, but they’ve not yet materialized, so benovitz and Andre currently find themselves in a similar point in their careers.
Both are eager to prove themselves against the sports best both feel up the same extent being avoided throughout their careers by the top fighters, and both men have had difficulty securing big fights, despite performances, consistently demonstrating that they have each belong.
They each belong in among the sports Elite.
Both men, despite their efforts to secure the biggest fights possible, have received criticism for not having faced top level competition.
So this one seems like a great fight for both men and I look forward to it.
Other fights upcoming uh coming up soon.
Actually, I believe this is coming up.
In a few days, Gilberto Ramirez will look rebound and reset his career on Saturday night when he makes his Cruiserweight debut against former light heavyweight titlist Joe Smith Jr.
This BT will headline a Golden Boy promotions card at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas and it will Mark the first time Ramirez, he’s 44 and one by the way, 30 Knockouts will be fighting since suffering a unanimous decision, loss to Demitri bivel back in November and blowing Weight on the day of his March weigh in against Gabrielle Rosado, forcing his fight to be canceled.
Altoe he’s said, I feel great at Cruiserweight.
This is typically the weight.
I’Ve walked around my entire life.
I feel much stronger in this class and, most importantly, I feel healthy.
Dealing with the bival loss was a really tough one.
I it hurt my soul, it hurt my ego as a warrior and now that I’ve been able to move past it, I want to come back even stronger and I want to win.
I feel like I can do it.
As we all know, the third-year old Ramirez he’s from mazlan caloa Mexico, he a former super middleweight title holder who didn’t capture like heavyweight Crown during a sixf fight stretch from 2019 to 2022.
So, let’s see what happens uh this upcoming weekend elsewhere.
Ah, yes, something I mentioned the other day, Ryan Garcia steps back between the ropes later this year, following his pay-per-view KO defeat, uh pound over pound-for-pound, star, javante Davis last spring, Garcia makes his highly anticipated return in a collision of knockout power against parel Mex, Mexico’s Oscar Duarte the event occurs on Saturday December 2nd is scheduled for 12 rounds in a super lightweight division.
The promoter Oscar De La Hoya, who had words for boxing in general yesterday, looks forward to showcasing Garcia before another Mammoth pay-per-view in 2024 said De La Hoya.
This is one of the reasons: fight fans, love Ryan, instead of taking baby stack back after a hardfought fight he’s returning against a guy with lethal power who doesn’t take a step step backward.
Whoever merges Victorious is immediately in line for a shot against any current world.
Champion fans aren’t going to want to miss this one and at only 25 years of old, by the way uh King Ryan, Garcia, has skyrocketed to the top of Superstar them.
He really has he’s got a massive following and he’s proven that he’s in the Supreme pay-per-view attraction category right on okay, let’s move on uh to our last uh article of the day here, headlined tantalizing, super fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford makes quote perfect sense And quote: this is courtesy of talksport.
com, Canelo, Alvarez and Terence Crawford are both coming off dominant victories, but with Bud challenging the Mexican Ace.
Will we see this cross division Mega fight soon and if so, who wins? Boxing rarely gets these opportunities when the sports biggest Global, Superstar, Canelo and pamper pound number one Crawford are just about in Touching distance when it comes to weight and able to face off in the ring um.
It has happened before we might recall.
Floyd May Floyd Mayweather moved up to take on Oscar De La Hoya and and after Alvarez dismantled Jamal Charlo.
He announced Canelo versus Crawford’s the biggest fight in boxing uh.
We also might want to take into consideration Tyson Fury and Alexander yusek, which I just mentioned, uh with yusk moving up from Cruiserweight anyway.
So let’s have a quick look here at the Canelo versus Crawford possible megap fight.
Let’S have look and see what they say.
It indicates the 33y old just wanted to bask in his victory after his victory over Charlo, rather than rule out a future Crawford Showdown.
Despite the three weight divisions between them, it’s actually a contest that makes perfect perfect sense for both Fighters, even Beyond just the hundreds of millions of dollars on the table, for it all boasted.
Nobody can live with this Canelo as fully fit again after R surgery.
He laid a beating on Charlo.
It’S clearly annoys his proud warrior after his defeat by Demitri bivel at 175 pounds and then two uninspiring winds.
He has slipped down the pound-for-pound rankings.
There are two realistic ways: Canelo can put himself back in contention for that number.
One spot either defeat bivel in a rematch, a tricky challenge, given the larger Russian may just always have his number style-wise or become the first first man to beat Crawford on a smaller older boxer.
Who’S never fought above welterweight in his life option, two looks far more achievable and while some in the Canelo promotion business might worry that a Crawford contest is a no- win fight where, if the Mexican is Victorious, people will say it’s simply because he’s bigger, but if He loses it’s a humiliation.
Alvarez surely sees it as a winnable fight.
After all, the super middleweight King just took apart the Undisputed light middleweight champ uh.
Why should he fear the Undisputed champ from a division below that Crawford won his first world title at 135 pounds and at 36 years of age is not naturally getting any bigger for Bud.
The appeal is simple: if the KO of Spence sealed his status as a modern, great, leaping up three weight divisions to beat the 168 version, uh of Canelo would make Crawford an all-time great.
Despite riding 11 fight, knockout sross 140 lbs to 147 PBS Crawford would be, unlike would be unlikely to put a dend in canelo’s Iron chin, but he has other weapons.
The Slick smart, versal switch hitter would back himself to outbox any opponent, even close to his size and, while Canelo looked very good against Charlo, he still likes to fight his own meth method, methodical Pace.
He will always have problems against truly Elite Fighters, with accurate, Jabs and Superior footwork.
He lost to Mayweather a wel towe like Bud albe, that was raw weight drained Canelo rather than a mature filled out version of 168 pounds.
So there you have it fight fans.
