Foreign [ Music ] boxing fans around the world, thanks for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today, because of our many friends around the world, and today we’re going to start off with a few quotes, courtesy of Deontay Wilder one of uh, the boxers, I think, should retire from the sport, mainly due to the concussions he’s suffered in the ring, but of late he’s, been speaking a lot and being quoted a lot, and so today he’s talking about the pay-per-view scenario and the various fight Fans out there across the world, who quote unquote, steal, pay-per-view events and thus take money out of the pockets of boxers.
In a nutshell, so he’s saying you know, stop stealing the pay-per-views in a nutshell, he says we can’t make the numbers.
We can’t do numbers if everybody’s pirating, the goddamn, pay-per-views and streaming them that’s why the numbers are so down and they’re going to be down because everybody’s stealing them these Fighters work very hard to risk their lives for others, entertainment.
Let’S get some respect.
Let’S watch these fights and pay for these pay-per-views if you can’t afford to pay for it alone, double up team up, let’s come together now the author of this particular article on boxing news, uh on sorry, unbox24.
com uh, Philip by the name of James Slater, adds his Own comments to this he goes.
This is an interesting subject.
He says there are, one could certainly argue far too many Pay-Per-View fights out there these days and a hardcore fight fan.
Who is unwilling to miss a thing but cannot afford to pay for so many hundreds of dollars or pounds per year will say he or she has no option but to stream some of these fights, on the other hand as well, it is made clear Fighters at Pay-Per-View levels are paid by the revenue a Pay-Per-View fight brings in, but stopping and leaving illegal streaming has proven to be a tough thing for the powers to be um, mainly maybe a while.
The suggestion of teaming up with friends when paying for Pay-Per-View fight is the best thing first thing to do in a nutshell: you are streaming you’re, stealing sorry from a fighter if you’re illegally, watching this uh watching his or her fights via a stream there, that’s what He has to say now: this issue, quite frankly, was tackled by the music industry many years ago and successfully so uh, so why it can’t be done by the boxing industry is beyond me: um moving along.
Let’S have another look at boxing news24.
com fellow by the name of Sean Jones, a writer says: Canelo Alvarez will have to run the gauntlet for him to retake his number one pound for pound by defeating these three Dimitri bival Dave, benavidez and RW.
Fighting the hammer nagar John Ryder, does nothing for Canelo because he’s not an elite fighter to help him move up the pound-for-pound rankings.
That fight is just a foxhole for Canelo to hide in he says Canelo.
Is that his time as the number one pound for pound guy in the sport and he’s been kicked off that hill by Terence Crawford, unfortunately, for Canelo he’s not going to take his number one spot back unless he does something dramatic by beating the big three says.
Sergio Mora it’s going to be tough and the odds are against him and I’m gon na say no about whether or not Canelo will ever be the number one pound for pound fighter again.
If Canelo wants to be back in number one, you know what he has to do: Bibble, better biev and benavidez.
If he can knock one of those guys off.
Yes, he can take the number one spot, but for now being in the John writers of the world, that’s not going to do it.
There are too many people waiting behind you to claim that spot.
Uh he’s been a pro since he was 15 years old.
He points out and has 62 fights, but that wear and tearing his body you see it all the time his knees, his elbows his hand, injury.
I start to pile up at the age he is now.
I remember I started boxing.
I have a lot of injuries catching up to me in the early 30s.
Your body’s not the same moral continues.
Is he still going to be an elite fighter? Yes, he’s going to be a pay-per-view star, absolutely but pound for pound number, one that belongs to if Crawford and Spence ever fight.
If anywhere, full, never fight a new Superior fight, it begins to lose those types of Fighters.
The mega Fighters, uh said Maura.
I think you’ll get back to number one, however, because I still think the elite fighter is in there said uh said Maura about his belief that canel can retake the number one pound-for-pound spot.
Bival is always going to be a challenging opponent, he’s bigger and stronger and he’s every bit of skill as Canelo, and he doesn’t make the mistakes that some of Canelo Alvarez’s other opponents make, but he’s about to exploit that.
And if he beats John Ryder and over the next couple years beats guys like Dave, benavidez and Edgar berlanga like Jamel Charlo, guys are going to be available to fight and guys he’s shown a willingness and eagerness to get in there and fight he’s going to pop Right back up there that number one spot well, that remains to be seen boxing fans, I’m sure, you’ll agree with me that remains to be seen.
Speaking of seeing boxing fans over in Vietnam enjoyed a show and we don’t often report about uh our fans over in Vietnam, but here I’ve got a report, courtesy of Jenny, doe uh on Shadow entertainment, who presented another edition of the lead event Series this past weekend.

The Vietnamese boxer won the overall battle and successfully defended his WBA Asia belt.
By the way, the supporting bout saw unbeaten, WBA number eight ranked hutuon Lee six and one of Vietnam surprisingly upset the garan, Diagon nine and three five Knockouts out of the Philippines.
Both Tuan and Diagon started off the fight with powerful attacks.
The Vietnamese boxer dominated the following rounds with its combination of horizontal Hooks and uppercuts, while Diagon played defense and managed to have many successful counter attacks to one whoever had his chance to finish off his opponent, but Diagon was able to evade the attacks.
Thanks was impressive.
Stamina, after 12 rounds, Diagon defeated tawan by just one point and won the WBA Asia miniweight belt wow, the other supporting bout saw unbeaten no uh High 5-0 and three draws four Knockouts out of Vietnam by technical knockout over can pee fiam out of Thailand in a 10 round about for the WBA South Asia super lightweight title uh unbeaten, the guy knock high, five and oh, by the way: uh a Vietnam, TKO pyam, uh, 22, 6 and 2 by the way, 14 Knockouts.
A very strong Contender from Thailand with the Turning Point occurring in the second round when fiam lost his Focus, allowing High to continuously dish out his attacks.

Matchroom, who promotes rosalas did not bid Alvarado’s manager, William Ramirez, out of WW Ram boxing, had some insight on the purse bid.
He said this is a fight which, when it was ordered, I was excited for.
