[ 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, uh it began beginning of the week.
We have a variety of different uh fights to report on happened over the weekend, starting off uh with the big fight that happened in denmark, wbo world bantamweight champion.
Dina thorsland successfully defended her title for a second time when she outclassed new york, guest coreno, the 28 year old, who now holds an 18-0 professional record one in front of her home fans uh with scores of 190, 99 to 91 and 99 to 91.
All right, thorsland, however, wants a massive unification fight next and guess who she’s challenging this one knocked my socks off quote immediately after her impressive win on saturday and i’m quoting boxing 247.
com here she turned to the other bantamweight title holders uh with thorizon.
Having spoken about the prospect of a fight with ebony bridges, the ibf champion in the build up, it would be amazing to fight ebony thorsland said, but the result would not come as a surprise to people, because i would win, because i am better than her wow.
There you go there’s something to chew on all right across the pond: let’s go over to coast of mesa, california, at the hangar back on april 9th we saw michaela mayer who grew up in southern california and then left to pursue boxing career and after an olympic Birth, nearly five years as an unbeaten pro fair world class titles mayor finally, authored her triumphant championship, homecoming mayor, bested, former world champion jennifer hahn by unanimous decision to retain her wbo and ivf junior lightweight world titles.
This past saturday, it was a world title.
A third title: defense for mayor who’s, now 17-0, with five knockouts as her first as and her first as a unified world champion, she did everything but force the stoppage outlanding hand by more than three to one clip 192-63 early in the fight mayor, busted, open, hand’s, Nose with a right hand and used a stiff upper jab to keep hand on the defense meyer said i feel like.
I did a lot of good things in there.
Her movement, i think, is what she does best and it throws you off.
She gets her spacing in a little bit, so i had to throw her off and stay behind.
The jab coach al mitchell reminded me to stay behind the jab and set the right hand up.
She would duck sometimes and make me miss.
I started to go to the body all in all: she’s, tough, durable girl.
That’S why we chose her for this fight.
We knew she’d push me, but i feel like i did well having won.
I would say she did do well and she goes on to continue.
I’Ve been pretty clear that i wanted to go undisputed at 130 alicia baumgartner and hoi min choi.
I’Ve been calling them out.
I want either fight, but if they’re not going to give me that fight in a timely fashion, i’m going to go up and challenge the winner of the amanda serrano versus katie taylor fight.
So lots of news.
As i said, the report on today and starts off with a couple of decent challenges.
Speaking of challenges triple g, one of my favorites gennady golovkin became the new wba middleweight super champion after knocking out ryota murada in a war held this past saturday over in satima japan.
The kazakh who was already the ivf champion snatched the belt from the japanese and is now the unified 160 pound monarch after stopping it in the ninth round with a hair-raising right hand.
However, the fight was not easy for triple t who found himself up against a brave and motivated puncher who came out on equal footing.
The kazakh had to deal with the jab of a taller opponent and the right hand of mirada that swelled golovkin’s cheekbone early.
The 40 year old veteran stuck to his plan, which is to move forward through a lot of punches and be accurate with the street punch he took.
Control of the fight as rounds went on a little sidebar to this story involving mr golovkin and courtesy of uh.
Another report in a show of respect, triple g, went to mirada’s dressing room after knocking him out to give him back his wba middleweight title that he had won off him uh at the arena.
Mirada gave golovkin major problems in the first round, just explained in their 165 360 pound, ibf and wba unification fight and uh.
You know golovkin made the adjustments necessary to go into to win the victory, but it goes on to say here in this particular article inside the ring after the fight glovekin gave murada his robe, which he put on and was still wearing inside the dressing room when Triple g went in there to give him back his title.
It’S unclear whether this means that golovkin doesn’t want to keep morata’s wba title, or it was just a symbolic gesture.
If golovkin chooses to reject the wba title, it would fall vacant or perhaps even be removed by the sanctioning body.
By way of contrast, this uh this author happens to say: murata looked better in that fight uh than billie joe saunders, kylie plant rocky field and callum smith, so the super middleweight uh division looks to be quite healthy and quite rambunctious right now, with that victory by Triple g moving along in the welterweight division, which is gaining in popularity as well as these fighters rise to the ranks over in las vegas.
This past weekend at virgin hotels, two super welterweight contenders, sebastian, fenduro and eriksen lubin delivered an instant classic as fonduro captured.
The interim wbc super welterweight title via technical knockout after nine rounds in a showtime main event, which was held at the theater in the virgin hotels as part of the curio collection by hilton, fair enough, and it was presented by the way by premiere of auction champions.
In about the lived up to pre-fight hype, both men hit the canvas and showed tremendous fortitude to recover from knock bands and continue to deliver massive blows.
It was a six foot, six inch fendura, who struck first with a sweeping rate uppercut that sent lube into the mat during the final seconds of round two, despite appearing on shaky legs after round two lubin recovered in the final minute of round three to three of Round three to bloody fundura with a series of headshots ruben won three of the first four rounds on all three scorecards buoyed by a bruising body attack against the taller opponent.
However, in round seven thunder and lube and engaged in a surefire round of the year candidate, as both men took serious damage, fondura’s non-stop volume began to show dividends on lubin’s face which started to swell up from the damage.
During the frame, however, lubin showed championship championship medal by turning the tide, with an unrelenting series of hooks that eventually forced mandurah to take a knee.
The first time he’s been down as a pro after rising to his feet after the knockdown fundura covered to outland, lubin, 26-12 and 28-3 in rounds eight and nine respectively, overall hondura outlander lubin 255-149, while leuven held a 40 to 36 percent advantage in punch accuracy, reuben Had early success with his job planning 18 over the first three rounds, but only connected on 15 throughout the rest of the action after a one-sided round number nine and with the swelling continuing to go around lubin’s face his trainer kevin cunningham asked referee maura to stop The fight officially ending the action via technical knockout after nine rounds at the time of stoppage, reuben led 85-84 on two of the judge’s cards.
With the third judge scoring the fight 85-85.
I think it was a good decision for kevin cunningham to stop the fight said.
Vendura his face shifted from round one to round nine.
It completely morphed, and there was a lot of blood coming out, he’s a tough fighter.
He was in the game the whole time, but there’s no need to get hurt that much lubin by the way was taken to the umc trauma center for further observation post fight for fundura.
He puts himself in position to face the winner of the undisputed 54-pound title.
Rematch between jeremel charlo and brad castano, taking place on may 14th.
He said i see charlotte winning that fight against castano.
I feel like he’s going to be too strong for the second time.
If castano wins, that’s great too, i just want to go after all of them.
This is the interim belt, so i want the world champion title.
I want the real deal over at the alamo dome in san antonio texas and, if ever you’ve been to san antonio you’ll, find that it’s a great city, fun city to be in uh down in texas april 9th san antonio was treated to fireworks at the alamo Dome when the undefeated boxing superstar ryan, garcia who’s now 22-0, with 18 knockouts out of california, made a triumphant return to the ring against the top-rated emanuel tago also called the game boy who fights out of accra, ghana, whose record is now 32 and 2 with 15 Knockouts, the 12 round lightweight fight featured a strong performance from garcia to a crowd of fourteen thousand four hundred fifty nine people, as he landed an early power punch that sent to go to the canvas in the second round.
Once both fight fighters found the rhythm, garcia systematically broke down, the ghanian boxer, as he landed, precise, punches to the head and body to go, tried his best to keep his distance using an ineffective jab in between rounds.
I was just telling him you’ve got to get, go to track him down and said joe gossein trainer to ryan garcia he’s not going to engage you.
You just have to keep the pressure on he’s.
A tough kid he’s only one loss in the beginning of his career he’s been on a winning streak for a very long time he’s a great chin.
He was in great shape and he came here to win.
He didn’t, he didn’t come here to lose, but after a while he was not trying to win, he was just trying to survive and ryan was then trying to track him down and trying to catch him.
Tahoe was not being very agreeable and he didn’t engage the fight, a lot who who would fight next i’ll take a back seat on all that? Hey don’t come to jim.
Tell me how to shame my guys and i don’t go to their office until i’m going to make fights when they throw something at me.
I say that sounds good to me and we go to work.
We’Re going to talk to joe dybala and see who’s.
Zach said peter khan manager of emmanuel togo, emmanuel went 12 rounds with ryan emmanuel is out of the ring longer than ryan.
So i think that’s a victory.
I think we learned that emanuel has a chin and he took some big shots tonight.
It was a good fight and ryan performed very well by the way in the co-main event.
At night the resilient king, gabriel razada who’s 26 15 and 1 15 knockouts out of philadelphia was defeated by shane mosley jr who’s now 1804, with 10 knockouts, and he fights out of pomona california he’s a majority decision in a 10 rounder and therefore mosley captures the Wba continental america’s super middleweight title elsewhere.
We go down the road to zonkey’s auditorium in tijuana mexico, where mexican contender damian associates 2001, with 11 knockouts defended his wbo latino super welterweight championship with an impressive knockout victory against jesus vega, who’s now, 22, 3 and 1.
Out of the senalia mexico in the main event of the toscano boxing promotion, show, as i said, it was taking place at zonkey’s auditorium in tijuana, that’s in baja, california, mexico.
So it’s the end of the boat at 1, 35 of the third round and once again, don demonstrated his desire to have a world title opportunity in the near future.
It was a good fight, said damian sosa.
I think i controlled the entire fight in the second round.
He landed a hard shot on me, but, aside from that, i felt i had to control the entire boat and that’s uh, that’s what i was doing and what my corner was telling me to do.
I think we all dream one day being able to fight for a world title.
I prepared myself every day for that, and i know that the opportunity to present itself one day, because i will look for it i’ll, continue growing and waiting for that opportunity.
Right on speaking of mexico, we’re going to pop, along to the metapec fairgrounds, very complete and effective boxing from angel lord isabel, who won the wbc’s flyweight elimination match convincingly defeating former champion of the world, nicaraguan christopher rosales, uh, and that was back on that saturday night.
Aiea 140, as he’s known uh, remains undefeated and was masterful against the rival with great experience, namely rosales who’s.
Now 32 6-0 must be 32-6-1 with 21 knockouts who sought to counter attack and force the fight, but the mexican executed fight back to perfection and landed an appreciably higher volume of punches during the same event, luis ramirez who’s now 10-0, with 10 knockouts, extend his perfect Record in just one minute, 22 seconds demonstrating his power knocking down brandon romero twice and knocking him out.
Eventually, ramar had to be taken out of the ring on a stretcher and taken to a hospital for tests required for this type of knockout.
Fortunately, he is okay.
With this victory, zordito ramirez wins the wbc youth super bantamweight championship.
Let’S take a look at things to come here: connor good child for you, uk fans is going to ensure that his belated birthday present comes in the form of another pro win: the sequel to his debut.
When bcb promotions returned to the east side rooms uh in birmingham with this fight, except for uh, not next friday, but april 29th, a few weeks down the road, the brummies paid uh, they became on home turf, as recently as february 13th on another bcb, offering at The h suite in egg boston, where he appointed paul cummings welterweight good child fights out of kings norton, eased to comprehensive point success, despite an absence of six years from competitive action, uh through a 40-36 white watch scoreline that previous fight.
So i guess english fans are looking to his uh answering the ring once again on april 29th, now speaking of uh, the welterweights, if i’m not mistaken, we have some news here after a busy weekend, the fighting fans around the world equally await one of the most Exciting fights of the year so far, the wealth weight, unification belt, coming up between errol spence who’s 27-0 and your dinosaurs, who’s 27 and four, and that’s that to take place over in arlington texas.
However, quietly across the pond, a fight featuring the young, unbeaten and hungry welterweight prospect conor band who’s 20-0 is also set to take place at the ao arena in manchester england.
This is where a conor band will take on uh the uh south african veteran uh.
Chris van gerden who’s 28, two and one – and this is where conor bend by the way is putting up his uh wba continental wealth weight title on the line.
Now, that’s it.
So this all gets a bit interesting because we also have uh statonias versus no sorry.
Another relatively obscure fight that many boxing gala overlooked is also said to happen over in arlington this weekend.
As a former olympian and celebrated amateur fighter in europe, the undefeated lithuanian native iman stantonis 13-0 is set to fight against russian fighter rajab putiyav 14-0 for the wba regular welterweight title.
This fight is set as one of the uh undercuts preceding the main event, but, as a matter of importance is enough to stand alone as the main card uh of an episode of showtime championship boxing that isn’t pay-per-view.
Let’S just float down the story just a little bit um because uh the author of this.
Let me just quickly sorry: the author is makui zhang and this is in boxing news 24.
By the way you can go there to their website.
Have a quick look at this check this conclusion out.
The welterweight division might not be one of the most stacked divisions today, which i completely disagree with, but it is still a hot division which i agree with filled with talented prospects and champions alike.
So i’m a little confused with this opening remark.
This saturday would not only mark a new beginning with the crowning of a new unified champion, but also set in path for some, the biggest matchups in the division’s future.
Well, that is quite an understatement and quite a conclusive, concluding statement um, but we’ll see what happens to this daniel’s band and uh spends you this all on these guys, good good, good, matchups all around alrighty.
Let’S move on quickly for the final uh story of the day, featuring the olympic qualification system.
That’S just been announced uh.

As an international association.
We have had to take many viewpoints into consideration when formulating this system.
I am sure that, after months of discussion and consultation, we have created a qualification system that provides a fair and equal chance to all would-be olympic boxers importantly, they will be based on success at iba events, while developing the system.
The idea worked closely with the ioc sports sports department and ib affairs committees and the international continental confederations athletes and the host country’s own national federation said the iba secretary general ashton kovac.
He said we are very happy with the olympic qualification system.
