It’S scheduled, for, i believe, uh, 5, 30 local time, and you know that’s that’s got to be around now but anyway, the point matter is: is uh they’re they’re fighting on saturday august 20th uh.
I announced that yesterday i’ll let you know uh, it’s been confirmed, uh and i was expecting to see the actual press conference live but uh.
Maybe it’s not a time delay or something or maybe i’ve got the complete time zones wrong.
Anyway.
On to my next item of the day and i’ve, i’ve been uh reporting on this particular event that was taking place in ontario california, and i got the results which were very surprising.
This was taking place at the doubletree hotel, as you will call back on the 17th of june, as you will recall this last weekend, where we had uh reported the saul sanchez fight, who is going up against aeros korea and i’ll.
Just read the opening paragraph here.
This past friday night at the doubletree hotel in ontario california, thompson boxing promotions saw the battle of future world title contenders as bantamweight eros korea, 12-1, with eight knockouts upset wbo number five and wba number eight saul, the beast sanchez who’s now 18-2, with 11 knockheads winning By split decision uh, the sanchez korea fight was a schedule 10 rounder and it was the main event uh headlining thompson’s path to glory.
Let’S have a quick little recap here.
It says korea.
I fought the fight of my life.
Uh he’s apparently rebounded from his first career loss in the latter part of 2021, and he continues.
I’Ve been telling everyone that i’m at my best fighting 118 pounds.
I want to thank sanchez for giving me a chance to face him.
This was a great fight and i’m happy that i got the victory.
I’Ve worked my whole life for this moment and now i’m one step closer to fighting for our regional title.
I also want to thank my team for believing in me and thompson boxing for giving me this opportunity elsewhere on that card and a six-rounder and a welterweight division.
Louis lopez, who’s now 11-1-1, with four knockouts defeated previously: unbeaten jalyak, bogal who’s.
Now, four and one with uh two draws and two knockouts uh and lopez won by the way by unanimous decision uh.
Apparently he shined in front of his hometown crowd as bogal lost a point in the fourth round after pulling down on lopez’s neck.
Although bogel had what looked like to be better boxing ability, he couldn’t handle a relentlessness and the attack that lopez was bringing said lopez with a smile.
I had to look good in front of my hometown crowd.
I kept the pressure coming and he didn’t know how to adapt to my style.
I had to make an adjustment after first round after that i was in full control and ready to take on any of the top contenders.
Now in the division in a four-round bout.
Super lightweight pedro valencia is now 10-0 undefeated.
Seven knockouts showed improvement in his last fight, know how he did that as he outlasted maria who is now 13, no sorry, 3, 17 and 1 winning by unanimous decision.
The scorecards read 40-36 in favor of valencia by all three judges in the second bout of the night: middleweight nelson knuckles, oliva who’s.
Now 3-0 uh stopped antonio duarte who’s.
Now, two and four, with a brutal body shot in the opening round of a scheduled six-round bout.
The referee counted out duarte at 55 seconds of the first round.
I keep getting better and better said oliva, who recorded the fastest knockout of his career duarte, was regarded as a tough guy.
Who would take me around and i showed the world how hard i hit.
I believe that no one is as strong as me in my division, wow, that must have been a blast again.
That’S the middleweight division uh quickly, final in the opening about welterweight prospect, anthony salvador, no sal, divar junior is now undefeated, he’s wan na know, uh by stopping genesis, g win at the 208 mark of the first round and a scheduled four rounder, a series of punches In quick succession saw a win, hit the canvas and get counted out there.
You go some great photos by the way on the boxing 247 website of that fight.
As i said, uh that took place this past weekend down in ontario california, at the doubletree hotel.
All right, let’s take a quick look at how ivan dicko or maybe daiko uh ivan daiko takes his 100 knockout record to argentina.
This week, as the giant kazak returns to the ring, the hammer, fisted daiko will be looking to secure a 12th knockout from as many pro fights in buenos aires on thursday june 23rd.

Both of these guys come to fight once a chance to make this fight was presented.
I went with it right away, despite only a few fights.

Let’S have a quick look across the pond here at the east side rooms on woodcock street in birmingham on the 26th of june louis morris plans to throw punches in bunches as his development continues, with a fourth professional contest, he’s back in the ring when bcb promotions Returned to the eastside rooms in birmingham with a sunday afternoon, showdown set for june 26th, the 20 year old, has fitted between bantamweight feather and super brother, since his debut with super bantam.
Also, a possibility morris who, from uh block switch near walsall, made his introduction last october with a considerable height advantage over five foot, one inch southpaw reese taylor.
He kept his composure to claim all four rounds and out point taylor by virtue of the 436 points decision with his second bet of 2021.
Putting him against josh anderson, a slow spell in one session, resulted in a drawn round, but morris was on top in the other three to claim a 40-37 verdict.
Before returning to action in march, he unloaded on ricky leach for most of the four rounds, but couldn’t force an early finish.
So instead settled for another 40-36 result.
Morris will again have ex-pro richie carter in his corner, who has coached him since he was an amateur with the wolverhampton boxing club and his amateur career.
By the way, solomon mass 24 wins from 31 unpaid bouts with area honors coming his way twice in the england junior championships, so some good fighting coming up in birmingham, england and uh, i believe tickets are underway.
Ah, oh, yes, the last item of the day.
It is an interesting story.
This is a little bit of politics here.
I have to report on former world super middleweight champ and current walk a world boxing association, light heavyweight, mandatory challenger, gilberto, zerto ramirez who’s, undefeated 44 and zero with 30 knockouts is confident that the wbc will order dimitri bibble, the reigning world, boxing association as wba super Light heavyweight champ to fight him next last month, ramirez stopped dominic bozell in four rounds to become the official wba light heavyweight mandatory challenger, which was his second title.
Eliminator victory for evolve.
First first duvall talked about fighting rematch with canelo alvarez, which wouldn’t happen until next may at the earliest.
Now he reportedly wants to to fight a unification versus arthur burbiev, ibf, wbc and wpo champ, who has a wbo mandatory defense due to ado versus anthony yard and promoter.
Eddie hearn, who controls which fights are streamed by the zone, is pushing joshua bouwatsi as bubel’s next opponent.
If a unification with better b isn’t made, however bible’s mandatory challenger is zerto, so it’s kind of interesting the wba world light heavyweight rankings go as follows: dimitri bible, followed by gilberto ramirez out of mexico, then great britain’s joshua valazizandr, then callum smith out of great britain.
Then andre durell out of usa, then dan aziz, out of great britain, um latvia’s uh rick rickards balotniks dominic bozell’s out of germany’s number, seven uh unesco with gonzales out of cuba, anthony yards out of bread and craig richards out of great britain, said ramirez.
I appreciate the wba and believe the right process will be followed.
I’M confused about bible ducking me.
I have earned the wba mandatory challenger position in the ring not once but twice he’s been talking about fighting me for the last two years.
It’S time bilbo said this.
One half years ago, gilberto ramirez is one of the top players in the light heavyweight division.
We’Ve talked about this fight for a long time.
The time has come to make this a reality.
We trained together inspired as well he’s a professional gentleman and a very good boxer he’s an ex-world champion, who’s proven to be one of the best fights like this excite fans.
This is what boxing’s all about fights that either fight has a fifty percent of being victorious.
Even ramirez’s former promoter, bob aaron, is on record saying: devel vival versus zerto should be next.
Aaron noted that vival and zerto both fight on the zone, while butterville fights exclusively on espn and arum, doesn’t want better bf to fight vival on the zone.
Wow aaron recently said in an interview, so my suggestion to devolve is if the canelo rematch isn’t available.
He should fight gilberto ramirez, who is promoted by golden boy and golden boy and eddie eddie hearn both do their fights on the zone, so it shouldn’t be a hard fight to make zerto of course, agreed with aaron said: i’m not surprised by bob’s comments.
Bevell can’t demand what he wants to what he wants to.
It just doesn’t work that way.
Canelo didn’t commit to the rematch.
So now i’m curious what other excuses he that’s pavel might make to avoid me.
My team and i have a tremendous amount of respect for bob and top rank he’s one of the greatest promoters, and i’ve always appreciate bob for giving me an opportunity.
Although we disagreed, it doesn’t mean we can’t do good business together down the line.
I still cherish all my time with top rank and wish nothing, but the best for bob and the top ranked family.
So the boxing world is waiting for the wba to order the bevol versus zerto fight.
Will they or won’t they? Politics will tell all right thanks for joining me here on uh talking about appreciate it remember to like share subscribe i’ll, see you at uh 4 p.
