[, Music, ] hello, the boxing fans around the world.
Thank you for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today, courtesy of our friends across the pond at boxing247.
com and as you know, i rant and rave quite often about the heavyweights and today we’re going to start off the Show with a show today, with a story about a heavyweight being signed to a company called everton red triangle, and it’s noteworthy only because i’ve been talking about how clogged up the heavyweight division is.
But there doesn’t seem to be any shortage of managers and or promoters who are willing to get behind these fighters, as was evidenced on the weekend by the derek azura, ku pula fight and its outcome anyway.
Everton’S red triangle uh has uh signed to add to their uh pool of talent that mainly includes the phantom weights and featherweights uh.
They have uh broken the mold.
They say and signed a london heavyweight fellow by the name, obama brown, i’m not sure.
If that’s bulma brown obama brown b-o-m-a anyway, it looks like a good guide, there’s a great story on boxing 247.
com.
It is a bit lengthy, though i just wanted to give you the headline here.
Uh start the show off with with a bit of a story about the heavyweights, because i’m going to conclude this episode with a story about the heavyweights that i’ve discovered that i think will make for interesting reading and interesting.
Listening on your part, so moving along here with respect to recent results, yeah, you might have heard ray vargas, defeated, mark magsayo and brendan figura and frank martin, both win anyway.
Let’S go on to mexico’s ray vargas, who became a two division world champion saturday night, as he rose from a knockdown and boxed and banged his way to wbc featherweight world championship against mark maxello by split decision and a dramatic showdown that headlined live on showtime from The alamo dome in san antonio in a pbc event i’m at a loss for words and emotional vargas, post fight.
I worked hard for this.
I want to thank god, my family, my trainer, nacho berstein, uh.
First title i won.
I enjoyed it really greatly, but the special this win is for me so fair enough.
Congratulations to ray vargas and i’m sure we’ll see uh, both he and max hey back in the ring shortly uh.
As i was saying earlier, let me just quickly scroll down a little bit here in the cold main event hard-hitting former world champion brandon the heartbreaker figure.
Oh he’s now, 23 101.
lady knockouts returned to the win column with a dominant six-hand knockout over carlos castro.
In their wbc featherweight title eliminator, which i mentioned last week, uh elsewhere in the telecast opener unbeaten, rising star, frank martin, who’s now 16 and over 12 knockouts showed the full complement of skills has made him one of the most talked about up and comers in 135 Pound vision, as he delivered a methodology method, not the doc, methodical, nah, right destruction on his way to stopping jackson as uh 19 and three or seven knockouts in the tenth and final round anyway i’ll.
Let you uh toy that one through um rashidi ellis, absolutely uh.
Had a fantastic win over jose ma mavrufo, i believe that was part of the uh yep part of the uh knockout of the week uh.
It was a stoppage replacement by the way jose mourinho alice dropped, berufo twice in the first two minutes of the frame before follow-up attack forced referee ellis johnson to halt the action in the round.
So additional stream, you saw san antonio native ramon cardenas 21-0 with 10 knockouts, edging a unanimous decision over venezuela’s michael banchez’s 22 with 14 knockouts.
Anyway, the event was promoted by tg promotions down in san antonio and the martins marines bell was promoting association with man down promotions good for them look to see more out of san antonio, it’s a great city to visit if you’re there in texas.
Let me move along across the road, though, to florida plant city, where we saw panamanian contenders caesar rain man fences now: 11-0 six knockouts captured uh the w.
No sorry, the n-a-b-o junior welterweight title with a unanimous decision win over former world champion raymundo beltran who’s.
Now, 37-10, and one with 23 knockouts in a pro box main event on saturday evening out of plant city, and that’s in florida, as i say just across well depends how you look at it just down the road from san antonio a few hundred miles.
It was a great fight said cesar francis.
He made me think a lot.
He was very crafty as a reason why we were champion.
I know i have great power, but i just have to let my hands go.
I look back at the tape.
I get better from this because i need to work my finishing my opponent: we’re going to keep working and keep getting better and work on getting a world title in the co-main event.
Curtis harper out of jacksonville, scored an upset majority decision win over german heavyweight christian tune.
Um did i say, heavyweight more on that later there are other undercard results on boxing247.
com.
I invite you to go along to that story and read who won on the undercard uh coming up this week, uh kazuto ayoka went up against don hinetas in their rematch that’ll take place in tokyo this wednesday and a couple of days time, depending on where you Live in the world, and this will be occurring on the 13th of july at the ota city, general gymnasium, that’s in tokyo, kazuto ayoka has warned don ignetes to be prepared for a more aggressive version of himself in their wbo title rematch.
The rivals clashed in 2018 when the vacant junior bantamweight belt was on the line with filipino hero, nietzsche’s winning via split decision that was after 12, closely fought rounds.
Nyetes would vacate the title soon after allowing ioka a second stab of glory, and the japanese fighter has reigned as wbo champion for over three years, so the pair meet again in tokyo, wednesday night and though aoka has complement the intelligence and durability of the four-year-old.
He plans on turning the heat up on the test.
At this time he was very tough, very smart fighter.
I got told ring magazine he moves well and counters very good, but i don’t recall being hit hard and getting trouble.
So i believe i can go after more aggressively this time, so we wait on that result.
That’S it joe mcgrail, going in the ring all right at the stadium of light in sunderland.
I might have mentioned this last week.
Let’S see what we got here.
Joe mcgrail will box for a second time in just 15 days, after being confirmed to fight in sunderland.
Next weekend, the liverpool super bantamweight defeated stephen nicolai in barnsley at the start of the month and is next in action, sunday july 17, at the stadium of flight on a phil jeffries promotion.
So i guess we’ll be seeing uh joe mcgrail again, uh he’s now 4-0, but we don’t know who his opponent will be at this time and has to be announced.
So when we go to nick ball who’s going to face nathaniel cocoa, coco lolo, my god, i’m in trouble with the names today, nathaniel cocololo on the copper box card on july 16th, rising featherweight star nick ball will take on namibian nathaniel cocololo.
In a change of opponent at the copper box arena on july 16th, the ferocious liverpool puncher will be making his first defense the wbc silver title.
He won by stopping isaiah lowe at wembley in april.
He was originally due to fight on for the bacon british title against daniel collins.
That’S right, but the scott was forced, withdraw due to injury and the battle for the ones double belt will go ahead at a later date.
Cacololo 33 years of age holds a record of 14 3-1 with six stoppages and he last fought in may with a six-round stoppage over kaisumu hamad hajj.
He won the african union featherweight title in august 2019 and made a successful defense in december before stepping up to fight for the wbo intercontinental title in june of last year when he dropped the majority decision of the 27-0 oleg malinov in ukraine.
The exciting card up the copper box is headlined by new middle-age contender, hamza viaz, who takes on francisco torres for the prestigious wbc silver title.
So there you go also on that bill by the way is going to be dennis the menace.
I can i’m sure, we’ll have more on him at a later date.
Speaking of upcoming fights that everyone’s looking forward to jake paul is about to go into the ring against haseem rahman uh at madison square gardens.
That’S gon na be uh august 6.
, showtime sports and mvp yesterday announced the international superstar.
Then their quotes jake paul will dramatically step up his level.
That is true will dramatically dramatically step up his level of competition when he faces heavy-handed hashim, rockman son of the legendary former two-time heavyweight world champion hassim rachman senior on saturday august 6, after madison square garden in new york city.
You have cruiserweight battle and scheduled for eight rounds um on the also on this uh card rounding out the uh carter separate bats and following two sports most exciting and rapidly rising prospects, unbeaten knockout artist, brandon lee 25-0, with 22 knockouts and quick visit ashton, sylvie 707 Knockouts will look to take their next steps in their accelerated development before uh, paul and rachman go at that and sell their differences and serano defends her featherweight belt.
So that’s right, amanda serrano is also on this card.
Uh who’s.
She fighting ah power punching argentine brenda la mita uh, so they’ll be co-headlining on august 6 and press conferences upcoming featuring these fighters.
So there you go, as you all know, jake paul 5-0, debatable whether he’s fought real boxers, but he’s certainly picked a real box.
This time around uh rockman, juniors 12 and one with six knockouts but they’re familiar with one another, apparently from their days of spurring partners.
So it was rockman jr who helped paul prepare for his pro debut against samsung, give which wa, which paul won spectacular fashion.
As we all might recall, be a first round knockout that was back in january 2020.
, so time is moving past all right all right here we go what i promised you as i’ve always been saying: uh, the heavyweight division seems to be a little bit clogged.
So, let’s not continually talk about uh the joe joyce’s deontay wilders, those kinds of fellas tyson, fury as we know, he’s all retired now and aj and music are coming up.
But let’s not talk about that.
A fellow by the name of ken hissner over at boxing news24.
com has written an interesting article that i just discovered and it’s uh you’re talking about the young heavyweights that are moving up and when i put young uh in our quotes uh.
Some of these guys aren’t young well, okay, they’re young, compared to me, but uh.
Let’S have a quick look here, let’s say less than 25 fights.
He starts off his list of fellows that have outstanding records and are talented enough to be champions one day.
In his opinion – and i don’t know if this is in any particular order – let me just read through he starts off with uh joe joe joyce 13-0 uh, philip pergovic, without a doubt out of croatia, 14-0.
Certainly one of uh, my favorites martin macaulay out of congo.
Originally but uh right out of scotland these days and then keeping in mind, he’s defeated tony yoka and miriam as well.
Um nathan, gorman 1901 out of the uk, he’s only lost to daniel dubois and in his last bed he stopped thomas salac and russian muhammad sulby um martin siwi out of poland, uh cassius cheney out of connecticut american, i’m in daiko out of kazakhstan bakudir angela love.
Uzbekistan and fighting out of brooklyn new york these days, though um rafael, akbar jury out of lagos, nigeria, no, but now training in miami florida, ebenezer, tete out of ghana, uh joining our boy, efe um, oh by the way uh tete’s only loss was to dubois as Well, so dubois standing in good stead in this list, i’ll bet uh stephen big, shot shaw out of st louis missouri 16-0 by the way uh ajit cavall 22-0 out of germany, and certainly my favorite in this list – jared big baby anderson, 11-0 out of toledo, ohio And he rounds out this, this writer rounds out his list uh with cash ali 21-1.
Out of the uk.
There are some comments um with respect to this fella’s article uh, certainly listing uh daniel dynamite.
Dubois 1801 he’s only lost to joe joyce um he’s also mentioning trevor bryant uh he’s also mentioning nathan, gorman uh richard lardy kyotoro fujimoto ricardo, schneiders uh other chops, uh mention uh muddaff.
Yes, crews out of cuba, nakia out of new zealand torres junior out of us frasier clark out of the uk um.
Okay, there are.
There are some names here, yeah you all might familiar with hugh fury.
I mentioned uh otto wallen fabio wardly, uh, gilai, zhang, um, johnny fisher, haven’t heard of him, justice, hooney and lauren takoli, so we’ve got who actually is a cruiser, but we certainly expect him to move up.
So there are some some heavyweight names you might want to write down, take a look at keep track of, and let’s hope that we get some televised fights featuring.
These guys uh, especially my favorite big baby anderson, he’s a he’s, a he’s, a great fighter, and i really look forward to seeing him uh fight into the future and there you have it, there’s all the news fit today.
