[, Music, ] hello, there boxing fans around the world thanks for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news.
Today, i’m going to start off with a story that emanates out of texas, where this weekend we’re going to see a fight between two undefeated uh welterweight uh fighters, we’re gon na see uh an englishman, michael mckinson, travel over to uh texas to battle virgil, ortiz.
Also undefeated now the interesting start story here is virgil.
Ortiz is 18 18 knockouts, but he did have some health issues to deal with when they originally scheduled a fight back in march anyway.
That fight now is about to happen.
18-0 virtual ortiz, going toe-to-toe against 22-0.
Michael the problem mckinson out of great britain, that’s going to be a stream uh on the zone, it’s going to be 12-round fight and it’s going to be for ortiz’s wbo international welterweight title.
So that is a fight.
We’Re all looking forward to a couple of quick quotes here.
Chris, you are friends uh.
Let’S have a quick look here, yep um here it is.
It feels great to be back at home.
It’S really hot, but that’s just what i’m used to it feels great.
I’M ready to fight it’s been like a year.
It sucks that a lot of things happen within that years, taking a full year to come back around, but hopefully after this fight, everything’s back on schedule says ortiz well, first off i saw his fight and i saw two south poles with the same styles.
It was a bit of clash of styles that he bought on that day, a completely different style of mine.
It’S just nothing.
I could take away from that fight because i didn’t didn’t fight someone that felt like me.
There was a different version of him.
Finding someone else does not really hold up.
I mean he go off.
Yes, we were supposed to fight back in january, so i was getting ready for that uh.
We basically pulled campbell right for that.
When i train i’m, like 110, my body was going as hard as i possibly got, which we didn’t find january.
So we said new date march and i think, with all those months of just back back non-stop training.
My body just couldn’t take it anymore, and this time we had no fall throughs with the schedule, and this time my body feels great and we’re ready to go so by fans.
Um ortiz jr versus mckinson this saturday night um that that’d be uh preceded by a press conference.
I believe that’s happening today.
Anyway.
Let’S move along to see what’s happening in the world of teopimu lopez, who’s set to battle um pedro campa for a junior welterweight uh may event uh happening at resorts.
World las vegas on august 13th.
That’S right! Uh lopez took over the lightweight division.
As you know.
Now campaigning at junior welterweight is time for operation.
Take back lopez.
The former lightweight champion will face mexican veteran pedro rocca campa in a 10 round main event.
Saturday august 13th, as i said at the resorts world event center at resorts for las vegas, it’s an eight round: junior middleweight co-feature uh, featuring rising puerto rican, star zandaz, who steps up in class against elias latin kid esparas.
So anyway, the lopez, campa and zeiss’s palace fight will be broadcast on espn and espn, cortes and espn plus, and that’s going uh 7 p.
m.
Pacific time, 10 p.
m.
Eastern time this is being promoted uh by, i might add, by top rank.
So we look forward to that battle, as well.
Uh said i said bob aaron by the way to film lopez’s ready to make noise at 140 pounds.
It all starts with a difficult test in pedro, campa, uh and xander.
Zeus is a special young talent, and i expect him to put another sensational performance.
Top frank looks forward to another fantastic night of boxing at resorts.
World las vegas, oops’s record by the way is 16 and one with 12 knockouts he’s a brooklyn who now resides out of uh las vegas and uh looks here, but camp is 34 1 and one with 23 knockouts he’s fading out of fighting out of uh hermicillo Mexico, so that indeed looks to be a really good fight by the way zios uh is 13-0 with nine knockouts, so he he’s undefeated uh puerto rican, kid 19 year old out of san juan uh, looking to go uh against the uh.
As i said, uh cortez who’s 17 – now.
Oh sorry, not against.
This is another card.
Um las vegas, bourne junior with lightweight contender, andres savage cortez, 17-0 10 knockout steps up in an eight-down tilt against abraham montoya 23-1 with 14 knockouts wow.
So some good fighting going down on in las vegas, oh my fighters.
We featured sorry sorry about all these add-ons featherweight u.
s olympic silver medalist, duke reagan.
Now 6-0, one knockout from cincinnati uh returns a six-rounder against fellow unbeaten, d’angelo fuentes or 704 knockouts.
So again, oh this, i keep scrolling down.
I keep seeing more news: middleweight, troy, eisley 6-0 reagan’s olympic teammate from tokyo games.
We’Ll see action at six rounds right, he’s victor tony six, one one five knockouts as he knocked out dante stubs in six runners.
Last outing lightweight prospect, charlie sheehy’s three, and these are all uh fights taking on the taking place on the same card.
Brother lightweight prospect, charlie shee, three and oh three uh makes his uh second pro appearance at uh resorts, los los resorts, las vegas and four rounder.
While puerto rican junior welterweight stand at one more rosario, seven and oh two knockouts will fight the sixth round, so a whole whack of fighting going on down las vegas coming up in a couple weeks, time august 13th, good stuff quickly make sure i’ve got that date.
Right: um where’s, yes, august 13th, i’m right.
Okay, all right, triple g gennady golovkin is lifting weights as part of his bulking up program for his trilogy fight against canelo alvarez that i mentioned yesterday.
Their clash, uh upcoming at september 17th uh on, live again on the zone pay-per-view and at the super middleweight division now canal will be defending his undisputed 168 pound championship, which he won last year after beating a handful of weak paper champions from europe and the us.
Although canal has collected all four titles – 168 he’s a champion in name only says his writer sean jones.
It’S critical that golovkin were to do one-on-one 37 archetypes needs to add size to his 5 foot 10 frame to match the weight that canelo 57 two and two 39 knockouts has put on in the last four years since their last grade, with the trilogy match being Staged at t-mobile arena in las vegas, golovkin who’s, now 40 years of age, by the way, obviously he’s going to need to potentially take the judges out of play for him to have a shot at beating canelo.
It’S going to be interesting to see how much stronger golovkin will be going in up from 168 and not having to battle hard to make the 160 pound limit, as he’s had to throughout his career.
Golovkin could be a lot stronger going up to 168 because he won’t need to drain himself during the fight to make weight.
We’Ve never seen golovkin fight at the full weight for the super moon weight division and it could be a real eye-opener in how much improved he looks.
Uh yep, i feel triple g as a really strong fighter.
The only reason i didn’t like his last fight against rayo tomorrow in april, we probably left the week of going all the way to japan you up because of a different time zone.
Yeah the elevation too.
That’S where you look bad.
We also look kind of good.
So david benavidez to fight hype when asked, if he thinks golovkin can beat canelo alvarez in their trilogy, so did he really say he could beat him, maybe be a good fight to watch? I’M sure there’s going to be a lot of people uh paying the money.
Uh tips is going to to see that fight.
It’S gon na be a good one in the good old heavyweight division.
Finally, we see a decent clash.
Uh now a matchup between uh joe joyce and joseph parker to take place uh september 24th down in the ao arena in manchester to joe joyce.
The big boy will take on former world champion joseph parker uh exclusively on bt sports box office, promoted by frank warren out of queensbury promotions and associated boxer.
That’S the o xxer the heavyweight collision between number one and number two in the wbo rankings, as well as being rated number two and number three by the wbc, will represent a shootout to determine who will be made mandatory challenger for the winner of the forthcoming rematch.
Between alexander usyk and anthony joshua, joyce is 14-0 with 13 knockouts is the holder of the wpo international, wbc, silver and commonwealth heavyweight titles.
Having recently relinquished the british, the 36 year old was the last in action against at the ovo uh arena in wembley at wembley.
In july, empathy defeating christian hammer be a fourth round stoppage, but a wrist injury kept the putty man out of action for the first part of this year, former wbo world champion parker’s 30 and two with 21 knockouts won the thailand 2016 with a point victory over Andy ruiz in auckland he successfully defended against razvan, kajuna and huey fury before suffering defeat in the union.
Vacation battle with auntie and joshua in part of march 2018.
, the 30 year old, who is currently on a six fight winning streak follows points loss to dylan white.
In that, in july 2018, with a run, including successive victories over derek dezora, both held in manchester, so fans can look forward to an array of established up and coming which we talked on display on the know where to run undercard.
That will be announced in the coming weeks and we certainly look forward to some of those names who we’re about to announce.
So that’s going to be a super good clash in the heavyweight division, we’re all looking forward to it.
We’Re looking for a good result.
Um.
I hope joyce wins, but i think parker is going to win quite frankly and we’ll see we’ll see what happens.
Obviously, but i hope they don’t leave it in the hands of the judges.
Uh vince.
The writer has this to say about errol, spence and terence crawford.
This is a fight that we, we, the fans, all want to see and have been wanting to see for a long time and but there’s a lot of politics involved.
Let me read this story.
It’S a good one: errol spence jr, 28-0 22 knockouts versus terence crawford.
38-0 29 knockouts is a fight that should have been made a long time ago, but unfortunately, fight fans have been patient with this match for close to four years due to the politics of boxing, which equates to conflict with promoters and networks.
After defeating sean porter crawford made the announcement that he wanted his next fight to be against spence.
Six months later, harold spence defeated your dinos yukas.
During the post-fight interview state spence stated he wanted to battle fox next, it seems like fight.
Fans have been waiting for this man forever, but now is the perfect time that’s about to be made, because both men are still performing at an elite level.
They’Re the two best welterweights in the world and the match would be for the undisputed welterweight championship.
Naturally, behind closed doors, they’re ironing out all the details to make this stream fight a reality, but in the meantime, it’s always interesting to get the different perspectives in regards to the winner.
This potential showdown styles make fights, as we all know, and arrow spans has one style and does it very well.
Spence is a fundamentally sound, one-dimensional boxer who executes his style of fighting at an extremely high level.
He uses his job to close the distance and then once he enters the punch zone, he applies gradual pressure by constantly moving forward and utilizing a diverse attack to opening the body and to attack to the opponent’s body and head terence crawford is an elite boxer who We all know who has made more layers to his game, he’s a versatile fighter who sees to possess more tools in his toolbox.
Crawford is elusive.
He uses the angles he fights well back foot and he can also fight for north docks or southwest ants.
Crawford.
Also, moves around constantly he’s a master of setting traps.
So, although this is a 50-50 type, fight, errol spence may be able to change the way.
This looks on paper.
We’Re all aware of the dimension that terence crawford brings the table.
What, if spence possesses that? Those same elements: what, if spence, has all those tools he hasn’t using that because his style is so effective.
That is definitely a possibility to shake up the scouting report.
What would that possibility be noted? You see what errol spence has and you see what tim’s roberts can do so, who do you have winning spans or crawford asks that writer again his name vince the writer and he writes for boxing news24.
com, some good stuff out of that website.
I seem to have been having some depth that technical difficulties over there across the bond, but our friends at boxing247.
com, where i encourage you to visit and uh, also follow up on some other stories on boxing news 24 as well um, it’s too bad about uh, the Jake paul and uh rockman fight.
I was looking forward to this saturday night.
I was really hoping that ty rockman would knock out jake, paul and shut that guy up once and for all, but jake paul, as we all know, brings a lot of boxing and new boxing fans to the table.
Although his tweets and social media presence would suggest otherwise he’s not as popular as he thinks in the boxing world, and i don’t think he’s been able to translate his 20 million followers over to the uh arena of boxing anyway.
