[ 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 headlines, creators of our friends across pond at boxing247.
com, and i encourage you to join their site and uh share along some Of the news and that they’ve been sharing with us anyway, let’s get on with the uh news of the weekend, shall we say where we saw quite a few interesting and entertaining fights and controversial decisions and with respect to the latter, that’s what i’m going to start Off with probably the most controversial decision, i’ve seen in recent days months years, the fight between richie, rivera and baruch jack uh by all accounts, richie rivera, was in fact winning uh the fight with badou jack, but had it not been for the timekeeper blowing it in The eighth round giving about a jack an extra minute uh.
He actually ended up winning so uh rivera, who came up and weighed nearly 15 pounds for the opportunity, was in control for the first half of the fight finding home for his uppercut.
However, rivera fall picked up an inexcusable timekeeper error in the eighth round.
For the first and the legal three minutes of the eighth round rivera was in control using his work rate, to impress as the on-screen clock, counted down to 10 and disappeared.
There was noticeable lack of the 10 second warning the round unimaginably continued on for an additional and illegal 58 more seconds to jack’s benefit, as he forced river into the corner and landed a heavy left hand followed by a barrage of punches rivera made it out of The inexplicable four-minute round with judges giving the eighth to jack thanks the additional time.
So, yes, that’s uh unfortunate uh set of events.
Richie rivera uh star boxing ceo joe luguardia, said richie was denied a victory and it’s absolutely inexcusable.
It’S disgraceful that a round could go on for four minutes with the illegal extra minutes swinging the outcome of the bound and the fight.
How does something like that happen on a stage as big as this we’ll be requesting a rematch and protesting the fight with necessary commission? We are extremely proud of popeye for daring to be great separately.
We nonetheless congratulate saudi arabia on a huge showgate boxing event elsewhere.
On that particular card we saw a question heavyweight philip kovic, now 15-0, who dug in deep and that answer plenty of questions has.
He ended.
The undefeated record was elijah he’s now 24 and one on one to become the mandatory challenger for the ibf world heavyweight title.
It was adam al mena who said who started off brightly from the bruce bell, looking sharp as he threw out period jabs at the head and body of zhang you’ll go over comfortably in the driving seat until his opponent showcased the power he has become renowned for.
There’S plenty of debate to argue whether the shot was through the back of the creation’s head, but zhang’s shot forced the start of a tent count.
Virgo continued with purpose following promising moments in the early stages, continuing to hunt down opportunities to the body and head with punch, combinations and freeze and pours until ugly clash of heads in the third round saw blood spill from the top of the croatian’s head.
After the intervention of the doctor to check the gash action was resumed with zhang, take advantage of his slightly jaded opponent to land some shots of his own as the two heavyweights entered the latter stages of the fight.
The greatest episode became the moisture on the canvas with time being stopped to try and manage the slippery nature of the ring.
The end of the ninth dished out another reminder that, for all the activity of zhang still possessed a genuine threat as a vicious uppercut had the croatian happy to hear the bell.
Rugovich showed his warrior spirit in championship rounds as he continued to shake off the blood and fatigue to continue to wear down the exhaust shank.
Every question asked by zhang.
It was the spirit and output that would see l animal finish on top the unanimous decision, when the scores are 115, 112, 115, 112, m114, 113 to secure a shot at heavyweight glory good for philippe.
Let’S move along to another fight that happened to take place.
I believe down in san diego former world champion sergey lipinuetz didn’t fight like didn’t fight like a late replacement, the banettes dropped and punished former world champion omar figueroa junior for eight rounds, causing figaro’s former father omar senior to stop the fight before the start of the 9Th round in the schedule, 12 rounder uh wbc super lightweight title eliminator and uh being held at the hard rock live seminal hard rock hotel scene.
I live in florida.
Sorry, my apologies.
Hollywood florida, not san diego! In a pbc event, a disappointing figure announced his retirement following the fight.
Now it’s a season.
I believe yes in an other uh about that night, alberto produced one of the better and more compelling fights in 2022, but at puella, who made history for his country becoming the first dominican fighter to ever win a title at 140 pounds by claiming the vacant.
Wpa super lightweight world championship in the co-main event by split decision puello who’s now 21-0, with 10 knockouts was able to handle the constant pressure of who came up short for the second title fight of his career after he lost the decision to mark barrios in 2019.
Good stuff um earlier in the evening hector garcia proved that his dominant win against chris pilbert in february.
It wasn’t a fluke garcia, a former olympian from the dominican republic dictated the actions divided late rally to rest.
The wba super palliative world championship from roger gutierrez.
The unanimous decision by scores of 17, seventeen 117 eleven and one eighteen one ten, let’s see a quick little recap here.
Yes in the telecast opener, the knockout artist, brandon lee dealt with serious abs adversity for the first time in his career, when he was dropped hard by right hand in the third round.
After rising and clearing the cobwebs lee relied on his boxing skills and savvy to capture his second straight 10-round decision against a tougher than expected will madera at a super lightweight bout waged at 143 pounds despite the knockdown lee, was otherwise dominant winning by scores of 98.
91.
From trio judges uh, now he’s improved to 26-0 with 22 knockouts.
By the way lee blamed over confidence on getting caught in the third turn up over confidence.
I love it uh elsewhere, undefeated middleweight, feodor who’s.
Now 20 00 recorded a fourth round stoppage over uh gilbert venegas uh, when benegas corner through the towel uh.
Additionally, ativ aberton won a sixth round decision by scores of 54 64 and 15 55 over robert burwell to improve the six and oh with five knockouts.
While brew walls dropped to nine and seven so there you go some good results out of florida, uh and here’s the uh card.
I was talking about in san diego uh emmanuel navrate uh warmed up and when he did warm up, he defended his wbo featherweight world title with a six-round stoppage over eduardo beaze and that took place at the panchanga arena.
As i said in san diego biaz is now 21 3 and 2 he’s from mexico mexico, but he appeared to be on his way to a shocking upset until a body shot poured him for the count.
Navrati who’s now 36-1, with 30 knockouts, was trailing on.
Two of the three judges cards at the time.
The stop into a one card had not ready ahead and i think there’s some other.
Yes, uh make it 30 for 30 for giovanni santolen, a san diego born welterweight contender improved to 30-0, with a 10-round decision over the previously undefeated, giulio luna, now 19-1-2 um.
It was a rugged affair fought mostly in close quarters, and there were multiple headlashes santillan and luna landed 150 power.
Shots at peace and luna landed 22, more blows, wow uh a good one here, allie walsh, uh.
He stopped reya sanchez nearly 50 years after his grandfather fought in the same venue.
Nico ali washed ollie walsh 6-0, with five knockouts, made an emphatic statement in rematch against sanchez ali walsh, who struggled to defeat sanchez by majority division.
The decision last december knocked out sanchez with a left hook to the body in the second round.
It was the first fight for ali walsh with his new head trainer, kai, good kuruma, all right junior welterweight division, then dolpho delgado is now 16-0 uh unanswered decision over omar aguilar, um in a battle of unbeaten mexican prospects, delgado and aguiar.
One of the year’s best action brawls: now god is a 2016 olympian bloodied al ghiar’s nose in the opening round, but i gear our sheer pressure – was effective delgado.
Whoever turned the tide in the fourth round landing a counter right, uppercut that stunned aguirre, who held on and stumbled into the ropes, the last half the eight round ourselves.
Alcaldo used his counter punching to offset on the air’s constant forward motion.
When the final bell rang, the result was not in doubt and delgado, swept it on the judge’s scorecards in a career best showing in the junior welterweight, sir junior lightweight division.
Austin brooks is also undefeated.
Eight no unanimous decision uh over oliver galecia uh, the southpaw hometown, favorite brookstrup galecia, with a straight left in the opening round and cruise to a shutout verdict in the junior lightweight division battle.
Number two xavier martinez is now 18 with a knockout over alejandro guerrero martinez.
Bounced back from his first career defeat with a one-sided beat down over former u.
s amateur standout guerrero martinez found his rhythm in the middle rounds, stunning guerrero, with a counter right and to the end of it at the end of the fourth and then the fifth, an Explosive flurry against the ropes, prompted referee, eddie hernandez to step in and stop the fight lightweight division.
Miguel contreras 12-1-1 uh featherweight division, alberto lopez knocked out the isan vargas, the ibf number one featherweight contender lived up to his lofty ranking with a one-sided stoppage win over vargas.
He landed the left hand to the body in the second that put vargas down for the tenth down and in the heavyweight division.
Antonio morales 5-0 knocked out khalil carter, marilyn’s overcame adversity for the first time his young career, as carter scored neck down opening round a short left hand, started the damage, but morales recovered and fought with the purpose in the second gorilla’s combination punching stunned carter return.
His back and force the referee to wave it off, so there you go an action-packed weekend, but it would not be complete without reporting on anthony joshua and his absolutely classic meltdown after the judge’s uh scores were announced, as we all know, he uh, among other things, Uh threw the belts out the ring that were handed to usic after music, that clobbered him and then had a tantrum, and that was after he stormed out the ring and then came back and grabbed the mic.
I mean realistically eddie heard her bathroom should have took that mic should have settled down.
His fighter should have escorted that auntie joshua away from the ring, but no it didn’t happen that way at all joshua, who probably wasn’t being understood at all by alexander yusek.
He probably doesn’t speak english, i’m guessing um, but anthony joshua thought he deserved the victory, but he didn’t get it and he had a rant.
He went on a big rant.
You can read all about it elsewhere, i’m not gon na.
I’M not gon na go in too much detail uh but believe me uh.
He pissed off a lot of people, including me uh, so we’re not gon na talk about it anymore and but you defeated joshua, that’s the main story and uh and realistically we might now see tyson fury come back into the ring to take on you, sick uh.
For all the belts, let’s see if that will happen by the end of the year, uh one more new story here: undefeated lightweight super rising star ernesto tito mercado who’s 6-0 has an opponent for his august 25th date as he will square off in his album alfredo Rodolfo blanco, uh he’s from buenos aires argentina mercado versus blanco, is an eight round co-main event that will take place at the hangar in costa mesa.
California, it’s a show being promoted by roy engelbrecht promotions.
So that’s good news.
For again, a lot of the fighting is taking place uh in california.
Let me just have a quick quote here to take us out.
Our plan at the beginning was to build tito’s brand in the southern california market said ernesto mercado senior.
He was the head trainer for his son.
We’Ve been blessed to have had all of our fights take place in the los angeles area.
