[, Music, ] hello, there, boxing fans around the world.
Thank you for joining me once again on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today here on monday morning.
Obviously i haven’t had a coffee yet, but uh here we go.
I want to start off with a quick little recap of the uh canelo triple g fight over the weekend.
Uh.
You know my opinion on this is it’s just seemed to me to be like an all-star game in any professional sport uh.
Both athletes technically well-honed well skilled, put on a nice performance.
At the end of the day.
They both walked away with the paycheck, a substantial paycheck for their efforts.
As we all know, uh triple g is 40 years old.
He’S never been knocked down and saw.
Canelo alvarez has had a spectacular career, uh, well, guided, well managed and looking at a 58 2 and 2 record and couldn’t knock down a 40 year old.
So, let’s get on with today’s episode, um, starting with that particular um fight, um i’ll just i’ll.
Just simply say this um a top of the gloves in mutual respect in round 11, which was the prelude to both opening up a booming rate.
Uppercut from canelo found the mark answered by jabs and combinations from golovkin a grandstand finish, but several clinches, as both had expended a lot in a more strategic fight than their first two battles so really in.
In my opinion, it was the trilogy fight that wasn’t um.
You know canelo walks away with over 40 million dollars for his efforts, triple g walks away 20 million for his efforts uh, it was a weekend celebrated down in las vegas as the mexican independence day and uh.
Quite frankly, the the fans were entertained um, but we were really looking for a much more solid performance from both alvarez and triple g.
Let’S move along uh because i think triple g should retire quite frankly and that’d be interesting to see who uh alvarez is going to face next.
Someone who we’ve featured before and talk and fight lucy wildhard young lady making her long-awaited return to the ring.
Uh has reignited her career with a victory over spain’s eva cantos that happened on saturday night and kicked off lucy’s campaign toward a world featherweight title so she’s, actually looking forward to fighting the winner of the upcoming amanda serrano and sarah mahut, a food fight, that’s taking Place in manchester this upcoming weekend, um lucy wildhardt is a world top 10 uh rated 29 year old and she’s, targeting, as i said, the winner of the world, featherweight unification showdown between surrounding foot.
So anyway, uh.
Let’S have a quick little recap: uh from her manager.
Her new manager, richard maynard ceo, of strike sports management.
He said it was.
It was great to see lucy back in the ring and resume her career with a victory over a tough and hard opponent in cantos.
I was very impressed with her jab fast feet, head movement and particularly her hurt for body punching.
It was like she hadn’t been away from the ring.
This is a great foundation to build upon and i’ll be looking to get back in her ring in the next few weeks as she intensifies her campaign toward a world title opportunity.
So good things.
I i think, on the horizon for uh lucy wildhart, all right, um channel 5, put on a show for the brits uh on the weekend taking place in bolton where king lyndon arthur returned to winning ways, as he showed the audience what they had been missing.
After controlling proceedings from the first bell, arthur showed his extra spite as he meticulously broke down a tough walter sakira to eventually finish his argentine opponent off in the sixth round under the bright lights in bolton.
It was a professional job done by arthur, as he showcased his superior skill and strength, the the power and the variety of his work put zakira in waters.
He simply could not swim in on his debut of wasserman boxing fight nights.
It was the perfect performance to start off his journey with a promotion that will see him continue to make his way to the top of the light heavyweight division.
The eyes turned to the northeast during the night as trojan troy williamson bullied david benitez to a six-round stoppage to avoid the banana skin and set up a huge northern clash with pbk josh kelly.
The british super welterweight title will be on the line in december against kelly in what promises to be one of the biggest fights to come in the northeast over in the united kingdom.
Gavin guin retained his british light lightweight title with an unbelievably entertaining draw against craig woodruff.
The momentum of the bout often changed from one fighter to the other and ultimately became too close for the judges to try and call a winner.
Both men sean as the two welsh fighters represented their country and support in a fight that split the crowd regarding who had won, but unanimously captivated all.
Let’S move along to mexico, where boxing fans celebrating, as i said earlier, mexican independence day uh as world boxing council wbc number 20 rated louis coriano torres 17-0 10 knockouts, outbox and outclassed previously unbeaten fellow mexican lightweight prospect cesar uh torito guerras who’s 14 1-2 in the Canela boxing sorry canelo boxio main event presented by canelo tv at the expo palenque in sonora mexico.
He was co-promoted by world cup, boxing services, wcbs and uh de la hope, promotions, canelo, boxier, streamed, live and for free.
The third friday night of every month, um the 20 year old torres, the reigning wbc latino lightweight champion, displayed all of his skills in a relatively one-sided fight against guiterrez, in which torres won nine of the ten rounds in the non-title fight uh.
What a great night of fights uh said: uh guy taylor, i’m sorry yeah yep! Sorry, i’m right! Am i right! Guy taylor, yes, said: guy taylor um after after the show uh.
This was louis torres his finest hour and coming up the performance he dropped and dominated previously undefeated 14-0 fighter.
Our next step for torrez will be bringing him to southern california for a full training camp.
So there’s a kid that said: that’s on the rise, certainly uh elsewhere, on that fight card, colombian knockout artist, kevin pedrajita, seven and one seven knockouts stopped previously undefeated marco kota eight and one six knockouts in the fifth round by way of technical knockout in the co-featured Event: uh late replacement, ernesto garcia, five and two five knockouts upset his previously undefeated honduran opponent, gerardo sanchez in uh, six and one three knockouts with a shocking opening and uh shopping open around stoppage in their special light.
Flyweight attraction koda’s younger brother, as i mentioned last week, 17 year old featherweight alejandro kota, is now three in one also suffered, though his first loss as a professional boxer, dropping a fourth round unanimous decision to alex fuentes, bourbon who’s.
Now, three and oh, by the way in the opener pedro appointeniri uh threeno, took a four round nyan’s decision from jose alfredo martinez.
So that’s all your action from sonora mexico as part of the canelo boxio monthly event uh.
Speaking of a little bit of controversy, though, in mauricio lara’s team, they only know that lee wood suffered an injury and had to postpone his fight originally scheduled for september 24th.
But nobody has provided any evidence or a time frame for when the fight could be rescheduled.
Alejandro brito operations, director for box stars promotions, which handles lara’s career, revealed that they were not provided with details about the injury.
Uh two woods biceps, which put a hold on the fight for wood’s wba featherweight, title uh bruto complained he’s as he told his care dazzle tv.
They didn’t tell us anything.
They just told us that leewood is injured and that they would give us a call later and offer details, but we haven’t received the call.
Yet they haven’t told us anything and we just want to know how much time would we’ll need for his recovery.
They just told us that he is injured and we’d have to play by those rules and we have to believe what they said.
But the thing is that lara will not fight on september 24th.
He continues, they told us, it was uh wood’s biceps, but we don’t know if it’s just a stretch or a tears biceps.
If it’s a full rupture he’d be out for six months.
It’S just a tear, then possibly for a fight to be done.
Around year’s end, um burrito by the way, is in las vegas, where he hopes to speak, daddy, hearn or matrimonial executives about the fight matrimony continues, didn’t give us any pronunciation.
We are waiting for them to give us confirmation.
I wish we could have a little talk with them here in las vegas and know.
What’S the plan or time frame at least something that i can tell lara for him to calm down alejandro britta once to believe that the injury is real, is not an excuse from leewood’s side as just to run away from the fight, so brito explained, i believe, And we believe in their honesty, because we know that he would was not going to say i don’t want to fight.
If such was the case.
They would have said that since the beginning that there was a risk or that they didn’t want to face the danger, because lara is very strong, but the contracts are signed, he would has no option but to fight lara when wood is recovered, he has no escape.
He has to fight we’re in a dramatic pause in which we, as a manager.
I have to tell my fighter to wait to be patient.
I don’t know when what to tell them, because the other side has not shown their face.
Yet we don’t know if we’ll be back in three four six months really mauricio laura of isbart shares brito’s disappointment about the postpone of the fight.
His first world title opportunity long awaited since he knocked out josh warrington in a surprising fashion.
Back in 2021, the rematch with warranty ended in a technical draw after an accidental head clash in just two rounds uh, but instead of a third fight to have a revolution that rivalry warrenton got an opportunity to fight for uh, kiko martinez, i’d be a featherweight title And won by technical knockout lara had to wait and finally got a shot for lee with w8 title, but now with wood’s injury, he has to wait again to tell you the truth.
Lara said i felt disappointed.
There are situations that just don’t happen.
Maybe it’s not my moment, things happen, but we know that everything happens for a reason mentally it’s a blow and we we, you know how to assimilate, but emotionally is hard.
The cancellation just 10 days before the fight is something that hurts we completed three months.
Three months worth of work, but those are things that happen in boxing i didn’t see anything he didn’t post anything on social media lara point out like when i fought with warrenton when he posted that he was in the hospital.
I trust woods, honesty, we’ll see what happens.
I trust in his honesty.
I wish he in a speedy recovery.
I hope the fight is still in place.
I hope he has the courage of a champion the determination to prove himself and we will know if the injury was real or it was a lie.
Strong words upcoming uh in december, we’re going to see troy williamson face josh kelly, as i mentioned earlier, they’re going to collide in a british title fight that fans have been craving for williamson put his super welterweight crown on the line against former amateur star kelly in December on a massive fight at boxing back in newcastle, the first champion overcame david ben benitez in bolton uh this past weekend to rubber stamp the title showdown with a date and vending to be confirmed in due course.
In other upcoming fight news um, i wanted to report that uh we’re gon na see um uh shakur stevenson.
