[, Music, ], hello, boxing fans around the world.
Thank you for joining me once again on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today, curse of our friends from across the pond at boxing247.
com.
But i’m going to start you off with a little story that comes out of boxing news: 24.
First of all, it’s about someone who’s training out in montreal.
A fight that’ll, take place out of montreal arter better, be off who’s 16-0.
With 16 knockouts will be looking to register his 17th consecutive knockout next month when he defends his ibf and wbc light heavyweight titles against his mandatory wbc challenger marcus sir brown who’s 24 and 1.
With sock 16 knockouts uh, the two-time russian olympian better beef wants to stay on a crash course, of course, for a potential mega fight against canelo alvarez in 2022 uh, the mexican superstar alvarez, let top-rank promoter bob arum, know last september that he’s interested in challenging better Bf or his 275 pound titles soon for his two 175 pound title soon anyway.
I raised this because it’s interesting to see who will be challenging whom, as we get into what we might call the politics of the day, which brings us to an upcoming fight this weekend between george cambosis and tiofimo lopez, as george cambosis is already mapping out an Undisputed clash with wbc light heavyweight champion uh devin haney, should he unseat the ibf wbawbc franchise, wbo 135 pound champion lopez this saturday night uh this by the way, is tia from tiffino’s.
First defense of his wba wbc franchise and wbo titles.
He captured a little over a year ago against vasily lomachenko back in october, and uh teo femo could have fought lomachenko in a rematch for big money but chose to defend against his ibf.
Mandatory challenger cambosos says the author of this article in boxing news 24.
He says it’s a baffling move and a total waste of time, but it shows that there are some confidence issues for tio pimo that led him to taking this much lesser fight against cambosis.
Rather than doing the logical thing by facing lomachenko in a rematch teo’s rationale for fighting cambosis by the way was that he wanted to hold on to his ibf title, because he would have stripped it dude, his mandatory defense being due um.
Interestingly t fimo uh.
Reportedly will be vacating his four lightweight titles after his defense against cambosis, making it pointless for him to take this fight.
If lopez could have made more money, fighting lomachenko in a rematch or by fighting giovanto davis, it would have made more sense to take one of those fights, even if it meant losing his ibf title.
You could argue that tifomo may have lacked the confidence to take the riskier fights against tanker lomo, so he opted to take the easy sure thing payday against combosis.
For his part, the australian composus believes a fight between him and the unbeaten wbc 135 pound, strap, holder, haney who’s 26-0 with 15 knockouts and has been featured quite regularly on talking fight can bring as much as 90 000 fans in a stadium fight in australia.
Besides the daunting task of the weaker slower punching kimbosas, pulling off a massive upset against the younger 20 year old lopez.
It’S difficult to imagine a fight involving haney bringing in 90 000 fans, haney, isn’t a big name yet in the us, and likely he’s even less known in cambodia’s native australia.
You’D think that cambodia’s would need more established star, like tank davis, to bring in massive crowd in australia.
It’S not that haney 22 isn’t a good fighter, but he’s just starting and he hasn’t beaten anyone other than older, guys, 35 year old, jorge lynas, 40 year old, uh, gamboa and a bunch of obscure fighters.
Although cambos this is clear underdog for his title challenge against the unbeaten typhoon lopez, who’s 16-0, 12 knockouts he’s convinced that he’ll come out on top saturday night when the two battle at madison square garden in new york elsewhere.
Speaking of politics, big news today so to speak, uh regarding uh the ongoing uh.
If you will fall out of the crawford versus porter fight where immediately after that fight, uh crawford dumped bob arum um.
It’S interesting to note that matchroom boxing promoter, eddie hearn, says he’s no no interest in fighting taking on uh fighter.
Terence crawford now he’s a free agent.
Aaron says he doesn’t have the fights to offer crawford to sign the 34 year old, wwbo welterweight champion okay, if he did sign crawford, he’d likely be just as unhappy as he’d, been with top ranked after failing to produce the fights he wants against spence and yugus.
For crawford a pen should get a fight with spencer.
Yes, he needs to end with pvc, but even then it’s not a guarantee that either those unification matches will take place elsewhere.
We see on other fight sites regarding eddie hearn’s comments about not wanting to take on.
Terence crawford this uh, this article says on boec.
com, even though it might sound like a good idea to many.
The newest boxing free agent, terence crawford, won’t be going to match room boxing.
Matching boxing into zone have the best fighters right now, arguably, but according to hearn, there’s no place for one of the very best boxers of this generation in his stable, it’s business says: hearn top rank has paid crawford a lot of money.
They’Ve lost a lot of money and i think that they’ve lost substantial money last weekend.
I think they would have lost massive money on the emir khan fight, so they’ve backed terence crawford, but that’s what you have to do as a promoter.
They have not been able to deliver him, the marquee fights don’t forget.
The crawford porter fight was called by the wbo, not by bob aaron.
Someone came over to me today from the u.
s media and said: are you going to sign terence crawford to continue to earn? Why would i sign terence crawford? What fights do i have for terence crawford? He wants to fight errol spence and even if they did and they may, why would they go to us to make the fight it’s kind of like canelo, with caleb kayla plant canel had to go out to pvc to make to make that fight happen.
So that’s their mental mentality and attitude.
We don’t work with other guys we’re only in-house people, then crawford might as well sign with pbc.
I don’t have any welterweight fights to offer.
Him really said hearn about his matching.
Uh company.
I’Ve got money.
Of course he wants money, but he also wants a legacy.
Hearn said, i don’t think we’re the place for him and i don’t think we’ll make him an offer because he’s very expensive elsewhere.
We see on back to boxing news 24 here, i’m bouncing back and forth, but i just found this whole story of terence crawford in the aftermath of the poor fight quite interesting because it tends to illustrate the impact of politics and egos in this sport said: terence Crawford for me, for instance, me and sean porter fought on an app espn plus there’s so many people they didn’t know how to get the app on tv.
They don’t know how to do it.
He’S speaking of an older audience, the average elderly that doesn’t get that that doesn’t know tech they’re not going to know how to get the app on tv.
So what they do they don’t they don’t buy.
It there’s a reason.
Why he’s beating these guys that he’s beaten said crawford about sean porter? It takes skills to want to do what he do.
It’S not just like a straight come forward fighter that mauls, you know he’s coming with technique and skills he’s thinking in there.
At the same time, now he’s commenting on the fact that the fight on pay-per-view didn’t make a lot of money.
Quite frankly, and one of the reasons he was upset at bob aaron and he’s complaining that it was shown only on espn plus anyway.
The fact is: porter’s viewed as past his prime after losing to errol spence jr in 2019 and fighting only once since then bottom fringe contender, sebastian, formello porter has done nothing to redeem himself since his lost dispense and he didn’t deserve a world title shot says the Author of this article, if this was the nfl porter, would have lost the super bowl in 2019, dispense being eight and eight team for melo and then was given a super bowl chance.
That’S not how it’s supposed to be, and it’s not surprising.
The boxing public chose not to purchase the crawf reporter fight, the fight was a farce and the fans knew it.
It’S funny that he came to my fight because he said he would never come to my fight said crawford about errol spence jr, coming to his fight against porter.
When i came to his fight against danny garcia, he got on the microphone saying.
I didn’t even know why he’s here i wouldn’t be at none of his fights.
I just look at them.
Damn that’s kind of crazy there’s two of my fights early in my career before i was even champion and you were a fan.
You weren’t even a pro, but now that you’re in the same division and you’re running scared.
You won’t come to my fights, i’m like yeah, it’s crazy.
I thought you were a fan of boxing, so it was ongoing.
Uh chitter chatter, between uh, terence crawford and the aftermath that fortified, but one last point here, he says i’m disappointed with former wba wbc welterweight champion keith one time thurman saying he needs eight months before he’ll be ready to fight for world title in 2022.
, wbo 147 Pound champion crawford 38 now, as i said, wonders white thurman, who’s, 29-1, 29, 28.
Sorry, 22 knockouts need so much time to get ready for a world title against him.
Of course, from the 33 year old thurman’s perspective, he’ll have been out of the ring for almost three years when he makes his comeback in 2022 and that’s a long time for fighter to be inactive.
It’S implausible that crawford who’s 33 would immediately jump into a world title fight.
If he’d been on the ring for three solid years.
Why do i got to wait so long said crawford that just shows he don’t believe in himself like he needs to uh.
It’S obvious! Why crawford has to wait uh before fighting thurman? One time turner isn’t crazy to go straight into a fight with crawford.
After three years out of the ring and fighting at roughly 60 capacity, it would be suitable for crawford if thurman bought him immediately in his first fight back.
But that would be foolish if thurman wasn’t, as famous as he is crawford, could give.
He could give him a taker or level it ultimatum by letting him know that he must take the fight with him now or else he’ll never get the shot.
The 30-foot crawford can’t afford to do that because the poor opinion – big big money, fights at 147 he’s also getting older crawford needs uh to fight a beautiful guy like tournament, because if he waits much longer, the wbo will make jerome ennis or virgil ortiz.
Jr he’s mandatory, those guys will likely beat crawford with the way crawford struggled against the gatekeeper sean porter last saturday night he’s not going to beat anna ortiz jr.
So concludes uh.
Today’S little episode on terence crawford speaking of uh legacy statements, uh up-and-comer, richard torres, says he wants to be remembered as remember forever as a world world heavyweight champion as he prepares to start his title pursuit.
The 22 year old american assigned a promotional deal with top rank after returning from this summer.
Olympic games in tokyo with a silver medal with a professional debut planned in february therese has vowed to earn a reputation as a dominant champion.
Good luck to him for the last story of the day.
It’S regarding uh, triple g who’s, breaking his silence on canelo alvarez and regarding questions over trilogy fight which are still open according to triple g uh.
He he reveals uh in an interview that a third fight has been posed by assault canelo alvarez, but he questioned his questions remain unanswered by his bitter rival, canelo elevated himself to fated status as the world’s number one pound-for-pound fighter.
By becoming the undisputed super middleweight champion and beating three previously undefeated title holders inside a year, the mexican superstar is next targeting a belt in a fifth division against wbc cruiserweight champion lunga makuba.
But one of his in-demand tasks is to finally settle his rivalry with golovkin.
So we’re waiting to see if that happens, this fight is possible.
Golovkin told sky sports.
Theoretically, nothing has changed.
There are certain questions which have been posed.
They are still open, they remain unanswered.
We have been discussing it but haven’t moved forward towards this fight for quite some time, you’re interested because he beat all the uk fighters, but it is no concern to me.
Golovkin and canelo have fought two classic middleweight uh titles title fights uh the first in 2017.
In a draw, the rematch was won by canelo via majority decision.
Those results are the only blemishes in a fearsome record.
Uh of glove can do still maintains that he deserves the judge’s verdict when he met canelo for the first time.
We thought i know who he is.
I don’t think about him at all.
Golovkin reacted, it’s isn’t something i don’t give any thought to.
Golovkin is now 39 is set to return to the ring in december in japan, against rayo tumuruta in a fight that will unify the ibf and wba middleweight titles, all right sports fans uh.
