Miscellaneous Boxing News

Loma's retirement was likely after the period of silence since the Kambosos win.

He did us proud, possibly the most loathed boxer by castecucks, at least of modern times. I reckon if he was 168 lbs+ he would not get half the grief.

The Haney debacle is a black eye, unforgivable.

I agree Arearequired. Should have made 100s of millions, but kept getting screwed over.

I would say he was robbed of a 8 figure A side title fight against Haney at worst and a possible split purse against Davis which would have been even larger but still in the low 8 figures. I think the loss against Lopez set him back further as he had an injury and had to rehab the injury and have a few comeback fights to gauge his abilities after the injury also the war was another hinderance to his ascension to the top of the 135 pound mountain as he scrapped his title fight to serve in the Ukrainian militia instead of having an undisputed title shot.

On the weekend in the chief support of the Wardley vs Huni card Pierce O'Leary had a workman like victory over Liam Dillon and the won the European 140 pound title this victory will lead to higher profile clashes for world level belts or higher profile domestic clashes. I only watched this fight in passing but it looked like O'Leary was only willing to punch what the reluctant Dillon exposed in his defense which made it look like a paint by numbers fight.

He will need to risk more to capture the publics attention for big money clashes in Saudi Arabia or GB.

As for the main event what can you say but Wardley will be in a fight as long as he conscious as his power that he demonstrated in his recent fights is sudden fight ending power similar to what Wilder had. One difference is Wilder has a freakish length to him and he was babied for years with winnable fights even when he was the paper WBC champion. Wardley has been matched tough for a pro with only 4 sub novice fights in his amateur career and while being 6'5" that isn't that long in this era of the giants.

While I don't see Wardley ever being the undisputed champion with his power he can beat anybody if they zig when they should have zagged.

Yes in my mind he is already a B side name opponent but he is still in the mix for meaningful fights if he wins this fight or at least puts up a credible fight in a loss.

I looked over the cards and they look devoid of White fighters less an obscure prospect or B side cannon fodder opponent. I did notice Nonito Donaire is "back", I hope this isn't for financial reasons like Pacman as the last time I saw him in the ring he and his wife were involved in training a fighter.

PS Donovan vs Crocker II might be for the vacated title of Ennis who "out grew" the welterweight division. This would be the first time an Irishman could claim a welterweight world title since the late Jimmy McLarnin reigned in the golden era of boxing in the 1930's.

Updating the card from the MSG theatre and this prospect isn't White but he is a frightening puncher Teremoana Teremoana destroyed a fat weeble wobble opponent where his opponent was knocked out before he hit the ground in the first round. The Eurasian(half Polynesian half Scottish Aussie) is a potential contender down the road off of size and punching power.

Many prospects look like superman against cannon fodder opponents but few have the mobility and power of this prospect with his size and length (6'6" and 260). A step up to a faded veteran will tell us more of what he is or the potential to be in the heavyweight division.

In the main event what Booth and I speculated about happened as Kambosos was dominated through 8 rounds and stopped after rising from a body punch with the fight half knocked out of him. Veteran referee Michael Griffin showed mercy on Kambosos as while there was still fight left in him the odds of a victory were looking like Powerball ticket odds.

At this point Kambosos could fight on but only as name B side opponent as former undisputed champion will sell tickets for prospect fights but I can't see him being a contender again as all of the problems he had with Hitchins will surface again against younger longer and naturally larger opponents. Hopefully he calls it day.

Vito is fighting a Pole with an undefeated record but his boxing record is filled with questionable opposition and he is a non puncher it should be a win. Kynaba is the semifinal bout, hopefully he isn't fighting the typical fat human punching bag that many heavyweight prospects fight.

The British card has a few White prospects and once again Callum Walsh is hidden away on UFC Fight Pass. Hopefully with White being a front man for the Saudis Walsh can graduate to the new Saudi financed league where more eye balls can see him. Fight Pass is so obscure that streams don't even work on these cards.

Updating the Saturday night card and Damian Kynba is still a work in progress as he clearly was beating his fellow Polish national opponent but he had an opponent who could have made him look spectacular if he did the things that elite large heavyweights do to short 6'1" and 240 pound opponents who aren't elite skills wise. Kynba never punished the fireplug opponent with a heavy jab and let the shorter man burst into his punching zone instead of stepping around him or freezing him in his tracks like Lennox Lewis, Vlad and Vitali did to an art form.

In the end he got a corner stoppage at the end of the 8th round but for a few rounds the commentators were mentioning that Siwas was begging to be stopped as he had a similar look to Tyson against Paul but unlike Paul, Kynba didn't carry his opponent he just didn't have the technical skills to stop him violently.

I missed the Mielnicki fight as the stream I was watching started freezing so I read off of the wire reports he shut out his Polish opponent. Vito could be ready for a fight with a fellow prospect but he is slowly becoming a local hero with a budding fan base so risking a loss could be financial set back for Top Rank.

Mielnicki could be ready for a faded veteran type in his next fight.

PS I missed the British card and the Callum Walsh card less the interim title fight with Yafai getting battered like a pinata by a tough Mestizo from Mexico who was a former minimum weight champion.

White is right, your analysis of the Mielnick fight and Yafai was right on. Mielnich will always be a fringe contender. Yafai took a beating and had his face rearranged. Conah Walker brutally took out Liam Taylor. Pat Brown looked good as long as the fight lasted. He might be able to do something in the CW division. A lot of interesting fights this weekend. I hate to say it, but the Wilder vs. Herndon fight is the one I'm interested in, just to see if Wilder will be as bad in this fight as he was in his last. A lot of good fights this week.

Yes the Wilder fight has intrigue because you have to wonder how far down the hill Wilder has fallen as against Zhang, Wilder looked totally shot and tentative too. This opponent would be a human target for anything close to a prime Wilder but Wilder could be that shot that he either looks awful and "wins" a decision or loses on points or gets violently knocked out.

On Friday on the Quebec based card Sulecki is the B side foil to Mbilli who the mandatory challenger to the winner of Canelo vs Crawford. The Pole isn't much of a puncher and is probably down 2 rounds to start the fight so he will need to box the ears off of the African to win a decision against the house fighter. Also Mak is back and is fighting an undefeated Jamaican born prospect from an outer suburb of Toronto. I have seen Ricardo Brown fight before and the Mak who was undefeated would probably walk through Brown but after back to back losses in step up fights I question if this fight will be an easy blow out win as it would have been a few years ago.

On Saturday Paul fights Chavez Jr in a circus fight at cruiserweight. This should be an easy win for Paul as Chavez has looked awful for years and is close to 40 now so all of the talk of him taking boxing seriously is probably just talk as I have never seen a fighter turn back the clock as much as Chavez needs to at that advanced age.

PS the Wilder PPV might not be easy to find a working stream as I have never heard of the broadcaster before so unless you buy the broadcast you may need to wait for a pirate copy to pop up on Youtube.
 
Who do you think are the best HW prospects/up and comers from our guys?

Jalolov, Sirenko, Pratljacic, Suslenkov, Jurk, Lenzi, Vykhryst, Barriere, Novytskyi, Rogava, Lacz, Kynba, Medina, Hovhannisyan, Dronov

I'd be interested to hear what you think of those HW's? ^

Just wondering after Usyk retires who's gonna step up. There's plenty of good/decent up and comers but no one really stands out yet imo

It has to be Jalolov as he was destroying trial horse guys like Curtis Harper and has the amateur pedigree of two straight Olympic gold medals to back it up.

The only problem is he could be rotting on the vine as he has been ready for years to step up to a faded veteran or a fringe contender like a Chisora but instead he decided to go back to college and get a second degree so to speak.

PS contrast the moving of the huge Uzbek versus the greener Itauma and it's night and day. I don't think for all of the violent knock outs the rising 20 year old Mulatto has I don't think he has better skills than the Uzbek but his management doesn't have any fear of him losing and he is fighting tougher opponents than the much more seasoned Jalolov.

Yeah I still have faith in Jalolov (despite the anti-white brigade on forums starting to dismiss him after one off performance). But I'd really like to see him ditch the Amateurs and fully concentrate on the pros to adapt to the pros,(he's disappointingly recently spoke about how he's thinking about maybe going for a third Olympic Gold) and step up the opposition!

Yeah at the moment I'd truthfully probably have the two half breeds Itauma and Teremoana as the top two HW prospects because of Jalolov being moved so slow.

It's gonna be interesting to see Sirenko vs Novytskyi on the Usyk undercard, hopefully one of them makes an impression and a statement.
 
Last night Mbilli made real short work of Sulecki. I would like to see him against Alvarez. Makhmudov looked like the same old fighter, clubbing Brown down, and the referee stopping it in the first. I saw highlights of Wilder's fight, not much better, except he did try to throw his jab a little more. He doesn't need to fight a heavy puncher, in my opinion.

I concur on all points as I saw two of the 3 fights live and saw a pirate copy of the Mak blowout of Brown.

I actually think Mak looked worse than recent fights but that could be an over eagerness to blast out Brown who was the equivalent of a rookie ball player being promoted to AAA baseball and sitting in on a fast ball pitcher at the AAA level for the first time. Brown had a fish out of water look until he was flattened. It's easy to look composed when you are battering human targets.

PS I remember an account of my paternal great-grandfather's attitude towards his old nag where my father stated once his old horse couldn't pull his weight he was sold to a tanner for a small sum of cash as feeding the aging nag would cost more than the horse was worth. Regarding Wilder he is the boxing equivalent of that.

I would actually go one step further and call Shelly Finkel a flesh peddler(on the higher end) as he knows looking at what Wilder has looked like post Helenius he has no business in the ring let alone staring down Joshua or a peaking prospect like Itauma, but there is a small fortune to be made off of the boxing equivalent of an old nag. After that cash out fight Wilder will be sold to the boxing equivalent of the tanner that my great-grandfather sold his nag to.

PS2 There is a master plan for Wilder and he is fighting two more fall guys before he steps up to Joshua.

https://ringmagazine.com/en/news/de...lot-more-work-to-do-then-anthony-joshua-fight Dave Allen has campaigned for a fight with Wilder. In the past this would have been a laughable blow out loss but the Wilder of recent form might struggle to get past Allen....

Updating the Saturday night card and the Paul brothers circus hit Anaheim California. Jake Paul at times toyed with the slow and ponderous Chavez Jr. but never had Jr in serious trouble in the fight. At times Jr. was landing single digits punches per round but seemed to pick up the pace as Paul faded late in the fight but it was way too little too late.

The Paul circus will roll on but who will he target next is up in the air. Junior might have been a baby step up in competition levels but at the compensation level he demands is still a joke on the boxing community for what he earns for his competition level.

PS3 Michal Cieslak violently dispatched faded former champion Jean Pacal in a WBC interim title fight. He is now the WBC interim champion and will be positioned to fight the winner of the Jack vs Mikaelian rematch.

It's a busier schedule than I thought but only the Catteral vs Eubank fight will be on main stream North American television.

If Catterall loses this one he will become what the Mechanic is on the North American fight scene a higher end gatekeeper type. I can't see him losing to Eubank who is poor man's version of his cousin but I didn't see Catterall losing to Barboza so there could be decline is his abilities but we shall on see on Saturday.

The Mechanic won on Monday but he was up against a true journeyman. The card also had Holyfield's son on the card but if the main event was a soft match I don't expect to see a tough cookie for Holyfield's son who already has a loss to a soft touch.

Probably the biggest news of the week is the fall out from the Paul fight and he is now an officially ranked fighter by 2 of the 4 major sanctioning organizations.

https://fightnews.com/jake-paul-gets-world-rating/172317As old and dusty as Jack is I would expect him to make easy work of Paul and if Paul and his camp were crazy enough to fight Opetai he could be executed on North American television. Only Ramirez is an option where Paul could go rounds as Ramirez isn't much of a puncher at 200 pounds but he could box Paul silly and stop him that way too..
