He could also prove that boxers who take legitimate risks in the ring could have massive commercial upside. But if he looks across the ring and suddenly realizes he's in deeper than he's ever been and with more people watching, it might not be pretty. But Haney remains impressive inside the ring. X-factor: Even as Haney has entered the top crust of lightweights, he has always seemingly had to prove himself. Even after last year's upset win, Kambosos still has to prove he can sustain his current trajectory as one of boxing's rising stars. At one point, Davis even conceded to the media that his opponent's antics were getting under his skin. Romero has taunted Davis at every turn, promising to knock him out and taking aim at his diminutive stature. Looking at it again this morning, I figured out what was irking me a bit is that for all the promotional “GGG of old” bluster from DAZN or Eddie Hearn or whomever, that was not the GGG of old. The old guard can't avoid the up-and-comers for much longer. That fight doesn’t mean much to Canelo personally, though, as he believes he’s already proved his superiority over Golovkin in their first two meetings.
The story of the fight was the stronger and more powerful man coming forward and dictating the terms. As for the actual boxing side of this, Alvarez is coming off a TKO win over Billy Joe Saunders after he busted Saunders’ orbital bone. Uppercut CRACKS Saunders. Saunders having a good round but Canelo is landing the cleaner shots. Saunders shakes his head and gets busted up again. I’d have three people run with Plant in the sprints, stationing them at the 100 meters and 200-meter mark to help push him. But I’m really grateful that I grew up there, there was a lot of room to run around. We now have some clarity on the situation as Larry Wade has revealed that there are no concerns with regard to his pupil. Stock evaluation: There are plenty of debates about Haney's status as the legitimate WBC champion, since he was given the belt after Lomachenko was named the WBC's "franchise" champion in 2019. That caused a lot of confusion and debate that is still ongoing. For instance, if you are using Showtime PPV, keep in mind that the provider will only recognize users from the US.
It’s not a secret that the two genuinely don’t like each other, and if you want a reason to believe that, keep in mind they don’t constantly squawk and scream about one another. In the last two years, he has beaten Sebastian Formella, Adrian Granados, Chris Algieri and Chris van Heerden. The fact he's fighting Haney, who has claimed to be avoided for a few years, shows he's willing to fight the best. Stock up on those energy drinks and coffees because it will be a late one, UK fight fans! When and if he eventually make the move to welterweight, he will have many appealing matchups. As I said, Canelo often starts slow, but he's struggling to make an impact so far.

Stock evaluation: Mayer is part of the big rise in women's boxing over the last 12 months. He fought 21 boxing matches and won 21. He made his boxing debut on 10 May 2014 against Travis Davidson by winning in fist round knockout in 47 seconds.
He successfully defended his IBF title for the first time with a technical knockout. Dirrell’s defeat came at the hands of Benavidez in 2019, losing by a ninth-round knockout. Benavidez earned the most votes of any PBC fighter. With Andrade, it’s a doable fight that can be made, and Benavidez won’t wind up empty-handed again. The offer from PBC is for Canelo to fight Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs). Plant (21-0, 12 KOs), a native of Ashland City, Tennessee, wasn’t sure once negotiations stalled for their September 18 bout when the fight that he wants most would be revisited. Not to go over it all again, since we just did it, but yes, a trilogy fight with Canelo is the No. 1 target. On beating Bivol, Canelo Alvarez would validate himself for a trilogy against Gennady Golovkin, which levels up the importance of Bivol in the ongoing trend. But say Callum Smith beats Canelo. And honestly, it would be the No. 1 target no matter what happens in tonight’s Canelo-Callum Smith fight. X-factor: Mayer has already taken a key step in being featured in main events, which is a major feat in the female fight game.
