Wow! We had great fights this weekend. I was late to realize that the Luis Nery vs Azat Hovhannisyan fight was promoted by GBP since the last time I saw Nery was fighting at PBC. Now Nery will have his 2nd title shot in this division and is waiting for the Inoue-Fulton winner. Nery is really vulnerable in this division.
In the other exciting fight this weekend, I'm so glad Mauricio Lara finally become the champion that he deserved already when he beat Josh Warrington earlier. Former champion Leigh Woods might activate the rematch clause though and will force Lara to return to the UK again.

No trash talking, but it seems both just wanted to end their fight very quick. And although Hovhannisyan is 34 years old, I think he can still pull the trigger and give Nery here a good fight.
He did give Luis Nery a good fight but the referee decided to stop it at round 11. The officials see something we don't sometimes and this time after Azat Hovhannisyan was punched solid to the face twice by Nery he reacted in a different way. Ref decided to end the match and Nery won the TKO. I am not really familiar with the names but I'm trusting those records anyway.
A younger fighter with more experience I guess this is a solid upside so we'll see. I'm just trying to get more wins right now betting on each possible winner with just a few dollars to throw every fight. Hopefully, accumulate some wins based on the odds and tips from here.
I hope you did, it's a win. Azat's face is in a bad shape after the fight. He was wobbly after the first solid punch in Round 11 and he didn't put his arms up to defend against the incoming second punch. That's when he was losing his balance but the referee decided to put an end to it. There's a next time for Azat, it's better if he can still fight rather than continue and be damaged.A younger fighter with more experience I guess this is a solid upside so we'll see.

Congrats to you, I haven't seen the fight, just watch highlights though, and yeah the face of Azat is in bad shape from the power punches of Nery. But this dude is very tough, but in the end he get tired and no more balance in his legs and it's the right call for the referee.
He could still be a good contender, but with this win, Nery put his name again in the discussion to recapture his belt. But let's see how tough he is if he fights Inoue or maybe Casimero, they have been calling each other way before and this could be good match up as well.

I do hope that you have watch the fight between Nery vs Hovhannisyan because it was really a war that everyone is expecting of this fight. Nery was so tired in the fight but he was able to weathered by storm by stopping Azat out in the 11th round. Round 10 was a war, Nery dropping Hovhannisyan in an 8 count.
And with this win, I think he is in the position for a Inoue vs Fulton war and this is what he wanted, during his post fight interview.
In the other co-main event, WBA Continental Americas Super Middle champ Shane Mosley, Jr defeated Mario Lozano in 10 rounds.

Luis Nery is younger at age 28. 33 wins, 25 KOs, and 1 loss.
Azat Hovhannisyan is 34 years old. 21 wins, 17 KOs, and 3 losses.
Nery had more bouts experience even at his young age. Will definitely bet for him on this fight. He is also the favorite to win. I just wish he learned that mistake from the fight against Figueroa where he was defeated with a body shot. Strengthening his body will be a big plus for him from now on.
To be fair I do not think that there is much you can do to train when you receive a perfect left hook to the liver, it is like a regular KO in which if you are hit at the perfect spot on the chin you are going down no matter what you do, I have a friend which was a former boxer and I once asked him what was worse if being KO by being punched on the chin or the liver? And he said the liver hands down, since when you are KO by a punch on the chin everything disconnects, your head could ring and you may have headaches but it is bearable, however when you are KO by a punch on the liver you feel all the pain to the point you cannot even move and you will pee blood for days.Azat Hovhannisyan is 34 years old. 21 wins, 17 KOs, and 3 losses.

So here is the weigh in video:

I agree mate, a punch in the liver is hard to recover, the pain in sends to your whole body is very different. What makes it very painful as compare to being knockout is that you are aware on what's happening to you but you can response to the pain. As compare to a knock out wherein once you taste the canvass, it's just lights out, no excruciating pain that will last even for 5 bloody minutes with a perfect liver shot, you are just on the floor, kneeling.

Friends, I might disappoint you by saying that Bivol vs Beterbiev fight is not going to happen in nearest future. The reason is simple - Dmitri Bivol is representing Russia. In November 2022, Mauricio Sulaiman, world boxing council, has removed Russian and Belorussian boxer from ranking and dont allow them to participate. So either the war ends before their potential fight (not likely), or he will make an exception for Bivol (also not likely), or Bivol would have to change his passport. Probably both will have one more fight before they might possibly meet.
I don't think all those options will happen. Damn war and politics affecting our beloved sports. Thanks for clearing that out though, it seems like we forgot there's a war happening out there.Also according here, he has not approached WBC yet for an exemption.
Quote
“Bivol has not approached the WBC (to ask for an exemption)," Sulaiman told reporters and Izquierdazo. “At our last Convention, we were very clear about our position in relation to fighters from Russia and Belarus. And that is the case with Bivol."
We almost forgot it since it's been a year since these 2 countries are still bombarding with each other. Many Ukrainians are affected, heritages being destroyed and at the same time, sports has been affected on these 2 countries and that includes the boxers from Russia and Belarus which is a bit unfortunate if you are a boxing fan. I just hope that this war will end soon or maybe this year, and I also hope that this war between between 2 countries will not escalate anymore to the point that other countries will join the war.
I guess the best option for Bivol with the 3 options that he shares is to change his passport. I don't expect the WBC to make an exception for him just for the sake of money. Very disappointing, but understandable and it's beyond his control anymore.
Recently I have watched a short video of Beterbiev being interviewed in the airport on a return home. He has said that he is interested in unifying belts, but he has added (figuratively, not saying directly) that "a fight can not happen if one boxer wants to fight, but other dont want to fight". He did not say directly that Bivol refuses, nor he refuses to fight Bivol. But he has made it clear that it is not easy to make this fight. There is something in between. Management, money, politics, tactics. So guess we just need to wait.
Well, that's a great detail, I also think the same, although now the contracts surprise me because of the clause that they always make them sign so that if or when the fights take place, even if the boxer doesn't want to, he has to make use of activating said clause, I I am more of what they think that if the boxer does not want the other to always try to find a way to convince him, now there are many things like social networks, then there is no need for an apparent clause, I imagine that such a clause is to ensure the spectacle, but I don't see it very clearly is my way of seeing it, things are now handled on another level.
What Beterbiev said in that interview really interests me if what does he mean by that, I know he couldn't say it directly that Bivol is refusing to make the fight happen but it's already clear who he meant as there is nobody else who holds a belt in the LHW. Now even if both camps will agree to a fight, I doubt that the governing bodies will allow it or at least make the fight legal where it will be a unification fight. There's many hurdle right now between them before they can even start a negotiation.
Another exciting match will come this weekend. The clash between Luis Nery against Azat Hovhannisyan at 122.
They just made their official weigh-in but Azat lacks only a few after weighing 121.6. Should not be a big deal though.

I haven't seen any of Azat Hovhannisyan but looking at his record, he is not an easy opponent and he also possess power. Luis Nery is a very good fighter, heavy handed, decent speed and tough chin but he is not invincible anymore in this division. In his fight with Brandon Figueroa, he was winning the early rounds and was hitting Figueroa with his power punches. But once Figueroa was able to figure out his game and was able to take those heavy power punches and deliver his own non-stop pressure, Nery succumbed and was stopped. This is Nery's chance to prove that he can still fight the best in this division or he should move back to his old division.
Yes, it was the first time that Nery was really exposed by someone, a pressure fighter like Figueroa who just come forward and just want to go toe to toe with him. And when his power is not affecting his opponent, he doesn't have any plan B.
And then he gasses out late in the rounds and Figueroa was able to sustain his run.
It's interesting as well that Casimero wanted to fight Nery before but it didn't happen. It could have been crazy fight with two heavy bombers.
He feel in love with his one punch KO during that fight and it didn't work his way. So it's better to have another plan if your punching power is not working, but it's hard for Nery to adjust on that one as he was really confident he can beat Nery and overwhelm him.
So this is a tough fight for him, and I do agree that Azat Hovhannisyan is no easy opponent for him.
But he need to win badly, to get his name and win again the belt.

I agree, it is better for Magsayo to be slick, and quick and must launch a scoring punch rather than a knock-out punch. This way he can compete against Vargas in scoring. Besides not putting much of force on the punches can render him more mobile and quick. He should know when to launch heavy knockout punches and the scoring punches. Sadly, Magsayo is all brawn and not using his brain during the fight against Vargas.
For sure Magsayo's camp is already aware of those problems. If ever given a chance again to face Vargas, those problems will surely be addressed. Let's also consider the fact that Magsayo isn't really outscored in the match as he won the one judge.
Surely Magsayo has learned a thing or two about Vargas's strength and his weakness especially recently when Foster revealed how to defeat Vargas, although I'm not sure that Magsayo can use that one because they have a different fighting style and Foster is quite slick, that is why Vargas failed in his attempt. This time, Magsayo should level up his game because he will get embarrassed for sure if he didn't learn something from their first encounter.
Magsayo stated the he expected to win that match but decided to respect the judge's decision. It means Magsayo didn't really being overwhelmed by Vargas' strength. Also new to Magsayo's experience fighting against a long reach and much taller compared to him.
Figueroa has the same specifications as Vargas with height advantage and long reach. Magsayo will use his experienced fighting Vargas in his fight against Figueroa.
And if Magsayo is looking for a rematch with Rey Vargas, and so is Figueroa against Fulton. Same mindset of Mark, he thinks he win and he disagree with the judges score. But he can't do anything for now. So this two are looking for a big win in their clash.
Both are in a same mission to take back their loss glory and if given a chance for sure they will really aim for another title fight, I like he idea that both of them will be aggressive and will do all the best that they can do to win the fight, the outcome of the fight is the entertainment to all the fans who are waiting for another great view when watching fighters inside the ring.
We will know or conclude if who will be the one that will earn that chance to move to another fight and chase for the belt.
This fight will be very unpredictable for sure. Although I'm obviously rooting for Mark Magsayo, if he performs the same way as he did in his last fight, then I won't be very hopeful that he can win this one. This is a redemption fight for him since he was once an undefeated fighter but suffered losses against Vargas. The way for him to climb back up is to start winning again.
I think we all want Magsayo to win in some way, what I think is that if he has trained very hard he has a good chance, otherwise if he is training little without trying very hard he will lose, because even if it is an unpredictable fight to fight after training very hard. he can give very good results if he works hard because it is the only way to have a level.

I agree, it is better for Magsayo to be slick, and quick and must launch a scoring punch rather than a knock-out punch. This way he can compete against Vargas in scoring. Besides not putting much of force on the punches can render him more mobile and quick. He should know when to launch heavy knockout punches and the scoring punches. Sadly, Magsayo is all brawn and not using his brain during the fight against Vargas.
For sure Magsayo's camp is already aware of those problems. If ever given a chance again to face Vargas, those problems will surely be addressed. Let's also consider the fact that Magsayo isn't really outscored in the match as he won the one judge.
Surely Magsayo has learned a thing or two about Vargas's strength and his weakness especially recently when Foster revealed how to defeat Vargas, although I'm not sure that Magsayo can use that one because they have a different fighting style and Foster is quite slick, that is why Vargas failed in his attempt. This time, Magsayo should level up his game because he will get embarrassed for sure if he didn't learn something from their first encounter.
Magsayo stated the he expected to win that match but decided to respect the judge's decision. It means Magsayo didn't really being overwhelmed by Vargas' strength. Also new to Magsayo's experience fighting against a long reach and much taller compared to him.
Figueroa has the same specifications as Vargas with height advantage and long reach. Magsayo will use his experienced fighting Vargas in his fight against Figueroa.
Another exciting match will come this weekend. The clash between Luis Nery against Azat Hovhannisyan at 122.
They just made their official weigh-in but Azat lacks only a few after weighing 121.6. Should not be a big deal though.
The winner of this match will be the mandatory challenger of who will win against Stephen Fulton and Naoya Inoue.

The winner of this match will be the mandatory challenger of who will win against Stephen Fulton and Naoya Inoue.
Let see if he will win and start preparing for the title fight if, in case Vargas will negotiate right after Magsayo wins his fight.
Winning against Brandon Figueroa is Mark Magsayo's ticket for the rematch with Rey Vargas. No need for Vargas to negotiate as it will happen because the winner between Magsayo and Figueroa will be an interim champion and Vargas needs to defend his title.
Yes, it's inevitable, they might get their rematch if Mark Magsayo will win against a very tough opponent in Brandon Figueroa.
Just roughly 3 weeks of waiting and we will see the winner of that match.
And most likely they are really pushing themselves in the last 2 weeks of training, and then in the last week probably doing light trainings only so that they will not get burn out and just ready and prime for fight night.
I'm looking at our favorite crypto sport bookies and so far, no odds has been released yet.
