In influencer boxing news… KSI just tweeted this:
“May 13th, I’ll do what Jake Paul couldn’t do.”
I assume that means KSI has lined up a fight with Tommy Fury and is saying that he’ll beat fury even though Jake Paul couldn’t. I sort of thought we’d be seeing a Fury rematch with Paul or even a new fight with Logan Paul, but maybe KSI is the one who got the call.

But who knows, maybe if Donaire get the majority of the belts and then only the WBO belt is missing, then maybe a unification fight is inevitable. So let's see, Donaire has a few more fights in him, at least if he wins he should aim for another belt in this division.
Correct. The unification fight is the only way now for Nonito Donaire Jr. to face Jason Moloney in the future.
That's it if both boxers will able to achieve their respective target of getting the belts, the WBC title for Donaire, and the WBO title for Moloney. But anyhow, Donaire seems just ready for whoever he will face in the future because his time is running out now. As long as he keeps continuing to win, that's what matters.
Once he loses a fight from now on at this point of his career, I'm sure he will now retire.
Yes it was clearly a duck to me as well, how him and Top Rank try to avoid Donaire at all cost and just hiding on their own reasons like doesn't want to work with Probellum, Donaire's promotion but in the past did they that.
After all, Nonito Donaire is still considered a threat in the Bantamweight even after being beaten by Naoya Inoue as the Japanese are really on the highest level at 118 lbs and no one can beat this guy. Top Rank once again spoiled another big fight in the Bantamweight as they clearly ducked their boxer, Jason Moloney to fight the old Donaire who still has the speed and strength.
I hope that Donaire will win the fight and claim the WBC title in order for the boxing council to somehow mandate title defense against top-ranked boxer in their list and that includes Jason Moloney. Top Rank will surely be forced to accept the deal. But the longer they are doing delays, the older Donaire is getting to.
That's for sure, the longer the delay the chance that Donaire will retire first before the fight will take place, they are avoiding him since he really can still do the damage even at his age, I'm hoping that he will get the belt and have a title defense or another couple of fights before deciding to retire is gloves.
Let see what will future will dictate to his career and how he can push his way back being a title holder.
But if Moloney loses his fight against Astrolobio, then I don't see him fighting Donaire next.
He will have to back as challenger for the champions of any governing body as the fight has been settled as to who is going to fight who for the belt. So it's a one time chance for this boxers to win that vacated belt.

Not sure though mate that is going to happen, Jason Moloney now targets the WBO belt and he has been dropped by the WBC in their rankings (maybe this is because he refused to fight Donaire).

Ok we have a new order for the IBF bantamweight,
it will be Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Melvin Lopez as ordered by IBF. So everything has taken shape now since Inoue has vacated all the belt.
Donaire vs Santiago, (WBF)
Astrolobio vs Moloney (WBO)
Takuma Inoue vs Solis (WBA)
So that's what the bantamweight will look like for this year and the vacancy will be filled by this fights.
it will be Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Melvin Lopez as ordered by IBF. So everything has taken shape now since Inoue has vacated all the belt.
Donaire vs Santiago, (WBF)
Astrolobio vs Moloney (WBO)
Takuma Inoue vs Solis (WBA)
So that's what the bantamweight will look like for this year and the vacancy will be filled by this fights.
Well sounds fair, well they sure did give a fight to Nonito Donaire, and the Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Melvin Lopez fight is a mandatory one, the IBF has ordered the two to fight, so they have no choice but to pick their opponent, but it is a chance for them for the vacated belt,
The Nonito Donaire VS Alexandro Santiago fight was for the vacant WBC bantamweight belt, which is exciting to see a Filipino could hold the belt again, well if Donaire would win that fight, it is good to see how eager Nonito Donaire in getting a belt
While Jason Moloney VS Vincent Astrolabio fight I don't know but I have recently seen an article that this fight has been canceled by the IBF, I will find the article again, but this will be a chance for Moloney to come back, and be relevant again,
Here are my quick pick almost full picks for the Figueroa vs. Magsayo event
Brandon Figueroa VS Mark Magsayo
Jarrett Hurd VS Armando Resendiz
Amilcar Vidal VS Elijah Garcia
Terrell Gausha VS Brandyn Lynch
Enriko Gogokhia VS Samuel Teah
Justin DeLoach VS Travon Marshall
Daniel Blancas VS Kynndale Prather
Anthony Cuba VS Darel Harris
Technical defensive boxers are always boring to watch because they seldom to be the first one to engage. It is boring as hell of two technical defensive player fight because all we see is an idle time of waiting and waitng looking for an opportunity for a counter punch which is likely to happen between two defensive player. Counter puncher is sure good to watch but it needs an aggressive opponent.
Technical boxers that do not engage are some of the most fun imo because they are counter punching which is more effective for knocking people out because they catch their opponent off guard. It takes a lot of skill to be a counter puncher because you have to be prepared to get hit and then throw a punch and some of the most successful boxers of all time are counter punchers. Floyd Mayweather is a defensive boxer who uses foot work and counter punching and he has built 1 of the largest fan bases in boxing and it is why he is worth so much money. Ok we have a new order for the IBF bantamweight,
it will be Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Melvin Lopez as ordered by IBF. So everything has taken shape now since Inoue has vacated all the belt.
Donaire vs Santiago, (WBF)
Astrolobio vs Moloney (WBO)
Takuma Inoue vs Solis (WBA)
So that's what the bantamweight will look like for this year and the vacancy will be filled by this fights.
And it's good to see at least 2 Filipino on that list, Donaire and Astrolobio vying for the vacant belt in the bantamweight. There is still one, Reymart Gaballo, but for sure he will get the first crack on the belt since he is also a rank boxer in bantamweight. Might be hard for Filipinos to make it 2-0 here, specially Astrolobio who is facing Jason Moloney.it will be Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Melvin Lopez as ordered by IBF. So everything has taken shape now since Inoue has vacated all the belt.
Donaire vs Santiago, (WBF)

Now it's clear, Moloney ducked the fight against Donaire because he is afraid to have another loss against another Asian boxer who do have a strong KO power. Now he is taking his chance to have the WBO belt against another Asian boxer who is also fellow countryman of Donaire, but I don't think he will just have an easy journey towards the belt because Astrolabio also got a decent chance and is also hungry and been waiting for this chance to come.
Yes it was clearly a duck to me as well, how him and Top Rank try to avoid Donaire at all cost and just hiding on their own reasons like doesn't want to work with Probellum, Donaire's promotion but in the past did they that.
In any case, they might underestimate Astrolabio here, maybe they thought it's going to be an easy fight for them. But they forget that he is also a Filipino with a big heart and he had a good chin as well. So expect this also to be a war for Moloney. And he could end up bloodied as he is known to be cut very easy, so not an easy fight for him and maybe Vincent can pull an upset here.

Well, for me, Floyd Mayweather is not such an iconic boxer, I am sure that many know well who Pacquiao is before him, I cannot deny, he is a very intelligent boxer, he knows how to handle fights in a totally technical area very well, but sometimes Sometimes that is something that is boring, we as fans want to see more action, we want to see technique and we want to see what they are capable of, that they reach the limit, maybe things are getting more demanding for this type of boxer.
I know what you feel and that vibe is the same with many boxing fans. It's true that he's a living legend and he's got a good and clean record but he's not really an icon to many. I don't know maybe that feels about how he's interacting with fans and the charisma isn't just the same with other real icons that we can say like Pacquiao, Marquez, and other boxers that have been knowing for the past years. And it even made his reputation lower when he's doing some exhibition matches as it's intended to make money just as his alias.many boxing fans want real toe-to-toe fight inside the ring. and mayweather's technique is not like that, he is indeed on the technicalities wherein as a boxing audience, you will see him running away from his opponent but only care for the points he will make. i also don't like this kind of boxer. much better if he will give a real fight just like pacquiao. every boxing fan has their own take on this matter. but imo, a true legend is not afraid of having a loss in his record.

Counter puncher is sure good to watch but it needs an aggressive opponent.
Mayweather seems to retain his amateur traits of scoring points but I think Mayweather is a very intelligent fighter, he will cowers on his variation of philly shell defence if he think his opponent can KO him but plays aggressive when he knows he can take the punches of his opponent.
It's not that surprising anymore that the boxing community got more likes towards Manny Pacquiao because the man was rare, even the boxing experts are in awe seeing his greatness because who could've expect that a guy like him can still bring his talent and brute strength from 112 to 147 and became an 8-Division World Champion. Besides, if we compare Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao which was a hot topic in the past years, Mayweather fans can only provide his unscathed record because of his technicalities but for the latter, there's too many factors to show and one of that is, Manny Pacquiao didn't ducked anyone.
Manny fight is exciting because Manny Pacquiao always play aggressive. He often times initiate attack and would love to exchange punches with his opponent. Manny's defense is parry and evasion and always on the counters whenever his oppnent throw punches.

Like you, that's the reason I really like Pacquiao as he's not afraid in staking whatever he had as long as he will give the entertainment to all his fans and people who supporting him, Mayweather's strategy works well with him as he was able to keep his record clean and established billions of dollars in his entire career.
Something that might newcomers will follow, especially to those who wanted to bring more fortune while still capable of fighting and win fights.

No talk of the Usyk vs Tyson Fury fight I guess it has been cancelled? I thought the date for the fight was suppose to happen in April and we just entered march. We usually find out the contract details and venue a few months in advance. I wonder if this fight will ever happen because there was lots of talk about it at the end of last year and now there is no talk at all. I want to see Usyk get a big pay day because he deserves it. He was the best fighter in the lower division and he is a nice guy who is trying to get this fight to happen but Fury and his team are money grabbing again.

The brother of Inoue is also in that list, so maybe he can take that belt and continue to bring it in Japan if he wins against Solis, although this fight is going to be held in their country as well.
I think though that if ever Floyd will have to unwind his career fighting...
the guy is 47 years old, it's already a very old age knowing that the lifestyle of these guys is a lot of sex, drugs, alcoholic drinks, sleepless nights, I think he's about time to retire from Boxing even for fights exhibition, because in one day he could arrive at an exhibition fight and suffer a blow that could harm his health. according to a google search I did, the guy has a fortune of $450 million, with that money he can live well until death, even if he continues with his lifestyle
I don't know if he can do well in other areas besides Boxing, maybe being a Boxing trainer for new talents would be a good option for him, he wouldn't stop doing what he likes, he would be helping people who want to have a future in Boxing and he could also continue in the same Boxing environment, but as most of these Boxing guys are greedy, they prefer to be promoters or agents of some rookie fighter to earn a lot of money thanks to the rookie who has talent, greed has already corrupted the hearts of many fighters famous, the guys forgot humility a long time ago, they already have so much money, but they refuse to retire until they create exhibition fights
Not sure about Floyd though, so we are not sure if he is drinking or taking drugs. Because if we look at it, seems to be taking his health seriously. As what his motto is, "Health comes first". And this might be the reason why he stays on top and never lost to the best of them.
He has promotion called TMT, "The Money Team", and he has the Mayweather promotions, so he has the experience already outside of boxing. Not sure if he still greedy or maybe he is, because he has an estimated net worth of about $1.1 Billion.

I've seen that fight of his when he wasn't having that toe-to-toe fight against Pacquiao and I think that has triggered a lot of fans. Well, it's part of his training and strategy and we have to understand that it's part of the sport where their foot work can be used to flee and avoid to have an intense fight. It's also a way for him to look for some opportunity to knock down his opponent like in his situation against Pacquiao. Many fans don't like him but that's how he box and that's allowed by the rules so, there's nothing to do much with that hate and still at the end of the day, he's still the undefeated. - I'm not a fan of his.
