You see no reason for referees using a headset inside the ring but when they do, that is something to really wonder why. There were just hypotheses about referees getting instructions from the top where they could just raise the hand of a fighter that obviously fated to win even before the fight started.
Maybe true, maybe not. We can't just associate that with a form of cheating as maybe, that serves another purpose. Although, who knows?
Generally, from judges to referees, there's really a chance to manipulate results especially if the fight turned out close.
Because of that, I remember the Bivol-Canelo bout where there are speculations that if the fight instead turned out close the whole time, judges can easily score more points for Canelo every round. This fight turned the underdog Bivol into a superstar overnight.
I think in the Bivol vs Canelo, everything was wrong in the beginning, but the judges can't do anything to reward Canelo the win so they make it as close as possible. But we have seen the public making a uproar about the scoring, and who knows, if Bivol didn't dominate the way he did, maybe he could lose by 1 point in that fight and it could be a clear day highway robbery for Bivol. Good thing is that it didn't happen because it will be worst for the judges and Canelo Alvarez reputation. Sometimes its very clear if there is a biased based on the score by those judges.
I can sometimes understand how he feels about Canelo, but he is also a boxer who sometimes blurts out very ugly and I don't know if that's what Bivol doesn't like, Bivol is a boxer who can really mark the difference, in fact, what he seeks is to win the biggest titles possible to be able to execute a unique fame plan, and the truth is that Canelo is very talkative, and that is something that does not give him many privileges or more benefits, I feel that he does not give him Pay attention because of the way Canelo is, I also see that Canelo is sometimes not very professional, and any boxer doesn't like that, because it makes him look like a very street fighting style.
It appears we have another boxer who will be very exciting similar to how Manny Pacman was during his challenges in different weight divisions. However, Naoya Inoue's mission is to be the first male boxer to unify all championships in 2 different divisions. According to this article he mentioned that he will be in the ring again on April or May! I speculate him to challenge Akhmadaliev first, before a unification superfight against Stephen Fulton on December.
He also mentioned that his body can reach the limit to featherweight.
Naoya Inoue became the ninth fighter to unify all four major titles in boxing's four-belt era.
Inoue is now looking to become the only male fighter to accomplish the feat in two weight classes.
"I believe I'm going to aim for it," Inoue said. "We'll need to develop a thorough plan."
The Japanese star will be heading up to 122-pounds, after knocking out British fighter Paul Butler in eleven rounds to unify the IBF, WBO, WBA, WBC world bantamweight titles.
Inoue plans to return on a date in April or May of the coming year.
The world titles at 122-pounds are owned by two undefeated fighters, Uzbekistan's Murodjon Akhmadaliev and Stephen Fulton of the United States - with each boxer holding two belts.Source https://www.boxingscene.com/naoya-inoue-i-go-far-featherweight--171207Compete higher. I would love to see this happen. Make history. Break records. I bet the fighters in that weight division are itching to have a piece of Naoya Inoue but they will have to wait. I mean, who doesn't love good competition and fresh blood?
"Thorough plan." Yes, he will need it as this is a new jungle that he will be up against. He may have dominated his weight class but I am sure the boxers in the next will not just give him what he wants to happen.
Challenges will pour out in his schedule.
Interesting to wait if who among these title holders will be Inoue's target to deal with and call for a challenge fight,
his comeback to formally announce his plan to move up will bring a big hype.
After dominating his current division, it will be a big challenge to him, those belt holders from 122lbs are also
excited to face him.
It would be a good risk for Inoue and whoever champ that he will challenge.
I think that we are all expecting that Inoue could have a challenge with one of those title winners, because it is something common that we want to see him in a new stage, for me Inoue is like one of those athletes who is always expecting to give his best, It doesn't matter what category he's in, he always seeks to have and be the winner no matter what, now I imagine that according to what he's seen he's a good fit with whoever he can fight to make himself known much more, I just imagine that when he starts fighting and have the same streak as before would be something like a scholar, it seems to be like that.
