If the truth is that I had not seen it that way, this convinces me that now the business model is focusing on exhibition fights, since I am also curious about Mayweather, he still has the same touch, although to be honest his style I don't like it at all, I have in my mind when he fought Pacquiao the way he ran around the ring avoiding any attack by the Filipino, after that fight I didn't follow the fighter anymore, because I didn't see him with emotion, because I already saw that he is very strategic and does not mind boring his fans as long as he achieves a technical victory with great skill, however that is accepted in boxing and it is the rules, but I do not like his style.

This will be a much better fight than what we've had last week between Haney and Kambosos, both Inoue and Donaire want to engage and loves to take offense, the first fight was exciting but this time, big things are at stake and this has the potential to become a candidate for the fight of the year I'm sure this is going to be a blockbuster fight.
I'm betting Donaire here hopefully by a stoppage, I hope he is in a much better condition than on his last two fights.

I've never seen any article about Teo Lopez being the 1 that Devin Haney wants to fight next but that could be another dominating fight for Haney, In my opinion, what I have seen and want I want the fight now wast Devin Haney VS Gervonta Davis, but that will need to wait because the preparation will take a long time to process, but if a Teo Lopez would surely take place, I would still go with Devin Haney all the way, but if they would take a Gervonta Davis fight then I am not so sure on who would I pick because that will be an amazing fight to watch, as we could see a different technique, but with pretty much close style,

And now the 1 I am waiting for a boxing fight that will take place on June 7, Saitama, Japan on ESPN plus

Title fight: Naoya Inoue vs. Nonito Donaire 2

This is a big fight for all Filipino fans of Nonito Donaire, and at the same time Japanese fans of Naoya Inoue, but for me, I am both a fan, but for this fight, my support is on Donaire, but my bet is torn between because I have seen both players recent fights and Inoue Rack Jason Moloney giving him a fast punch, outboxing and out speeding Maloney, While Donaire his fight with Nordine Oubaali,  Donaire was patient throughout the fight and waiting patiently for the right timing while Oubaali was greedy when he found the range of his left but Donaire's counter probably devastated Oubaali, so I will still be going and supporting my fellow Filipino Nonito Donaire,

First off, congratulations mate! As for me, I just watched the match and I decided not to bet because the odds aren't that tempting in my eyes but I'm glad that I didn't bet because if I did then surely I'd lose as I'm looking for Kambosos Jr. to defend his title successfully.

Haney was really dominating him each round with his specialties being a technical boxer, he didn't let the champion have a successful punch and maintained him within his reach with some jabs to keep Kambosos at bay. I've bumped into an article earlier saying that Devin Haney is looking forward to have a fight with Teo Lopez soon, tried to find the said article but I failed.

George Kambosos Jr. VS Devin Haney Decision - WIN

I have bet for Haney and from the announcement of this fight I surely think that Haney will win, and I was not disappointed, but George Kambosos Jr. really fought well giving Haney a hard time but Still, Devin Haney outboxed Kambosos and it was really a sight to behold, and men look at George Kambosos face Haney really left a red mark on his entire face, while Devin Haney just sustained a stretch from his right eye, Devin Haney was really on pace with his rhythm, getting away from power punches of Kambosos, he likely has a style just like Floyd Mayweather, Jr. but there is a different feel about it, but yeah because of that Haney was really dominating most rounds, I guess after this I would like to see a Devin Haney VS Gervonta Davis next match what do you guys think, what is next for Devin Haney,

Espinoza actually started working with Showtime even before HBO stopped its boxing program. It was funny, during the HBO vs Showtime network war as both top network executives swapped networks with Stephen Espinoza heading Showtime while former Showtime boss Ken Hershman went to HBO.

I haven't watched both fights because Fulton faced a heavy underdog. But at least after his victory, the WBC and WBO champion said that he wanted to unify all the 4 belts. So let us hope he fights WBA and IBF champion Murodjon Akhmadaliev in his next fight. It will be very interesting to see another undisputed champion.

Ogawa-Cordina was a better match up since the former champion visited his own contender's backyard. The problem is UK fights are too early in the morning in my time so I cannot watch them live. I do sacrifice some sleep when its a big fight like Usyk-AJ and GGG-Brooks.   

Well there was an upset as Joe Cordina knock out the champion Ogawa in just 2 rounds. I haven't seen the fight to be honest, it's just the news that pop out from my social media accounts. Ogawa is the champion and the odd favorite, but not by a mile. He was like 1.6x something against Cordina's 2.1x. So the chance for the underdog to win is there and so he did. It was reported that the right hand landed solid on Ogawa's chin and has to struggled to get up. But he fell down again and the referee was force to wave the fight off.

I don't think that's a maybe because it is somehow clear that this is a cherry-picked fight because if not then they should have accepted the order that Garcia should fight Isaac Cruz they didn't.
They personally picked Fortuna not because they know that Garcia could have an easy win but because his camp wants Garcia to be pushed to his limits against a much more experienced boxer with not so much KO capabilities. I'm not underestimating Fortuna but Garcia can really defeat him, although I know it would end by a decision again.

Right, it's obvious that HBO Boxing is gone for good for many years and if I'm not mistaken some of it's executive are working on Showtime like Espinoza or in the other 3 giant networks that you mentioned.

I think the Fulton vs Roman could be a good banger but Stephen is the big favorite so I'm not expecting the fight to last the distance.

Ogawa is a Japanese junior light weight champion, this is his first defense of the belt and I think this is more interesting as the lower weights is filled with fighters that are fast and strong. But I expect Ogawa to win here as well.

Oh! sorry never heard of a Stephen Fulton or Daniel Roman before that is why they are not on my radar, and right now I am focused on the George Kambosos and Devin Haney fight right now and the June 7 big fight between Naoya Inoue VS Nonito Donaire was the fight I am checking on,

Sorry, not all in the thread are interested in the Stephen Fulton VS Daniel Roman fight but you can surely open up a discussion here, or make your own thread regarding that fight, but right now is the day Kambosos and Haney will meet in the ring and I haven't seen any free live stream yet, maybe I would go and buy a pay per view instead,

Well, pretty much I am very excited about the Naoya Inoue VS Nonito Donaire 2 fight, a rematch is a proper way of saying who really won that 1st fight, I mean Naoya Inoue pretty much has to give Donaire a solid body blow that knockdown Donaire but progressing the fight Nonito Donaire withstand those obstacles and giving Naoya Inoue a scare of his life, in losing in the fight, the decision was sure to split but judging from that body blow that Inoue gives to Donaire that has gave Naoya Inoue a big points from the judges,

It depends on how Davis will negotiate specially the PPV split. The thing is that if he doesn't have a manager, then he could get a extra maybe 5-10% as that maybe the minimum fees a promotions is getting.


Garcia will be facing Fortuna, maybe another cherry-pick. And maybe if he wins by knockout against Javier, he will get back his confidence and maybe chase Davis or whoever wins in the Haney vs Kambosos.

Stephen Fulton vs Danny Roman is also a main event mate. Gone are the days when it's just HBO and Showtime running the big boxing shows and many times adjusted their schedules to avoid the same fight dates. Right now we have 3 giant networks (DAZN, PBC, ESPN) that are not scared to stage their own events on the same schedules. Many boxing fans are dismayed because it divide the viewers. 

On June 4 both 3 networks will air their own shows although Kambosos-Haney is the biggest of the 3 events.

ESPN: Kambosos vs Haney   
PBC: Stephen Fulton vs. Daniel Roman
DAZN: Kenichi Ogawa vs. Joe Cordina

Well, I guess he can stay and just add some extra touches on his style to sure solidify that it is his mentor style anymore, but yeah he sure needs to go beyond the point and declare that he is a grown man with grown decisions, I sure hope he still regains that flawless record of no losses, that he has, but I really like Gervonta Davis, and after announcing that these two is about to clash I immediately see that Davis will win this, I really don't know why or how but I think I got a hunch that Davis could surely win this fight and after looking at their stats from there I am sure enough that Gervonta Davis has an advantage,


Well, Sad to say many are mainly focused on the main events and don't want to give even slight details over other fights that are not on the main card, and actually the same goes with me because I really don't know Stephen Fulton and Danny Roman, and I think that many here are with me and speaking of the Kambosos and Haney, they indeed have a heated argument that may add fuel to the hype, and with Inoue VS Donaire I am really most excited to that fight more than other, I am curious if Naoya Inoue has upped his game or if Nonito Donaire can have an answer to their rematch or if it's going to be a repeat of the past,

Yes, saw that scheduled fight but the odds though. Nevertheless, I don't think that Inoue will go up in weight. Too early for him, and knowing that he is under Bob Arum, I doubt that he will allow his cash cow to immediately jump on the next weight unless he is very sure that he can take Fulton out or any of the champion in that division. So let Fulton battered Roman this weekend, and his chance to win are high because obviously he is the favorite.

It appears everyone is very busy arguing about Kambosos versus Haney and Inoue versus Donaire hehehe. We forgot that this weekend Stephen Fulton will also be fighting Danny Roman. It might not appear to be an important fight, we know Fulton's victory is a certainty, however, every boxing fan should watch it because if Inoue wins, he might move up to super bantamweight and challenge Fulton for the WBC and WBO super bantamweight championships.

That's the pro when you get out from the shadow of someone but will he ever get a big shares with his fights  including the PPV?
They all do have some advantages and of the have issues with their promotion but at least in boxing the fees are pretty much millions compare to MMA
fighters.

Its time Garcia to stand up too, this guy pose himself as king but cherry picking all the time. Shakur is surprising and he could match the skills of either Haney and Davis given a time.

I agree with both of you, time to get out of Mayweather shadows and put this name as Gervonta Davis and not like copying his mentor. Sure he can set up a fight to whatever he wants, Garcia or even Haney because that two might also be in his radar and it's a win-win for him and I think that he will be the favorite whoever he chooses to fight.

Exactly, just like what Bob Arum did before, all in house fight for his fighters, thus preventing us to see great fights until it's too late and that Pacman is no longer in his prime.. And then cut him lose when he lost. So hopefully when Davis goes on his own, he will chase fighter like Garcia who has been calling him several times, Haney or even Shakur Stevenson if he ever wants to go up to 135 lbs.

In actuality, Gervonta Davis Still loves the Mayweather Promotions, and in 1 video on Twitter says he is still a Mayweather Promotion baby, he has a lot of respect for where he came from and I really love that about Gervonta a really down to earth guy, and if you want to take pictures with him he will definitely allow it, for sure, and yeah I think he will still continue boxing with the people he used to work with that he surely trusts the most, while the Rolando Romero, still saying shit about what happen with their fight that he won every round, but in the technical standpoint Gervonta really is in control of the moment,


Yup! right now he will not be hindered by who he wants to fight, I sure hope he doesn't make a bad decision that he would lose the perfect record that he has right now but surely there are some boxers who just collapse from attaining a lost record and never gets back on track again, I would never want to see him like that, even if he attains a lost I wish he can still be positive about the outcome because there are great boxers who experience lost and make it as a tool to strengthen themselves, I really wish Gervonta "Tank" Davis to have a positive mindset when it comes to losing because with that he would surely become a great fighter,

He can handle himself as a free agent he is a great boxer people want to see his fights he will have no restrictions, and he can negotiate with other promotions, the one thing that these promotions are doing is they want to keep everything in the house as they do on UFC, where all fights are done on fighters under on promotion, this what prevents great boxers like Davis to fight the best from other promotions.
