I don't remember if we have discussed a fight between Darren Till vs Tom Fury. However, Tom Fury pulled out of the fight and Anthony Taylor replace him.

If was a dominant win by Till, he was the bigger and sharper between the two. He scored, three knockdowns before the referee wave off the fight as it was a complete mismatch. Although there were moments wherein it looks like Taylor is going to make a comeback but Till just eat all those shots.

So it's for health reasons, and it seems though that his defeat from the hands of Crawford really took everything from Spence. The mental damage that he suffered from that fight might still haunt him up to this day.

Spence will receive a lot of criticism but at the end of the day it was the right decision to make. It was always dangerous to return to the sport after suffering that car accident. He already suffered a retina injury and had cataract surgery last year. He has never fully recovered from that accident and his physical condition has deteriorated. We could see in the Crawford fight that he is not the same. He was also beaten very badly in that fight.

And sometimes you really have to think what Floyd said before, "health comes first", and that horrific car accident might really put a mental toll on him, and he said that he is very lucky to survived the crash and has been given second life.

Fundora has a lot of options as 154 lbs, although it make sense for him to chase Spence as this is where the money fight it. Maybe he can wait for the winner of Madrimov vs Vergil Ortiz. Or he himself takes a light and tune up fight. There is also a rising star in this weight category in Xander Zayas, so that will also be a great fight for any champion at this weight class.

If he is not ready now, the time away for the ring will also affect him. If he ever comes back, he should first take an easy tune up fight to see what level he is at. I really don’t believe he will be champion again and it would be better to retire, but fighters can be stubborn and still insist on fighting when they are in no condition to do so.

Let's talk about Spence, I thought that he will make a comeback fight and go after the unified 154 lbs in Fundora. And Fundora is very much interested to defend his belt, however, Spence back out on the last minute.

Quote

In an interview with BoxingScene’s Tris Dixon in June, Spence laid bare the struggles he has endured from both the Crawford loss and a harrowing crash of his Ferrari in 2019.

“I definitely worry about [brain trauma], have checkups all the time and always … get scans and all type of stuff just to make sure I’m on point,” Spence said. “Not too many people go high speed in a Ferrari and get thrown, land on solid concrete and still be here to talk today, still survive, still be coherent. That was traumatic and a brutal experience that I went through. It was definitely serious.”

I just spoke of a possible Ryan Garcia vs Teo Lopez fight this year, however, it seems that Ryan will have rematch with Devin Haney,

Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney on the brink of a deal for trilogy series

Quote

The fighters have already signed off on a non-binding memo of deal points crafted by Saudi Arabia’s events company Sela.

The top priority to move things forward now is for Garcia to enroll in a more than year-long comprehensive drug testing program supervised by an agency he has often criticized, the Nevada-based Voluntary Anti-Doping Association.

Believing that Garcia will do so, Haney had his attorney move Wednesday to put a 90-day hold on Haney’s multi-million-dollar lawsuit against Garcia that alleged battery, among other claims, connected to the dispute over their prior bout.

So not just for the rematch, but they are talking about a possible third fight.

There is a condition though, but if they really wanted to settle their differences inside the ring and at the same time makes a lot of money because again, the powerful Saudi broker will be in the middle, then this fight is going to be made this year.

Ryan Garcia is expected to return this May, but it will be against Pitbull Cruz,

https://x.com/RyanGarcia/status/1880355301653991498

And if everything goes as play, then him and Haney will be setup in October. Also reported is Haney going to fight Ramirez.

So it's going to be big for this two, a Garcia vs Haney rematch and possible trilogy if Haney wins the second fight.

I very much like this fight and King Ry also knows what type of opponent to choose heheheh. I reckon this fight will be on a catchweight? We have witnessed already that King Ry has much difficulties on reducing his weight to 135 and 140 pounds.

In any case, Pitbull's tactic is very much similar to Mike Tyson, however, this is without the footwork and Mike Tyson's head movement. We can be quite certain that the left hook of King Ry will punch Pitbull's jaw and give him a knock out heheheh.

Yes, he really knows who to face to in his comeback, to make him good before getting Haney in the last quarter of the year. Depends though, Cruz has been campaigning at 140 lbs already and at one point a champion. I would like for Ryan to face him at the designated 140 lbs so that he will silent all his doubters specially on the allege PED used. And it will make him legit to face Haney at 140 lbs.

Tank said that Pitbull's head is very tough, so let's see if Ryan can crack that open and score a knockdown. He lost his belt to Valenzuela and won against Fierro. So he himself is on the comeback trail and so he needed this opportunity. But I'm not seeing him defeating Garcia, so Ryan for me in a unanimous decision and then set his eyes on Devin Haney.

I don't know if this is going to be in catch weight or not, but as you have said, Ryan Garcia has shows that he has problems making 140 lbs, so let's see. Who knows, there could be rehydration clause and what's not on this fight. But still a good fight, we all know that style makes fight and so I think Pitbull head movement could pose a problem on Ryan early.

Yeah, it will really be a challenge for Ryan here, but Pitbull is small so that might be Ryan's advantage as he will target a smaller but moving boxer. An sooner or later he will caught him, and maybe we can see a knockout or stoppage win for Ryan if he timed Pitbull's in and out movement.

- Another issue on the boxing world where Inoue the Japan Champion is choosing an opponent.
He is not facing Casimiro again for the world title, instead he is choosing the SoKorea #1 and WBO #11 and world #51 Fighter.
DO you think this is a good match ? The number 1 and 2 should fight for a long time now.

It's going to live up to the hype, although there is criticism that Canelo is carefully cherry picking his opponents, but still this could be the best cherry pick fighters that he will fought. Crawford has 0 lost, and if by chance he will be the first one to take that record from Bud Crawford.

On the other hand, Crawford is also elite boxer, a champion at multiple divisions, and even held the undisputed in two weight classes, 140 lbs and 147 lbs. But now he is going directly to the cash cow and obviously it will be his biggest paycheck and will try to go and set another record if he beats Canelo.

Agree to that, if Canelo beats Bud he'll be leaving a mark to his career the first loss in Crawfords entire career records, though a tough fight for sure as Crawford also in a mission not just to get that huge Paycheck but also to win another division and add it up to hsi legacies, I want to see both being aggressive a good exchanges of solid punches and combinations will surely adds up to the entertining experience for both gamblers and viewers..

As much as I want to believed that they are chasing greatness, sure enough this boxers are really looking for their biggest paycheck. Canelo is called a cash cow because of that, he used to have a huge contract with DAZN and then going on changing promoters from promoters and try to get the most of us his contract. Crawford is good but he is not a cash cow as he can't draw crowd.

So for me, he is looking for this fight because he wanted to get more money. Even his previous promoter says that they've lost money on him because as much as he is good, something is missing from him. There is this charisma, the likes of Floyd and Manny and then Canelo only have to draw fans to watch their fight even if the tickets is expensive. As for the case of Manny and Canelo they have their whole country behind them.

Good, so it's just a matter of time before we will see the rematch. And this should be the old fashion way, just settling their difference if there are any inside the ring and not going to the media or filing lawsuit against each other.

But in any case, I still see Ryan Garcia winning, maybe this time it will via knockout and there's no way that Haney can recover from that left hook, with or without the supposedly performance enhancing drugs in Ryan's system. His left hook is one of his best weapons and we have seen it crushing almost all of his opponents.

^^ I think the rematch and the trilogy is forthcoming, both of them are in Saudi and even had a picture with Turki. So it's obvious that they are working some on this fight and they are hyping it up, specially Bill Haney going into the media and sort of talking about this fight prior to this announcement.

As always, it was Turki who brokered again this fight so I'm not surprises. But I read that this fight is going to be in the US and not in Saudi so that is good for their fan base as I think that this is going to be a sold out tickets and PPV numbers could be in the $$$ millions as Ryan can really bring fans to watch his fights with his antics inside and outside of the ring.

Is anyone excited about Alvarez vs Crawford at 168 lbs?

Yes, I think even though we might see this as a mismatch as Crawford will have to go up 2 weight classes in order to fight Alvarez, this could be a very interesting fight. Both have good boxing IQ, and they can adjust on the fly depending on the type of their opponents. I'm not trying to nitpick, but I think that Crawford might have a good chance to beat Canelo by decision. He might not have the power, but maybe he can used a similar style when Bivol beats Canelo. The blueprint is already there, Crawford just need to be very busy, throws more punches that he used to, and uses his jab more and take advantage of this length. And imagine the magnitude of this fight and obviously it will be in Saudi and this two are going to be paid handsomely by Turki.

So yeah, we should be excited right? In terms of height they are both 5'8 and Crawford said in interviews that he has longer reach than Canelo. But obviously they have different bone structure that Canelo looks huge in the picture. Similarly, Crawford might look like Charlo.

Gonna be a great fight, and I do not think that Canelo and Turki has a real beef, when money talks, every one moves, so I think this is very possible for this year. There are no future fights for Crawford yet, and then Canelo usually reserved the 5th of May as his fight day.

A great fight indeed and for sure the money behind it would be huge, both fighters are known to be tough and for sure gamblers will find themselves betting to whom they think will bring decent profits, I like to see both of them throwing solid combinations, something that will excite the fans, let see if how these two fighters will try to win and earned that respect..

Just a few days after the Usyk-Fury 2 ended, many here are speculating that Fury might face Joshua somewhere in 2025, but just a few hours ago, Fury shocked the boxing world as he announced his retirement. Based on this article: LINK

Quote

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has announced his retirement from boxing.

Fury last fought in December when he lost his rematch against WBA (Super), WBC and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk.
---
"Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet," Fury said.

"I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing, it has been a blast, I've loved every single minute of it and I'm going to end with this; Dick Turpin wore a mask."

I've read the short article, and I saw that Fury also announced his retirement after defeating Whyte in 2022 but returned 6 months after, and because of this, it came to my mind "Well, he can just return whenever he wants to hence, voiding his retirement." Anyway, if this is true then we might not see a Joshua-Fury fight then.

Not the first time that he has announced his retirement, even prior to 2022, he had announced his retirement as well. I'm just thinking that he will used this so called retirement plan of his as a leverage to ask for more money as "comeback" for him. Although he might have suffered psychologically from the Usyk defeat, boxers like him would just needed some rest and then be back again.

So I can't imagine him and Anthony Joshua not fighting though, still very viable and still on the line for HE Turki. And if he is being offered money that he can't refused, for sure he will step aside this so called retirement and then go and fight Joshua later.

Yes, I think even though we might see this as a mismatch as Crawford will have to go up 2 weight classes in order to fight Alvarez, this could be a very interesting fight. Both have good boxing IQ, and they can adjust on the fly depending on the type of their opponents. I'm not trying to nitpick, but I think that Crawford might have a good chance to beat Canelo by decision. He might not have the power, but maybe he can used a similar style when Bivol beats Canelo. The blueprint is already there, Crawford just need to be very busy, throws more punches that he used to, and uses his jab more and take advantage of this length. And imagine the magnitude of this fight and obviously it will be in Saudi and this two are going to be paid handsomely by Turki.

I agree both have that great boxing IQ and in terms of staying to this sport both are nearing or almost on the last season of their careers, it's best to take a shot and make a huge money out of it, for sure there are many fans and gamblers that will be happy seeing this possible fight to take place, I like the chance of Crawford showing his greatness after moving up and meet Alvarez to his fighting division, that's for real a good risk to take, if ever he disspoint Alvarez that's another addition to his legacy.

Right, and there are really a lot of noise that this fight is going to be made, so let's see. Canelo has been seen in the picture with HE Turki in the ring award. So perhaps they have settled their beef already, but it doesn't mean that Canelo is going to move as he is asking a huge $150 million purse to fight Crawford.

And since Crawford is being back by the powerful broker, I think he will do everything in his power and his pocket to see that this fight is going to be made. Although he could brokered the fight between Ryan and Devin for that rematch.

Although Ryan said that he wants the Haney's to drop the lawsuit and then just settled everything in the ring, I think it make sense.
