Yeah, that's one scary dude, and I do agree that he seems to be the next Crawford as far as style goes. But that power, and then he has the ability to fight backward because his opponent is coming forward as a brawler. Nevertheless, he survived and it seems that in every fight, Boots in vastly improving and it's going to be a great fight if ever he can face Crawford or Spence.


But isn't it there is a rematch clause between Errol Spence Jr. vs Terence Crawford? So I doubt that the mandatory fight can happen. Maybe the best thing is to elevate Eimantas Stanionis to full champion.

Looking at Tapology I am seeing some weird-looking exhibition boxing events I really didn't research much but it got a fighter that looks like Harley Quinn from the Batman Animation what is weird here is the fact that most of the fights were consistent of women and there are influencers and an Only Fans star, here is the exhibition event, I don't really care about it but sharing it with you guys

Information was from TAPOLOGY

Thanks for sharing the video mate, seeing the KO made me remember that Boots Ennis was touted to be the next Crawford because of his vicious power and is not afraid to eat punches, and even maybe stronger because Ennis is more swift as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, because the division is quite stacked and the champions just have negotiated for the fight, it made the interim champs like Stanionis and Ennis wait for quite some time.

Also, Eimantas Stanionis have been ordered by the WBA to be the mandatory challenger to the winner of Errol Spence Jr. vs Terence Crawford.

Yes, that's a good fight for him as he will be tested on this new division if there's negotiation and if the fight materializes
it will be an interesting fight to watch out.

Knowing how Casimero is trying to hype his name, Nery would be a good challenge for him, like what you mentioned. Nery can be possible in
beating him.

They are in 122 lbs where Nery is more familiar and can be a good test for Casimero's capabilities.

Anyone seen the much touted Jaron "Boots" Ennis this weekend against Roiman Villa? He won by a 10 round stoppage, and later it was found out that Villa suffered a broken nose. For sure we have heard his name as he is the rising star at 147 lbs and said to be the next champion and his name have been put into the discussions against Spence and Crawford.

So the hype is real, maybe him and WBA 'regular' champion Eimantas Stanionis will be a perfect match as both have been rank high in the stacked division. And as reported, Stanionis fight with Ortiz was cancelled.

Having Eddie Hearn and Bob Arum on the same path is the least of their problems because that is not the only hurdle to make the undisputed fight in the light-heavyweight division into reality. Many have been speculating that it will happen this year, including me, because Bob Arum already gave his statement last year that he will be open to discussion about the undisputed fight if Beterbiev successfully defends his belt against Anthony Yarde.

But a few weeks after the fight, the sanctioning bodes also released their own statement mainly the WBC that they will not allow the undisputed fight to happen because Bivol is a Russian boxer and the sanctions right now against him are quite heavy because of the on-going tension between Russia and Ukraine.

Hopefully this fight can happen in the future, I think Nery wanted to be in the mix for the Fulton vs Inoue result. But we all know that Marlon Tapales is just waiting in the wing and waiting for the winner of that fight and have a 4 belt unification.

So Casimero and Nery could be a good contender next, but there could be a lot of positioning as well. It could be in the hands of Casimero's promoter on how they are going to lay Casimero again as this division is also loaded with good fighters and Casimero needed a statement win so that he can be back in the discussion at least for a title fight. It could be against Nery or others in the rankings.

That would be a great fight for Casimero, facing a boxer who can truly challenge him or even potentially defeat him. It's exciting to watch fights that are unpredictable. So far, Casimero has won most of his fights easily, so it's time for him to face a boxer where he may be considered the underdog, even if it's not a championship fight yet.

We also have the fight between Luis Nery and Filipino Froilan Saludar. But it was not even closed, as the fight ended in just 2 rounds.

We've heard Nery's name popping up with we talked about Casimero as they have seen heated verbal jousting before, years ago when Nery was the 122 lbs champion back then and Casimero wanted to move up to 118 lbs and challenge him.

I think they can make it a go right now, as Casimero is already at 122 lbs. So let's wait and hope that this fight materialized.

For the Floyd Schofield vs. Haskell Rhodes, easy win for Schofield here, as he scored 3 knockdowns, but he wasn't able to knockout Rhodes for good. And the judges score it as a shutdown as 3 of them got it 100-87.

This should be the Eimantas Stanionis-Vergil Ortiz Jr. WBA ‘Regular’ welterweight title fight. But we all know that Ortiz suffered another health issues that's why the fight can cancel for good as this is the 3rd postponement of the fight and it seems that Ortiz Jr can't really fight in the future of his his medical conditions.

Of course, Giyasov should be given priority as he is rank higher than Thurman and Ugas, but we know it's about boxing politics. Both of their names ring a bell and under Al Haymon, so for sure either could be a good fighter next in line for Stanionis.

I like Ugas though, I mean he was supposedly fight Stanionis, but he went to fight Spence first and we all know that he lost on that fight. So he should be given priority now to fight Stanionis for the belt.

For me, this is just a pick fight for Anthony Joshua so he can get some confidence going with Deontay Wilder but I can not be so sure if this is going to be a run-on-the-mill fight for Joshua they have to fight back on December 12, 2015, so both boxers can surely improve much Anthony Joshua could have some really sick moves now after his loss to Oleksandr Usyk, for me his issue with Oleksandr Usyk, and Andy Ruiz Jr. was the speed they both outspeed Anthony Joshua he just won over Andy Ruiz Jr. because he caught Ruiz with that a nasty cut on round 1 this has slowed Ruiz then manage to catch him on round 7, but for me, Whyte doesn't have those so it might be a great fight for Anthony Joshua getting into the fight


I really wish there is no more politics and what so ever moving on with this fight it was really a bummer getting this fight on the table while many have seen that the fans really want to see this fight for me this is one of those fights that we might not see because of that politics thing between the 2 boxers and I really hate that and yup I also hate the cherry picking fight of Eddie Hearn for Anthony Joshua on Dillian Whyte, it is a true cherry picking situation but Whyte will surely want this because even if he lost Anthony Joshua is a great cash for him and if he's able to get a good punch on him maybe he could end up winning aswell so he might get the cash and the W for this fight but I really doubted that,

As a result of Ortiz Jr not able to fight Eimantas Stanionis as a mandatory challenger to Stanionis WBA belt, the world body has approved unanimously that Eimantas Stanionis now can choose any fighter that he wants to defend his belt.

Although he should also be in line with Spence WBA belt as both are holding it right now, but due to complications like Spence vs Crawford fight and a rematch in the horizon, Spence can't fulfill that.

The only name that I'm seeing in the WBA rankings are:

Vergil Ortiz - removed
Shakhram Giyasov
Keith Thurman
Radzhab Butaev - he already lost to Stanionis
Yordenis Ugas

So Shelly Finkel will have to decide, money wise it could either be Keith Thurman or Ugas next for Stanionis.

To be fair, all these promoters are business minded and will squeeze as much money if a fighter is not managed well. But I do consider Eddie Hearn, the youngest of the Big 4 as the most open-minded and willing to work with anyone. Although it is weird why there are so many talks about the issue of making Beterbiev-Bivol when it is a fact that the former has 3 belts compared to 1. So if Bivol is that determined, he should tell his promoters and DAZN to let ESPN and Top Rank do the job. Bivol just needs to make sure the fight is not happening in Canada and Texas, and maybe he can also demand to have the approval of the ring officials. Maybe it is not Hearn unwilling here but DAZN itself.

The sanctioning bodies have zero to very little power since they are not supposed to issue mandatories to their champions against fighters that are already world champions. Unless the sanctioning bodies secretly talk to each other and agree unanimously to do something like when the WBC mandated its champion Canelo to face GGG who was at that time also the WBA and IBF champion. Still very unlikely, because even these 4 sanctioning bodies are very sensitive with each other and besides they also do not want to put pressure on these giant networks and promoters.

On that side, where Beterbiev is already close to retirement, maybe the chance of surrendering the right might take place, Bob Arum is a well-known money maker person he will do everything to suck all the money that he can deal with, as for the possibilities, he may rather give the right to Hearn and let them negotiate to make sure that there's still money that he can collect,

but then again it will be depends from how these two handlers will communicate and close the deal, updates will be provided for sure, once there's a negotiation that take place between Beterbiev and Bivol's camps.

Bob Arum doing that kind of thing when in-fact he already have the right to dictate and demand because they are on the A-side is quite unheard of. But I see your point, it will be pointless if he will argue and make the fight much longer if ever the sanctioning bodies will give the green light because instead of getting some profits out of it, he cannot generate something if a fight will not exist.

I guess Bob Arum will surrender the rights to Eddie Hearn if things will not go in his way because if this fight will not happen, Beterbiev will have to vacate the three belts that he is holding upon retirement without having the undisputed fight and most likely, it's Bivol who will have those in the next few years after someone will possess it.

About the hype surrounding about this future undisputed fight, both names involved in it have been making some noise in the past few months especially Bivol for upsetting Canelo and who wouldn't know about Beterbiev in LHW that got a 100% KO rate. So, it's safe to say that the fight will generate decent profits but not really comparable to the undisputed fight in super-welterweight division that we will soon see.

Yeah right, if both handlers will not show any interest to settle the possibilities of these fight then it's unfortunate for all the fans as they won't be able to witness this unification fight between these two champs, more on money matter and who will adjust just to allow the fight to take place, or maybe if there are many fans to show interest and bring a huge noise inside SocMed.

The chance that both handlers will negotiate and try to settle things out just to make that huge paycheck depends on how they talk and how they will close the deal.

I think Bivol might have another fight for this year, I have to say this, but after a huge win against Canelo and then Ramirez, he hasn't followed it up for the second half of the year. It could be that he really wanted to have a rematch with Canelo but the money wasn't there for him.

So he has to move on for now and forget that payment, he needs to defend his belt. And if the unification fights come in, then good for him. So Beterbiev also wanted to have this fight. But the decision is still going to be in the hands of their promoters, to sit down and talk. If they don't want to because they have their own personal wars or what not, then this fight will be on the shelves for years.

That's what I'm trying to say, it's the boxing politics that's the main issue with this fight and we might not see a unification soon. Unless Bivol goes to Top Rank or Beterbiev moves out of Match Room and jump ship to TR.

For the HW clash, I think it's going to be a big test for AJ here, but I think Whyte is no longer in his prime and so AJ will have the perfect fight to bring his confidence back. And it could be true that Eddie Hearn is cherry picking Whyte for a potential AJ vs Deontay Wilder in the future.
