^^ And if I'm not mistaken, Jerwin is under MP so definitely Sean Gibbons will have to work double card to bring Jerwin's name in the mix again in this new weight class. And most likely, he has gotten over his lost against Martinez and moving forward to his career. No need to dub himself with that 2 losses, what's important is that he was able to win and make a statement comeback win.
So far I have checked his rankings, #8 on WBA and #9 on IBF.
Doesn't matter if he will have to face another Filipino champion or to become a champion. They are campaigning in the same division so obviously at some point they will have to fight, like Donaire vs Gaballo.

Not sure if we have discussed Jerwin Ancajas comeback fight this weekend as he will move up to 118 lbs and will fight a tune up fight against Wilner Soto in his new division.
Ancajas has been a great champion at 115 lbs defending his belt 9 times until he met Fernando “Pumita” Martinez in which he lost 2x. So it's obvious that his body can't take 115 lbs and so they decided to go up now at bantamweight division.

Soto is 13:1 underdog here.

Soto is 13:1 underdog here.
I am more interested in the main event where Fernando Martinez will once again defend his belt against another Ph contender Jade Bornea. The champion though remains the favorite.
Hopefully, Ancajas can show some signs that he is still an elite fighter. The division is starting once again after Inoue's ascension to 122. Ancajas was a long-time champion but I felt like he could've done more by unifying his belt or facing the other top fighters of the division. He was a champion and the division was rich with stars like Roman Gonzales and Juan Estrada.
We all hope that Ancajas will perform well in his new weight division but I am somehow hesitant to believe that he will do better in this new division. With his last two match they keep on blaming the weight but I do not think it is the reason why Ancajas losses. He is simply outmatched by Martinez. Honestly I also thought that the weight is the reason why Ancajas lost to Martinez but the rematch proves that it is not the case.
He won already, he knockout Soto, he drop him twice and then referee stop the contest in the 5th round. It's obvious that this is a tune up fight for Jerwin to somewhat bring back his confidence again after a back to back loses to Fernando Martinez.
So all is not lost to the Filipino former champion, I think he is still in his prime at 31 years old. And probably fighting at 115 lbs and defending it nine times might have a affect on his body as it can no longer commit to that weight. So good move by him to go up in weight class and then fight a journey man to somewhat have his belief that he can still pull the trigger and fight and knockout anyone.
Nice start after deciding to move up, though like you mentioned seems that a cherry pick fight for Jerwin to bring the confidence back and try checking his capabilities in this new division, I think if by chance he might hype his name and engaged with the fans and promoters, who knows he can climb quickly and make another fight to bring him to a challenger level.
We know that if there's a chance of making a decent amount of money, promoters can do things accordingly.

At least it's 1-1 in that fight, Ancajas won but Bornea lost against Martinez. So definitely Ancajas could be be back in the limelight in this win. His opponent is not that great though, but it's enough for Jewin to be in the win column and maybe MP could set him up for another rank fighter so that he will slowly go up in the rankings again. And if he is lucky enough, he could be given another chance to fight for the belt. I think he can also go as high as 122 lbs if his frame is too big for the bantamweight of 118 lbs although this division is crowded with Filipinos trying to become a world champion.
Yes, it will not be a Sunday morning as we usually watch during fights from the US. This is going to be held in Japan to there is a big time difference. Nevertheless, we can still watch it live, for those who are going to bet on this fight, for sure they are going to wait for it.
There are a lot of boxing this weekend, like the up and coming Berlanga against Quigley.
I'm interested to see this fight as both wanted to break into the limelight specially Berlanga who says that his dream fight is GGG or Canelo.
And Kazuto Ioka won by points. There are a lot of boxing this weekend, like the up and coming Berlanga against Quigley.
I'm interested to see this fight as both wanted to break into the limelight specially Berlanga who says that his dream fight is GGG or Canelo.
Unanimous decision: 115-113, 116-112, and 116-112. That's nice. The scorecards are almost the same and I believe all judges have good eyes.
Six titles in four weight divisions. Wow. That's a record for Japan.
Ioka actually started slowly while Franco have an aggressive start. But when he is all warmed up, the pace suddenly changed and he bombarded Franco with lots of accurate punches.
I really thought Franco will have the upper hand after that weight issue that he could not cut. He is heavier and his punches will be heavy too, but I think Ioka did a great job at knowing it will also slow Franco down. The cut in his eye may have also changed Franco's accuracy. Good fight.
I missed the Berlanga against Quigley. Is it still happening now?
I am watching Adames versus Williams now at round 8 but I forgot to place a bet.
Edit: Ref stopped it. Why?! Williams is still punching. Adames won!
Yeah, there was a time he was trying to survive but the time it was stopped, he was punching. Wrong timing for a stoppage from the ref. There was a window for it but he already missed it.
Berlanga winning by decision, however, he was able to knock down Quigley, so it was a dominating win for the young boxer, Scores of 116-108, 116-108 and 118-106. And since Canelo has left Matchroom, who knows, maybe Bivol wil be next for Berlanga?
I do agree, on the Adames vs Williams stoppage, too early by the referee, so another controversial decision by the 3rd man in the ring.
Although it just moot probably, as Adames is ahead on the 3 judges scorecard.

Unfortunately, Bornea was not lucky against Martinez as he has lost the fight as the referee step up and halt it because of too much blood from from his lacerated right earlobe.
And Martinez just started to plummet the Filipino here, and at the time of the stoppage, Martinez is ahead on the judges scorecard.
With that win, he successfully defended his belt against his mandatory. Nothing to be ashamed on Bornea though, he has given everything in this fight and showed big heart but Martinez is really highly skilled and just too much aggression.

I don't think GBP is the kind of production that wants to end up in court. This is just for their defense in case Valencia does something surprising.
But this is a big misunderstanding when it comes to Ryan Garcia and the GBP people. He is hurt, and if I remember correctly I posted it here about the drama he said that "no one is there" when he lost.
And I think a part of it is both Oscar De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins didn't attend that post-fight press interview. According to the news.
I think both Garcia and GBP can fix this, but the attorney will have some issues.
I think you are right This can easily be solved and GBP and Ryan Garcia are likely both can be reason with and likely Ryan Garcia is just hurt and this is a big misunderstanding but I think I have said that wish this will be resolved peacefully or maybe they can be friends again somehow, but hat lost that Ryan Garcia attain is likely heavy for him he still wants to be undefeated but for me, it is better to aim for the belt than to have a perfect record than to be afraid to make a mistake throughout your entire boxing career, I should say Ryan Garcia badly needed this experience,

For the case of Casimero in which we have been discussing, the burden is on his side. If Inoue wins then most likely it will be Tapales for unification. And so with that, Casimero needs to make a move by fighting rank boxers. That's the only way that Inoue will be interested on him, if he still can proved himself at 122 lbs.
I've been following Inoue's development and this boxer is amazing because to my knowledge no fighter has been able to beat him.
Casimero is actually a pretty great boxer with quite a lot of fighting experience but when compared to Inoue I am much more in favor of Inoue.
What you said is correct where Casimero will never stand a chance against Inoue.
I bet that there are many people who will contradict to that because even if Inoue shows some edge over Casimero, that doesn't mean that Casimero got no chances at all. It will be a good fight for sure with no way of knowing who will win the fight, what we can do is to give a speculation and bet whoever we believe will win.

I am more interested in the main event where Fernando Martinez will once again defend his belt against another Ph contender Jade Bornea. The champion though remains the favorite.
Oh yes, definitely this is the main event and a must watch for us. 2 impressive wins last year in Mexico and that's why he has a crack against Pumita here. Bornea has a good power though, so this is going to be good fight and let's see if Martinez can handle his power.
Hopefully, Ancajas can show some signs that he is still an elite fighter. The division is starting once again after Inoue's ascension to 122. Ancajas was a long-time champion but I felt like he could've done more by unifying his belt or facing the other top fighters of the division. He was a champion and the division was rich with stars like Roman Gonzales and Juan Estrada.
Yup, that's why I'm more interested to see him at this new weight class. The excuses that they give for losing twice against Martinez is the weight. So if there are no problems right now we should be expecting form him to win by knockout against the huge underdog in Soto.
Maybe there's a chance they'll meet if Inoue loses to Fulton. In that case, both Casimero and Inoue would become challengers, and who knows, if Fulton decides not to move up, Casimero might have a chance to fight the champion again and claim the belt. In that scenario, he could then accommodate Inoue as his challenger. It may sound unusual, but I believe it's another possibility to consider.
Maybe. But, I just don't want to get my hopes up because there's a chance Inoue will try the other two belts so that he could fight Fulton again. I think that's the strategy for most of the top seeds and simply about those below them. For now, Casimero has to prove something big and for that, he might need knockouts or defeat high ranks in their weight class in a dominating way.Anyway here are our fights for tomorrow.
Joshua Franco versus Kazuto Ioka - WBA Junior Bantamweight Title
Will be held in Japan. So this means it will be at night for those who will be watching in GMT+8 time zones. Not a Sunday morning boxing.
Learned my lesson already. An issue happened during the weigh-in but I think they agreed it will still continue.

“It’s been a tough week,” Franco admitted to the assembled media on Friday. “There was a point when we thought the fight wasn’t going to happen. Both teams came to an agreement. We’re going to continue the fight. Everything is good.
“I felt good. I’m happy and I’m ready to go.”

Oh, that will be good, but I haven't heard anything on Jade Bornea, perhaps another upcoming Filipino fighting, but Fernando Martinez is on a different level right now. Might be hard press for him to win against the champion as he dethroned Ancajas 2x already.
Hopefully, Ancajas can show some signs that he is still an elite fighter. The division is starting once again after Inoue's ascension to 122. Ancajas was a long-time champion but I felt like he could've done more by unifying his belt or facing the other top fighters of the division.

Just about time for him to go up in weight class, it's very difficult to maintain at 115 lbs and defend the belt. He has done it 9 times already, and I guess that's already a good accomplishment in his resume. Not sure what MP Promotions didn't call out Roman Gonzales and Juan Estrada though. It could have been great if Anjacas has the chance back then to unify the belts.

And as said, he doesn't have to weight drain himself to 115 lbs because obviously, his body can't take it anymore that's why he had back to back loses against Martinez. Yeah, I do agree, money fight could have been against Chocolatito and Juan Estrada, those two are legends and if by chance he fought either one of them and beat them during his prime years at 115 lbs, it could be historic for the Filipino.

Hopefully, Ancajas can show some signs that he is still an elite fighter. The division is starting once again after Inoue's ascension to 122. Ancajas was a long-time champion but I felt like he could've done more by unifying his belt or facing the other top fighters of the division. He was a champion and the division was rich with stars like Roman Gonzales and Juan Estrada.
For the case of Casimero in which we have been discussing, the burden is on his side. If Inoue wins then most likely it will be Tapales for unification. And so with that, Casimero needs to make a move by fighting rank boxers. That's the only way that Inoue will be interested on him, if he still can proved himself at 122 lbs.
Either Casimero will get a title or he will be on the Rank 1 of their weight and be the contender if ever Inoue wins the fight against Fulton. But I still doubt it will happen, the target will be unification so Tapales will be the apple of his eye if ever he will not lose his belts. Right now, Casimero can fight over and over again but there's little chance they will meet.
Another chance will be if Inoue unifies it all and he is mandated to defend it, that's if he will never go up another weight class. Casimero can keep on challenging him but it might never happen.
Actually, as long as Inoue will not leave his present weight class where Casimero is in and as long as the latter will not get any failures down the road then the chances for them to meet is good. But the scenario you've created does have more chances for Casimero and Inoue to fight as that will give Casimero a little room and edge to catch-up in the rankings to make him one of the few eligible challengers for the crown. But, but there's also a chance that Inoue will go for a rematch against Fulton considering that the latter will not vacate the belt and move towards the next weight class.
Not sure if we have discussed Jerwin Ancajas comeback fight this weekend as he will move up to 118 lbs and will fight a tune up fight against Wilner Soto in his new division.
Ancajas has been a great champion at 115 lbs defending his belt 9 times until he met Fernando “Pumita” Martinez in which he lost 2x. So it's obvious that his body can't take 115 lbs and so they decided to go up now at bantamweight division.

Well, it seems that almost everyone was surprised by Teófimo's fight, I'm not surprised because I know that Teófimo had already won this fight in his training, for me all the fight in boxing is won in training, that's the trick, to perpetuate quickly does not work in boxing, it is very hard work, it conditions the body so that it can give the maximum for that day, sometimes a good intermission and good intense and that alone makes the difference, some have dropped their bets, they lost a lot, Because obviously they were going for Taylor, but in reality these things when they happen I really like, this is boxing.
You said it right preparation is key factor in winning a fight, with his trainings and hard conditioning of his body he manage to win the fight, though he surprises the fans but it was the outcome, the favor is in his side and there's no contest about it, he take the win fair and square, now he's enjoying another achievements in his career.
I like the way you pointed it out, the hard work in training gives him the outcome that he desires and yes, we are in this sport where
training and conditioning with proper balance of diet gives you decent opportunities to win a fight.

Regarding about John Riel Casimero's current situation, so far, he did a good job in having two successive fights with both wins on his side but it ain't enough because Naoya Inoue is fighting directly for a championship belt while Casimero is still fighting to have a decent rankings even though he was the one who advanced first in this weight class. He cannot do anything about it because he met an unfortunate issue in his last weight class which made him climb much earlier, that said, he should do one more fight this year to increase his chances next year.
He fought a Japanese in this first fight at bantamweight, not impressive and there are controversies. And then Fillipus Nghitumbwa, yeah, he did knock him down, but the fight ended in the judges score card and it's a very close win for him, not the dominating fashion that we are expecting.
Although he moved up in rank, we can call that two fights are no-bearing as it seems just like a test for Casimero. Maybe just to remain active. The big test for him is to fight any on the top 5 rank fighter, have the fight in the US so that there will be hype.
