Garcia, Haney And Inoue To Fight In 72-hour Feast

This weekend's boxing is simply a spot for illustration erstwhile you spell into a edifice and there's a paper pinch excessively galore options. You ask: "What's bully here?" and nan waiter tells you "Everything".

With Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, Teofimo Lopez, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Naoya Inoue each successful action successful a 72-hour period, you are spoilt for choice. If you're a existent boxing fan, this is nan clip to enactment successful and enactment up, portion your coffee, negociate your slumber and make judge you're awake for each fight.

Then you tin miss activity connected Monday and watch them each again.

Haney and Garcia conflict separately successful Times Square connected Friday pinch a position to securing their rematch later this year. The 3 fights connected nan card, including Lopez's world title defence, could header immoderate paper anyplace successful nan world.

Alvarez defends his super-middleweight world titles against William Scull successful Saudi Arabia connected Saturday.

Inoue past makes a uncommon quality successful nan United States connected Sunday defending his undisputed super-bantamweight title against Ramon Cardenas.

Weirdly, Canelo would astir apt beryllium nan 3rd prime from those 3 cards. I don't deliberation I'd ever opportunity that. Saudi Arabia is uncharted territory for him.

But pinch a conflict pinch Terence Crawford successful nan pipeline for September, you can't really begrudge Canelo for taking an easy fight.

Now much than ever nan imagination fights are becoming reality. Boxing is successful specified a awesome place.

A fewer years ago, cipher was fighting each different - everyone was arguing. They were each connected different platforms and boxers wanted much money than they were worth. But now, I can't judge wherever we're at.

I'd opportunity nan 1980s was nan champion era for boxing. The 70s and 90s were nan champion for heavyweight, but for boxing arsenic a whole, it has to beryllium nan 80s. There were less titles and little money astatine nan little level, which meant you had to gain your changeable and get to nan apical level.

Garcia is specified a sensation extracurricular nan ring, arsenic good arsenic being superb successful it.

He tin beryllium massively underrated because of his societal media following, but he's ray connected his feet, has been boxing since he was a kid and has crazy powerfulness pinch some hands but particularly that near hook.

I cognize he has had a problem pinch that narcotics test. The unfortunate point is that successful this era, it does not make him unique. Canelo has besides had issues pinch narcotics tests and location are plentifulness of things and group astatine whom you tin constituent your fingers.

Haney and Garcia person comparatively difficult fights to get done against Rolly Romero and Jose Carlos Ramirez, they are nary walks successful nan park. I don't deliberation they will get beaten but location is consequence attached.

A batch is hinging connected this weekend. If Haney and Garcia some win, they will look each different successful nan rematch later this year, but let's not interest excessively overmuch astir what happens conscionable yet!

Canelo is successful a risk-averse fight. Scull is simply a boxer who is simply a classical Cuban who will look to make you miss and make you salary but that's immoderate inquire against Canelo, who is overdue a stoppage - and this mightiness beryllium wherever he gets it.

It's Canelo-Crawford everyone is looking towards and I americium proceeding it is much aliases little a done deal.

Two of nan biggest names successful nan sport, apical 10 pound-for-pound fighters and I americium a instrumentality of this fight.

Boxers will ever move up weight divisions. Roberto Duran went up 2 weights to conflict Sugar Ray Leonard. Great fighters do awesome things.

Canelo started disconnected arsenic a light-welterweight and won his first title astatine welterweight earlier moving up and dominating.

Canelo and Crawford are world-class operators.

It is ever a awesome nighttime watching Inoue. He's perfectly brilliant, technically superb and his powerfulness is crazy.

He has shown a small spot of vulnerability against value opposition, but he keeps his shape and style really well.

However, nan method is flawless and nan powerfulness is tremendous – that's a really difficult look to beat. You've sewage a feline who ever keeps his shape, is focused, patient, commits to his onslaught and has crazy one-touch power.

His force Cardenas is simply a bully fighter, who has a whipping near hook which could beryllium a problem if Inoue is not connected form. However, he is besides a small spot brave astatine times and tin make mistakes and if you do that against Inoue, you get knocked out.

That's what I deliberation will hap and it could beryllium early aliases successful nan mediate rounds. Inoue carries that powerfulness throughout.

So wherever does Inoue spell next? Wherever he wants to.

There is Bam Rodriguez astatine his weight, a Japanese showdown pinch world champion Junto Nakatani, who is nan weight beneath and is besides a large puncher pinch cleanable technique. Or location is simply a move up to featherweight against Liverpool's Nick Ball.
