Martinez: "Like Canelo,
I’m Going For All The Belts" |
|
Julio Cesar Martinez wants
to unleash his frustrations out on Samuel Carmona when
he defends his WBC World Flyweight title for the fifth
time at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona,
live worldwide on DAZN.
Martinez (18-2 14 KOs) was was set to face long-running
rival McWilliams Arroyo in a rematch, but neck and back
issues ruled the Puerto Rican out, opening the door for
Carmona to land his first World title shot. The unbeaten
Spaniard, who represented his country in the 2016
Olympic Games, has cruised to 8-0 in the paid ranks
since turning pro in September 2019 and landed the WBA
International title at 112lbs in just his fourth pro
fight.

Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia:
Initial Thoughts and Concerns |
|
By William Trillo
I was pleasantly surprised when I read the breaking news
that Gervonta Davis (27-0, 25 KO’s) vs. Ryan Garcia
(23-0, 19 KO’s) was signed and sealed. Finally, top tier
fighters were able to cut through the constant Social
Media bickering and proceed with a fight the fans have
been clamoring for. Likewise, it was good to see
promoters and networks quit the endless posturing in
order to get things done, for once. Their 12-round
fight, which will be contested at a catch weight of 136
pounds, will be a Showtime Pay-Per-View main event from
a yet to be determined venue, most likely in Las Vegas.

Controversy As Love Is
Disqualified Against Spark |

Controversy reigned in
Cleveland as Montana Love was disqualified after Steve
Spark was lifted over the ropes in a clinch in the sixth
round – Spark picking up the WBA Intercontinental
Super-Lightweight title in the process.
The fight was building into a cracker through six
rounds, with drama in the second round as a Spark attack
stunned Love who was put onto the canvas hard by the
Aussie in the second round, with a right hand the final
punch of a damaging flurry. Love recovered quickly but
the crowd were on tenterhooks as Spark knew that he
could hurt the hometown star.

Press Conference Quotes |

Montana Love: "He’s
getting too comfortable. I’ve been playing it cool
because you are from out of town and you’ve been humble,
but I will step on you, in or out of the ring. You are
tripping, being disrespectful - just keep it on boxing,
keep it cool."
Steve Sparks: "haven’t come halfway across the world
to not beat Montana Love. And not just beat him, I’m
going to knock this man out. He’s chinny and he’s got a
glass jaw."

Bivol Exposes Zzzurdo & De La Hoya,
Sends A Clear Message To Canelo |
|
By William Trillo
While successfully defending his WBA Light Heavyweight
Title, the undefeated Dmitry Bivol (21-1, 11 KO’s)
displayed his untouchable World Class skills and exposed
Zzzurdo Ramirezzz (44-1, 30 KO’s) for the “One Trick”
Pony he has always been. Anyone with even a modest
knowledge of the fight game could have seen this outcome
long before the two stepped into the ring.
Bivol is pure artistry in the ring. With the punching
accuracy of a marksman, the ability to land multiple
pinpoint combinations, an impenetrable defense, and the
footwork of a Ballet dancer, Bivol makes what he does in
the ring look effortless. By the time his foes realize
what they are up against, it’s already too late.
Case in point, Zzzurdo Ramirezzz.
