Crawford vs. Spence Random Thoughts |

No one adapts to another fighter’s style and exposes his
weaknesses better than Terence Crawford…No One.
If Errol Spence Jr. had a Plan B he forgot to use it.
(Big If).
I am trying to recall the last time a Super Fight that
was basically 50/50 according to oddsmakers became such
a one-sided beat down.

American fight fans will be

Inoue (24-0, 21 KOs) aims to become a four-weight world

with a win over Philadelphia native Fulton (21-0, 8
KOs). “Cool Boy Steph” has not fought since June 2022,

20/20 Hindsight and the
Derevyanchenko Miscalculation |
|
By William Trillo
If the reports are true, Sergey Derevyanchenko was
summoned to the Golden Boy offices only days before the
fight with their last meal ticket possession, Jaime
Munguia. The reason was simple, Golden Boy wanted the
scheduled twelve round fight to be changed to a ten
rounder and they were willing to pay a hefty six figure
sum to buy their fighter, (so to speak), a six-minute
break. Obviously there was concern in the Munguia camp
that for whatever reason, their fighter wasn’t ready for
a fight that included those crucial Championship rounds.

The pride of the Coachella

his undefeated record on the line by taking on Walter
Santibanes (12-2, KOs) of Phoenix, AZ, in his first-ever

Santibanes was happy to return with powerful uppercuts
and body shots that challenged the Coachella favorite.
Santibanes continued to show off his strength,
dominating the action in the following rounds,
connecting combinations to the head and body. The
10-round bantamweight fight went the distance, with each
fighter delivering a brave and entertaining performance
to a boisterous crowd at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino.
The judges ruled in favor of Santibanes with scores of
100-90, 99-91, and 99-91, awarding him a victory via

"Welcome to Manchester ahead of a huge night of World
Championship boxing this Saturday at Manchester Arena,
live and exclusive in DAZN. The rematch for the WBA
Featherweight Championship of the World between the
champion Mauricio Lara and now the challenger Leigh
Wood. We saw a tremendous fight earlier this year in
Nottingham full on drama. Leigh Wood winning that fight,
to then get stopped and to see Mauricio Lara become
World Champion. We sat in the office and we talked about
what was next – we talked about maybe waiting. There was
no waiting from Leigh Wood. He believed he can win this
fight. He wanted the immediate rematch and he’s got it,
this time in Manchester with his fans travelling from

Do you want to know who really won the battle between
Devin Haney and Vasiliy Lomachenko on Saturday night?
