Canelo Alvarez once again showed why he s almost unbeatable by making Billy Joe Saunders quit in his corner after eight rounds. Is Alvarez the current best fighter in the world? There s a good argument to be made for the super middleweight unified champion. A former great, Floyd Mayweather, killed two birds with one stone during the press conference to announce his exhibition match against YouTube sensation Logan Paul. Previous to that event, Mayweather got into an altercation with Logan Paul s younger brother Jake, also a YouTuber turned boxer, and it looks like a boxing match between them could be in the works for later this year. Mayweather could cash in on those two fights without taking much of a risk.

The winner of that fight becomes undisputed at that weight division, and I’m trying to go back-to-back [being undisputed] at 135 and 140. It’s never been done before, and that’s what I love. I love doing things that have never been done before.” Lopez continues by saying that the only thing standing in the way of a showdown with Haney is his current mandatory obligation, but says once that’s taken care of or falls through Haney will get his attention, hoping that Haney doesn’t price himself out of the bout.
PODCASTS IN his first interview since being sacked by Deontay Wilder, trainer Mark Breland didn’t pull any punches when reflecting on his former charge and the state of the heavyweight division. Last year, Wilder jettisoned Breland from his team in the wake of his punishing loss to Tyson Fury, before then going on to accuse Breland of spiking his water during the fight and “betraying” him for ultimately throwing in the towel. Breaking his silence in an interview with The Fight is Right, the former Olympic gold medallist and two-time world champion said: “With Deontay and I, that’s a part of boxing I guess. His career is done now, so I’m done and he’s done. I’m done with him.
Why Teofimo Lopez was always going to take over Manager David McWater was certain his fighter Teofimo Lopez would beat Vasiliy Lomachenko. Here McWater explains his strange but highly effective methods to Sean Nam “I KNOW this sounds insane, but I knew he was going to win. I just thought he was going to win right from the beginning.” It is Thursday afternoon, five days after Teofimo Lopez outpointed Vasiliy Lomachenko at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to unify the lightweight division, and David McWater, a boxing manager of relatively recent vintage, is sitting in his New Jersey home racking his head, trying to articulate why he was not able to fathom any other outcome than the one that ended up unfolding on the previous Saturday night.
