Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Kemarit]

There was another buzz when Alalshikh showed no interest in carrying YouTubers into the kingdom any longer. This is sad news for the fans of Jake Paul and other YouTubers who like to box.

I don't think boxing fans will also be happy seeing Paul getting his fight in the kingdom as this is just exhibition fights. And it's obvious that Alalshikh is a big fan of boxing, the way he shoulder everything and allowing big fights going into Saudi as they have a lot of money.

For Rolly Romero, he was just gifted with that belt, and so we can say that he could be one boxer that is very lucky to get a championship when he should have lost that fight. For Ryan, it seems that GBP wanted him to be tested against former champion Jose Ramirez. But not sure if Ryan is interested though and everyone is leaving as to who Ryan wanted to fight. And so this is another tug of war between him and Oscar and it might turn out ugly again.

The crowd and authorities in Saudi Arabia likely saw the distinction between boxers and YouTubers. They are happy with the professional boxing matches and they no longer need the YouTubers in the kingdom.

Yes, most likely the Saudi Arabian authorities is really a big fan of boxing and Heavyweight fights in general. And might not have heard of this youtubers. But overall, it's good to the sports and Jake can still fight in the US still and make some money.

Rolly Romero was safeguarded by the ref to get the championship belt. I see no reason why Ryan Garcia and Oscar De La Hoya dumped Rolly Romero. Rolly Romero is a champion and is a simpler match than Jose Ramirez. Jose Ramirez even though I have not seen him in a while and is no longer a champion, this boxer is better and is above the level of Rolly Romero. This match is dangerous for Ryan Garcia, but I respect him for accepting to battle Jose Ramirez.

It's probably that Rolly Romero is with the other camp and it might take sometime for them to negotiate. So instead, after signing Jose Ramirez, they wanted to milk him and give Ryan Garcia. Ryan might not like it though, as he said that he is not interest to fight Ramirez. It might be a problem for Golden Boy, but lets see how Oscar will diffuse the tension here as we have noted that they don't have good relationship already and Ryan putting more fire as lately he is trying to get close to Floyd.

We also have a great fight in Munguia vs John Ryder this weekend.

It will be Ryder's first fight after he was defeated by Canelo Alvarez more than 8 months ago. And then Jaime Munguia, the upcoming star that Golden Boy is trying to build up for years. Obviously, Munguia is the younger of the two, and Ryder almost 4:1 underdog in this fight.

Gonna be a good test for Munguia here, and Jaime, but either Decision or by Knockout is very attractive.

On Ryan Garcia and Rolly Romero, it appears that what they say on their interviews and what they share in social media might only be a tactic to gather everyone's attention hehehe. The teams and managers of both have never stopped negotiating.

According to this latest news update, King Ry vs. Rolly Romero is almost a certainty in Las Vegas on April. If King Ry wins a championship, it will certainly be good for super lightweight where King Ry, Haney and Teo might fight each other for unification.



Ryan Garcia and WBA light welterweight champion Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero are back in play, with them reportedly being close to being done for April 20th on DAZN PPV in Las Vegas.

That is good news for fans of both Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol sure they wanted to see the fight between these two boxers and Turki Alalshikh is making it happen but it is still going to be the decision of both boxers if they like to fight at Saudi Arabia but for sure Turki Alalshikh will fund that fight that is for sure, and I saw that Turki Alalshikh wants to get Gervonta Davis to fight Devin Haney in Saudi Arabia aswell but Gervonta Davis has twitted “They made me mad. If they want me they gotta send something to my front door…like 2 Ferraris or sum! Like before I even THINK about going over there.

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are much bigger names internationally than Gervonta Davis and we don't see them making these crazy demands just for the privilege of being able to negotiate. Either Davis has a massively inflated ego or he does not want to fight Devin Haney.

We know the Saudis' money is good because they have been able to make these superfights happen where negotiations had dragged out for years. There is no need to shower Davis with gifts and stroke his ego. He can accept the fight and probably make the most money he's made in his career or he can continue hiding behind Floyd and Al Haymon's protection.

Gonna be a good test for Munguia here, and Jaime, but either Decision or by Knockout is very attractive.

January 27, 2024, at Phoenix’s Footprint Center.
Putting this in my calendar because I became a big fan of John Ryder after that fight against Canelo Alvarez.
He has a tough chin and even if he was knocked down by Alvarez in the fifth round of that game, he came back strong at the remaining round of that fight.  Ryder has the heart of a fighter and I bet he learns a lot of lessons during that fight. He lacks being aggressive, he is more on defense although he can surely take a beating because of his strong body.
I want to see if he will have a different strategy against Jaime Munguia. Perhaps starting it strong will be better and surprise Jaime that he became different after that Canelo fight.

Their undercard is stacked with title fights.
Oscar Collazo versus Reyneris Gutierrez - WBO Minimumweight Title
Gabriela Fundora. versus Christina Cruz - IBF Flyweight
Alan Picasso Romero versus Erik Ruiz - Super bantamweight
..and more

Here are the odds for the main event.
Jaime Munguia: |Winner @1.24| by KO @2.85| by Decision @1.86|
John Ryder: |Winner @3.80| by KO @7.60| by Decision @6.40|

Ryder is a super underdog but I think I will bet for him on this one. As a winner only because I doubt a KO will happen. He is tough but I don't see him throwing a big haymaker either.

That would be a big treat for the boxing fans if we will ever see a Davis vs Haney fight. It's power versus a defensive fighter, we will see which fighter will win. But the fact that Davis are not agreeing with the fight yet AFAIK, that only tells that he understands how risky the fight with Haney is. He wants to maintain his undefeated record by fighting a boxer that he thinks he has an advantage.

Many are claiming that they are better than Pacman but they are wrong because all they care now is their undefeated record, that's why promoters would not like them if they can't bring a big fight where fans aren't sure which side will win.

Right, it's going to be a great fight, we have heard that Jaime Munguia is the next big thing in the middleweight to super middle weight and Oscar has been trying to build this name for years. And I think this is a step up for him to fight with the likes of John Ryder. Who, we know have fought Canelo and give him a big test in their fight in Mexico. Perhaps they think that Ryder is a stepping stone for the young Munguia, but it's a dangerous fight for him nevertheless. Ryder will rely on his experience, why Munguia in his youth and his power. I think Munguia might clip Ryder in a few occasions but not seeing him winning by a knockout as Ryder is tough customer. Canelo wasn't able to knock him out, just saying.

That could happen as promoter are willing to fund that big fight since they are sure they can be profitable with their investments. But if one boxer which I think Davis does not agree with the terms ^{(his excused)} then the fight will never be realize. So far, Haney's journey is more interesting as he is moving up and he not afraid to fight anyone, whether he is the one challening or the opposite thing.

Many are claiming that they are better than Pacman but they are wrong because all they care now is their undefeated record, that's why promoters would not like them if they can't bring a big fight where fans aren't sure which side will win.

Mayweather's style could be a model that most of the undefeated boxers are following. It's just a business on their side as well, and they need to protect their investment as a loss might also result to decline of value. Look at what happened to Ryan Garcia, he tooked a tougher challenger and now his value have dropped.

It's just one loss though for Ryan, and I think his stock is not affected by that defeat from Davis. On the other hand, it was reported that he will be having his next fight. But they are talking it slowly again, rebuilding Ryan's reputation at 140 lbs. But definitely, I'm seeing him fighting for a world title in this division, targeting the weaker, let's say Rolly Romero later.

As for Tank Davis vs Haney, might be very hard to set up as both wanted to be the A-side and so who will take less of the split? Davis has the selling point because of his style, but Haney has the belt and accomplished a lot in his young career and willing to take risk that Davis hasn't done.

A good one for the fans who really following those youngbloods, it's a big test for Munguia since he will be facing someone who almost bring  a threat to Canelo, someone who can bring out the best out from this young and rising fighter, like what you said, a good test and if ever he manage to win his resume will be fill out of another good win.

Let's see if how both fighters will entertain the fans and how exciting this fight will be, same with what you observe, it will be a tough one and also a difficult fight for Munguia maybe a decision win and far from a KO win.

Both weigh-in below 168 lbs, Munguia and Ryder at 167.8 lbs, but it's good to see them making the weight.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJAY-koXMCw

Munguia though looks fresh maybe because of his youth, but he is still the favorite in this fight. I wanted to see Munguia vs Berlanga though, I mean this two has been calling each other for quite sometime now and they are young that's why this fight is going to be equal though.

But let's see if Jaime can pass his big test against Ryder first.

It's their handler who brings fight for them they are just following the demands of promoters to make sure that there's audiences that will watch and bet for the fight, we don't know what are the plans but Munguia needs to win this and create a good hype to his name to call for a much bigger fight,

though like you mentioned this is a big test for him and Ryder will not waste also his opportunity to regain his name and climb back.

i guess we were lucky for those who watched pacquiao's fights in his glory days. he did give his best foot forward, entertaining boxing fans and making this sports alive and being talked about. mayweather's style was just too technical, you couldn't enjoy watching because all he cared about was the points. now, another asian boxer is making his waves in the boxing world, in the name of Inoue. being tagged as following the footstep of Pacquiao.

Saudi Arabia transformed boxing to a different level. Big boxing matches that typically require time to arrange and are politically difficult were accelerated. Thanks to Turki Alalshikh and the leaders of the kingdom. Turki Alalshikh wanted to keep on pushing the large matches to occur. Fury versus Usyk and Joshua versus Ngannou in February and March. And there is more to come, Alalshikh referred to Beterbiev versus Bivol and recently, Haney versus Davis.

There was another buzz when Alalshikh showed no interest in carrying YouTubers into the kingdom any longer. This is sad news for the fans of Jake Paul and other YouTubers who like to box.

that's what money can do in any sports. there's not much trouble arranging fights or matches if they are being paid right and much much more...at least this kingdom is also being open to the outside world and getting acquainted with the current happenings. and it is also good for the athletes as they are being paid good, which can give them a very good boost to do their best.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a strategic partnership between Zanfer Promotions and GBP. So we might say that he has been protected specially by GBP, and so there could be hype on Jaime as early as 2019. But then again, pandemic and so all the plans have been derailed.

However, we all know what all this fighters are looking for, a big payday against Canelo Alvarez. And I think Oscar wanted him to fight Canelo, but we will have to wait because he will have a bigger fighter to test in Ryder. And then after that, him and Berlanga as well, back and forth trash talking between this two young prospects specially with Berlanga was still with Top Rank, now he is under Match Room which might take negotiations difficult as Oscar and Eddie Hearn has some verbal toss as well.

I can confirm that the career of Mungia has deteriorated significantly due to GBP. He has given up his championship belt and moved up in weight class, but GBP has failed to give him another championship match. Mungia should have held off on moving up unless he can no longer make the weight. By continuing to defend his championship belt and by challenging the other champions to unify, his name would remain significant.

Berlanga must be safeguarded because his abilities are inferior to those of Mungia. He left Top Rank because the boxers there are world class and Arum cannot safeguard him anymore.

Inoue is still too far from Pacquiao's achievement. Though undeniably he's got skills, speed, and power, but he still needs to step outside his territory and beat future hall of famers, fight in catchweight since he has been dominating on his current division. Well, I guess the boxing association are protecting his value. It would be less interesting to watch an Inoue fight if he'd lose to a stronger fighter. Unless, he's got enough charisma like Pacquiao who could bounce back and fight like he didn't get knocked out cold by Marquez. That's the downside of being an undefeated fighter, one defeat might change everything and winning everything back might be another difficult path.

Definitely, though Inoue is an exceptional boxer but he is nowhere near to Pacman in terms of achievement in boxing. At his age, I think Pacman had already achieve lots of belts in different division, but Inoue stays in super bantamweight although he had unified all the belts already. Another thing that people does't admire on his is he keeps fighting in Japan, and even the "ban for life" sanction on Nery has suddenly been lifted just to give way to his fight with Inoue which is expected the champion will easily beat Nery.

[owengtam09]

For sure no one here wants to see an amateur fight and so Turki Alalshikh the Saudi Arabian Adviser at the royal court doesn't want some kind of boxing like this either, he wants a seasoned veteran fighter like Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Gervonta "Tank" Davis, Devin Haney, Artur Beterbiev, and Dmitry Bidol kind of fighter to fight on whoever would win from that for sure they are curious on what will happen and who's going to win, but keeping away from Saudi Arab the likes of the Paul Brothers and other Youtuber wannabee  boxers, which is OK for me and boxing likes this surely stays at Misfits only,

It makes sense to aim for seasoned veteran fighters like Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Gervonta "Tank" Davis, Devin Haney, Artur Beterbiev, and Dmitry Bidol for a high-quality match. It adds credibility and ensures a more intriguing competition. Steering clear of YouTube-based boxers like the Paul Brothers aligns with a desire for serious and professional bouts. It's clear that the focus is on genuine boxing talent, which should indeed elevate the sport's status. These exciting times for those eager to see how these matchups unfold,

Beterbiev and Bivol both showed an eagerness to battle each other. They are likely glad that Alalshikh can assist them in making it a reality. They have different promoters behind them and it makes the match challenging to make. Everything has a cost and with the huge wealth KSA has, it is easier for dream matches to become a reality.

Alalshikh can send ten Ferraris to Gervonta Davis but the boxing authorities in KSA do not need the A side show and delayed dealings. They see Haney as an undisputed champion and it is an opportunity for Davis to battle for the belts. But Davis has a different take and is certain that Haney needs him.

It's fascinating to see the enthusiasm from Beterbiev and Bivol to face each other, and having Alalshikh facilitating the match is a promising prospect. The challenge of different promoters adds complexity, but with the substantial resources of KSA, dream matches can materialize. While Alalshikh's gesture towards Gervonta Davis with ten Ferraris is noteworthy, the KSA boxing authorities prioritize undisputed champions. They view Haney in that light, providing Davis with an opportunity to contend for the belts. Davis, however, sees it differently, believing Haney needs him for the match. Exciting dynamics in the boxing world,

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are much bigger names internationally than Gervonta Davis and we don't see them making these crazy demands just for the privilege of being able to negotiate. Either Davis has a massively inflated ego or he does not want to fight Devin Haney.

We know the Saudis' money is good because they have been able to make these superfights happen where negotiations had dragged out for years. There is no need to shower Davis with gifts and stroke his ego. He can accept the fight and probably make the most money he's made in his career or he can continue hiding behind Floyd and Al Haymon's protection.

It's interesting to observe the contrasting approaches among fighters. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, being international giants, don't seem to make extravagant demands just to initiate negotiations. The question arises whether Gervonta Davis's demands stem from an inflated ego or a reluctance to face Devin Haney. The Saudis have proven their financial capability to make significant fights happen without the need for excessive gestures. Davis has the opportunity to take on the challenge, potentially securing the most lucrative deal of his career. The choice between stepping into the ring and continuing to rely on Floyd and Al Haymon's protection adds an intriguing layer to the unfolding story

Rolly Romero is not even close to the championship level. I cannot believe how Romero is a champion equivalent to Lopez, Haney and Matias. Teofimo Lopez released his sparring match with Romero for disrespecting Oscar De La Hoya. Pay attention to how easily Lopez mocks Romero, a class C boxer.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MHb2-lR8Fds

It's surprising to see Rolly Romero being considered at the championship level, especially when compared to fighters like Lopez, Haney, and Matias. Teofimo Lopez's released sparring match with Romero, in response to Romero's disrespect towards Oscar De La Hoya, sheds light on the perceived skill difference. The video seems to highlight a notable gap, with Lopez seemingly easily handling Romero, who is referred to as a class C boxer. It's indeed a unique perspective on the level of competition in the boxing world.

The deliberate avoidance of YouTube-centric is exemplified by the Paul Brothers, fostering serious and professional engagements within the sport. This discerning focus on authentic boxing prowess speaks to a dedicated pursuit of elevating the sport's stature and sure Turki Alalshikh just wants the best for his country and not just because of entertainment and that is why he is certainly doing this, which is why I really like that he is doing this and I am really jealous on the people of Saudi Arabia for having such leader, but for sure not giving a chance for the Influencer that wants to risk into boxing doesn't have a chance to fight in Saudi Arabia,

Inoue is still too far from Pacquiao's achievement. Though undeniably he's got skills, speed, and power, but he still needs to step outside his territory and beat future hall of famers, fight in catchweight since he has been dominating on his current division. Well, I guess the boxing association are protecting his value. It would be less interesting to watch an Inoue fight if he'd lose to a stronger fighter. Unless, he's got enough charisma like Pacquiao who could bounce back and fight like he didn't get knocked out cold by Marquez. That's the downside of being an undefeated fighter, one defeat might change everything and winning everything back might be another difficult path.

Definitely, though Inoue is an exceptional boxer but he is nowhere near to Pacman in terms of achievement in boxing. At his age, I think Pacman had already achieve lots of belts in different division, but Inoue stays in super bantamweight although he had unified all the belts already. Another thing that people does't admire on his is he keeps fighting in Japan, and even the "ban for life" sanction on Nery has suddenly been lifted just to give way to his fight with Inoue which is expected the champion will easily beat Nery.

Inoue is definitely a great fighter. But Pac-Man was on another level. I think it is not wrong to say that he was actually at the Muhammad Ali level.. because yes definitely he was one of the best. I think he had been the champion of eight weight levels if I'm not wrong. So I don't think he is actually at that level. He might be in future. But for now, he is certainly not.

I know people do not like some of the decisions that are being taken by Inoue. But here I think he is taking the smart decisions. Because after all he still wishes to continue to be the champion.
