Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[danherbias07]

The Ellis hype train though has ended in this fight, hehehe. And also Ennis, I guess there is always a first time, as he was extended by Karen to 12 rounds but it was a complete domination by Jaron to win every rounds. So no more Ennis vs Ellis fight in the future, too bad, they hype it already during the press con in this fight.

I lost both my bets on those two fights as I took the early ending for Ennis to win and the same for Ellis.
Karen was as tough as hell and gave Ennis a difficult time getting a knockdown. 
Villa on the other end dominated Ellis. I was just curious why he felt like he won that fight when interviewed, I mean, how many knockdowns were that?
That's all score for Villa.

As what we expected, Davis won but not after a tough and need some rounds to figure out Hector Garcia. But the ring IQ of Davis is one of the best in the game and keep on hitting that same spot of the eye of Garcia. And the total accumulation, as he did the damage was enough and his eye was hurt. And if the boxer complains that he can't see, then it's gonna be over. Hopefully the eye is not that damage to the extend that it needed a repair or something.

Davis was patient, but Garcia was not. When he started to put his hands down, he gave Davis the biggest chance he could have. I gave Garcia most of the rounds and if it ended UD, there's a high chance the judges might also give him the win (assuming every round will be the same). But we will never know, maybe if he continued it will be worst.
Thankfully, his coaching side is good and checked him first before letting him stand again.
I also hope it will not be a bad injury but from the looks of it, his head might've just shaken a bit.

You see no reason for referees using a headset inside the ring but when they do, that is something to really wonder why. There were just hypotheses about referees getting instructions from the top where they could just raise the hand of a fighter that obviously fated to win even before the fight started.

Maybe true, maybe not. We can't just associate that with a form of cheating as maybe, that serves another purpose. Although, who knows?

Generally, from judges to referees, there's really a chance to manipulate results especially if the fight turned out close.

Because of that, I remember the Bivol-Canelo bout where there are speculations that if the fight instead turned out close the whole time, judges can easily score more points for Canelo every round. This fight turned the underdog Bivol into a superstar overnight.

It does serves another purpose because the count has to be synched and referees need some guide from the outside because there might be some angle that the referees are not aware or haven't saw. But still, these headsets raises some suspicious issues because they are really the ones who know what's going on behind that ear piece.

And yes, I definitely agee, Canelo has been favored a lot lately when it comes to close fights that needed a judge to rule and give the outcome. There's no doubt that if Bivol didn't show a dominant performance, he's likely a nobody today who have no belts because in that fight, judges will actually favor Canelo. But Bivol made an outstanding performance which literally upsets the crowd/bookies/judges favorite and made a fight that can't be helped by the judges.

The organization should take a closer look on this, if there's a lot of doubt that already spreading regarding to that earpiece issue
then they should act right away and prevent the ref to use it.

It's still good to see a clean fight without any angle of cheating or any concern with manipulations, I get the point where judges
can ruined the outcome if the fight ended close.

That example with Bivol, and how he dominates the fight to avoid any manipulation or control of the judges those are legit.

That is if the industry can really sacrifice the referee's earpiece as it is also an important tool for them in every given fight, they should think for another method as well to minimize this practice because the uncertainties from the people will always develop regarding the fight especially if it's an important match-up. Every year, there will be a technology that will be develop so maybe the industry can benefit from it soon.

Yeah, unfortunately, some of us lost that Ennis and Ellis bet as well, Ennis is expected to finished the fight early as he was a huge favorite going into this fight and we thought that it will not even last 3 rounds. But Karen was very tough and durable and doesn't want to go down in this fight and continue to stand in front of Ennis, although we can see that he was frustrated at times.

As for Ennis, again, the hype on him has gone, second time that Villa has pulled an upset as a underdog.

I guess for Ennis he can't accept the defeat, but him getting knockdown twice says enough. And Villa says that it is just a matter of time because he can land that big shot because he knows that Ennis will get tired and that's exactly what happen and that knockdown was a big swing on points on his favor.

[YuginKadoya]

I completely missed the Gervonta Davis VS Hector Garcia fight, and didn't make a bet for it, but watching the recap it was an amazing fight but it was an intense fight I have seen a different Gervonta Davis in the later round because Hector Garcia really is baiting Davis for him to counter while Gervonta Davis is learnings and studying Hector Garcia, and he will surely go with the bait of Garcia, but it was a fight of baiting his opponent because Gervonta Davis is also baiting Garcia aswell, it was a real mental fight for both fighters to initial a beautiful bait but surely Tank Davis experience and sturdiness and power made Hector Garcia retired in the fight,


Well right now a little time left maybe it will start soon, is a fight from japan and it was called the 96th Phoenix Battle



and here in the poster we can see that it says, the future monster takes the field! pertaining to Naoya Inoue's signature name and this youth to be the next in line in the future,

There is also a fight in the Philippines called Bakbakan where the future next Pacman might appear but surely it will surely suffice in the future I will not show the cards but you can all check it out in Tapology,

[bbc.reporter]

It appears we have another boxer who will be very exciting similar to how Manny Pacman was during his challenges in different weight divisions. However, Naoya Inoue's mission is to be the first male boxer to unify all championships in 2 different divisions. According to this article he mentioned that he will be in the ring again on April or May! I speculate him to challenge Akhmadaliev first, before a unification superfight against Stephen Fulton on December.

He also mentioned that his body can reach the limit to featherweight.



Naoya Inoue became the ninth fighter to unify all four major titles in boxing's four-belt era.

Inoue is now looking to become the only male fighter to accomplish the feat in two weight classes.

"I believe I'm going to aim for it," Inoue said. "We'll need to develop a thorough plan."

The Japanese star will be heading up to 122-pounds, after knocking out British fighter Paul Butler in eleven rounds to unify the IBF, WBO, WBA, WBC world bantamweight titles.

Inoue plans to return on a date in April or May of the coming year.

The world titles at 122-pounds are owned by two undefeated fighters, Uzbekistan's Murodjon Akhmadaliev and Stephen Fulton of the United States - with each boxer holding two belts.

Compete higher. I would love to see this happen. Make history. Break records. I bet the fighters in that weight division are itching to have a piece of Naoya Inoue but they will have to wait. I mean, who doesn't love good competition and fresh blood? 
"Thorough plan." Yes, he will need it as this is a new jungle that he will be up against. He may have dominated his weight class but I am sure the boxers in the next will not just give him what he wants to happen.
Challenges will pour out in his schedule.

However, Naoya Inoue's mission is to be the first male boxer to unify all championships in 2 different divisions.

I was going to say Canelo is already unify all belts in 2 different divisions, but after I check his record, he missed the WBO middleweight title while he already get WBA, WBC, IBF and The Ring belts, not sure why Canelo jump to super middleweight at that time.

Either Fulton or Akhmadaliev, they both are strong boxer and can't be taken down easily. We're know Canelo was fought everyone in super middleweight, but when he jump to light heavyweight, he's lose the fight.

I think it's better for Inoue to fight with Daniel Roman first, because Roman already fought Fulton and Akhmadaliev, although he lose the two fight.

Interesting to wait if who among these title holders will be Inoue's target to deal with and call for a challenge fight,
his comeback to formally announce his plan to move up will bring a big hype.

After dominating his current division, it will be a big challenge to him, those belt holders from 122lbs are also
excited to face him.

It would be a good risk for Inoue and whoever champ that he will challenge.

It is a very very difficult task since you will be fighting the other champions which is very challenging already but there's also boxing politics. Champions are not obliged to fight the other champions. Negotiating with the other champions is already a tough one and it will be more difficult if the promoter is different the most difficult to deal with are the top networks namely DAZN, Showtime/Fox, and ESPN. That is why most fighters just prioritized getting the Ring belt and the lineal recognition in order to be considered the best of the division and then move up in weight for another challenge.

I am very excited as to who will be the first fighter to take that record. Before, my favorite to win it is Terrence Crawford as he only needs to fight Errol Spence to become a 2-division undisputed and then impose a mandatory on undisputed champion Jermell Charlo for a chance to become the first 3-division unified champion in this 4-belt era. But then Spence and his friend Charlo together with their handler PBC are not allowing it to happen. Now Crawford is getting older and he might not be able to get it. The next in line is unified heavyweight champion Oleksandyr Usyk although the task to take the last remaining belt which is the WBC might be very tough as Tyson Fury is the one holding it. But I am optimistic Usyk can beat Fury especially if the fight is held in a neutral location.

Canelo is a unified champion in 3 divisions but he failed to complete the task to collect all the belts except at super middleweight. I think the WBO champion at middleweight at that time was Billy Joe Saunders. I became a BJS fan when he took the fight against the arrogant Eubank Jr. But later on, I hated BJS a lot when he became the WBO champion and hostage the undisputed recognition. GGG already held 3 belts at that time but BJS was a dick. And then came Canelo who controversially robbed GGG's 3 belts, still unable to reach a deal with BJS too. Canelo and BJS fought later at super middleweight to unify the WBA, WBC, and WBO belts which the Mexican superstar won in a close fight.

Glad to know that he's already having a fight in the 2nd quarter of this year, makes me wonder who it is.

I believe he can do that feat soon and will be the first male boxer/fighter to unite all belts in two different division. But he's still have a long way to go despite the perks he has where he can go directly to the champions and I'm viewing the opposite thing where Inoue will chase Fulton first instead Akhmadaliev. WBO also gave Inoue the super-champion title so that there will be no issues if their camp will decide to face Fulton.

[danherbias07]

I think it's better for Inoue to fight with Daniel Roman first, because Roman already fought Fulton and Akhmadaliev, although he lose the two fight.

This is what I am always confused with.
Does a lower-weight champion (Inoue for this example) need to fight a higher seed (Marlon Tapales) in the upper class before he can challenge the champion (let's say Murodjon Akhmadaliev)?
Or will it depend on the champion with who he wants to fight?
I think Tank Davis versus Hector Garcia was an example of it. Garcia as a champion of the Super Featherweight jumped into the upper weight without battling any higher seed. Directly given a chance to steal it from him if he wins.
Sorry for my innocence when it comes to this critical information.

Either:

a) mandated fight ordered by a boxing council
b) promoter's pick/choice

In the case of Inoue, he can go directly with the champions at 122 lbs but most part of the final decision will depend on his promoter, Bob Arum.

However, as far as my current view regarding that is concerned, seems Arum won't put his Japanese cash cow into a title fight yet once moved up.

Who knows though?

You forgot another thing, he is under Bob Arum, and he has the blue print to guide Inoue's career to be a 2 time unified champion in different division. After all Arum has that experience when he work with Manny to become 8 division champ that I don't think someone can beat in the next 50 years.

Yeah, I think 130 lbs will still be great for Inoue to reach and maybe still won a belt if ever he can go that far.

His body can move up in weight class but for sure there will be a limit. Love to see him either with Fulton or Akhmadaliev for this year. Unless Fulton will go up in weight class and vacated his belt.

The Ellis hype train though has ended in this fight, hehehe. And also Ennis, I guess there is always a first time, as he was extended by Karen to 12 rounds but it was a complete domination by Jaron to win every rounds. So no more Ennis vs Ellis fight in the future, too bad, they hype it already during the press con in this fight.

I lost both my bets on those two fights as I took the early ending for Ennis to win and the same for Ellis.

As what we expected, Davis won but not after a tough and need some rounds to figure out Hector Garcia. But the ring IQ of Davis is one of the best in the game and keep on hitting that same spot of the eye of Garcia. And the total accumulation, as he did the damage was enough and his eye was hurt. And if the boxer complains that he can't see, then it's gonna be over. Hopefully the eye is not that damage to the extend that it needed a repair or something.

Davis was patient, but Garcia was not. When he started to put his hands down, he gave Davis the biggest chance he could have. I gave Garcia most of the rounds and if it ended UD, there's a high chance the judges might also give him the win (assuming every round will be the same). But we will never know, maybe if he continued it will be worst.
Thankfully, his coaching side is good and checked him first before letting him stand again.

Villa though says that he is willing to go for a rematch if Ennis wanted it, but I guess Ennis will have to swallow his pride if he wanted to fight Villa again because it derail his plans to even fight Ennis next.

So props for Villa, he was not intimidated and then follow his game plan in this match and it work perfectly as he knows that Ellis is going to be gas out as the fight goes on.

And sorry for those who bet on him and take the upset L.

The thing is I really liked Naoya Inoue just don't get cocky about what he is doing I really think if there is beef there will be many that will surely get many PPVs but it will then surely have the boxer in a bad reputation for me Naoya Inoue is really iconic and really has a genuine winning and if he can pull this off he will be put to history as a boxer without a lost it is a good record in my opinion, and if in the future Naoya Inoue and John Riel Casimero would face each other I will stay in the middle for that match,

Interesting to wait if who among these title holders will be Inoue's target to deal with and call for a challenge fight,
his comeback to formally announce his plan to move up will bring a big hype.

It would be a good risk for Inoue and whoever champ that he will challenge.

I am really excited about who's he going to face, and most importantly if he will triumphant in the next division he would land on and if he can still dominate in that division I surely wonder if he can really do such things, an undefeated double division champion really has the good sound to it,

For me, if he did that in the same manner as his own division then that was really epic he might also when up the division again and do the same thing until he can not make it anymore,

It will be the option A, if Inoue will fight Fulton because the latter has the WBO belt in his possession and it will be the option B, if Inoue will fight Murodjon. But as of now, there's no names surfacing in the rumors yet about Inoue's future fight this coming April or May, what we know is that Inoue will have a fight in the said months but it's not yet identified. Who knows which camp they are discussing with.

Love to see him either with Fulton or Akhmadaliev for this year. Unless Fulton will go up in weight class and vacated his belt.

Not sure about that but is there any rumor that Fulton will move up weight?

He is waiting badly for Inoue even prior to The Monster being the undisputed bantamweight champion.

Aside from him expecting a clash with Inoue, seems better to also see them in unification with Akhmadaliev.
