Plus, the return of Vergil Ortiz in the fight that was supposed to happen before - but we don't know what Ortiz's physical state is like now. He is lined up as mandatory for both Spence and Crawford - but if he loses to McKinson (who isn't highly ranked at all)...

Isaac Dogboe at one point appeared to be en route to something special with his shock of Jessie Magdaleno (who shocked Nonito Donaire).

Lifeblood of Boxing #8: Wisaksil Wangkek / Srisaket Sor Rungvisai

CTR Group LLC — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 14:00:58 +0000

Arguably one of the "4 Kings" of Super Flyweight, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai has been one of our favorite fighters for years; not just because he always comes to fight and entertain the fans, but because he has an inspirational story and is genuinely a good guy.

Unfortunately, his recent loss to Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez might cause him to consider retirement. We certainly hope not, but if he does, his legacy is already well cemented in the annals of history; and he might be the last of a dying breed of boxers that came up truly rough and turned into a success story.

The loss of HBO also had a significant impact - in our opinion - on the marketing for these guys, and we now are seeing a possible new breed of fighters come in.

Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez DECIMATES Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Stops Him in 8

CTR Group LLC — Sun, 26 Jun 2022 14:37:07 +0000

Very impressive performance by Bam as Srisaket fought like he always does, but didn't seem fully in the fight for some reason.

Now, we have to see where both guys go from here.

Boxing This Weekend: Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez And More

CTR Group LLC — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 16:26:47 +0000

We're huge fans of Rungvisai.

When he's on his game (and enjoying grilled rat while training in jungles), we believe he's unstoppable.

We greatly respect Bam for the step up and if he can pull this off, it's a HUGE win over the guy who sparked someone who was at one point the #1 P4P fighter in the world.

Boxing This Weekend: Artur Beterbiev, Joe Smith Jr. Robeisy Ramirez and More

Beterbiev is a downright killer.

Joe Smith Jr. is a fighter for sure, but we just don't think he's got enough to deal with Beterbiev.

Edgar Berlanga Goes The Distance AGAIN, Wins Unanimous Decision Over Alexis 'Roamer' Angulo

CTR Group LLC — Sun, 12 Jun 2022 13:52:54 +0000

Many people felt that Bumbanga got exposed again.

We noticed something different this time.

Bumbanga didn't perform nearly as badly here as he did against Steve Rolls even though he was taken the distance.

The problem is that people are still measuring him against the initial hype and the expectation of easy, dominant knockouts.

In this episode we analyze what we believe to be happening - and we think it's good, but is it too late?

Trevor Bryan Walks Right Into A BRUTAL Left, KO In Four

CTR Group LLC — Sun, 12 Jun 2022 00:41:16 +0000

Very few people were surprised with the actual outcome, but it was surprising to see Bryan barely try after all the trash talking he did to sell the fight.

It's make-or-break for Bumbanga. Angulo would be a decent test - but we heard he missed weight, which usually means he's losing.

Naoya Inoue DESTROYS Nonito Donaire in 2

CTR Group LLC — Thu, 09 Jun 2022 03:42:06 +0000

An absolutely stunning performance from Inoue in a rematch of a fight where it was very close the first time.

This wasn't close. At all.

Inoue was precise and dangerous for both rounds, resulting in a one-sided destruction of a legend.

Devin Haney Puts On A MASTERCLASS To Become Undisputed

CTR Group LLC — Mon, 06 Jun 2022 00:05:36 +0000

As we suspected, Kambosos simply didn't show up, as he had no answer for Haney's jab (just like Pacquiao had no answer for Floyd's jab).

Kambosos missing weight also likely played a factor.

History will be made, as a true undisputed champion at lightweight might be in the cards.

The question is whether Devin Haney can overcome insurmountable odds to beat George 'Ferocious' Kambosos on his own home turf.

Kambosos once told Teofimo that the belts were his curse. We'll have to see if that applies to him as well.

Gervonta 'Tank' Davis STOPS Rolly Romero In 6, Lara STOPS Spike O'Sullivan

CTR Group LLC — Sun, 29 May 2022 13:48:57 +0000

Erislandy Lara is so inconsistent it's frustrating - so we didn't spend too much time on that fight.

The real story is that either Tank is declining or Rolly Romero is better than people gave him credit for, because prior to the picture perfect shot that put him down for good, we had Rolly winning rounds over Tank simply by stalking Tank (who was excessively on the backfoot after feeling the power early on).

The headliner this weekend is the Mayweather Promotions grudge match. Everyone has eyes on this fight, but many people feel that Rolly has nothing for Tank Davis - evident by bookies having Tank 10-to-1 over Rolly.

But as we learned from Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn, sometimes even the biggest underdog can surprise people come fight night.

Jean Pascal Pulls Veteran Instinct To SHOCK Meng Fanlong By Decision

CTR Group LLC — Sat, 21 May 2022 13:39:00 +0000

Fanlong was a 2-1 favorite going into this fight, primarily because of the wide age discrepancy.

It was a close decision win but Pascal showed the heart of a lion as he was not afraid to engage, and ultimately showed a strong veteran instinct.

The question now is what this means for the light heavyweight rankings.

Jermell Charlo Makes History, We Learned Nothing New From Boots

CTR Group LLC — Sun, 15 May 2022 17:54:22 +0000

We're not down on Boots Ennis - but the guy was not tested this night. It's not his fault, but it needs to be fixed.

Custio Clayton didn't show up, and we're not sure why.

As a result we learned nothing new about Boots that we didn't already know - that's a problem.

Meanwhile, Jermell Charlo has made history, and is now one of our favorite fighters of the current generation - by far surpassing his brother.

Boxing This Weekend: Jermell Charlo vs. Brian Castano Rematch for 154 Supremacy, 'Boots' Ennis Slight Step-Up Test Against Custio Clayton

CTR Group LLC — Fri, 13 May 2022 22:25:21 +0000

On the co-main you've got 'Boots' Ennis facing a slight step up against Custio Clayton.

Both fights are good and worth the watch.

We suspect Charlo pulls it out this time in a late stoppage.

With Boots it's hard to say. Clayton is a pretty good fighter in his own right but was unable to deal with Lipinets, who Boots dispatched by stoppage.

Boots tends to leave himself wide open upstairs, and Clayton's got power.

Boots seems to remain focused on his opponent for now, so we suspect that it'll be a short night with Boots getting a knockout or stoppage within 6 rounds.
