HITS and MISSES: Celebrating Terence Crawford and More

With football season in full swing across the nation, boxing traditionally has to take a backseat to what has become America’s favorite pastime over the last half-century or so. Still, there’s no season for boxing. Rather, it might be more correct to say that boxing’s season is always in full swing, so there were plenty of big fights this weekend to watch in the United States.

Here are the latest HITS and MISSES from another weekend on the boxing beat.

HIT: In Celebration of Terence Crawford

Terence “Bud” Crawford has been one of the best fighters in the world for years now. He was the lineal champ at 135, undisputed at 140, and now holds one of the 147-pound belts. That places Crawford at the top of many pound-for-pound lists, and he absolutely deserves that kind of adulation.

Crawford, 33, from Omaha, Nebraska, completely dismantled former welterweight titleholder Kell Brook, 34, from England, on Saturday night. Where it took middleweight champ Gennadiy Golovkin five rounds to stop Brook four years ago and welterweight champ Errol Spence 11 rounds to do the same three years ago, Crawford stopped Brook in just four.

As special as that seems, it could be more special that Crawford might finally be getting his wish to fight other top welterweight stars soon. Crawford seems miffed enough at his promoter Bob Arum for not getting him fights against other top stars to do something about it, and that could mean “TBC” is headed to PBC. In fact, when I asked him about that very move last week, Crawford did not deny it could happen.

Arum and Top Rank have done their job with Crawford. But if they can’t get him the fights he wants against someone like Spence or Manny Pacquiao, it makes sense for Crawford to find someone who can.

MISS: Baffling Decisions by ESPN

The Top Rank on ESPN card featuring Crawford vs. Brook was a case study in baffling decisions. The first head-scratcher was how fight fans had to wait for a college football game to be completely over before ESPN would show the boxing match on any of its many channels and streaming options, even though Florida was beating Arkansas by 27 points at the end of that game.

Next, imagine being one of the coveted mainstream sports fans ESPN was hoping would stick around for the big boxing march and being presented with the completely avoidable mess that was Joshua Franco vs. Andrew Moloney 2.

After that fight was stopped, ESPN inexplicably tried everything in its power to bully Nevada Athletic Commission officials into agreeing with its collective opinion that Franco’s swollen eye was due to a punch and not a headbutt.

That meant instead of moving on to any other kind of meaningful content that might create more boxing fans, the producers kept their cameras trained on NAC officials while ESPN’s talking heads sitting nearby (Joe Tessitore, Tim Bradley, and Andre Ward) tried every single kind of dysfunctional and manipulative trick in the book to sway NAC executive director Bob Bennett, referee Russell Mora and replay referee Robert Byrd into conforming to ESPN’s will.

It was ugly, rude, and dangerous.

It was ugly because it boiled down to Bob Arum and the billion-dollar television network he cut a deal with ganging up on three single human beings assumedly doing the best job they could.

It was rude because ESPN overstepped its bounds by a large margin in deciding it knew better than the NAC on how things should be ruled.

It was dangerous because it shows just how far the company has fallen away from broadcast journalism into the world of content marketing.

HIT: Everything About Katie Taylor vs. Miriam Gutierrez 

Katie Taylor is one of the best fighters in the world today, and she showed her class in her title defense against Miriam Gutierrez on Saturday. Taylor, 34, from Bray, Ireland, is great at just about everything inside a boxing ring. Gutierrez, 37, from Madrid, Spain, isn’t, but she entered the fight with an undefeated record and the attitude that she wanted it to stay that way.

Still, what made the fight a joy to watch was seeing both women ply their trades as best they could. Taylor looked sharp, and she continually had Gutierrez in serious trouble. But the Spaniard never wavered. There were plenty of avenues driven into her by Ireland’s favorite boxing champ, and any of them could have led her to give up in the fight. She never did.

After the 10-round decision win for Taylor over Gutierrez, Taylor’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, almost immediately started talking about Taylor facing MMA legend Cristiane Justino aka Cris Cyborg next in a women’s version of the 2017 superfight spectacle between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor.

Most people in boxing seem to hate those types of fights. I love them. They’re great for the boxing champ because it’s big money on a bright stage. They’re great for boxing because they expose the sport to MMA fans who might become the same in boxing. They’re great for boxing writers because people seem to like to read about them.

MISS: Two-minute Rounds for Women’s Boxing

Women’s boxing matches being limited to two-minute rounds makes just about as much sense as adding a weight class in between the cruiserweight and heavyweight division.

Of course, we can thank the World Boxing Council (WBC) for both of these ideas. But leaving this whole “Bridgerweight” situation behind right now in hopes that ignoring it will simply make it go away, I think it’s time to revisit the WBC’s 2014 ruling that limited women’s boxing to 10, two-minute rounds.

Two-minute rounds are holding women’s boxing back. It keeps the more skilled fighters like Taylor from separating themselves as much as they could from their opponents on fight night, and there hasn’t been anything beyond some seriously vague language from the WBC about why women can’t fight for three minutes.

Moreover, their female counterparts in MMA already fight the full five-minute rounds just as the men do, so there’s no good reason female boxers can’t fight three-minute rounds.

HIT: Eddie Hearn Marching Women’s Boxing Forward 

Women’s boxing has come a long way, and Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing card on Saturday featuring wins by undisputed lightweight champion Taylor, WBC junior lightweight titleholder Terri Harper and rising junior featherweight contender Rachel Ball proves the best is probably yet to come.

Hearn deserves credit for recognizing Taylor’s star power was legit after she turned pro and that it could continue to grow larger across the world. He also deserves props for consistently featuring women on his fight cards and doing so in premier positions.

Skylar Lacy Blocked for Lamar Jackson before Making his Mark in Boxing

Published

on

Skylar-Lacy-Blocked-for-Lamar-Jackson-Before-Making-his-Mark-in-Boxing

Skylar Lacy, a six-foot-seven heavyweight, returns to the ring on Sunday, Feb. 2, opposing Brandon Moore on a card in Flint, Michigan, airing worldwide on DAZN.

As this is being written, the bookmakers hadn’t yet posted a line on the bout, but one couldn’t be accused of false coloring by calling the 10-round contest a 50/50 fight. And if his frustrating history is any guide, Lacy will have another draw appended to his record or come out on the wrong side of a split decision.

This should not be construed as a tip to wager on Moore. “Close fights just don’t seem to go my way,” says the boxer who played alongside future multi-year NFL MVP Lamar Jackson at the University of Louisville.

A 2021 National Golden Gloves champion, Skylar Lacy came up short in his final amateur bout, losing a split decision to future U.S. Olympian Joshua Edwards. His last Team Combat League assignment resulted in another loss by split decision and he was held to a draw in both instances when stepping up in class as a pro. “In my mind, I’m still undefeated,” says Lacy (8-0-2, 6 KOs). “No one has ever kicked my ass.”

Lacy was the B-side in both of those draws, the first coming in a 6-rounder against Top Rank fighter Antonio Mireles on a Top Rank show in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and the second in an 8-rounder against George Arias, a Lou DiBella fighter on a DiBella-promoted card in Philadelphia.

Lacy had the Mireles fight in hand when he faded in the homestretch. The altitude was a factor. Lake Tahoe, Nevada (officially Stateline) sits 6,225 feet above sea level. The fight with Arias took an opposite tack. Lacy came on strong after a slow start to stave off defeat.

Skylar will be the B-side once again in Michigan. The card’s promoter, former world title challenger Dmitriy Salita, inked Brandon Moore (16-1, 10 KOs) in January. “A capable American heavyweight with charisma, athleticism and skills is rare in today’s day and age. Brandon has got all these ingredients…”, said Salita in the press release announcing the signing. (Salita has an option on Skylar Lacy’s next pro fight in the event that Skylar should win, but the promoter has a larger investment in Moore who was previously signed to Top Rank, a multi-fight deal that evaporated after only one fight.)

Both Lacy and Moore excelled in other sports. The six-foot-six Moore was an outstanding basketball player in high school in Fort Lauderdale and at the NAIA level in college. Lacy was an all-state football lineman in Indiana before going on to the University of Louisville where he started as an offensive guard as a redshirt sophomore, blocking for freshman phenom Lamar Jackson. “Lamar was hard-working and humble,” says Lacy about the player who is now one of the world’s highest-paid professional athletes.

When Lacy committed to Louisville, the head coach was Charlie Strong who went on to become the head coach at the University of Texas. Lacy was never comfortable with Strong’s successor Bobby Petrino and transferred to San Jose State. Having earned his degree in only three years (a BA in communications) he was eligible immediately but never played a down because of injuries.

Returning to Indianapolis where he was raised by his truck dispatcher father, a single parent, Lacy gravitated to Pat McPherson’s IBG (Indy Boxing and Grappling) Gym on the city’s east side where he was the rare college graduate pounding the bags alongside at-risk kids from the city’s poorer neighborhoods.

Lacy built a 12-6 record across his two seasons in Team Combat League while representing the Las Vegas Hustle (2023) and the Boston Butchers (2024).

For the uninitiated, a Team Combat League (TCL) event typically consists of 24 fights, each consisting of one three-minute round. The concept finds no favor with traditionalists, but Lacy is a fan. It’s an incentive for professional boxers to keep in shape between bouts without disturbing their professional record and, notes Lacy, it’s useful in exposing a competitor to different styles.

“It paid the bills and kept me from just sitting around the house,” says Lacy whose 12-6 record was forged against 13 different opponents.

As a sparring partner, Lacy has shared the ring with some of the top heavyweights of his generation, e.g., Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte. He was one of Fury’s regular sparring partners during the Gypsy King’s trilogy with Deontay Wilder. He worked with Joshua at Derrick James’ gym in Dallas and at Ben Davison’s gym in England, helping Joshua prepare for his date in Saudi Arabia with Francis Ngannou and had previously sparred with Ngannou at the UFC Performance Center in Las Vegas. Skylar names traveling to new places as one of his hobbies and he got to scratch that itch when he joined Whyte’s camp in Portugal.

As to the hardest puncher he ever faced, he has no hesitation: “Ngannou,” he says. “I negotiated a nice price to spend a week in his camp and the first time he hit me I knew I should have asked for more.”

Lacy is confident that having shared the ring with some of the sport’s elite heavyweights will get him over the hump in what will be his first 10-rounder (Brandon Moore has never had to fight beyond eight rounds, having won his three 10-rounders inside the distance). Lacy vs. Moore is the co-feature to Claressa Shields’ homecoming fight with Danielle Perkins. Shields, basking in the favorable reviews accorded the big-screen biopic based on her first Olympic journey (“The Fire Inside”) will attempt to capture a title in yet another weight class at the expense of the 42-year-old Perkins, a former professional basketball player.

Mizuki Hiruta Dominates in her U.S. Debut and Omar Trinidad Wins Too at Commerce

Published

Mizuki-Hiruta-Dominates-in-her-U.S.-Debut-and-Trinidad-Wins-Too-at-Commerce

Japan’s Mizuki Hiruta smashed through Mexico’s Maribel Ramirez with ease in winning by technical decision and local hero Omar Trinidad continued his assault on the featherweight division on Friday.

Hiruta (7-0, 2 KOs), who prefers to be called “Mimi,” made her American debut with an impressive performance against Mexican veteran Maribel Ramirez (15-11-4) and retained the WBO super flyweight world title by unanimous decision at Commerce Casino in Commerce, Calif.

The pink-haired Japanese southpaw champion quickly proved to be quicker, stronger and even better than advertised. In the opening round Ramirez landed on the floor twice after throwing errant blows. On one instance, it could have been ruled a knockdown but it was not a convincing blow.

In the second round, Ramirez again attacked and again was met with a Hiruta check right hook and down went the Mexican. This time referee Ray Corona gave the eight-count and the fight resumed.

It was Hiruta’s third title defense but this time it was on American soil. She seemed nervous by the prospect of getting a favorable review from the more than 700 fans inside the casino tent.

For more than a year Hiruta has been training off and on with Manny Robles in the L.A. area. Now that she has a visa, she has spent considerable time this year learning the tricks of the trade. They proved explosively effective.

Though Mexico City’s Ramirez has considerable experience against world champions, she discovered that Hiruta was not easy to hit. Often, the Japanese champion would slip and counter with precision.

It was an impressive American debut, though the fight was stopped in the eighth round after a collision of heads. The scores were tallied and all three saw Hiruta the winner by scores of 80-71 twice and 79-72.

“I’m so happy. I could have done much more,” said Hiruta through interpreter Yuriko Miyata. “I wanted to do more things that Manny Robles taught me.”

Trinidad Wins Too

Omar Trinidad (18-0-1, 13 KOs) discovered that challenger Mike Plania (31-5, 18 KOs) has a very good chin and staying power. But over 10 rounds Trinidad proved to be too fast and too busy for the Filipino challenger.

Immediately it was evident that the East L.A. featherweight was too quick and too busy for Plania who preferred a counter-puncher attack that never worked.

“He was strong,” said Trinidad. “He took everything.”

After 10 redundant rounds all three judges scored for Trinidad 100-90 twice and 99-91. He retains the WBC Continental Americas title.

Other Bouts

Ali Akhmedov (23-1, 17 KOs) blasted out Malcolm Jones (17-5-1) in less than two rounds. A dozen punches by Akhmedov forced referee Thomas Taylor to stop the super middleweight fight.

Iyana “Roxy” Verduzco (3-0) bloodied Lindsey Ellis in the first round and continued the speedy assault in the next two rounds. Referee Ray Corona saw enough and stopped the fight in favor of Verduzco at 1:34 of the third round.

Gloria Munguilla (7-1) and Brook Sibrian (5-2) lit up the boxing ring with a nonstop clash for eight rounds in their light flyweight fight. Munguilla proved effective with a slip-and-counter attack. Sibrian adjusted and made the fight closer in the last four rounds but all three judges favored Munguilla.

More Winners

Joshua Anton, Tayden Beltran, Adan Palma, and Alexander Gueche all won their bouts.

Avila Perspective, Chap. 309: 360 Promotions Opens with Trinidad, Mizuki and More

Avila Perspective, Chap. 309: 360 Promotions Opens with Trinidad, Mizuki and More

Best wishes to the survivors of the Los Angeles wildfires that took place last week and are still ongoing in small locales.

Most of the heavy damage took place in the western part of L.A. near the ocean due to Santa Ana winds. Another very hot spot was in Altadena just north of the Rose Bowl. It was a horrific tragedy.

Hopefully the worst is over.

Pro boxing returns with 360 Boxing Promotions spotlighting East L.A.’s Omar Trinidad (17-0-1, 13 KOs) defending a regional featherweight title against Mike Plania (31-4, 18 KOs) on Friday, Jan. 17, at the Commerce Casino in Commerce, Calif.

“I’m the king of L.A. boxing and I’ll be ready to put on a show headlining again in the main event. This is my year, I’m ready to challenge and defeat any of the featherweight world champions,” said Trinidad.

UFC Fight Pass will stream the Hollywood Night fight card that includes a female world championship fight and other intriguing match-ups.

Tom Loeffler heads 360 Promotions and once again comes full force with a hot prospect in Trinidad. If you’re not familiar with Loeffler’s history of success, he introduced America to Oleksandr Usyk, Gennady “GGG” Golovkin and the brothers Wladimir and Vitaly Kltischko.

“We’ve got a wealth of international talent and local favorites to kick off our 2025 in grand style,” said Loeffler.

He knows talent.

Trinidad hails from the Boyle Heights area of East L.A. near the Los Angeles riverbed. Several fighters from the past came from that exact area including the first Golden Boy, Art Aragon.

Aragon was a huge gate attraction during the late 1940s until 1960. He was known as a lady’s man and dated several Hollywood starlets in his time. Though he never won a world title he did fight world champions Carmen Basilio, Jimmy Carter and Lauro Salas. He was more or less the king of the Olympic Auditorium and Los Angeles boxing during his career.

Other famous boxers from the Boyle Heights area were notorious gangster Mickey Cohen and former world champion Joey Olivo.

Can Trinidad reach world title status?

Facing Trinidad will be Filipino fighter Plania who’s knocked off a couple of prospects during his career including Joshua “Don’t Blink” Greer and Giovanni Gutierrez. The fighter from General Santos in the Philippines can crack and hold his own in the boxing ring.

It’s a very strong fight card and includes WBO world titlist Mizuki Hiruta of Japan who defends the super flyweight title against Mexican veteran Maribel Ramirez. It’s a tough matchup for Hiruta who makes her American debut. You can’t miss her with that pink hair and she has all the physical tools to make a splash in this country.

Mizukii Hiruta

Mizukii Hiruta

Two other female bouts are also planned, including light flyweight banger L.A.’s Gloria Munguilla (6-1) against Coachella’s Brook Sibrian (5-1) in a match set for six rounds. Both are talented fighters. Another female fight includes super featherweights Iyana “Right Hook Roxy” Verduzco (2-0) versus Lindsey Ellis (2-1) in another six-rounder. Ellis can crack with all her wins coming via knockout. Verduzco is a multi-national titlist as an amateur.

Others scheduled to perform are Ali Akhmedov, Joshua Anton, Adan Palma and more.

Doors open at 4:30 p.m.

Boxing and the Media

The sport of professional boxing is currently in flux. It’s always in flux but no matter what people may say or write, boxing will survive.

Whether you like Jake Paul or not, he proved boxing has worldwide appeal with monstrous success in his last show. He has media companies looking at the numbers and imagining what they can do with the sport.

Sure, UFC is negotiating a massive billion dollar deal with media companies, as is WWE, both are very similar in that they provide combat entertainment. You don’t need to know the champions because they really don’t matter. Its about the attractions.

Boxing is different. The good champions last and build a following that endures even beyond their careers a la Mike Tyson.

MMA can’t provide that longevity, but it does provide entertainment.

Currently, there is talk of establishing a boxing league again. It’s been done over and over but we shall see if it sticks this time.

Pro boxing is the true warrior’s path and that means a solo adventure. It’s a one-on-one sport and that appeals to people everywhere. It’s the oldest sport that can be traced to prehistoric times. You don’t need classes in Brazilian Jiujitsu, judo, kick boxing or wrestling. Just show up in a boxing gym and they can put you to work.

It’s a poor person’s path that can lead to better things and most importantly discipline.
