Last night was a big night for boxing. The first Undisputed Champion in any division was crowned, when Terence “Bud” Crawford (32-0, 23 KO’s) defeated Julius Indongo (22-1, 11 KO’s) via 3rd round knockout. Crawford is not the first Undisputed Champion since Bernard Hopkins did it in 2004 when he defeated Oscar De La Hoya. Crawford won the WBA and IBF Junior Welterweight titles last night, and unified them with his own WBC and WBO Junior Welterweight titles. Crawford also hold TheRing Magazine Light Welterweight title, which gives him all of the championships in the 140 pound division. He simply stands alone as champion.

The first round of last nights fight was somewhat uneventful except for the huge left hand that Crawford landed, as both fighters were trying to feel each other out. From the start you could see that Indongo was tight and very nervous. This was by far his biggest fight to date. Crawford did out land Indongo in the first, and the difference in speed and skill level was immediately apparent. In the second, Indongo would get a bit looser and throw more, but Crawford would land counter after counter, and put him down in the second. In the third round, Crawford dodged a looping wide left hand from Indongo, and came up the middle with an uppercut right to the gut which put Indongo down for good. It was a perfect body shot at the perfect time. Indongo was defenseless while throwing the looping shot and paid the price. He would not beat the 10 count, and it goes down as a KO victory to win the Undisputed Junior Welterweight championship.

Malignaggi Wants McGregor In A Winner Take All Match

Posted: August 15, 2017 in Breaking News
Tags: #Boxeo, #boxing, #boxingblog, #BoxingNews, #DavidJukic, #FloydMayweather, #insideringside, #KO, #mayweather, #MayweatherMcGregor, #MikeStafford, #Money, #PaulieMalignaggi, #showtime, #showtimechampionshipboxing, #ShowtimePPV, #TKO, #TMT, #USA

As if the beating he received from Connor McGregor in a sparring session wasn’t enough, Paulie Malignaggi now wants to fight Connor McGregor in a winner take all match, after McGregor faces Floyd Mayweather on August 26th. MNalignaggi’s boxing career is over, and should not be resurrected unless he likes getting beat up. Paulie was a solid fighter against second tier opponents, but is more known for his losses, as most of them were pretty brutal. All the good fighters that he has ever faced have beaten him which includes Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, Amir Khan, Adrien Broner, Shawn Porter, and Danny Garcia.

The names that Malignaggi did defeat, are not household names, even to the hardcore boxing fan. Malignaggi said that he would give up the entire pot if he lost to McGregor, which by all means he would. He went on to say, “You saw the edited footage. Winner take all should suit him if he had that easy time with me, right? Can’t edit that. August 26th theres no video editing. I’d fight him in a winner takes all match. Winner takes all if he’s that much better then me at this boxing as the edited video shows.” This seems like a last desperate attempt for a payday, because even if Malignaggi lost the fight and gave up the entire pot, he would still make money off of endorsements, which would probably total more then the pot itself. McGregor will not accept this fight, because he said he wants to do more in boxing after the Mayweather fight. That means he wants boxing money from big fights that he won’t get if he fights Malignaggi. Should McGregor tale the Malignaggi fight and lose, he would never get a big fight in boxing after that. Fight won’t happen, and Malignaggi will do a lot of talking because of it.

Lomachenko Destroys Marriaga

What can be said about Vasyl Lomachenko (9-1, 7 KO’s)? Is he the perfect boxer? The answer is yes, especially after he took apart Miguel Marriaga (25-3, 21 KO’s) and embarrassed him this past Saturday night. It was an unbelievable performance from start to finish, and I believe that Lomachenko is the hardest man in boxing to defeat. From start to finish, he was toying with Marriaga, hitting him from all angles with every kind of punch imaginable. In the first 3 rounds, Lomachenko was zooming in and out of punching range, creating all kinds of angles and just tapping Marriaga.

After the 3rd round, Lomachenko started punching a bit harder. It didn’t really matter if he exposed himself defensively, because its not like Marriaga could hit him anyway. Lomachenko knocked Marriaga down in the third with a perfect straight left while marriaga was off balance. In the 6th round, Lomachenko actually turned around and walked straight into the corner and begged Marriaga to come at him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a boxer do that before. Lomachenko continued to come forward and pressure Marriaga after that, and in the 7th round he knocked him down again. Between rounds 7 and 8, Marriaga’s corner informed the referee that Marriaga no longer wanted to continue. There was no point really, as Marriaga lost every second of this fight in embarrassing fashion. There was absolutely no way that Marriaga had any chance to do anything meaningful in this fight, so there was really no point to continue.

Broner Fails Against Garcia

For some strange reason, Adrien Broner (30-3, 24 KO’s) just doesn’t let his hands go against top fighters. It was no different this past saturday night, as Mikey Garcia (37-0, 30 KO’s) was victorious in his first try at 140 pounds. Broner won the first round, and then wouldn’t win one for a while after that. Mikey Garcia started finding his range in the second, and once he found it, he had Broner on the ropes.

That would be the story for most of the fight, as Garcia would land with both hands and daze Broner a few times. In the 8th round, Broner would finally wake up and start throwing punches. He nailed Garcia with a blistering combination with the left hook stunning Garcia for a few moments. The 9th was more of the same, as Garcia wasn’t looking so good. At this point though, Broner’s only chance to win was by KO, and Mikey Garcia wasn’t having it. Garcia finished off the last two rounds pretty strong, and cruised to a unanimous decision victory. Is Broner’s career now in trouble? I think so!
