“Teo has some sort of ability to make other fighters not throw a lot of punches and move a lot more then their usually style,” Shakur said on X. “I seen it with Loma, Ortiz, Sandor Martin And now Rolly. None the less Teo did what he could with the style that was presented and got the job done!” The comparison does not hold up. Vasiliy Lomachenko, Jamaine Ortiz, and Sandor Martin were already skilled boxers and counterpunchers. Martin frequently stood his ground against Lopez, catching him with hooks and putting him down twice, although only one knockdown was called.…

The Ring previously excluded Romero because of inactivity. He returned Saturday night, fought with little urgency, surrendered his WBA title to Teofimo Lopez and was rewarded with a ranking. The panel effectively treated losing as a promotional achievement because Romero remains a recognizable name. If inactivity made him unworthy before the fight, a poor performance followed by a defeat should not have restored him. Romero threw only 352 punches across 12 rounds and allowed Lopez to take control without producing anything close to an elite performance. Lopez belongs in the top 10 after collecting the WBA belt, but placing him…

Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira conceded, “I don’t know what’s going to happen”, when asked about the future of Allan amid ongoing interest from Manchester City. Allan has reportedly been identified as the player City want to replace Savinho, who is closing in on a move to fellow Premier League side Tottenham. It has been reported that the 22-year-old has a €100m (£85.5m) release clause, though City are confident they can complete a deal for less than half of that fee. Since breaking into the first team, Allan has made 96 appearances across all competitions for Palmeiras, scoring nine goals and providing…
The habit resembles fellow Cuban David Morrell, who often remained behind his guard while opponents unloaded. It eventually cost Morrell when Zak Chelli stopped him in the 10th round of their major upset last May. Such a flaw will need to be corrected against better opposition. Allowing a powerful fighter to build confidence and accumulate punches is dangerous, even when most of the shots are blocked. Still, Bentley must survive the return fire to exploit it. Veron absorbed clean punches throughout Saturday’s fight that would have knocked out an average middleweight with a lesser chin. He never went down or…

“Boots is chomping at the bit to get back in the ring, and I’m told there are advanced negotiations for Jaron Ennis to face Josh Kelly in a unification fight sometime in November or December,” Mannix said during DAZN’s Sources Say. “Josh Kelly, coming off a win this past month, had some injury issues after that fight. He had a nose injury, but Matchroom, Boots’ team, believes that injury will be healed. I’m told they are targeting that fight on the East Coast before the end of this year.” If Kelly were a stronger champion, he might be able to…
