They found a replacement for Artur Beterbiev.
Bivol will face Malik Zinad instead. Zinad is 30 year old with a 20-0 record (16 KOs), currently ranked 9th.

Quite unfortunate that Beterbiev suffered a meniscus injury and will be out for the fight. He will be out until September hence, a replacement is needed. Well, the replacement is also undefeated apparently so it's still a battle of undefeated boxers. I guess let's just see what will happen on this one, and let's expect that whoever win on this match will be the one that Beterbiev will be facing when he comes back in the ring.

when Inoue fell,i think everyone who put their money on him must have been standing up and about to say goodbye to their money. 
but then he won by KO again. it isn't surprising but Inoue knocked down was more surprising, it kept watching over and over and it sure can be a big hole in his defense. it may just be his fall next if he fights someone on their heavier division.

this is the first time i saw Inoue showboating by the way. i guess that knock down crawled under his skin.

Not for me .
I also put some money on him even though the odds on Stake are only 1.20. I didn't expect him to be knocked down on the first round though and just for information, it's his first professional career knockdown but nevertheless, he got his revenge in the 2nd round, and continued to knock Nery down 2 more times until the 6th round.

I think even though it ended up as a decision, it's pretty obvious that Inoue will win on that one just because of how good he is per round. As for his showboating, it's not his first time doing it. He also did it with Stephen Fulton when they faced last time. I mean if you're fighting on your home country with more than 55,000 people watching, at least you need to entertain them a little bit and that's what he did.

Lomachenko vs Kambosos

We almost forget that there will be a good fight this weekend, Loma vs Kambosos. This fight was overshadowed by the recent fight of Canelo and Munguia then just the other night there was a fight between Inoue and Nery.

I do think that this fight will go to the distance with Loma winning as Kambosos is a tough nut to crack.

[bitbit97]

I good chance for Lomachenko to get on the track, because after that loss to Devin Haney, which looked like a robbery, he might be morally not ready fight. I am not quite sure that Kambosos is on the same level with Lomachenko to go full distance with him. If we look on their records, then Kambosos last fights were less convincing that he is the best, than Lomachenko. A questionable loss to Haney and two wins vs victory by majority decision and 2 losses. I am not surprised we have odds like that.

It could be that promotions is cooking something that is why it resulted in a controversial fight?  Because in the past years I've been watching boxing matches I've seen more questionable fights that happened against our country's team that is why a boxer should always have a knock out so anomaly could be prevented especially if the management's intention is to have a rematch so they can profit more from promotions. I could be wrong but yeah that is what I -observed.

We will find out, but having a lot of amateur fights and almost a perfect amateur career as he avenge his lost, he should be mentally more ready that ever. I think that fight against Haney is 50/50, as there are fight fans who score the fight for Haney specially that Loma is taken over the last half of the fight.

Nevertheless as I have said, he has move forward already and now another chance to have a belt against Kambosos in Australia. And he is the favorite in this fight so everything is falling into pieces. He just need to show the old Loma and win this fight by decision.

I also think that Loma's time in boxing is not yet over, but so is Kambosos, so with this fight, we should expect to give each one everything they have; in terms of skill and experience, Loma has the advantage, but Kambosos has the Aussies behind him, and he will use that to motivate him.
This is the kind of fight worth watching because they are in dire need of a win to stay in the boxing
whoever wins here will have a career resurgence, and the winner will contemplate whether he wants to continue or retire.

Kambosos is young as 30. that's still a prime age for someone who has been in boxing for years while Loma is in his decline. while i would favor Loma to have this IBF belt, he may retire if he loses this fight.  he got nowhere else to go.

but if he won, he should directly challenge Shakur right there after. no time to waste since this must be a fight that is the most exciting.  they almost have same style.

Yep, he is still in his prime, but I think he has taken too damage already, from the Teo Lopez fight which he won and twice against Haney and it could scar him for good.

But we will see, yeah, it should be Shakur for them after this fight. Not sure though if Shakur is willing, he used to be a Top Rank fighter but he refuses to re-sign a contract with Bob Arum. And maybe Bob won't give Shakur a chance to win a belt at this weight class, sort of revenge story for Top Rank.

Totally agree that Loma is now on a decline, performance-wise because of age as he is now 36 years of age, not that young if you are into this sport of sweet science but like what i said in my previous post that Loma's punch still got the sting and his technicality will pose problems for the younger Kambosos.

Have you guys seen the face-off it's one of the most intense face-offs I've seen, no one is blinking on their staredown as if both fighters are fighting on who will blink first and no one blinks, there's no thrash talk between the two, but you know the two is gearing for war because so much is at stake in this fight, their career is at stake on this fight, one will move on and the other will fall into oblivion.

The face-off was record-breaking and it went viral on social media especially on Twitter hehe.

Kambosos got schooled, he would have lost even if he wasn't TKO'd from the body shots. I don' t know what happened to him during the fight but maybe Lomachenko's constant pressure got to him.

Loma is just a better fighter than Kambosos that's why he won.
That body shot is just too much for him and add also the fact that his eye is bloody as well.

Looking at the current titles at Lightweight, there's still WBO that's still vacant. I wonder who will get that title as well. I mean Shakur got one which is the WBC, Tank Davis got the WBA, and now Lomachenko got the IBF. Any good fighters at Lightweight still?
Anyway, I've been watching boxing events for quite some time already, but it's my first time to see an announcer making a wrong announcement and announcing a wrong fighter to win the fight. Anybody saw that blooper? When I watched that, I said to myself that they need to fire that announcer after this event. He's Steve Harvey 2.0 .

It was also the first time I thought it only happens in pageants or in WWE or wrestling it should not happen in a title match because the other fighter will think that they are stealing his winning and the other fighter will think there's manipulation to make it appear she win, it steals the excitement from the real winner.
Anyway, the fight is too close. The fight could go either way, but one of the judges is very biased on how he scored the fight.

It would be a wide margin decision win for Loma if Kambosos wasn't KOed, that was my expectation. Kambosos was frustrated that he can't hit Loma with his power punch while Loma hit him at will whenever and wherever Loma wants. That was Loma's style, goes to the head first then dig in the body on the championship rounds. That liver shot was not a lucky punch as that was also the punch that KOed Jorge Linares.
