DAZN has some sort of watermark serial # type thingy that keeps popping up on the stream. Must be their attempt at catching the illegal streamers.
Yep, cant see him maintaining this pace for long. Hes a great gatekeeper to the higher levels of heavyweight boxing. Shame he isn't more consistent.
ESPN+, 7:30 pm ET, Naoya Inoue vs Jason Moloney, Ewa Brodnicka vs Mikaela Mayer. Inoue making his Top Rank debut is a big deal, and Moloney is a good fighter. Mayer goes for her first world title shot against Brodnicka, with most I suspect favoring Mayer to win pretty handily. There’s much more on this show, too, including Jared “Big Baby” Anderson, Robson Conceicao vs Luis Coria, Andy Hiraoka, and more Inoue hasn’t fought in the U.S. since 2017, and this will be his first main event here, as well as his first fight under the Top Rank banner. The 27-year-old “Monster” has built an international cult following over the years, and there’s a lot of excitement about his career moving to the States. Moloney is a solid challenger and it should be a good main event as far as entertainment goes
SHO PPV, 9:00 pm ET, Gervonta Davis vs Leo Santa Cruz, Mario Barrios vs Ryan Karl, Isaac Cruz vs Diego Magdaleno, Regis Prograis vs Juan Heraldez. Davis, 25, will be defending the WBA’s secondary “world” (“regular”) lightweight title, while Santa Cruz, 32, puts his WBA “super world” junior lightweight title on the line. The fight’s weight limit is 130 pounds, making it possible for titles at 130 and 135 to be on the line. Also because it’s a nice promotional gimmick. Davis is the favorite here, but Santa Cruz is a highly accomplished pro who has won world titles in four weight classes. Most people see the question being whether or not Santa Cruz can fight at this level at 130, and we’ll see. There will be three fights on the undercard. Hometown fighter Mario Barrios will defend his WBA secondary “world” (“regular) junior welterweight title against Ryan Karl, former titleholder Regis Prograis will face Juan Heraldez in a 10-round junior welterweight bout (Prograis missed weight but the fight is on), and Isaac Cruz and Diego Magdaleno meet in an IBF eliminator at 135 pounds.
Uzi Vert rapping Tank to the ring. Tank in full Mexican robes and sombrero, straight out of the Floyd playbook.
