Dougie’s Monday Mailbag (Charlo-Castano, JoJo Diaz, Lomachenko, GBP, Al Haymon)

CHARLO VS. CASTANO, LOMA WHAT IFS?

Greetings, Doug,

Haven’t despatched my ideas for some time, however I additionally didn’t see mailbags currently. Hope all is nicely.

I absolutely hope Charlo-Castano not gonna be scratched by COVID throughout battle week. It grew to become an disagreeable tendency currently.

As of the battle itself… I feel, Castano will push Charlo early on. However I really feel like he’s total a bit smallish for this weight (particularly, compared to Charlo) and his type would play into Jermell’s fingers. Ultimately, Charlo will hit him with one thing nasty on the way in which in.

Anyway, Castano has an honest higher physique motion. And he’s able to defending himself whereas coming ahead – deflecting incoming pictures along with his gloves, whereas coming at his opponent. However unsure he’ll be capable of do this successfully on common foundation. He’s nonetheless hittable. And I suppose Charlo will discover the house for his uppercuts or hooks across the guard. How do you see this undisputed conflict taking part in out?

Additionally, two weeks in the past, within the aftermath of Loma-Nakatani bout, my dad raised an attention-grabbing subject by asking – why didn’t Loma flip professional after grabbing his first gold? And I spotted I by no means considered that deeply. That made me dive into boxing archives and discover rankings from that point interval. Let’s say, Loma turns professional in late 2008 or a yr after the Olympics in 2009. And once more, taking the identical route – signing with High Rank, beginning at 126 and within the WBO rankings. Would he be given a title shot as rapidly as he obtained it in 2014, in solely his 2nd professional bout? If sure, then the WBO featherweight champion at the moment was Steve Luevano, who was additionally a High Rank fighter, if I recall. I don’t have a transparent reminiscence of Luevano. Solely that he was a succesful, however weak fighter. He’d be a stable activity for Loma in his 2nd or third professional bout, however would it not be more durable than Salido?

However offering Loma overcomes Luevano, two pink scorching fighters could be awaiting him by the late 2009. They’re Juanma Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa. Each of their primes. How would Loma fare in opposition to each? What’d be your tackle how these match-ups play out?

It’s also doable Lomachenko may’ve began at 130. In that case, him versus fighters like Joan Guzman and Robert Guerrero might be doable down the road. Now, beginning instantly at 135 could be tall order and a mere fantasy. However the pool of fighters in that weight class was “who’s who”. From Child Bull Diaz and Nate Campbell to Marquez and Casamayor. Your picks in all these fights, on condition that Loma already obtained at the least 5 professional bouts below his belt?

In conclusion, JoJo Diaz is constructing a pleasant resume. I feel, the scoring of his bout in opposition to Fortuna relies on what type you like. However to me, Diaz received this manner or the opposite. It’s a query of a margin. JoJo isn’t the brightest fighter, however he can perform a little little bit of every thing within the ring. That stated, regardless of his success on Friday, I don’t see him beating Garcias, Haneys and Teofimos of this division. Do you see it the identical manner? Finest regards. – Edward

I wouldn’t depend JoJo out at 135 kilos. In Javier Fortuna, he beat a harmful contender with a clumsy type that not one of the high lightweights had been in a rush to battle. Now that’s gone a tough 12 rounds in opposition to a world-rated light-weight, he’s obtained the boldness that he carried into the ring at 126 and 130 kilos. Don’t neglect that Diaz was second solely to Errol Spence Jr. by way of professional potential among the many 2012 U.S. Olympic squad. And he’s put collectively one of many strongest resumes amongst fighters who’re below 30. He’s shared the ring with an elite-level veteran in Gary Russell Jr., world-class boxers with Fortuna and Tevin Farmer, high -10 contenders with Jesus Rojas and Jayson Velez, rugged fringe contenders (who grew to become world-class) with Rene Alvarado and Andrew Cancio, and unbeaten up-and-comers with Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov, Manuel Avila and Rafael Rivera. That’s a formidable listing of 10 opponents who’ve contributed to Diaz’s superior expertise. I do know that Lopez has Loma, Commey and Nakatani on his resume, which is why he’s the person at 135 kilos proper now, however do Garcia and Haney have the scalps on their resume to match JoJo’s physique of labor? Solely Loma and Jorge Linares – the “oldheads” of the light-weight division – can provide you with 10 badasses on their information.

I absolutely hope Charlo-Castano not gonna be scratched by COVID throughout battle week. It grew to become an disagreeable tendency currently. Calm down. It’s going to occur. The “COVID Jinx” solely occurs with pay-per-view occasions with struggling gates.

I feel Castano will push Charlo early on. So do I. He would possibly push Charlo all through the undisputed championship showdown.

However I really feel like he’s total a bit smallish for this weight (particularly, compared to Charlo) and his type would play into Jermell’s fingers. He’s shorter (at 5-foot-7½), not “smaller.” Dude’s obtained a large again and thick legs. He’s sturdy and assured in his pressure-fighting type, which can not play as nicely into Charlo’s fingers and plenty of suppose. Remember the fact that Castano handled Pat Teixeira’s determined peak and attain “benefits” very nicely.

Ultimately, Charlo will hit him with one thing nasty on the way in which in. Yeah, however Castano’s chin is perhaps simply as dependable as Charlo’s whiskers (I’ve by no means seen him damage). And he’s not as straightforward to hit as his aggressive strategy to boxing would counsel. He covers up nicely along with his excessive guard and he’s adept at blocking punches.

Anyway, Castano has an honest higher physique motion. Sure, he does. He’s additionally obtained a pleasant jab (to the physique and head), which he makes use of nicely together with feints to assist him shut the space on opponents. His footwork can also be underrated. I feel his toes are fairly nimble (he is aware of when to take a half step again), however its’ a capability that’s neglected as a result of he’s an aggressive, come-forward kind.

And he’s able to defending himself whereas coming ahead – deflecting incoming pictures along with his gloves, whereas coming at his opponent. I’m glad you seen this. This skill and his “sensible stress” may give Charlo issues. Prior to now it was stick-and-movers (Demetrius Hopkins, John Jackson, Tony Harrison of their first battle) who gave Mell issues. Those that stood in entrance him (Charles Hatley, Erickson Lubin, Jorge Cota) obtained iced. However those that knew dictate distance may final and compete (as Austin Trout did). Those that may press ahead behind a very good jab (Vanes Martirosyan, Harrison within the rematch) may go tit-for-tat (at the least for 10 rounds). Castano is a rugged cat from a boxing household who had an in depth newbie profession and is now an professional stalker with good boxing expertise. His background and elegance means that he can compete with Charlo.

However unsure he’ll be capable of do this successfully on common foundation. He did vs. a grasp boxer in Erislandy Lara and gangly, tough-as-nails volume-puncher in Teixeira.

He’s nonetheless hittable. So is Charlo.

And I suppose Charlo will discover the house for his uppercuts or hooks across the guard. I feel uppercuts and physique pictures are the fitting punches to earn Canstano’s respect.

How do you see this undisputed conflict taking part in out? I feel Castano will prolong Charlo the total 12 and power the unified Ring champ to field and transfer the way in which he did early in his profession, however I count on the Houston native to earn an in depth, hard-fought choice.

Additionally, two weeks in the past, within the aftermath of Loma-Nakatani bout, my dad raised an attention-grabbing subject by asking – why didn’t Loma flip professional after grabbing his first gold? That made me dive into boxing archives and discover rankings from that point interval. Let’s say, Loma turns professional in late 2008 or a yr after the Olympics in 2009. … the WBO featherweight champion at the moment was Steve Luevano, who was additionally a High Rank fighter, if I recall. He was.

I don’t have a transparent reminiscence of Luevano. Solely that he was a succesful, however weak fighter. He was succesful, interval, a solid-all-around southpaw technician. He wasn’t any extra weak than some other world titleholder.

He’d be a stable activity for Loma in his 2nd or third professional bout, however would it not be more durable than Salido? Not as bodily demanding however he wouldn’t be a stylistic stroll within the park. I feel Loma would earn a transparent UD in a aggressive chess match.

However offering Loma overcomes Luevano, two pink scorching fighters could be awaiting him by the late 2009. They’re Juanma Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa. Each of their primes. How would Loma fare in opposition to each? Lopez’s crunching punching energy would make him harmful, however Loma’s pace, feints and footwork could be an excessive amount of for the Puerto Rican’s methodical southpaw stalking type to beat. Gamboa’s intensive newbie expertise and explosive athleticism would pose extra of a risk to Loma, nonetheless, the Cuban had poor fundamentals even throughout his peak years. Loma would take full benefit of Gamboa’s dangerous stability, defensive holes and tendency to lunge in with wild punches. I feel Loma would outpoint each titleholders.

It’s also doable Lomachenko may’ve began at 130. In that case, him versus fighters like Joan Guzman and Robert Guerrero might be doable down the road. Guzman and Guerrero could be harder than Lopez and Gamboa. Guzman had 300+ newbie fights and a busy, unorthodox-but-fluid boxing type; whereas teak-tough Ghost was an enormous for the load class. I feel Loma may outmaneuver Guerrero, who was a stable technician however was sluggish of foot, however I view the Guzman matchup as even cash. Guzman had loopy upper-body motion, good footwork, and quick combos that he may drop from odd angles. The Dominican additionally placed on A LOT of weight after the weigh-in, so Loma must take care of that too. However I feel the Ukrainian wizard would eke out a really shut, possibly majority or cut up choice.

Now, beginning instantly at 135 could be tall order and a mere fantasy. Bro, all of that is “fantasy.”

However the pool of fighters in that weight class was “who’s who”. From Child Bull Diaz and Nate Campbell to Marquez and Casamayor. Your picks in all these fights, on condition that Loma already obtained at the least 5 professional bouts below his belt? Juan Diaz’s stress, quick fingers and quantity punching would give Loma a troublesome time however I feel the grasp boxer’s footwork, angles and physique punching would see him via to an in depth choice. I feel Loma’s cell southpaw type is all mistaken for The Galaxy Warrior and JMM – I envision him successful shut however clear UDs vs. each (possibly Marquez may make it an MD), however Casamayor’s mix of newbie expertise, versatile boxing and soiled/roughhouse ways would permit him to outpoint his fellow Olympic gold medalist in a tit-for-tat battle that ends in frustration for Loma.

 

PROPS TO GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS

Golden Boy promotions very often takes plenty of criticism; for my part the criticism is commonly unwarranted and, typically has extra to with their figurehead, the Golden Boy himself – Oscar De La Hoya. For no matter cause, not too long ago Oscar De La Hoya has develop into a marmite character. Personally, I feel he’s a fighter who outlined his era and averted no fighter. Love him or hate him, his workforce is main the way in which by way of matchmaking. Golden Boy matchmaker Robert Diaz and his workforce are continuously delivering. Each card is filled with high quality motion from high to backside. Golden Boy actually invests in creating their fighters, matching them powerful, stepping them up every battle and offering a manner again after a loss.

The weekend’s card headlined by Ramirez-Barrera was top quality from high to backside and it’s not the primary time. Personally, they’re spotlight of the DAZN schedule. On paper do any of the Battle Camp playing cards have the identical look? I’d argue not.

The Fb reside stream that preceded the DAZN broadcast is what an undercard must be. Fighters in any respect ranges in good testing fights topped with a world title battle. In that world title battle, Lou Moret’s 99-91 card in favour of Naoko Fujioka over Sulem Urbina is the adverse from the entire promotion. The commentary on the Fb aspect was led by Beto Duràn, who was joined by varied friends, together with Golden Boy fighters Blair Cobbs and Marlen Esparza. The entire commentary was entertaining and DAZN take be aware – for my part they outshined the DAZN workforce.

Shifting ahead and taking part in matchmaker how about this triple header for September…

Gilberto Ramirez-Dmitry Bivol

Jojo Diaz-Ryan Garcia (William Zepeda if Garcia isn’t prepared)

Seniesa Estrada-Naoko Fujioka

Loving The Ring particular options; the Sugar Ray Robinson version is one of the best learn of the yr for me to this point… All one of the best. – Jaime

Thanks for the sort phrases, Jaime. We put plenty of ardour and arduous work into the latest Marvin Hagler tribute and Sugar Ray Robinson particular version, so it feels nice to know that the publications are appreciated by true followers. We’re engaged on one other particular difficulty proper now, one that may rejoice of the profession of a residing legend from south of the (U.S.) boarder. Viva Mexico!

It was fantastic to be on “press row” for a serious present in L.A. with fan attendance this previous Friday. Mark my phrases, the Banc of California Stadium goes to develop into the house for the largest boxing occasions hosted in California. It’s a terrific open-air venue. Kudos to Golden Boy for stacking the Ramirez-Barrera undercard as a lot as they did. I assumed Diaz-Fortuna stole the present, whereas Seniesa Estrada proved herself as an elite feminine boxer and William Zepeda established himself as a risk within the 135-pound division (in addition to must-see TV).

I feel we might ultimately witness these three bouts you proposed for a “follow-up triple header” to Friday’s occasion, however they could not occur till 2022 and I doubt they’ll share the identical card.

Golden Boy promotions very often takes plenty of criticism; for my part the criticism is commonly unwarranted and infrequently has extra to with their figurehead, the Golden Boy himself – Oscar De La Hoya. I agree. De La Hoya actually bugs the s__t out of some followers and trade insiders. They keep #Salty.

For no matter cause, not too long ago Oscar De La Hoya has develop into a marmite character. He’s undoubtedly polarizing. Typically I feel he’s simply trolling for laughs or consideration. Some followers get it, others don’t. Different instances, of us get their panties in a bunch over his opinions on inconsequential issues.

Personally, I feel he’s a fighter who outlined his era and averted no fighter. That ain’t an opinion. That’s the reality.

Love him or hate him, his workforce is main the way in which by way of matchmaking. Golden Boy matchmaker Robert Diaz and his workforce are continuously delivering. They take as a lot pleasure in making aggressive and entertaining fights as they do in creating their expertise. You’ll be able to’t say that about each promotional firm.

Golden Boy actually invests in creating their fighters, matching them powerful, stepping them up every battle and offering a manner again after a loss. That final half you talked about is necessary to notice. It’s one thing I actually respect about GBP. They didn’t dismiss JoJo Diaz after his loss to Russell, they usually didn’t lose religion when he missed weight (vs. Rojas and Rakhimov). Now he’s a participant within the loaded light-weight division. They introduced Joshua Franco again after a TKO loss and two attracts. Now he’s a participant within the deep 115-pound division.

They’re within the strategy of bringing again Joet Gonzalez, Lamont Roach Jr., Ronny Rios, Marlen Esparza and Azat Hovhannisyan. GBP didn’t maintain it in opposition to them once they suffered setbacks vs. high opposition; they understand that dropping is a part of boxing and perceive that it may well construct character and make fighters higher in the event that they be taught from the expertise. You watch, a few of these GBP fighters who suffered losses that I discussed are going to win main world titles within the subsequent 12 months. And through that point, they’ll convey Bek Bully and Hector Tanajara again too.

The weekend’s card headlined by Ramirez-Barrera was top quality from high to backside and it’s not the primary time. You ain’t tellin’ no lies! Preach!

Personally, they’re spotlight of the DAZN schedule. On paper do any of the Battle Camp playing cards have the identical look? I’d argue not. Ah, come on, man, you don’t should piss on Sir Eddie with a purpose to big-up De La Hoya and Firm. Final summer season’s Battle Camp exhibits had been off the hook, and to this point this yr Hearn has delivered the Battle-of-the-Yr frontrunner (Estrada-Gonzalez II) and a record-breaking indoor crowd (for Canelo-Saunders). Each GBP and Matchroom are doing their factor.

The Fb reside stream that preceded the DAZN broadcast is what an undercard must be. How about that two-round heavyweight shootout (Mihai Nistor vs. Colby Madison)!?!?

In that world title battle, Lou Moret’s 99-91 card in favour of Naoko Fujioka over Sulem Urbina is the adverse from the entire promotion. I missed the battle (my fault for miscalculating Inglewood-to-L.A. site visitors and the time it takes to get from a car parking zone right into a stadium), however I’ll catch the replay this week as a result of I used to be wanting ahead to that one. From what my Boxing Twitter TL advised me, it was an in depth battle – both a draw an in depth win for Fujioka – and Moret’s card was pure ass.

The commentary on the Fb aspect was led by Beto Duràn, who was joined by varied friends, together with Golden Boy fighters Blair Cobbs and Marlen Esparza. They had been insightful and plenty of enjoyable (which is what it’s all about). Beto is a professional’s professional with nice power.

The entire commentary was entertaining and DAZN take be aware – for my part they outshined the DAZN workforce. Ah, come on, man, there you go once more…

 

AL HAYMON AND MISSED OPPORTUNIES

I wished to get your ideas on Al Haymon. Do you suppose he’s good for boxing? I’ve learn not too long ago that the Canelo vs Plant negotiations are usually not progressing. Canelo plans on preventing in 2 months and there’s no signal of the Plant battle being finalised. I’m not even barely stunned by this and by no means anticipated the battle to occur. It’s by far the largest cash battle of Plant’s profession and an opportunity to develop into undisputed. Plant must be chomping on the bit for this battle!

Charlo was provided thousands and thousands – by far the largest payday of his profession, to battle Andrade – one other undefeated American 2-weight world champion. Wilder was provided 100 million {dollars} for 4 fights on DAZN and an opportunity to develop into undisputed. Luis Ortiz was provided thousands and thousands to battle Joshua, by far the largest payday of his profession. All of them turned these affords down. And Tank Davis vs any of the highest fighters from 130 – 140 lbs aint occurring. Do you’ve gotten any thought what Haymon says to those guys to get them to show down the largest paydays and legacy fights of their careers?

I give credit score the place it’s due, PBC have put collectively some good fights lately, particularly at welterweight (although not the battle all of us need, which isn’t occurring anytime quickly). Fury and Wilder have crossed the promotional divide a number of instances now (isn’t it loopy that Tyson Fury has by no means defended a championship?) nevertheless it appears to me that Golden Boy, Matchroom, High Rank and the opposite huge gamers work collectively way more typically than PBC, who undoubtedly choose to maintain every thing in-house, even when it means their fighters are inactive and lacking out on significant fights and large paydays.

Would like to get your ideas and thanks once more for the nice work you guys do!

All the way in which from Eire. – Steve

I feel Haymon/PBC does an incredible job with its Showtime partnership. This Saturday’s primary occasion – the Charlo-Castano undisputed junior middleweight championship – is a major instance. The PBC/Fox partnership isn’t pretty much as good for my part, however there’s at all times a gem or two on these broadcasts and a number of the PPV occasions are high quality (the Aug. 21 Pacquiao-Spence showdown is a major instance).

PBC has an enormous secure, probably the most U.S. expertise, and two main broadcast companions. They hustle their asses off like each different promotional firm and customarily do it on the world-class degree, so the corporate/group is clearly a plus for the game. Are they good? No. However each promotional firm has its strengths and weaknesses.

The principle factor that frustrates me about how Haymon runs his operation (and it may be seen as a power AND weak point) is that he nonetheless goes about every thing like a supervisor/adviser (which is what he was previous to the 2015 formation of the PBC) reasonably than a promoter. He likes to sluggish prepare dinner every thing, even when coping with prime (probably elite) expertise. Typically he could be cautious to a fault.

I seen this throughout his supervisor/adviser years when the vast majority of his expertise was preventing below the Golden Boy banner. When GBP was televising developmental playing cards from Membership Nokia in L.A., Gary Russell Jr. fought thrice on these exhibits in 2010. I used to be doing commentary with Mario Solis, so I’d at all times attempt to get an early bout sheet from GBP with a purpose to put together for the printed. Each time Russell fought on that sequence, GBP’s matchmakers – recognizing his expertise and intensive newbie background – tried to place him in powerful, however by battle week his opponents had been switched out for journeymen with dropping information or badly pale veterans. Russell, who had 10 professional bouts below belt by the point he first appeared on the sequence (“Battle Evening Membership”), didn’t should be child fed along with his appreciable talent and talent.

Dragging out the event of gifted boxers continued when Haymon made the transition from perennial Supervisor of the Yr to promotional energy dealer. A major instance is Jermell Charlo, who some really feel ought to already be in Ring Journal’s Pound-for-Pound rankings (he’s not within the P4P high 10 of ESPN.com or the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board both, however no one cares about their legendary rankings – and let’s face it, some of us similar to to bitch and toss shade at us). The Charlo Boosters say Mell deserves to be in Ring’s P4P high 10 as a result of he’s a unified titleholder who’s about to battle for the undisputed championship, and I get their reasoning, however the majority of Ring’s P4P-ranked fighters unified main titles manner earlier than Charlo did. Jermell fought his first unification bout (vs. Jeison Rosario) in his 34^th bout. Naoya Inoue fought his first unification bout in his 18^th professional bout (vs. a future corridor of famer in his third weight class). Josh Taylor and Teofimo Lopez fought their first unification bouts of their 16^th professional bouts. Oleksandr Usyk did it in his 14^th professional bout (he was undisputed cruiserweight champ by his 15^th). Lomachenko did it in his 12^th professional bout.

It’s simply my opinion, however I feel Jermell, who fought for his first world title in 2016 in his 28^th professional bout, was prepared for the world by late 2013, undoubtedly by the tip of 2014.

I wished to get your ideas on Al Haymon. Do you suppose he’s good for boxing? He’s pretty much as good as some other main promoter/boxing energy dealer is. Actually, he’s higher than most.

I’ve learn not too long ago that the Canelo vs Plant negotiations are usually not progressing. Bummer however I’m not shocked.

Canelo plans on preventing in 2 months and there’s no signal of the Plant battle being finalised. I’m not even barely stunned by this and by no means anticipated the battle to occur. I’d name you a cynic, however you had been simply being life like.

It’s by far the largest cash battle of Plant’s profession and an opportunity to develop into undisputed. Plant must be chomping on the bit for this battle! Sure, he must be. And if he passes on this grand alternative, it’s on him – not Haymon or anybody else – for my part. Even when Haymon or others are telling him to not take the battle, he must be the ultimate phrase with reference to his profession. He’s not a creating prospect who must be protected. He’s mature world titleholder who has made a few defenses and is in his athletic prime. Difficult the No. 1 fighter in his division – in addition to pound-for-pound – is what it’s all about. If he declines the battle for enterprise causes, he must ask himself if he could make as a lot cash for as a lot reward going through anybody else.

Charlo was provided thousands and thousands – by far the largest payday of his profession – to battle Andrade, one other undefeated American 2-weight world champion. I’d reasonably see Jermall battle Jaime Munguia and even Chris Eubank than Boo Boo, however I get the place you’re coming from. Charlo vs. Andrade could be a contest between the 2 finest American middleweights and it might produce {a partially} unified beltholder.

Wilder was provided 100 million {dollars} for 4 fights on DAZN and an opportunity to develop into undisputed. I feel it was three fights, however yeah, that was a grand alternative vs. Anthony Joshua (and possibly a a lot better stylistic and psychological matchup for Wilder than Fury turned out to be).

Luis Ortiz was provided thousands and thousands to battle Joshua, by far the largest payday of his profession. All of them turned these affords down. That’s on THEM, tho! The fighter is meant to be the boss. The promoter is meant to work for the fighter! If the fighters actually need a sure battle they owe it to themselves to push for it it doesn’t matter what the promoter needs and no matter boxing’s varied politics. Golden Boy was in opposition to Canelo preventing Erislandy Lara so quickly after their Mexican star had been undressed by Floyd Mayweather, however Alvarez demanded it they usually delivered what he wished. Jorge Linares wished a giant unification showdown with WBC light-weight titleholder Mikey Garcia when he was the Ring/WBA champ. He didn’t give a rat’s ass that Garcia was working with Haymon. GBP went about making affords to Garcia. When it was clear that Garcia wasn’t going to chunk (even after GBP acquiesced to all his calls for), Linares set his sights on Lomachenko. Once more, he didn’t care that Loma was with High Rank and was preventing on ESPN. He was prepared to battle off of HBO with a purpose to be in a major battle. GBP allowed him to pursue his targets, despite the fact that it finally resulted in a 10-round TKO loss and the tip of his light-weight title reign on ESPN. Backside line, bro, the fighters gotta need it and understand their company.

And Tank Davis vs any of the highest fighters from 130-140 lbs ain’t occurring. Time will inform. He beat Jose Pedraza and Leo Santa Cruz at 130. He simply established himself as a participant at 140. We’ll see who he fights subsequent (and during which weight class).

Do you’ve gotten any thought what Haymon says to those guys to get them to show down the largest paydays and legacy fights of their careers? I don’t know and I don’t care. If they’ve established themselves as world class they usually aren’t prepared to push for the type of fights that may elevate them into elite standing, it’s their fault.
