Mike Tyson’s immortal punching power was evident throughout his career, but none more so than in a few exceptional circumstances. One such instance came when Tyson demolished a New York State Boxing Hall of Famer in 38 seconds, a win widely overlooked as a solid victory. Tyson battered Lou Savarese at Hampden Park in the UK as part of his farewell tour.

Shakur Stevenson has accused Top Rank of trying to make him look bad in his final fight for a long-term contract on Saturday. The undefeated WBC super lightweight champion fought and defeated Artem Harutyunyan in defense of his belt but failed to set the world alight again. No matter how dominant, Stevenson’s performances continually come in for flak from fans in the aftermath.

It was Ryan Garcia’s first public appearance since a social media storm. Unfortunately for him, it ended badly for the suspended super lightweight. Security threw Garcia out of the Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal event after an alleged altercation with fans. Reports state that Garcia was immediately involved in verbal exchanges following his explosion on Twitter, which led to WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman expelling the 25-year-old from the organization.

Shane Mosley predicts a punishing fight for Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in his potential unification clash against IBF lightweight champion Vasily Lomachenko later this year. The former three-division world champion Mosley says Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) will get hit a lot by Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs), and it won’t be as easy for him to land his big counter shots as it is against his past opposition.

Gervonta Davis’ assistant coach, Kenny Ellis, doubts Shakur Stevenson would beat #1 rated lightweight contender William Zepeda. Top Rank has been protecting Shakur since he turned pro, but whoever signs him as a free agent will want him to fight a natural killer like Zepeda. That could be game over for Shakur.

New York Post

Unbeaten American Shakur Stevenson retained his World Boxing Council lightweight world title with a methodical unanimous decision victory over Artem Harutyunyan on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark. 

Stevenson improved to 22-0 with 10 wins inside the distance, making his first defence of the title he won with a narrow decision over Dominican puncher Edwin De Los Santos last November.

That made Stevenson a three-weight world champion, but it was a lackluster showing from both fighters and Stevenson did little on Saturday to quiet critics demanding more fireworks in his last fight under contract to promoter Top Rank.

Ryan Garcia backtracked on his plans to go to rehab days after becoming embroiled in a social media storm over controversial comments. The 25-year-old faced heavy fire over his views on race and religion, which many believe were made under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal: ‘Last Man Standing’ goes down tonight (Sat. Jul 6th, 2024) from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. And because California is one of the few athletic commissions left still demanding promoters provide payout information for their events, we know roughly how much everyone is going to make off the card.

Anthony Pettis was just a little too slow and Chris Avila was a little too slick in their undercard fight on the Diaz vs. Masvidal: Last Man Standing card. Avila would decision Pettis with 58-56, 59-55, and 59-55 scores across six rounds. The longtime training partner of Nate Diaz was the more active fighter, peppering Pettis endlessly. None of that output seemed to bother Pettis too much, but it did seem to stifle the output of “Showtime.” Add in the solid footwork, glove defense, and head movement? Avila simply outboxed his opponent.
