On The Watch “It’s All About Naoya Inoue vs Luis Nery”
Undisputed Junior Featherweight Showdown
Undisputed IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Junior Featherweight Champion Naoya Inoue (27-0, 24 Kos) once again continued his dominant performance this morning but did take a stray bullet in the form of a knockdown when he took on heavy fisted challenger Luis Nery (35-2, 27 Kos) at the Tokyo Dome in Japan.
Both combatants came out the gate looking for their respect and aiming to land something big to set the tone and to everyone’s surprise, the first one to land that detonator was Nery with a mean left hook that chin checked Inoue and dropped him for a quick standing 8 count that had the crowd in attendance shocked and breathless for about 5 until Inoue bounced back up and survived the round.
Now that being said, Nery did not capitalize on his one opportunity to take out the Champ and on missing that short window, “the Monster” was released from that point on. In the second round, Inoue reasserted himself and pressed the action to getting his “get back” and dropping Nery with a powerful counter left hand that evened the score with a standing 8 count of his own.
With the playing field now even, Inoue showed us why he is levels above his competition inside that squared circle as he proceeded to raise his punch output and accuracy in a tactical fashion boxing and avoiding Nery’s bullish attempts.
By round five Nery was getting desperate and reckless and paid dearly for it by getting dropped by a left hook for another standing 8 count with 35 seconds left in the round. By round six the inevitable was around the corner and Inoue wasted no time and turned into the “Monster” that he is and unloaded a barrage of unanswered punches that eventually dropped Nery to the point where the referee waived the bout off, proving once again just how powerful Inoue is inside that squared circle.
Another convincing win by the Undisputed IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Champion Naoya “The Monster” Inoue. I can’t see anybody beating this Dude at this Junior Featherweight Division.
Well done, Champ.

EASTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS
With the first round officially over, we can now set our attention on the second round of action where the No. 1 Seeded Boston Celtics took down the pesky Miami Heat in 5 games. Patiently waiting for their next target to be announced which now we know will be the No. 5 Seed Cleveland Cavaliers who needed a game 7 to dispatch of a very gamed Orlando Magic. The Celtics have proven all year long that they were playing levels above their competition. On paper, this should be an easy series for the Celtics but if Donavan Mitchell and the rest of the Cleveland squad can keep up their momentum and not let themselves be bullied by the Celtics, they could make something special happen here and silence the naysayers who have already counted them out.
The No. 2 Seeded New York Knicks are still in the game and balling hard without the services of key player Julius Randle due to injuries but were still able to fend off the Philadelphia 76ers in 6 games with the stellar play of Jalen Brunson who has been balling out of his mind to keep the Knicks in contention. With the No. 6 Seed Indiana Pacers also needing 6 games to dispatch of a wounded Milwaukee Bucks team, they have shown us they have absolutely no problem taking advantage of an injured squad to get to their destination of the NBA Finals. This Pacers’ squad is tough and resilient when push comes to shove so I expect a serious battle come game night where the Knicks will have to bring the “NEW YORK” style of play to stay alive and competitive in this series. Definitely an interesting matchup to pay attention to. Real Talk!
Tune in this Monday night May 6, 2024, for round two of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

On The Watch “It’s All About Canelo Alvarez vs Jaime Munguia”
Undisputed Super Middleweight Cinco de Mayo Showdown
Last night’s PBC/Golden Boy/Prime Video/DAZN Main Event between Undisputed IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Super Middleweight Champion “Kingpin” Canelo Alvarez (61-2-2, 39 Kos) and countryman, former World Champion Jaime Munguia (43-1, 34 Kos), undeniably lived up to the “HYPE” surrounding this great event. Real Talk!
The young Lion Munguia brought the “HEAT” to the Kingpin’s door and gave a very good accountability for himself inside that squared circle but found out first-hand what in entails to go toe-to-toe with a seasoned, savvy veteran the likes of Canelo.
There are levels to this Boxing sh*t and on the night Munguia learned that lesson on the biggest stage of his career to date.
Not to be outdone, Munguia fought a great one and stood his ground even after being dropped for a standing 8 count in the fourth round. He bounced back and proceeded with the original “game plan” by applying pressure with an aggressive offence.
These two warriors brought their Mexican fans to their feet at the Arena the way they banged on each other, exchanging leather after leather at close range giving us that action.
That being said, school was in session last night and the instructor was Canelo who methodically broke his opponent down round by round and made it look good. Canelo was active with his hands and precise with his punches which disrupted Munguia’s usual high-octane offense. As big and strong as Munguia was on the night it was the skill set that separated both warriors inside that squared circle.
After 12 rounds of entertaining action, the Judges at hand scored it 117-110, 116-111 and 115-112 unanimously for Canelo Alvarez.
The “Kingpin” reigns supreme once again on Cinco de Mayo and still Undisputed IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Super Middleweight Champion of the World.
Well done, Canelo, another great victory to be added on this very special night!

WBA Lightweight Showdown
Your Boy is back! This intriguing matchup has finally been announced. Undefeated WBA Lightweight Champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis (29-0, 27 Kos) will be looking to defend his crown against undefeated challenger Frank “the Ghost” Martin (18-0, 12 Kos) Saturday night June 15, 2024, on Amazon Prime Video PPV at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Peeps need to pay attention to this bout right here and not sleep on it. “Tank” is the man 100 Grand no bulls*t but your Boy Martin is no walk in the park. Dude looks the part and plays the part very well. Martin has all the attributes needed to give “Tank” hell inside that squared circle.
The tough talk has been flying back and forth from both warriors clearly showing some serious animosity that will definitely need to be addressed inside that squared circle come fight night.
Now Frank be talking that real greasy sh*t to “Tank” but we already know what “Tank” brings to the ring every time: that equalizer and the skill set that goes hand in hand with it. Your Boy “Tank” is proven and a “Beast” inside that squared circle. Real Talk!
That being said, I’m anticipating Frank to have his sh*t together on the night. It’s “Show Time” and this is his opportunity on the biggest stage to prove to the world that he belongs amongst the best and back them tough talk up. Real Talk!

These attention-grabbing matchups in the second round of action are definitely must-see TV. The No 1. Seed in the Western Conference the Oklahoma City Thunder had themselves a quick four-game sweep in the first round of action and are now looking at a possible stiffer challenge in the form of the No. 5 Seed Dallas Mavericks. The Thunder are looking the part game by game and raising their play when push comes to shove and with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander growing into a superstar, the Mavs might have just met their match.
The Defending Champs the No. 2 Seeded Denver Nuggets had themselves a warm up in the first round by dispatching the Lakers in 5 but are now looking at a second round of action with a much younger, healthier and improved No. 3 Seeded Minnesota Timberwolves squad fresh of a sweep of the Phoenix Suns. Them Boys with Anthony Edwards turning into a bonified superstar are looking like they could have the goods at derailing the Defending Champs.
These are two very intriguing series to keep an eye on so stay locked in and don’t miss the action!
