On the Watch “It’s All About Floyd Schofield vs Tevin Farmer”

Lightweight Showdown

Last night, Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield (19-0, 13 Kos) set the town for the opening night of the MVP/DAZN Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Pay-Per-View main card, with a total annihilation of the former IBF Super featherweight World Champion Tevin Farmer (33-9-1, 8 Kos) at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

Farmer talked a good game on route to this bout and felt very confident that he could derail the kid from competing with him at this level. That being said, Schofield accepted the challenge and silenced all the naysayers when he caught Farmer dead cold and chin checked him early in the first round with a heavy right hand that dropped him to a standing 8 count. He then followed up with another right hand straight to the dome and dropped Farmer again to another standing 8 count. Farmer looked shaky on them legs this time around and prime for the taking as Schofield unleashed an unanswered three punch combination that quickly prompted the referee to stop the bout.  

Farmer has always been known to give his opponents problems whether he won or loss but, on this night, he badly underestimated his opponent and paid a hefty price that got him blitzed in one round by a young and hungry combatant looking to make a name for himself.

This was a statement bout heard around the entire lightweight Division.  Your Boy Floyd Schofield is the house and on the come up looking for all the smoke.

Who’s next?

On The Watch “It’s All About 2025 NBA FINALS CHAMPIONS”

2025 NBA Champions

With one of the best NBA Final games played to date, the Oklahoma City Thunder fought through the challenges ahead and continued to stay true to their character and their No. 1 Seed throughout the regular season and the Playoffs to close out the NBA Finals 4-3 with a dominant performance win over a very competitive Indiana Pacers team. OKC just entered history by collecting their first Championship since the franchise moved to Oklahoma City from Seattle in 2008 after Seattle won the 1979 Chip.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, completed a historic year by becoming the first Canadian-born to win the NBA Finals MVP, Western Conference Finals MVP, NBA Regular Season MVP, the 2025 Scoring Title and capping off the year with an NBA Championship.

I tip my “B” hat to the Indiana Pacers for running through the Playoffs defying the odds the way they did and for putting up a hell of a fight on Game 7 without their key player Tyrese Haliburton, who suffered a leg injury seven minutes into the first quarter and eventually had to be carried out. Them Dudes are straight warriors. Real Talk!

That being said, it was only fitting that OKC walk away with the win and the 2025 NBA Finals Championship. They were the chosen ones from the jump this year and had to conquer the regular season and a tough and impressive Playoff run to complete the mission at hand. This young group of kids had a rare unity that grew with time captivating the league in a positive way and making their future together as a tight squad that much more intriguing to watch and follow.

Congratulations to the Oklahoma City Thunder for completing a very dominant season from start to finish. These youngins earned this one Hands Down!

On The Watch “It’s All About Galal Yafai vs Francisco Rodriguez Jr.”

WBC Interim World Flyweight Challenge

Tonight’s Matchroom/DAZN Main Event between WBC Interim World Champion Galal Yafi (9-1, 7 Kos) and challenger former unified WBO/IBF Minimumweight World Champion Francisco “Chichuas” Rodriguez Jr. (40-6-1, 27 Kos), surpassed all expectations when they touched gloves for a throwdown at the BP Pulse LIVE Arena, in Birmingham, England.

I don’t think Galal prepared appropriately for what transpired but Francisco seized his opportunity and brought the “HEAT” from round one and on and never looked back. Real Talk!

Francisco let his gloves go from head to body with exceptional clip and power behind every shot that had Galal on unsteady legs and confused from the jump. Normally, Galal has always been the aggressor and able to dictate the fight but this time around he was the prey trying to keep up with the heavy onslaught coming his way.

Galal was outgunned, outhustled and outmuscled from every corner. Galal attempted to stand his ground and go toe-to-toe but truth be told that was the wrong “game plan” to have considering that Francisco’s experience and durability was on a different level on the night.

Both combatants threw heavy leather at each other but the one administering the most visible damage round by round was Francisco with the way he boxed and moved with aggression clearly troubling Galai.

That being said, Galal had absolutely nothing to deter Francisco from having his way with him inside that squared circle. It was a one-sided beatdown that could have been halted but instead continued to go 12 full rounds with Galal eventually getting dropped to a standing 8 count in the final round. The Judges at hand had absolutely no issues scoring this bout 119-108, 119-108 and 118-109 unanimously for Francisco “Chichuas” Rodriguez Jr.

With this convincing victory now under his belt, Francisco is now the new WBC Interim World Champion.

Well done, Champ.

On The Watch “It’s All About Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford”

Undisputed Super Middleweight Showdown

The first of three press conferences to kick off one of boxing’s most intriguing super fights has officially taken off last Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the announcement of the “Kingpin” Canelo Alvarez (63-2-2, 30 Kos) defending his Undisputed Super Middleweight IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Championship Crown against former two Division Undisputed Champion and four Division Champion Terence “Bud” Crawford (41-0, 31 Kos) on September 13, 2025, at the Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Live on Netflix.

No one ever anticipated this matchup ever coming to fruition but with the boxing community talking and Terence starting to believe the “HYPE”, it took his Excellency Turki Alalshikh to bring it to reality.

Terence, fresh off winning another title, the WBA Super at the Junior Middleweight Division, will be moving up another two Divisions in pursuit of another challenge and the opportunity to dethrone the “Kingpin” Canelo Alvarez and release him of his Undisputed status, becoming the new Undisputed Super Middleweight IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Champion of the World.

This is a tough task for “Bud” but truth be told, this man does not lack confidence and clearly believes that he is the one to get it done. Skill for skill them two warrior’s match up very well on paper but with Canelo being the true Super Middleweight who has been dominating the Division for quite some time as a Champion, it is very unlikely that he will lay down quietly without a tough fight.

Both Champions have a mutual respect (for now) for one another but on fight night, all will be out the window when these two combatants bump gloves inside that squared circle come Saturday night, September 13, 2025, at the Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Live on Netflix.

Tune in and witness the unthinkable unfold. Who will be the last man standing?

On The Watch “It’s All About Brian Norman Jr. vs Jin Sasaki”

WBO Welterweight Showdown

Thursday morning’s Top Rank/ESPN + Main Even between WBO Welterweight Champion Brian Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 Kos) and challenger (19-2, 17 Kos) was a statement bout heard all around the world when Norman Jr. laced up his gloves and performed to the best of his abilities at the Ota-City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan.

Although Sasaki was a good, strong and tough competitor, on this night (or morning for us) Sasaki was clearly outmatch. Norman Jr. proved from the first round on who was the dominant combatant between the two when he easily dropped Sasaki within the first 30 seconds of round one and again a minute later proving his power was legit and nothing to play with inside that squared circle.

Sasaki proceeded to withstand the one-sided onslaught for a few more rounds and attempted to stand his ground but it was clear by the way he was being bounced around from left to right around the ring that this bout wasn’t going to last the distance.

Norman Jr. was simply too big, too strong and levels above Sasaki, who had absolutely nothing to deter Norman Jr. from having his way with him inside that squared circle. The inevitable was basically unavoidable and by the fifth round Norman Jr. landed a viscous left hook to the dome heard around the World that dropped Sasaki straight down. No count was needed due to the severity of the knockout but a stretcher was a must to transport him out for safety.

Norman Jr. announced himself to the World on foreign soil with this devastating and possible knockout of the year. The welterweight Division has a serious Champion to content with Brian Norman Jr. holding that WBO Belt. Goodluck to the competition attempting to dethrone this kid.

Well Done, Champ.

On The Watch “It’s All About Richardson Hitchins vs George Kambosos Jr.”

IBF Junior Welterweight Challenge

Last night’s Matchroom/DAZN Main Event between IBF Junior Welterweight Champion Richardson Hitchins (20-0, 8 Kos) and George Kambosos Jr (22-4, 10 Kos) was nothing less than a dominant performance by the champion at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The self-proclaimed “Emperor” Kambosos is a man without a Kingdom after this one-sided beatdown handed to him by Hitchins. Kambosos once again talked a good game all the way up to the fight but failed miserably at implementing any type of a “game plan” when he was stunted from the jump by Hitchins, who showed to be levels above Kambosos as the rounds progressed.

Hitchins showed Kambosos absolutely no respect as he continued to walk Kambosos down round by round with a very accurate stiff jab that laid the groundwork for the night. Other than his toughness, Kambosos had nothing to offer or deter Hitchins from having his way with him inside that squared circle.

Kambosos laboured his way through the rounds looking defeated as he was taking a beating from head to body. The inevitable was near as Kambosos was breaking down in rapid form and by the 8th round Hitchins landed a vicious left hook to the body of Kambosos that folded him up and dropped him for the count prompting the referee to stop the bout.  

It was a very impressive performance by Hitchins who looked focussed and sharp all night. Well done, Champ. Now onto the next.

On The Watch “It’s All About Caleb Plant vs Jose Armando Resendiz”

Interim WBA Super Middleweight Challenge

Last night’s PBC/Amazon Prime Main Event between Interim WBA Super Middleweight Champion Caleb Plant (23-3, 14 kos) and challenger Jose Armando Resendiz (16-2, 11 Kos) at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, tuned out to be another cherry pick gone wrong.

This bout was meant to be a stay busy fight with no real threat ahead for Plant but what occurred was quite surprising when the underdog Resendiz came in with the right “game plan” and asserted himself quite well and stunned the opposition.

I don’t think Plant anticipated this type of battle from the younger warrior but what he ran into was a hungry and determined combatant who brought that “HEAT” to every minute of every round. Plant showed Resendiz no respect and paid the price for it as he was in a real war of attrition last night.

Plant showed some resistance in the early rounds but seemed to lose steam and confidence as Resendiz was starting to build momentum with his offensive work rate round by round. Plant was physically the bigger combatant but the bigger puncher would have to go to Resendiz who was visibly landing the more thumping and telling punches.

After 12 hard rounds of action one Judge scored it 115-113 for Plant (suspect), while the other two Judges scored it 116-112 for Resendiz, giving him the split decision victory.

No one but Resendiz and his team anticipated this type of outcome, and for that I tip my “B” hat to him for silencing naysayers who counted them out and seizing the opportunity bestowed on him to now becoming the new Interim WBA Super Middleweight Champion of the World.

Congratulations Jose Armando Resendiz. Well done!

The NBA Finals 2025

With the completion of the NBA’s version of the Final 4 now officially over, the two remaining teams representing their respective coasts are the No. 1 Seeded Oklahoma City Thunder for the WESTSIDE and the No. 4 Seeded Indiana Pacers for the EASTSIDE. Real Talk!

Oklahoma City stayed true to their character and their No. 1 Seed by being focussed and dominant throughout the entire season and their Playoff run from start to finish and to now gracing the NBA Finals.

Unlike Indiana, with their work-like approach with efficient results, they were counted out against the Bucks, the Cavs and the Knicks but still managed to upset the oddsmakers in a very convincing fashion worthy of securing their well-earned spot into the NBA Finals.

Indiana is coming in as the returning Eastern Conference finalist after falling short last year but this time around they will probably have their toughest test ahead in the best team in the NBA the Oklahoma City Thunder with the regular season MVP Shai Gilgeous Alexander to contend with in order to get to the promised land.

Oklahoma City’s numbers speak for themselves. They have been the most dominant team night in and night out. That being said, this red-hot Indiana Pacers team will be looking to continue to upset the oddsmakers one final time and derail the likely favourite, Oklahoma City Thunder.

Both squads have some serious momentum pushing them forward to succeed but which squad will have the right “game plan” to capitalized on it in to their advantage.

Squad vs Squad, this is a very interesting matchup where the stakes are high but there can only be one Champion crowned when it’s all said and done so tune in this Thursday night June 5, 2025, live on ABC for Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

2025 NBA Eastern Conference Finals

In a surprising turn of events, The No. 1 Seeded Cleveland Cavaliers and the No. 2 Seeded Boston Celtics have both been bounced out by the Indiana Pacers who systematically broke down the Cavs in 5 games. The New York Knicks did the same to the Defending Champions Celtics but needed 6 games to earn their long awaited spot into the Eastern Conference Finals.

Not too many people in the game predicted this type of Eastern Conference Finals where the No. 3 Seeded Knicks and the No. 4 Seeded Pacers would be the two remaining teams to do battle to reach this year 2025 NBA Finals. Real Talk!

That said, these two squads have an ongoing personal rivalry, considering they met last year in the Eastern Conference Semifinals where the Knicks got sprung by the Pacers in a very competitive game 7 that had been haunting them till this day.

The Knicks will be eyeing the Pacers for some redemption this time around. With both squads looking healthy, strong, motivated and riding high from two very convincing series each. These Knicks/Pacers are guaranteeing a very intriguing matchup that will surely captivate the fans to tune in this Wednesday May 21, 2025, for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals and witness an entertaining night of action.
