If you don't know much about Brian Castano, he beat @ErrolSpenceJr convincingly in an international tournament in 2011, went 181-10 as an amateur & his biggest pro win was a 12-round split decision over Michel Soro in Soro's native France. He'll press Lara. Should be interesting.

When Jake Paul was asked during his press conference if he would fight David Benavidez because no one wants to fight Benavidez, Paul quipped, “He’s gonna have to keep looking.” Paul admitted he’s nowhere near ready for that type of opponent.

Now that Canelo-Derevyanchenko talks have broken down & Canelo will be stripped of the IBF middleweight title, a deal has been reached for Gennadiy Golovkin to fight Derevyanchenko for the IBF title. Fight could happen as soon as October 5th, but maybe moved to November.

Raise your hand if you thought this time last week we'd see Fury-Wilder 3 & Pacquiao-Spence 4 weeks apart this summer in Vegas? #Boxing

Leo Santa Cruz told us earlier that not only did his father not understand what Gary Russell Jr. was saying in that viral video last Saturday night, he didn't even know who he was. He thought it was Rico Ramos. 🤣🤣🤣

Canelo just said in the press conference that he feels Bivol only won 4 or 5 rounds & that he definitely won the fight. #CaneloBivol

Triple-G has a new trainer, a new network/streaming service & a new way to spell his first name. Golovkin says it's spelled Gennadiy on his birth certificate. No word on why it took nearly 7 years of fighting in the U.S. to make this correction. #GolovkinRolls

Canelo obviously can fight whomever he wants December 15th. But it's absurd 2 call this a title fight. Rocky Fielding has a WBA "world" super middleweight title that shouldn't exist. The real WBA 168-pound champion, Callum Smith, knocked him out in the 1st round. #CaneloFielding

A 47-year-old woman with a 5-25-1 record just weighed in for a fight on the Gervonta Davis-Hector Luis Garcia undercard Saturday night. Apparently, anything goes in DC.

Kyrone Davis on Breadman stopping the fight: “Hey listen, this is my guy. From day one, it’s my guy. I’m upset, but not at him. If he wanted to stop the fight, wanted to protect me, I understand. This is like my second father, pretty much my father. I love him.” #BenavidezDavis

Andy Ruiz Jr. just came in at a whopping 283 pounds for his rematch against Anthony Joshua. That's 15 pounds more than he was for their first fight 6 months ago. Joshua officially weighed 237 pounds, 10-plus pounds less than he was for their fight in June. #JoshuaRuiz2

The DAZN & Showtime main events won't conflict tonight. Teofimo Lopez-George Kambosos Jr., the main event of DAZN's stream (8 ET), figures to be long over before Showtime's headliner, Brandon Figueroa-Stephen Fulton, begins. Showtime's tripleheader doesn't start until 10 ET.

The same state that suspended Keyshawn Davis for marijuana use late last year is going to regulate a Mike Tyson fight? Interesting.

Maiva Hamadouche deserved a whole lot better than this disgraceful scoring tonight. Just ridiculous. Why even fight the fight if that's what we're going to get on the scorecards?

I'm not saying Sergii Bohachuk won 8 rounds. What I am saying is that Vergil Ortiz Jr. - as entertaining, gritty and resilient as he was - didn't win 8 rounds. Regardless, Bohachuk deserves a rematch. I obviously don't expect him to get one, certainly not immediately, but ...

When Macaulay Culkin called Staples Center to inquire about comps to the Wilder-Fury fight, he was told they were all out. Culkin then bought 4 ringside seats at $2,000 apiece. That's 8 grand. Man, he really must not have wanted to watch the fight home alone (sorry). #WilderFury
