Ugly Turkish step child?

What do you mean?

You're probably not familiar with Turkish laws and culture. Step children are banned in Turkey, generally the normal looking ones can be sold on and traded but the ugly ones are often beaten, hence the Turkish phrase "beaten like an ugly Turkish step child".

That’s one of the most ridiculous things i have ever heard. I am a Turk. We have no ban such as, nor the uglier one gets beaten. And there is no such phrase we use.

Canelo Aims To Avoid Long-Term Promotional Deals, Wants 1-2 Fight Pacts

Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez is not ruling out the possibility of extending his working relationship with promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom.

Canelo worked with Hearn for last December's fight with Callum Smith in Texas.

After dominating Smith to capture the WBC, WBA super middleweight titles, Canelo would agree to a two-fight deal with Hearn's company.

The first bout of that agreement takes place on Saturday night in Miami, when Canelo faces mandatory challenger Avni Yidlirim at Hard Rock Stadium.

Should Canelo win, the second bout of the agreement would land on May 8, in a likely unification bout against WBO super middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders.

In the past, Hearn matched his boxers, like Daniel Jacobs and Rocky Fielding, against Canelo.

"I am used to being on the wrong side of the team, because I had to bring my boxers to fight against him and if I have learned something it is that I should not bet against any of Eddy Reynoso's fighters. That is why I am glad that this time Yildirim is not my fighter, because it means that I will be able to celebrate Canelo's victory without remorse," Hearn told Erika Montoya.

“It is very positive that Canelo visits different places, because taking the face of boxing to such emblematic places as the Dolphin Stadium is something very exciting and they can expect great fireworks, because Yildirim will not go in there to survive, he is going to fight, because he knows that it may be the last opportunity [that he has on this level]."

For his part, Canelo likes the current scenario of working with promoters on a limited basis.

Last year, he parted ways with his longtime promoter, Golden Boy Promotions.

“I would love to continue working in this way, to discuss one or two fights [at a time]. I really like working with [Hearn] because he is someone who cares about details. The maturity and experience I have is what helps me carry out my career as best as possible ... And if you ask me about retirement, if I can, I can spend many more years in boxing, but if I wanted to, I think I would fight until the age of 37 or so... and God willing I would then retire to enjoy what I have achieved," Canelo said.

Selling and trading?!!



Which century are you living in?!
Who did fool you, otherwise? That's a pretty good fooling by the way.

Sounds pretty ignorant and racist whatsoever..

Alvarez looked like a fkin Hulk at weigh in.

Oh come on, it’s clearly a joke. We’ve all seen Borat...it’s that type of humour. I meant no offence...apologies.

LOL. Yeah, there is no such a thing like that, margarat and lazboy should tell us where did that came from.

[Gimp Mask]

Yildirim is a come forward fighter with shoddy defense, and he's been inactive for 2 years. Eubank tore him up in 3 rounds. Canelo probably takes him out within 4.

Canelo vs Yildirim: McWilliams Arroyo vs Abraham Rodriguez interim WBC title fight official

Rodriguez is taking the fight on basically a day’s notice



The tentative co-main for Canelo Alvarez vs. Avni YIldirim tonight is no longer tentative. Abraham “Choko” Rodriguez successfully arrived in Miami and made the flyweight limit last night, clearing him to fight McWilliams Arroyo for the interim WBC flyweight title after Julio Cesar Martinez’s withdrawal.

Rodriguez (27-2, 13 KOs), a 26-year-old fighting out of Tijuana, generally spends his time at either minimumweight or light flyweight; he’s ranked 4th at 108 by the IBF, which would theoretically put him in position for a final eliminator to face Felix Alvarado since the top two spots are empty, and he sits at #15 and #3 in the WBC’s and WBO’s 105-pound rankings, respectively.

He’s challenged for a world title once before, succumbing to the power of Angel Acosta in just four minutes back in 2018.

While obviously a less appealing opponent than Martinez, he’s about the best you could expect on two days’ notice, and it gets Arroyo (20-4, 15 KOs) back in the ring for the first time in 14 months. I’ll take it.

Even though it was a premature stoppage, still a nice win for amateur star Keyshawn Davis. Personable and good boxing skills & looks like a future pro star. Despite winning at the Olympic Trials it looks he'll be passing up the Tokyo Games since he
says he plans on 8 more pro fights this year.

[squiggy]

Why did Martinez withdraw?

[margaret thatcher]

he said hand injury

he never qualified for the olympics and was removed from the qualifiying team, so he 100 percent wont be in the tokyo olympics

Feel free to provide a link/article/document supporting your contention stated above. Here's evidence supporting the fact that Keyshawn Davis did finish first at the US Olympic Trials at 63kg (138 pounds).
https://www.teamusa.org/usa-boxing/athl ... hawn-Davis

Here's the actual results of the Olympic Trials where Keyshawn finished 1st at 138. His semifinal victory is on page 25 & his final victory is on page 28. Keshawn's brother Kelvin lost at 152 pounds in his semifinal on page 26, maybe you are confusing him with his brother Kelvin.

[margaret thatcher]

just look it up

i never denied he won the AMERICAN OLYMPIC TRIALS. but winning national olympic trials doesnt mean you made the olympics, it just means you made the team of guys which get the chance to qualify. you still have to qualify through international competitions

he never actually qualified for the olympics and then he got removed from the team of guys attempting to, i think for signing a pro deal. got replaced by charly something

so he 100 percent wont compete in the tokyo games, your hunch is correct

[DrDuke]

An expected mismatch took place. Yildirim was a punching bag for Canelo.

It was funny to hear about the patience of Yildirim from the commentators. Biased dorks, as always. Yildirim was outmatched in terms of speed from the start and he felt Canelo's power.

Canelo's one-two looked classic. The jab blinded Yildirim and opened his shell up, the right hand did the job.

Hopefully, there will be no more such mandatories and Canelo goes for the unification next against Saunders or Plant, who both also had damn mismatches in their last bouts.

[Cent0089]

Mandatory beating for a mandatory challenger.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Most of us didn’t mind it anyway.. as long as he still fights twice more this year. Who cares..

[apollo creed]

Poor Yldirim. He was cannon fodder for Canelo. I hope the turk is ok and that he did get a nice payday. In an ideal world it should've been Benavidez as the mandatory challenger for Canelo!

I hope he did not got a nice payday. It would be dangerous precedent for another bums easy climb to mandatory positions.

[DrDuke]

Yildirim shouldn't get paid for this bout at all. It seems, he was rich enough to buy a mandatory status from the corrupt sanctioning bodies, so he doesn't deserve anything more.
