Been great to catch up with everyone putting in work inside of the Top Rank Gym out in Las Vegas.
The gym used to be operational only for specific occasions, but in recent years it’s become one of the busiest facilities in the city when it comes to world class fighters.
Rising young Cuban star Yoenis Tellez will square off against top contender and former champion Brian Mendoza in a super welterweight showdown between former interim champions that serves as the new co-main event of a PBC Pay-Per-View event available on Prime Video on Saturday, March 28 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
This fight replaces the previously announced Frank Sanchez vs. Richard Torrez Jr. bout, which has been postponed.
On May 4, 2025, boxing fans will witness a compelling showdown as Japan’s undefeated sensation, Naoya “The Monster” Inoue, defends his undisputed super bantamweight crown against challenger Ramon Cardenas at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This bout marks Inoue’s return to the U.S. ring after nearly four years, his last appearance being a third-round knockout of Michael Dasmarinas in June 2021. If that fight were to project how this upcoming Cinco-de-Mayo weekend clash will go, boxing fans are definitely going to be in for a treat.
If my eyes don’t mistake me, I believe there was a cucuy sighting in Las Vegas recently.
After recently catching a glimpse of Clocked In TV’s YouTube Page, I can confirm they recently connected with prospect Jacob “Cucuy” Cuevas the other day.
There are a lot truths that we uncover in the sport of boxing.
Both in and out of the ring, fighters always have a way of revealing their true character. The Sweet Science is a sport littered with unique characters and stories, and it’s been a pleasure to be around all the excitement.

Delante “Tiger” Johnson scored one of the most impressive victories of his young career on March 29 at the Fountainbleau in Las Vegas by stopping Kendo Castaneda in the fifth round.
Johnson (15-0, 7 KO’s) was especially sharp in his welterweight debut, dropping Castaneda twice before referee Raul Caiz Jr. halted the action two minutes into round five.
Check the clip for a candid discussion with former title challenger “Iceman” John Scully, who shares his thoughts on the rematch between his fighter, Artur Beterbiev, and newly-crowned light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.
Dmitry Bivol became the undisputed light heavyweight world champion on Saturday, February 22, with a majority decision victory over Artur Beterbiev at ANB Arena in Riyadh.
Just four months after a narrow defeat to Beterbiev, Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs) avenged his only loss with a strategic and aggressive performance, particularly excelling in the mid-to-late rounds.
On Wednesday afternoon in Miami, FL, Teofimo Lopez, Robeisy Ramirez, and Nico Ali Walsh hosted a public workout ahead of their upcoming showdowns this Saturday, June 29, at the James L. Knight Center.
Lopez(20-1, 13 KOs) will defend his WBO junior welterweight world title against Canadian contender Steve Claggett (38-7-2, 26 KOs) in the main event.

This past Friday evening, Feb. 16, WBC junior lightweight champion O’Shaquie “Ice Water” Foster successfully defended his title with a split decision over Abraham “El Super” Nova.
The bout took place inside of The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, and was aired on ESPN.
The action was tactical early on, with both men having their moments. Foster (22-2, 12 KO’s) appeared to take control by rounds six and seven, landing powerful shots on Nova (23-2, 16 KO’s) as the rounds went by.
This past Friday night, inside of the Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York, undefeated junior lightweight contender Andres “Savage” Cortes scored another dominant stoppage victory.
Cortes (21-0, 12 KO’s) faced off with Puerto Rico’s Bryan Chevalier (21-2-1, 16 KO’s) as the co-feature to WBC junior lightweight champion O’Shaquie Foster’s victory over Abraham Nova on ESPN.
Cortes patiently stalked Chevalier throughout, and did early damage with his blows. Chevalier was rocked along the ropes in the third round, and his corner subsequently threw in the towel at 2:17 of the fourth round.
It was many years when we first crossed paths with Kevin “Thunderstorm” Johnson out in Las Vegas.
Then an aspiring amateur fighter with high hopes, Johnson was training out of the Mayweather Boxing Club and still only 18 years of age.
Johnson was both ambitious and fearless as a fighter, and picked up valuable experience learning from Roger Mayweather, Otis Pimpleton, and through sparring quality fighters at the gym.
Earlier tonight, from the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, NV, Garcia improved his professional record to 11-0 with nine knockouts following a first round destruction over Tomas Ornelas.

Former WBA welterweight champion Yordenis Ugas last saw action inside of the ring in April of last year, as he bravely battled unbeaten Errol Spence Jr. inside of AT&T Stadium, in Arlington, TX.
Ugas fought valiantly, but began taking damage at the midway point of the fight, and was ultimately stopped in the 10th round. Spence holds the IBF, WBA, and WBC titles and will be facing off with WBO champion Terence Crawford later this month.
