Boxing results, highlights, takeaways: Deontay Wilder returns to form, Devin Haney ready to move on


Saturday was an important day for the game of boxing, with a few significant occasions including a portion of the game's best contenders. Two undisputed titles were on the line as well as previous heavyweight champion Deontay More stunning getting back to activity interestingly since losing consecutive battles to Tyson Anger.


The day started off with Claressa Safeguards scoring a success over old opponent Savannah Marshall in London to become the undisputed ladies' middleweight champion. In Melbourne, Australia, Devin Haney outpaced George Kambosos to procure a choice success and hold his status as undisputed lightweight boss. Then everything enveloped Brooklyn with some savage viciousness as More stunning required short of what one round to score a merciless knockout of Robert Helenius for his most memorable success since November 2019.


We should investigate the greatest focus points from every one of the greatest battles of the day.


More out of control is as yet a terrible, awful man

The "Bronze Plane" returned on Saturday night to help everybody to remember what his damaged right hand can do. More stunning completed rough veteran and previous preparation accomplice Robert Helenius in under a round while landing only three punches all out. More stunning called for potential matchups with either brought together heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk or previously brought together champion Andy Ruiz Jr. to be straight away. Despite his two misfortunes in three gatherings with Tyson Wrath, More stunning is still ostensibly the most hazardous puncher the heavyweight division has at any point seen and could make a gathering with either rival fascinating, regardless of whether only for the chance of that one punch landing clean.


Haney - - and the lightweight division - - can, at last, continue on

In June, Haney made plainly he was a preferred warrior over Kambosos, winning an unmistakable choice to become the undisputed boss. In any case, the canny business move by Kambosos and his group to incorporate a compulsory rematch statement - - and for it to likewise occur in Australia a subsequent time - - implied Haney couldn't continue on toward the sort of battles everybody needed to see, specific standoffs with any semblance of Vasiliy Lomachenko, Gervonta "Tank" Davis and Ryan Garcia.


Haney was considerably more predominant in the rematch, using a shark straight right hand to player Kambosos all through the battle. There was little uncertainty that Haney would win the rematch, yet it was significant for him to look great getting it done. He did precisely that and afterward clarified that any huge name could come to him if they needed a shot at the belts.


Haney has long needed the Lomachenko battle and it appears to be the least demanding to make in a fascinating lightweight division. On the off chance that Davis and Garcia can find their direction to an arrangement, then lightweight will truly be in an extraordinary spot to turn into the division many expected before Kambosos upset Teofimo Lopez in late 2021.


Safeguards get the success she wanted

While there has never been any genuine discussion over Claressa Safeguards' spot in the game, a portion of her potential star power has been kept down by an absence of convincing rivals. Safeguards have not had a similar degree of fascinating adversaries as Katie Taylor, the main lady who may really be in the discussion with Safeguards as the best female fighter in the game.


In Savannah Marshall, Safeguards, at last, had a rival deserving of her dazzling abilities. With the implicit story of Marshall as the solitary lady to have at any point crushed Safeguards in a boxing ring - - a beginner win in 2012 - - every one of the pieces was set up for the greatest battle of Safeguards' vocation. The best part is that once the ringer rang, Safeguards and Marshall got it done, going punch for punch in an engaging conflict. The right rival and a tomfoolery battle simply helped Safeguards push ahead. It was an ideal night for Safeguards, seeking retribution and lastly having the sort of exemplary battle that spots the resumes of the multitude of the game's most prominent warriors.


Ideally, Safeguards can figure out how to convey this force forward and keep on drawing consideration of her abilities and merit.
