Boxing Weekend Frenzy: Haney, Garcia, Lopez, Canelo, and Inoue Set for Epic 72-Hour Showdown
Boxing fans are in for a treat with a 72-hour fight extravaganza from May 2-4, featuring Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, Teofimo Lopez, Canelo Alvarez, and Naoya Inoue. On Friday, Times Square hosts a DAZN PPV card with Garcia facing Rolando Romero, Haney battling Jose Ramirez, Lopez defending his WBO junior welterweight title against Arnold Barboza Jr., and Reito Tsutsumi’s pro debut. Each fight is headline-worthy, with Garcia and Haney eyeing a future rematch. Saturday sees Canelo Alvarez in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, fighting William Scull to unify super middleweight titles on DAZN PPV, joined by Jaime Munguia and Martin Bakole. This marks Canelo’s first pro fight outside Mexico or the U.S., possibly a warm-up for a Terence Crawford clash. On Sunday, Naoya Inoue defends his undisputed super bantamweight titles against Ramon Cardenas in Las Vegas on ESPN+, with Rafael Espinoza vs. Edward Vazquez bolstering the card. Inoue’s rare U.S. appearance is a highlight. This weekend echoes the 1980s boxing peak, with elite fighters delivering dream matchups across three cities. The Times Square spectacle, Canelo’s Saudi debut, and Inoue’s stateside return have fans buzzing, though some on X feel it lacks Mayweather-era spark. Boxing’s current era is thriving, moving past old disputes to deliver must-see action. Fans should clear their schedules, stock up on coffee, and catch every moment, with replays worth a Monday binge. Who will shine brightest? Share your picks!
