In all honesty, if you happen to haven’t seen him struggle – effectively, initially, why the heck not? – you can not start to totally recognize the efforts, the perspective, the sheer stage of self-belief Venezuelan warrior Carlos Canizales has.
Venezuelan Warrior’s Thrilling Profession
The 32-year-old WBC light-flyweight champion has given us a lot of thrillers, and he has additionally been compelled to struggle on the highway throughout his profession. Mexico, Japan, Malaysia, Argentina, Thailand.
For certain, this present highway warrior has earned each cent, or each bolivar, he has fought for. Subsequent up for the person from Caracas will probably be a return to Bangkok, this time to defend his belt in opposition to former long-reigning 105-pound champ Knockout CP Freshmart, AKA Thammanoon Niyomtrong. The 2 will duke it out on December 4, and followers who’ve seen each males go to struggle expect, effectively, a struggle.
Canizales, a fighter who has one heck of an pleasurable fashion and strategy, deserves credit score for agreeing to return to Bangkok to struggle, as he was royally ripped off the final time he boxed there. That was again in December of final yr, when Thai hero Panya Pradabsri was in some way gifted a majority determination win over Canizales, this after a 12-round slugfest that, regardless of being bossed by the visiting fighter (to the purpose that the Thai followers booed the choice in Pradabsri’s favour) in some way went the improper approach.
Defending The Belt Towards Freshmart
In an August 2025 rematch that was just about ordered by WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman, Canizales, 28-3-1(20) took Pradabsri out within the fifth spherical of an actual firefight. Now, as a substitute of a ‘homecoming’ of a primary defence of his second world title (Canizales having reigned as WBA (common) light-flyweight champ in 2018 to 2021), Canizales will danger his belt in opposition to Freshmart/Niyomtrong.
A terrific motion struggle could be anticipated, however together with this, we hope, will probably be truthful, aboveboard judging and officiating. Additionally, let’s hope Canizales is getting the form of good payday he’s so totally entitled to.
CP Freshmart, 28-1(11) and crushed solely by the excellent Oscar Collazo, is three years older than the person, and he did take a battering from Collazo. Since then, Freshmart has gained three, in opposition to so-so at finest opposition, and it could possibly be argued that, other than house benefit, most issues are on Canizales’ facet.
This struggle doesn’t determine to go the space, and the motion could possibly be X-rated. In reality, the native followers will probably be baying for blood.
Canizales by KO. If not, and if the judges’ playing cards are wanted, then, heck, just about something may occur right here.
