The boxing world experienced a rollercoaster Cinco de Mayo or Stinko de Mayo weekend featuring Teofimo Lopez's dominant performance, Devin Haney's confidence issues, Rolly Romero's massive upset, and Naoya Inoue proving his championship mettle despite getting knocked down.

• Turk's Times Square experiment looked visually impressive but failed by blocking thousands of fans outside with a red wall around the ring
• Lopez dominated Barboza Jr. with superior skills but faces questions about his ambitious move to challenge Boots Ennis at 147 pounds
• Haney defeated Ramirez but showed clear mental trauma from the Garcia fight with timid movement and visible reactions to being hit
• Rolly Romero upset Ryan Garcia with disciplined technique, pinning Garcia's lead hand and landing a perfectly timed counter
• Garcia appeared subdued compared to his pre-Haney fight persona, raising questions about his mental approach
• Canelo continued his one-shot power punching style in his victory over Scull before the announcement of his fight with Crawford
• Naoya Inoue got knocked down twice with the same punch but adjusted brilliantly to secure a knockout victory
• Shu Shu is being avoided by champions despite being the number one contender across multiple organizations
