Frank Warren and BT Sport deserve a lot of a credit for staging the first boxing show in the UK since lock down began. It seemed like a lot of precautions were taken and the night of boxing went smoothly though with them only being allowed five fights there was a significant break between eachContinue reading “Brad Foster, Hamzah Sheeraz and Mark Chamberlain impress on Britain’s return to boxing.”

What’s next for Carlos Takam, Jerry Forrest plus card
The first fight of the night was between Peter Cortez and Corey Champion. This fight had four knockdowns and a double knockdown which was great. Neither have a high ceiling but they can be in some fun fights on undercards. Donte Stubbs came back for his second fight in two weeks and this time cameContinue reading “What’s next for Carlos Takam, Jerry Forrest plus card”
Carlos Castro versus Cesar Juarez breakdown
This is a good opponent for Carlos Castro before he goes for a title shot in 2021. Cesar Juarez has fought a lot of good fighters and while he’s mostly come up short and may be on the decline this should still be a good fight. Carlos Castro has a good consistent jab that heContinue reading “Carlos Castro versus Cesar Juarez breakdown”
Carlos Takam versus Jerry Forrest
This is essentially a crossroad’s fight at it’s finest. If Takam loses then he’ll never get near a world title again and is unlikely to get big fights afterwards while if Forrest loses then he just becomes a gatekeeper for American heavyweights. Carlos Takam is an experienced veteran who has faced many of the divisionsContinue reading “Carlos Takam versus Jerry Forrest”

What’s next for Jose Zepeda, Kendo Castaneda plus card
I thought this was an okay card but the main event left a lot to be desired and the co-main left a bad taste in my mouth. Gabriel Muratalla looked good in beating Sergio Lopez and should continue fighting at this level but be moved up to 6 rounds. Lopez is a journeyman at thisContinue reading “What’s next for Jose Zepeda, Kendo Castaneda plus card”
Clay Collard to return July 14th on ESPN.
Clay Collard has become a bit of a cult figure in boxing due to him beating unbeaten prospect after unbeaten prospect.

He’ll be facing Lorawnt TContinue reading “Clay Collard to return July 14th on ESPN.”
Billy Joe Saunders versus Callum Smith is the fight to make.
Now that both Saunders and Callum Smith won’t be getting the Canelo fight next the obvious fight to make is one between them. It would be a Super Middleweight unification between two Brits and could easily headline the 02 Arena and be put on PPV. It’s a very competitive fight and can certainly be seenContinue reading “Billy Joe Saunders versus Callum Smith is the fight to make.”

Jose Zepeda is close to a title shot after beating Jose Pedraza last year. He was supposed to fight Ivan Baranchyk but Ivan pulled out of the fight due to a rib injury. Kendo Castaneda has come in on short notice after suffering his first defeat early this year. Jose Zepeda is a southpaw whoContinue reading “Jose Zepeda versus Kendo Castanedo”
