On paper this is a fairly good fight as Felix Sturm has only just returned to the sport and is 42 while James Craft is 24 and undefeated however I still think theirs a huge skill gap between the two. Felix Sturm might be past his prime but hes still good enough to beat a fighter like Kraft who has barely been scraping past a lot of his competition and arguably should have lost a fight or two.
James Kraft
I think Felix Sturm will win a decision after ten rounds due to the gulf in class between the two in both technical skill and experience.
I don’t think this is a good fight but it’s serviceable as a tune up fight for Feigenbutz before he potentially goes on to fight Felix Sturm. Nuhu Lawal hasn’t won a significant fight since 2016 and has been brought in as an opponent for a while now. He’s tough but limited and at the age of 39 is coming towards the end of his career. Vincent Feigenbutz is also tough but limited however holds the advantages of youth and power over Lawal.
Nuhu Lawal
I expect Vincent Feigenbutz to win a decision after ten rounds due to being younger and having more power. He’s quite aggressive so I expect him to come forward which judges will like.
This should be a fairly fun fight as both are action fighters who care little for defence. Gonzalez has come out of nowhere in the last year and scored three good wins in a short amount of time. If he wins this fight then he could be in the running to fight some of the bigger names at lightweight. For Francisco Vargas this is probably his last chance to get to a world title fight as he’s 36. Vargas was a good fighter in his prime but in my opinion has regressed a lot in recent years and if he loses this fight should think about retiring after a good career.
Francisco Vargas
I think Isaac Cruz Gonzalez will be too quick for Vargas who has definitely regressed in recent years. I imagine it’ll be a war for how long it lasts but Gonzalez’s punches will get to the target first and Vargas will be broken down within five or six rounds with his corner throwing in the towel.
This is a good fight between two fighters coming off losses at the highest level in the Super Bantamweight division. Angelo Leo is a come forward fighter who applies a lot of pressure and throws huge amounts of punches to overwhelm his opponents. Aaron Alameda is a southpaw who boxes mostly off the back foot and will look to box and move rather than fight.
Aaron Alameda
While I think Alameda’s style is a good one to beat Leo I don’t think hes good enough to do it as he is too easy to hit. I can see a lot of close rounds but with Leo coming forward and being aggressive I expect the judges to favour him and give him the decision. Alameda also came in over the weight limit so i’m not sure how hard he’s trained for this fight.
This is a slight step up in competition for Kalkreuth who is one of the most promising prospects in the Cruiserweight division. He’s only 19 but is already 8-0 with six knockouts. Demetrius Banks is 10-10-1 but is durable and normally gives prospects some good rounds but loses a decision or occasionally by late stoppage.
Demetrius Banks
I think Tristan Kalkreuth will likely win this fight by knockout due to being a lot bigger than Banks and also having a massive youth advantage. Banks is tough but in my opinion is starting to regress a bit at the age of 40. Kalkreuth also has more power and should be able to land cleanly on Banks without to many problems.
This is a good fight as the first ended with Tommy Frank having to retire in the corner due to a injured shoulder which he sustained early in the fight.
Tommy Frank has some decent technical skills but thinks hes a lot better defensively than he actually is. He tries to slip and counter a lot of punches but ends up getting hit half the time in my opinion.
Rosendo Hugo Guarneros comes forward and throws a lot of punches without too much set up. He doesn’t have a great defence himself and isn’t as good technically but does possess more power in my opinion.
Rosendo Hugo Guarneros
I think Tommy Frank will end up getting his revenge and win a twelve round decision due to being slightly better technically and his ability to slip punches and return fire which will be useful considering how many punches Guarneros throws.
This fight isn’t very good at all in terms of competitiveness but could be a fun fight for two or three rounds before Charlo fully takes over. Jermall Charlo is a lot better technically and should dominate this fight with his jab. Montiel has power but doesn’t offer much more so I don’t expect this fight to be all that competitive.
Juan Macias Montiel
Jermall Charlo will win by knockout within five rounds due to being better technically and having a good jab. He’s also competed at a higher level and has more experience.
Jaime Munguia who is 36-0 with 29 knockouts is fighting former title challenger Kamil Szeremeta in his third fight at middleweight. The former WBO super welterweight world champion is progressing towards a world title fight at middleweight.
Jaime Munguia is normally an aggressive fighter who throws a lot of punches but can fight on the back foot if needed. He throws a lot of uppercuts when fighting on the back foot. His defence isn’t the best but it’s better than people make out.
Kamil Szeremeta doesn’t have much power and also has little defence. He’s got some basic skills but mostly throws one or two punches at a time which are readable for most good fighters. When he fought GGG he struggled to avoid his jab and was stopped in seven rounds. He showed a lot of heart in that fight but wasn’t very competitive.
Kamil Szeremeta
I think Jaime Munguia will win this fight by knockout within eight rounds due to being better offensively and having a lot more power. He’s also shown a good chin while Szeremeta was knocked down multiple times when he stepped up. I expect Munguia will fight someone a lot better next time as he was supposed to fight Maciej Sulecki before Sulecki pulled out of the fight twice.
This is a surprisingly decent fight as Huni is still a novice pro and Gallen got a big win over Lucas Browne in his last fight which proved hes above the novelty act that most of his career has been. Both are undefeated and have high profiles in Australia which means a win for either man crowns them the heavyweight king down under.
Justis Huni moves very well for his size and also has fast hands for a heavyweight. He’s technically very good and had an excellent amateur background before turning pro. He still aims to go to the Tokyo Olympics and of course bring back the coveted gold medal to Australia which would see him become a sporting icon.
Paul Gallen used to be a Rugby player but converted over to boxing after retiring. He’s faced mostly debutants or other experienced fighters on PPV due to him being a big name in Australia and it’s only recently hes started to really step up his competition and progress in boxing.
Paul Gallen
I do think the gap in technical skill between the two fighters will lead to Huni winning a decision after ten rounds. I think his hand speed and movement will also cause Gallen a lot of problems.
This is a good step up fight for Xander Zayas who is one of the best prospects in the sport. Zayas is a technically sound explosive puncher who has stopped the majority of his opponents early on. Larry Fryers isn’t that great technically but will come forward and make it a rough fight.
I expect Xander Zayas to knock Larry Fryers out early because Fryer’s will be open defensively and so Zayas won’t struggle to get his power punches off. Zayas is a big enough puncher to end this fairly early especially against someone coming to fight him.
