This is a great unification fight between two of the best welterweights in the world. Errol Spence is a fighter who can both draw big crowds and really fight which is a rarity in boxing.

Leigh Wood versus Michael Conlan breakdown
This is an evenly matched fight between two featherweights who are effectively competing for who is the third or 4th best featherweight in the world.

Roman Gonzalez versus Julio Cesar Martinez breakdown
I’m looking forward to this fight a lot as I can’t see it being anything other than exciting. Roman Gonzalez has been at the top of the sport for more than a decade now and this win would further cement his already tremendous resume.

Robeisy Ramirez versus Eric Donovan breakdown
This is a decent fight between two time gold medalist Ramirez and fringe European level Donovan. The latter’s career has been fairly unremarkable apart from his excellent performance versus Zelfa Barrett where up until he got caught he was out-boxing him with ease. It’s a shame we haven’t seen him back in a big fightContinue reading “Robeisy Ramirez versus Eric Donovan breakdown”

Jack Catterall is a respectable fighter but won’t offer anything that Taylor hasn’t seen before. He’s beenContinue reading “Josh Taylor versus Jack Catterall breakdown”
Frazer Clarke versus Jake Darnell is an embarrassment to the sport
Frazer Clarke, a well accomplished amateur who won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics, is making his professional debut. This doesn’t sound like anything out of the ordinary until you look into who Clarke is fighting and then wonder how this bout got sanctioned. Jake Darnell has never boxed in a professional ring and his onlyContinue reading “Frazer Clarke versus Jake Darnell is an embarrassment to the sport”

Carlos Cuadras versus Jesse Rodriguez Franco breakdown
This is a great fight between a tested veteran and a prospect who is seen as the next big thing at the lower weights.
