This should be an interesting fight as it’s a good class of styles between two quality fighters in the light flyweight division. Soto looks to make another defence of his WBO world title while Gonzalez is trying to claim his first world title after falling short in his other attempt. Soto is a puncher whoContinue reading “Elwin Soto versus Jonathan Gonzalez breakdown”

Mikey Garcia versus Sandor Martin breakdown
This isn’t a great fight but it makes sense as Garcia has been out the ring for a long time and Martin is a fighter who needed a big opportunity. Garcia is one of the best fighters in the sport but has been inactive in recent years. He has a great blend of power andContinue reading “Mikey Garcia versus Sandor Martin breakdown”
Giovani Santillan versus Angel Ruiz breakdown
This is a great fight between two rising fighters in the welterweight division. Santillan is 27-0 but has only reached fringe world level in his last few fights. I thought he lost to Antonio DeMarco more than a year ago but has bounced back with an eight round win recently. Angel Ruiz rebounded back fromContinue reading “Giovani Santillan versus Angel Ruiz breakdown”
Emanuel Navarrete versus Joet Gonzalez breakdown
This is Navarrete’s second defence of his WBO featherweight world title after winning the title at the end of 2020. He made his first defence versus Christopher Diaz and won in an entertaining fight that ended in the 12th round when Navarrete stopped Diaz. Joet Gonzalez lost a wide decision to Shakur Stevenson in hisContinue reading “Emanuel Navarrete versus Joet Gonzalez breakdown”
Lester Martinez versus Raiko Santana breakdown
This should be a decent fight between two talented fighters near the start of their careers. Martinez was a good amateur who’s made a perfect start to his pro career but hasn’t faced a strong level of opposition yet. Santana had an amateur background himself back in Cuba but not on the level of Martinez.Continue reading “Lester Martinez versus Raiko Santana breakdown”
Luis Torres versus Jose Guevara Palos breakdown
Luis Torres is an exciting lightweight prospect from Mexico. He’s only 19 but is already 12-0 with 8 knockouts. Jose Guevara Palos is a late replacement but is much tougher than his 6-5-1 record suggests. I think Luis Torres is the bigger puncher and has also had more time to train for this fight whileContinue reading “Luis Torres versus Jose Guevara Palos breakdown”
Efe Ajagba versus Frank Sanchez breakdown
This is an excellent fight and a very intriguing fight. Efe Ajagba is a massive puncher and a 2016 Olympian while Frank Sanchez was a good Cuban amateur and has good technical skills. Ajagba can sometimes be accused of shuffling around the ring and using the same two or three punches without much of aContinue reading “Efe Ajagba versus Frank Sanchez breakdown”
Callum Johnson versus Server Emurlaev breakdown
This isn’t a good fight and is hopefully not a sign of things to come for Johnson who is an exciting fighter. Emurlaev recently came back to the sport after a long lay off and hasn’t looked good since coming back. Johnson is a powerful light heavyweight who will either get knocked out or knockContinue reading “Callum Johnson versus Server Emurlaev breakdown”
Roman Fress versus Luca D’Ortenzi breakdown
This is another decent opponent for Roman Fress, who is slowly working his way towards a world title shot. Fress is 13-0 with eight knockouts while D’Ortenzi is 15-1 with four knockouts. Fress is a boxer-puncher and a fighter that I think could potentially win a world title. He’s got power, skills and is stillContinue reading “Roman Fress versus Luca D’Ortenzi breakdown”
Richard Riakporhe versus Krzysztof Twardowski breakdown
This is a decent comeback fight for Riakporhe who has been out the ring for two years. Twardowski is a good domestic Polish fighter but hasn’t had success when he’s boxed outside of Poland. Riakporhe has real power and has reportedly been working on his skills for the last two years so I expect himContinue reading “Richard Riakporhe versus Krzysztof Twardowski breakdown”
