This is a nice fight for Zelfa Barrett as Donovan should test him but isn’t a natural super featherweight. Zelfa Barrett has good skills and I like how much he goes to the body. He’s not terrible defensively but hes also not great. Barrett has very quick hands and is also very good technically. He’sContinue reading “Zelfa Barrett versus Eric Donovan breakdown”

John Docherty versus Anthony Fox breakdown.
This is the first big step up for John Docherty and will really show us just how good he is and if he’s ready to move on to the next level. Anthony Fox is a good domestic gatekeeper. John Docherty is a solid Super Middleweight who has looked perfect in his 8-0 career so far.Continue reading “John Docherty versus Anthony Fox breakdown.”
Felix Cash versus Jason Welborn breakdown
This should be a fun fight and also a good test for Felix Cash too see if he’s ready to move on to European level or not. Jason Welborn needs to win this fight if he’s going to be anything but a gatekeeper at this point in his career. I’m not going to break downContinue reading “Felix Cash versus Jason Welborn breakdown”
Shannon Courtenay versus Rachel Ball breakdown
This should be a very competitive fight and really is the perfect fight for both. Courtenay hasn’t really fought anyone yet and needs a major step up fight and Rachel Ball is a good fighter who could really progress her career if she wins live on Sky Sports. Courtenay normally boxes on the front footContinue reading “Shannon Courtenay versus Rachel Ball breakdown”
Ryo Sagawa versus Yuri Takemoto breakdown
Ryo Sagawa has come back from an early set back and now looks to be one of Japan’s best prospect’s. I think with the right fights he’s only 3 or 4 fights away from a world title shot. Takemoto has also come back from early setbacks but hasn’t faced the level of competition that SagawaContinue reading “Ryo Sagawa versus Yuri Takemoto breakdown”
Craig Maclntyre versus Ischmael Ellis breakdown
This is a nice fight which should be competitive. Maclntyre should be the slight favourite as he’s the natural 140 pounder who has also had more notice while Ellis is taking this fight on short notice. Both have had a few competitive fights where they haven’t looked the best and this is a fight whereContinue reading “Craig Maclntyre versus Ischmael Ellis breakdown”
Naoya Inoue versus Jason Moloney in the works.
Mike Coppinger has reported that Inoue and Moloney are in talks for a fight that will be broadcast on ESPN or ESPN+. No date or location has been talked about publicly yet but I do know that Top Rank wanted to bring Inoue over to fight in the USA pre-pandemic. It wouldn’t surprise me ifContinue reading “Naoya Inoue versus Jason Moloney in the works.”
Sean McComb versus Siar Ozgul breakdown
This should be another good test for Sean McComb who appears to be one of the fighters that MTK are pushing the most. Ozgul in recent years has been given opportunities as the B-side to good prospects or high level guys and he’s in a similar situation here. Siar Ozgul isn’t a bad fighter andContinue reading “Sean McComb versus Siar Ozgul breakdown”
Jono Carroll versus Maxi Hughes breakdown
I’m not going to lie and try to sell this as a competitive fight as really this is a tune up fight for Carroll before moving onto bigger fights next year. Maxi Hughes is a decent domestic fighter but in recent years has shown he gets beat by the top fighters at British level. JonoContinue reading “Jono Carroll versus Maxi Hughes breakdown”
Pierce O’Leary versus Jacob Quinn breakdown.
This is the first step up fight for O’Leary who has only faced journeymen so far in his 4 fight pro career. Jacob Quinn is also 4-0 so this is a very good match up between two unbeaten prospects. Pierce O’Leary has substantial power though his record doesn’t show it because he’s only fought veryContinue reading “Pierce O’Leary versus Jacob Quinn breakdown.”
