Alen “The Savage” Babic will take on Mark “Bad News” Bennett over eight rounds in the second week of Matchroom’s annual fight camp series. Alen Babic (7-0, seven knockouts) has gone on a rampage over the last two years in true “savage” style and seemingly has no plans on stopping anytime soon. His latest challengerContinue reading “Alen Babic versus Mark Bennett breakdown”

Eric Walker versus Ivan Golub breakdown
This is a good fight between fringe contenders in the Welterweight and Super Welterweight divisions. Ivan Golub has gone on a solid run since losing a controversial decision to Jamontay Clark in 2017 while Walker recently put in a good but losing performance versus Uzbek prospect Israil Madrimov. Both are tough fighters who have beenContinue reading “Eric Walker versus Ivan Golub breakdown”
Michael Hunter versus Mike Wilson breakdown
I’m a little disappointed in Michael Hunter as he was on a good run at heavyweight but since drawing with Povetkin on the Anthony Joshua versus Andy Ruiz 2 card hes only had one fight versus a vastly inferior opponent and is doing the same here eight months later. Mike Wilson hasn’t fought since 2019Continue reading “Michael Hunter versus Mike Wilson breakdown”
Gakuya Furuhashi versus Seigo Hanamori breakdown
I’m a little surprised this fight is taking place as Hanamori doesn’t have a lot of experience and probably needs a few more fights before stepping up for a Japanese title fight at super bantamweight. Furuhashi the current champion has a wealth of experience and he used that to win the title in January. He’sContinue reading “Gakuya Furuhashi versus Seigo Hanamori breakdown”
Petro Ivanov versus Rafael Amarillas Ortiz breakdown
Petro Ivanov is a dark horse in the super middleweight division and if he keeps progressing could be in some fringe world level fights. Ortiz is a domestic fighter in Mexico who’s had mixed results and is a fairly average fighter in my opinion. I think Petro Ivanov will have too much power for OrtizContinue reading “Petro Ivanov versus Rafael Amarillas Ortiz breakdown”
Michael Polite Coffie versus Jonathan Rice breakdown
This should be a good fight for Coffie to get rounds in but not much else. Coffie has gone from being a heavyweight no one knew to being a fringe world level contender who was supposed to take on a good name in Gerald Washington this weekend. Washington had to pull out of the fightContinue reading “Michael Polite Coffie versus Jonathan Rice breakdown”
Sandy Ryan versus Kirstie Bavington breakdown
Sandy Ryan is making her pro debut after an accomplished amateur career. Bavington is a good opponent for her debut and clearly shows they want to move her quickly towards a title shot. Sandy Ryan is very technically good and may find her style fits the pro’s better than the amateurs. Bavington isn’t a badContinue reading “Sandy Ryan versus Kirstie Bavington breakdown”
Campbell Hatton versus Jakub Laskowski breakdown
This is a good learning fight for Hatton as Laskowski should attempt to fight back for at least the first couple of rounds. Laskowski has won fights before which is an improvement on Hatton’s first two opponents who had a record of 0-14 between the two of them. This is understandable due to Hatton’s limitedContinue reading “Campbell Hatton versus Jakub Laskowski breakdown”
Avni Yildirim versus Jack Cullen breakdown
This isn’t a fight anybody could have seen coming and is probably the strangest piece of match making I’ve seen in a while. Avni Yildirim is coming off a loss to the current P4P best fighter in the world in Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, in front of a crowd of more than 15,000 people. Jack CullenContinue reading “Avni Yildirim versus Jack Cullen breakdown”
Can Xu versus Leigh Wood breakdown
This is a decent fight due to Can Xu not having fought since 2019 and Leigh Wood having a style which could cause Xu problems. Can Xu won the WBA world (regular) title in early 2019 and made two defences in the same year. He hasn’t fought since then due to Covid and Josh WarringtonContinue reading “Can Xu versus Leigh Wood breakdown”
