This is an excellent fight in the cruiser weight division and the winner should be close to a world title shot. Tommy McCarthy has rebounded well after a TKO loss to Richard Riakporhe in 2019 by winning the WBC International title on away soil in Italy, beating Bilal Laggoune for the European title and defendingContinue reading “Tommy McCarthy versus Chris Billam-Smith breakdown”

Conor Benn versus Adrian Granados breakdown
This is a decent fight though I think Conor Benn is catching Granados at the right time as in the last few years Granados has looked like hes on the slide. Conor Benn is 18-0 with 12 knockouts and seems to be improving fight by fight. He’s very creative and good offensively though has someContinue reading “Conor Benn versus Adrian Granados breakdown”
Anthony Fowler versus Rico Mueller breakdown

Anthony Fowler has been steadily rebuilding himself after taking his first loss to Scott Fitzgerald with his most notable win being over Jorge Fortea who once took part in a final eliminatorContinue reading “Anthony Fowler versus Rico Mueller breakdown”
Mirko Natalizi versus Dmytro Shcherbyna breakdown
This is a decent step up for Natalizi who is a talented fighter with a good amateur background. He’s a good size for the weight and possesses one punch power. In his more recent fights he’s started to adjust to being a professional fighter and seems much more comfortable in the ring. Shcherbyna is alsoContinue reading “Mirko Natalizi versus Dmytro Shcherbyna breakdown”
Arslanbek Makhmudov versus Pavel Sour breakdown
This is a match up that shouldn’t have been made due to how uncompetitive it is. Makhmudov is 11-0 with 11 knockouts and has shown huge power. He’s already beaten fighters that are better than Pavel Sour but seems to be struggling to get good opponents to fight him. Pavel Sour in recent years hasContinue reading “Arslanbek Makhmudov versus Pavel Sour breakdown”
Erick Rosa Pacheco versus Ricardo Astuvilc breakdown
Erick Rosa Pacheco is one of the best prospects in the little known minimum-weight division. Ricardo Astuvilc boasts a good looking record of 21-0 with four knockouts but when you look beyond the surface it’s safe to say that it’s heavily padded and Pacheco at 3-0 already has better wins than Astuvilc does. Pacheco isContinue reading “Erick Rosa Pacheco versus Ricardo Astuvilc breakdown”
Alberto Puello versus Jesus Antonio Rubio breakdown
This is a decent match up between fringe contender Alberto Puello and Jesus Antonio Rubio who scored an upset win over Sonny Fredrickson a few months ago. Puello is 18-0 with 10 knockouts while Rubio is 13-3-1 with 7 knockouts. Alberto Puello is a boxer-puncher with respectable technical skills and power. He impressed last timeContinue reading “Alberto Puello versus Jesus Antonio Rubio breakdown”
Seigo Yuri Akui versus Taku Kuwahara breakdown
This is a good fight at flyweight for the Japanese Flyweight title over ten rounds. Akui is making his second defence while Kuwahara is taking his first shot at a professional title. Akui has decent power and fundamentals but has been stopped twice in hard fights versus Junto Nakatani and Jaysever Abcede. Kuwahara isn’t aContinue reading “Seigo Yuri Akui versus Taku Kuwahara breakdown”
Joe Joyce versus Carlos Takam breakdown
This is a good fight in the heavyweight division between contender Joe Joyce and fringe contender Carlos Takam. Joe Joyce has a great jab and clearly possesses good power. He’s a big guy and like his nickname the juggernaut suggests he never stops punching or slows down even if his punches are a little slowContinue reading “Joe Joyce versus Carlos Takam breakdown”
Murat Gassiev versus Michael Wallisch breakdown
This is a solid second fight for Gassiev at heavyweight as Wallisch is a fringe European level fighter and has fought quite a few notable heavyweights though has lost to most of them.
