I don’t think this will be a very competitive fight as Buatsi is one of the better prospects in the light heavyweight division and has beaten better opponents than Santos already. Santos has only fought three opponents with a positive record out of his 15 wins and even those opponents with winning records weren’t veryContinue reading “Joshua Buatsi versus Daniel Blenda Dos Santos breakdown”

Canelo stops Billy Joe Saunders in eight rounds
Canelo Alvarez put on a good performance and unified three belts in the super middleweight division by stopping Saunders at the end of the eighth round after Saunders retired in his corner due to an injury to his eye. I expect Canelo to attempt to become undisputed soon at super middleweight as that seems toContinue reading “Canelo stops Billy Joe Saunders in eight rounds”
Frank Sanchez versus Nagy Aguilera breakdown
This isn’t a good fight at all as Frank Sanchez is clearly past this level of competition. Aguilera has had one fight since 2017 and is a journeyman at this point in his career. I think Frank Sanchez will win this fight by knockout with six rounds due to actually being in his prime andContinue reading “Frank Sanchez versus Nagy Aguilera breakdown”
Kieron Conway versus Souleymane Cissokho breakdown
This is a good fight between two rising fringe contenders in the super welterweight division. Kieron Conway over the last few years has come out of nowhere and made a name for himself domestically in the UK while Cissokho has slowly been building up after a good amateur career. I think Cissokho is better technicallyContinue reading “Kieron Conway versus Souleymane Cissokho breakdown”
Elwin Soto versus Katsunari Takayama breakdown
I honestly don’t think this is a great fight because Takayama is 37 and only just came out of retirement while Soto is a young fighter who’s shown power. Takayama has also taken this fight on three weeks notice. Elwin Soto should have enough to win a decision over the faded Takayama though a lateContinue reading “Elwin Soto versus Katsunari Takayama breakdown”
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez versus Billy Joe Saunders
This is a 3 belt unification at super middleweight between the best fighter on the planet and Billy Joe Saunders. Canelo Alvarez is great technically and uses smart pressure to break down his opponents generally. He’s almost always in range but due to his great defence it’s very hard to hit him and he’ll counterContinue reading “Saul “Canelo” Alvarez versus Billy Joe Saunders”
Gadwin Rosa versus George Acosta breakdown
This is a good fight between two evenly matched fighters who are trying to rise up the ranks. Gadwin Rosa is 11-1 with 9 knockouts and is a fairly big puncher. George Acosta doesn’t have much power but is fairly good technically. I think this fight really could go either way as while Rosa hasContinue reading “Gadwin Rosa versus George Acosta breakdown”
Marc Castro versus Irving Macias Castillo breakdown
This is another decent learning fight for Marc Castro who is a top prospect in the sport after having a long amateur career. He has a come forward educated pressure style which breaks his opponents down and I think hes suited to being a professional rather than an amateur. Castillo hasn’t faced very good competitionContinue reading “Marc Castro versus Irving Macias Castillo breakdown”
Keyshawn Davis versus Jose Antonio Meza breakdown
This is another learning fight for Keyshawn Davis who is early in his pro career but is regarded as a top prospect. Jose Antonio Meza is a journeyman but is fairly tall for the weight class. Meza has upset one prospect who didn’t have a lot of expectation behind them but has fallen short againstContinue reading “Keyshawn Davis versus Jose Antonio Meza breakdown”
Billy Joe Saunders threatens to pull out of Canelo fight over ring size
In what is one of the more bizarre reasons for threatening to pull out of a fight Billy Joe Saunders has decided hes not happy with the ring being its usual size and wants a larger one. He wants a 24ft ring which as far as i’m aware isn’t even allowed by the commission theContinue reading “Billy Joe Saunders threatens to pull out of Canelo fight over ring size”
