On paper this is a step up for Babic but may end up being one of his easier fights. Eric Molina has competed at world level and while he’s mostly lost when stepping up hes still clearly fought at a better level than Babic. The problem is hes 39 and doesn’t seem to have theContinue reading “Alen Babic versus Eric Molina breakdown”

Carlos Canizales versus German Valenzuela breakdown
This is a good fight between a dangerous puncher in Canizales and a rising contender in Valenzuela. Canizales looked rusty in his last fight but was starting to get back to his usual self until he was brutally knocked out by Esteban Bermudez. German Valenzuela is coming off a win but recently lost a fightContinue reading “Carlos Canizales versus German Valenzuela breakdown”
Tursynbay Kulakhmet versus Juan Carlos Abreu breakdown
This is a decent step up for Kulakhmet who is a fast rising prospect in the super welterweight division. He’s only 4-0 but is stepping up to a fight with Abreu who has been a solid gatekeeper for years. Abreu is moving up for this fight but was a big welterweight so it shouldn’t beContinue reading “Tursynbay Kulakhmet versus Juan Carlos Abreu breakdown”
Jamel Herring versus Shakur Stevenson breakdown
This is an excellent fight between the WBO super featherweight world champion Jamel Herring and former featherweight world champion Shakur Stevenson. In this fight Stevenson will be trying to become a two weight world champion while Herring is trying to get the biggest win of his career which will elevate him into big unification fightsContinue reading “Jamel Herring versus Shakur Stevenson breakdown”
Fiodor Czerkaszyn versus Gonzalo Gaston Coria breakdown
Czerkaszyn is one of the best prospects in the middleweight division and a fighter I’ve been keeping an eye on for a while. He’s got a good skill set which involves breaking his opponents down combined with great timing. I think his power is decent for the division though he’ll never be a massive puncher.Continue reading “Fiodor Czerkaszyn versus Gonzalo Gaston Coria breakdown”
Miguel Madueno versus Jose Luis Rodriguez breakdown
This is a stay busy fight for Madueno who is a rising contender in the lightweight division. He’s 25-0 with 23 knockouts and the power he shows on his record is real. Jose Luis Rodriguez is a tough journeyman who’s aim will be to go the distance in this fight. I think Miguel Madueno willContinue reading “Miguel Madueno versus Jose Luis Rodriguez breakdown”
Xander Zayas versus Dan Karpency breakdown
This is a solid fight between rising blue chip prospect Xander Zayas and tough domestic contender Dan Karpency. Zayas is seen as the future of Puerto Rican by many people involved in boxing, including his promoters at Top Rank who signed him when he was only 16 years old. Now at the age of 19Continue reading “Xander Zayas versus Dan Karpency breakdown”
Oscar Rivas versus Ryan Rozicki breakdown
This is a good fight though unfortunately one that has an unneeded title attached to it. This fight will crown the first WBC Bridger weight world champion, an unneeded division recently made up by the WBC. Mauricio Sulaiman who is currently the head of the WBC decided that small heavyweights had no chance against biggerContinue reading “Oscar Rivas versus Ryan Rozicki breakdown”
Andy Hiraoka versus Jin Sasaki breakdown
This is an excellent fight between two young Japanese Super Lightweights. Both are big punchers and no matter the outcome of this bout will likely have good careers. Hiraoka is a bit more seasoned and technically a little better in my opinion but does give up the raw power advantage. Jin Sasaki doesn’t have muchContinue reading “Andy Hiraoka versus Jin Sasaki breakdown”
Emanuel Navarrete beats Joet Gonzalez in brutal battle
Emanuel Navarrete successfully made the second defence of his WBO featherweight world title by beating Joet Gonzalez on points after a hard fight. The judges gave in cards of 118-110, 116-112 and 116-112, I thought these cards fairly represented the fight. Navarrete and Gonzalez got off to a fast start and kept that pace upContinue reading “Emanuel Navarrete beats Joet Gonzalez in brutal battle”
