Starting off with Julio Cesar Martinez versus Jay Harris which took place on the 29th February 2020.

The WBC light flyweight rankings and the interesting case of Armando Torres
It’s safe to say i’m not a huge fan of the WBC Light Flyweight rankings right now for good reasons in my opinion. All of the sanctioning bodies have some bad rankings and divisional rankings which sometimes don’t make sense but the WBC’s situation at Light Flyweight is on another level. Hekkie Budler (who isContinue reading “The WBC light flyweight rankings and the interesting case of Armando Torres”
The WBC rankings need to be sorted out.
The WBC are normally ok with who they rank but recently i’ve noticed they are just picking and choosing who they want to put as the number one ranked fighter whether they deserve it or not. At Light Fly they have Hekkie Budler as the number one contender even though he lost his last fightContinue reading “The WBC rankings need to be sorted out.”
Jack Catterall waits over a year for Mandatory shot.
Jack Catterall had a very good 2018 which saw him become mandatory challenger for the WBO in January 2019. Over a year later and he hasn’t yet had his world title shot and it doesn’t seem like he’ll get it any time soon. The WBO and WBC belts were unified which has left Jose CarlosContinue reading “Jack Catterall waits over a year for Mandatory shot.”
Robin Zamora wins rematch with Ramiro Blanco
Zamora won their first fight by controversial stoppage in what I at least saw as an upset. They were ordered to fight again and by accident their second fight became the biggest fight to take place in April of this year. The Corona Virus stopped all boxing events but Nicaragua still allowed this card toContinue reading “Robin Zamora wins rematch with Ramiro Blanco”
Petros Ananyan deserves to be ranked at Super Lightweight.
Ananyan pulled off the biggest win of his career when he beat Subriel Matias on the Tyson Fury versus Deontay Wilder 2 undercard. Matias was mandatory for a world title and so you would think that beating him would get you a shot yourself or at least a high ranking in an organisation. Instead hesContinue reading “Petros Ananyan deserves to be ranked at Super Lightweight.”
Top 5 Cruiser weight prospects (april, 2020)
Cruiserweight is a division which is going through a transitional period right now. With big names such as Usyk, Gassiev and Hunter moving up to heavyweight plus long time staples of the division Lebedev retiring its left the weight class with few notable names.

5 fighters Kenshiro Teraji can fight next
I’ve been watching a lot of Kenshiro’s fights recently so I thought I’d find 5 fighters he could realistically fight next. I think hes the best in his division right now and will likely stay that way for quite a few years. The first fighter he could face is Jonathan Gonzalez. He just won aContinue reading “5 fighters Kenshiro Teraji can fight next”
5 realistic fights for Devin Haney’s voluntary defense.
Now that Haney has been reinstated as WBC champion (the whole situation is stupid) we can look at who he can fight next. Hes been given a voluntary defense so i’m going to go through a few fighters that he will realistically fight next. Its very unlikely that he will fight any big name nextContinue reading “5 realistic fights for Devin Haney’s voluntary defense.”
Top 15 fighters at 154 (April 2020)
Over the next few days i’m going to put together a top 15 list for every division and I thought i’d do Super Welterweight first because its currently one of the best divisions in boxing and I’ve watched all of the top 15 fight. Number 15 is Abass Baraou a 9-0 prospect from Germany. IContinue reading “Top 15 fighters at 154 (April 2020)”
