Alberto Ezequiel Melian versus Frency Fortunato turns into an all time war

When I was looking at this on paper I thought Melian would lose decisively because he was moving up in weight and I was right to an extent. Fortunato knocked Melian down four times in the first five rounds before Melian came on strong late and dropped Fortunato three times and secured himself the victoryContinue reading “Alberto Ezequiel Melian versus Frency Fortunato turns into an all time war”

Andy Ruiz Jr versus Chris Arreola set for April on PPV

Boxingscene reported today that the long rumoured Ruiz versus Arreola fight will take place in April on Fox PPV in the USA. Both of these fighters are coming off losses and haven’t fought since 2019 which wouldn’t be a huge problem if it wasn’t such a bad match up that is being shoved on PPVContinue reading “Andy Ruiz Jr versus Chris Arreola set for April on PPV”

Jay Harris versus Ricardo Rafael Sandoval ordered as eliminator for IBF Flyweight mandatory

The IBF has today ordered Jay Harris and Ricardo Rafael Sandoval to fight with the winner becoming mandatory for IBF Flyweight world champion Moruti Mthalane. I think this is an excellent fight between two top contenders at Flyweight where the winner will deservedly get a title shot. Jay Harris has had one title shot whereContinue reading “Jay Harris versus Ricardo Rafael Sandoval ordered as eliminator for IBF Flyweight mandatory”

David Benavidez versus Anthony Dirrell rematch to potentially determine new WBC mandatory.

It’s been reported that David Benavidez versus Ronald Ellis is also a WBC eliminator with the winner facing whoever wins the other Eliminator between Anthony Dirrell and Kyrone Davis. I do think a rematch is fairly pointless though I thought the first fight was competitive until Dirrell got cut and then he fell apart. IContinue reading “David Benavidez versus Anthony Dirrell rematch to potentially determine new WBC mandatory.”

Oscar Valdez scores potential KO of the year

Oscar Valdez on Saturday night scored the best knockout of his career when as an underdog he knocked Miguel Berchelt out cold in the 10th round of their fight. The fight was back and forth to an extent however I felt Valdez controlled the majority of the fight with clever boxing. Berchelt had some successContinue reading “Oscar Valdez scores potential KO of the year”

Gavin Gwynne upsets Sean McComb

Gavin Gwynne caused a big upset due to his toughness and grit. I didn’t necessarily think he was the more skilled fighter but he had a lot more stamina and also had more will to win which in the end made him the better fighter and got him the victory. It’s nice too see himContinue reading “Gavin Gwynne upsets Sean McComb”

Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov and Kenichi Ogawa ordered to fight for vacant IBF Super featherweight world title

The IBF have ordered a fight between Rakhimov and Ogawa for the newly vacant IBF 130 pound title. These are still the two highest rated contenders as Rakhimov was number one and just fought to a draw while fighting for the title and Kenichi Ogawa is ranked third which is the next highest. The numberContinue reading “Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov and Kenichi Ogawa ordered to fight for vacant IBF Super featherweight world title”

Josh Warrington loses in massive upset

Josh Warrington who was widely regarded as the number one featherweight in the world lost in a major upset to relatively unknown Mauricio Lara. Coming into the fight people knew Lara could punch but he’d only faced domestic fighters in Mexico for the main part and at least in my eyes didn’t have the experienceContinue reading “Josh Warrington loses in massive upset”
