This is a good fight between rangy southpaw Vesialou and consistent domestic contender Osipov over eight rounds. Mikalai Vesialou has built himself a solid record of 11-0-1 with five knockouts after a good amateur career. Artur Osipov is 17-3-1 with eleven knockouts after six years as a pro. Mikalai Vesialou is a pure boxer whoContinue reading “Mikalai Vesialou versus Artur Osipov breakdown”

Fedor Papazov versus Arslan Magomedov breakdown
This is an interesting domestic fight between two Russian lightweights who have had tough careers. Papazov is nearing the end of his pro career while Magomedov is probably nearing the half way point of his. Papazo has a record of 22-4 with 13 knockouts and has been in with solid European level competition throughout hisContinue reading “Fedor Papazov versus Arslan Magomedov breakdown”
Oganes Ustyan versus Oleksandr Abramian breakdown
This is an excellent fight between two young Super Lightweights who have lots of potential between them. Oganes Ustyan is 6-0 with two knockouts while Oleksandr Abramian is 5-1-1 with two knockouts. Oganes Ustyan is a come forward pressure fighter who uses his jab to set up the majority of his punches. He’ll also useContinue reading “Oganes Ustyan versus Oleksandr Abramian breakdown”
Narek Abgaryan versus Sabelo Ngebinyana breakdown
This is a comeback fight for Abgaryan and one I expect him to win fairly comfortably. Ngebinyana is coming up a weight class and is an average domestic super flyweight in South Africa. Abgaryan isn’t a big bantamweight but possesses some technical skill which should see him through this fight. I expect Narek Abgaryan toContinue reading “Narek Abgaryan versus Sabelo Ngebinyana breakdown”
Paddy Donovan versus Jose Luis Castillo breakdown
This should be an easy fight for Donovan who has shown huge promise as a pro. Castillo is 9-5-1 and has been stopped three times by lesser punchers than Donovan. I expect Paddy Donovan to easily improve his record to 7-0 with five knockouts by stopping Castillo in the first or second round.
Lee McGregor versus Vincent Legrand breakdown
This is a good European fight between two solid bantamweights. Lee McGregor seems to be going from strength to strength and is one of the brightest prospects in the division. Vincent Legrand has built himself a 32-0 record but is padded significantly. McGregor clearly punches harder and is in my opinion better technically. He’s alsoContinue reading “Lee McGregor versus Vincent Legrand breakdown”
Michael Conlan versus TJ Doheny breakdown
This is a good fight though one where I feel Conlan has a significant advantage. The fight is taking place above the super bantamweight limit and Doheny who is a natural super bantamweight hasn’t looked great when fighting above the weight. Conlan is also bigger and a bit more technically sound. Doheny hasn’t fought forContinue reading “Michael Conlan versus TJ Doheny breakdown”
Aqib Fiaz versus Kevin Baldospino breakdown
This is a decent fight between the rising Fiaz and the tough Baldospino. Fiaz is 6-0 with no knockouts and hasn’t fought for over ten months. Baldospino fought this year but lost to a fairly unknown 2-1 fighter. Aqib Fiaz is a slick fighter who looks to box rather than brawl. He does slow downContinue reading “Aqib Fiaz versus Kevin Baldospino breakdown”
Johnny Fisher versus Danny Whitaker breakdown
This is a good step up for Fisher who is only 2-0 with his first two fights being against journeymen. Danny Whitaker is a domestic heavyweight who’s had mixed results leaving him with a record of 4-3. Johnny Fisher showed decent power and athleticism in his first two fights and has had good sparring inContinue reading “Johnny Fisher versus Danny Whitaker breakdown”
Ebanie Bridges versus Bec Connolly breakdown
Ebanie Bridges returns after her war with Shannon Courtenay against the tough Bec Connolly. Bridges is 5-1 while Connolly is 3-9 but is better than her record suggests. I actually think this fight will be more competitive than people expect as Connolly has had a full camp and Bridges isn’t a hard stylistic match upContinue reading “Ebanie Bridges versus Bec Connolly breakdown”
