Ju Wu versus Xiao Tao Su breakdown

This should be a competitive ten round fight in China between two rising lightweight prospects. I think the winner of this fight will be the second best lightweight in China and arguably won’t be to far off the first position which is currently held by Yongqiang Yang who was building a lot of momentum beforeContinue reading “Ju Wu versus Xiao Tao Su breakdown”

Pavel Silyagin versus Siarhei Khamitski breakdown

This is a better test for Silyagin than it looks on paper as while Khamitski has 19 losses he normally goes the distance and has beaten prospects hes faced in the past. Silyagin is a fighter who seems to be getting fast tracked to a world title shot in 15 or so fights. Pavel SilyaginContinue reading “Pavel Silyagin versus Siarhei Khamitski breakdown”

Hasanboy Dusmatov versus Pavel Gunchenko breakdown

Hasanboy Dusmatov was a great amateur and won gold at the 2016 Olympics games. Pavel Gunchenko was a decent amateur himself but didn’t have the international success that Dusmatov had. Both are currently 1-0 and are taking step ups quickly in their pro careers by partaking in this fight. Hasanboy Dusmatov is one of theContinue reading “Hasanboy Dusmatov versus Pavel Gunchenko breakdown”

Valery Oganisyan versus Dmitry Mikhaylenko breakdown

This is a good test for Oganisyan who is only 3-0 but is clearly being progressed fast. Mikhaylenko is a journeyman at this point though holds a record of 23-7 with all seven of those losses coming in his last nine fights. Valery Oganisyan has decent fundamentals and good power. He hasn’t been tested enoughContinue reading “Valery Oganisyan versus Dmitry Mikhaylenko breakdown”

Vitaly Petryakov versus Volodymyr Hordiienko breakdown

This is a good step up for Petryakov who looks to be one of the better Welterweight prospects coming out of Russia. Hordiienko had a great fight last time out where he lost narrowly but still fought well and on another night could have taken the decision win. Vitaly Petryakov has good fundamentals with anContinue reading “Vitaly Petryakov versus Volodymyr Hordiienko breakdown”

Moruti Mthalane title defence cancelled

Moruti Mthalane‘s recent title defence was cancelled by the commission in South Africa over issues with the promoter. Hopefully we see him back in the ring soon. He is in a stacked division full of potential great fights as long as they get made. Mthalane is 38 now and while hes still a world classContinue reading “Moruti Mthalane title defence cancelled”

Brandun Lee versus Dakota Linger breakdown

This should be a easy fight for Brandun Lee who is levels above Linger and really should be facing better competition at 20-0 with 18 knockouts. Linger is a decent club fighter and is clearly tough from the fights I’ve seen but i’m expecting an early knockout here due to Lee’s speed. I think BrandunContinue reading “Brandun Lee versus Dakota Linger breakdown”

Gary Antonio Russell versus Juan Carlos Payano breakdown

This is a good step up for Russell but one where I think he’ll struggle. Payano is a proven world level fighter who arguably beat Danny Roman in his last fight while Russell has fought no one of note and hasn’t been that impressive in doing so. While Russell is clearly skilled I think thisContinue reading “Gary Antonio Russell versus Juan Carlos Payano breakdown”

Emmanuel Rodriguez versus Reymart Gaballo breakdown

This should be a very competitive fight as both are good fighters with skills and good power. Rodriguez is coming off a long lay off and a bad loss while Gaballo is undefeated but hasn’t faced the same level of competition that Rodriguez has. Gaballo has real fight ending power and is always looking forContinue reading “Emmanuel Rodriguez versus Reymart Gaballo breakdown”

Jaron Ennis versus Chris van Heerden breakdown

This is a step up fight for Ennis however I personally don’t think he’ll struggle all that much as hes one of the best prospects in boxing and has a great skill set of technical skills combined with power and good finishing instincts. Chris van Heerden is a solid fighter but isn’t really on theContinue reading “Jaron Ennis versus Chris van Heerden breakdown”
