Yusuf Kanguel versus Petro Ivanov breakdown

Not many people will be excited for this match up but I believe it should be a competitive and fun fight. Yusuf Kanguel needs to win here or he will have to go back down to domestic level and perhaps have to look at his future in the sport. Petro Ivanov is on a reallyContinue reading “Yusuf Kanguel versus Petro Ivanov breakdown”

Qais Ashfaq versus Marc Leach breakdown

This is a good test for Ashfaq who should be aiming to move beyond domestic level within his next two or three fights. Marc Leach is on a good run of form but this is his biggest step up in competition yet. Qais Ashfaq is a 2016 Olympian and has a good amateur background. HeContinue reading “Qais Ashfaq versus Marc Leach breakdown”

Xander Zayas versus Anthony Curtiss breakdown

I normally wouldn’t do a breakdown for a four rounder like this but I thought it should be highlighted because of Zayas. He was the youngest boxer to ever sign with Top Rank and is seen by many people in the sport as a future star. It’s obvious how high hopes are for him asContinue reading “Xander Zayas versus Anthony Curtiss breakdown”

Eduard Troyanovsky versus Renald Garrido breakdown

This is a good test to see how much Troyanovsky has left in the tank at the age of 40 and after a decently long career. Renald Garrido is a journeyman but he always comes to fight and is much better than his 25-27-3 record suggests. Eduard Troyanovsky is decent fundamentally but can’t really fightContinue reading “Eduard Troyanovsky versus Renald Garrido breakdown”

Reiya Abe versus Ren Sasaki breakdown

This is a really good domestic clash between two Japanese fighters who need a decisive win soon. I think both do all things decently though Abe has proven he has a really good chin. I don’t think there is a huge difference between them however Abe is more experienced. I think because they are soContinue reading “Reiya Abe versus Ren Sasaki breakdown”

Ievgen Khytrov versus Vaughn Alexander breakdown

This should be a solid fight and a good test for Khytrov too see if he can start to climb back towards the top of the super middleweight division. Ievgen Khytrov was a good amateur so does everything fundamentally well. He has a decent jab and throws in combination for the most part. I don’tContinue reading “Ievgen Khytrov versus Vaughn Alexander breakdown”

David Lemieux versus Francy Ntetu breakdown

This is another fight that shouldn’t be very competitive and is a tune up bout for David Lemieux. David Lemieux is a big puncher and is facing Ntetu who has been knocked out in all three of his losses. He also has no power to trouble Lemieux so this should be an easy fight forContinue reading “David Lemieux versus Francy Ntetu breakdown”

Arslanbek Makhmudov versus Dillon Carman breakdown

Makhmudov is one of the best prospects in the heavyweight division and has huge power. This isn’t a particularly hard breakdown because Makhmudov is a massive puncher and Carman has been knocked out four times. I think Makhmudov will win by knockout within the first two rounds.

Nathan Gorman versus Richard Lartey breakdown

This is a solid come back fight for Nathan Gorman and one he could probably lose. Nathan Gorman is the better technical boxer and has more skills but probably doesn’t have the one punch KO power of Lartey. He normally has decent defensive skills and can go 10 rounds without any problems. He turned upContinue reading “Nathan Gorman versus Richard Lartey breakdown”

Liam Williams versus Andrew Robinson breakdown

This would be a good domestic match up but I believe Liam Williams is a world class fighter at this point and will soon be challenging for world titles. Liam Williams is an insanely aggressive fighter that puts on great pressure and clearly has good power. His defence is surprisingly solid considering how offensive mindedContinue reading “Liam Williams versus Andrew Robinson breakdown”
