Steve Claggett is looking to bounce back after he was upset by Mathieu Germain a few months ago. Claggett is a solid Super lightweight, who has been a staple of the Canadian domestic scene for years. Emanuel Lopez was once a fairly good fighter but is currently on a bad streak. He’s lost his lastContinue reading “Steve Claggett versus Emanuel Lopez breakdown”

Frank Martin versus Ryan Kielczweski breakdown
This is a good step for Martin’s career, who in my opinion is a dark horse in the lightweight division, as Kielczweski has faced a few good names but has never been stopped. Martin is a boxer-puncher with great technical skills. He’s got quick hands and uses them effectively both on the front and backContinue reading “Frank Martin versus Ryan Kielczweski breakdown”
Victor Ortiz versus Robert Guerrero breakdown
This should be a fun fight, even if it is a bit of random match making. Both of these fighters are effectively retired but are being brought back in what should on paper be an entertaining slug fest. The two are also completely past their best and at this point I have no idea whatContinue reading “Victor Ortiz versus Robert Guerrero breakdown”
Manny Pacquiao versus Yordenis Ugas breakdown
After Errol Spence Jr had to pull out of the fight versus Manny Pacquiao, this fight was made as a replacement. I think it’s an excellent fight considering how short notice it is. Ugas is a top five welterweight who is getting the opportunity of his career on Saturday night. Pacquiao has hinted that thisContinue reading “Manny Pacquiao versus Yordenis Ugas breakdown”
Zhan Kossobutskiy versus Joey Dawejko breakdown
This is a good step up for Kossobutskiy who is 15-0 but has faced a fairly low level of competition so far in his career. Joey Dawejko is a well known gatekeeper at heavyweight and has faced a lot of top names in the division throughout his career. Zhan Kossobutskiy is a good technical boxerContinue reading “Zhan Kossobutskiy versus Joey Dawejko breakdown”
Mark Magsayo versus Julio Ceja breakdown
This is a great fight between the unbeaten Mark Magsayo and former WBC Super Bantamweight world champion Julio Ceja. Magsayo has been a professional since 2013 but has moved slowly due to both his age and his need for developmental years to work on his skills. He’s a boxer-puncher who has good left hooks. HisContinue reading “Mark Magsayo versus Julio Ceja breakdown”
Jose Nunez versus Jorge Saquinga breakdown
This is a better fight than it looks on paper as Saquinga recently scored an upset win over Julio Cortez who went on to fight Albert Bell in America as a B side. Jose Nunez is a fringe prospect who will likely struggle to get big fights and opportunities because hes from Panama. That mightContinue reading “Jose Nunez versus Jorge Saquinga breakdown”
Jaime Arboleda versus Jonathan Victor Barros breakdown
This is a decent comeback fight for Jaime Arboleda who lost to Chris Colbert in his last fight. Jonathan Victor Barros has won his last two fights but is past his best. Arboleda is a tough boxer-puncher who has lapses defensively. Barros is the same but a lot older at 37. I think this fightContinue reading “Jaime Arboleda versus Jonathan Victor Barros breakdown”
Carlos Castro versus Oscar Escandon breakdown
This is a decent fight for Castro who is 26-0 but is only recently getting onto big cards. He’s a talented fighter who looked like a real threat to both super bantamweight and featherweight in his last fight where he dominated the tough Cesar Juarez. He showed a good offensive arsenal in that fight alongContinue reading “Carlos Castro versus Oscar Escandon breakdown”
Roger Gutierrez versus Rene Alvarado 3 breakdown
The second fight between these two was great and I expect the third to be more of the same. Gutierrez is the bigger puncher of the two and scored three knockdowns in their last fight. Alvarado was out-working Gutierrez in a lot of the rounds he didn’t get knocked down in but lost the fightContinue reading “Roger Gutierrez versus Rene Alvarado 3 breakdown”
