Like a few other people on this card Shayken is taking a big step up in competition by taking on the hard hitting Evgeny Pavko. Shayken is only 20 but seems to be a very talented young fighter who has looked perfect as a pro since leaving his successful amateur career behind. I think thisContinue reading “Talgat Shayken versus Evgeny Pavko breakdown”

Nurtas Azhbenov versus Evgeny Smirnov breakdown
This is a good first test for Azhbenov and one he very much could lose. Azhbenov is 10-0 but hasn’t faced anyone particularly good so far in career. Evgeny Smirnov on the other hand has faced a good level of competition and always seems to fight to an even level versus good fighters. I thinkContinue reading “Nurtas Azhbenov versus Evgeny Smirnov breakdown”
Kamshybek Kunkabayev versus Server Emurlaev breakdown
Kunkabayev is 2-0 but seems like a great talent and someone I expect to progress towards a world title quickly. He was a great amateur and has shown good power and skills in the pro’s so far. Server Emurlaev has taken this fight on short notice and isn’t in my opinion a real cruiser weight.Continue reading “Kamshybek Kunkabayev versus Server Emurlaev breakdown”
Pedro Taduran versus Rene Mark Cuarto breakdown
This is a fight for the IBF minimum weight title where Taduran is having his second defence. Cuarto is a decent challenger but one who shouldn’t win in my opinion. I believe Pedro Taduran will win this fight by decision in a competitive fight because he is the more skilled fighter who possesses much moreContinue reading “Pedro Taduran versus Rene Mark Cuarto breakdown”
David Nyika versus Jesse Maio breakdown
David Nyika who is one of the top amateur heavyweights (not super heavyweights) is turning pro after a fairly successful amateur career. He has good fundamentals and I expect good power as he is an absolutely huge Cruiser weight standing at 6 foot 6. Jesse Maio isn’t a bad fighter himself but is really aContinue reading “David Nyika versus Jesse Maio breakdown”
Hemi Ahio versus Julius Lloyd Long breakdown
This is a decent tune up for Hemi Ahio and also a potential test if he doesn’t take it seriously. Hemi Ahio is 16-0 and a relatively short heavyweight while Julius Lloyd Long is 18-24-1 but is 7ft 1 and someone that has been awkward for prospects in the past. I think Hemi Ahio willContinue reading “Hemi Ahio versus Julius Lloyd Long breakdown”
Joseph Parker versus Junior Fa breakdown
I think this is an ok fight but one that has been over hyped just because its between two heavyweights from New Zealand. Joseph Parker is levels above Junior Fa and has proven that throughout his career. Parker’s only losses are to world class opponents in Whyte and Anthony Joshua where he showed a goodContinue reading “Joseph Parker versus Junior Fa breakdown”
Artur Ziyatdinov versus David Gladun breakdown
I’m looking forward to this fight as it’s a fairly evenly matched bout with high stakes for both boxers. Ziyatdinov is coming off an upset loss where he was supposed to win with relative ease while Gladun is 4-0 and on the rise. A win for both here helps progress their careers. I think theyContinue reading “Artur Ziyatdinov versus David Gladun breakdown”
Elnur Abduraimov versus Sherzodjon Abdurazzokov breakdown
I think this is a relatively short notice fight for Abdurazzokov who isn’t a bad fighter but doesn’t have the power to keep the hard hitting very strong Abduraimov away from him. I think Elnur Abduraimov will win by knockout in the first three rounds due to having huge amounts of power combined with theContinue reading “Elnur Abduraimov versus Sherzodjon Abdurazzokov breakdown”
Mirko Natalizi versus Islam Teffahi breakdown
This is an excellent step up fight for Natalizi who is starting to show promise as a pro. Teffahi has been a fringe European level operator for a while and has caused a few upsets. Teffahi is now 38 and past his prime but should have enough tricks to go the distance versus the bigContinue reading “Mirko Natalizi versus Islam Teffahi breakdown”
