I think this is the best fight of the weekend by far as it features two top 10 guys going at it in a real competitive match up. Joseph Diaz is defending his IBF Super Featherweight title for the first time versus his mandatory challenger Rakhimov. Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov was a good amateur and like mostContinue reading “Joseph Diaz versus Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov breakdown”

Alberto Ezequiel Melian versus Luis Fernando Molina breakdown
This should be a fairly easy fight for Melian who is having his second comeback fight after losing to Oscar Negrete in America. Molina is having his first fight in two years and has been a journeyman domestic fighter in Argentina throughout his career before he was brought to fight in America twice and loseContinue reading “Alberto Ezequiel Melian versus Luis Fernando Molina breakdown”
Dalton Smith versus Ishmael Ellis breakdown
I think this is a bit of a step down for Smith who had a harder fight last time out however its understandable as his original opponent didn’t make it to the fight. Ishmael Ellis is a domestic fighter who has lost every time hes stepped up though has normally given a decent account ofContinue reading “Dalton Smith versus Ishmael Ellis breakdown”
Josh Warrington versus Mauricio Lara breakdown
This should be a fairly easy fight for Warrington who has proved hes world level again and again. Mauricio Lara is taking his first big step up in competition and its a massive leap from the fighters he usually faces. Josh Warrington is a decent technical boxer who comes forward and pressures his opponents constantlyContinue reading “Josh Warrington versus Mauricio Lara breakdown”
Ryu Horikawa versus Yudai Shigeoka breakdown
This should be an excellent fight between two young fighters who are early in their careers. Yudai Shigeoka has looked excellent so far and a lot is expected of him due to his amateur pedigree. Horikawa is also someone that has looked good in their fights however not as much is expected of the youngster.Continue reading “Ryu Horikawa versus Yudai Shigeoka breakdown”
Ryo Sagawa versus Hinata Maruta breakdown
This is a really good fight between two top rated Japanese Featherweights. The winner will be ranked in the top 15 of at least one sanctioning body which makes the fight have high stakes. The winner will also be cemented as the best active featherweight from Japan. Ryo Sagawa had a rocky start to hisContinue reading “Ryo Sagawa versus Hinata Maruta breakdown”
Bektemir Melikuziev versus Morgan Fitch breakdown
This is a mismatch but i’m not mad at the fight as it’s been put together at late notice after Sergey Kovalev failed tests for steroids. He was supposed to be fighting Melikuziev but after failing two tests he was pulled from the fight and his career at an international level is likely over. MorganContinue reading “Bektemir Melikuziev versus Morgan Fitch breakdown”
5 fighters Jaime Munguia could fight next
I did a list similar to this one last year for Munguia but with the new year and the middleweight division moving around a little bit I’ve decided to do another one. The first fighter Jaime Munguia could fight next realistically is Jermall Charlo. He’s the WBC world champion and I think the fight isContinue reading “5 fighters Jaime Munguia could fight next”
Elnur Abduraimov versus Deivi Julio breakdown
This is a normal step for Abduraimov to take at this point in his career. He’s 6-0 with six knockouts and hasn’t faced any problems with anyone hes fought yet. That likely won’t change with this fight but Julio is someone that a lot of prospects have fought and only the best ones have beenContinue reading “Elnur Abduraimov versus Deivi Julio breakdown”
GGG and Jaime Munguia in talks for fight.
The promoters of Jaime Munguia have said that they are trying to negotiate a fight between him and Gennadiy Golovkin otherwise known as “GGG”. This would be for Golovkin’s IBF Middleweight title and would be a big fight in the sport. Recent statements from Munguia’s promoters makes it seem like the fight may not happenContinue reading “GGG and Jaime Munguia in talks for fight.”
