Katsunari Takayama beats Reiya Konishi in comeback fight
Earlier today former world champion Takayama won a six round decision over former title challenger Konishi. Takayama is now 37 and is looking for one last run to the top of the sport.
James Kirkland versus Juan Macias Montiel breakdown
This fight is between two big punchers and likely won’t go the distance. My gut tells me that Kirkland is past his best and versus a hard hitting puncher he’ll come apart after a few rounds. I think Montiel will win by knockout due to being younger and more active in recent years.
David Morrell versus Mike Gavronski breakdown
This shouldn’t be a very competitive fight as Morrell is highly skilled and has already beaten better competition than Gavronski. Morrell is a former Cuban amateur standout and has adapted well to the pro ranks and proved that in his last fight where he beat Lennox Allen who was 22-0-1 at the time. I thinkContinue reading “David Morrell versus Mike Gavronski breakdown”
Masamichi Yabuki versus Toshimasa Ouchi breakdown
This is a solid fight between Yabuki and Ouchi over ten rounds for the Japanese Light Fly title. Yabuki is on a good run right now and with a few more wins could be looking at a title shot in the near future. Ouchi came out of a three year retirement last year and gotContinue reading “Masamichi Yabuki versus Toshimasa Ouchi breakdown”
Jin Sasaki versus Aso Ishiwaki breakdown
This should be a fun eight round fight for however long it lasts. Sasaki is one of the best prospects coming out of Japan at the moment and currently holds a record of 9-0 with 8 knockouts. Aso Ishiwaki is 8-2-1 with 6 knockouts and is someone I see as an exciting domestic fighter. JinContinue reading “Jin Sasaki versus Aso Ishiwaki breakdown”
Masayuki Ito versus Hironori Mishiro breakdown
This should be an excellent fight between two Japanese Super Featherweights who are competing at lightweight for this bout. Ito is a former world champion but hasn’t been very active since losing his belt to Jamel Herring. Mishiro is undefeated at 9-0-1 but hasn’t faced the same level of competition as Ito. Masayuki Ito hasContinue reading “Masayuki Ito versus Hironori Mishiro breakdown”
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”
