This is a good test for Oganisyan who is only 3-0 but is clearly being progressed fast. Mikhaylenko is a journeyman at this point though holds a record of 23-7 with all seven of those losses coming in his last nine fights. Valery Oganisyan has decent fundamentals and good power. He hasn’t been tested enoughContinue reading “Valery Oganisyan versus Dmitry Mikhaylenko breakdown”

Vitaly Petryakov versus Volodymyr Hordiienko breakdown
This is a good step up for Petryakov who looks to be one of the better Welterweight prospects coming out of Russia. Hordiienko had a great fight last time out where he lost narrowly but still fought well and on another night could have taken the decision win. Vitaly Petryakov has good fundamentals with anContinue reading “Vitaly Petryakov versus Volodymyr Hordiienko breakdown”
Moruti Mthalane title defence cancelled
Moruti Mthalane‘s recent title defence was cancelled by the commission in South Africa over issues with the promoter. Hopefully we see him back in the ring soon. He is in a stacked division full of potential great fights as long as they get made. Mthalane is 38 now and while hes still a world classContinue reading “Moruti Mthalane title defence cancelled”
Brandun Lee versus Dakota Linger breakdown
This should be a easy fight for Brandun Lee who is levels above Linger and really should be facing better competition at 20-0 with 18 knockouts. Linger is a decent club fighter and is clearly tough from the fights I’ve seen but i’m expecting an early knockout here due to Lee’s speed. I think BrandunContinue reading “Brandun Lee versus Dakota Linger breakdown”
Gary Antonio Russell versus Juan Carlos Payano breakdown
This is a good step up for Russell but one where I think he’ll struggle. Payano is a proven world level fighter who arguably beat Danny Roman in his last fight while Russell has fought no one of note and hasn’t been that impressive in doing so. While Russell is clearly skilled I think thisContinue reading “Gary Antonio Russell versus Juan Carlos Payano breakdown”
Emmanuel Rodriguez versus Reymart Gaballo breakdown
This should be a very competitive fight as both are good fighters with skills and good power. Rodriguez is coming off a long lay off and a bad loss while Gaballo is undefeated but hasn’t faced the same level of competition that Rodriguez has. Gaballo has real fight ending power and is always looking forContinue reading “Emmanuel Rodriguez versus Reymart Gaballo breakdown”
Jaron Ennis versus Chris van Heerden breakdown
This is a step up fight for Ennis however I personally don’t think he’ll struggle all that much as hes one of the best prospects in boxing and has a great skill set of technical skills combined with power and good finishing instincts. Chris van Heerden is a solid fighter but isn’t really on theContinue reading “Jaron Ennis versus Chris van Heerden breakdown”
Marc Castro versus Luis Javier Valdes breakdown
I wouldn’t normally cover a four rounder but this is the debut of former amateur standout Marc Castro who has been trying to turn pro for a few months now but has had delays because of Covid. He’s got great skills and should be able to breeze through this level of competition however his powerContinue reading “Marc Castro versus Luis Javier Valdes breakdown”
Frank Sanchez versus Julian Fernandez breakdown
This should be a really easy fight for Frank Sanchez who is a rising prospect in the heavyweight division. He’s put in some good performances and is clearly ready to fight a fringe contender. Fernandez has never beat anyone good and isn’t a big heavyweight at all. In his two fights versus prospects hes beenContinue reading “Frank Sanchez versus Julian Fernandez breakdown”
Canelo Alvarez versus Callum Smith breakdown
This is the biggest fight since the pandemic and potentially the biggest fight of this year. Canelo Alvarez is the pound for pound best fighter on the planet while Callum Smith is a top 5 fighter at 168 pounds. Canelo Alvarez is a great boxer who does everything well. He has great defence, timing andContinue reading “Canelo Alvarez versus Callum Smith breakdown”
