April 21st-Busy day with fights across Asia!

4/16/2017

Tokyo, Japan
This coming Friday is an interesting day in Japan where we get several shows of note, with arguably the best of them taking place in Tokyo.

In the main event we'll see the unbeaten Daishi Nagata (8-0-1, 4) risking his 0 against the more experienced Vladimir Baez (21-3-2, 19), a Japanese based Dominican fighter. So far Nagata has impressed, and has been matched relatively tough, though this is a step up in class for him and he will almost certainly have to show more than he has so far into his career. As for Baez, also known as “Destino Japan”, the bout will see him seeking to return to winning ways following a stoppage loss to Teerachai Kratingdaenggym last July. A must win for Baez, and a potential career booster for Nagata.

In the chief support bout we'll see unbeaten youngster Izuki Tomioka (2-0) battle against Shun Shimazaki (8-8-1, 3) in a really good looking 8 rounder. Tomioka will be fighting over the 8 round distance for the first time and has impressed since his debut back in December, but this is a clear step up in class. Although no world beater Shimazaki is a solid fighter who was competitive with Takuya Watanabe just a few fights ago and should be a solid test here for the youngster.

Another notable supporting bout will see former OPBF title contender Dai Iwai (20-4-1, 7) battle against the upset minded Masaki Saito (13-11-6, 4). On paper this looks a mismatch but Saito, on his day, can be a banana skin and and holds a win over Seiichi Okads as well as draws with Yuichiro Kasuya and Tsuyoshi Tojo. Coming in to this Iwai has won his last 3 bouts, and will be favoured here, but it's not a given win for the Misako man.

Osaka, Japan
As well as the show in Tokyo there will also be a notable card in Osaka, headlined by the biggest Japanese bout of the day.

That big bout will be the third meeting between Tetsuya Hisada (27-9-2, 17) and Kenichi Horikawa (32-14-1, 7), who battle for the vacant Japanese Light Flyweight. Hisada was supposed to face Ken Shiro earlier in the year, but that bout was cancelled on late notice when Ken Shiro was set to fight for a world title, and ended up having this bout made on short notice instead. Coming in to this bout Horikawa is 2-0 against Hisada, and a former Japanese title holder, but is he is now 37 and well beyond his physical prime.

In an under-card bout we'll see the once beaten Yuki Takahashi (7-1, 3) battle against Sam Puadi (7-7, 5) in what looks likely to be a one-sided contest, and in another under-card bout we'll see Takeru Kamikubo (12-2, 8) battle against Masashi Odaira (6-7-2, 2). These bouts aren't the most interesting on paper but should allow fight fans to see two promising prospects in action.

Laguna, Philippines
There will also be an Asian show in the Philippines.

In arguably the most interesting bout of the show we'll see the under-rated pairing of Ernesto Saulong (19-2-1, 8) and Jestoni Autida (9-6, 4) face off in what looks like a mismatch but should be an interesting fight. On paper Saulong will be strongly favoured, he has lost just twice in his career and has got some good wins including a 2015 victory over Alie Laurel. Although Saulong has the better record Autida is no push over and has scored upsets before, and been competitive in many of his losses. This is a really intriguing match up.

In another notable bout on this card we'll see Benezer Alolod (17-8-5, 5) face off with Renz Rosia (12-5, 6) in a really well matched bout. Both of these men are good domestic level fighters, who can impress away from home, and should make for a fantastic match up against each other.

Shanghai, China
One other card will take place in China, with the most interesting looking bout being a contest between the unbeaten pairing of Venson Delopere (5-0-3, 2) and Alimu Wushouer (9-0, 7). Filipino fighter Delopere will be fighting outside of his homeland for the first time, but is being matched hard here against the very talented Wushouer.

Another unbeaten on this card will be Yongqiang Yang (6-0, 5) who risks his unbeaten record against Indonesian visitor Geisler AP (9-9, 6), who won't be expected to take the power of the Chinese hopeful

December 17th-Busy day of Action with a world title rematch!

12/14/2016

This Saturday is set to be a hectic day for Asian fight fans.

Hangzhou, China
The biggest show of the day sees action return to China for a Max Power card of international note with a world title fight, an international title fight and several bouts involving notable Chinese fighters.

The main event of the card sees WBA Super Bantamweight champion Nehomar Cermeno (25-5-1-1, 15) fight in China for a third time this year as he rematches Qiu Xiao Jun (21-3, 10), the man he beat earlier this year for the title. Cermeno has had a bizarre late career revival in China winning the title by stopping Jun and then defending it against the then unbeaten Nop Kratingdaenggym, after having been all but inactive previously. Although very talented Cermeno is 37 and it's likely that father time will get to him sooner rather than later. Saying that he did dominate Jun back in June and it's hard to see him having aged much since that win.

Another title bout from this card will see the light punching Can Xu (10-2) defending his WBA International Super Featherweight title against Japan's Spice Matsushita (16-8-1, 2). The champion will be looking for his third defense and although lacking power he has impressed at times, and looks to be developing into a talented fighter, who simply hasn't yet matured into a powerful young man. Matsushita is a true veteran having debuted more than a decade ago but at 33 he's not a spring chicken and has never fought outside of Japan before.

Another interesting international bout will see the promising Baishanbo Nasiyiwula (10-0-1, 5) battle against unbeaten New Zealander Leki Maka (9-0, 3). Baishanbo has impressed through his career, and has caught our eye in the past, but this looks like a very different assignment to his previous ones. Although the favourite the Chinese fighter will be aware that Maka holds a notable recent win over Farzan Ali Jr on the road in Fiji.

Another interesting international bout will see Chinese based Ruissian Andrey Kalyuzhnyy (13-2, 11) face off with struggling Thai Chaloemporn Singwancha (17-2, 13). On paper this looks like a really good bout but the Thai has lost his last 2 by stoppage and has struggled throughout his career when facing someone who comes to fight, like the Russian does. This could be a third straight set back for the Thai.

One other international bout will see Filipino Sonny Katiandagho (10-1, 6) face Stevie Ongen Ferdinandus (24-12-1, 12), in a bout that has been re-arranged after being been set earlier in the month. The once beaten Filipino is a guy who has had good results, including wins over Allan Tanada, Hyun Woo Yuh and Rafik Harutjunjan and this should be another.

Shanghai, China
A second, less notable, Chinese card will come from Shanghai and will a few interesting bouts of it's own, albeit at a lower level.

The main even of the card will see Indonesian fighter Geisler AP (9-8, 6) battle unbeaten local hopeful Alimu Wushouer (8-0, 6), with Wushouer looking to record his first win over an international opponent. Wushouer has impressed on the Chinese scene, as part of the League of Fists, but this could be a more interesting assignment for the unbeaten 22 year old. Geisler has never won outside of Indonesia but this could be a chance to change that.

In an all Chinese bout we'll see the heavy handed WuZhati Nuerlang (5-1, 5) take on the limited but heavy handed Chengbo Zheng (6-5-0-1, 4) in what could be an explosive contest. It's likely that we'll see Nuerlang come out on top here, given he as has stopped his last 5 opponents and that Zheng has been stopped several times before, however its good to see him face someon who has a punchers reputation themselves.

Another all-Chinese bout will see the unbeaten Naiwuzhati Nuermaimaiti (4-0-1, 2) take on the once beaten Chao Peng (5-1-2, 1) in a very interesting looking match up.

New Delhi, India
More title action will be held in India where Indian boxing megastar Vijender Singh (7-0, 6) battles against the experienced Francis Cheka (32-9-2, 17). The bout will be Singh's first defense of the WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight title, a title he won back in July with a decision victory over Kerry Hope. Cheka was once a good test for an emerging fighter but is well past his best and shouldn't trouble Singh too much here.

Cebu, Philippines
In Cebu fight fans will get a relatively uninteresting card, though the main event is worth making a note of. That main event will see the once beaten Jess Rhey Waminal (9-1-1, 5) take on Margarito Moya (9-2, 3) in what looks like a very even and competitive bout.

Ekaterinburg, Russia
In Russia we'll see unbeaten Russian Pavel Malikov (9-0, 3) take on Filipino veteran Adones Aguelo (27-14-2, 19). Aguelo, one of the more under-rated Filipino fighters, will be hoping to pick up a win here to claim the WBC Asian Boxing Council Lightweight title and score a 4th straight win. Malikov has shown promise but this is a step up for him and should be a real test for the unbeaten man.

Nevada, USA
In the US we'll see big punching Filipino Aston Palicte (21-2, 18) face off against the talented, but feather fisted, Oscar Cantu (14-0, 1) in a bout for a trio of regional titles. The bout is a “puncher Vs slickster” type of bout but should be some very fun and very exciting with Palicte almost certain to hunt a stoppage after his robbery defeat last time he fought away from the Philippines.

July 30th-Min Wook Kim returns, Barriga debuts

New York, USA
The biggest card of the day comes from New York and on that card we will get the chance to Korea's biggest hope, Min Wook Kim (15-1-1, 11) return to the ring for his most significant bout in years. The “Sniper” will be up against once beaten American Louis Cruz (11-1, 5), and the hop is that a win here will help Kim move towards some bigger, more notable bouts in the near future, with the eventual hope being a world title fight in 2017. Kim's career has lacked momentum in recent times but it's clear that an impressive outing here could help him rebuild some of the momentum he had before relocating from Korea.

Cebu, Philippines
The best of the Asian shows comes from Cebu where we see several fights of note.

One of those notable bouts will see Kenny Demecillo (10-3-2, 7) battle against Rambo Lagos (8-1-2, 5) for the WBF Asia Pacific Bantamweight title. This is a well matched bout and should prove to be one of the more even contests from the card, though we suspect Demecillo will be the favourite.

In another title fight, this time for the WBO Asia Pacific Youth Super Bantamweight title, fans will see the unbeaten and touted Jack Tepora (17-0, 12) taking on Bryan Capangpangan (10-2-1, 7). Tepora was tipped major things when he debuted but this, in many ways, is one of his first real step ups in class after having generally faced fighters who haven't come to win. For Capangpangan this is a great chance to make a name for himself.

Also on this card is 2012 Olympian Mark Anthony Barriga (0-0) who makes his professional debut, at last, as he takes on Melvin Manangquil (1-1-2, 1) in a 4 round bout at Light Flyweight.

Xinjiang, China
We also have a notable Top Rank card from China which is a long card to say the least.

The card has two really good looking bouts. One of those comes at Lightweight as the unbeaten, and heavy handed, Alimu Wushouer (7-0, 6) takes on Xiao Long Yang (5-1-1, 4) in a bout that we expect to go the 8 round schedule. These two men met in April 2015, when both were debuting, and Yang was stopped in 88 seconds, his only loss to date and Yang will be looking to avenge that defeat here. A win for Wushouer is likely to see him progress into some notable international bouts in the next 12 months.

In the Light Middleweight division we have unbeaten fighters faxing off as the hard hitting Qiang Luo (6-0, 4) faces the light hitting Alimu Tuersun (6-0-1) in an intriguing match up between two men who look well matched on paper. It's easy to go with the puncher in a bout like this but Tuersun has the youth advantage, is taller, rangier and has more experience, with 10 more rounds, than his rival.

Kulon Progo, Indonesia
In Indonesia the experienced Eddy Comaro (32-27-5, 13) will be up against novice Benny Tamaela (3-3, 1). On paper it's easy to favour Comaro, he has fought at a higher level, has more experience and has more KO's than Tamaela has total bouts. Saying that however bot men are very flawed and this should prove to be a competitive match up.

Sao Paulo, Brazil
In Brazil fans will see Indian fighter Neeraj Goyat (7-2-2, 2) battle against local fighter Guilherme Castagnazzi Ribeiro (3-1, 3) in an 8 rounder. Despite starting his career 0-2-2 Goyat has rebuilt well and won 8 straight, with wins in China, Korea and India, he's now looking to add a win in Brazil. This is however a relative step up in class.

On the same card in Brazil fans will see Indian fighter Vicky (0-0) make their debut.

New South Wales, Australia
In new Australia Chinese Middleweight Yong Zhang (5-4-1, 1) will take on the highly experienced Joe Rea (10-29-5, 4) ion a 4 rounder
