Eric Armit's Snips and Snipes

8/28/2015

0 Comments

 
Huge thanks to Eric Armit, as always, for his most recent "Snips and Snipes"
   Snips and Snipes 27 August 2015

It’s good to be able to focus on some really top notch fights which don’t include the elephant in the room known as Floyd Mayweather Jr. For too long Floyd has been such a big influence on the welter and super welter divisions. Some fighters have ducked fights in case they lose the chance to be on Floyd’s dance card and others have taken risky fights to try to jostle their way into the queue whilst a third bunch have not fought at all in the hope that not losing will get them there. Floyd has been a great boxer and great for boxing. No fight has captured the public’s imagination in the way that the fight with Manny Pacquiao did and even if it disappointed in the end it was still a huge event. Floyd has fallen away a little from his best in recent fights but he is 38 and he should be assessed on when he was at his peak. Let’s face it if we judge Roy Jones on his efforts over the last six years he would have to buy his way into the Hall of Fame.

But as I started to say we can now focus on Miguel Cotto vs. Saul Alvarez. Puerto Rico vs. Mexico. The Old Master against the king in waiting. For me it is a 50/50 fight. Then there is the battle of bangers between Gennady Golovkin and David Lemieux. Golovkin with a 91% “kayo” record and Lemieux at 86%. The only other fighter in the division with a comparable % rating is Daniel Jacobs with 87%. You have to feel that one of those two is going to add another knockout to their record but it could be down to who lands first and it may not even get out of the first round. Don’t blink. We have a great all-Mexican battle between Abner Mares and Leo Santa Cruz which can’t help but be a thriller. Throw in Andy Lee vs. Billy Joe Saunders as a huge battle on our side of the Atlantic, Badou Jack vs. George Groves and further down in the weights Nonito Donaire and Scott Quigg, Roman Gonzalez vs. Brian Viloria and so many others. Boxing will miss Floyd of course and although we may not see the sort of money that his fights have generated in the game for a long time-if ever-boxing will roll on with great fights year after year if not month over month and who knows perhaps the greatest fighter in the history of boxing is at this time some small unknown kid wondering into a gym somewhere for the first time and catching the bug.

Nice gesture from WBA secondary light heavy champion Juergen Braehmer who has auctioned a signed pair of his gloves to raise money for Denis Boystov who is still recovering from a serious accident and will never be able to box again.

Marco Huck has put his loss to Krzys Glowacki down to his team. He claimed that he had not been guided to do enough conditioning work and paid for it by tiring so badly. The rumour is that he will take on former IBF super middle and WBC light heavy champion Graciano Rocchigiani as his trainer. Rocchigiani has his own gym and is already training some young fighters but he is not yet considered one of the top trainers in Germany.

Going back to Braehmer’s gloves it reminds me of a story that could only happen in boxing. Don Elbaum was one of those characters that boxing produces now and then and they just don’t seem to be around now. Way back Don was promoting a fight for Sugar Ray Robinson at a time when the greatest ever was a bit past his best. The show coincided with the date when Robinson first turned pro and the highlight of the press conference was when Don announced that after an exhausted search he had managed to find the gloves Robinson wore for that first fight and he presented them to a very moved and grateful Sugar Ray. The press went away with a great story-and Sugar Ray found he had two left gloves!!

The late Baby Jake Matlala one of South Africa’s all-time great fighters has a Foundation named after him which is helping not just young boxers but other children in need of help and is doing great work. When Floyd Mayweather Jr went to South Africa back in 2014 he visited the “Jake Matlala Boxing Academy" in Soweto to pay his respects to the family of the late boxer and to help raise funds for the Baby Jake Matlala Boxing Academy. A lovely gesture from Mayweather. Matlala was WBO fly and light fly champion and the scourge of Scotland’s lighter men. At just 4’10 ½” (148cm) must have be one of the smallest world champions in boxing history. He died in December 2013 at the tragically young age of 51.

Still on Africa look out there is another Nelson out there. Azumah Nelson, for me the best fighter to come out of Africa, was working the corner of his 19-year-old son Junior Nelson at an amateur tournament last week. Junior won his lightweight contest with proud dad Azumah declaring “I see in him a great potential to rule the world soon”. May be a bit of parental bias in there but if Junior does turn pro he will be worth watching.

Former WBO fly and super fly champion Omar Narvaez will return to the ring on 2 October against Dominican Diego Luis Pichardo Liriano. Narvaez was to have returned on September 18 but the money was not there for the fight and Narvaez also suffered a hand injury.

Italian Michele Di Riocco has been nominated as challenger to Jose Benavidez for the American’s interim WBA super light title and negotiations are on-going. Di Riocco has relinquished his EBU title and his long-time mandatory challenger Lenny Daws will face Spaniard Ruben Nieto for the vacant title with purse offers due on 10 September unless there is an earlier agreement.

Typical bit of rubbish from the WBA who have appointed Luis Ortiz and Matias Vidondo to contest their vacant interim heavyweight title. Ortiz was caught cheating when he tested positive for steroids after his win over Lateef Kayode in September 2014. He was able to box again after a derisory ban and in June beat Byron Polley (27-18-1) and is now WBA No 8. Having not been rated in the WBA ratings of 8 July Vidondo suddenly appears in the WBA ratings of 12 August at No 15 despite not having fought for 10 months! His nickname is “Matador”. In his last fight in October last year he weighed 262 ½ lbs (119kgs) if the matadors are that big how big are the bloody bulls! A farce all round how can they justify No 8 fighting No 15 for the vacant interim title. Just more WBA rubbish.

On the subject of farces the South African Sports Ministry have finally handed down their “proposals” for live broadcasting by TV of tournaments in South Africa. I say the Ministry because the proposals came from the Ministry with Boxing South Africa (BSA) the body supposed to be running boxing in South Africa just acting as a post office passing on the dictate from the ministry. It is a political document put together by people who have no idea of how the boxing business works despite there being some good people at BSA. The document says the nine provinces in South Africa will be allocated one date each (even if there is no promoter active in the province?). The provinces will “fund” the tournaments and South Africa Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) will “showcase the entire province in its promotional material” So the National TV gets the shows for free which makes it obvious that the SABC has no money for boxing. Promoters will be invited by the province to make bids for the one show in their jurisdiction but there is no guidance on how those bids will be assessed and it leaves room for BSA, SABC and the government department to get involved in the process “if requested” which means when they want to. A cronyism charter. When you cut away all the weasel words it will be South African boxing promoters who will fund boxing and actually pay the SABC to cover their show. The best thing that could happen to a promoter is that he does not get a TV date because if he does he will have no money from TV and a lot of his potential customer will just stay home and watch his show for free. Madness. You have to admire the way the promoters are continuing to put shows on down there. And don’t forget that there a whole slew of South African boxers and officials who have not been paid their purses and prizes and Filipino boxers who have suffered the same fate but the Sports Ministry obviously feels that sorting those sort of matters out is someone else’s responsibility. What bit of the title Sports Minister don’t you understand Mr Mbalula?

WBO light fly champion Donnie Nietes has his first American appearance for five years when he defends his title against Mexican Juan Alejo in Carson, California on October 17. Plans are for brothers Albert and Jason Pagara to also feature in bouts. The 33-year-old Nietes is undefeated in his last 28 fights and has made 11 title defences over the two divisions so he will get some well-merited exposure in America.

Current WBA super fly champion Kohei Koni will be making his first appearance in America when he defends his title against No 2 challenger Koki Kameda in Chicago on 16 October. First time two Japanese fighters have faced each other for a world title in America. Kameda has not fought in Japan for over two years as relations between the Kameda clan and the JBC have gone through a rocky period.

Some interesting eliminators coming/being discussed. Canadian Kevin Bizier vs. Frederic Lawson in an IBF eliminator looks a good fight. Bizier is No 6(4) and Lawson No 7(5) so the winner could position himself for a shot at Kell Brook as there is no mandatory challenger for Brook. For the WBC the Isaac Chilemba vs. Eleider Alvarez is a quality fight with Chilemba No 1 and Alvarez No 3 the winner would jump ahead of No 2 Andrzej Fonfara who fights No 12 Nathan Cleverly on 16 October. On 6 September Anthony Dirrell and Marco Antonio Rubio clash in Corpus Christi. Both badly need a win. Dirrell will be climbing in the ring for the first time since losing his title to Badou Jack in April and Rubio since being destroyed in two rounds by Gennady Golovkin in October.

Alex Povetkin’s fight with Mariusz Wach in Kazan on 4 November is covering all of the bases. Pole Wach is 6’7 ½” (202cm) so if Povetkin gets his mandatory shot at Deontay Wilder then that is good practice for the 6’7” (201cm) WBC champion and if by some chance he has to face Wlad Klitschko at 6’6” (198cm) or Tyson Fury at 6’9” (206cm) well that is covered too. Wilder’s next opponent Johann Duhaupas is not a bad choice but nor a very good one either. He was not in the WBC top 40 after losing to Erkan Teper in March but arrived at No 15 after outpointing the No 9 rated Manuel Charr so a valid rating but there is nothing in his record to indicate he should be a danger to Wilder. Once this fight is over the WBC need to get tough with Wilder and insist he makes his mandatory defence against Povetkin without having another fight. With the Eric Molina fight he has had one gift of an easy voluntary defence and if he gets past Duhaupas the WBC has to insist he fight Povetkin. I hope!

“Golden” Jack Culcay defends his interim WBA light middle title against Ireland’s Dennis Hogan on 26 September in Berlin. Other fights coming up will see IBF No 4 light heavy Erik Skoglund defending his IBF Inter-Continental title in Nykoping Sweden against Ukrainian Olek Cherviak, super light prospect Anthony Yigit facing Frenchman Chaquib Fadli and unbeaten Heavy Otto Wallin taking on Russian Vlad Goncharov. Good to see professional boxing back in Sweden. A circus tent in Leipzig will be the venue for the next fight for unbeaten German light heavyweight Dominic Boesel and also on the show Felix Lamm fighting Phillip Schuster for the German International title at welterweight.

Roy Jones next fight has been postponed. Jones was to have fought Danny Santiago on St Maarten in the Caribbean on August 28 but Tropical Storm Erika could swing that way so the fight is off with a new date to be advised.

Vyacheslav Senchenko’s retirement was short-lived and he returned with a win in July. Now he wants only one fight-a return with Paul Malignaggi to get revenge for the ninth round loss in 2012 which cost the Ukrainian his WBA title. Could be a possibility if Paulie wanted it,

Good to see some activity in Nigeria as the country has produced such great boxers. There was a show in Lagos on 23 August which I was not able to cover in my report (yes it is possible!) so I will give brief details here. World rated cruiser Olanrewaju Durodola took just 48 seconds to kayo Ghanaian Paakwesi Ankrah, unbeaten Nigeria Jude Ilo took just 51 seconds to kayo Ghanaian Tricky Commey to retain the West African Boxing Union light heavy title, former WBO super middle title challenger and former undefeated CBC champion Isaac Ekpo halted Gabriel Adoku in three rounds and former CBC super fly champion Yakubu Kareem outpointed Akeem Muri. All the losers were from Ghana. It was good to see Durodola and Ekpo going back home for fights.

Durodola’s next fight could be a much tougher proposition as he is down to face big punching Dmitry Kudryashov in Kazan on 4 November. “The Russian Hammer” has won all 18 of his fights inside the distance whereas Durodola has only lost inside the distance once way back in 2012 so I guess they are hoping the Nigerian can give Kudryashov some ring time.

Former world champion Ilido Julio has been arrested in Colombia. The 44-year-old former IBO super fly champion is alleged to have links to a drug cartel. He was arrested back in 2012 for allegedly manufacturing, and possessing drugs but the case was thrown out due to inconsistent evidence. Julio fought in the USA, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Bahamas and Colombia facing Nonito Donaire, Jose Miguel Cotto, Dominic Salcido and in his last fight in November 2010 Adrien Broner.

The 10 most exciting Asian fighters

8/18/2015

0 Comments

 
Boxing might be the sweet science but, if we're all being honest, it's also a fight. Due to it being a fight we of course love the true fighters, the ones who come to the ring with the intention of stopping their opponents and are willing to do all they can to finish a fight early. In this feature we're going to take a look at 10 of the most fun to watch Asian fighters. Some fighters you will be familiar with whilst others you may not be too aware of, one thing is for certain however, these men mean business every time they step in the ring.
1-Naoya Inoue (7-0, 6)
It's been a while since we saw the “Monster” in the ring but Japanese youngster Naoya Inoue may well be the most fun to watch fighter on the planet and manages to be fun to watch whilst also being defensively sound and offensively destructive. 

The youngster from Kanagawa is as destructive as they come, with both vicious power in both hands, and manages to break opponents up with shots to either the body or the head. Unlike many on this list however he's not an out and out pressure fighter, instead he's a boxing machine who can do it all, box, slug or brawl. In Japan he's a star and unlike many Japanese boxers he's also a man known around the boxing world courtesy of his amazing 2014 which saw him claim world titles at both Light Flyweight and Super Flyweight, beating recognised world champions for both of those titles.

Next expected in the ring in Late December

3-Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (36-4-1, 33)
Pressure, power and aggression tend to excite fans and few fighters bring that combination together quite as well as 28 year old Thai Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. 

In many ways Srisaket is like a mini-Golovkin and always marches forward looking to get up close and break his foes down. Technically he's not as good as Golovkin and not as powerful in relation to his division but he does tend to throw a lot of shots and is really exciting. Sadly like many Thai's however he seems to fight a lot poor opposition leading some fans to question his ability. Wins against Yota Sato and Jose Salgado should however convince fans that he's the real deal and a must watch fighter.

The Thai destroyer is looking to get a rematch with the last man to defeat him, Mexican Carlos Cuadras. That bout isn't expected immediately though we'd be shocked to not see by the end of Q1 2016.

5-Jonathan Taconing (21-2-1, 18)
The stereotype regarding the “little men” is that they can't punch though no one seems to have told 28 year old Filipino slugger Jonathan Taconing, who boasts a 75% stoppage rate and has an average bout length of just over 4 rounds. 

Taconing does everything a fight fan could wish to see, he brings pressure, he brings power, he brings an intense will to win and it often looks like he has a genuine bitterness towards the sport. Whilst that bitterness is understandable, given the way he was robbed of a WBC Light Flyweight title in 2012, it's also really exciting and when Taconing steps into the ring we always suspect we're going to see fireworks. 

His heavy hands and aggressiveness was last seen in the ring when he beat Ramon Hirales Garcia, he's now expected back in action to defend his OPBF Light Flyweight title before a potential world title fight either at the end of this year or very early next year. And in all honesty that shot it well over due considering the ability of some recent challengers in the division.

7-Koki Eto (17-3-1, 13)
When we talk about blood and guts warriors few will match Koki Eto who was involved in a series of FOTY style bouts in 2013/2014. 

Eto is, of course, best known for his 12 round war with Kompayak Porpramook though battles with Yodmongkol Vor Saengthep, Ardin Diale and Denchailek Kratingdaenggym were also thrilling bouts. Technically Eto is limited but he has an insane will to win, a real grittiness and a mentality that seems to be based around thinking his offense is his best defense. We wouldn't be shocked to see his career feature several more thrillers before it's over and win or lose he's going to be a lot of fun to follow.

At the moment there is, sadly, no news on his next bout, though there is speculation that he may be in the running for a notable bout with an IBF ranked contender, or a defense of his OPBF Flyweight title. A rematch with Diale however seems to be a bout that many fans, who saw the first, are wanting.

9-Denver Cuello (36-5-6, 24)
When a fighter is dubbed “The Excitement” you know for a fact he will be fun to watch and that's the case with Filipino fighter Denver Cuello.

Cuello, like many others on this list, proves that the little men can punch and be thoroughly fun to watch. At one point he, like Pacquiao, would have been much higher on this list though recent years we have seen Cuello troubled by injuries which have resulted in him looking less spectacular than he once did. If those injuries are healed fully then he may well prove to be the exciting fight who blew through the likes of Ganigan Lopez and Omar Soto. If he's still fighting injured however he may well be in some dull contests in the future.

At the moment there is no set date on his next bout, but he will likely be eyeing up the winner of the recently announced WBC Minimumweight title bout between Wanheng Menayothin and Young Kil Bae, which will take place on November 27th.

2-Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30)
Kazakh destroyer Gennady Golovkin may well be the most feared man in the Middleweight division right now but fans and the media love him and his style which is based on intelligent pressure and incredibly heavy hands.
 
At times the 33 year “GGG” can be seen to be defensively naive but his chin has never looked like letting him down and in fact his “poor” defense has opened up opportunities for his power, as seen in his amazing stoppage against Daniel Geale. His ability to excite fans has turned him into a star around the world and should lead to a series of huge fights over the next 12-24 months, including a probable show down against either Saul Alvarez of Miguel Cotto. Wins against either of those two would have Golovkin as the de facto kingpin at Middleweight and see a growing call for him to move to Super Middleweight for a potential showdown with Andre Ward.

Next expected in the ring against David Lemieux in October.

4-Takashi Miura (29-2-2, 22)
Japan has a number of excellent fights at Super Featherweight, included in those is the incredibly fun to watch Takashi Miura. 

Miura is a marauding southpaw puncher with a serious chin, spiteful powerful and a style that often makes it look like he enjoys beating people up. Whilst plenty of fans have seen Miura he's still generally an under-rated fighter which is a shame as his competition in recent years has been solid and he's shown a willingness to travel, as seen in his 2013 FOTY contender with Sergio Thompson.

Although over-shadowed by compatriot, and fellow champion, Takashi Uchiyama we actually think Miura is the more exciting of the two and his style is certainly more active than Uchiyama's calm and calculating boxer-puncher style.

The rumour is that Miura is now set to get on the road again and face Francisco Vargas in the US in a bout that has “FOTY” written all over it.

6-Katsunari Takayama (29-7-0-2, 11)
Probably the most exciting fighter, pound for pound, on the planet today is Katsunari Takayama a Minimumweight warrior who has been involved in so many thrilling contests that it would be hard to know where to begin if we were doing a highlight reel for him. 

Last year Takayama was involved in possibly the FOTY when he took on Francisco Rodriguez Jr in an IBF/WBO world title unification and since then he has been involved in two more tough bouts, including a 9 round war with Fahlan Sakkreerin Jr. Sadly at 32 years old Takayama does look like he's an “old man”, especially given his division and given his style we don't expect him to last too much longer, sadly. At his prime however he was an all out warrior, tough as old boots, aggressive and his one major downfall was that he light on power, something that will likely have sped his "aging" progress as a fighter.

Although no announcement regarding his future has been made he's rumoured to be in action on September 27th against Ryuji Hara.

8-Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38)
Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao has been one of the sports most exciting fighters for more than a decade. Whilst it's fair to say he has slipped, significantly, from the fighter he once was he does still manage to excite fans and is that's both inside the ring and outside of it. 

The Pacquiao of a few years ago would have topped this list but the “Pac Man” does seem to have lost some of the fire that once made him a bonafide pay-per-view star. Things are also not helped by the recent memory of his dull contest with Floyd Mayweather Jr and his less than memorable showing against Brandon Rios. With talk of a Pacquiao Vs Amir Khan bout it does seem likely that Pacquiao will be in at least one more high octane contest before his career is over though the shine has certainly dulled on him in the eyes of many fans.

His ring return is likely to come next Spring though nothing is set in stone as of yet.

10-Daigo Higa (7-0, 7)
The youngest man on this list is Daigo Higa, who has just turned 20 and yet already looks like a man who is going to be must watch every time he steps in the ring. 

Higa is a stablemate of Koki Eto and fights in a similar, though more refined, manner. He's aggressive, aggressive and aggressive. Every time Higa is in the ring he comes forward, looks for the knock out and, so far, has scored one every time. For many his break out win came earlier this year, against Kongfah CP Freshmart, though fans in Tokyo were impressed by his wins over Virden Rivera and Cris Alfante, which were both impressively quick stoppages of solid fighters.  

We've been informed that Higa's team are hoping he'll make a ring return before the year is out, though there is no set date or opponent being linked to him as of yet.

Honourable mentions
-Wanheng Menayothing-Intelligent pressure fighter, even though he lacks lights out power he is great fun to watch
-Akira Yaegashi-A real warrior who is coming to the end of his career though will always go out on his shield and give fans good value.
-Takuya Kogawa-A warrior through and through. Though he lacks power he does enjoy a tear up and is scarcely in a dull fight
-Suguru Muranaka-Another warrior who enjoys a tear up and is more than happy to let his hands go despite not being a note puncher.
-Knockout CP Freshmart-With a name like “Knockout” you already know he's looking for the stoppage every time.
-Rex Tso-Like many featured above this man from Hong Kong is flawed but that's what makes him so much fun with every fight being a war

-Kyoo Hwan Hwang-Korean teenage has got ability though often lets his "Korean instinct" kick in and turns every fight so far into a slugfest

Divisional Over-view: The supreme Super Bantamweights

8/10/2015

0 Comments

 
The Super Bantamweight division is one of the most interesting at the moment in terms of the fighters in it, though has sadly been lacking in good match ups. Hopefully that will change in the near future as some of the notable fighters, finally, face off against each other. 

Here we have looked at some of the best in the division with short profiles on 9 of the best in Asia as well mentions of other top Asian's in the division and the other top names in the division world wide.

Nonito Donaire

Picture
“The Filipino Flash”

Undeniably the biggest name in the division is Filipino stare Nonito Donaire ( 35-3, 23) who has won titles in numerous divisions and is now looking to become a 2-time champion at 122lbs. Currently he is said to be targeting WBA “regular” champion Scott Quigg in what could be a blockbuster contest.

In the ring Donaire has proven to be skilled, fast and power and has scored wins over a relative who's who of the lower weights, such as Vic Darchinyan, Fernando Montiel and Jorge Arce. Sadly however at 32 years old he is regarded as a fighter coming to the end of his career and it could well be that another loss will spell the end of his remarkable career.

Popular with fans, TV networks and the boxing media in general Donaire is one of boxing's darlings. He has however shown some issues in recent years and after suffering loss to Guillermo Rigondeaux and Nicholas Walters it does seem that the Filipino has seen his star dull slightly after several memorable years as a star of the sport. Despite his waning popularity he is still among the biggest name “little men” in the sport and has been a staple of American TV for the better part of a decade.

Genesis Servania

Picture
"Azukal"

The third Filipino to make it on to this list is Pagara's stablemate Genesis Servania (26-0, 11) who has actually got one of the most impressive lists of names on his record and has one of the best resumes of anyone in the division, despite not being spoken about by too many outside of his homeland.

Aged 23 Servania is another of the youngsters of the many youngsters on this list. Despite his age he has already beaten the likes of Gerson Guerrero, Genaro Garcia, Angky Angkotta, Konosuke Tomiyama, Rafael Concepcion, Alexander Munoz and Jose Cabrera, all of whom were either world title challengers or world champions. Sadly though his career has faltered in recent times with only 2 fights in the last 13 months. Despite that he has continued to develop his skills at the ALA gym and is likely ready for a big fight when one is offered to him.

Blessed with natural ability, a sound boxing mind, good movement, under-rated power and a developing sense of experience the world really is Servania's oyster. There are things that could hold him back though he has shown more than enough to suggest that a world title will be his in the future. Not only has he shown skills but also the ability to be exciting, as he was in his 2013 war with Tomiyama, a bout that saw 4 knockdowns, including 3 in the opening round! Of course he'd rather not be needing to prove his heart, but he did pass that unexpectedly hard test and has genuinely impressed ever since.

Shun Kubo

Picture
“The Shinsei Prospect”

Another unbeaten Japanese prospect making his name at 122lbs is the world ranked Shun Kubo (7-0, 5). Kubo isn't a fighter who has received rave reviews but the 25 year old southpaw has impressed in several of his wins, including his victory last December against Luis May. Although world ranked already it's hard to say how good he's going to become.

Although footage of Kubo has been hard to come by he is a member of the Shinsei gym and has been in the gym with Hozumi Hasegawa who would have been as good a mentor as a young fighter would have wished for. Sadly however he's an almost unknown outside of Hyogo where all 7 of his bouts have been staged. Hopefully that will change soon though with Shinsei being based in Hyogo there is a real possibility that most fans won't get to see much of Kubo until he progresses beyond Japanese level. If that's the case he may remain one of the most well kept secrets in Japan, despite his WBC ranking.

Whilst Kubo is world ranked we need to confess that his next bout, scheduled for August 28th, is a real disappointment. He is lined up to fight Thailand's Jakarachlek Sor Wankaew, a man who really shouldn't last more than 2 or 3 rounds with Kubo. A win there is a given though we're hoping that that bout has merely been arranged to be a prelude to a much bigger fight before the end of the year.  

Shingo Wake

Picture
“The Mandatory Challenger”

We all know that Cuban fighter Guillermo Rigondeaux is the most slippery fighter at Super Bantamweight though Japan's Shingo Wake (19-4-2, 11) has shown similar ability on route to his rise through the ranks, and he's now the mandatory contender for IBF champion Carl Frampton.

Wake, like many Japanese fighters, was matched hard early in his career though has turned things around and is now on a 9 fight winning streak which has seen him turn his career around and score notable victories over the likes of Yukinori Oguni, Jaesung Lee and Mike Tawatchi, with the win over Tawatchai being the one that has netted Wake his big opportunity,

Whilst relatively unknown outside of Japan Wake is the sort of fighter who could well become a nightmare on the world scene with his tricky southpaw stance, his relative elusiveness, sharp punching and under-rated power. Sadly though for him he's not with a powerful promoter so will likely need to travel for the Frampton fight with rumours it could take place in either Ireland or the UK by the end of the year. That fight really could be a coming out party for a fighter who has been slowly making a name for himself in his homeland.

Tugstsogt Nyambayar

Picture
"The Mongolian King"

It's rare to get excited about a Mongolian fighter though we really couldn't be more excited than we are about the career of 23 year old former amateur stand out Tugstsogt Nyambayar (2-0, 2), who is widely tipped to become the most successful Mongolian since Lakva Sim.

Nyambayar only turned professional earlier this year yet has already impressed with back-to-back opening round stoppages, including a genuinely impressive 98 second victory over Manuel Rubalcava. He's now expected to be moved quickly through the ranks with aggressive match making that should make him into a contender in 18-24 months. Not only has he got real talent but he also has strong connections and a very good team guiding him in his career which is currently based in California. Given his connection he can be moved fast.

His amateur background is the basis for much of the excitement surrounding Nyambayar however in his pro bouts he has shown excellent shot selection, power, timing and all the other traits a fighter needs to progress. The real question will be regarding his chin though as we all know Mongolian fighters have proven to be very tough in the past and there is little doubting that Nyambayar could well be another iron chinned warrior from the harsh surroundings of Mongolia. Another question will be getting the youngster worth while rounds, a real problem if he keeps blasting opponents out in double quick speed.

Qiu Xiao Jun

Picture
“The Chinese Hope”

Chinese boxing has had a year to forget with Zou Shiming, Ik Yang and Ma Yi Ming losing in world title bouts. For many the attention has shifted to Rex Tso however some in the know are now tipping Qiu Xiao Jun (17-2, 7) as the next big thing in Chinese boxing, and with good reason. He's already the WBC #2 ranked fighter and holds the WBC “Silver” title.

Jun, unlike many of the top fighters in China, isn't aligned to Bob Arum but instead has stuck loyal with Zovi Boxing who have guided him this far and appear to be willing to match him well in an attempt to prepare him for a potential world title bout. That match making has seen him avenge his losses, both to the experienced Jonathan Baat, whilst also picking up the scalps of Rasmanudin, Jason Cooper and Silvester Lopez, who he impressively stopped in 6 rounds. He'll be looking for win #18 on September 12th before possibly having his team push him for a world title shot.

Although not the most skilled Jun has got a lot to like. He's on a 9 fight winning streak, since losing a razor thin technical decision, he's just 25 and is developing both his skills and his power. Although his record doesn't show it he's a heavy handed fighter and has stopped 3 of his last 4 foes, including Lopez. Of course with Zovi backing him the possibility is that he could become the new face of Chinese boxing.

Albert Pagara

Picture
“The uncrowned Prince”

Nonito Donaire isn't the only notable Filipino plying his trade at 122lbs. In fact he's one of 3 really notable fighters from the country making a mark on the division. Arguably the most promising is the unbeaten Albert Pagara (24-0, 17) who is just 21 years old but has already moved into the world rankings.

Blessed with genuine confidence, a good boxing brain, impressive speed, spiteful power and comprehensive amateur grounding Pagara is regarded by many as the top Filipino prospect. Whilst we know some Filipino's do get over-hyped by their countryman Pagara does look like a future champion and passes the “Eye Test” every time he steps foot in the ring.

Pagara was last in action on August 7th in Dubai where he defended his IBF Inter-Continental title. It's thought that if he keeps winning a world title fight will come sooner rather than later and with ALA Gym backing him there is little doubt that he as the right team behind and the connections to go all the way. He will, unlike some of his stablemates, likely have to travel for for the biggest fights out there but the key seems to be to continue developing him, for now at least. 

Sho Nakazawa

Picture
“The Show of Naniwa”

Japanese prospects seem to be coming through at an alarming rate in recent times. Another to possibly add to that list is the unbeaten 22 year old Sho Nakazawa (7-0, 4) who some are tipping as the next big star of the Osaka Teiken stable and one of the future stars of the Osakan boxing circuit.

Nakazawa was a stand out amateur on the Japanese domestic scene and although he took a while to really get going as a professional, being matched against 4 poor imports to begin his career, he is now looking thoroughly impressive and recently out pointed former world title challenger Silvester Lopez in his best win to date. As well as the win over Lopez we've also seen the youngster shut out former OPBF title challenger Jhunriel Ramonal. Of course those wins aren't huge wins but it's expected that he'll be fighting for a Japanese title in early 2016 before swiftly moving towards a world title.

Nakazawa is boxer-mover who has shown good speed, movement, power and punch selection. He has been down, dropped early by Lopez, but showed maturity to change his gameplan and never looked in trouble again after the knockdown. There is perhaps some worries about how long he'll remain at the weight, given that he's a tall fighter for Super Bantamweight, though given his youth he is likely to make his mark at 122lbs, at least domestically. We suspect his long term future will however be at Featherweight where his body will fill out.

Ye Joon Kim

Picture
“The Korean Wild Boy”

Talking about wildcard's its worth giving a mention to Korean bad boy Ye Joon Kim (12-1-2, 6) who is seen as the poster boy of the Korean Boxing Federation. Kim may not be the biggest name in boxing but to many he is viewed as one of the potential saviour to the Korean boxing scene. Sadly however he's an enigma who appears to blow hot and cold.

Aged 22 the Korean has proven to be a real talent, as seen in wins over the likes of Akihiro Matsumoto, Vergil Puton and Yoshihiro Utsumi. Sadly however the Puton fight was unexpectedly competitive and at times the youngster was made to look silly. Although a genuine talent it does seem like Kim is lacking a strong team behind him to keep him from being a clown out of the ring. Once he mentally matures he will almost certainly become a contender, and given the fact he holds an IBF regional title the odds are he could well become an IBF ranked fighter in the coming years or two.

If Kim can sort out his mental flaws there is a real possibility that he could become one of the fighters to help revive the Korean boxing scene. The odds are, however, that for him to get the bigger bouts he will have to travel away from Korea, possibly relocating in Japan or the Philippines, if that happens it really would take someone special to keep Kim on the right track, and we wonder if anyone will make that effort.

Other Asian fighters at Super Bantamweight worth making a note of are-

Yukinori Oguni (14-1-1, 4)-Oguni is a technically well schooled boxer-mover who is the current Japanese champion and a former OPBF title holder, who lost the belt by stoppage to Wake. Although talented he is a light puncher and will likely struggle to get beyond Japanese level again. Despite that he will be in interesting fights, especially at domestic Japanese level.

Yasutaka Ishimoto (26-8, 7)-Another Japanese level fighter who is often in entertaining bouts is Ishimoto, who is best known for out pointing Wilfredo Vazauez Jr. Ishimoto has come up short in a couple of Japanese title fights but is expected to get a third shot shortly and it could well be his last. If he manages to claim a domestic title then that will be a perfect way to close out his career.

Yusaku Kuga (11-1-1, 7)-One beaten Japanese prospect Kuga is a talented and capable fighter who is expected to reach OPBF level in his career. Aged 24 he's not viewed as a sensational prospect but certainly as a man with real promise. Promoted by Watanabe his future is bright but it's hard to see his route to the top considering his domestic competition. Saying that however we do like a lot.

Hikaru Marugame (5-0, 3)-Marugame is another Japanese prospect and one who is tipped to go a long way. The 25 year old turned professional last year and has looked fantastic at times though has yet to have a serious test. That comes on October 19th when he takes on Jonathan Baat in a really testing 8 round bout at the Korakuen Hall. A win there would be a big statement for the youngster.

Kongthara KKP (7-0, 5)-We'll admit we don't know enough about Kongthara to really make a comment about how good he will be, but so far he has been really impressive and already holds wins over Shingo Kawamura and Nouldy Manakane. The talent he has shown has already impressed and he's already proved his stamina and ability over 12 rounds. One to keep an eye on.

As well as the Asian fighters there are also copious non-Asian fighters in the division worth noting.

Guillermo Rigondeaux (15-0, 10)-The best of the division, by some margin, is Cuban sensation Rigondeaux. Unfortunately Rigondeaux is a fighter who has proven to be hard to match, had to advertise and almost impossible to keep onside. Plenty of fans will accuse fighters of ducking him though comments from his own manager make it seem like he's actually as tricky outside of the ring as he is on the inside. An on song Rigondeaux is a pure boxer, but sadly his time may be running down.

Carl Frampton (21-0, 14)-Northern Irishman Frampton is regarded by many as the clear #2 in the division. He's a boxer-puncher with a lot of talent, a growing fan base and a combination of skills, speed and power. In a recent bout fans saw Frampton being dropped twice, in what was his US debut, those knockdowns saw some question his chin, and ability, but he did win the bout and has continued his unbeaten run. It's now thought that Frampton will be fighting Wake before the year is out in what really looks like one of the best bouts the division could give us.

Leo Santa Cruz (30-0-1, 17)-Mexican warrior Santa Cruz once looked like one of the sports emerging stars. A 2-weight world champion with an exciting style he was supposed to be a throw to the Mexican fighters of old. Unfortunately a lot of the shine and good will he had built in his career has been damaged in the last couple of years as he's gone through a number of WBC defenses against weak opponents. Although he's tough and does throw a lot of punches the belief seems to be growing that he's a divisional cash cow but one with out the ability to face the other top fighters.

Scott Quigg (31-0-2, 23)-WBA “regular” champion Quigg was often seen as the weakest of the champions. In recent times however he has looked impressive and his recent blow out of Kiko Martinez was one of the most impressive wins of 2015. He's looking for a showdown with Frampton though it does seem unlikely that we'll see that one as mandatory obligations and promotional spats are standing in the way. Hopefully we'll see Quigg fight another top name in the near future, and Donaire is said to be the man his team are targeting in what would be an intriguing contest.

Eric Armit's Snipes and Snipes

8/6/2015

A huge thanks to Eric for sending us his latest "Snips and Snipes"
   Snips and Snipes 6 August 2015

Now we know that Floyd Mayweather is looking to go out with a whimper not a bang. He has all the money he will ever need and his focus now is on his legacy. In selecting Andre Berto as his next opponent he knows that the fight will not be a huge draw but is a low risk fight to make sure he gets to 49-0. With his ego the achievement of equalling Rocky Marciano’s figure will never be enough. I hear talk of another three-fight contract but I don’t see that. If he gets past Berto-nothing is certain in boxing-will he get away with another “Berto” for No 50? I don’t think so as Mayweather vs. Berto would be no draw without the 49-0 being there as a selling point. The sales figures for the Berto fight may be the factor that drives the 50-0 fight decision and also whether Mayweather will be able to hand-pick another low risk, low attraction fight. Looking past Berto it is tricky. Does Mayweather wait for Pacquiao to get fit again, does he go for return fights with Saul Alvarez or Miguel Cotto, does he give Tim Bradley a chance, could Keith Thurman or Kell Brook get in the mix or the winner of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux or Amir Khan who wants the fight so badly whatever he might say. Perhaps the noise I hear in the background is a few million fans praying for a Berto victory. Sweet dreams.

Putting Ramon “Rocky” Martinez vs. Orlando Salido on the undercard will give the show a Puerto Rican vs. Mexican flavour which the main event lacks as a target audience. Martinez lifted Salido’s WBO super feather crown when they fought in April so there is a revenge element in there.

Manny Pacquiao’s tax problems have not disappeared. The Commissioner of the Philippines Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) said recently that they will continue t0 pursue Pacquiao for the P3.2-billion (not sure if I got the decimal place right but it came out at nearly $70 million). The Philippines Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order stopping the Court of Tax Appeal from imposing on Pacquiao a surety bond of R4.9 million or a cash bond of P3.9 billion. The posting of the bond was a prerequisite for lifting a seizure warrant on Pacquiao’s bank deposits. I don’t suppose they would agree to go twelve rounds double or quits with you Manny even with your injured shoulder.

The recent kite flying over Deontay Wilder’s WBC title defence is horrifying. The names being bandied about are Hughie Fury, Kyotaro Fujimoto and Andrej Wawrzyk. Fury is a promising but still very raw novice who has not fought anyone of standing but has met the right sort of opposition for someone of his level of experience. Right now he is rated No 33 by the WBC so in theory that means the fight can’t be for the WBC title unless the WBC manipulate their ratings and give him a huge promotion for beating 41-year-old George Arias. It appears that Fury’s team are being sensible and saying that they would not have enough time to train properly for the 26 September fight but I am sure there must be among the 32 fighters above Fury being by-passed who would like to have been asked. Japanese champion Fujimoto as an opponent is a joke, but not a funny one. He is eligible being No 14-now. He is 12-1 with his loss being a stoppage by Solomon Haumona in 2012 and in his next fight Haumona was knocked out by Kevin Johnson. In his last fight in April Fujimoto only just scraped by Nobuhiro Ishida on a split decision. That’s the Ishida who weighed 158 ½ lbs when being knocked out in three rounds by Gennady Golovkin in 2013 and was almost 50lbs heavier when he fought Fujimoto. Just to have Fujimoto and Wilder stand next to each other would kill this one as Wilder stands 6’ 7” and Fujimoto 6’0” . Let’s hope that fades away. Wawrzyk was in the WBC ratings at No 31 after wins over Danny Williams and Frans Botha (wow!) but he was dropped for 16 months of inactivity and only returned to action last month with a win over a guy with a 3-14 record. A bit difficult to put him from nowhere to the top 15 on that basis but with sanction fees all is possible. Wilder had his pick and chose Eric Molina now he should be told to pick a credible opponent and not embarrass the WBC because if the choice is to be one of these three opponents then the WBC will either have to openly manipulate their ratings and lose what credibility having a good ratings team gives them or fit Fujimoto with skyscraper stilettos and hope no one notices.

It seems to be the time for throwing out names. For Jorge Linares’s opponent in Caracas on 17 October Rod Salka, Ivan Cano and Franklin Mamani are being mentioned. Mamani and Cano are in the WBC top 15 lightweights but Salka id down at No 27 super feather. After that the WBC may insist that Linares face his mandatory challenger Dejan Zlaticanin.

For Roman Gonzalez on 17 October in New York the list is Brian Viloria, Giovani Segura and McWilliams Arroyo and any of these would be a good fight.

Can’t say I am enthused by Adonis Stevenson’s 11 September defence against Tommy Karpency. His win over Chad Dawson has given Karpency the right to be there but he lost every round against Nathan Cleverly and was well beaten by Andrzej Fonfara. For Stevenson it gives him a legitimate challenger but he is falling behind Sergey Kovalev who is now generally recognised as the top dog at light heavy and the only way for Stevenson to change that is to fight and beat Kovalev-if he can. Good fight on the undercard sees Errol Spence (17-0) facing South African Chris Van Heerden (23-1-1).

If you are interested in money then you might like to know that Kovalev’s purse for the Nadjib Mohammedi fight was $750,000 and Mohammedi’s was $250,000. So $1 million, Mayweather had already been earned more than that before the referee finished giving his pre-fight instructions in the Pacquiao fight.

German boxer Enrico Koelling looked flat in losing his unbeaten record against Italian Mirco Ricci in February. He returned with two wins but again lacked the energy that brought him 16 wins in a row before the Ricci loss. He recently spent three days in an intensive care ward in a hospital in Berlin and that revealed that he was diabetic. He intends to continue his career and one of the first to send him best wishes was Ricci.

Omar Narvaez has been missing from the ring for a while but the former WBO fly and super fly champion has not retired. He is aiming to return to the ring on 18 September against Argentinian-based Dominican Republic fighter Dario Luis Pichardo. Narvaez was helping in the corner of Soledad Matthysse when she won the WBA and WBC female titles at featherweight last week. She is the sister of Lucas and the now retired Walter. Not a family to pick a fight with.

I am sure Frank Buglioni is already fired up for his challenge to Fedor Chudinov for the WBA interim title but he will be even more determined when he hears that Chudinov’s people are already negotiating with Team Sauerland for Chudinov to put his title on the line against Vincent Feigenbutz-after he beats Buglioni. That should be if-not after.

Boxing seems to be picking up in South Korea. They have had a number of shows there this year and so far they have been a success. Fighters being lured there for a planned show include Randall Bailey and Cuban Robert Alfonso. The promoter has also signed Pakistani Muhammad Waseem as a pro. He won both bronze and silver medals at the Commonwealth Games and a bronze at the Asian Games at 49kg. In his first bout on 4 October he is to fight for the Korean title.
(Ed's note- more about Waseem here- Pakistan star Muhammad Waseem goes pro! Debut set for October 4th!)

So Shane Mosley Jr tested positive for a banned substance and is under suspension with the Nevada State Commission. It brings to mind his father’s problems with allegations of Shane Snr. using steroids and EPO and for clarification on that you could go to You Tube and watch Shane admitting to taking steroids and EPO treatment from BALCO. Mosley always said he did not know these were banned substances but a $12 million defamation case Mosley started against the CEO of BALCO was "voluntarily dismissed with prejudice and without costs, disbursements or attorney's fees to any party against another," Read into that what you will.

IBF No 1 heavyweight Vyacheslav Glazkov keeps busy with a fight in Krasnodar on 15 August against Kertson Manswell. Wins over Tomasz Adamek and Steve Cunningham have seen him rise to No 1 making him the IBF mandatory so he is waiting for the winner of Wlad Klitschko and Tyson Fury.

A big shows is being planned for Moscow on 4 November with Alex Povetkin (you remember him don’t you Deontay) Denis Lebedev, Rakhim Chakhkiev and Dmitry Kudryashov all down to appear against the all-encompassing “TBA”.

There has been a lot in the newspapers about drug testing with German sources playing a part in uncovering what are alleged to have been very suspicious test results given by top athletes and not acted upon. On a much smaller scale there has been a testing case running for a few months now in boxing in Germany. After a fight for the IBF Mediterranean title it was revealed that there had been no testing by the National Anti Doping Agency (NADA). In itself that was not a problem as it is not compulsory under the rules of the overseeing body the GBA. However it became a problem when in response to this query over testing the promoter of the fight produced an NADA document covering the post fight testing. The only problem was that it was NADA headed paper but not an NADA report at all. The promoter said that the testing had been done by a laboratory but the results had been put onto a NADA document template from the internet. The NADA are far from happy and it rumbles on but just shows what a mess testing is in some areas.

Zimbabwean fighter Charles Manyuchi was subjected to a right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing when he went back to Harare last week. Manyuchi was fresh from an outstanding victory when he retained his WBC International welter title with a win over Italian Gianluca Frezza in Italy. His trophy for the fight was confiscated at the airport whilst crowds were waiting outside to cheer him. It all ended well with Manyuchi getting his trophy back and President Mugabe personally congratulating him. Must be one or two guys at the airport waiting for the axe to fall after that stupidity.

Still on Africa Boxing South Africa (BSA) finally got around to sacking their suspended CEO. A disciplinary tribunal had recommended he be sacked after they found him guilty on 10 out of 14 charges five of them involving “gross dishonesty”. For the past two years he has reportedly been getting paid approx 1,000,000 rand per month that’s about $7,500 per month for two years out of the pockets of the South African taxpayers and he was also paid bonuses for those two years! There will be quite a number of changes as the Chief Financial Officer was dismissed and the director of operations resigned before his disciplinary hearing. In typical government reasoning the man ultimately responsible for appointing these people will get no blame whatsoever for his own incompetence in letting this happen under his stewardship and will probably have the final say on the new appointees and god forbid that anyone with any knowledge of how the boxing world operates should get selected that would be totally against policy. And this is the organisation that says they are the ones to control broadcasting rights for South African boxing.

Boxing does continue down there and as in many parts of the world there is a “brotherhood” in the sport. A recent example was Rodney Berman’s gesture at his show at the weekend. Light flyweight Thabo Moabi lost in five rounds to DeeJay Kriel and his record dropped to 3-5-1. When Berman learned that Moabi works as a shelf packer for a low wage and trains in an open field because there is no gym around that he can use he added an additional 2000 Rand to his purse and made a donation of 10,000 rand towards a gym.

In other South African news former Floyd Mayweather victim Phillip Ndou is getting back into action. The 38-year-old former South African feather, WBC International and WBU super feather champion lost on a seventh round stoppage to Mayweather for the WBO light title in 2003 and lost to fellow South African Lovemore Ndou for the IBO welter title in 2009. His last fight was in 2013 and this fight will be the first in his birthplace of Thohoyandou.

Ndou fought from feather to welter so he put on a bit of weight as a pro but nothing compared to South Africa Vusumzi Mlindwa. He turned pro in 2008 weighing 145lbs and when he lost to Danie Venter on 29 July he was 231lbs. That’s a whopping 86lbs more and as he had not grown any taller it must have all gone to his waist. The word fat does not even begin to describe it.

There will a few matchmakers in Britain sorry to hear the Pole Krzysztof Szot has announced his retirement. Szot was a fill-in favourite coming over to face British young hopefuls and had just the sort of record a matchmaker looks for 1-8 in nine visits to Britain and always went the distance. Don’t despair there are plenty of Georgian’s Latvian’s, Hungarians Slovenians, Slovakians and even other Poles to fill the losers corner.

Vijender Singh’s signing pro forms with Queensbury Promotions has not gone down too well in some part of India. He was training to become a member of the Haryana Police (HP) and therefore an employee of that force. The HP are stating that Singh is a government employee and cannot accept another employment or remuneration from any other source without the government’s permission. Hopefully it will all be sorted out amicably as Vijender was an outstanding amateur and could stir interest in professional boxing in India.

Antonio Margarito is back in training and intends to fight again. He has said that he has had some good quality time with his two children and is ready to return to action. He has not fought since losing to Miguel Cotto in 2011. After the plaster casts in his gloves episode he is lucky to be allowed in any ring.

Back in 2012 Tor Hamer was making waves and after winning the Prizefighter Tournament and beating Kevin Johnson looked a reasonable heavyweight prospect. Losses to Vyacheslav and Andy Ruiz dented those hopes and his last fight, the loss to Ruiz, was in 2013. Late last month Hamer was arrested by police in New Jersey and allegedly he had in his vehicle 7.5lbs of marijuana. He is also being charged with resisting arrest by trying to run away.

Sad news from Denmark reported the death by suicide of former pro Anders Huggers. The Dane was a top level amateur a four-time Danish champion who competed at both the World and European Championships before turning pro. He ran up 11 wins but then was forced to retire due to an eye injury. He was just 34. RIP Anders.
