This coming Saturday is a less than exciting day in international boxing. Much of the action is taking place in Europe, though there is some notable female action in Mexico.
The only male world title fight of the day takes place in Germany, however it's a less than exciting title bout that really shows how farcical the WBA are. The bout in question sees the very talented WBA “regular” Light Heavyweight champion Juergen Braehmer (46-2, 34) defending his belt against Konni Konrad (22-1-1, 11). Breahmer is talented, but he's a league lower than WBA “super” champion Sergey Kovalev. Konrad on the other hand is a pitiful challenger who is ranked #133 by boxrec.com, an accurate ranking showing just what a joke he is as a challenger. The German card does feature some interesting hopes, such as Cruiserweight Noel Gevor (18-0, 10) and Super Middleweight prospect Stefan Haertel (6-0), both of whom should continue their perfect runs. The other European card of note comes from Leeds where fans get the chance to see a number of notable fighters, though unfortunately the bouts are, on the whole, horrible mismatches. On paper the most interesting of the bouts will see the unbeaten, and hugely popular, Josh Warrington (21-0, 4) take on Australian Joel Brunker (28-1, 16). This looks a good bout on paper but Brunker has got a padded record and Warrington has been relatively over-hyped, based on his fan base. It should be an entertaining fight but one that won't really effect the world scene. One fighter who may be eyeing up a future world title fight is former IBF Bantamweight champion Stuart Hall (17-4-2, 7) who takes on the horribly matched Arnoldo Solano (14-10) in what is a farcical mismatch. Another terrible mismatch will see former world title challenger Tony Bellew (24-2-1, 15) take on Arturs Kulikauskis (16-26-5, 8). Another former world title challenger on this card is Martin Murray (31-2-1, 14) who faces Jose Miguel Torres (31-6, 27). On paper the Murray bout looks good but the reality is that Torres is a limited opponent who was beaten black and blue by David Lemieux not too long ago. The most notable action in Americas comes from Mexico where fans will get a couple of female world title fights. On paper the most exciting of those comes at 108lbs where Ibeth Zamora Silva (23-5, 9) will defend her belt against Esmeralda Moreno (31-7-1, 10). On paper this could actually be the fight of the day. On the same card fans will also get the chance to see the much touted Rey Vargas (24-0, 20), who many are tipping to become a world champion. Another female title fight set to take place in Mexico will see WBA female Minimumweight champion Anabel Ortiz (17-3, 3) defending her title against the once beaten Sandra Robles (11-1, 5). This will be Ortiz's first bout since defeating Nana Yoshikawa back in April and we don't expect to see her struggle with Robles, despite the fact Robles is on a 9 fight winning streak.

This past Saturday was a very busy day in the boxing world with numerous world level fighters in action around the globe. It was, in some ways, one of the most interesting days of the year for boxing fans despite a lack of elite level fights or huge name fighters. One of the key bouts was a Middleweight clash between former world title challenger Martin Murray (29-1-1, 12) who scored a technical decision win over Italian tough guy Domenico Spada (39-6, 19). The bout, for the WBC silver Middleweight title, was certainly not the best fight of the weekend but was a very important one and it seems likely the winner , Murray, will be facing Gennady Golovkin next February, also in Monaco. That bout looks like one of the best that can be made in the division but can see past a Golovkin stoppage against the game British fighter. Another bout on the same show saw Unbeaten Light Heavyweight contender Eleider Alvarez (16-0, 9) score a statement win by stopping previously unbeaten South African Ryno Liebenberg (16-1, 11) in 7 rounds. Liebenberg was attempting to defend the WBC silver Light Heavyweight title for the first time however the win for Alvarez is likely to put him right in contention for a WBC world title fight. For us however the most interesting bout, both in the ring and in terms of general significance, was a Bantamweight bout between the unbeaten Randy Caballero (22-0, 13) and former champion Stuart Hall (16-4-2, 7). The bout was a very competitive and exciting one as both men gave their all, sadly for Hall his all wasn't enough to over-come the more technically capable Caballero who scored a second round knockdown and just edged the contest. For Caballero this opportunity was a well deserved one following his win in an eliminator against Kohei Oba earlier this year and now we're hoping Caballero will be considering a unification bout with Shinsuke Yamanaka. In Montenegro we saw two other fringe world class fighters in action. One of those two fighters was Dejan Zlaticanin (20-0, 13) who dropped the teak tough Alex Bone (10-19-3, 4) twice on route to a very wide decision victory. Zlaticanin is a world ranked fighter and is best known for his upset win over Ricky Burns though it does seem likely that he could struggle to find other big fights due to a lack of a major backer. The other man on the card was Super Middleweight contender Nikola Sjekloca (28-2, 8) who out pointed Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (25-10, 12) in a clear cut 8 round bout. Unlike Zlaticanin it's fair to say that Sjekloca isn't struggling to get big bouts and has fought both Sakio Bika and Arthir Abraham recently and will be back in the ring on November 22nd to fight Callum Smith. One final bout of note was a female on in Mexico as Yazmin Rivas (31-8, 9) defended her WBC Bantamweight title with a 10 round decision over Australian veteran Susie Ramadan (23-2, 8). (Image courtesy of http://www.goldengloves.co.za) This Saturday is a great day for boxing fans with a genuinely brilliant card coming from Monaco which is developing a real niche position in European boxing circles for some interesting international shows that show case many interesting fighters, some of which are getting their main exposure via these shows. The headline bout here will see Middleweight hopeful Martin Murray (28-1-1, 12) battle against former contender Domeico Spada (39-5, 19) in a WBC Silver Middleweight title bout. In theory, and lets be honest boxing never does what it should, the winner of this bout should face the winner of a contest between Miguel Cotto, the WBC world champion, and Gennady Golovkin, the WBC interim world champion. We're hoping to see Spada and Murray put on a great fight but we do feel that Murray has been over-rated for a decent showing against a badly damaged Sergio Martinez and that Spada has had more chances than he actually deserves. In a second Middleweight bout Britain's Nick Blackwell (15-3, 6) will be battling the under-rated Sergey Khomitsky (29-11-2, 12). This is a great bout even if no titles are on the line and we actually prefer it to the other Middleweight bout despite this bout being a level lower, that's because it's a more competitive match up. At least to us. At Light Heavyweight we get another WBC silver title bout as Ryno Liebenberg (16-0, 11) faces fellow unbeaten fighter Eleider Alvarez (15-0, 8). This is a genuinely great bout between two top 15 Light Heavyweights and it's hard to call either way. Both men are looking for the "big win" to get them into the mix and a win here could well be that big one that they so desperately want. Another bout on this card that looks very interesting will see the IBF Bantamweight title up for grabs as Randy Caballero (21-0, 13) battles against former champion Stuart Hall (16-3-2, 7). The belt, which was vacated by Paul Butler, was held by Hall earlier this year and we had hoped to see Caballero fighting Hall for the belt when Hall held it. Instead Caballero gets his chance now, a chance he earned when he went over to Japan and stopped Kohei Oba. We suspect this could be a good fight but we can't hide the fact that we are Caballero fans and hope that he can pick up the win here. One other bout on this card will see China's Xiong Zhao Zhong (24-5-1, 14) battling against Hekkie Budler (26-1, 9) in a WBA Minimumweight title bout. Whilst this is in Monaco it does feature an Asian fighter and we have fully previewed this bout here. As well as the action in Monaco we also have a very notable female title fight in Mexico as the very talented Yazmin Rivas (30-8, 9) battles the once beaten Susie Ramadan (23-1, 8) in a very interesting contest for the WBC female Bantamweight title. Both of these women are top tier fighters and both will come in to this bout with serious confidence and self belief. In many ways it's the bout of the day and we're expecting a very memorable contest between two equally talented fighters. (Image courtesy of http://www.goldengloves.co.za) Cotto claims Middleweight crown, Butler beats Hall, Breahmer retains and Breakhus looks sensational6/8/2014 Some weekends are busy without really being busy. They aren't weekends with legions of fights but yet they are weekends with enough notable action to look back and go "that was an interesting day or two in world boxing". We've had one such weekend this week with Saturday boasting more than the typical weekend's worth of fights with a trio of male world title bouts, a female world title bout and a slew of other intriguing contests. We'll start with the biggest fight of the weekend which took place in the legendary Madison Square garden and featured a boxer who could very well describe the place as a second home, in fact there is every chance the venue will begin charging him rent if he keeps returning. That man is Puerto Rican super star Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32) who put on one of his most sensational performances to date to claim the WBC and Lineal Middleweight title with an awe inspiring victory over Argentina's Sergio Gabriel Martinez (51-3-2, 28). Cotto started like a man possessed and dropped Martinez 3 times in the opening round. Unfortunately whilst it was the perfect start for Cotto it was a nightmare start for some who realised immediately that this was just a shell of Martinez. The Argentinian showed great heart to not just get back up but also fight on until being retired in his corner at the start of round 10. The win for Cotto reaffirms his position as the king of MSG and one of the truly elite fighters of his generation. It's a win that gives him a lot of options as to who he will be fighting next. Sadly however the result likely sends Martinez into retirement on what can be described as a humiliating contest for the Argentinian who never got the chance to really show his skills. He was admittedly 39 and physically a broken man but he'll have hated going out like this. This result also moves us all a step further from Gennady Golovkin getting a chance to prove he's the Middleweight on the planet as we cannot see any possible way in which Cotto and Golovkin get in the ring together. On the same card as Cotto's victory we had a little bit of everything. In the first bout of the main broadcast fans saw a KO of the year contender as Andy Lee (33-2, 23) landed saved his career with a perfect right hand that knocked the promising John Jackson (18-2, 15) out cold. Jackson had dropped Lee earlier in the bout and seemed to be going for the kill before being sent to the canvas from a single shot that instantly ended the bout. John Jackson, the son of famed puncher Julian Jackson, will have been feeling exactly the same as Herol "Bomber" Graham was when Graham fought John's father and was seemingly on the way to winning a fight before being caught by one of the greatest KO punches of all time. Another of the bouts on the same card saw exciting Argentinian Javier Francisco Maciel (29-3, 20) score an excellent victory over Puerto Rican puncher Jorge Melendez (28-4-1, 26). Maciel had only taken the bout on a few weeks notice but took his opportunity and really impressed fans who hadn't seen him before. Although, from the reports available, he was paid very little there are hopes that he will be invited back to the US for a more notable bout. Interesting a bout between Maciel and Lee would be something we'd love to see if Top Rank want to put that one one. The same card also saw Marvin Sonsona avenge his sole career defeat as he out pointed Wilfredo Vazquez Jr in a bit of a stinker. The most relevant world title fight for many Asian fighters took place in the UK as the unbeaten Paul Butler (16-0, 8) narrowly over-came Stuart Hall (16-3-2, 7) and claimed the IBF Bantamweight title in a very close bout that one judge, some how, saw as a dominant victory for Butler. Although Butler looked very classy at times he was unable to hurt Hall who came on very strong in the second half of the fight and in all honesty it could have gone either way. Although their was talk of a rematch between Hall and Butler it does seem likely that Butler will be forced to fight IBF mandatory challenger Randy Cabellero next. Cabellero, who travelled to Japan and beat Kohei Oba in an IBF eliminator, has been left waiting longer than expected and will be rearing to go at Butler who is skilled but is more of a natural Super Flyweight than Bantamweight. Despite what British TV suggest Butler would not be eligible to immediately move down and fight for the IBF Super Flyweight title with a bout for that belt now set for month at the amazing Protopia hotel in Kobe between Teiru Kinoshita and Zolani Tete. On the same British card we've got to admit we were very impressed by Bradley Saunders (10-0, 8) who looked sensational in an 81 second blow out of the usually durable Ville Piispanen (18-5-3, 6). This victory saw Saunders winning the WBO Inter-continental Light Welterweight title and at 28 years old we'd expect him to be put on a relative fast track for a British fighter. The other world title action was in Germany where we had both a male world title fight and a female world title bout. The male bout saw the talented but controversial heavyweight Juergen Braehmer (44-2, 32) retain his WBA Light Heavyweight title with a decision victory over Argentina's Roberto Feliciano Bolonti (35-3, 24). Braehmer, although not a spectacular fighter, is experienced skilled, and the sort of fighter who will never be an easy opponent for anyone at Light Heavyweight. Sadly he's also not a big traveller meaning that he's almost certainly not going to get in amongst the divisional elite, such as Sergey Kovalev, Bernard Hopkins or Adonis Stevenson. Instead the WBA title is likely to remain in Germany until someone surprises Braehmer. Whilst Breahmer will never be the best in his division it's almost ludicrous to deny that Cecilia Braekhus (25-0, 7) is the best female Welterweight on the planet. She again showed her class as she defended her WBA, WBC and WBO female titles in impressive fashion clearly defeating the out-classed Jessica Balogun (24-4-, 12) in a masterful performance. At 32 years old there is little out there for Braekhus though there is a mooted super-fight with Christina Hammer, that's almost the only bout that anyone wants to see her in, though contests with Delfine Persoon or Erica Anabella Farias might do if a contest with Hammer can't be organised. (Image courtesy of Top Rank) When we look at big weekends in the boxing world we tend to speak about weekends which are busy with numerous would title fights across all sorts of divisions. We do have numerous world title bouts this Saturday but we've got to admit that all the excitement surrounds just one of those world title contests with the others coming as more of a pleasant distraction whilst we wait. The big fight is in New York as two of the sports genuinely big names collide in a bout for the WBC Middleweight title. This will see defending champion Sergio Gabriel Martinez (51-2-2, 28), fighting for the first time in over a year, battling against Puerto Rican superstar Miguel Cotto (38-4, 31). For Cotto this is a chance to become a 4 weight world champion, for Martinez it's a chance to return to the ring and try and claim another notable victory. Although Martinez/Cotto fight is the main event in Madison Square Garden it is just one of a number of bouts that we feel is of interest. Another of those bouts is obviously the rematch between Marvin Sonsona and Wilfredo Vazquez Jr whilst another is a brilliant Light Middleweight contest between the huge puncher Jorge Melendez (28-3-1, 26) and former world title challenger Javier Francisco Maciel (28-3, 10). This is one that has split us over who will win and looks like a really exciting contest between two men who really can bang. A 4th bout of interest here will see see the popular Andy Lee (32-2, 22) take on the big punching John Jackson (18-1, 15). Jackson is the young son of former world champion Julius Jackson and numerous people from the media are very high on the kid and Lee should be able to give him a genuine test here. One of the few "other" world title buts takes place in the UK where IBF Bantamweight champion Stuart Hall (16-2-2, 7) takes on the promising and unbeaten Paul Butler (15-0, 8). We think this chance really should have gone to Randy Caballero, who beat Kohei Oba in an eliminator earlier this year. We do like the fight in terms f what it should say about both though aren't convinced either man is even the best Bantamweight in the UK so we do feel a little annoyed at the IBF more than the men involved. In Germany we get the two remaining big bouts. The first will see female pound-for-pound queen Cecilia Braekhus (24-0, 7) defending her collection of titles against against the tough but limited Jessica Balogun (24-3, 12). We expect Braekhus to show off her skills here but it's as good a match as you can make for the Welterweight queen who really is untouchable at times. Unfortunately the other bout, which sees WBA Light Heavyweight champion Juergen Braehmer (43-2, 32) defending his belt against Roberto Feliciano Bolonti (35-2, 24) looks like a major mismatch, despite the similar records of the men involved. The only other bout real note is in Mexico where the big punching former world champion Daniel Ponce De Leon (45-6, 35) takes on the tough Miguel Roman (45-11, 34) in a bout that could turn out to be a slug fest of the highest order. (Image courtesy of Top Rank) This past Saturday was of course highlighted by power punching Russian Sergey Kovalev who defended his WBO Light Heavyweight title for the second time. He wasn't the only world champion in action though and in the UK fans got the chance to see IBF Bantamweight champion Stuart "Stuey" Hall (16-2-2, 7). Unfortunately for fans expecting a great fight between Hall and fellow Brit Martin Ward (18-2-1, 4) things were disappointing as a clash of heads caused a cut on Ward which lead to a 2nd round technical draw. Although the bout was disappointing it did have significance to us with the champion, Hall, now set to face the winner of the eliminator that takes place on April 4th between Kohei Oba and Randy Caballero. The Hall/Ward was the biggest male fight other than Kovalev's though on the same card as Kovalev's bout we had a well matched bout between the once beaten Thomas Dulorme (21-1, 14) and the previously unbeaten Karim Mayfield (18-1-1, 11). The bout flared up at the weigh in, when Mayfield licked the chest of Dulorme, though unfortunately the bout failed to come alive with Dulorme's holding and Mayfield's tentativeness really spoil what looked, on paper, to be a great fight. Unfortunately for Mayfield he was thoroughly neutralised for chunks of the bout leading to him dropping a decision. In terms of female boxing the biggest bout, by a mile, was in Argentina where IBF Super Flyweight champion Debora Anahi Dionicius (16-0, 5) successfully defended her title with a 4th round stoppage over Neisi Torres (11-2-1, 7). This was the second Torres had been beaten in a world title bout on and probably sums up the feeling that she's not world class. Unfortunately it's very unlikely Dionicius will face WBA champion Naoko Fujioka who would likely dominate Dionicius if they did meet. Saturday's are usually the biggest day in Western boxing and that's exactly what's happening this weekend with notable bouts in Argentina, the UK and the USA. The first of the major bouts is in the UK as IBF Bantamweight champion Stuart Hall (16-2-1, 7) makes the first defense of his title. Hall will be hoping to defend against fellow Brit Martin Ward (18-2, 4). Hall won the title late last year by defeating South African Vusi Malinga and in all honesty it's very hard to see Ward beating him. Whilst the Hall/Ward fight isn't one we're a big fan of we're happy to know that the winner will be facing the winner of the up coming fight between Kohei Oba and Randy Caballero in what should be a much more interesting contest. On the same card in Britain the unbeaten Frankie Gavin (18-0, 12) will be fighting Sacky Shikukutu (18-2-1, 12) in what should be Gavin's final fight before heading towards a world title eliminator, then again some have been saying that for what feels like an eternity. On a separate show in the UK Rendall Munroe (27-4-1, 11) will be in action. Munroe, best known for his loss to Toshiaki Nishioka, will be fighting in what looks like a gimme as he fights against journeyman Youssef Al Hamidi (12-66-3, 1). Munroe is a faded fighter but for many British fans he's the key win for Nishioka who is sadly forgotten by many fans in the west. In Argentina the key fight is a female world title fight as IBF female Super Flyweight champion Debora Anahi Dionicius (15-0, 4) battles Neisi Torres (111-1-1, 7). We're strongly favouring Dionicius here though can't see anyway in which the Argentinian could beat fellow Super Flyweight champion Naoko Fujioka who is simply in a league of her own. In the New Jersey, alongside Sergey Kovalev's fight with Cedric Agnew, there are two other interesting looking bouts. One of those bouts will see Karim Mayfield (18-0-1, 11) battling Thomas Dulorme (20-1, 14) in a really good looking Light Welterweight bout. This bout surprisingly boiled over at the weigh in with both men wrapping their hands around the other's throat, as pictured above, and we're expecting a really nasty battle here. The other bout in New Jersey that caught our eye sees Lionell Thompson (15-2, 9) fighting the unbeaten Radivoje Kalajdzic (14-0, 10) in what should be a very interesting bout even if it's clearly the #3 bout on the show. On a separate US show fans will get to see the return to the ring of former world champion Brian Viloria (32-4-0-2, 19) who takes an easy return bout against Juan Herrera (9-7, 4). Viloria has been out of the ring for almost a year following his loss to Juan Francisco Estrada in Macau and it's expected that a win here will move him on to another bout in Macau. (Photo thanks to badlefthook.com) To Japanese fans South African Vusi Malinga (21-5-1, 12) is a footnote on WBC Bantamweight title reign of Hozumi Hasegawa who stopped Malinga inside a round. This past weekend saw Malinga fall short in his third world title bout as he was out pointed by brave Englishman Stuart Hall (16-2-1, 7) in what turned out to be one of the fights of the weekend. With the victory over Maligna we saw Hall becoming the IBF Bantamweight champion claiming a title previously held by Hall's countryman Jamie McDonnell (23-2-1, 10) earlier this year. On paper the logical match up is a contest between Hall and McDonnell in an all-British affair though there is a worry that promotional issues could prevent the bout from taking place with Hall's promoter Dennis Hobson, the former promoter of McDonnell, certainly having a reason to resent McDonnell. The bout between the Brits will likely be made in 2014 with Hobson and Hall getting a nice pay day in return for taking it, though that doesn't mean that Asian fighters shouldn't be eying up the possible winner of that clash. Amongst those ranked by the IBF are Kohei Oba (35-2-1, 14) the #6 ranked fighter and the #12 ranked Ryosuke Iwasa (16-1, 10). Although we'd assume Iwasa was angling for the WBC title, where he is the #1 contender he may view the IBF title as an easier route to the top. For Oba though the IBF title may well be a serious option for a man who effectively in with a real chance of getting an IBF title fight in 2014 or 2015 if that's the route he wishes to persue. We wouldn't favour Oba against Hall or McDonnell, at least not in Britain, but both fights would be very interesting and are certainly more winnable for Oba than bouts with Shinsuke Yamanaka (WBC champion) or Anselmo Moreno (WBA "super" champion) whilst Tomoki Kameda (WBO champion) would likely have Oba well down his list of possible opponents. Whilst this coming Saturday isn't a major day for boxing in Asia it is a day that could see several Asian fighters looking at possible future opponents with 3 world title fights taking place, all of which are in divisions where Asian fighters are highly ranked. For Japanese fans in particular, the bout to be give attention to is in Britain where Stuart Hall (15-2-1, 7) battles former Hozumi Hasegawa opponent Vusi Malinga (21-4-1, 12) for the vacant IBF Bantamweight title. Although the winner of this bout is expected to face former champion Jamie McDonnell (23-2-1, 10) next there are several Japanese fighters with good IBF rankings. Whilst McDonnell (#3) with the IBF is the favourite to face the winner it's fair to say that Kohei Oba (35-2-1, 14), the IBF #6 ranked fighter, and Ryusoke Iwasa (16-1, 10), the IBF #12 ranked fighter would both be looking at the IBF title as a possibility. Neither would be favoured against WBC champion Shinsuke Yamanaka, at best Iwasa would be seen as a 50-50 chances with WBO champion Tomoki Kameda and neither would be fancied against WBA "super" champion Anselmo Moreno. The IBF belt might be their easiest route to a world title. Staying with Japanese fans they'll almost certainly have an indirect interesting in what goes on in Spain as IBF Super Bantamweight champion Kiko Martinez (29-4, 21) takes on South African Jeffrey Mathebula (27-4-2, 14). This is Martinez's first defense and it's expected that the winner of this will be defending against Britain's Carl Frampton (17-0, 12) in 2014. Despite the fact Frampton is the first in the queue it still one of the easiest titles at 122lbs to win due to the fact that the other champions include Leo Santa Cruz and the excellent Guillermo Rigondeaux. The winner will be almost certainly be on the radar of both Hidenori Otake (21-3-1, 9), the IBF #6 ranked fighter, and Yasutaka Ishimoto (23-6, 6), the IBF #9 ranked fighter, who will see the winner here as one of their best chances to take a world title at Super Bantamweight. Whilst the Bantamweight and Super Bantamweight title fights are mostly going to get the attention of Japanese fans the final major contest will be one that should get the attention of Thai fans and Filipino's as well as Japanese ones. This bout, in Argentina, sees WBO Super Flyweight super champion Omar Andres Narvaez (40-1-2, 21) defending his title against David Carmona (16-1-4, 8). From the Thai point of view Narvaez is the only man in the division who could be seen as a better fighter than WBC champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. We don't expect to see a WBC/WBO unification but that is certainly a bout that we'd love. As well as Srisaket other Thai's who may want to keep an eye on this bout are Suriyan Sor Rungvisai (31-5-1, 13), the WBO #7 ranked fighter, Oleydong Sithsamerchai (51-1-1, 17), the #10 ranked fighter, Denkaosan Kaovichit (62-3-1, 26), the #12 WBO fighter, Tepparith Kokietgym (24-3, 14) the #14 ranked fighter and Noknoi Sitthiprasert (46-4, 27) the #15th ranked fighter. For Filipino fans the bout holds interest as Arthur Villanueva (24-0, 14), the #3 ranked fighter, and Mark Anthony Geraldo (29-4-3, 13), the #4 ranked fighter, could both be viewing up the winner as their next opponent. Neither would be favoured against Narvaez but both have the ability to really test him. As for Japanese fighters both Koki Kameda (32-1, 17), the #2 ranked fighter, and Teiru Kinoshita (19-0-1, 3), #13. For Koki it would make sense to make the most of his high ranking and hope that the WBO will have a vacant WBO title due to the "super" status of Narvaez. With Koki looking for a 4th divisional title this bout really does make a lot of sense for him to be keeping an eye on. With 9 of the top 15 WBO ranked Super Flyweights being from the Orient this bout really should be one that has the eye of every Asian boxing fan out there this coming Saturday. |
