Boxing Prediction: Kevin Johnson vs Cristian Hammer; 2013-12-20, Germany

  

   34 years old Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson(29-3-1(14 KO) rated number 10 in the USA and number 31 in the world will face  26 years old WBO European heavyweight champion Christian Hammer (14-3(10 KO) rated number 3 in Germany and number 30 in the world on this Friday, December 20 in Messe, Hamburg, Germany. This will be a 10 rounds bout with no title on stake.

   Kevin Johnson comes to this fight after impressive win against Solomon Haumono(20-1-2) by KO round 10 in one sided fight on April this year. Before that he lost against well known undefeated British boxer Tyson Fury (19-0) by unanimous decision on the end of 2012.

   Christian Hammer comes to this fight after big win, which was a surprise against only once defeated tough Norvegian Leif Larsen(17-1) by  KO round 7 on August this year. Larsen lost only against Odlanier Solis before that fight. Before Larsen he stopped Oleksiy Mazikin(14-7-2) by  TKO round 6 on February this year.

    This will be a big test for the Champion as he never fought anyone from the world level. Kevin Johnson believes he is an A class boxer and he will have no problems with some C class champion. I don't rate Johnson as an A class boxer, I believe B+ is the best rate he can get. Well we can see how it will go on this Friday night....

Post Fight Analysis: Keith Thurman vs Jesus Sotto Karass: Thurman by TKO round 9;

   Keith "One Time" Thurman stays unbeaten after a very impressive win against very tough Mexican Jesus Soto Karass on last Saturday night in Alamodome, Texas, USA.  Thurman did as he promised, he knocked Karass down. It was 22 victory and 20 KO/TKO win for Thurman.  I predicted Thurman to knock Soto Karass on the 8-th round, but Thurman needed 1 round more and he knocked Karass down on round 9.
 

   It wasn't a very big knockout, just I can say that the fight was little bit competitive in first three rounds, after that it was almost one side beating for Karass. And I believe when Thurman dropped Karass on the 9-th referee decided just to stop that beating and stopped the fight. It looked like Karass had no problems with that decision. He is a good fighter and brawler, but Thurman is just too fast and too strong for him.

   In fact Karas shocked me in the first seconds of the first round when he was able to stun Thurman with his big punch and then he went for a kill. He connected few more big punches, but Thurman recovered very fast, he started to move a lot and land his punches. I can say that he looked better in the second half of the first round.

   From the second round all the fight went in the same manner. Thurman was moving a lot and connecting his fast jab and big body punches and upper cuts to the head. He never stayed in one place just moved and moved so he was a very hard target to hit for a slow Karass.....

Post fight Analysis: Adrian Broner vs Marcos Rene Maidana: Maidana by UD;

  

   Former undefeated very talented and too self-confident Adrian Broner took a terrible beating last Saturday against hard hitting Marcos Rene Maidana in Alamodome, Texas,USA. All three judges scored 117-109, 115-109, 115-110 for Maidana. It was first professional loss for Broner, in this one sided fight he also lost his WBA World welterweight title. 

   December this year is the month of the "upsets". Adrian Broner joined the ranks of failures with Daren Barker, Devon Alexander, Zab Judah and Austin Trout. Nice job. Before this fight almost all boxing experts and fans had one opinion. Broner will win easily...

   There were few including me, who saw some questions in Broners ability to take big punches, but most people believed the hype, as Broner said "I don't care about his power, because he can't touch me". Broner believed that he can't be touched, well it seems that he can be not only touched very easily but also dropped by a slow puncher.

  From the first second of the first round it was clear that Broner can be touched. And I understood that he will be dropped soon if he will continue to fight that way. Instead of boxing and moving he started to brawl with Maidana. He was caught with some big punches but he took them well. Maidana wasn't going only for the head, he worked a lot on Broners body as I predicted.

   It was just the matter of time when will Broner go down with the rate of big punches that Maidana was landing oh his head. And the first knockdown came very fast....

    Undefeated 25 years old Keith "One Time" Thurman (21-0-0(19 KO) rated number 7 in the USA and number 11 in the world will face very tough 31 years old Mexican Jesus "Renuente" Soto Karass (28-8-3( KO 18) rated number 2 in Mexico and  number 13 in the world on this Saturday, December 14 in Alamodome, Texas, USA. This will be the under card fight on Broner vs Maidana bout. This will be the fight for interim WBA World welterweight title.

   For some people Jesus Soto Karass record looks poor, but he is the fighter who has his ups and downs and now he is on the top after 2 impressive wins against strong fighters.

   Keith Thurman comes to this fight after impressive win against at that time unbeaten very hard hitting Diego Gabriel Chaves (22-0) by TKO round 10 on July this year. Before that he won by the unanimous decision in a one sided fight against  Jan Zaveck(32-2) on March this year.

   Jesus Soto Karass comes to this fight after very impressive win against Andre Berto (28-2) by TKO  round 12 on July this year. He dominated Berto all the fight and finally dropped him on round 12. Before that he  won by a majority decision against hard hitting Selcuk Aidyn(26-1) on January this year.

   This is a big step up for both fighters. Puncher with good boxing skills vs Fighter with good brawler skills. This fight is definitely worth to watch....

Post fight Analysis: Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Joseph Agbeko: Rigondeaux by UD;

   Guillermo Rigondeaux  stays unbeaten after very impressive win by unanimous decision against Jospeh Agbeko. All 3 judges gave 120-108 for Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux successfully defended his WBO Super World super bantamweight and WBO super bantamweight titles.
 

   Many people thought that it will be another boring match will little action from Rigo, and a lot but not so successful action from Agbeko. But the fight went completely different way. Southpaw Rigondeaux started the fight very active, this time he used a lot of offensive weapons. One of them was an upper cut from the outside and this is the punch you wont see a lot. Especially the one that connects so often.

   I mean from the first round everybody was expecting Agbeko to go forward as he always does, and Rigo staying on the defensive stance and countering Agbekos punches. Instead of this Rigondeaux started to use his jab and short combinations and he put pressure on surprised Agbeko....

Post Fght Analysis: Devon Alexander vs Shawn Porter: Porter by UD;

   Shawn Porter brought the biggest upset on this weekend of upsets by defeating Devon Alexander by unanimous decision on last Saturday night in Barclays Center, New York. All three judges scored 115-113, 116-112, 116-112 for Porter.  Porter left arena with Alexanders IBF welterweight title. 
 

   I mean this was a big surprise for me and for a lot of boxing fans and experts. Porter came to the fight as a big underdog without any big names in his record, but he managed to dominate Devon Alexander who looked very poor that night.

   All this fight was a big mystery for me.

   I mean Devon Alexander is a southpaw and usually it is very hard to land your jabs against the southpaw fighters. And Shawn Porter is not the one that has a perfect jab. But that jab was landing so much that it was unbelievable for me.

   From the start Shawn Porter decided to go inside as a machine and I believe Alexander wasn't expecting that to happen. He went inside and landed his big shots to the body and head. And for Alexander it was a surprise. Alexander can land good counter-punches but for some reason he was fighting strange brawl.....

Post Fight Analysis: austin Trout vs Erislandy Lara: LAra by UD;

   Austin Trout suffered the second straight loss last Saturday night in Barclays Center, New York against very talented boxer from Cuba Erislandy Lara. Trout lost this fight by unanimous decision. Judges scored 109-118, 110-117,110-117 for Lara. It wasn't the total destruction of the Trout like it can look from the score cards. But Trout was outboxed in almost every round. And he was also dropped on round 11, but he managed to get up and continue. 
 

   Erislandy Lara won the vacant WBA World light middleweight title and now he is looking for some big name next. But I really doubt anyone from major players will be interested in facing Lara next. It is not because Lara is very dangerous, it is because he is very talented counter-puncher boxer and very hard opponent to fight against.

   I mean this win over Austin Trout was another very unimpressive fight to watch. Austin Trout went forward for all 12 rounds using his jab to the body, and Lara was moving backwards all the time and 2-3 times in the round connecting his one-two. And it was for all 12 rounds.....

Before that he was robbed with a draw against at that time undefeated Vanes Martirosyan(32-0) on the November, 2012. The fight was stopped on round 9 because of the cut over Martirosyans left eye that opened after accidental head butt.

   This will be an epic battle of two southpaws. It is a very close fight and anything can happen here.....

   Devon Alexander comes to this fight after TKO round 7 victory over Lee Purdy(20-3-1) in one sided fight on May this year. It was not a real TKO just Purdys corner stopped the fight when they saw that there fighter takes a lot of shots and lands almost nothing. Before Purdy Alexander won by unanimous decision against Randall Bailey(43-7) on October last year.

   Shawn Porter comes to this fight after the win by unanimous decision against Julio Diaz(40-8-1) on September this year. Before that he won against Phil Lo Greco(25-0-0) by unanimous decision in one sided fight on May this year.

  Both fighters are pure boxers with no big power. I believe this fight will go to the distance because I see no way one of them can knock out another....

Boxing Prediction: Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Joseph Agbeko: 2013-12-07, USA

   Very talented undefeated 33 years old Guillermo "The Jackal" Rigondeaux (12-0-0(8 KO) rated number 1 in Cuba and number 1 in the world will face 33 years old former IBF bamtamweight champion Joseph "King Kong" Agbeko (29-4-0(22 KO) rated number 1 in Ghana and number 32 in the world on this Saturday, December 7 in Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, USA. This will be a title defense fight for Rigondeaux.  WBA Super World super bantamweight title and WBO super bantamweight title at stake.
 

   Guillermo Rigondeaux comes to this fight after his impressive win against Nonito Donaire(31-1) by unanimous decision on April this year. Before that he won against Robert Marroquin(22-1) also by unanimous decision on September last year.

   Joseph Agbeko comes to this fight after his win against  Luis Melendez(34-8-1) by unanimous decision on March this year. Before that he lost second time in a rematch fight against Abner Mares(22-0-1) by unanimous decision on  the end of 2011.

   Rigondeaux is one of the best fighters in the world, also he is one of the most avoided fighters for now. He was planning to have a fight against some big name but no one was interested. Also he doesn't have a big fan base because he is not a puncher, but a pure boxer and his fights are not so entertaining to watch...

Post fight Analysis: Adonis Stevenson vs tony Bellew: Stevenson by TKO round 6

   
   Adonis "Superman" Stevenson(23-1-0(20 KO) made an impressive title defense last Saturday against only once defeated Tony Bellew from the UK. Adonis dominated all the fight and stopped Tony on the end of round 6. It was the second title defense fight for Stevenson. Two months ago on his first title defense he stopped Tavoris Cloud on the 7th round of one sided fight. Stevenson made a great performance and I am very interested whom he will face next. Carl Froch, Bernard Hopkins or maybe unbeaten Sergey Kovalev?
 

  From the first round Bellew took absolutely wrong tactics against hard hitting Stevenson. He decided to fight as number two boxer and was running all night from Stevenson. He decided to catch Stevenson on counters. I mean it was so wrong because Stevenson is 100% outside fighter. He felt like a fish in the ocean. Instead of using his height advantage Tony was running all night long. 

  All five rounds went in the same manner. Stevenson was chasing Bellew and landing his jab to the body and his big left hand to the head from time to time. Bellew also had his moments, he was able to land some very nice punches on counter and also some beautiful overhands, but Stevenson took all those punches very well. Maybe those punches could have a greater effect, but Bellew landed then very rare. He lost all first five rounds by my score card....

Post fight Analysis: Sergey Kovalev vs Ismayl Sillakh: Kovalev by KO round 2;

   Unbeaten Russian knockout machine Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev(23-0-1(21 KO) stays unbeaten after a very impressive KO round 2 win against very fast but poor chin Ismayl Sillakh. Kovalev successfuly defended his WBO light heavyweight title. It was his first title defense after he took this title from at that time unbeaten Nathan Cleverly on August this year. With such impressive wins Kovalev is rising very fast. After this brutal victory he is thinking about some big name next. He is willing to face Adonis Stevenson who destroyed Tony Bellew by TKO round 6 the same night. I was hoping this fight to go for some more rounds as I like both fighters, but Kovalev is just a monster.
 

   I mean round 1 was as I expected. Sillakh was moving a lot. He was much faster then Kovalev as was able to land some nice punches in fact. He moved a lot, went very fast in and out. Landed his combinations. But once when Kovalev was able to land his big shot I saw Ismayl hurt a little. But he came back fast and finished the round. I mean I like Kovalev very much but I believe Sillakh was a little bit better on that round. So I gave first round for Sillakh...
