[The Hammer]

Other good ones on March 27:

Bakhtov-Kretschman II
JC Gomez-Mazikin
Gamboa-Barros

Kielsa-Pajkic: undefeated young up-and-comers, for the Canadian HW title

and on Friday the 26th:

Helenius-Oloukun: battle of very good young HWs

[Guest]

Remember that site I told you about? They should have both the cards from Japan and Venezuela by the next day.

If you don't want to go that route, you could wait an extra couple of days for them to come on here (if that do at all). I'll definitely look for streams, but good, reliable ones will be hard to find I imagine.

Here are the fights that I am aware of. Feel free to post any fights of note, or ones that I have forgotten.

Arthur Abraham vs Andre Dirrell

Marcos Maidana vs Victor Cayo
Ali Funeka vs Joan Guzman II
(Daniel Jacobs is scheduled to fight on the Maidana card as well)

Anselmo Moreno vs Nehomar Cermeno
Jorge Linares vs Francisco Lorenzo

Koki Kameda vs Pongsaklek Wonjongkam
Oleydong Sithsamerhchai vs Yasutaka Kuroki

Steve Molitor vs Takalani Ndlovu

Erik Morales vs Jose Alfaro
Chris Henry vs Hugo Garay
Roman Gonzalez vs Juanito Hernandez

Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Jonathan Victor Barros

All the fights are good but I feel the one I've bolded will be the best.
The stylish Panamanian technician against the Mijares Conqueror and exciting puncher Cermeno.

Still debating whether or not I will attend Dirrell-Abraham. It's really tempting.

Chris Henry and Garay I can take or leave, but Gonzalez and Gamboa always put on a good show.

You are right. THat's the best night of boxing I've seen in forever.

That is just too much for me to process I might have a seizure trying to decide.

dirrell to beat abraham by UD

I like actually kinda admire Francisco Lorenzo. He's a dirty little fighter but he's a gritty as they come. He uses anything he has to stay in fights.


I believe this will be a true test to see if Linares is fragile or not mentally from his shocking ko loss.

Moreno is very underrated on here, as most Panamanian champs are.

Abraham vs Dirrell and Kameda vs Wonjongkam are the closest thing to superfights at the SMW and FW divisions. Those two fights will take the priority for me.

Absolutely agree about Kameda-Wonjongkam.

For those who don't know about that fight, it's between The Ring's #1 (WBC and lineal champ Kameda) and #2 (former WBC and lineal champ Wonjonkam, made 19 defenses of the title). Also, since it's 1 vs 2, it'll crown a new Ring champion.

Okay, cool.

Where are these fights taking place? I'm trying to group by location.

This isnt fair, I'm not going to be able to to leave my computer and television for 2 days trying to watch all of these.

I hate to say this because I think he had a fantastic career and I dislike Kameda's (all of them) but Wongjongkam is past it at this point and will likely lose a decision, around 116-112

Yeah, without a doubt, Moreno is underrated (he's proably not rated by most, in all honesty). He's pretty skilled and you have to respect this will be his fifth time defending his belt on foreign soil, despite having little power. He's dependent on his defense, counter punching, and his ability to control the ring.

Cermeno is a difficult opponent for anyone at 118, IMO. He's got decent pop, moves a lot, clinches, leans in with his head, and at times, is down right dirty.
