Read in an article that it will be a TRIPLEHEADER! 3 very good fights! Issac Chilemba ( 18-1-1 ) Vs. Edision Miranda ( 35-6-0 ) - 10 RDS Light Heavyweights Hylon Williams Jr ( 15-0-0 ) Vs. Rances Barthelemy ( 14-0-0 ) - Very talented and undefeated prospects ready to hit the scene. 8 Rounds, Lightweights. Magomed Abdusalamov ( 12-0-0 ) Vs. Pedro Rodriguez ( 8-0-0 ) - Abdusalamov is a tall KO artist. Love to see him fight David Price. :happy Rodriguez is also undefeated though, And who knows, He could be a threat! If the rumors are true, And I hope they are, All three bouts will be televised on ESPN 2 FNF. This card has solid, Competitive match ups. 10x better then this week.
They can't possibly televise all three fights unless they extend the time slot or the Adulesamov fight ends quickly. Williams and Barthelemy are both featherfisted, while Chilemba doesn't have knockout power but also is too good of a boxer to get caught by Miranda. Both of those fights will probably go the distance. Hopefully this will be Chilemba's coming out party. Now that he has legitimate trainers instead of a local Malawian, I hope he'll make big strides. He's gotten as far as he is basically on willpower and natural talent.
I have high hopes for Williams. He can fight in and out, he has great footwork, a good stiff jab, and his punch selection is outstanding. With the exception of his feather fists he is the total package, depending on if he has a Chin or not. I do have doubts about his Chin, however, because of his level of competition. In 18 fights he hasn't faced anyone who could punch or even anyone with a winning record. That is often a red flag that a fighter's management knows that his Chin is shaky. Hope he proves me wrong, however.
That's a very good point. When a guy is fighting nothing but light-hitters or tomato cans, there is indeed a good chance he's packing some glass in that mandible.
